Speaking of Loulan, Bai Guangcheng became interested. Everything was like this. When it comes to topics he liked, he said more of these things.
Usually, Bai Guangcheng is not so many people with sluts, but now, he has started to say...
All he said was a lot of common knowledge about the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
Loulan, the ancient Western Regions country, was attached within three years of Yuan Feng in the Han Dynasty. The king lived in Guannicheng, and the ruins were located in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, west of Lop Nur, and on the southern road of Tongxidi in the Han Dynasty. Because this country lived between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu, it often held two ends, or killed Han envoys to block the passage.
In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Han Dynasty gained absolute military advantage over the Xiongnu. He sent envoy Fu Jiezi to kill King Gui of Loulan and appointed Wei Tuqi (the younger brother of the old prince An of the Loulan Kingdom) as the king, and the country's name was even more Shanshan.
Fu Jiezi was granted the title of marquis for his meritorious service.
During the Han Dynasty, Loulan, a country connected to Qiemo in the southwest, Jingjue, Kumi, Khotan, and Cheshi in the north, Yanqi in the northwest, Bailongdui in the east, Dunhuang in Dunhuang, and the key points of the Silk Road.
When Emperor Wu of Han first entered the Western Regions, the envoys traveled and passed through Loulan. Loulan repeatedly served as the eyes and ears of the Huns and attacked the envoys of the Western Han Dynasty.
In the third year of Yuanfeng, the Han Dynasty sent troops to attack Loulan and captured his king.
Loulan then surrendered to the Han Dynasty. But he surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and the Huns came again.
The Han army was not in good condition, so King Loulan sent his attendant Zi An to surrender to both sides.
The Xiongnu attendant Zi An Gui was established as King of Loulan. This Zi An then married Xiongnu and became a major concern of the Han Dynasty.
However, Zi'an had a younger brother named Wei Tuqi. He was a relative of the Han Dynasty and told the Han Dynasty the news.
In the fourth year of Emperor Zhao's Yuanfeng, the Han Dynasty sent Fu Jiezi to Loulan, assassinated Angui, and established Wei Tuqi as the king, changed the country's name to Shanshan, and moved the capital to Guannicheng. Later, the Han government often sent officials and soldiers to farm in the former land of Loulan City, from Yumen Pass to Loulan, and set up beacon tower pavilions along the way. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Former Liang Dynasty, Loulan City became the headquarters of the chief historian of the Western Regions.
Logically speaking, this Loulan is already done, so why has it suddenly become the center of the world and attracted countless archaeologists and tomb robbers to pursue it? The reason is very simple, that is... a sensation. There is really something good in this Loulan Kingdom!
How to say it? We have to start with foreigners. The Swedish sven Heding's expedition team came to the Rob Wasteland along the dry Peacock River left bed. When they crossed a desert, they found that their shovel was accidentally lost in the campsite last night. Heding had to ask his assistant to go back and search. The assistant quickly retrieved the shovel and even picked up a few wood carving fragments. Heding was extremely excited when he saw the fragments and decided to excavate the ruins. In early March 1901, Sven Heding began to excavate and found a stupa and three halls, as well as a wooden carving building component with Greek art and culture, Wuzhu coins, a letter of romance. Then they found many beacon towers in the southeast of the ruins, along with an ancient city buried by wind and sand on the west bank of Lop Nur, which is the ancient city of Loulan.
Loulan culture is the world's most cultural landscape. According to archaeologists, human activities in the Tarim River Basin have been around for more than 10,000 years. If the ancient city abandoned in the Takramakan Desert of the Tarim River is connected by a red line, you will be surprised to find that all ancient cities, including the Loulan Kingdom, suddenly disappeared in 415 AD.
When Zhang Qi heard this, he interrupted and said, "Professor Bai, I heard that the demise of the ancient Loulan Kingdom was caused by soil erosion. Is that true?"
"There is a relationship in this regard, but not absolutely."
