According to books such as The Hereditary Mirror of Tubo Dynasty, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the team was very large, and the dowry of Emperor Taizong was very rich. There are "siddhattha gotama, treasures, jade bookcases, 360 volumes of classics and various jade ornaments". He also presented all kinds of cooking foods, brocade quilts with various patterns, 300 divination classics, 60 books on distinguishing good from evil, architecture and technology, 65,438+000 therapeutic prescriptions, 4 medical works, 5 diagnostic methods and 6 medical instruments. It also carries all kinds of grains and turnip seeds.
In the first year of Yonghui (650), Princess Wencheng lived in Tibet after the death of Songzan Gambo. She loves Tibetan compatriots and is deeply loved by the people. She designed and helped build Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple. Under her influence, the technologies of milling, weaving, pottery making, paper making and wine making of the Han nationality were spread to Tubo one after another; She brought poems, agricultural books, Buddhist scriptures, historical books, medical books, calendars and other classics, which promoted the economic and cultural development of Tubo and strengthened the friendly relations between the Chinese and Tibetan people. The golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni she brought is still worshipped by the Tibetan people.
In the first year of Yonglong (680), Princess Wencheng died, and the Tubo Dynasty held a grand funeral for her. The Tang Dynasty sent envoys to pay tribute to Tubo. Up to now, Lhasa still preserves the statues made by Tibetans to commemorate her, which has a history of 1300 years.
There is also Princess Wencheng Temple in Yushu County, Qinghai Province. The statue of Princess Wencheng in the center of the temple sits on the lotus seat of the lion, which is 8 meters high, vivid and finely carved. Incense is constantly burning here all year round, butter lamps are brightly lit day and night, and Tibetan and Chinese people who come to worship are in an endless stream. According to legend, Princess Wencheng stayed here for a long time on her way to Lhasa and was warmly welcomed by local Tibetan leaders and the masses. Deeply moved, she decided to stay and teach local people agriculture and textile technology. Princess Wencheng Temple has been listed as a national cultural relic protection unit.
In the history of China, there are many cases in which princesses or imperial daughters married the king of Tibet. During the period of Emperor Taizong, Princess Wencheng married Tubo far away, which was a model of this kind of marriage. Under her influence, the friendship between the Chinese and Tibetan peoples has developed greatly, so it is not an exaggeration to call Princess Wencheng the most successful female diplomat.

After life settled down, the Han musicians brought by Princess Wencheng began to perform their duties. They worked very hard to play the most popular music in Tang Palace for Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng. The music is soothing and beautiful, so that Songzan Ganbu seems to smell the fairy sound. He was full of praise for musicians and music, and selected a group of boys and girls with smart qualifications to learn from Han musicians, so that Han music gradually spread throughout Tubo and flowed into the hearts of Tubo people.
Later, the scribes also began to work. They helped to sort out the relevant documents of Tubo, recorded the important conversations between Songzan and ministers, and made Tubo politics go out of the primitive and move towards normalization. While Songzan Gambu was delighted, he ordered the ministers and nobles to sincerely worship the scribes as teachers, learn Chinese culture and study the poetry books they brought. Then, a group of aristocratic children traveled thousands of miles to Chang 'an, entered the countries of the Tang Dynasty, studied poetry and books, and brought the Han culture back to Tubo. Agricultural technicians don't preach anything. They just sow the grain seeds brought from the central plains on the fertile soil of the plateau, and then carefully irrigate, fertilize and weed. In the harvest season, the robust and amazing high yield of crops made the Tubo people stare big eyes. At that time, Tubo people also planted some crops such as highland barley and buckwheat, but due to poor management, they often only planted them, so the yield was extremely low. They have to admire the superb planting techniques of Han agricultural technicians. Inspired by Songzan Gambu and Princess Wencheng, agricultural technicians began to teach agricultural technology to Tubo people in a planned way, so that they could harvest a lot of food while nomadic. Especially after the technology of planting mulberry and raising silkworms was passed on to them, Tubo gradually got homemade silks with soft luster and rich colors, which greatly beautified the life of Tubo people and made them overjoyed. They are all very grateful for the benefits that Princess Wencheng brought to them after she entered Tubo.
