"Xijing Miscellaneous Records" is a book that records the current affairs of Chang'an City in the Han Dynasty, which was written by Ge Hong, a native of the Jin Dynasty, and can also be said to be compiled and compiled. Ge Hong was a Taoist, a famous doctor, or an alchemy master, and the scholars of the time were keen on this kind of thing.

Today, Chinese people take European and American things as luxury goods, and Western Regions goods were popular during the Han Dynasty. Xi'an held an important conference on the Silk Road, and I found out the record of "alfalfa, peach brocade, and poison country" from the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" as a talking point. Here's what you need to do:

"The rose tree grows on its own, and there are many alfalfa trees under the tree. Alfalfa is a Huaifeng, when people or called the light wind, the wind in the middle, often Xiao Xiaoran, the sun shines on its flowers, there is brilliance, so the name alfalfa is the wind. Maoling people call it a branch grass. (Xijing Miscellaneous)

Alfalfa was brought back from Dawan when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, and it was a rare plant of that year. "Huaifeng, Guangfeng, and Grass", how pitiful and vivid these titles are. Maoling was the hiding place of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty a hundred years later, in the north of Chang'an. Leyou Garden is in the south of Chang'an, is the royal garden built by Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, after the landslide of Emperor Xuan, he was also buried in it, called Du Ling.

"Huo Guang's wife left twenty-four pieces of peach brocade in Yanpu and twenty-five pieces of scattered flowers. (Xijing Miscellaneous)

The peach is the grape, which was also introduced from the Western Regions. In the "Historical Records", Sima Qian wrote it as "Pu Tao". Huo Guang is Huo Quai's younger brother and an important minister of the Han Dynasty. Chun Yuyan was Empress Xu's female medical officer. Why did the wife of the important minister of the auxiliary state send the splendid decoration of expensive grapes to the female medical officer, there is a shocking bloody scene hidden in it. Empress Xu is the main palace of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, Huo Guang's wife intends to let her youngest daughter Chengjun replace her, bribing Chun Yuyan, in addition to the brocade silk jewelry, there are "millions of money, one hundred taels of gold, for the first house, slaves and maids are innumerable". Queen Xu was poisoned and died, and Huo Guang's youngest daughter entered the palace as she wished, but Cheng Yusi was also defeated by Si, and after the incident was revealed, Huo's family was wiped out.

"Emperor Xuan was taken into the county prison, and he still wore Shi Liangdi's graceful silk rope on his arm, and he was tied to a poisonous national treasure mirror, as big as eight baht coins. (Xijing Miscellaneous)

The poison country is the transliterated name of ancient India, also known as Tianzhu. The record in the "Historical Records" is, "Its people take elephants to fight, and its country is near the great water", "Now the poisonous country lives thousands of miles southeast of Daxia, and there are Shu things". Eight baht money, the name of the Qin currency, the Han attack Qin system. Baht, the unit of measurement, one catty sixteen taels, one tael twenty-four baht.

The Silk Road is a trade route, a diplomatic route, and a livelihood route for powerful countries. **Trade drives private trade, and national exchanges stimulate private exchanges. The starting point of the Silk Road is politics, but the foothold is at the level of people's livelihood. Nowadays, there are some things that start with politics and end up with politics. This kind of thing, the common people don't play with **.

The Silk Road is a peaceful road of goodwill with people. Silk, porcelain, tea, grapes, alfalfa, and no aircraft cannons came and went. Today, there is the slogan of "peaceful rise", there is no need to say this, "people do not offend me, I do not offend others" is the survival philosophy of China's ancestors. What does the powerful United States sell to the world today? In addition to airplanes, it also sells democracy, but if you don't buy my democracy, I will subvert you, and Iraq is a concrete example. They talk about democracy, but the means they use are contrary to democracy.

China and the United States, initially an ideological battle, the United States wants to eliminate communism in the world. Now it is a battle for currency and trade, but it is still fundamentally an ideological battle, but the current excitement has obscured this root. A strong culture is the foundation of a strong country, and a country's ideology cannot prevail, and it is unlikely that the dream of a great power will be realized. Japan can be used as a reference, and no matter how great it is economically, it has to run behind the ass of other countries.