Bai Guangcheng explained: "At that time, Loulan's national city was based on Lop Nur. Lop Nur was once the largest lake in our country. It can be said that it has abundant water and grass. It is such a place. Of course, now this Lop Nur has been done, which makes some people who don't know the truth think that Loulan State is because of water, and the damage to the environment caused by war to cause this country to disappear, but this is wrong. Because Lop Nur, it is straight
It was not until 1972 that it finally dried up. What does this mean? It means that at least, ah, at least, a few hundred years ago, the water plants here were absolutely abundant. Perhaps, the environment had changed a thousand years ago and would have an impact on the environment, but that kind of impact could not be said to be absolute. Besides, the city-states here were completely gone at once, and there was no reason, because the water source in a place made the entire Western Region desolate, don't you think?"
When Bai Guangcheng said this, Ke Yun came over.
Hua Baike and Ke Yun’s storytelling is the best thing, and Bai Guangcheng started to start, and he ran over and said.
"You know the Three Kingdoms!"
Several people nodded.
Ke Yun said: "During the Three Kingdoms, the battle was very chaotic, but at that time, there was a gap in the Western Regions. During the Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty established the Western Regions Protectorate Palace, and Emperor Wu fought against the Huns. Part of the reason was to make the Silk Road in the Western Regions. So, what happened in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and during the Three Kingdoms? There was no movement at all in the Western Regions?"
Bai Guangcheng said: "This is mainly because a major disaster occurred in the Western Regions at that time."
Ke Yun said: "This disaster seems to be just a Loulan, but we have reason to believe that in the late Han Dynasty, the Silk Road also had a certain impact on the promotion of our three kingdoms."
Bai Guangcheng said: "Before the Three Kingdoms, our country was already developing this Silk Road. At that time, there were many Rome, called Daqin, and came to the Han Dynasty. Not only were the Romans, but also many Buddhism. Ah, they were driven away by the local Brahmin forces and had to, ah, this left their hometown and the eastward spread of Buddhism was not what Buddhists wanted, including the Anqing and An Shigao of the Han Dynasty. He was the prince of Xiguo, and he was also the prince who could not take refuge and ran to the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that at that time, our Han Dynasty had never let go of the Silk Road. It was just that in that year, there was a problem."
Ke Yun said: "At the end of the Three Kingdoms, a lot of things happened in the Han Dynasty. The annexation of land by the aristocratic families was a problem. Ah, the Yellow Turban Uprising was only one of the reasons. Another point is that something happened in the Western Regions. The Han Dynasty could not export a large amount of silk, and the Han Dynasty's fiscal revenue was seriously affected. Therefore, the government could not support it, which led to the troubled times. Otherwise, with the strength of the Han government at that time, there would be more support."
Bai Guangcheng said: "What is the problem that comes from the Western Regions?"
Ke Yun said: "This is the purpose of our trip this time."
Ma Pengfei and Cheng Qianli also ran over. These two boys are the leading figures among the boys.
Ma Pengfei said: "Professor, tell us about the beauty of Loulan!"
Cheng Qianli said: "Yes, yes, I heard that the beauty of Loulan is quite beautiful."
Bai Guangcheng said: "You are interested in women. The Loulan beauty is not the real Loulan beauty, but the beautiful women in Loulan who were located in Loulan very early. They are people from 3,800 years ago. Ah, they are different from Loulan more than a thousand years ago."
The so-called beauty of Loulan refers to the female corpse found in Loulan. There are also many, seven.
In 1927, Sven Heding organized a northwest China-Swissland expedition to Loulan again. Expedition member Bergman found a large number of Loulan antiquities in a tributary of the Peacock River and unearthed a female mummy. Because of her luxurious clothes, she was called the "Queen of Loulan".
After Svenheding discovered the ancient city in the early 19th century, it attracted great attention from the world, and a large number of archaeologists, geography and geologists followed one after another. They were: In 1905, the Huntington Expedition of Metis.
In 1906, the Stein Expedition Team in Britain.
From 1908 to 1909, Otani Mitsui Chao Expedition Team in Japan.
From 1910 to 1911, Otani Mitsuri and Ku Ruichao's second expedition team were held in Japan.
But unfortunately...
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese Republican Party did not conduct research and development, but instead carried out two bomb plans.
