As a famous chinese monk, Xuanzang's story is well known, but people are more familiar with his other name, Tang Monk, and the real him is almost uncared for and no one knows. Xuanzang became a monk at the age of 13, and Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but when he traveled around, Xuanzang found that the classics of various places were different, and in 629, he set out from Chang'an and traveled to Tianzhu through various places, not only bringing back countless scriptures, but also compiling the observations of the journey into a book called "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
One of these countries is constantly on xuanzang's lips, and it is the shupantuo kingdom. It is said that the kingdom of Shupantuo has quite a relationship with the Central Plains.
Before the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty rarely had peace affairs, at most it was only a marriage between the two countries, and there were many disadvantages and benefits. The change in the nature of peace and affinity was in the Han Dynasty, during the chaotic war in the Central Plains, the Xiongnu took advantage of the situation, and when they were cultivating and recuperating, there was a regime that often came to harass, which made Liu Bang feel exhausted and miserable. In the case of not being able to defeat the Xiongnu, Liu Bang resolutely decided to send the princess to the Xiongnu and marry them forever.
This humble situation continued until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when Huo went ill and brave in battle, defeated the Xiongnu, and suddenly reversed the situation between the two regimes. And this time the marriage has a bit of a rewarding meaning. After the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's peace and pro-pro policy developed very strongly, and their main peace object was Tubo. However, in Xuanzang's Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty, a special and intimate affair is recorded, which is closely related to the birth of the Shupantuo Kingdom.
After the opening of the Silk Road, the Central Plains and the marginal countries often communicated with each other, and on one occasion, the Sabbath State prayed to the Han Dynasty to marry the princess and kiss her. The princess was far away from Persia, and the road was far away, and the emperor sent a large-scale escort, fearing that something accident would happen to the princess and affect the friendship between the two countries.
The team of he and his relatives set out from Chang'an in a mighty way, all the way to the boat, cautious, but still unstoppable bad generals. While passing through the Karachi Gorge, they suddenly encounter bandits. Despite their large numbers, they knew that they could not fight the bandits, so they found a steep hill and settled the princess on it, while they guarded day and night to prevent the bandits from suddenly appearing. In order to ensure the safety of the princess, they were stationed at the foot of the mountain almost all the time, and every day they hoisted their food and drinks to the mountain with ropes.
Finally, the bandit rebellion subsided, and the guards went on the road with joy, only to find a shocking thing, the princess was pregnant! At this time, the princess was silent and unwilling to explain more, but fortunately the maids around her told the "truth", she said that when the princess was at the top of the mountain, she met a person who landed from the sun on a white horse and came to the mountain every day to meet the princess. In their opinion, this child is a "Hanri God".
Pregnant with a princess, it seemed risky to send her to Persia, and it was equally dangerous to send her back to the Han Dynasty, when everyone was caught in a dilemma, but a soldier inadvertently resolved this embarrassment. They decided to set up camp on the spot, build a palace here, and establish the princess as king, and since then they have multiplied here, and the country is called the Kingdom of Shupantuo.
In order to consolidate the western frontier, the Tang Dynasty took many measures, and in the conquest of the border, the state of Lipantuo was recaptured by the Tang Dynasty, and a guard of the Green Ridge was established here. In 1759, Qianlong quelled the rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo, and officially established a military and administrative capital here, which had long since become part of China.
