The territory that China recovered after 128 years: the ancient name ''Buzhou Mountain'' has a total area of 1158 square kilometers
In the ancient Chinese book "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". There is such a record: Beyond the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the great wilderness, there are mountains but not together, and the name is not well known. And here ''Bu Zhou'' is the myth and legend of the Later Generations of Bu Zhou Mountain, and the myths and legends about bu Zhou Mountain, the most famous is that the Gonggong Anger can not touch the Zhou Mountain, in the record of the book "Liezi", described in detail this historical event: due to the decline of the Shao Hao clan, the final outbreak of the battle between the Gonggong and the Gonggong, the battle for the succession of the throne, and finally ended with the defeat of the Gonggong, the Gonggong was dissatisfied, so the anger touched the Zhou Mountain, causing the sky to collapse, the monstrous flood continued, and finally it was Nüwa who cultivated the Seven Colored Stones. It was only then that this catastrophe was put to rest.
So where is the Buzhou Mountain recorded in these texts? The truth makes many people unable to imagine that the actual location of Buzhou Mountain is today's Pamir Plateau, in fact, in ancient China, the specific location of Buzhou Mountain has been examined, and confirmed that the Pamir Plateau is the Buzhou Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but few people know it. In the Two Han Dynasties, this area was also known as ''Onion Ridge'', and was called an important transportation base of the ancient Silk Road, and this area was described in many ancient texts.
In the famous Tang Dynasty", the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty also has a detailed record of the Pamir Plateau. In Marco Polo's travelogue, the details of the "Onion Ridge" are also recorded. Marco Polo reminds: It's a very high altitude, and if you want to pass through here, you have to bring enough water and food, because here you can't see anything else, and here, it's hard to boil the water. China's jurisdiction over the Pamir Plateau was established during the Han Dynasty and continued until the Qing Dynasty.
However, with the rule of the Qing Dynasty, the name ''Onion Ridge'' began to be gradually replaced by the Pamir, and the Qing Dynasty would send officials every year to map the place and name the local area according to the topographical trend, and in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the entire territory of the Permir Plateau was within the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty. It was not until after the decline of the Qing Dynasty that the Qing government was increasingly unable to effectively manage the Pamir Plateau due to internal and external troubles, and at this time the British began to covet Tibet in China, while the Tsarist Russia wanted to seize China's Xinjiang. Eventually, the two powers privately signed an agreement to divide the Wakhan Pamir to britain, while the northern part of the Pamir Plateau was acquired by Tsarist Russia.
Because China at that time ended with the qing dynasty's rule and then fell into the era of warlord chaos, it was always unable to take care of the northwest frontier, and eventually the land was deprived by the colonists. During the Republic of China period, China always claimed national sovereignty over the Pamir Plateau, and with the establishment of New China, the Chinese and Afghan governments, after consultation, voluntarily abandoned the Wakhan Pamir region when dividing the border between the two countries.
In 2011, when China negotiated borders with Tajikistan, it confirmed that the 1,158 square kilometers of Pamir territory was Chinese territory, and the Pamir Plateau had been lost for 128 years. But with the continuous advancement of the New Silk Road, here has once again become an important link of the Silk Road, and with the development and construction, it has become a good place for tourism and leisure, but if you want to enjoy the scenery here, you must first bring an oxygen cylinder, after all, this is a high-altitude area with an average of 5,000 meters, and the first place to play is small and safe.
China reclaimed a territory that had been separated for 128 years, with a total area of 1158 square kilometers, known in ancient times as ''Buzhou Mountain''
