An ordinary herdsman, during a daily sheep herding process, accidentally picked up a few seemingly inconspicuous ancient coins. But no one could have imagined that it was these ancient coins that had uncovered a big secret about the exchange between Chinese and Western civilizations. What is the secret? If you want to know the truth behind this history, then let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:
(All pictures in this article, all from the network, thanks to the original author, if you infringe your rights, please contact the author of this number to delete.) One day in March 1980, on the prairie of Artush County, a young herder named ZakMamat was grazing barefoot, counting his flock as he walked, planning to wait for the sheep to grow up and sell money to marry himself. As he thought about walking, he suddenly felt a pain under his feet, as if he had stepped on something hard. He hurriedly leaned down to check that there were a few coins in the grass roots of the dirt, and he picked them up and carried them into his pocket without even thinking about it.
After half a year, a large group of museum staff came to the village, who spread banners in the village to promote cultural relics knowledge, popularized legal awareness to the herders, and attracted many people to watch. Out of curiosity, he gave the coin to the staff for identification, and the staff was surprised to see the coin, believing that it might be the common currency of the ancient Central Asian dynasty.
In order to be able to test this idea, the staff sent the ancient coins to the ancient coin experts and asked them to help them identify them. Through careful study, experts found that although these coins have been corroded, they can still find inscriptions on the back with the words "Sulaiman Kader Peach Stone Khan", and finally determined that these ancient coins were coins minted during the reign of sulayman Ben Yusufu, the great khan of the Qarakhanid Dynasty. The Qarakhanid dynasty was a Central Asian regime around 1000 AD and once had a glorious history in the region. So what is the "peach blossom stone" in "Sulaymankader Peach Stone Khan"? Experts have given real answers by consulting historical sources. "Peach blossom stone" was once considered to be the name of the western people for ancient China, "Changchun Zhenren Journey to the West" once recorded that the hill machine helped the people in the west to make water extraction utensils, the local natives praised the hill machine "peach blossom stone everything is coincidental", the "peach blossom stone" mentioned here is actually the meaning of ancient China.
There is not much disagreement about the interpretation that "peach blossom stone" is ancient China, but there is a lot of controversy among many scholars about the origin of "peach blossom stone", of which there are three mainstream theories. 1. Tuoba 'peach blossom stone' is a transliteration of "tangas", and the mainstream theory believes that "peach blossom stone" is a homophony of "Tuoba's". At that time, the Tuoba clan had established the Northern Wei Dynasty in northern China, and its national strength was strong, which directly affected Central Asia, which also made a deep impression on it, so gradually "Tuoba" was called "peach blossom stone". 2. Tang family
There are also many scholars who believe that "peach blossom stone" originates from the word "Tang family", which is a harmonic sound of "Tang family", and there is a lot of evidence for it, mainly based on the "Tang family red khan" that appears in the orkhon River inscription. In addition, in the "Dun desire ancient stele", "Que Te Qin Stele", "Mo Yan Stele", twenty-seven records about "peach blossom stone" were found. 3. The Great Khan and many scholars have argued from the perspective of literature and the language of many ethnic groups, believing that "peach blossom stone" may be derived from the Hui's name for "Great Khan". The "peach blossom stone" ancient coin was issued very small at that time, and even more so that it is even more rare to circulate to this day, and it is very difficult to find several "peach blossom stone" ancient coins at one time.
At this point, many readers will feel that there is a puzzling place in the text, that is, why did the Qarakhanid Khan Suleiman Ben Yusufu add the word "peach blossom stone" to his coins? This reason is very simple, because the ancient "China" at that time was respected by the world, just like many people named, will add the "yang" of the sun, the "mountain" of the mountain, the "sea" of the sea, that is a very high thing.
Another situation is that suleiman's Khan Han throne of Yusufu was sealed by the Tang Dynasty, so the coin added the word "peach blossom stone", which means orthodox khan.
Of course, there is a third theory, which Russian scholars have pointed out after research: Qin (Khitan) refers to northern China, and Ma Qin guides China. Only the name "peach blossom stone" is used for Maqin (Qarakhanid Dynasty), also known as Shangqin. The "peach blossom stone" ancient coin is full of mysteries, and its reappearance can not only bring rich historical information to the study of ancient Eastern and Western cultural exchanges, but also let future generations know that whether it is the Wei and Jin dynasties or the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity and prosperity of that year have attracted the world's attention.
