Silk Road 1 Silk Road is an ancient passage across the Eurasian continent. From Chang 'an to Rome, it is not only a trade avenue for exchanging needed goods between ancient Asia and Europe, but also a road for promoting friendly exchanges between Asian and European countries and China, and for communicating the cultures of the East and the West. But you know what? This great road was opened by Zhang Qian at the risk of his life.
In the early years of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, Xiongnu often invaded the Central Plains. On one occasion, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty learned that King Dayue was killed by Hun Khan, and his national strength was too weak to take revenge. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy, so he wanted to unite with Dayue to destroy the Huns. However, the Han Dynasty was so far away from Dayue's family that it had to pass through Xiongnu. Who should go? Zhang Qian volunteered to go to Dayue's home. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Qian to set out with 100 people.
Soon, they entered the activities of the Huns. Zhang Qian was taken hostage by Khan, married the Huns' wife and bruised them. Unwilling Zhang Qian fled with 100 followers. After many difficulties and obstacles, everyone finally came to Dawan country. King Dawan had long heard that the big fellow was beautiful and magical, and he warmly received Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian once again came to Kangju, with enthusiasm like Kangju Wang. They came to Ren Yue, but after a long time, Ren Yue had forgotten revenge. Zhang Qian was disappointed and decided to return to Chang 'an. On the way, he was caught by the Huns, but he quickly escaped.
This time, Zhang Qian suffered a lot and mourned for his old age. 100 people, there are two left. Zhang Qian told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty about the unique products and culture of the Western Regions, which opened his eyes. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very happy and asked Zhang Qian to go to the Western Regions again. But the Huns called, and Huo Qubing won the battle and defeated the Huns. Zhang Qian took the opportunity to come to Wusun to unite and completely defeat the Huns. Zhang Qian also asked the emissary to contact Dawan, Kangju, Daxia and other countries. Thus the Silk Road was opened.
Zhang Qian made great contributions, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made him a Bo prince. But I was so tired that I died when I came back from Wusun. But this great road has not been broken. China's tea, silk, ceramics and other specialties and technologies such as iron smelting and silk reeling were introduced to foreign countries, and various foreign foods were also introduced to China. China's art has absorbed the essence of foreign countries and become colorful and beautiful.
Ah, the great Zhang Qian opened up this great Silk Road.
The second article of the Silk Road composition, "Live in the Present", is often talked about by people. This means that when people are alive, they should not worry about what may happen immediately or what happened in the past, but enjoy the present life. Don't worry about the distance, just seek the near.
Because the Silk Road is too far away, we always go to go on road trip, Gansu by train. This is my second time to take the train. The first time from Qingdao to Xi 'an, the terminal is Lanzhou. This time it happened to be from Qingdao to Lanzhou. Although the last train was a soft sleeper, the sanitary conditions were poor, the bed was narrow and there was coal under it, which left some shadows in my heart. This time the Silk Road is a whole train, and all of them are hard sleepers, which makes me a little worried.
Starting from Qingdao Station, I stepped onto the platform with a feeling of anxiety. This train is red. This is an air-conditioned car. I breathed a sigh of relief as soon as I stepped on the train. Although I haven't seen the bed yet, the junction between the carriages is clean, not spotless, but radiant. Stepping into the carriage is not luxurious, but it is extremely neat. White sheets and white pillowcases, although hard sleepers, are much better than soft sleepers. As long as I live well, this trip has added a lot of luster to my eyes. However, I always don't adapt to the carriage. First impressions are too important. The train may have left a dirty impression on me. It is not easy to change it in an instant.
We will stay on the train for 3 1 hour, and I slowly accepted this neat carriage. Almost used to it, the train arrived in Lanzhou. I don't like the neatness of the train.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Lanzhou. After dinner, we have a rest, and then we have to catch the ten o'clock train. When I got off the train, I tripped and almost fell. The train bumped, and we sat for a long time, so we were used to not only the clean train, but also the bumps under our feet. I suddenly stepped on the flat and stable ground, but I was not used to it. From the moment I got off the train, although the ground under my feet was still, I always felt my feet shaking. Two hours later, I knew I could not stand on the train from Lanzhou to Jiayuguan. When I arrived in Jiayuguan early this morning, I always had this illusion. I don't like the flatness of the ground.
I'm not "living in the moment".
"Living in the moment" is an ability. It reminds you to enjoy the present and be happy for it. Don't give up this second of happiness for the next second of sadness and the next second of deep regret.
