Shannan City is the origin of Tibetan culture, which is known as the source of sacred Tibet, the root of Tubo, the birthplace of the Tibetan nation, and the cradle of Tibetan culture. There is the first king of Tibet----- NiechiTampu; the first palace ------ Yongbulakam; the first farmland ------ Sodang; the first temple------ Samye Monastery.
The seat of Shannan's municipal government is Zedang Town, and the car riding to Zedang Town shows that it has ridden 4292 kilometers, and it is time to change the oil. There are very few shops in Shannan that have fully synthetic motor oils. My Flying Edge needed to change to fully synthetic oil, so I carried it all the way.
After maintaining the motorcycle, continue to move forward. Soon after leaving the city, I saw Yongbrakang, who was built on the top of tashi's next day mountain. The scale of the palace is very small, just a few palace-fortress buildings enclosed by walls, which is completely incomparable with the Potala Palace in Lhasa. Yongbulakang is recorded to have been built by the first Tibetan ------, Nie Chi Tsangpo, in the second century BC. During the Songtsan Gampo period, the palace was converted from a temple to a temple. When Princess Wencheng first came to Tibet, she and Songtsen Gampo lived here every summer.
The Shannan region has become the birthplace of the Tibetan nation, which is inseparable from the superior agricultural production conditions here. But I saw wildflowers blooming by the road, and barley, wheat, peas, and rapeseed growing in the fields. People use intercropping methods to produce in order to make better use of the natural environment here and obtain diverse returns. The green wheat, turquoise barley, and golden rape have also become pleasant scenery on the field.
Moving on, the general situation in the Yalong River Valley in the town of Zedang emerged. The width of the river valley is about 0.5 km, which is much narrower than the Lhasa River Valley (the Lhasa River Valley should be 2 km wide). Therefore, I think that the reason for Songtsen Gampo's move to Lhasa should be considered by spatial factors. The Lhasa River is much larger than the Yalong River in Zedang. Lhasa has a wider valley, and in addition to being suitable for growing barley, the surrounding pastures are suitable for grazing yaks. Moving the capital to Lhasa has more room for development.
The real reasons for moving the capital to Lhasa are certainly manifold. According to the information, songtsen gampo also considered the following factors: (1) avoiding the constraints of the old nobles who believed in Bon, and moving the capital to Lhasa gradually marginalized the old nobles living in Shannan. (2) Being close to the center of the Tubo ruling area is more conducive to the expansion and expansion of Tubo. (3) Form a strong deterrent to the tribes that have repeatedly rebelled in the north. (4) It is convenient to get the support of the emerging forces near Lhasa that are loyal to themselves. (5) Obtain a large number of good horses abundant near Lhasa to provide sufficient mounts for the Tibetan army.
