How difficult is it for Zhang Qian, who has opened up the Silk Road for thirteen years?

It took Zhang Qian 13 years to open up the Silk Road in the Western Regions, during which he had to walk through a large desert. We can imagine how difficult it is to get through a ** route. The biggest difficulty Zhang Qian encountered was that he strayed into the territory of the Xiongnu twice, which made them stay in the Xiongnu's prison cell for ten years.

In 139 BC, Zhang Qian led a team of 100 people to leave Chang'an, pass through Yumen Pass, and go to the depths of the desert to find the Dayue Clan. Zhang Qian's purpose was to cooperate with the Dayue clan and attack the Xiongnu together. Zhang Qian and his party strayed into the territory of the Xiongnu, although the Huns did not kill Zhang Qian and his party, but imprisoned them all for more than ten years.

When they escaped from the Xiongnu country and entered the Dayue Clan, they found that the situation in the Dayue Clan was completely different from ten years ago. Originally, the Great Moon Clan had a strong sense of revenge against the Xiongnu, but after ten years of consumption, the Great Moon Clan no longer wanted to fight with the Xiongnu. At this time, Zhang Sai was very disappointed, and more than ten years of hard work were wasted.

When Zhang Qian returned and wanted to return to the Han Dynasty, although they deliberately bypassed the territory of the Xiongnu, unfortunately they were caught again. It took Zhang Qian more than a year to escape this time, and when they returned to Chang'an City, only two or three people came back from a team of more than 100 people.

Known as the first Chinese to open his eyes to the world, he transmitted the Central Plains civilization to the West, and introduced grapes, pomegranates and other crops from the West to the Central Plains, and he was a pioneer in promoting the exchange of civilizations between the Central Plains and the Western Regions.

Thirteen years to open up the Silk Road, the environment is harsh, the language is not understood, and there may be bandits. It's been a tough journey.

Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions, but the language was not understood on the road, and at that time, the Western Regions was known as a wild land, and bandits often appeared.

I think it's very difficult, especially on the road, and there are many places where I don't understand the language.

It must be very difficult, not to mention the harshness of the environment, but it is very difficult to communicate with the local people.

He has to walk through the desert, but walking in the desert will often get lost, unable to find the direction, and has twice strayed into the territory of the Huns, which is very dangerous!

Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions to open up the Silk Road, first of all, the environment was bad, and secondly, there were difficulties in communication, which was not easy and the road was far away

It took Zhang Qian thirteen years to open up the Silk Road, and there are more deserts in the middle, and there is no water source when the road is difficult to walk, and the journey is hard to imagine.

The harsh environment and the process of people accepting silk, the locals accepting a freshness takes a certain amount of time, as well as the language.

Because at that time, there were many dangers and difficulties unknown to people in the Western Regions, which was very difficult, and it was very difficult in terms of the environment and the obstacles of some countries.

It should be very difficult, otherwise it would not be a long way and there will be a lot of unexpected things.

It was opened up in 114 BC. However, the reason for opening the Silk Road was not to promote economic exchanges, but to unite Wusun, but instead of success, there was economic cooperation.

During the Han Dynasty, the Silk Road was opened, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ordered to go to the Western Regions, which brought a lot of new things to the Han Dynasty and promoted economic development.

Zhang Sai was ordered to go to the Western Regions in 139 BC to open up the Silk Road. He has also experienced a lot of difficulties along the way.

The Western Regions returned to the Han Dynasty

Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions and his contact with the customs and customs of the countries in the Western Regions was the Han Dynasty that began to understand the countries of the Western Regions, which enabled the Han Dynasty to establish a friendly relationship with the Western Regions, which laid the foundation for the later wide-limbed Western Han Dynasty to set up the Western Regions Protectorate and make the Western Regions officially under the jurisdiction of the Western Han Dynasty. The envoys of the Han Dynasty constantly traveled back and forth to the countries of the Western Regions, more than a dozen times a year, and as little as five or six times, all in the name of "Bowang Hou" in order to win the trust of various countries.

Zhang Qian (164 BC, 114 BC), Ziwen, a native of Chenggu County, Hanzhong County (now Chenggu County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province), was an outstanding diplomat, traveler, explorer and pioneer of the Silk Road in the Han Dynasty, and his hometown was in Bowang Village, 2 kilometers south of Chenggu County, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province.

Zhang Qian is full of pioneering and adventurous spirit, in the second year of the founding of the Western Han Dynasty (139 years ago), by the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, by Gan's father as a guide, led more than 100 people to the Western Regions, opened up the north-south road to the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, that is, the famous Silk Road, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty awarded him the Marquis of Bowang with military merits. Historian Sima Qian praised Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions as "hollowing out", which means "opening the avenue".

Zhang Qian is known as a great diplomat and explorer, "the pioneer of the Silk Road", "the first Chinese to open his eyes to the world", and "Columbus of the East". He spread the civilization of the Central Plains to the Western Regions, and introduced species such as sweat horses, grapes, alfalfa, pomegranates, and flax from the countries of the Western Regions to the Central Plains, promoting the exchange of Eastern and Western civilizations.

The Silk Road, referred to as the Silk Road. It refers to the Western Han Dynasty (202 B.C.-8 A.D.), which was opened up by Zhang Qian's envoy to the Western Regions, starting from Chang'an (now Xi'an), 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 it from the other two transportation routes with the name of "Silk Road" in the future). Silk products were the most influential of the goods transported west by this route (and a lot of silk was shipped from China).

Its basic direction was set in the Han Dynasty and Han Dynasty, including three routes: the South, the Middle and the North.

Since Zhang Qian's passage to the Western Regions, China's commercial contacts with Central Asia and Europe have increased rapidly. Through this avenue running through Asia and Europe, Chinese silk, silk, silk, satin, silk and other silk products were continuously transported to Central Asia and Europe, so the Greeks and Romans called China the country of Seris, and the Chinese called the Serisians. The so-called "Seris" means "silk".

In the middle, he set out in 138 BC and returned in 126, on the way he was caught by the Xiongnu twice, and escaped twice, and had a Xiongnu wife, who changed to the south and fled back to the Han Dynasty when he returned.
