When I went to the door, I found that the jiaohe ancient city was actually the first batch of state security units, only because it was called the ancient city of Yar Lake in the national security list, and it was absolutely unique to become the first batch of national security in 1961, and it would not be wasted.

From the 2nd to the 5th century BC, it was the first capital city built and capitalized by the Western Regions;
During the Western Han Dynasty, there were many wars fought by the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu here, and it was also the first time that the Central Plains Dynasty extended its sphere of influence here;
During the Tang Dynasty, it was upgraded and transformed according to the layout of Chang'an, and it was also the seat of the Tang'an Western Capital Protectorate, and the ancient city entered the glory and reached a high-light moment, and now the ruins are mostly from Tang;
The Song Dynasty suppressed the culture and martial arts, had no time to look west, interrupted the exchange between China and the West, established the Buddhist state in the ancient city, and still water flowed deeply, and the country was peaceful and peaceful;
The destruction of the Yuan Dynasty became more and more serious, especially during the reign of the Eastern Chagatai Khan, which was attacked by Islam and forced to change its faith, and gradually declined.
The ancient city has traveled through thousands of years, its fate has been turbulent, it has experienced dynastic changes, current events have changed, and it has sunk into the wilderness for thousands of years, and the reason why it has been preserved so well is that the dry sky and dry land are the main reasons.

Although it has been crippled by thousands of years, different functional areas such as monasteries, official offices, and private houses are still clearly recognizable, and are themselves a beautifully carved work.
Moving down to build a house, in turpan's hot climate, but also play a cooling role in the summer, facing the ancient city, can't help but admire the builder's skill and wisdom coexist.
