Loulan beauty refers to the excavation of a female dry corpse by Mu Shunying in 1980, known as "Loulan Beauty" in history. It is the earliest ancient corpse unearthed in Xinjiang so far, with a history of about 3,800 years.
The woman was scientifically determined to be about forty-five years old at the time of her death, and her height before her death was 1. 55 meters, now weighs 10. 1 kg, blood type O, when unearthed, she was lying on her back in a typical wind-eroded sandy earthen platform, the top of the tomb covered with branches, reeds, side horns, grass baskets and so on. The ancient corpse is dressed in coarse wool fabric and sheepskin, and has fur boots sewn with thick thread. The hair is more than a foot long, yellow-brown, rolled up in a pointed felt hat, the hat is inserted with several feathers, the skin color is reddish brown and elastic, the eyes are deep, the bridge of the nose is high and narrow, the chin is pointed, and it has distinct Europa ethnic characteristics.
The exact type of ethnic group represented by the corpse, and whether they were indigenous or migrated from other places during their lifetime, is still widely debated in the archaeological community.
This is the definition of Loulan beauty today, although the archaeological community is still controversial, but as far as the existing historical data is concerned, there is no doubt that Loulan beauty is an ancient Qiang person.
First, I am mistaken about the object of the war
The Ancient Qiang people were an important group living in the area west of the Longshan Mountains in present-day China during the ancient times. The Ancient Qiang are not a single ethnic group, but a collective term for many different ethnic groups in the west. They have different cultures, traditions, customs, costumes, languages, and so on. The only thing in common is that zhuoshui grass lives by. Migration and agriculture are the mainstays, so the ancient Qiang people and the Qiang people are not the same concept. During the Shang Dynasty, the Yin people collectively referred to many tribes in western China as the "Qiang Fang".
This is the definition we give to the ancient Qiang people today. Qiangfang, also known as Yangfang, is an ancient Asian people. Qiangfang was in the area of present-day Shaanxi and Gansu. Together with Qianglong, Beiqiang, Maqiang, etc., they are collectively known as Qiang. During the Wuding dynasty, the country was strong and powerful, and 13,000 soldiers led by women and good men fought against the Qiang side, capturing a large number of Qiang people as slaves, and often being sacrificed as sacrifices.
For this period of historical record, many people today have a rough interpretation: there was a people living in the Xinjiang region at that time, called the Scythians, which is also a branch of the Aryans. The Aryans settled here for a long time after migrating to the Xinjiang region of present-day China, forming what is known today as the Scythians. Later, the Scythians gradually continued to expand eastward, and their range of activities gradually reached the peak, touching the place where the Shang Dynasty was located and reaching the Yellow River Loop area. The Shang Dynasty went out on a campaign to this end, won the war, and captured a large number of Scythians. The Shang Dynasty people treated these Scythians as slaves and even used them as companions for burial, which is why there are many Caucasian skeletons in the burial pits of the princes and nobles of the Shang Dynasty. The Shang Dynasty troops led by The Shang King Wuding's wife, Lady Hao, defeated the Scythian attack, ensuring the tranquility of the Shang Dynasty and the safety of the Chinese nation.
Our point is that this battle should be, and the Caucasian bones in the merchant's cemetery are the best proof. However, the target of the attack was obviously mistaken, and the "Bu Ci" recorded: Dengnu hao three thousand Deng brigade ten thousand Qiang. That is to say, it is the ancient Qiang people who are good at fighting women, and the ancient Qiang people are not lacking in the records of the white race in the ancient history books of our country, such as the Qiang people who have an indistinguishable blood relationship with the Qiang people, and there have been many white people in our later history.
In our legend, shennong's tribal alliance is dominated by primitive Han-Tibetan components, that is to say, qiang and Han are homologous. In modern scientific research, this group does not exclude some proto-European or Altai components. That is to say, it is normal to have white people in China, and it is also normal for Loulan beauties who are ancient Qiang people to have caucasian characteristics.
Second, it has been beautiful for 4,000 years
It is said that the Aryans were the shredders of world civilization, and the four ancient civilizations, the Aryans destroyed three. Some people in China therefore say that without a good wife, China's end is unimaginable. The truth is that "Aryan" is the most controversial term in archaeology. "Aryans" were originally Indo-Iranian self-identifyers, referring to a cultural and linguistic group, not an ethnic group. Nineteenth-century scholars misappropriated the word, making it synonymous with all Indo-Europeans, and carrying it with racial connotations that the original users never thought.
The Americans got a copy of the world's ethnographic genetic map (Y chromosome), which embarrassed those who held this statement: Aryan genes account for 19.5% of modern Germans. And in Russians, Aryan genes account for 47%. The highest Aryan composition is in Poland, where it exceeds 50%. Among the Indo-European speakers in India, Aryan genes account for 39.5%. The inferior Slavic (Russian, Ukrainian, Polish) peoples that Hitler dreamed of eliminating were actually real Aryans.
Americans believe that Slavs are the true Aryans in terms of genes, that is, from chromosomes. The proportion of Aryan genes in Europe decays from east to west and from north to south. It accounts for 31% of Norwegians. In Italy, there is almost none.
Our history is like this: pre-Qin documents such as Mozi and Liezi all mention that the Qiang people practiced cremation, and cremation was not a custom of the Han and Tibetans, but from Indo-Aryans, which had been cremated for a long time, and the Iranian-Aryans had also practiced cremation before Zoroastrianism was spread.
