Chapter 211: The Ox Pole Momentary Tubo
As a poor student of the Xianbei people who learn the culture of the Central Plains.
In the sixth century A.D., Tuyuhun was still using bronze to make armor.
In this way, it seems that their regime was overthrown by Tibet, which is not a strange thing.
Don't look at the Tibetan people who came down from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and love to use human bones to make wine vessels and ritual vessels.
However, the Tibetan people are known for their fierce personality and bravery.
And there is a lot of communication between people and the Central Plains.
During the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng and Songtsan Gampo, who was married to her, were the leaders of the Tubo people.
Songtsen Gampo was the 33rd Zampu of the Tibetan Dynasty, but he was actually the founder of the Tibetan Dynasty.
During his reign, he moved the capital to LS, pacified the civil strife in Tibet, subjugated Yangtong, unified Tibet, and formally established the Tubo kingdom ruled by slave owners.
In addition, he developed agricultural and animal husbandry production, popularized irrigation, ordered people to formulate written languages, created administrative and military systems, established official ranks, promulgated laws and decrees, and unified weights and measures and taxation systems.
It has promoted the all-round political, economic and cultural development of Tibet, and established the political, military, economic and legal systems of Tibet.
It can be said that the influence of Songtsen Gampo on the Tibetan people is equivalent to that of Qin Shi Huang in China.
And he also has a strong neighbor to learn, in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo went to Baihai to marry Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang clan.
Tang named him the commander of the horse and the king of Xihai County.
After that, Songtsen Gampo frequently sent the children of the Tibetan nobles to Chang'an to study and study poetry and books.
said that he was studying poetry and books, but in fact, he was the same as the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty, who learned everything.
As long as Tubo does not have what Tubo does not understand, all the things that Tubo does not understand, all will be learned.
The young children who studied in the United States at the end of the Qing Dynasty, even under the bad government of the late Qing Dynasty, still opened the industrial age for the Qing Dynasty and the era of industrialization for the Qing Dynasty after returning to China.
What's more, Tubo at that time was under the leadership of a virtuous monarch like Songtsen Gampo.
These Tibetan nobles who went to study in the Tang Dynasty quickly integrated into all aspects of Tubo after returning to Tibet.
Led the country of Tibet, it developed rapidly, whether it was economy, productivity, technology, and agricultural development, it was like riding a rocket.
Only then did the later Tubo State come down from the plateau, wiped out Tuyuhun in one fell swoop, occupied Qinghai and the Hexi Corridor, and even continued to invade the Western Regions.
When Tubo was at its peak, it not only took all Tibet, but also took the Hexi Corridor and Qinghai, cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and then inherited the identity of the Tang Dynasty and became the overlord of the Western Regions.
However, as long as it is a feudal dynasty, it cannot avoid the rapid decline after the peak.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Tubo also opened up, entering the last years of the dynasty, and the two brothers of the Tang Dynasty don't laugh at the second brother.
When the various sections of the Tang Dynasty were fighting in a melee, the nobles in Tubo were also fighting in a melee, and the country almost didn't exist.
Only then did the Tubo conquer the Tang Dynasty.
Two countries, almost carved out of one mold.
When Tibet was truly founded, it was about the same time as the Tang Dynasty.
The implementation of the system, but also a comprehensive study of Datang.
After that, the Tang Dynasty made the tail big and could not fall off, and the emperor in the center of the late Tang Dynasty was nothing.
Tubo is also a feudal monarch who is sealed in various places, and the Zampu of the unified country is also useless.
Then both countries went to extinction.
The land outside the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, that is, the Qinghai and Hexi corridors, was occupied by the rising Li Dynasty.
The Tibetan tribes returned to the Tibetan Plateau and split into different tribes and sects, and there was no unified government after that.
The Tang Dynasty was similar, opening the chaotic era of five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and finally giving birth to the Song Dynasty, whose territory was less than one-third of the heyday of the Tang Dynasty.
The relationship between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty has also undergone many changes.
At first, they fought each other fiercely, but later Princess Wencheng and her relatives spent fifty or sixty years of honeymoon period.
Then the whole Tibetan army attacked and laid down a large territory.
It was at this time that the regime of the Tuyuhun Kingdom perished.
Deeply learning from Datang, absorbing various advanced culture and technology, mastering the ironmaking process, coupled with his own brave and good fighting Tubo, it is not easy to fight Tuguhun.
Who told Tuyuhun not to learn well, he was obviously so close to Datang's father, but he didn't learn the advanced culture of Datang well.
However, the production process of this mural and gold and silver ware is very good.
According to the clues provided by the local police, most of the more than 600 cultural relics stolen from this tomb were gold and silver wares, and they were very exquisitely made, which was not much different from the gold and silver wares of the Tang Dynasty of the same era.
And with a strong Western style.
This shows that the gold and silver production process of Tuyuhun at that time was not bad, at least it could keep up with the times.
But in terms of weapon production, it looks pretty average.
The iron arrowheads found from the main burial chamber are of very average quality, but they are made of very ordinary pig iron.
At the same time, the iron arrowheads of the Tang Dynasty had already used steel, and even the good iron arrowheads were still made of 100 steel!
This poor process is not a little bit.
From pig iron to wrought iron, then to fried iron, and finally to 100 steel.
If you want to develop independently, you can't develop it without hundreds of years of effort.
But Tuyuhun has a big brother next door who can learn.
It's a pity that Tuyuhun doesn't pay attention to learning advanced technology.
This was the end of the collapse of a regime.
Even the nation's own writing has been discarded and forgotten.
Why?
Because of Kong Jianwen, in the southwest corner of the main tomb, a piece of wood was found.
On the wooden slab, there is a line of text written in Tibetan script.
Tibetan, which all the archaeologists here do not understand very well.
Moreover, these Tibetan languages are not modern Tibetan, they are the original ancient Tibetan, that is, the script created during the Songtsen Gampo period.
It is also the official text of the Tibetan State.
As mentioned before, the age of this tomb is in the seventh and eighth centuries, that is, when the Tibetan state ruled the Qinghai region.
At this time, the Tuyuhun Kingdom had been extinct for one or two hundred years, and only the Tuyuhun was left.
And it seems that this Tugu Hun Tubo is very thorough.
In the tombs of their own tribes and royal families, the written records found were all written in Tibetan script.
However, when the Tuyuhun Kingdom was strong, it also did the same thing of creating words by itself.
Obviously, at this time, Tuyuhun had completely abandoned its own culture and writing, and even language.
This made Chen Han feel very funny.
When Tuyuhun was strong, he didn't know that he learned advanced culture and technology from the Central Plains next door, and engaged in the Sinicization movement like his predecessors in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Then when it was conquered by Tibet and the country was gone, he immediately learned the culture of Tibet.
This is really holding on and going backwards!
It can only be said that it deserves it!
