The distinction between these three theories lies in the difference in the observation benchmark.

But fundamentally, Xuanye restores the essence of Tianyu.

If we don't set any benchmark for observation, the sky will be like eternal night.

There is vitality in the eternal night, and the vitality stops into stars.

The sun, moon and stars are all made of vitality, and their brilliance is announced in the suspended and eternal night, so it is called Xuanye.

The kunyu we have set up is also one of the vast stars.

Xuanye is the ultimate doctrine used to understand the laws of the movement of the Heavenly Universe's Yuan Qi.

And if we observe the eternal night of the sky with Kunyu as the benchmark, then Kunyu will be like an egg hanging in the air, enveloped in vitality.

The night is like a curtain, and the stars are cast on it, which is the sky.

Hun Tian is a theory based on which Kunyu is the center to observe the law of star change.

The so-called muddy image is a tool for observing the sky made on the basis of this theory.

The small ball in the center of the armillary image represents Kunyu, and the warp and weft become the armillary sky.

But if we pull the observation target back to the table, it will be measured visually within the field of vision of you and me.

At this time, the heavens are infinite, and the earth is infinite.

The ground line is nearly flat, the moment is square, and the ground is seen in a square circle. This is a statement that covers the sky.

This statement is not only easier for us to accept and understand, but it is also our direct perception, so it is the most widely spread. ”

As he spoke, he looked at everyone's expressions.

Qingyun and the others were naturally ignorant and confused.

Even the prodigy Zu Ying was thoughtful, frowning, as if she didn't fully understand.

But Xin Dufang's eyes lit up when he heard it, and it seemed that every word and every word struck the heavenly spirit and opened a brain hole.

The more he listened, the more excited he became, and as soon as his voice fell, he stood up and applauded.

The little prince was calm, there was no color in his eyes, and he couldn't tell whether he was appreciating or disapproving of his words, but when he saw that Xin Dufang echoed, he asked,

"Do you have any gains?"

Xin Dufang nodded like pounding garlic,

"Little prince, Du Fang seems to understand a little.

The image that the prince wants, about the end of the year, can make a prototype. ”

"What?"

He was so shocked that his eyes almost came out of the frame.

This kid wants to create his own image through such a general description?

But after thinking about it again, this kid has already obtained the essence when he described the use of the heavens to measure the sky, and he is not a blank sheet of paper for astronomical measurements, no, it should be said that he is already a master in the world.

What he lacks at this time is probably just a pre-emptive mentor to answer questions, right?

So he was relieved, so he gathered his mind and arched his hand,

"Actually, if the little prince is interested in this, I can take advantage of the disturbance in the past few days to draw a simple picture of the muddy image.

However, in exchange, I hope that the little prince can also do me a favor. ”

"Oh?"

The little prince was overjoyed when he heard that he could draw a muddy drawing.

"What does Mr. Jing Shuo need, though. Lonely will do his best. ”

"I need to find some colorless gypsum crystals, as long as the eggs are the right size."

The little prince couldn't help but be curious about its use.

He didn't hide it, so he briefly introduced the device he wanted to make for long-range aiming, but it still lacked some hard materials with high transparency and easy to shape or polish.

"Oh, there is no colorless gypsum crystal in the lonely house right now.

But if you just need some transparent materials with moderate hardness and suitable for sanding, I have some, and I don't know if they are suitable. ”

The little prince called his subordinates and gave a few orders. After a while, someone held a brocade box.

The little prince opened the brocade box and took out a few transparent cups of unknown texture from it.

The cups were exquisitely crafted, swaying in the candlelight, and although they had a touch of verdant, they were extremely transparent, not much better than crystal.

Yu Zhi took one of them, took a dagger and lightly scratched the edge,

I feel that the hardness is just right, it is not easy to deform, and it can be pondered, and if it can be heated and shaped, it will be even more perfect.

couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Little prince, what kind of strange thing is this?" It seems that the texture of glass, the clarity of crystal, has never been seen before. ”

"Oh, this is the Poli luminous cup, produced in the western country of Poli.

The Western Regions used this cup to appreciate grape wine, but it is not a treasure, but the same material is very rare in the Central Plains. ”

"Po Li Guo? It's lonely and unheard. ”

"There is a department in the Western Regions called a high car.