"Living in the moment" is a realm. It makes you forget the troubles of the future, forget the regrets of the past, and only enjoy the present. Don't think about what will happen next second, because we are satisfied now.
Living in the present is a kind of happiness. If you do, you will have countless happy times in your life.
The composition of the Silk Road is 3. The strong are great, and the wise are prosperous. My parents and I left Dunhuang airport, and at first glance it was all golden desert. We visited the Mogao Grottoes and finally went to Mingsha Mountain. Entering Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area, you are greeted by endless sand dunes and camel teams walking on the sand dunes, as if crossing the ancient Silk Road.
We boarded the camels, and five camels formed a team. I sat on the first camel in the team, just between the two humps. Because the camel has the title of "the boat in the desert", we are sitting in a "boat in the desert". The camel's hump is a place to store energy, so we sit in the middle of the camel's cornucopia. Riding on a camel seems to shake people down.
We got off the camel at crescent spring. The lake in Crescent Spring is crystal clear, blue and green, and the lake is sparkling. From a distance, it looks like a crescent emerald inlaid in golden silk. Crescent Moon Spring has been guarding the vast desert since ancient times and has made countless contributions to pedestrians. From ancient times to the present, after hundreds of years of wind, rain, sun and rain, how great it is to show vitality! But how did it do it? It turns out that there is an underground river in Crescent Spring, and there is a hole in the underground river that leads directly to Crescent Spring. This is the secret that Crescent Moon Spring will not dry up for a hundred years.
The scenery of Dunhuang is just like a poem, "The desert is lonely and straight, and the long river sets the yen!"
The Silk Road Composition 4 Hangzhou is the capital of silk and has an indissoluble bond with silk since ancient times. As a native of Hangzhou, it is necessary to study the ancient "Silk Road". So at the beginning of the summer vacation, the members of the Happy Elf team and I couldn't wait to go to Zhejiang Silk Museum at the foot of Huang Yu Mountain for a silk trip.
5000 years ago, silk first appeared in the south of the Yangtze River. It is said that Yuan Fei, the Yellow Emperor, led people to plant mulberry, sericulture and silk weaving, and invented silk. Then it became the first choice for ancient imperial nobles to make clothes and accessories. China's four famous embroideries are Su embroidery, Xiang embroidery, Yue embroidery and Shu embroidery. There are many kinds of silk, such as twill, silk and satin.
On the second floor of the exhibition hall, we saw the epitome of the Silk Road. The Silk Road, with a history of 2,000 years, was the traffic artery of China in ancient times, starting from Chang 'an and passing through the northwest, transporting silk to other Asian countries and European countries. The Silk Road had a tremendous impact on the trade between East and West at that time, which was amazing.
After visiting the Silk Road, I silently said to myself: When I grow up, I will also explore along the ancient Silk Road.
The ocean is the cradle of life. The Maritime Silk Road, which began to take shape more than 2,000 years ago, spans the vast ocean and connects China with the rest of the world.
My hometown, Ningbo, which is taken from Ningbo, Haidingze, has a long and profound marine culture. It is one of the most important "Maritime Silk Road" cities in China, shining like a bright pearl on the coastline of China.
As soon as you walk into the exhibition hall named "Crossing the Ocean" on the first floor of Ningbo Museum, you can feel the breath of the ocean. The whole exhibition hall is dominated by the blue of the sea, displaying all kinds of goods of that year. There are silk, tea, porcelain, spices and so on. When I saw them, there seemed to be a tall and magnificent cargo ship in front of my eyes, whistling, ready to cross the ocean and sell the goods to other places.
Porcelain is the most popular in the exhibition hall It is dazzling to see people in various forms and uses. Under the erosion of years, some are fragmented, some are scarred, and some are still radiant. Some are colorful, some are simple and elegant, and some are beautifully carved. I can't help admiring the skills of our ancestors.
Time flies, the times are changing, and technology has developed to this day in a blink of an eye. They have watched the world silently for thousands of years and really experienced many vicissitudes. Now it seems that we are telling their extraordinary experiences. In a booth, there are several pieces of porcelain lying quietly, and the porcelain is decorated with exquisite patterns, which shows that it turned out to be a good work of art, which inevitably makes people feel pity and has infinite associations. How did it break? Where was it originally shipped? What is it used for ... Maybe everyone has different guesses, but we can't prove it.