They used Lop Nur for nuclear weapons experiments and conducted dozens of times.
So, what's going on with the so-called beauty in Loulan?
A cemetery was found in the Tiban River Delta in the lower reaches of the Peacock River. A middle-aged female mummy was unearthed from the tomb, with her skin and nails intact.
She has a thin face, pointed nose, deep concave eye sockets, and brown hair shawl.
She was wrapped in a piece of sheepskin, a wool-woven blanket, and a sharpened branch on her chest. She wrapped a piece of sheepskin on her lower body. She wore a pair of fur shoes on her feet, a felt hat on her head, and two geese feathers were inserted into her hat. She was called the "Beauty of Loulan" by the world.
After using the sheepskin and residual skin on her body for carbon 14 identification, it was shown that it was an ancient corpse dating from 3,800 years ago.
who is she?
Why is it in this deserted and crowded place?
This has become a mystery in the archaeological world.
Bai Guangcheng said: "In 1979, that year, our country conducted a scientific investigation in Loulan. This operation was successful. Ah, we found a tomb with six burials from Loulan. There was also a beauty in Loulan, but it was not the corpse found by Sven Heding. The corpse was a beautiful woman, ah, a nobleman. What we found was a very poor female corpse. This female corpse, her hair was brown and yellow, it was inferred that she was blonde and a blond beauty during her lifetime, haha... There were the dead lice, bed bugs, and her shoes, which were also repaired and repaired. It can be seen that she was not very rich. Around her, the few burials, ah, five, were from Westerners, and one from the East."
...
Loulan has many stories.
In addition to the beauties in Loulan, there is also the reason for the demise of the country of Loulan.
There are many speculations about the reasons, but none of them can be used loudly.
That is, there is a lack of sufficient evidence.
More than a thousand years later, it was really not that easy to find the reason for the demise of Loulan.
Especially everything in the past is now buried under the sand.
If you are lucky, you can find some cultural relics, but most of them are still under the sand.
If you want to conduct a scientific investigation, you must not only face the harsh natural environment, but also be careful of the omnipresent tomb robbers.
As he was talking, Bai Guangcheng, Ke Yun, and Huadingbang who later ran over, three people rushed over.
Bai Guangcheng still insisted. He believed that soil erosion was not the real reason for the demise of Loulan. He insisted that it was a large-scale plague that swept the entire northwest grassland.
Ke Yun believed that, although, in ancient times, it might, indeed, and very likely, there was such a plague.
But it's just a plague, it's just a plague.
It is not enough to destroy the entire Northwest.
It is impossible for Loulan to be ruined by this matter.
Ke Yun believed that it was a disaster for war, a terrifying and terrifying war that caused Loulan to collapse.
However, Ke Yun could not determine which force it could destroy Loulan.
According to the information, when Loulan Country was weak, there was still about one to three thousand military forces.
This military power is not small anymore.
In that era when small countries in the Western Regions were close to each other, some of a small country had only a dozen or dozens of soldiers.
And Loulan has 3,000 troops, at the most, the military power of 5,000 to nearly 10,000 was already amazing.
In addition, there is Huadingbang.
Hua Dingbang's argument was not considered a plague or war, but a natural mutation.
For example, Huadingbang proposed that the changes in Lop Nur and the current Lop Nur are not the real place of Lop Nur in the past, but that after an earthquake or the movement of the earth's crust, the Lop Nur changed, especially the diverting of the riverside.
But then, Bai Guangcheng opposed it again. He proposed that according to the "Shui Jing Zhu", after the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the diverting of Zhubin River in the middle reaches of the Tarim River at that time, Loulan suffered severe water shortage. Soler from Dunhuang led a thousand soldiers to Loulan and summoned 3,000 soldiers from Shanshan, Yanqi and Kucha. He crossed the riverside and diverted water into Loulan day and night to alleviate the water shortage of Loulan.
In other words, the problem of water source cannot cause the sudden death of Loulan. Note that Loulan suddenly disappeared, just like the damn Mayans, it suddenly disappeared. This is the key point. A debate has made everyone learn some of the knowledge of Loulan...
