Therefore, in order to show respect and respect, people will offer some dishes in the public sacrifice.

Maybe everyone doesn't know which one he introduced. So when offering a tribute, there are fruits and vegetables!

The tomb of Zhang Qian

Seat

Liu Che, the boss of the Han Dynasty, was in a bad mood before the big battle in Chang 'an. Seeing the rule of Wenjing in the early Han dynasty, the whole country was quite meteorological, but the hateful Xiongnu rode horses and invaded the territory with a knife, burning and looting. After some consideration, Liu Che thought of the "big moon country" bullied by the Huns. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could join hands and attack from both sides?

Crossing enemy territory to find allies was forced to get married and have children.

In 138 BC, Zhang Qian, who was originally the emperor's retinue, set out from Chang 'an with more than 100 followers and the wishful thinking of the big boss, and began a diplomatic expedition that lasted 13 years and traveled more than 8,000 kilometers. The idea is simple, and the reality is very skinny. Just after passing through Xiongnu territory, he was detained, stuffed with a local wife and gave birth to a lovely doll. The plan of the Huns was to tie the restless man up with his family.

It's a pity that this Hanzhong girl spent more than 3,600 days and nights in the "Hungarian camp" of Han, and finally escaped when the Huns were in civil strife and went all the way west. He foraged all the way and finally found the Yue family in the Amu Darya River basin. However, times have changed, and Yue Jiawang is unwilling to fight. He just wants to live a quiet life. After more than a year of lobbying, Zhang Qian had to leave for the DPRK. Unfortunately, the Huns caught him on the way and served his sentence again 1 many years.

In 126 BC, when Zhang Qian returned to Chang 'an in rags, the year before his departure had passed 13 years, and there were only two lonely people left in the huge 100-member mission.

The war alliance was not formed, but it cut in from the western regions, letting the Han Dynasty know that the world is so big and there are so many unheard-of countries in the west. The mysterious western regions have become recognizable symbols on the map. It is conceivable that Liu Che was surprised when he heard the report on the investigation of zhangqian, a missing employee on a business trip abroad. Zhang Qian's discovery of the Western Regions stimulated China people at that time, just as Columbus's discovery of America stimulated Europeans.

The Silk Road brought "gospel" to foodies.

Zhang Qian, who returned to Chang 'an, became the most knowledgeable person about diplomatic opponents in the Han Dynasty. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was happy, he didn't be a squire. In the future, he will specialize in developing allies in the western regions and know yourself. You can also cooperate with Wei Qing and Li Guangli to lead the army to fight. In addition, as such a knowledgeable and far-sighted expert on the western region, I will make you a "Bo Wanghou" Dangdang. After making friends, starting from Chang 'an, going out of Yumen, crossing Xinjiang and connecting Central Asia and West Asia, a spacious road gradually emerged in the long river of history. Along this spacious avenue, silk, lacquerware, bronze, iron, jade, ink and tea are continuously transported to the western regions and exported to Persia and Rome. People from the western regions of various faces, with their new species and new technologies, flocked to the ancient capital of the East, and Zhang Qian also brought back alfalfa, walnuts, grapes, broad beans, pomegranate and coriander.

The first great communication between the East and the West in human history was facilitated by Zhang Qian's "hollow journey". As the earliest propagandists and sowers, many years later, people in the western regions always say "Wang Bohou" when they see the Han people talking. What westerners want most is China's silk. It is said that the Roman emperor wore exquisite China silk robes to the Grand Theatre, which caused a sensation among the audience. No one saw the play except silk. China people's rarest "blood BMW" was regarded as an "artifact" to improve the fighting capacity and win the battle in the cold weapon era of the Jin-Goma Railway, which made Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dream.

68 generations of folk tomb-guarding sacrifices lasted for thousands of years.

In 1 14 BC, Zhang Qian died in Chang 'an and was buried in his hometown.

Baiya Village, Zhang Qian's hometown, is located in the southwest corner of Chenggu County, which is 1 km away from Zhang's tomb. Up to now, there are still more than 100 descendants of Zhang Qian in Baiya Village, which have been passed down from generation to generation, following the custom of sweeping graves to worship ancestors in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The descendants of the Zhang family have been guarding their ancestral graves for generations, and the custom of sweeping graves to worship their ancestors has never stopped. For thousands of years, people have regarded Zhang Qian as a rural sage, and the surrounding villagers have been adjacent to Zhang Gui's tomb for generations, and they are proud to live in Zhang Qian's hometown.

In Liulin Town, Chenggu County, there is also an "ancient Hu City", which is a folk legend that Zhang Qian built for Hu's wife, who lived in the city to teach. In addition to hometown, Zhang Qian has also achieved the reputation of an ancient city. Today, there is an "ancient city of Wang Bo" in Nanyang, Henan Province, which is said to be the fief of "Wang Bohou" in Zhang Qian. There is a Zhang Qian Bridge around here, bearing in mind the achievements of Zhang Qian's mission.

Brief introduction of Zhang Qian's tomb

Located in Raojiaying Village, Wang Bo Town, Chenggu County, Zhang Qian's tomb is the tomb of Zhang Qian, an outstanding diplomat of China and a pioneer of the Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty. The tomb is a brick tomb with an inclined pyramid-shaped mound, sitting west to east. The rammed earth seal is bucket-shaped and rectangular in plane, with a length of19.5m from north to south, a length of16.6m from east to west and a height of 4.26m..

In 1 14 BC, Zhang Qian died in Chang 'an and was buried in his hometown. Since the Han Dynasty, tombs have been recorded in all dynasties, and their evolution is clear. During the period of 1938, Northwest Associated University conducted a preliminary excavation of Zhang Qian's tomb, and unearthed clay sculptures engraved with Han Li's "Wang Bo Zao Ming", as well as gray pottery pieces, pottery pots, China five-baht coins and other cultural relics, which proved the authenticity of the tomb from archaeology.

Relationship with the Silk Road

Zhang Qian was praised as "China's first person to go to the world" for opening up the Silk Road. In BC 138 and BC 1 19, Zhang Qian made two missions to the Western Regions, which opened the world-famous Silk Road. Subsequently, messengers and businessmen kept coming and going along this road, and a large number of silks and silks were transported along this road, and "foreign bodies" from western countries were also introduced into the Central Plains. Zhang Qian made two missions to the Western Regions, and built a bridge between ancient China and Central Asia, West Asia and Europe in the social and economic fields for the first time, which opened a precedent for China's foreign exchanges.