The Maritime Silk Road has played an irreplaceable role, such as whether there are friendly exchanges between China and foreign countries, whether businessmen from all countries make profits, whether religious beliefs spread, etc ... All this is because of the sea, which is our treasure house! This still needs us to continue to develop and study!
The Silk Road Composition 6 The ancient and prosperous Silk Road has now turned into a big desert, which reminds me of my nostalgia for the Silk Road.
At night, I fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, a red light flashed in front of my eyes, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I found myself a businessman from the western regions. I have a long nose and sunken eyes, wearing a gown, riding a tall camel, followed by five camels, all of which are specialties of the western regions. There is a tall tower in front of me. When I saw it, I was puzzled: where have I been? A closer look shows that there is a plaque hanging on the city gate, which reads two big characters-Chang 'an. Oh, it turned out to be Chang 'an, the capital of the rich Han Dynasty! Into the city, very lively. Men, women and children, wearing all kinds of clothes, come and go in the street. There are all kinds of goods on the roadside stalls: silk, paper, grapes, pomegranates and figs. ...
Businessmen are enthusiastically soliciting customers. On the edge of the street, several artists were playing with guns and sticks, which attracted passers-by to applaud.
Seeing that others are so busy, I don't want to fall behind, so I quickly found an empty place to start a business. I sell peppers, broad beans, cucumbers and figs, because I sell them reasonably, with small profits but quick turnover, and they are the best varieties in our western regions, so I exchanged all my goods with a Han businessman with deep pockets, just a pack of cigarettes for a few high-quality silks. I was so happy that I decided to go back to China the next morning and make a fortune next time.
In a blink of an eye, the next day, I set off with six camels full of goods. When I walked out of Chang 'an happily, the red light flashed again. I woke up, it was a dream! I seem to see the endless business travel on the Silk Road, and I seem to hear the long camel bells wandering in the desert. ...
This summer vacation, I went to the Northwest Silk Road. The first time I saw snow-capped mountains, grasslands, grasslands, deserts, Gobi, Ya Dan, colored balls and salt ponds, the scenery was very beautiful.
The most interesting place is Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang. One mountain after another is piled with sand, and the sand is very fine. Encouraged by my mother, I finally climbed a sand mountain. I sat on the top of Shashan Mountain and watched the sunset. It's really interesting. I also rode a camel here. Riding a camel is actually very tiring, especially when going down the hillside, and I feel like I am about to fall down.
In Zhangye, Gansu, the colorful Danxia Mountain is so beautiful under the setting sun. I see many colors on the hillside here, such as red, yellow, orange, green, white, blue-gray, gray-black, gray-white, like many rainbow mountains! I heard that the most famous grottoes in Dunhuang are Mogao Grottoes. This place looks like a big cheese, but it is actually a grotto. The grottoes are full of exquisite murals and Buddha statues made by ancient people. It's amazing! I also saw the crescent moon spring, which is shaped like the moon. People say this is the first spring in the world. In Chaka Salt Lake, I saw the same reclining Buddha as Mogao Grottoes, but the reclining Buddha here was carved with salt. Although it is summer now, it is very cold and windy here in Salt Lake City. My umbrella was blown over, and I was shivering with cold ... There is also a scenic spot called Ya Dan Ghost Town, which sounds the most horrible. In fact, it is a strange hill polished by sand, some like lions, some like peacocks, some like pavilions and warships, which are particularly spectacular.
Through this trip, I learned a lot of knowledge and saw many beautiful scenery. I like traveling.
Hami is an important town in the western regions on the ancient Silk Road. Because of its rich products, especially fruits, it is known as "the first city in the world". Hami is a lucky city, because some mountains in Tianshan Mountain have come to Hami, and natural snow water and patches of grassland have brought infinite vitality to the local area. Therefore, Tianshan Mountain has become a must-see spot for tourists coming to Hami.
If you ask me when I will go to Tianshan Mountain, I will answer July. Tianshan Mountain in July is the most beautiful time. Although July is a hot month, coming to Tianshan Mountain is equivalent to coming to the summer resort. It will be refreshing to come to the grassland and visit Ma Pingchuan. In Tianshan Mountain in July, the weather is sunny in Wan Li, neither too cold nor too hot. It will be too cold if you go in winter. If we go in spring, the weather will not be very good, and it will probably be cloudy. So July is the best time to go to Tianshan Mountain.
