Why was Loulan country so hated by the ancients? What did Loulan country do?

Wang Changling mentioned in "Joining the Army" that the yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, and the broken Loulan does not return. There is also Li Bai's "Xia Sai Qu": I would like to put my sword in my waist and cut Loulan straight. These are well-known poems, and Loulan is just a small country in the western regions, which has long been destroyed by the Northern Wei Dynasty. Why did Tang Dynasty poets hate Loulan? In fact, the poets in the Tang Dynasty only used Loulan to refer to the Western Regions to express their ambition to make contributions in the Western Regions.

Li Tang always hoped to surpass the Han Dynasty, and it was always the bounden duty and glory of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty to open up territory before the Anshi Rebellion. The Tang Dynasty defeated the Turks and Tubo successively, then incorporated the Western Regions into the territory of the Tang Dynasty and set up four towns in Anxi to save our time. But before that, the Western Regions represented by Loulan had always been Bai Yueguang in the hearts of Central Plains people, so Wang Changling would say that if Loulan was not broken, he would not return to China.

The significance of desert existence

Although Loulan is a country, it is very small, with a population of less than 20 thousand. Now it has the largest population in a street. It is recorded in the history of the Western Regions that Shanshan, whose real name is Loulan, ... went to Chang 'an 6 100 Li. Number of households 1570, population 4 100. This country once killed the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and although the four towns of Anxi were established in the Tang Dynasty, the people in the western regions often rebelled against the Tang Dynasty under the provocation of Tubo and Turkic, and their behavior was exactly the same as Loulan's killing the envoys of the Han Dynasty. So Li Bai said that he would cut Loulan straight. Since the establishment of the country by force in the Tang Dynasty, conquering the four barbarians has been the highest ideal in my hero's mind.

Li Bai and His Dream

Therefore, the ancient people's hatred of Loulan is more their ambition. Loulan Ancient Land is one of the places closest to the Tang Dynasty in the Western Region and the dream of the people of the Tang Dynasty, so the more I hate it, the deeper I hate it, especially after the Five Dynasties, Ten Kingdoms and Song Dynasty. Loulan, in a sense, represents the glory of China. Only retreat, rarely defeat.
