Don't be mistaken, it's a treasure, not a treasure. Treasures exist innately, and the traces of the life of the Loulan people in those days have the smell of treasures today.
But treasure is different, treasure is hidden treasure.
The Treasure of Loulan is the treasure that the Loulan people hid when they still existed, this matter has been controversial for more than 100 years since Sven Hedin discovered Loulan, some people have sworn that there is, and they have poured into the boundless yellow sand to find it, even if they lose their lives; some people scoff, thinking that the former is simply dizzy, where is there any Loulan Treasure!
Now, let's analyze it, in the end, is there a Loulan treasure?
Is it possible for the Loulan people to hide treasures?
As we said earlier, Loulan, to be precise, can be regarded as a subjugated country when King Bilong led 4,000 Loulan residents to flee in 443 AD. Then, if there is a treasure hidden, there are only two possibilities: first, it was hidden before Bilong left; second, it was hidden after Bilong left.
King Bilong walked very suddenly, as mentioned earlier, there is a conversation between him and his son in the "Biography of the Western Regions of Wei", which shows that he still had an account with his prince before he left. Although this explanation was vague, it also showed that he was still very clear-headed at that time, would such a king find a place to bury some bulky things that were not suitable for taking away after leaving Loulan City for later? Knowing that it was not easy to move around the desert at that time, how many things could they bring? What can't be moved is left to the enemy, or hide it and wait for the future to come back to get it, I believe that people with brains will choose the latter!
Speaking of the second possibility, did Zhenda hide some treasure? I think there is! As early as the first time An Zhou broke the city, Zhen Da had already been tied up and surrendered once, but An Zhou did not do anything to him, even the residents of the city did not massacre anything, but quickly led the army north to Gaochang, this An Zhou was definitely not a bodhisattva heart attack, but felt that Loulan City had no need to stay, which was very interesting. Why is there no need to stay in Loulan City? Lack of food is one of the affirmations, to know that Bilong took away 4,000 households, that is, at least 20,000 people, and Anzhou's army is only 5,000 people, there is no possibility of not being able to accommodate it, then, the reason why Anzhou left, in addition to the food problem, I can't think of any other reason.
Of course, the vast majority of the grain must have been taken away by Bi Long, so what was the reason why An Zhou did not kill in Loulan City? It was certain that he had attained some aspect of satisfaction, and this satisfaction made him tolerant and spared Zhenda and his subjects.
If there is treasure to supplement the shortage of food, I think it should be normal for an anchou to react. Zhenda must have opened the treasure house in the palace, making An Zhou full of satisfaction, so that he could save himself and his subjects, but after learning that there would soon be robbers breaking into his home and robbing and putting all the treasures on the surface for him to grab, was such a stupid thing anyone doing? Would Zhenda be so stupid?
It should not be so stupid, because after An Zhou left, Zhenda leisurely became king for two years, and then took prisoner again when the Northern Wei army approached the city. During these two years of kingship, Zhenda did not live in poverty, but should still maintain the basic standard of a lord of a country, and what was this level maintained? Rely on ann zhou's kindness? That's obviously more unreliable than hoping for red rain on the old days!
Well, the miserable Zhenda has since become a member of the Yan family who left his hometown and went to the country (all the remnants of the Loulan-Shanshan kingdom and their descendants are surnamed Yan), which is confirmed by the epitaph of his grandson Yan Qian. Then, the Han Andibial Money unearthed in Luoyang also proved that Zhenda did not arrive in Northern Wei without a penny, he at least left a little hometown for his descendants, of course, this money can not be used!
As a captive, can Jinda still keep his belongings? I think that maybe the general Wan Qian was very kind, maybe he really reached the Northern Wei dynasty as an official, and after becoming a general, he sent someone back to get it, no matter what the situation, this proves that Zhenda hid the treasure when He came to An Zhou, otherwise where did all this money that appeared in Luoyang come from?
Then some people will say that even if Zhenda hid the treasure, he was taken away by himself, doesn't this mean that there is no difference? Not the same! The author said so much is not nonsense, since Zhenda can hide treasures, it means that the Loulan people at that time had a sense of treasure hiding, Zhenda's treasure was taken away, what about others?
