4,000 years ago, King Mu of Zhou marched 25,000 miles

Lost History in Ancient Tombs (II)

King Mu was not afraid of the difficulties of the expedition, and the thousands of rivers and mountains were just waiting for idleness.

This is not a joke, but according to the data recorded in the history books, twenty-five thousand miles, King Mu of Zhou, in order to find out the mysterious Kunlun, really walked to the Kunlun Mountains with his legs and met the goddess in his heart- the head of the matrilineal clan in the Kunlun region, the Queen Mother of the West.

The author of "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" is who, the world has different opinions on this, some say that Mu Tianzi wrote it himself, otherwise the content could not be so vivid and informative, everywhere reveals that the author must have had personal experience, and some said that it is estimated that Mu Tianzi dictated to a minister with deeper attainments after returning from the Western Regions, because the king usually has a political leader to deal with, it is really impossible, and it is reasonable to find someone to ghostwrite.

But in any case, this book must have an extremely close relationship with Mu Tianzi, an emperor with an empty belly, it is absolutely impossible to weave and create a beautiful text, detailed description, and at the same time, the history, geography, nationalities, culture, customs and customs, cultural landscapes and the exchanges between the western region and the Central Plains in the pre-Qin period are almost vividly displayed in the book, so no matter who it is, if there is no generous and profound ideological concept, this "Biography of Mu Tianzi" will definitely not appear in the world.

However, judging from the historical records, Mu Tianzi's western tour, in addition to his own germination of ideas, was also influenced and inspired by his subordinates at that time.

This proves a sentence:

Regardless of the era, the intelligent interaction and exchange between the upper, lower and the monarch must have a benign effect.

Who is this vassal?

He was the official in charge of military, administrative, and diplomatic affairs in the Hetao region at that time, and he was also a feudal official trusted by the imperial court and Mu Tianzi.

This feudal governor has a very good reputation in the Hetao region and the western region, and he will never rely on the respect of a big country to ignore the people in the surrounding areas, let alone pose as a "wolf warrior" to look at others, so the imperial court will respect and consider what he says.

He zongboyao's introduction to the western region played a very good effect, from the perspective of the country, he introduced to Mu Tianzi in detail the western region in his mind, introduced the Kunlun Mountains and the Pamir Plateau, introduced the various beautiful jades of the Kunlun Mountains and Khotan, the gorgeous scenery and rare birds and animals there, as well as the Queen Mother of the West who led the clan to live with characteristic wild beauty and her reputation in the local area...

This very encouraging language and description made the fire in Mu Tianzi's heart burn, and he also saw the possibility of geographical reciprocity between the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Western Regions in the Central Plains.

In this way, Mu Tianzi made a decision.

But he was calm, and he knew that in addition to the dangers and obstacles on the road, there should be undetermined life and death on this journey.

This is our ancestor, a game of chess played more than four thousand years ago, was he consciously left behind? Only God knows.

There is a saying that the predecessors do not ask about the future generations. After Mu Tianzi, especially around the Han Dynasty, Kunlun jade gradually flowed into the Central Plains, so that the jade worn by officials when they went to the court shone brightly, clanging, and almost became a scenery. Let me ask you, were there fewer tomb robberies at that time?

We'll talk about these things later.