The old country of Gaoche is outside the Green Ridge, in the west of the sea, on the bank of the high flail mountain.

In addition to the high flail rope, there is also a begging country, which is from the Western Qin royal family.

In the west of the begging rook, there is a country of Po Li, 30,000 miles to the generation, in the north of the Tiaozhi, the east of Daqin, and the begging high car is good.

This set of cups is a tribute to the Gaoche people. ”

Talking and talking, everyone gets what they need, and this banquet can be described as a joy for all.

By the time everyone was in the mood, it was already late at night.

The steward took the four of them back to their residence, and only Qingyun was silent all the way.

Seeing it in his eyes, when the steward went, he said with concern,

"Fifth brother Mo doesn't have anything on his mind?"

Qingyun sighed softly,

"In the past few days, I have seen several Wei kings.

The eldest brother is thin and cloudy, so he won't talk about it.

The King of Anfeng in front of him is also wise and decisive, and it is said that in the Yuan clan, there are at least two little sons who are not under him.

Even the Guangling Wang Yuanyu and the prince Yuansui who I saw yesterday, although they are not dragons and phoenixes, they can also be called Qiji, and they have their own arrogance. ”

Yu Zhi looked at Qingyun quietly and didn't interject, as if he already knew what Qingyun was thinking.

But he didn't want to say it, because what Qingyun needed now was to confide.

He suddenly broke into the vast rivers and lakes from a small closed world, and it was inevitable that he would feel the impact of ideas and encounter confusion about the road ahead.

He needs to talk and think in order to overcome his demons and find his own path.

"Most of the current Wei royal family are not short-sighted, and the current Wei king is bent on recovering the Han rites, which is not a bad thing for the Li people in Jiangbei.

Moreover, even if King Wei is assassinated, with the Yuan clan having a lot of talents at this time, he will still not fall.

But Xianbei's hatred and defense against the Central Plains people will be deeper, and it is meaningless to do so.

Today, I heard everyone at the banquet talking about the civil and military affairs of the little prince's father's Tuoba Meng, and I thought of the eldest brother mentioning the heroic deeds of his father Tuoba Zhong Kui, I'm afraid that eighteen years ago, it was the same situation, right? ”

Qingyun walked to the window, held the window sill, looked up at the sky and the moon, his eyes reflected the starlight,

"Why did my father make a move?

Did he not see through this layer, or was there something else? ”

Yu Zhi still didn't answer.

He can't answer these questions, and he shouldn't answer them.

Maybe Qingyun many years later will give himself an answer, and Qingyun at that time will no longer be the confused teenager who sighs today.

Qingyun was silent when he saw it, but he didn't mind, knowing that he was too hypocritical.

So it turned to a more down-to-earth topic,

"The three boys at the table today—

King Anfeng, your ancestor Ying, and that Xin Dufang.

They were all about the same age, three or four years younger than me, but they all looked more serious than me. ”

This time there was no silence, he knew that Qingyun's emotions had almost been vented, so he suddenly responded,

"That's different. Fifth brother, I feel that your future achievements will be above the three of them. ”

"Oh? Are you coaxing me? ”

"No, no, no.

Zu Ying, this kid, is amazing, but it won't be great.

Xindu Fang, it's not a big deal, but it's going to be great.

King Anfeng is naturally great, and he will be great, but it's a pity that he was born in the royal family, and it may not end well.

To borrow the analogy you just made, the three of them are all talented people, but they can't compare to your destiny of the Nine Dragons Pillar. ”

Qingyun replied angrily, "Second brother, why did you use Mr. Huayang's metaphysics to coax people again?" ”

"Alas~ This is not metaphysics, knowing people and looking forward to qi is true knowledge, but it is not a word measurement."

"Why isn't Wangqi the same face?"

In fact, he was deliberately luring Qingyun into a mouth, and Qingyun also volunteered.

The two young people are making a fuss, what troubles can't be shaken off?

It is true that he does not believe in fate, but his vision of people has always been very accurate.

He said that Zu Ying was great, which meant that the child was very great under the traditional concept of Taoism, but he lacked the sense of smell and ability to promote the development of Taoism.

Therefore, if it is placed in a higher dimension, such a talent is not a big deal.

Xin Dufang is different, his future achievements may not be comparable to Mr. Huayang and his father, but he will definitely leave his footprints in unknown fields.

