Since the Western Han Dynasty,As Chinese civilization explores the unknown world increasingly,And the continued smooth flow bet365 free bets Overland Silk Road,The Western Region gradually became a place where different cultural systems came into contact with each other、The historical stage of collision and integration。Generally believed,The specific geographical scope bet365 free bets "Western Regions" referred to in historical records since the Western Han Dynasty can be divided into broad and narrow senses。The former includes Central Asia and even further areas,The latter seems to only refer to the present-day Xinjiang area west of Yumenguan and Yangguan。In recent years, some scholars have developed their own regional concepts based on the Central Plains,Reinterpret and clarify concepts closely related to the name "Western Regions" such as "Xiongnu Western Regions",His opinions are strongly supported by handed down documents and newly discovered archaeological data,Deserves the attention of relevant researchers。In the historical process bet365 free bets Han Dynasty trying to implement diversified ethnic interactions and regional control over the Western Regions,The prominent role of “make” should not be ignored。

  The Han envoys emptied bet365 free bets to usher in the heroic era

The Han Dynasty is a period in Chinese history where heroes emerged in large numbers,Shows the broad mind and grand spirit of Chinese civilization facing the world。Mr. Lu Xun was reviewing the spiritual outlook bet365 free bets Han Dynasty,Written such words as "I recall how much freedom the Han people have had", "No scruples", "How powerful the courage is after all",Relevant judgments provide important inspiration to future generations: "To make progress or not to regress,Always have to make new decisions from time to time,At least the materials must be from foreign lands。"Compared with the more relaxed social rhythm formed in the early Western Han Dynasty due to "recuperation" and "governing by inaction",The movement in the era of Emperor Wu bet365 free bets Han Dynasty clearly realized the transformation from gentle to brisk。Zhang Qian’s success in “hollowing out” the Western Regions,Actually created the first heroic era in the history bet365 free bets Western Regions in the Han Dynasty,It is said that there was even a grand occasion of "messengers looking at each other"。It can be seen from relevant records such as "Historical Records·Biography of Dawan",The scale and frequency of envoys to the Western Regions increased rapidly in the post-Zhang Qian era。"The big ones are hundreds,As few as more than a hundred people” indicates that the number and size bet365 free bets mission is quite considerable;"The one who is far away is eight or nine years old,The closer the person is, the older he becomes, the more the opposite occurs." This reflects the significant expansion of distance and spatial scope。

Yuanguang period (134 BC-129 BC),Sima Xiangru wrote to Emperor Wu bet365 free bets Han Dynasty on the matter of "connecting the southwestern barbarians",There is a sentence that attracted the special attention of Emperor Wu bet365 free bets Han Dynasty: "There must be extraordinary people in the world,Then something extraordinary happened;There is something extraordinary,Then you have extraordinary achievements。Extraordinary ones,It’s just the difference between ordinary people。”So-called “extraordinary things”,"Historical Records Suoyin" quotes Zhang Yi saying: "It's an extraordinary thing,The origin is difficult to know,Everyone is afraid。”Emperor Wu bet365 free bets Han Dynasty seemed to appreciate these words,Even more than 20 years later, it was specially emphasized in the edict,"Book of Han·Wudi Ji" contains an edict to seek talents in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106 BC): "Gai has made extraordinary achievements,You must treat extraordinary people。A horse may gallop and travel a thousand miles,A scholar may be burdened by the burden bet365 free bets world and gain fame。The horse driven by the husband,A relaxed person,Just trying to control it。The governors, officials and people bet365 free bets prefectures, counties, and counties have outstanding talents and talents who can become generals and ministers and destroy the country。”Clearly pointed out that “defeating the country” is actually an “extraordinary thing” and “extraordinary achievement”,It needs to be left to "extraordinary people" to achieve。The historical manifestation of many envoys going to the "extreme country",Of course there are differences due to different subjective conditions and objective environments,But trying to copy Zhang Qian’s successful trajectory should be one bet365 free bets main driving factors,This also has the positive support bet365 free bets supreme ruler。