There is a very interesting record that when the Country of Loulan was broken, a group of Loulan people migrated to Gaochangguo, where an ancient city called "Nazhi" lived for 200 years. Around the time of the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Yan Futuo, who led some descendants of the remnants of the Loulan Kingdom back to Lop Nur, the place where their ancestors lived. What is the cause? It is said that life in Nashi City was too boring, but these people later returned to Nashi City because they could not stand the bad weather of Lop Nur and soon returned to Nashi City.
Forgive my conspiracy theories, I always feel that if it is the descendants who need to be grateful for their ancestors, then it is not a big deal to go back to the ancestral land once in a while. It's like ancestor worship that often occurs in our Chinese civilization. But this is obviously not the case, he made preparations for long-term settlement, otherwise there is no need to record it. But this long-term settlement has not been realized, so what is the purpose of his going to his ancestral land? Does it have anything to do with the treasures of the Loulan people? Well, I myself tend to suspect that this incident itself is a proof that the Loulan people have hidden treasures.
Is there a lot of gold in the treasures of the Loulan people?
Well, as we said before, the Loulan people may have hidden a lot of treasure before the destruction of the country, and the treasure hidden before Bilong's disappearance is estimated to be a big number, but the disappearance of him and 4,000 Loulan residents has made the location of the treasure unknown and become a mystery for eternity. But this does not prevent us from guessing what is in the treasure of the Loulan people!
Among them, I mainly want to know, is there a large number of gold ornaments in the treasures of the Loulan people? Why is there such a conjecture? Because of the Otsuki clan people. In the early history of the world, the Cypriots' love of gold had reached a very high level, and the Otsuki, as a member of the West Branch Cypriots, also inherited and continued this preference. The most famous evidence is the "Golden Hill" excavated in November 1978 by the Academic Archaeological Survey of the Former Soviet Union and Afghanistan in the Shibalgan region of Afghanistan, near the border of the former Soviet Union. Among them, a large number of gold jewelry has been excavated, about 20,000 pieces, so the concentrated excavation of such a large amount of gold, coupled with the exquisite workmanship of gold jewelry and its rich cultural meaning, is rare in the world.
The Golden Hill Cemetery is only 70 kilometers east of the Lanshi Castle, the capital of the Ōtsuki clan, and belongs to the western outskirts of the capital of the Ōtsuki clan. Many researchers have pointed out that the Golden Hill is the burial place of the Ōtsuki clan. A considerable number of works in the works produced in the cemetery reflect the theme of the dragon, such as the earrings of the Double Dragon Guardian King in Tomb No. 2, the scabbard of the dragon pattern in Tomb No. 4, and the dragon foot bracelet on Tombs No. 5 and No. 6, which are all manifestations of the worship of the dragon god of the Ōtsuki clan. This is one of its supporting evidences.
In his early years, the Ōtsuki clan was the hegemon of the West, and the Xiongnu also submitted to it, but later they were expelled by the Xiongnu and moved west. Soon after the Ōtsuki clan moved west to Bactria itself, it split into 5 separatist regimes, known in history as the "Marquis of the Ōtsuki clan". Judging from the distribution of its territory, the Golden Hill Cemetery should belong to the territory of the Marquis of Guishuang. Many experts speculate that this tomb of one man and five women should be the tomb of the father of King Qiu Yi and his wives and concubines who later established the Guishang Dynasty.
Well, just one of the five Marquises of the Great Moon Clan, The Tomb of The Marquis of Guishuang can bury as many as 20,000 exquisitely crafted gold ornaments, which is enough to prove the golden plot of the Ōtsuki clan, so does the Loulan people who are related to the Ōtsuki clan have such a plot?
Since modern archaeology, neither Sven Hedin, Stein, nor the Japanese Tachibana Ruichao have found a large number of gold ornaments in the Guloulan area! Or does the Loulan people seem to have no such special hobby?
However, as we said earlier, after the fall of the Kushan Dynasty (it existed for less than 200 years in total), some of the remnants of the Great Moon Clan moved east, and it was the Loulan people who accepted them.
Well, even if the Loulan people did not have the special hobbies of their relatives, what about the Ōtsuki people who moved east? Did they quit this hobby after experiencing the great changes in the country? Did these People of the Great Moon Clan bring only the Loulan people only such a script as Li Luwen? The Loulan people so happily accepted the Ōtsuki script as their official script, in addition to the convenience of writing the Ulu script (for Chinese characters), because they also worshiped the civilization of the Ōtsuki clan?