King An Feng is naturally a wonderful person, he does not reject the old and new concepts, and will definitely become a driving figure in the development of Taoism.

It's just a pity, it's just a pity, how many princes in history can really avoid those intrigues, open and secret fights?

And Qingyun, although he is simple and not deeply involved in the world, he has the nature to think twice.

Whether it is the dispute between sects, the distinction between Huayu, or the revenge of killing his father, although he will inevitably be swept into the vortex of fate, although he has an innate position, he will personally understand and think before making any decision.

With such an attitude towards the world, why can't it be a big deal?

The moon sets and the sun rises, the sun rises and the moon sets, and the golden characters on the plaque are bright and dark, dark and bright, always so silent and serene.

But the palace behind the golden plaque is not as peaceful and beautiful as it seems.

Gu Caiting and Yin Se are idle temperaments, and they wanted to go out for a walk, but they were euphemistically persuaded by the people in the house to come back.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he lightly warned the second daughter not to forget her identity as a suspect.

They are still prisoners, but in a more decent prison.

But there is no shortage of princely eyeliner here, nor is there a lack of masters who can quickly subdue them, and all friendly appearances need to be based on their self-knowledge.

So the second daughter could only enjoy the flowers in this mansion, and she explained the hand-drawn drawings to Xin Dufang and the little prince casually.

Qingyun, on the other hand, held the ancestral codex and read it with relish.

In the codex, Qing Ke first briefly stated the general trend of the world, saying that the king of Zhou canonized the princes Yingbai, and so far the melee has been fighting, and only seven kingdoms are left, and they check and balance each other, and gradually become a balance of power.

However, Ying Qin rebelled and chased Zhao Wang Jia from the dynasty, instantly breaking the balance of power.

This Ying Qin Zhi was the first to come out of Boyi, and Boyi was just a courtier of the Xia Hou clan, and he was punished by Qi.

The Ying people had no imperial blood, and in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, they were only small Fang countries outside Tongguan, and the knighthood of the imperial court was only to calm their hearts to supervise Xirong.

Ying Qin's entry into the customs invaded the Zhou soil, with the implication of winning the championship.

Such bad deeds disrupted the discipline of princes and princes, rebelled against the humility of Huayi, insulted the bloodline of the five emperors, and caused the anger of the people.

Qingke's lurking Weiguo was originally a small country that survived between the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Qi.

Now that Zhao Guo has almost died, and only one county remains, Wei Guo has been pushed to the front line all of a sudden.

And the Yan State also took advantage of Zhao's loss of power to expand southward. The Qin general Fan Yu's lonely army went too deep and was folded by the Zhao general Li Mu and surrendered to the Yan State.

Yan Feng is in the governor, to consolidate the east of the river, for the south of the Yan country, and the forces arrived in Weiqi.

Although the power of the defense of the country was weak, it was a major exporter of talents during the Warring States period.

The outstanding talents cultivated in the past will be poached by other great powers, which made King Wei pay special attention to loyalty at that time, and employ people not to promote meritocracy.

It is difficult for a newcomer like Qingke to break into the top level.

At this time, Tian Guang, one of the five surnamed sacrificial wines outside the Tan Palace, came to the door and wanted to give Qing Ke a difficult task.

Tian Guang was originally undercover in the Yan Kingdom, and was already a close minister of Prince Dan, and successfully provoked Prince Yan to have the idea of confronting King Qin.

Yan has always been the biggest enemy of Qi, and Qin was the common threat of the world at that time, and the battle between Yan and Qin was the most favorable situation for Qi.

If someone assassinates the King of Qin in the name of Yan Envoy, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, Qi will be the winner.

It's just that Tian Guang is old, and the preparation period of the Assassin Qin plan is long, so he needs to choose another vitality to complete the task.

Tian Guang originally wanted to recommend Gao Yuanli, who came to Yanguo to replace him.

But when he took refuge in Prince Yan, he borrowed the identity of a nobleman who lost power in Gongdou, and if he revealed that he was not at peace in Yan and had a foundation, he would be suspicious.

So he simply recommended a foreign swordsman, and casually said that it was after the old one, but he didn't say it.