At that time, Buddhism prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, but there was no Buddhism in Tibet. Princess Wencheng is a devout Buddhist. She took pagodas, scriptures and Buddha statues into Tibet and decided to build a temple to preach Buddha. She asked goats to fill the pond and built Jokhang Temple. After the Jokhang Temple was completed, Princess Wencheng and Songzan Gambu personally planted willows outside the temple gate, which became the famous "Liu Tang" in later generations. The famous "Nephew and Uncle Alliance Monument", also known as "Evergreen Alliance Monument", stands next to Liu Tang. At present, a statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the center of the Jokhang Temple Hall was also invited by Princess Wencheng from Chang 'an. In the attached halls on both sides of the main hall, there are statues of Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng, which are very beautiful and lifelike. It's just that there are too many people who donate money from Imbusch, and a pimple has grown on their faces.
Later, Princess Wencheng built the Xiao Zhao Temple. Since then, Buddhism has spread slowly in Tibet. Princess Wencheng also named the mountains around Lhasa after Miaolian, Baoshan, Youshi Conch, King Kong, Shengli Building, Aquarius and Goldfish, which have been in use ever since.
On the one hand, Princess Wencheng spread Buddhism and prayed for the Tibetans to eliminate disasters. At the same time, she also took out five grain seeds and rapeseed and taught people to plant them. Corn, potatoes, broad beans and rape can adapt to the plateau climate and grow well. Wheat, on the other hand, is constantly mutating and finally grows into highland barley that Tibetans like. Princess Wencheng also brought chariots, horses, mules, camels and related technical and medical works, which promoted the social progress of Tubo.
Songtsan Gambo likes Princess Wencheng very much. The Potala Palace specially built for the princess has 1000 palaces, which is magnificent. But it was later destroyed by lightning and war. /kloc-after two expansions in the 0/7th century, it became the present scale. The main building of Potala Palace 13 floor, with a height of117m, covers an area of more than 360,000 square meters, which is magnificent. There are a large number of murals with rich contents in Potala Palace, including the story of Garudongzan, the emissary of Emperor Taizong's Five Difficult Tubo Marriage, the difficulties and obstacles Princess Wencheng encountered all the way into Tibet, and the scene where she was warmly welcomed when she arrived in Lhasa. These murals have exquisite composition, vivid characters and bright colors. Behind the Tubo ruins of Potala Palace, there is also a room where Songzan Gambu meditates. The walls are displayed with colorful statues of Songzan Gambu, Princess Wencheng and Ludongzan.
After Songzan Gambu married Princess Wencheng, the relationship between the Central Plains and Tubo was extremely friendly. After more than 200 years, there were few wars, and envoys and businessmen exchanged frequently. Songzan Gambu highly praised the Central Plains culture. He took off his felt wool and put it on silk, and sent the children of Tubo nobles to Chang 'an to study Chinese studies. In the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of craftsmen were sent to Tubo to teach various skills.
In 649 AD, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, died. After Li Zhi, the new emperor, succeeded to the throne, he sent an envoy to China to offer condolences, and named Songzan Gambu as the Xu family and made him the king of Xihai County. Songzan Gambu accepted the official title of the Tang Dynasty gladly, and sent a letter to Stuart Sun Chang Wuji and others, saying, "The son of heaven has just ascended the throne, and if there are disloyal courtiers, he should send troops to conquer this country. At the same time, fifteen kinds of gold, silver and jewels are presented. Please put them in front of Taizong's coffin to express your deep condolences and memory. Tang Gaozong also carved his stone statue and placed it in front of the Zhaoling Tomb of Emperor Taizong to show his praise. Songzan Gambu's great talent and great achievements have unified Tibet, promoted the political, economic and cultural development of Tubo, strengthened the close relationship between Tibetan and Han people, and made outstanding contributions to the historical development of China, a unified multi-ethnic country. Princess Wencheng, who knows the book and is courteous, did not avoid difficulties and dangers and married Tubo far away, which made a historic contribution to promoting the economic and cultural exchanges between Tang and Tubo and enhancing the close, friendly and cooperative relations between the Chinese and Tibetan peoples.
