2. In the Han Dynasty, the opening of the Maritime Silk Road brought great convenience to the trade exchanges between China and overseas countries. Through the Silk Road, we brought porcelain, silk and tea to western countries, and merchants from Central Asia and West Asia also brought us their specialties.
3. Business exchange is mainly personnel exchange. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, there was an endless stream of foreign friends, and many settled in China. Among them, the prince of the kingdom of interest came to China, settled down, changed his surname to "An", and flourished in China.
The interested country is located in Iran in the west of Asia, just at the midpoint of the Silk Road. Rome and Dahan are located on its east and west sides, which provided strong support for the development of the Silk Road. Thanks to the efforts of others, China's silk was exported to Rome and sought after by the Roman nobles. Not only did they earn a lot of money, but the reputation of China silk spread even louder.
5. With the help of overseas trade, the domestic economic development of interest countries is on the rise, so they have always maintained good relations with China.
According to the records of historians, there are frequent exchanges between the two countries. In 1 15 BC, the envoys of the Han Dynasty arrived in Xi 'an, and Xi Wang directly sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to see them off. In 87 AD, the King of Xi 'an sent messengers to see Han with many rare treasures. Under the personal demonstration of national leaders, the exchanges between countries have become increasingly frequent, and many businessmen from interested countries came to settle in the Han Dynasty.
7. As mentioned in the history books, the prince of an interest country decided to become a monk and came to Luoyang, the imperial city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, to spread Buddhism because he didn't want to inherit the throne. After coming to the Han Dynasty, the Prince changed his name to An Qing, and many followers and guards who followed him also stayed in China, taking "An" as the surname, which was handed down from generation to generation.
8. Since then, An's surname has become the main surname of the rest of Chinese in China. In the social development, their footprints have spread over more than half of China, and there are many families. However, most of them respect An Qing as their ancestors and serve An Qing as their positive source.