Due to the relationship between burial customs, the remains of the Qiang people and even the Xirong people are difficult to preserve, and some archaeological relics identified as the remains of the pre-Qin and Qiang cultures today, such as the Siwa culture and the Xindian culture, are located in the Hexi Corridor, during which many clay pots containing ashes were found, but the remains were very few, and the only few identified as "Mongol races", but this is probably not the remains of the Qiang people who practiced cremation; and the other cultural relics remains are more similar to the style of many cultural relics in Xinjiang that have been confirmed to belong to the remains of Indo-Europeans, so therefore, There is also evidence of the qiang's close relationship with the Indo-Europeans in archaeological findings.
The modern human genome basically proves the migration history of the world's peoples, and also overturns what used to seem to be the truth, but some things make people think that history may be more humorous, and the Loulan beauty who is considered to be white was not cremated in that era, she has been beautiful for 4,000 years. Can we tell who she is? China's West - "QiangFang"; Chinese Western people - Qiang people.
Third, the records of the historical books have been ignored
Ms. Mu Shunying, who discovered Loulan's beauty, who died in 2008, was the first Chinese woman to break into Lop Nur and worked in the Institute of Archaeology of the Xinjiang Branch of Sciences, the Archaeological Team of the Xinjiang Museum, the Institute of Archaeology of the Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences, and the Xinjiang Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. In April 1980, taking advantage of CCTV's filming of the "Ancient Silk Road" TV film, Mu Shunying led an expedition team from Yumen Pass along the Great Wall of Han to Houkeng and then entered the "no man's land" of The Rob Desert.
"When I camped overnight, the tents were tied to cars, and I spent the night in the tents, and the wind blew all night," she said. The sound of whistling, like a mountain shaking. The body kept shaking, and I was really worried that the wind would blow the car away. When they woke up the next morning, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Entering the Lop Nur desert, everyone's face is full of gray sand, and everyone looks like 'land lord'. Due to the lack of water, here we quickly learned to wash our hands with sand, wash our feet, wash our faces, and even use sand to wash dishes. ”
In this interest, Mu Shunying also had a small luxury, that is, to find the Dragon City recorded in the "Notes on the Water Classic".
In the "Notes on the Water Classics", it is said that the river water is east and is noted in The Water, that is, the so-called Puchang Haiye in the "Classics". The northeast of Shui Ji Shan and the southwest of Longcheng. Dragon City, so Jiang Lai's void, Hu's great country also. Puchang overflowed, covering its country, the city foundation still existed and became large, the west gate of the morning hair, and the east gate of the twilight. On the shore of the cliff, the wind blows, slightly salty dragon shape, facing the sea in the west, because of the name Dragon City.
The river, which the ancients thought was the Yellow River, was actually the Tarim River, and The Shuze and Puchanghai were Lop Nur . Shanshan is not what we call today The ancient Loulan Kingdom should be the location of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, which is a small country on the ancient Silk Road, located in the west of Lop Nur and at the hub of the Western Region, and the scope of the kingdom extends from the vicinity of GuyangGuan in the east, to the ancient city of Niya in the west, to the Arjin Mountains in the south, and to Hami in the north. It occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road. This is the account of the Han Dynasty, before the Han Dynasty, what was here, how many countries or tribes, no one can say clearly.
The information recorded in the "Notes on the Water Classic" is very rich, "The cliff shore, the residual wind blows, and the slightly salty dragon shape" tells people about the formation of the Yadan landform, which was first washed out by the flood and then carved by the wind, and there was a strange shape. Mu Shunying said that the expedition team stayed for 4 days in the bend of the Teppan River at the northern end of Lop Nur. After investigation, it was clear that the "Dragon City" was originally an image of the ancients attaching to this strange "Yadan" landform with many earthen earthen walls at the northern end of Lop Nur . Here, they excavated an exposed ancient tomb, which was the discovery of the "Guloulan Beauty" that caused a sensation in the world at that time.
"Attached" is good, and the "Notes on the Water Classic" also says that its land is vast and thousands of miles, and it is all salt and strong. Pedestrians, livestock are covered in felt. Digging underneath it, there is a large salt, square like a giant pillow, with secondary tiredness, fog-like clouds floating, little star, less birds, more ghosts. Meaning, few people pass by here, it is a vast saline land, even can dig out large chunks of salt, livestock production also have to lay a piece of felt cloth for it, the sky is dark, there are many legends of demons and ghosts.
It is precisely in this legend that later generations seem to have ignored this record of the "Notes on the Water Classics": Dragon City, so Jiang Lai's void, Hu Zhiguo's great country also. Puchang overflowed, covering its country, the city foundation still existed and became large, the west gate of the morning hair, and the east gate of the twilight. It means that Longcheng is the residential area of the ancient Qiang people, and the Qiang people's surname is Jiang, "the ruins of Jiang Lai", which means "the ruins of the city Guo built by the qiang leaders". The Dragon City was once spectacular, but it was later flooded by Lop Nur and the ruins were still so large that it took a whole day to walk from the West Gate to the East Gate.
The dragon city of natural style and the dragon city of humanistic history are "coincidental" here, in this coincidence, the beautiful woman of Loulan is draped in a lot of mysterious colors in the dragon city of natural style, but at the age of 3800, she has entered the sequence of ancient Qiang people on the dragon city of humanistic history. She was in Xinjiang, China, in the ruins of the city guo built by the Qiang leaders. (Text/Lu Sheng)
