Sabao is the leader of the Zoroastrian religion.

Zoroastrianism, also known as fire Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism. In the ancient Persian Empire, Zoroastrianism was the state religion of the Persian Empire. At that time, the Persians called him Zoroastrianism.

In the distant years before the mighty Han Dynasty and the ancient Roman Empire, the ancient Persian Empire was the first universal empire in human history.

For any religion, its role is not in the conquest and expansion of tribes and empires, but in justice, domination, and peace. Zoroastrianism is no exception.

In the era of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Zoroastrianism has been inherited and evolved for thousands of years, and has become the most influential and widespread religion in the world in that era.

The origins of Zoroastrianism began with a man named Zoroaster. He was a prophet of the Aryans, and he was the first to reveal that the world was a battleground of merciless warfare between gods and demons. Based on this, to be born in the world is to fight against demons.

Zoroaster believed that the flame was a symbol of justice and truth, and that all people should be in awe and worship of it. Flames can dispel darkness, as well as various reptiles and worms such as scorpions, spiders, lizards, snakes, and ants. The flames can even rid tigers, wolves, and beasts, and keep humans out of harm's way.

Extending from the cult of fire, Zoroaster created a whole set of Zoroastrian teachings. He believed that the supreme god of the world was Ahura Mazda, the "god of light", and that he had a twin brother, the god of darkness, "Ahriman".

Zoroaster enshrined Ahura Mazda as the "only true creator" and it was Ahura Mazda who made people see the light, so he was often portrayed as the sun. However, the sun and moon are sometimes described as his eyes.

Zoroastrianism holds that Ahura Mazda is the supreme god, the omniscient and all-powerful creator of the universe, who has the virtues of light, life, and creation, and is the embodiment of heavenly rules, order, and truth.

Mazda created the material world as well as fire, the "infinite light", so Zoroastrians made it their sacred duty to worship fire.

Zoroastrianism believed that fire had the property of purifying all things, and Ahura Mazda could use fire to distinguish good from evil and give the fire of truth to his followers.

Ahura Mazda is the supreme deity, also known as Omazt. Ahura Mazda is the good god representing light in the dualism of good and evil, and he fought a long battle with the evil god Ahriman, who represented darkness, and finally won the victory.

Since the accession of Darius the Great of the Achaemenid dynasty of ancient Persia, he spared no effort to promote Zoroastrianism, and used the doctrine to unify the minds of the subjects of the empire, and continued the long-term prosperity and stability of the empire.

After the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great of Macedon, the Greek city-state of Macedonia, most of the Zoroastrian classics were burned in order to promote Greek gods and Greek culture.

Zoroastrianism thus began to spread to the East. It was probably introduced to China during the Wei and Jin dynasties and has continued ever since.

As close neighbors of the Persian Empire, the Sogdians, they converted to Zoroastrianism on the basis of their identification with Zoroastrian doctrine.

The Sogdians' talent lay in business. Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the gradual extinction of the Xiongnu, Yueshi, Wusun and other tribes, the Sogdians began to be active in the Asian hinterland of the entire Silk Road.

They built city-states, created centers of trade, traveled far and wide, and learned the languages of the world. They came into contact with different faiths from all over the world, and after the collision of ideas, they strengthened their belief in Zoroastrianism.

Li Yuan had just established the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, and An Xinggui, the Sogdian leader of Sabao in Liangzhou at the time, came to Chang'an alone and joined Li Yuan. He believed that when Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, he saw the light and the future.

If it was just one person attached, it was nothing to a new dynasty. An Xinggui handed over the family affairs to his younger brother An Xiuren, and the first thing An Xiuren did to take over the throne of Sabao was to cooperate with his elder brother An Xinggui to persuade Li Liang, who was the emperor in Liangzhou at that time, to join the Tang Dynasty.

The Sogdians were all Zoroastrian followers, and the Anxinggui brothers were important because they had the support of tens of thousands of people behind them.

Under the leadership of the two brothers, An Xinggui and An Xiuren, the Liangzhou regime was able to annex the Tang Dynasty in a peaceful manner. Li Yuan reciprocated the favor and gave the two brothers high-ranking officials and hereditary titles.

At this time, An Xinggui saw that the era of peace was coming, and he asked Emperor Li Yuan to build a Zoroastrian monastery in the city of Chang'an.

Li Yuan has always respected people's beliefs, and he readily agreed. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has opened the prelude to the tolerance of foreign religions, and the foundation of a great empire that embraces all things has since been laid.
