In 209 BC, in the flames of the great peasant revolt at the end of Qin led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the Qin Dynasty collapsed. Qin destroyed Hanxing, and in 206 BC, Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, established the Han Dynasty. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the county system in the southwest region was abolished, and Yelang became the most powerful fang state (that is, tribe) in the southwest. The Han Dynasty inherited the practice of the Qin Dynasty and adopted a policy of preferential treatment and conquest and suppression in Guizhou, and implemented the county system. The Mu Mu Commandery of the Two Han Dynasties had seventeen counties under its jurisdiction, and the territory probably included parts of present-day Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi. The area of Guiyang belonged to Mu Mu County during the Han Dynasty.
Speaking of the Han Dynasty's management of the present-day Guiyang area and its surroundings, it is impossible not to mention a food, goji sauce, which leads to an interesting story, welcome to listen to "Hearing Guiyang" jointly produced by the Propaganda Department of the Guiyang Municipal Cpc Committee and the Guizhou Radio and Television Station Story Radio.
When Emperor Wu of Han sent Fanyang Ling (a kind of official position) Tang Meng to send an envoy to South Vietnam (present-day Liangguang Region), it should be explained here that Emperor Wu of Han wanted to conquer South Vietnam, and it was the Yelang Road that Tang Meng proposed in the book, thus successfully destroying the Han Dynasty in South Vietnam. Therefore, Tang Meng was the pioneer of the "Southwest Silk Road" (also known as the "Southern Silk Road") in the Han Dynasty.
Tang Meng initially sent envoys to South Vietnam along the route of the Central Plains as an envoy of the Han Dynasty, and after arriving in South Vietnam, the king of South Vietnam entertained Tang Meng with wolf sauce. After Tang Meng ate it, he felt that it was very delicious, so he inquired where the goji sauce was produced, and replied that it was Shudi. Tang Meng asked: Shu land is thousands of miles away from South Vietnam, and the mountains and rivers are blocked, how did it come about? The king of Nanyue replied triumphantly: It was brought from Mu Mu in the northwest of South Vietnam. Hear "Mu Mu!" Two words, Tang Meng was shocked in his heart. When he returned to Chang'an to inquire, he learned that the wolf sauce was secretly sold by the merchants of Shu Land to Yelang, and Yelang had a Mu Mu River that could be directly connected to the capital city of South Vietnam (that is, today's Panyu, Guangdong), and the wolfberry sauce was transported to South Vietnam by water. He also heard that the Yelang state had 100,000 elite soldiers, and even South Vietnam could not help Yelang. Therefore, Tang Meng wrote to Emperor Wu of Han that he wanted to conquer South Vietnam, and he could borrow 100,000 male soldiers from Yelang and at the same time take a boat down the Mu Mu River, which was a clever and surprising victory plan. Therefore, after conquering Yelang first, the problem of South Vietnam is not difficult to solve. And in order to open up the Night Lang Road, it is necessary to set up officials in the Night Lang.
Soon, Emperor Wu of Han agreed with Tang Meng's advice and appointed Tang Meng as the general of Zhonglang to march on Yelang. After some planning, Tang Meng led a thousand troops from Sichuan into Guizhou and met with Duotong, the marquis of Yelang (that is, the Night Lang King) at that time. Tang Meng gave many silk horses to Duo Tong and other small tribal chiefs of Yelang. He said to Duotong: As long as you obey the management of the emperor of the Han Dynasty and agree to the government sending officials, you can not only continue to be the Marquis of Yelang, but also your son can also be a county order. Weighing the pros and cons of the situation under the pressure of the soldiers, DuoTong and the chiefs agreed. In order to show friendship, Duotong gave back a lot of goji sauce to Tang Meng. Tang Meng returned to Chang'an and presented the wolf sauce given by Duotong to Emperor Wu of Han. Emperor Wudi of Han tasted the goji sauce and felt that the taste was really good.
What is goji sauce? There have been many historians who have studied for thousands of years, and the benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and the opinions of the people are divergent, and there is no consensus. Yang Shen, a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and Chen Ding and Tian Wen of the Qing Dynasty all had discussion articles on wolfberry sauce, but to this day there are still people who are racking their brains for wolfberry sauce, hoping to make a water out. Some people say it's a chicken, some say it's a vine, and some people say it's a chicken. Guizhou scholar Tang Moyao examined in the article "What is the food of wolfberry sauce", and there are three kinds of sauces previously called by the Han Dynasty: one is "pickle", which is a sauce made of fish and meat, such as centipede sauce and miscellaneous bone sauce; one is a sauce made of grain, such as bean paste; one is a sauce made of fruits and petals, such as elm sauce and peony sauce. He believes that goji sauce belongs to the third kind, "wolf" is guizhou called "abduction date" or "chicken jujube", wolf sauce is a paste-like food that mashes the dates like mud or is made from the end of the dates, similar to today's jam (selected from the "Qianshan Harvest of CuiluLu"). His view is somewhat persuasive.
Scientific name: Citrus aurantium, commonly known as: jujube is really the raw material of goji sauce?
The story of wolfberry sauce tells people that Guiyang and its surrounding areas, since ancient times, because of its location in the main road of transportation, has been an important commercial trade distribution center in the southwest of the motherland and even in southern China. This is historically verifiable.
After the Han Dynasty, China's history ushered in the era of the Three Kingdoms for hegemony, what was the situation in guiyang during the Three Kingdoms period? What kind of story is there?
