dayue.
During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he hoped to unite with the Yue people to attack the Huns and send Zhang Qian to the western countries. In the first year of Emperor Wudi's reign (14 BC), Zhang Qian was recruited as an emissary to attack the Xiongnu with the help of Dayue people. He went out of Longxi in Jianyuan three years, was captured by Xiongnu, and then escaped. Westbound to Dawan, through Kangju, arrived at Dayue family, and then went to Daxia, and stayed for more than a year before returning.
on his way home, Zhang Qian changed from the south road to the south mountain, trying to avoid being discovered by the Huns, but he still got it from the Huns and was detained for more than a year. In the third year of Yuanshuo (126 BC), when the Huns were in civil strife, Zhang Qian took the opportunity to flee back to the Han Dynasty, and reported the situation of the western regions in detail to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who awarded him the Doctor Tai Zhong. Because of Zhang Qian's prestige in the Western Regions, the envoys of the Han Dynasty later called Bo Wanghou to win the trust of other countries.
Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was originally intended to carry out the strategic intention of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to unite with Da Yueshi to fight against the Huns. However, after his mission to the Western Regions, there were frequent cultural exchanges between Han and Yi, and the civilization of the Central Plains quickly spread around through the "Silk Road". Therefore, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions is of special historical significance. Zhang Qian has made outstanding contributions to the opening of the Silk Road from China to the Western Regions, which has been praised all over the world.
Dayue is a nomadic tribe in Central Asia, who lived in the northwest of China before the 2nd century BC and then migrated to Central Asia. In the ancient books of the pre-Qin period in China, they were translated into Yu Zhi and Niu Shi.
Dayue clan is an extremely important ancient clan in China and the world history. The rise of Xiongnu, the spread of Han to the western regions and the spread of Buddhism to the east are all directly and closely related to Dayue clan.
from the 5th century BC to the beginning of the 2nd century BC, the Yue people were nomadic in the area from Zhangye to Dunhuang in the west of Hexi Corridor, and they were powerful enemies of the Huns. About in the first year of Emperor Yuanshuo (128 BC), the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian to other countries, and the contacts between them gradually became close. China is divided into five parts: Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishuang, Pangdun and Dumi.
Shortly before 177 BC, the Yue family broke down Wusun, another small nomadic tribe near Dunhuang, and it was difficult to kill its king and seize its land, and it was difficult to hunt arrogant children, and its tribe fled to Xiongnu. From 177 BC to 176 BC, the Xiongnu took the initiative to send the right Xianwang to defeat the Yueshi. In 174 BC, the Huns were old and single-minded, and soon defeated the Yue family, killing its king and using its head as a drinking vessel.
most of the Yue people moved westward to the Ili River basin and near Lake Issyk-Kul, and most of the plug species originally living here were forced to move southward to the south of Hindu Kush Mountain. The Yueshi left a small number of remnant people in Hexi Corridor to mix with the Qiang people in Qilian Mountains, so-called Xiaoyushi, and the Yueshi who moved westward was called Dayue from now on.
From 139 BC to 129 BC, King Wusun grew up hunting arrogantly and revenged his father, so he led his troops to attack Dayue's family in the west and seize the Ili River basin and other places. Dayue family was forced to move south again, crossed Dawan and settled on the north bank of Amu Darya. At the beginning of the 1st century BC, Dayue conquered the great summer in the south of Amu River.
By the beginning of the AD, Guishuang was the only one among the five marquis, and the Guishuang empire was established. The two migrations of Dayue people had a great historical impact on Central Asia. It caused the destruction of the Hellenistic kingdom of Bactria (Summer), prompted the Serbian species to invade northern India, and caused Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to send Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, thus opening up the Silk Road.