In addition to realizing secular ideals such as increasing personal wealth and rising in class,You can also see more lofty pursuits in life among the envoys bet365 free bets Han Dynasty,Reflects vigor and potential、The enterprising spirit bet365 free bets times and social fashion。The story of "Fu Jiezi abandoning his goblet" can be seen in "Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing",Fu Jiezi, who later assassinated King Loulan as an envoy to the Han Dynasty and became famous in the Western Regions,When I was young, I "sighed after tasting the goblet": "A real man should make outstanding achievements in his field,How can one sit down and distract Confucianism!"Ban Chao's story of "throwing a pen and joining the army" can also be seen in similar expressions: "The family is poor,Often write letters to official servants to support them。Long hard work,When I quit my job and started writing, I sighed: ‘A real man has no other ambitions’,Just like Fu Jiezi、Zhang Qian’s meritorious service in a foreign land,To obtain the title,Aneng Jiushi’s writing?’” among the brocade patterns bet365 free bets Han Dynasty unearthed in the Lop Nur area of ​​Xinjiang,You can see words like "climb high and see the world clearly",The phrase "climbing high to the brightest" is also commonly seen in the poetry bet365 free bets Song and Ming dynasties,Perhaps it can be regarded as a reflection bet365 free bets messenger’s travel mentality。Contained in "Hanshu·Chen Tang Biography","The third year of Jianzhao,Tang and Yanshou leave the Western Regions。Tang is a man and Shen Yong has big concerns,Multiple strategies,Xiqigong,Every time you pass through cities, mountains and rivers,often visit”。So-called "Dengwang","Book bet365 free bets Later Han·Biography of Liang Song" also writes "climb high and look far away": "Chong grew up in the capital,Unhappy local,Conceited about one’s talent,Depressed and unhappy。Try to climb high and look far away,Sighed and said: 'A man lives in this world,Born as a Marquis,Death as temple food。Nothing else,You can cultivate your ambitions by spending leisurely time,"Poetry" and "Book" are enough to entertain yourself,State and County Positions,Futile human ears。’”Read the words “Not happy at home” and “Climb high and look far away”,It is not difficult to feel the positive fighting spirit and open mind。

The article "The Han Envoys' Meritorious Service in Unparalleled Fields" in Zhao Yi bet365 free bets Qing Dynasty's "Twenty-Two Histories" reviews the achievements bet365 free bets Han Dynasty's envoys from the Western Regions in turn,First of all, I noticed that "the Han army was strong at that time",Therefore "the envoys at that time also had bold strategies,Often used as messengers on bicycles,Kill the famous king、Determined to belong to the country thousands of miles away"。Specifically,Western Han Dynasty such as Fu Jiezi、Wen Zhong and others "all these are those who achieved miraculous achievements with a single mission";Chang Hui、Feng Fengshi and others are classified as "those who are good at sending troops belonging to the country to quell chaos" and "those who use their advantage to mobilize soldiers from other countries to appease the rebels"。About the reasons for the success bet365 free bets above people,also pointed out more comprehensively and objectively: "The power of Han,Walking in the absolute realm,The messengers are all very talented,The old ten thousand miles break away,Nothing less than ambition。"A historical example bet365 free bets envoys bet365 free bets Western Han Dynasty using the "power bet365 free bets Han" as a strong backing to display their personal talents in the Western Regions,There is also the famous "Chu King's Attendant Feng Liao",It can also be proved that at that time, "it was not only the courtiers who sent envoys who could make meritorious deeds",The woman is outside,We also rely on the national prestige to control barbarian sentiments”。Reflecting that "unrivaled merit" is actually the result of subjective initiative and objective conditions complementing each other。

