Which country has discovered its own undocumented history from Chinese historical sources?
When I saw this question, I directly thought of India: many of the records of "Tianzhu" in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" are not found in Indian history, but archaeological evidence is credible.

But looking back and thinking about it, I think this statement is still problematic.
Tianzhu is the collective name for ancient China and other East Asian countries, today's India and other Indian subcontinent countries. But if Tianzhu is equivalent to India, it is lost by a thousand miles.

The Indian subcontinent civilization originated very early, earlier than the Yin Shang period proved by Chinese archaeology, and is about similar to the legendary Five Emperors and Three Emperors period.
However, by the middle of the Shang Dynasty in China, the Aryans, a nomadic tribe from Central Asia, had created the Vedic civilization in the Indian subcontinent. In the following "era of Indian nations", there were "sixteen heroic kingdoms".

Roughly equivalent to the Eastern Han Dynasty in China, the Yueshi people from Central Asia established the Kushan Empire. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a tribe called Sri Gupta in the lower reaches of the Ganges Arose and established the Gupta Dynasty, but died due to foreign invasions and re-entered a state of dispersion. The Jieri Dynasty had emissaries with the Tang Dynasty, but it was not a unified dynasty.
Well, the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is a record of the insights edited by the Tang monk Xuanzang, and it is only possible to record the history of India in this period and before it.

Thereafter, the Rajputs established a series of states in the Ganges Valley; Muslim conquest of North India at the end of the 12th century; Around the time of the Yuan Dynasty, north-central India was ruled by two sultanates; The Mongols also came, the Turks also came, and other races also came.

Ancient India did not establish a unified dynasty and a unified culture, and the various people and horses that came to India left indelible traces of Indian culture and race.
The complexity of india's ethnicity today is probably second only to Brazil. It is unclear how many Indians are now descendants of ancient Indians.

What is recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" is the history of India, but it is not necessarily the history of Indians (now), let alone the history of India as a country - after 1947, India became a country. #历史 #