As we said, the Loulan people are a people who love to learn, and at this time, the Dayue people who migrated east should also have mastered a relatively advanced civilization. Among the artifacts unearthed in the Golden Hill, the gold jewelry has a gold purity of 70%, and the largest collar weighs 850 grams. The production process is complex, and the mold turning, engraving, and hollowing can be done everything. The forms of expression include circular carvings, as well as high reliefs and bas-reliefs. Most are inlaid with turquoise, lapis lazuli and carnelian chalcedony, as well as a variety of gemstones, which have high craftsmanship value and are masterpieces of ancient arts and crafts. Moreover, the bronze mirror excavated from the tomb carries a Chinese inscription, and the entire tomb shows the characteristics of the fusion of Han culture, Greco-Roman culture, Bactrian culture, and Indian culture.
Such a person of the Great Moon Clan, after more than 200 years, came to the middle of the Loulan people, and it was simply inevitable that they would be worshipped by the Loulan people, and then, what are the characteristics of the star-chasing clan? It's based on idol preferences! So without saying a word, Lu Wen - even if the whole world does not use it, we will use it as the official text! Even if the Loulan people didn't like gold before, they have to like it now!
Where is the treasure of the Loulan people
Well, having said all that, we have come to believe that somewhere in the desert there is a huge sum of money, and there are many shiny treasures hidden there waiting to be discovered, so where is this place? Don't say you don't know, so wait to accept the anger of the reader!
Well, I said I know where this place is, do you believe it? If only I knew, I wouldn't have dug up that treasure and hid it in my house!
However, I don't know exactly where it is, but it is still okay to provide you with a few possible locations!
As we said earlier, don't think about Zhenda's treasure, there is nothing left! Well, let's mainly think about Biron and the residents of Loulan he took! Someone said, aren't those people missing? No one has been looking for them for so long, and who knows where their treasure is! There is a misunderstanding here, Bilong's treasure may not have disappeared with him, we said that people on the road of the Cangshang Emperor often bury some things that are not easy to take away in the future, and these buried things are treasures. It is clear that Bilong's treasure will not be in only one location, there is one near Loulan City, and his son Zhenda may also know this place, and this location is likely to coincide with Zhenda's treasure place, so we will leave it alone. The most important thing is another place, which is related to the direction in which the history books record bilong fled at that time - west to the end!
It can be said that the Book of Wei will not be arbitrarily recorded, and although Song Yun, who passed by and died decades later, did not see Bi Long and his descendants of his subjects, it does not mean that Bi Long had not been to the end. At that time, there were only about 100 families living in the water and grass at the end of the year, but there was a big city nearby, with abandoned temples and highly skilled murals, all of which were written in Song Yun's travelogue, and later Tang Xuanzang also saw the big city, and he wrote in the Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty that the abandoned "city Guo Guoran, the population is cut off." It shows that It is very likely that Biron really arrived at the end and built a castle there, but for some unknown reason, gave up decades later, and moved away without a trace.
The vicinity of this ancient and last city, known as the capital of Loulan, is likely to be the site of Bilong's second treasure. For nearly 100 years, countless people have hoped to find it, but unfortunately no one has been able to find it!
In the 1950s, on their way back from an exploration mission, a geo-survey team encountered a strange place, a huge castle ruin with walls and temple buildings, and some tall buildings suspected to be the residences of princes and nobles. Since the supply of this team was only the last day, everyone did not dare to stay too long, and left early the next morning, and since then, the city has not been found!
Many experts speculate that this is the ancient and last city suspected to be the capital of Loulan, and the evidence is: First, according to the recollection of the exploration team, it is 66 kilometers north of Tattijang Township, which is consistent with the historical records that the last city was 60 kilometers deep into the desert due to the desert's advance into the ancient city; second, the exploration team found traces of an ancient river channel on its west side, which is consistent with the historical records that it was on the east bank of the ancient and late river. Therefore, it should be the last ancient city mentioned by Xuanzang, but unfortunately, even if the explorers left the coordinates at that time: 85 degrees 38 minutes 40 east longitude and 39 degrees 4 minutes 40 north latitude, no one could meet it again!
Perhaps, the next person to have a relationship is you!
