The story of the Silk Road is in addition to Zhang Qian s urgency

The Silk Road refers to the land passage opened by Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions during the Western Han Dynasty (202-8 BC), with Chang'an (now Xi'an) and Luoyang as the eastern starting point (one says that Luoyang is the starting point), passing through Gansu and Xinjiang, to Central Asia and West Asia, and connecting the Mediterranean countries (this road is also known as the "Northwest Silk Road" to distinguish the other two transportation routes with the name "Silk Road" in the future). Silk products were the most influential among the goods transported west by this road, hence the name. Its basic direction was set in the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, including three routes: the South, the Middle and the North.

The Silk Road, in a broad sense, refers to the general term for long-distance commercial and cultural exchange routes that have been formed since antiquity and spread throughout Eurasia and even North and East Africa. In addition to the above-mentioned routes, it also includes the Maritime Silk Road, which was formed during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and played a huge role in the late Ming Dynasty, and the Southern Silk Road, which appeared at the same time as the Northwest Silk Road and replaced the Northwest Silk Road as a road exchange channel at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

The term "Silk Road" (German: die seidenstrasse) originated in the German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen's 1877 book China, sometimes referred to simply as the Silk Road.

Although the Silk Road is the product of the joint economic and trade development of countries along the route, many people believe that China's Zhang Qian opened up a new era of Sino-foreign exchanges by connecting the Western Regions twice. And successfully lifted the last bead curtain between the East and the West. Since then, this route has been stepped out as a "national highway", and envoys and businessmen from various countries have been coming and going along the road opened by Zhang Qian.

From princes and nobles to beggars and prisoners, they have all left their footprints on this road. This east-west route closely links the Central Plains and the Western Regions with Arabia and the Persian Gulf. After centuries of continuous efforts, the Silk Road stretched westward to the Mediterranean.

Broadly speaking, the eastern section of the Silk Road has reached South Korea and Japan, and the western section has reached France and the Netherlands. It can also reach Italy and Egypt by sea, and has become a friendship road for economic and cultural exchanges between Asia, Europe and Africa.

Zhang Qian sent an envoy to the Western Regions, opened a communication line to promote economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West - the Silk Road, from Chang'an through the Hexi Corridor, and then divided into two roads, north and south, the south road is out of Yangguan (now southwest of Dunhuang, Gansu) westward, through Shanshan (near present-day Luobu Naoer), along the northern foot of Kunlun Mountain, through Khotan (now Hotan), Shadong, Puli (now Tashkurgan), over the Green Ridge, to Dayueshi, and then westward to Anxi and the Mediterranean Daqin (now the Roman Republic), or from Dayueshi to the south into the body poison (India); The north road is from Yumen Pass (now northwest of Dunhuang) to the west, through the former country of Cheshi (near the present Turpan), along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains to the west, through Yanqi, Shule, over the Green Ridge, to Dawan. further north-south to Kangju and Xiancai; Southwest to Otsuki, rest. The most traded goods on this trans-Eurasian route were silk, hence the name "Silk Road" or "Silk Road".

Zhang Qian was a diplomat in the Western Han Dynasty. A native of Chenggu (now Chenggu, Shaanxi) in Hanzhong. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was in the first year of his reign (140 years ago).

Emperor Wu wanted to unite with the Dayue clan to attack the Xiongnu, Zhang Qian should be recruited as a messenger, and in the second year of Jianyuan, he went out of Longxi, passed through the Xiongnu, and was captured. In the Xiongnu for more than 10 years, he married a wife and had children, but he always adhered to the Han Festival. After escaping, he traveled west to Dawan, passed through Kangju, arrived at Dayueshi, and then to Daxia, and stayed for more than a year before returning.

On the way back, Zhang Qian changed from Nandao to Nanshan, trying to avoid being discovered by the Xiongnu, but he was still obtained by the Xiongnu and was detained for more than a year. In the third year of Yuan Shuo (126 BC), the Xiongnu civil strife, Zhang Qian took the opportunity to flee back to the Han Dynasty, and reported the situation in the Western Regions in detail to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When Zhang Qian was in Bactria , he learned that the road from the southwest of Shu (now Sichuan Basin) to the southwest of Poison (now India) could lead to Bactria because he persuaded Emperor Wu to open the southwest Yi Road, but it was blocked by Kunming Yi and could not be passed.

In the sixth year of Yuan Shuo, Zhang Qian accompanied Wei Qing to conquer the Huns, and was meritorious and named Bo Wanghou. In the second year of Yuanzhan (121 BC), he and Li Guang went out to the right of Beiping (now northeast Hebei) to attack the Xiongnu; Zhang Qian was beheaded because of the delay in the military period, and he was spared from being a concubine with a marquis. After Zhang Qian replied to persuade Emperor Wu to unite with Wusun (in the present-day Ili River Valley), Emperor Wu worshiped Qian as the Zhonglang general, and in 119 BC led 300 people, cattle and sheep with tens of thousands of gold silks, and sent Wusun to envoy.

Zhang Qian went to Wusun and sent deputy envoys to Dawan, Kangju, Yueshi, Daxia and other neighboring countries, and this trip also achieved great results, and the countries of the Western Regions also sent envoys to visit Chang'an. Wusun sent an envoy to send Zhang Qian back to Han and offered a horse to thank him. In the second year of Yuan Ding (115 BC), Zhang Qian returned.

He died the following year. After the deputy envoys he sent, he successively brought envoys from various countries in the Western Regions to Han; Wusun finally intermarried with the Han and defeated the Xiongnu together. Hanergy was founded by Zhang Qian.

Because Zhang Qian had prestige in the Western Regions, the envoys sent by the Han Dynasty later called Bowang Marquis to win the trust of other countries. Zhang Qian made outstanding contributions to the opening of the Silk Road from China to the Western Regions, and is still praised by the world. There were no historical records of the Western Regions at that time, but Zhang Qian's report, which was recorded in the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", is the original source material on which the study of Central Asian history is based, and has important value.
