Why did Princess Wencheng bring so many things into Tibet

It can be said to be a dowry, showing the strength of the Tang Dynasty.

It is required by the Tibetan people to learn various advanced techniques of the Han people.

In ancient times, the man had to give a bride price, and the woman had to bring a dowry.

Promote cultural exchange and learn advanced culture.

Support the construction of fraternal nations.

Dowry! Of course, you have to pay a lot of dowry to marry a princess (fake)!

If you marry a daughter, you will be richer, and you will naturally have more dowry.

Princess Wencheng went into Tibet for a year.

In 640 A.D., Songtsen Gampo sent Xue Lu Dongzan to bring **5,000 taels and a large number of other treasures to the official dowry. Tang Taizong named a daughter of the clan as Princess Wencheng and allowed her to marry Songtsen Gampo.

In 641 AD, Princess Wencheng arrived at Tuyuhun, a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty, accompanied by Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and Lu Dongzan, the envoy of Tubo. Songtsen Gampo personally greeted him in Baihai, met Li Daozong, and performed the gift of his son-in-law.

The significance of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet is as follows:

Princess Wencheng brought to the agricultural technicians in Tibet, the grain seeds brought from the Central Plains were sown on the fertile soil of the plateau, and then carefully irrigated, fertilized, and weeded, and when the harvest season came, the strong crops, the amazing high yield, made the Tubo people widen their eyes, and they had to admire the superb planting technology of the Han agricultural technicians.

Under the instruction of Songtsen Gampo and Princess Wencheng, agricultural technicians began to teach agricultural techniques to the Tibetan people in a planned way, so that they could harvest a large amount of grain while being nomadic. Especially after passing on the technology of planting mulberry and silkworms to them, Tubo gradually developed self-made silk fabrics, which was a cross-era innovation.

"Harmony" policy

The "pro" policy has always been controversial, thinking that the stool rolling man can't beat it, so he asks the woman to go out; From the Qin and Han dynasties, the "policy of harmony" throughout Chinese history, nomads and Central Plains culture have always been in competition, to the heyday of feudal society - the Tang Dynasty, and the border counties with relatives have produced an outstanding political wisdom.

The "peace policy" of the Tang Dynasty was far from groveling to the Xiongnu in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty. The most famous figure is Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the royal family, whose original name was Li Yan'er, who lived between 625 and 680 AD, which happened to be the historical period when the early Tang Dynasty turned into the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Princess Wencheng is smart and beautiful, she has been nurtured by her family since she was a child, she is knowledgeable and courteous, and believes in Buddhism. You must know that Tubo is not the south of the Yangtze River, and living in that kind of place where the sky is high and the earth is far away is tantamount to changing one's mind and reincarnating.