At that time, among the seven sons of the new generation of Tan Palace, Gai Nie was originally in the Qin State and was to be used as a hidden stake;

Lu Feige has always been uncertain and can be used as a live chess support;

There is also the inconvenience of Gao gradually leaving who was exposed prematurely in Yan Kingdom, and these three people have been eliminated by Tian Guang first.

Chen Cheng is in Chu, and the road is far away;

Cui Bang has formed a large force in the local area, which is suitable to become a local armed force of the Ming Pile Organization;

And Yu Qiu's family is already in a high position in the Zhao State, and is urging the alliance with Wei to resist Qin.

After all, Qing Ke, who is undercover in a small country at the bottom, is the most suitable candidate.

Qing Ke weighed the pros and cons and agreed to the matter.

Because the Tian clan and the Qing clan are all related to the Qi state, in order to leave no trace, Qing Ke was renamed Jing Ke.

Jing is surnamed Chu, Chu and Qi Qin are not in the right eye, which is easier for Prince Yan to accept.

Tian Guang was very happy to see Zhun Xin'er, in order to show that he was not afraid of death and dumped Qingke, but also to stimulate Qingke's fighting spirit to sacrifice his life, he actually committed suicide to Mingzhi.

Qing Ke endured his grief, took Tian Guang's head, and easily won the trust of Prince Dan with his prepared rhetoric, provoking Prince Dan to behead Fan Yuzhi, the general of Qin, and weakening the influence of Yan in the south.

In this way, although the action has not yet begun, it has already squeezed the maximum benefits for the Qi country, so as to live up to the enthusiasm of Tian Sai Wine.

Prince Dan drew a map of Yan as a bait, and ordered Qingke to pretend to make peace with the King of Qin as a Yan envoy, and sent Qin Wuyang as a deputy envoy, named Auxiliary, but in fact, he left a line of his own eyeliner.

Gao gradually left to send Qingke to Yishui, and when he saw Qin Wuyang on his side, he called him a friend and sang to see him off. Secretly, they infiltrated the Qin State together according to the plan.

Qing Ke and his entourage arrived in the Qin State, but because they had eyes and ears around them, they did not contact Gai Nie first.

At the same time, he did not reveal his identity as an envoy of the Yan State, but began to investigate the people's situation everywhere and understand the customs of the Qin people in order to formulate an effective assassination plan.

Qin is in the Jingwei River basin and has been plagued by floods.

(Author's case: Flooding in ancient times was far worse than it is now, a climate problem left over from the last subglacial period.) ）

A large number of strong men and resources have been used in water conservancy projects, affecting military and economic development.

At that time, the Feng family, who was in charge of water control, was in charge of the country's important affairs, and its power was naturally rising.

King Qin Zheng named Feng Yi, the patriarch of the Feng clan, as the river uncle, and sealed all the thousands of miles of land from the confluence of Jingwei to the west bank of the Yellow River to the Feng family, that is, the land of Zuo Feng Yi of the later Sanfu.

He Boyi is not a layman who does face-saving projects, he pays more attention to the people's livelihood.

Before building embankments and dredging rivers, we also pay attention to the rescue and resettlement of the victims.

It was difficult for him to take care of these hundreds of miles of rivers alone, so he sent his four sons Feng Xun, Feng Xiu, Feng Chi, and Feng Li to the front line.

When the Hebo Banner arrives, the victims have a way to live.

So the people of Guanzhong respected the Feng family as gods, and regardless of the rules, they called his four sons Hebo.

Of course, it is a felony to take a private title, and this title has been skillfully modified by the people, and it is only called Xunbo, Xiubo, Chibo, and Libo.

On this day, Qingke came to the suburbs of Xianyang, which was the flood area in charge of Hebo's youngest son, Li Bo.

coincided with the heavy rain and the river overflowed the embankment, and Qing Ke was also at a loss under the power of the sky, so he could only find nearby villages and local villagers to act together to survive the disaster.

The people of this village are all from the same tribe, and they are tall and fair-skinned.

The head man called himself the Qifu clan and was organizing the evacuation of the villagers at this time.

At this time, another group of people rushed to help, and it was Li Bo who led the way.

When the villagers saw it, they were very excited, running and shouting, Li Bo is here, Li Bo is here!

There were also two girls in Liber's team.

After a few words of greeting, everyone knew that it was He Libo's sister Yi Ji and her maidservant Li Mai who came with him.

