Netizens are very interested in this ancient country, partly because of a tomb-robbing novel, Ghost Blowing Lights. I really haven't read this novel, and I don't know whether the queen in The King of a Country is described as an alien with three eyes.
In fact, there are few records about this ancient country in the history books, so we can only extract them bit by bit for reference.
In the Han dynasty, there was a record of a perfect country in the history books, and it was described in the biography of the Western Regions of Hanshu:
From the records in Hanshu, we can know that in the Western Han Dynasty, the perfect country was actually a very small city-state, with a total population of only 480 households, with more than 3,360 nationals and 500 troops. This scale is smaller than many of our villages now. There are more than 3600 people in our village now.
In the Tang Dynasty, there were records about Guo Jingguo, as described in the New Tang Book:
This kind of record is much simpler than that of the Han Dynasty.
Master Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, crossed this vast desert and went to the western regions to learn from the scriptures. The master mentioned in his "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty":
That is to say, when master Xuanzang's steps passed by here, this ancient country, which had been laughing and laughing, had disappeared into the long river of history, leaving only a wasteland.
So, how did the perfect country fall? There are several sayings:
1. Shanshan annexation
Shanshan is actually Loulan, and Wang Changling has a poem:
Why do you want to "break through"
Where is Loulan? It can be seen that this Loulan is very aggressive, and it is entirely possible if it is annexed by the state.
2. Changes in the Silk Road
Another view is that the changes in the Silk Road led to the decline of the country.
Because in the Han Dynasty, Shiquan was the only place on the Silk Road. Many business travelers stay here to get supplies, which promotes the prosperity here.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Silk Road moved northward and passed through Gao Changguo (that is, Turpan), where it was safer and merchants no longer passed through the basin. The country was isolated from the rest of the world, and eventually the population moved out and withered, and the country went to ruin.
3. Soapy's extinction
This view holds that there is a nomadic people-Supi people living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau outside the snow-capped mountains. They often crossed the snow-capped mountains and deserts and plundered the country, which led to the collapse of the country. This Su Pi family is recorded in the New Tang Book:
This statement is also very reasonable, because it is not only recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty, but also some Lu bamboo slips and bamboo slips have been unearthed in the ruins of the ancient city of Niya today. According to bamboo slips, a Supi often harassed Guo Jing countries. This Supis is probably the kingdom of Supis.
This Supi country is probably the legendary girl country. In master Xuanzang's "Datang Xi Yu Ji", there is such a description:
In Sui Shu, the supremacy of women's rights in this country is also recorded:
It's amazing that these women are so cruel to such coquettish operations.
Under the constant molestation and infringement of the daughter country, the essence disappeared.
In other words, there is no exquisite queen in history, but there must be Queen Supi.
Let's talk about some unearthed cultural relics.
The best is this: Five Stars Out of the East and China Brocade?
"Historical Records of the Heavenly Palace" records: "Five stars go out of the East to benefit China";
When the five stars appear in the east, it means that the five planets of gold, wood, water, fire and earth appear in the eastern night sky at the same time. This is called "five-star arrangement", which is a sign of good luck.
"Zhao Han Guo Chongchuan" recorded an order sent to Zhao Chongguo by Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty:
Another piece of brocade has the words "please Nanqiang". Together, these two tapestries are "Five Stars Coming out of the East will benefit China and win the Southern Qiang". Xuan Di, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, ordered General Zhao Chongguo to make a quick decision according to the astronomical phenomena of "five-star renju".
Today, the national flag of our great motherland is a five-star red flag. "The five stars in the East will benefit China" is indeed an auspicious sign, and we can't help sighing that the prosperous motherland can still receive the distant blessing from two thousand years ago.
Unearthed wooden door, beautifully carved:
Let's take a look at the following quilt, "Long live the princes and their descendants":
"The world is extremely rich, suitable for both parents to carry on the family line";
This may be a gift from the Central Plains to the country.
Some clothes were unearthed in a couple's grave. The coat is a robe with a wide robe and narrow sleeves.
It seems that at that time, the exchanges between the ten countries and the Central Plains were still very frequent. The Han people adjacent to them are so good at recording, leaving footprints of this beautiful small country in history, writing them in books and showing their past charm to future generations.
The Niya River still flows quietly, and this ancient country that disappeared in the dust of history has become a beautiful legend. ...
