Where do lions, rhinos, good horses and other animals come from?

In ancient China, the Hetao, the Western Regions, was the production area of good horses.

Rhinos are mainly found in Africa and Southeast Asia.

Lions were originally distributed in all parts of Africa except the tropical rainforest area, together with South Asia and the Middle East, and now the lions in other parts of Asia have disappeared except for the gil in India, and there are no wild lions in North Africa, and the lions are mainly distributed in the grasslands south of the Sahara Desert in Africa, so they can now be regarded as a special product of Africa.

Both lions and rhinos came from Africa and West Asia, and lions were sent by envoys from the ancient country of the Iranian plateau. See Sima Biao's "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty": "The country of Tiaozhi produces lions and rhinoceros.

In the first year of Emperor Zhanghe (87), the state of peace sent an envoy to offer lions. "The rhinoceros was sent by an envoy from the Huang Zhiguo (present-day Sri Lanka) when Wang Mang was proclaimed emperor. In ancient times, our country was the birthplace of good horses.

It can be said that lions and rhinoceros both came to China from the Silk Road.

As early as BC, China had contacts with Eurasian countries, and the grapes, cucumbers, and spinach that we often eat were first brought back to China from this road, and animals such as lions, rhinos, and good horses also came from this road.

Hehe, this is an interesting question, and it is even more interesting to answer it from the perspective of phylogenesis.

Lions, rhinos, good horses were brought to our country from foreign countries. (The Silk Road).

China is the homeland of silk, and silk is the most representative of the goods exported by China through this route. Among the goods transported from the west by this road, silk products have the greatest influence, hence the name (and a lot of silk is shipped by us in China). In the second half of the 19th century, the German geographer Richthofen called this road transportation route the "Silk Road", and since then Chinese and foreign historians have agreed with this theory and continue to use it today.

The Silk Road was a passage across Asia and Europe in ancient times. It stretches from Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han and Tang dynasties in China (now Xi'an, Shaanxi) in the east, to Rome in the west. Among the goods that pass through this long road, silk produced in our country is the most representative, hence the name "Silk Road".

"A vivid scene" refers to the cultural exchanges, commercial and trade exchanges between China and the West that took place on this great road more than 2,000 years ago.

This is only a vivid scene of exchanges between the East and the West after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, referring to the scene of the meeting and exchange between the general of Anxiguo and the Chinese envoy in 115 BC after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions.

After Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, in 115 BC, the general of Anxiguo and the Chinese envoys exchanged gifts.

That's the teacher's answer

Today, I studied the text "The Silk Road". It has benefited me a lot.

It starts from Chang'an, the ancient capital of the Han and Tang dynasties in China in the east (now Xi'an, in the gorge), and extends to Luo in the west.

Horses, among the goods carried out on this road, silk is the most representative, hence the name "Silk Road". The Silk Road is not only a commercial and trade road connecting Asia and Europe in ancient times, but also a friendship road to promote friendly exchanges between Asian and European countries and China, and to communicate Eastern and Western cultures. Some famous figures in history such as:

Zhang Qian, who sent an envoy to the Western Regions, threw a pen from Ban Chao from Rong, and ...... learned from the West

This text tells the story of a year in 115 B.C. when the Chinese envoy Zhang Qian had friendly exchanges with the generals of the state of Anxian (representing the state of Han and the state of Anxi) and exchanged things that other countries did not have.

Since then, caravans of camels have traveled in this long journey, bringing China's cicada raising, silk reeling, iron smelting, papermaking, well sinking, irrigation and other technologies to Central Asia, West Asia, and Europe, bringing grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, cucumbers, sesame, figs and other food to China, as well as lions, rhinoceros, good horses and other animals to China.

It mainly talked about the common prosperity of our country and the West

It mainly talks about the history of the development of silk in China.

Some of them can still be seen in Chang'an during the Han Dynasty, but they slowly disappeared due to climate change. If you want to know the details, you can look for some information about the distribution of animals during several cold and warm periods in history.

Western foods such as grapes, walnuts, pomegranates, broad beans, cucumbers, sesame seeds, and figs were brought to China, as well as animals such as lions, rhinoceros, and good horses. China's **, dance, painting, and sculpture have become more colorful and beautiful due to absorbing the advantages of foreign cultures.