  Visiting bet365 free bets has become a classic poetry theme

  Collect historical facts,We can certainly see that the accumulation of wealth from the early years bet365 free bets Western Han Dynasty to the "Government of Wenjing" provided important support for the strategy bet365 free bets Western Regions,But they cannot agree that the strength of a country should be used as the starting point for examining and evaluating policies and related measures in the Western Region。Ban Gu recounts the situation in the world when Emperor Zhao bet365 free bets Han Dynasty came to the throne,Point out bluntly that "Cheng Xiaowu was extravagant after Yu Wei's journey as a teacher",Domestic waste,Hub account reduced by half”。The real cause bet365 free bets so-called "domestic waste","Hanshu·Biography bet365 free bets Western Regions" also has a more thorough explanation: "Since Emperor Wu first passed through the Western Regions,Establish a school captain,Tuntian ditch plow。It’s time for the army to go out,Thirty-two years as a teacher,Domestic waste。"It can be seen that Emperor Wu bet365 free bets Han Dynasty had already caused severe financial difficulties and social crisis due to his management bet365 free bets Western Regions in the later period。The subsequent usurpation bet365 free bets Han Dynasty by Wang Mang led to the "rebellion" in the Western Regions,The connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was temporarily interrupted。In view bet365 free bets complex and diverse regional situation after the "restoration" bet365 free bets Western Regions,In the third year of Jianchu (78), Banchao bet365 free bets Eastern Han Dynasty proposed the strategic concept of "attacking the barbarians with the barbarians" and "the country can be self-sufficient in food without spending troops",In order to pacify the Western Regions for a long time。Ban Chao’s great achievements in this special way,Widely recognized by people at the time and later generations。But it can also be seen,Some historians have criticized and belittled this。Wang Fuzhi's "Du Tongjian Lun" is a typical example: "Repressing the Examination of Zhang Qian、Fu Jiezi、Ban Chao’s attack on the Western Regions,The generals can only be dozens of people...use barbarians to attack barbarians,Enough to laugh sarcastically。”Zhang Qian、Fu Jiezi、Ban Chao and others "defeat the Western Region" with dozens of people,It just shows that the environment bet365 free bets mission in the Western Regions was poor at that time,The Huns continued to exert influence on the Western Regions with their powerful military force,Conspiracy and violence have become important means for messengers to win。Therefore,Relevant evaluations should adhere to an objective historical attitude,I am afraid that too strict moral standards are not only unnecessary,And it’s irrelevant。

Zhang Qian、Fu Jiezi、The mission activities and historical deeds of Ban Chao and others,It better reflects the relative fit between the circumstances bet365 free bets times and personal pursuits。The end bet365 free bets volume of "Book bet365 free bets Later Han·Biography bet365 free bets Western Regions" comments in a highly appreciative tone on the historical achievements bet365 free bets envoys from the Western Regions: "The record bet365 free bets customs bet365 free bets Western Regions,Unheard of in ancient times。Zhang Qian’s Strategies of Huai Zhiyuan in the Han Dynasty,Ban Chao’s ambition to become a lord,Finally able to make great contributions to the West,Conquer the outer realm。”The so-called “Strategy for Far-reaching” and “Ambition to Become a Marquis” etc.,Like a small splash under the great tide bet365 free bets times,Reflects the magnificent and colorful brilliance。Integrate personal destiny into the destiny bet365 free bets country,Seek personal career success on the basis of fulfilling the mission bet365 free bets times,It can be said to be a reasonable and promising move both at home and abroad in ancient and modern times。According to "Book bet365 free bets Later Han·Ban Chao Biography",Ban Chao has been in the "extreme territory" for more than 30 years,Sent a letter begging to return because of "old age and longing for the land",There was a time when "I didn't dare to see Jiuquan County",I hope to be born in Yumen Pass" and other phrases,It is said that the supreme ruler recalled his words after reading them。Ban Chao arrived in Luoyang in August,Died of illness in September。The ambition and passion to make contributions and serve the country,Not only inspires people with lofty ideals in the past,It has also become a classic theme that has been sung endlessly in the poetry of later generations。Dai Shulun bet365 free bets Tang Dynasty's "Song bet365 free bets Fortress": "The banners bet365 free bets Han family are all over the Yin Mountains,If you don’t send the ruthless horse back。Wish to serve the country with this life,Why enter Yumen Pass。”Li Gao Huaiyuan’s life ambition,It should have driven the envoys bet365 free bets Han Dynasty to overcome difficulties and obstacles that ordinary people could not imagine,Dare to explore the unknown world,One bet365 free bets important spiritual factors in establishing immortal achievements。
