In Western civilization, the combination between gods and gods can produce descendants, this civilization is called "holy marriage", holy marriage is also evolving with the invasion of civilization, kings and gods or kings and priestesses, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylonian civilization has a "holy marriage" culture.
However, the earliest "holy marriage" is the origin of Mesopotamia, which pushed the Mesopotamian civilization to the peak of Babylon, and Babylon was conquered by Cyrus the Great, and eventually the Persian Empire combined with the Babylonian civilization, making Persia the only center of civilization in ancient West Asia.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of The Wei and Jin Dynasties, China had friendly exchanges with Persia, and the Book of Wei also records that Persian emissaries traveled to Andromeda dozens of times, but even when the most powerful empire declined, the Persian Empire was defeated by arab armies, and in 651, Balus, the son of the last emperor of the Sassanid Dynasty, fled to China to ask for tang Gaozong's assistance.
However, Emperor Gaozong of Tang eventually refused on the grounds that the road was far away, but out of friendship he was escorted back to Afghanistan to establish the Persian Capital, and Balus became the local governor, that is, a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, and the Balus family also developed and grew, and many Persian royal families came to Chang'an to worship, and Chang'an also established a Persian Hu Temple.
In 1995, Xi'an unearthed a Tang tomb, according to some excavated documents, this Tang tomb is the Tang Dynasty Four Left Divine Strategist Army Scattered Soldiers and Horses Envoy Su Yu and his wife Ma Shi joint burial tomb, and strange, there are two tombstones, one of which is written in Chinese, the other is written in Persian.
In some literature, experts know that Su Yu was originally a Persian prince, although Su Yu accepted the position and culture of the Tang Dynasty, but it is clear that this Persian prince still retains the Persian tradition, just after deciphering persian, the record of the epitaph makes the expert change his face instantly.
The Han inscription reads: Zuo Shen Ce Army Scattered Soldiers and Horses Envoy Su forgive his wife Ma Shi, he was born, at the age of 26, died in the fifteenth year of Xiantong, the 28th day of the Xin Dynasty, the twenty-eighth day of Ding Weishen.
The Persian inscription reads: The tomb of this royal deceased, the cavalry of the Left God's Army, Su Yu Ma xishi, died in the month of the founding of the victorious monarch Xiantong on December 5, 15 years old, at the age of twenty-six, and wished to return to the side of the supreme god Ahula Mazda, to live eternally in a very beautiful paradise and rest in peace.
The two pieces have different records about the people who were buried together with Su Yu, the Chinese say that Su Yu's wife, Persian said that Su Yu was the daughter, Persian holy marriage has always been circulated, in the "Northern History" there are: "mostly sisters as wives and concubines, from the rest of the marriage" record, at this time the Persian holy marriage system belongs to a kind of close relatives marriage.
Tang Dynasty honorifics, close relatives belong to the crime of "civil unrest" and will be sentenced to death, but Su Yu is also a Persian, attaches importance to tradition, and naturally hides it from the Tang Dynasty, but the Persians believe that this is the tradition of "holy marriage", and it is naturally recorded.
