We prefer to find some historical information from place names, because place names are also the real footprints of human beings on the earth, and even after many years, they will still shine in the inheritance and memory of future generations.
Where did the last Huns go? For a long time, there is such a saying in the domestic historians: after the Xiongnu split the two parts of the north and the south, the southern Xiongnu were surrendered by the Han Dynasty, and the Northern Xiongnu moved all the way west, and the northern Xiongnu moved all the way to the west, and the mighty and fierce, once again became an invincible fighting nation, successively defeated Alan, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, etc., and finally destroyed the Roman Empire.
We don't believe this. The reason for the unbelief was that the defeated Northern Xiongnu were all yellow when they left China, and when they arrived in Rome, their hair changed, their eyes changed, and they became white. We have reason to believe that a fleeing people cannot form a strong fighting force on the way to escape, and if they are assimilated and changed, they should also have a long period of time to stay in a certain place, and then marrying a wife and having children will take up most of their time and energy, rather than taking up arms to fight, fight, and fight again.
Therefore, this kind of nonsense in Western history can basically be laughed at by us.
Pleasant, a place name, a small country, a state.
As a small country, Yueban is the name of the western region established by the descendants of the Northern Xiongnu during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the pronunciation of "ban" should be "pan". More information: it is named after its ancient name "Huanpan". During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it competed with Gaoche, Rouran, And Northern Wei for one of the four major powers in the Western Regions. The historical background is: during the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu moved west to Kangju, and their tribes of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled stayed in the Bayinbrook Grassland north of Yanqi in Xinjiang, and later assimilated and integrated with the Wusun and Gaoche people to form a country of their own, and during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the border was widened to the Ili River Valley.
It can be said that the last Xiongnu were actually in China, the western region of China in the past, and now Xinjiang in China. They stayed on the Bayinbrook steppe, gradually merged with the local peoples as a whole, and established a small country, but we do not know who the main ethnic group of this small country is. Is it Wusun? Is it a high car? Or the Huns? Or is it a mixture of Wusun, Gaoche and Xiongnu? But this confusion does not mean that the Huns did not exist in the Kingdom of Yueban.
In the war with Northern Wei and Rouran for land, Yuebangguo initially made good friends with Rouran, but soon turned against each other, fought endlessly, and allied with Northern Wei to jointly attack Rouran and maintain friendly relations with Northern Wei. Its political influence is similar to that of Wusun in the Han Dynasty. "Wei Shu Xiyu Biography": "Yue Ban Guo, in the northwest of Wusun, went to represent 1930 li... In the ninth year of the True King, he sent envoys to the court. And send illusionists. "Zhenjun is the year of Tuoba Tao, Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the ninth year of Zhenjun is 448 AD, and the illusionist is the ancient name for the magician. The Falcon (belonging to the Roman Empire) was known for its magic and spread from west to east, and during the Han Dynasty, there were illusionists who came to China to perform. Also known as "dazzling person", "illusionist", "illusionist", "avatar". The People of Yueban felt that the magicians were very fresh, so they sent them to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
The territory of the Yueban Kingdom to the west is about the area around the Puchi River. The Phachi River is about 1,125 kilometers long and flows between Badakhshan Province and Tajikistan in Afghanistan. Located between the Hindu Kush and Pamir Mountains, bordering Karl Marx Peak to the northwest, it is formed by the confluence of the Wakhan River in Afghanistan and the Pamir River on the Afghan-Tatar border. The source of the water comes from glacial meltwater, which flows southwest, turns north, and finally flows southwest, where it merges with the Kwahesh River to form the Amu Darya.
The Bachi River records the relationship between the last Huns in present-day Afghanistan, and by the Tang Dynasty, the Yueban Kingdom no longer existed, but the Tang Dynasty set up 8 Governorates in this area of present-day Afghanistan, including Yueshi, Great Khan, Shufeng, Xiuxian, Tiaozhi, Qisha Prefecture, Kunxu Prefecture and Yueban Prefecture, which almost included today's Afghanistan and belonged to the Anxi Capital Protectorate. Governor's Mansion of Yueban Prefecture
In the first year of Long Shuo (661), zhishi Khan's Yancheng, where is the Yancheng? There are two theories: one is that it is in the area of Scottzar, northwest of the Hindu Kush Mountains in present-day northeastern Afghanistan; the other is the area southwest of present-day Dushanbe, Tajikistan. The prefecture of Yueban covers the northern part of the middle section of the present-day Hindu Kush Mountains.
Yueban, from a country to a state, or from a state to a state, is a decline in the sphere of influence, the Tang Dynasty people still in the form of place names to record the final direction of the Yueban people, or the original Bayinbrook grassland of the last Xiongnu, in the process of ethnic integration and migration, from today's China's Xinjiang region into the area where today's Afghanistan is located.
What we all know is that the living environment in the area of present-day Afghanistan is harsh and harsh, but it is a good place for those tribes or peoples who have been defeated and migrated in history. The Tang Dynasty has been more than a thousand years ago, which means that the Tang Dynasty people's understanding of history is also more than a thousand years earlier than the present people, and it also means that the distance between them and the Han Dynasty is nearly a thousand years older than ours, so of course, in the place name information from YuebangGuo to Yuebanzhou, there is of course the final direction of the last Xiongnu.
In the depth and breadth of more than a thousand years, people today should believe in the Tang Dynasty and believe in the Tang Dynasty people. And this can also explain the question in many people's minds - why the Afghans look a bit like Chinese - the last Huns in the Tang Dynasty's Yueban State is also one of the answers or reasons.