(Author's case: As we said before, before the Qin Dynasty, women were called surnames, and surnames were placed later.) Feng's surname is Ji, so the woman is called a certain Ji)

This maid was originally a refugee taken in by the Feng family when he was controlling the water in Lishan, but because she was separated from her family, she stayed in the Feng family as a maid and served the young lady.

The master and servant had a deep relationship and were like sisters, and there was no strict class difference in the aristocratic circle at that time.

Even Miss Feng personally went into battle, and everyone was naturally even more happy, and they were more energetic in their work.

The non-commissioned officers brought by the Feng family are all experienced.

Under their orderly coordination, the migration work is nearing its end.

But the rain was still getting heavier and heavier, and the embankment on the bank of the river was in danger of bursting at any moment.

The beggar chief urged Libo's team to go first.

Where is Li Bo willing to follow? The Feng family's team must guard until all the villagers' belongings are transferred before leaving, this is a family motto, but also a military order, and none of the Feng family's children dare to challenge this iron law set by their father. Therefore, he still insisted on guiding the women and children with heavy baggage to evacuate first.

Suddenly, there was a loud roar, like a heavy thunder rolling on the ground, and like a mandrill's roar.

Li Bo knew that the river embankment had collapsed, so he hurriedly put down his work and beckoned everyone to immediately retreat to a high place.

When I looked left and right, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw my sister and my personal maidservant.

Only then did I know that the young lady took her maidservant to persuade a lonely old man who did not want to leave before going to the village.

Li Bo hurriedly asked the family general to lead everyone to retreat, but he was going to find his sister.

How could that family be willing to let Childe personally get into danger?

However, Li Bo threatened each other with military orders, and the generals had no choice but to go.

But the beggar patriarch and Qingke insisted on following.

Feng Li couldn't do anything about them, and he didn't have time to persuade them, so the three of them rushed to the place where the thunder started.

The flood is so fast that human beings can avoid it?

The three of them ran along the mountain, and they heard a loud noise, a thatched hut was washed away by the flood, and an old woman rolled in the angry waves, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.

With nimble movements, she climbed a stone platform first, and was swept away by the flood.

The stone platform was isolated in the rolling torrent, and seeing that the waterline was still rising, this small place could not last long.

It was still Qingkeyi who was bold, and after a little wait-and-see, he rubbed his body and climbed up the high rock wall, tore off a rattan, and climbed towards a horizontal cloud pine.

This mountain wall is steep, the rain is slippery, although Qing Ke is a martial art, he has almost fallen off the cliff several times.

Seeing that there were wood and stones rolling down from a height, there was nowhere to dodge, so he could only hold on to the rock wall and endure the heavy blow.

By the time he climbed the cloud pine, it was already dripping with blood.

At this time, Qing Ke didn't have time to clean up the wound, put the rattan on the trunk of the tree, threw one end to the two women, and threw the other end to Li Bo and Begging on the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound, and there was another landslide, and a huge boulder the size of a desktop rolled down the stone wall and smashed straight into the trunk of the tree where Qing Ke was standing.

The momentum of the boulder falling, not to mention a thousand catties, how can this trunk be eaten?

But if the trunk breaks, it will be difficult to find a way to save people.

Inevitably all the previous efforts were wasted, Qing Ke could only grit his teeth and jump up, facing the boulder, and slapped the stone into the rolling torrent with a palm, but his body flew upside down to the shore like a kite with a broken line.

The place where the shore could be settled was not open, and the beggar caught Qingke's body, and was also hit the mountain wall by that force.

Rao is a beggar who is tall and strong, but he can't get up for a while.

Looking at Qingke again, he was already bleeding from his mouth and nose, and he didn't know what to do.

The second daughter was not idle at this time, and first tried to climb along the vines to the fallen pine tree to get out of trouble, but the rainstorm was pouring in, and there was no one to pull on the tree, how to climb up?

Thinking that there was only one way to swing to the other side in turn, the maid let the young lady go first.

She knew that it was a waste of time for the arguing disciples at this time, and the situation was urgent, so it was better to move quickly.

With the help of the maids one after another, they swung to the other side.

Over there, Li Bo's eyes were quick, and he pulled it over.

At this time, only Li maid was left on the platform, but the water had gradually overflowed the stone platform.

The water was so strong that just past the soles of her shoes, the footsteps of the maid began to shake.

