The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
Since the Han Dynasty, the ancients have had a truce policy, and this policy has always been controversial, that is, peace and affinity, for the sake of the people to reduce casualties, consume materials, men can not solve the things, can only let women out of the horse. Throughout the entire historical dynasty, this is also a contest of wisdom between the Xiongnu frontier peoples and the Culture of the Central Plains.
The most famous person who said and kissed is Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Wencheng was originally named Li Yan'er, born in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, intelligent and generous, beautiful and lovely, educated by the royal family from childhood, at that time, following Li Shimin's holy will, traveling a long distance to marry the distant Tubo, which shows her righteous and awe-inspiring character. Tubo is completely different from our living environment and customs, and it is tantamount to a makeover.
At that time, Tang Taizong felt that a marriage could sacrifice countless troops less, so why not enjoy it. He is very much advocating this kind of political concept of giving up a small family for everyone. In the fourteenth year of Zhenguan, Songzan Gampo came to Chang'an tirelessly and brought a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, just to marry the world power Tang Dynasty, climb this powerful country, and let himself have something to rely on. Li Shimin thought about reducing the war. Songtsen Gampo is also a famous hero of ethnic minorities, living in the valley of the Brahmaputra River, fighting bravely, and then unifying Tibetan areas and sitting in the position of monarch. Of course, Li Shimin was very optimistic about him, so Princess Wencheng married Songzan Gampo, who was in her twenties, when she was a teenager.
In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, Li Daozong personally escorted Princess Wencheng from Chang'an to Tubo. Songtsen Gampo greeted him in Qinghai, held a wedding of the century, and returned to Tubo with Princess Wencheng. At that time, Tang Taizong's dowry to Princess Wencheng was extremely luxurious, dozens of times more expensive than the dowry of Tubo: various treasures, Buddha statues, cultural books, medical treatment, farming methods.
What everyone does not know is that ancient and pro, is not allowed to carry silk, and crop seeds. Even in the Tang Dynasty, these production techniques were strictly confidential, but Princess Wencheng was able to bring a large number of them to remote areas, which reflected Tang Taizong's emphasis and trust in Songzan Gampo. Later, after Princess Wencheng stabilized there, she began to change the way of life of the Tubo people. Hype farming, Tubo culture from primitive to modern, Songzan Gampo was very happy, and ordered his courtiers to humbly learn poetry and etiquette from the Tang Dynasty's entourage, and later specially let the children of the family go to the Tang Dynasty to study seriously, and introduce good culture into their own country.
With Princess Wencheng to Tubo agricultural experts, carefully teach the Tubo people to farm, the central plains grain species in the plateau area, when the harvest time, a large amount of grain to the Tubo people surprised, although the Tubo people also plant barley, buckwheat, but they will not manage, the yield is naturally very low. Seeing such a high yield, the psychology is sincerely admired by the Han people's super high level of planting grain. After Songtsen Gampo enlisted princess Wencheng's consent, agricultural experts began to spread the method of farming, allowing them to harvest abundant food while grazing their cattle. In particular, the technology of silk was passed on to them by raising silkworms in mulberry leaves, so Tubo could also make their own silk fabrics.
After Li Shimin's death, Emperor Gaozong of Tang succeeded to the throne and made Songzan Gampo the King of Xihai County, and rewarded him with gold and silver, poetry books, grains, and ornaments from Princess Wencheng. Songtsen Gampo said: The emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and if there are unfaithful courtiers, I will definitely bring troops to go on a crusade. Emperor Gaozong of Tang was very happy and directly made him the King of Bin. Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Songtsen Gampo had the technique of asking for wine, and pen, ink and paper. The emperor agreed. Driven by Princess Wencheng, at that time the Tang Dynasty and Tubo reached the point of water and milk.
In the first year of Yonghui, Songzan Gampo died, but Princess Wencheng stayed there, because he had already fallen in love with the people there, and the people loved her. She designed the Jokhang and Jokhang Temples in Tibet. Under the image of Princess Wencheng, the economy and culture of Tibet have undergone great changes, and the friendship between the Han and Tibetan people has become deeper, which can be said to have made great contributions.
