Su Rui asked Zi Yang how much he knew about the history of the ancient city of Loulan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Ziyang modestly said that he doesn't know much about serious history, but he has heard a lot of some folk rumors or something.

Su Rui said that many wild histories in history are often more valuable than the official history, anyway, the journey is long, and telling stories can be regarded as relieving everyone's boredom.

Looking at Su Rui's encouraging expression, Zi Yang said stubbornly: This Loulan is the name of the ancient country in the Western Regions, which was first seen in the "Historical Records" of the Han Dynasty.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was not good at stubble, and after enduring it for a while, he decided to send troops to attack, and finally surrendered, but the ruler of Loulan at that time was a standard wall grass, one would surrender to the Han, and the Huns would surrender for a while, and these two faces were also very skillful. As a result, both sides were unhappy, and they sent troops to attack many times, and I will fight after you finish fighting, and this Loulan can't beat any of them, so he can only be caught in the middle and be angry.

After the defeat, Loulan sent the two princes to the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty as protons (that is, the "hostages" that you Americans often talk about), hoping to exchange for peace. Later, the king of Loulan died of illness, and the Loulan regime asked the Han Dynasty to send the proton back, but the prince of Loulan was a guy who was not angry, short-tempered, and often violated the criminal law in the Han Dynasty.

This prince succeeded to the throne can not pass on the lineage how to do it, Loulan people have no choice, had to re-establish the king, and then the king of Loulan braided again, this time the Huns preemptively sent Loulan proton back, and told the proton to say: I will send you back as the king, and in the future, our Hun Loulan will be good brothers.

The Han Dynasty heard that the new king of Loulan was established, so he ordered this new king to come to worship the mountain, where does this new king dare, you even cut the cocks of our hostages, is it okay for me to go here? So I thought of various reasons to shirk it, saying that I had just become a king, and I had to deal with a lot of family affairs, and I would have the opportunity to play again in the future.

The Han Dynasty was not reluctant, so he ordered Loulan to be in charge of the food and drinking water of the Han envoys and the caravans passing through the Han Dynasty. Originally, this matter passed like this, but this Loulan people started tossing again a few days after being honest. Relying on the support of the Huns, he sent troops to attack and rob and kill Han envoys several times.

Loulanguo's own family is not very peaceful, and the king of Loulan has a younger brother named Wei Tuqi, who is not dealing with this new king, but he is weak and has no choice. Later, he was bullied, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and reported all these bad things about the collusion between the Xiongnu and Loulan to the Han court.

Loulan officials saw that in addition to the traitors in the team, they simply did not do anything, completely fell to the Huns, and continued to intercept and kill the Han envoys, at that time the Western Han Dynasty was opening up the Silk Road, and Loulan did this, which caused the traffic between the Western Han Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions to be greatly hindered.

Later, there was a heroic figure in the Han Dynasty, that is, the general Huo Guang, he sent a man named Fu Jiezi to bring two of his subordinates to Loulan, saying that the Han court wanted to reward him, and the king of Loulan was also a brainless person, and he was very happy when he heard that it was beneficial, so he wanted to invite him to dinner. As a result, this Fu Jiezi drunk King Loulan on the spot, and then killed him with two of his subordinates - this is no one with the guts.

This Fu Jiezi is also a bold character, he killed the king of others, and scared the people of Loulan and said, "The king of Loulan is guilty of the court, and the Son of Heaven sent me to kill him, and now he should be the new king of the Han Dynasty." The army of the Han Dynasty will arrive soon, and if you act rashly, you will only invite the disaster of destroying the country yourself! "This is awesome, and the people of Loulan are unexpected.

After this Wei Tu Qi was established as the new king, he became a puppet of the Han Dynasty, completely subdued the Han Dynasty, and later changed the name of Loulan to Shanshan, and moved the capital to the city of Mud, which is now near Ruoqiang, where we are going today.

Zi Yang finished telling this wild history vividly, and a car of people, including Su Rui and Lao Wang, listened to it with relish.

Su Rui said, "I've heard a little bit about the history of Loulan, but it's the first time I've heard such an interesting statement!" ”

Ziyang touched his head and smiled, "Many people say that history is boring, I don't think that's really the case, the key depends on how you read history." ”

Su Rui nodded and continued to ask: "It stands to reason that after this Loulan descended to the Han Dynasty, with the geographical advantages of the Silk Road, it should be prosperous and prosperous, but why did it suddenly disappear?" ”

Ziyang said, "Not only Loulan, in fact, around 400 AD, many countries west of Loulan have mysteriously disappeared, Niya, Karadun, Milan City, Niyang City, Khan City, Tongwan City, etc., the disappearance of these cities is very sudden, and very strange. ”

Lao Wang was also interested at this time, "How did you disappear?" Did the aliens do it? Talk about it, talk about it! "This guy is also in a relationship with aliens, and he throws the pot at aliens whenever something happens.