The girl managed to move down the plate, barely steady, but she couldn't take the risk of grabbing the vines.

At this time, the beggar held on to the mountain wall hard, barely stood up, and seeing that the situation was urgent, he hurriedly snatched the vine that the girl swung over, and flew back.

Just when the maid suddenly stumbled under her feet, and was about to fall soft, she bit her steel teeth, and she didn't care about any etiquette, so she clamped her legs, lifted the maid into the air, and swung back together.

Li Bo caught the two of them at once, and he was also hit by that force, and his eyes turned black, and his muscles and bones were scattered.

Five people were lying on the ground, all bruised, with broken tendons and bones.

But the water still keeps rising, and it is inconvenient to stay here.

Among them, the least injured person is afraid that the eldest lady will be the eldest lady, so she can only carry Qingke on her back, and several people reluctantly support each other and then move to a higher place.

After a while, the place where everyone had just settled also collapsed and fell into the water.

Stone chips, blood stains, everything, were swallowed into the void by the black maws at the far end of the valley.

》》》》》 time to knock on the blackboard《《《《《

In this section there is a great deal of what is the kingdom of Poli, the country of beggars, and the high shackles. Don't worry, the text will be decrypted one by one.

Alexander's crusade still has some tails, and we will try to finish it in this section.

As mentioned above, the goal of Alexander's crusade was the land of silk, the East China Sea, and he had indeed reached the western part of the Fergan Valley. The eastern part of the valley is the northern foot of the Green Mountains, and along there, you can directly advance into Tarim and enter the western regions of China. But Alexander suddenly turned southwest and crossed the Hindu Kush Mountains, which were about the same altitude as the Green Mountains, into the Indus Valley. Since then, it has been very strange to go far from his goal.

It is not a name coined by this plot, but an ancient name for the Syr Darya River, and indeed a turning point in the Eastern Crusade as described in this work. Medicinal water, and the ancient Greek name Jaxartes (meaning pearl water, Greek transliteration Ἰαξάρτης. The word is derived from Greek, not Persian. Neartones. The Greek name could not have predated Alexander's crusades, and they came to this area later than the Yueshi people of the ancient Chinese branches. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether it is because the Macedonians passed the medicine killing water into pearl water, or the ancient Chinese passed the pearl water into medicine killing water. Looking at the timeline, it seems that the former is more likely. Otherwise, according to the old Chinese tradition of begging for lip service, if you really want to transliterate the name Jaxartes, shouldn't it be safer to choose a name like Yanxia Beach? What do you say, sir?

Back to the book, about Alexander's rudder, there are also similar stalks in Western historiography that Alexander took the wrong map to ridicule. However, theoretically speaking, cartography at that time could not be used as a guide for marching, and due to the double limitations of surveying and drawing techniques, all the maps handed down before the era were abstract like the masterpieces of Picasso.

Only people, only locals, can be guides for the troops. So why did the guide deliberately deviate from the road? At that time, India was in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms, all of which were large and small tribes, and the degree of currency and economic perfection was not as good as that of the Mediterranean and Central Asia. The interpretation of this period of history in this article is based on the interpretation of the above mysteries.

The princess of Daxia who was captured by Alexander, the modern transliteration of Roxana, this article is a concubine (such as the previous explanation of the surname, the woman's ancient surname is placed later, and the surname of the ancient Xia country. 婼, there is a Qiang, the ancient Western Regions also. ）。 The pronunciation of 姒 in ancient Chinese is Ziə (Wang Li Li Rong version), which is a foley sound based on the theory that the ancient sounds were used in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Roxana's real name means light in the Sogdian language, and it is because of Wakaki. Wakaki, out of the West, is said to have its flowers that reflect light when the sun shines. "Chu Ci • Tianwen": Xihe has not been raised, if Hua He Guang. That is, the sun did not rise, and how the flowers of Wakagi shone brightly.

So whether it's the sound, or the meaning. The etymology of Roxana is compared to that of the Chinese customs, which is well documented.

And the rumors that Roxana killed Alexander are not groundless by the author. Although the cause of Alexander's death is a mystery for the ages, the murder theory is one of the most credible in terms of evidence (the description of Alexander's death in the Crusade), feasibility, scholarly research, and subsequent evolution of the situation.
