Is today's BaTie related to the Yue brothers who have been separated from China for more than 2,000 years?

The Long Road to the Western Regions of Buddhism in Eastern China (6)

Moon Buddha Kingdom (Part 1)

The Yue clan was from the ancient Qiang clan of the Western Regions of China, known as Yu Zhi in the Biography of Mu Tianzi, and was then a member of the tribal alliance of the Western Queen's Mother Country, living in the area from Zhangye to Dunhuang in the western part of the Hexi Corridor. After the Western Queen's mother country was scattered, the Yueshi people established their own portals and occupied the land as kings. Taking advantage of the unique geographical advantages and the great opportunity of the Central Plains Dynasty having no time to look west, the Yueshi people played quite elegantly, and at the time of the Qin and Han Dynasties, they almost became the boss of the Western Regions, and even became the fierce enemies of the Xiongnu who arose in the middle of the Mongolian plateau.

The Xiongnu's first historical record, Shan Mandan Yu, was forced by the dilemma of attacking on both sides of the Yue clan and Dong Hu, and had to send his son Mao Dun to the Yue clan as a hostage around 209 BC. The taste of hostage-taking should not be very good, and Mao Dun was not willing to be humiliated and waited for a long time, and found an opportunity to steal the Good Horse of the Yue Clan and flee back to the Xiongnu, killing his father and taking his own position. From him, the Xiongnu continued to annex the various ethnic groups in the north, and their power expanded dramatically. Between 205 BC and 202 BC, Liu Bang Xiangyu chased after the Central Plains, and the great war was in full swing, and Mao Dun Shan Yu raised an army to attack the Yue clan to avenge the proton.

The Yue people, who had been playing lazily in the fertile Hexi Corridor of water and grass, could not play this time, and after the defeat of the great war, they had to abandon their homes and move westwards, and around 177 BC, the weak and the strong annihilated the same kind of Wusun kingdom in the western region, killing their kings and seizing their land. The Wusun prince Hou Jiaojing had just been born, and Fu's father (the prince's master and nanny) carried him to the Xiongnu.

The Xiongnu were wild wolves growing up in northern China, and they didn't let go of their old enemies so easily. After Succeeding to the throne, Mu Dun Shan Yu's son Lao ShangDan Yu continued to hunt down and kill the Yue clan. This old Shangdan was a more ruthless character, and around 162 BC, he not only beheaded the King of the Yue Clan, but also cut off the head of the King of the Yue Clan and brought it back to the Xiongnu and made it into a drinking vessel for use.

Poor Yueshi people, the big fish eat small fish eat shrimp this rule is not unfamiliar, although they hate the Xiongnu to the bone, but did not have the will to fight a fish to break the net, had to continue to scurry west, the same with the right to speak with swords and swords, expelled the Serbs living in the Ili River Valley, and the dove occupied the magpie's nest as the new owner there. In addition, the remnants of the Yue clan who did not move west in South Vietnam were mixed with the Qiang people in qinghai, and they also left their roots behind.

Chinese history books refer to the great migration of the Yue clan to the west as the Great Moon Clan, and the remnants left behind are called the Xiao Yue Clan. Although the Moon Clan people died and fled, the nightmare did not end. By around 139 BC, the Wusun prince Hou Jiaojing had grown up to become Kun Mo, the king of Wusun, who, with the support of the Xiongnu, avenged his father and attacked the Dayue clan in the west, capturing the Ili River Valley where the Dayue clan was staying.

The Ōtsuki clan had to run like the Serbs they had driven away, crossing the Green Ridge and moving southwest, all the way to the north bank of the Amu Darya River on the border between present-day Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. The unfortunate Serbs really did not know which life they had committed sins, they had been expelled from the Ili River Valley by the Yueshi people, all the way to the sword and all the way to the blood, it was difficult to gain a foothold on the south bank of the Amu Darya River, and turned the Greek kingdom of Baktriya into their own Bactrian kingdom, where they knew that the Yueshi people who asked for their lives came with their butts, not only reoccupied Bactria, but also "divided their countries into Humi, Shuangjing, Guishuang, Xī) Dun, Dumi, and all five parts of the waiting."