Ziyang gave him a blank look: "Many historians define this large-scale disappearance event as the displacement of Lop Nur, which led to the desertification of these areas and the successive migration of races. But I think there are a lot of doubts in this, if it is a migration of races, how can it not leave a little historical information? And where are all the people who migrated? ”

Zi Yang coughed twice and continued: "According to historical records, in 1901, the 'foreign friend' Sven? Heding excavated the ruins of Loulan and obtained a large number of ancient coins of the Han and Wei dynasties and Rome, architectural wood carvings in the Hellenistic style of Central Asia, pieces of paper with Chinese characters written on them, bamboo slips and a few brushes...... You must know that at that time, Loulan was influenced by the culture of the Central Plains and already had a certain degree of civilization, which can also be seen from the words and materials excavated at the Loulan site. At that time, there was already an administrative body such as a special historian. If there were any migrations or other changes, there should be more or less records in history, but in fact, the record of this history is blank. ”

"The key thing is that judging from the ruins of Loulan at the beginning, this ancient city disappeared very suddenly, and it can even be described as a mess."

"The high monk Fa Xian in Chinese history traveled west to learn scriptures, passing through this place, he said in the "Buddha's Country Record" that this place has been 'no birds above, no beasts below, all over the eyes, only with the dead people's dry bones as the mark of the ear'. Obviously, Loulan had died out at that time, and it can be seen from his records that this was a sudden event, and many people died violently for no reason. The Chinese are the dead, and if it were not for some sudden change, they would not let the bones of their relatives go into the wild. So, it's likely to be a collective emergency. ”

"In recent years, there is also a theory that Loulan's demise was caused by an unprecedented drought.

The main argument for the drought theory is a passage in the Commentary on the Book of Water. At that time, the Loulan people built more than 100,000 square meters of Loulan ancient city by Lop Nur. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the diversion of the Zhubin River in the middle reaches of the Tarim River at that time, the surface of Lop Nur Lake shrank and Loulan lacked water. Dunhuang Soler led 1,000 soldiers to Loulan, and summoned 3,000 soldiers from Shanshan, Yanqi and Qiuci to divert water into Loulan day and night, alleviating the dilemma of water shortage in Loulan - later, Loulan also promulgated the world's first environmental protection code. ”

However, this statement is also very flawed, the ancient city of Loulan is next to Lop Nur, and it stands to reason that it will not run out of water and food. After all, the historical Lop Nur is the largest lake in the arid region of northwest China, with a maximum lake area of 12,000 square kilometers, even after many river diversions, the lake surface shrank, and it still reached 500 square kilometers at the beginning of the last century, until 1972, when it finally dried up. Obviously, the argument of water shortage is also untenable. ”

"The aforementioned 'foreign friend' Sven. Hedin believed that the disappearance of Loulan was related to the north-south migration of Lop Nur. The north-south migration cycle of Lop Nur is about 1500 years. More than 3,000 years ago, there was a European tribe living in the Loulan area, and more than 1,500 years ago, Loulan entered the era of prosperity again, which is directly related to the migration of Lop Nur. “

"However, later some geologists proved that from the site structure at the bottom of Lop Nur Lake. There is no such thing as dissociation. “

"There are several theories about the demise of Loulan, one is that it disappeared in the war, after the fifth century AD, the kingdom of Loulan began to weaken, the northern powers invaded, the city of Loulan was broken, and then it was abandoned.

There is also a theory that Loulan was destroyed by a plague disease.

To put it even more bizarrely, defeated by a biological invasion.

There are too many unexplained secrets between the Loulan civilization and the Lop Nur civilization, the Sun Tomb, the Loulan female corpse, and the Xiaohe cemetery, which have happened too much in thousands of years, and there are many historical records, novels, and rumors about this aspect. There are countless scholars who have studied it for more than 100 years, but no one has enough evidence to uncover the secrets. “

The car was bumpy forward, and Ziyang also told everyone about the various histories, legends, and wild legends of Loulan.

After listening to Ziyang, Su Rui exclaimed, "It's so professional, I don't know as much as you in the archaeology department." ”

Ziyang said modestly on the surface, "The things in the textbooks are very rigorous, so sometimes the information on wild history and folklore is richer. "But I thought to myself, if it weren't for the study of twelve sheets of paper, I wouldn't have spent so much effort studying these. For your expedition, I have done a lot of homework in advance, and it is easy for me to memorize so many things!

At this time, Alexander, who had been sitting in the front row, also glanced back at him, and said that I appreciate what you mean—it seems that I have been listening just now.

Zi Yang was shocked, this foreigner can understand Chinese?