Within another hundred years, Guishuang Qihouqiu attacked the other four Qihou and established himself as king, with the name Guishuang (about 1st-3rd centuries BC). From the first to the third century AD, it actually had a vast territory from present-day Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to northern India, and the capital was also moved from Lanshi City (present-day Balk, northern Afghanistan) to Fulousha (present-day Peshawar, Pakistan), and became one of the four great empires of the ancient world (Han, Kushan, Sabbath, and Rome).

The reign of the Kushan Dynasty should be the most glorious historical moment in pakistan, although most of the Yueshi people moved west to start a business here, but they had close economic and cultural ties with the Han Dynasty, and had assisted the Western Regions Capital To protect Ban Chao to pacify Shule and defeat Shache, and generally maintained a brotherly relationship. Today Chinese call Pakistan "Pakistan", and only geniuses know how much it has to do with our Moon Brothers' Guishan Empire, which has long disappeared into the dust of history.

A nation that constantly writes the history of flight, such a great reversal of great splendor, is really jaw-dropping. The so-called time is also fate, and I can't help but disbelieve. Based on the archaeological materials that have been continuously discovered, contemporary scholars speculate that the Kushan Dynasty was established by the Bactrian people who overthrew the Great Moon Clan (the first King of Jia) for a hundred years. After about fifty or sixty years of the two generations of kings of the Bactrian people (Qiu Yu and Yan Jiaozhen), they were attacked by the remnants of the Yue clan (Vesishka) who fled south to qilian Mountains, replacing Guishuang and reviving the Yue clan kingdom. If this is the case, the fate of the Moon Brothers is too bizarre, comparable to any film and television blockbuster with a plot twist. I don't know if the history of the Han Dynasty has not grasped the historical materials enough, or it is a momentary negligence that has not been studied in detail, and a sentence of "the original name, the words of the Great Moon Clan" have vaguely obscured such a large file of events, making future generations of scholars mostly confused.

Whether the Guishuang Dynasty was the bottom of the Valley of the Great Xia people who were destroyed, or the glory and dream of the Great Moon People, is left to historians to continue to investigate, and we will temporarily rely on the Han History to say that the Great Moon Clan will be stopped.

When the Eastern Han Dynasty envoy Cai Yan and his party arrived at the Great Moon Clan, it was Qiu Yi who was in the early guishang dynasty of the country. The moon is the hometown of the Ming, and the people are the relatives of the hometown. The Ōtsuki clan was more intimate and enthusiastic about the Envoys from Middle-earth. In fact, since Zhang Qian first sent an envoy to the Great Moon Clan, although the strategic intention of the Han Yue joint resistance against hungary could not be achieved, the kinship between the two sides was confirmed and strengthened, and the Great Moon Clan was extremely friendly and respectful to the Han Court from then on. When King Guishuang was informed that the Envoys of the Han Dynasty had come to worship the Buddha and ask for sutras, he was even more pleased, and immediately ordered the palace to receive him, give him a feast, and give courtesy to his superiors.

King Guishuang was a devout Buddhist believer, and while launching a war of annexation against Northern Tianzhu and incorporating the Buddhist towns of Gandhara and Gubin into the territory of Guishuang, he built a magnificent Buddhist temple stupa and gathered high monks from all over Tianzhu to sort out Buddhist scriptures, and made a wish to spread the Dharma to all nations and repay the heavens. At that time, the Ōtsuki clan seemed to consider itself a Buddhist center, actively planning to send monks to spread the Dharma everywhere, and the countries of the Western Regions were on its planning list. I really didn't expect that the Central Plains Dynasty, thousands of miles away, took the initiative to come to the door to worship the Buddha and ask for the scriptures, which made the Guishuang King flattered and overjoyed. He told Cai Yan that the Buddha was originally from Tianzhu and that now the Buddha and Tianzhu belong to Guishuang, and that when the envoy reaches Guishuang, he has arrived at the Buddha's holy place. He ordered the diplomats in charge of the reception to meet all the requirements of the Han envoys to serve the Buddha, and to hurry up the selection of senior monks who knew Chinese to go to Middle-earth to teach the Dharma.

Cai Yan was so happy! This errand was almost like hitting the great luck, and the king ordered that there was a division to do it, so naturally he did not need to bother any more. Then indulge in play, exotic, fragrant cars bmw, with the entourage to play a lot of fun.