This time, we came to a Balikun grassland known as the "Pearl of Tianshan Mountain". The reason why Balikun Grassland is the Pearl of Tianshan Mountain is that there are abundant aquatic plants and a Ma Pingchuan, surrounded by lush green grass and dense pine forests, and the distant mountains are particularly clear in the sun. It is a well-deserved feeling to come to Balikun grassland. The Balikun grassland gives me the feeling of fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Grassland is a paradise for horses, and it is a great pity not to ride horses on the grassland. This ride is the first time, so I will naturally feel a little nervous and want to back down. However, under the influence of curiosity, I decided to ride a horse. There are many horses on the grassland, but the most striking one is a white horse. I had a crush on him for a long time, but when it was time to get on the horse, I was carried by a big brown horse.
"It's safe to come." Since I got on this horse, forget it. By the way, let's get to know the advantages of this horse. My horse has a lot of manes, and the whole neck is covered with manes; Eyes are very discerning and seem elusive. It's very high. The man holding the horse has to lift me up so that I can sit in the saddle smoothly.
Children riding horses must be accompanied by professionals. The horses led by the accompanying people are all made in China, some are 10 years old, and some are only 5 to 6 years old. The escort's skill is very good, and the corresponding horse is also very docile, obeying the escort's arrangement. People accompanying him often make strange noises, but as soon as he saw the horse here, he stopped at once. The language of horse training is different. Although the owner of each horse commands the same thing, it makes different sounds. The horse trainer decides according to the usual time, or a language of horse training is born unintentionally.
The escort can let him sit in the saddle with himself, so that the escort can drive easily and the horse will start flying as soon as it is ready. The horse was very bumpy when it ran. Listen to the teacher and say that you should cooperate with the horse's movements, so that it won't be very uncomfortable. I tried, and the effect was really extraordinary. Relatively speaking, the bumps are much smaller.
I think I should benefit a lot from this trip to the Balikun Grassland. Although I have just ridden a horse, my knowledge has increased a lot. I also personally experienced and understood the grassland and realized the infinite fun it brought me.
The Maritime Silk Road, also known as the Ceramic Road, is an extension of the onshore Silk Road, which was formed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The main reason for its formation is that there are many mountain plains along the southeast coast of China, and internal communication is not easy. So since ancient times, many people have actively developed to the sea. This route has many nicknames because of the different goods transported. With the import of spices from Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia, this route is also called "Spice Road".
At that time, the Silk Road was a general term for all routes in China and the West, but there was actually not only one road. In addition to land transportation, there is also a route from the sea to the west, which is the so-called Maritime Silk Road. The Silk Road not only transports silk, but also exports porcelain, sugar and hardware, and imports spices, medicinal materials and precious stones.
The Maritime Silk Road has a long history, from pre-Qin to Qin Dynasty, to Han Dynasty, to Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms, to Wei, Jin, Southern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, and Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
Hayes' starting point is Quanzhou, the southern sound of the "living fossil" of medieval court music, which is regarded as the most intimate local sound by overseas wanderers. Dehua porcelain, Hui 'an stone carving, Licheng puppet head, Anxi oolong tea, Yongchun vinegar, etc. Known far and wide, it is a good gift for relatives and friends, and it is exported at home and abroad.
Due to the changes of the times, the Maritime Silk Road came to an end from the beginning of the Crow War in 1842, leaving one mystery after another. Some researchers generally believe that Zheng He's voyages to the West have more thoroughly connected the Maritime Silk Road between China and other countries, which is also one of the important evidences to prove the existence of the Maritime Silk Road in history.
Hayes culture has a long history. Although it has experienced decline, it is still so tall and straight. Although it was banned from going to sea by the corrupt Qing Empire and closed the door to prosperity, it still survived tenaciously.
History is history, and we cannot change it. The only thing we can do now is to revive Hester and make trade flourish again.
Hester, we will bring you back to life again and return to that prosperous and powerful era that belongs to you!
Composition of the Silk Road 10 In the 2nd century BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty incorporated the Hexi Corridor into the imperial territory and established a Silk Road from Chang 'an (Jin 'an) to the east coast of the Mediterranean. Sino-foreign trade with silk as the main body has promoted the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West, especially the spread of sericulture and silk technology in China to the west. After the Song Dynasty, the maritime "Silk Road" became the main channel for Chinese and foreign trade.
Silk is woven from silkworms.
Silkworms are completely abnormal insects. Its generation must go through four completely different stages of development: egg, larva, pupa and moth.
Silkworms will spin silk on the loom after spinning. When knitting, two people need to cooperate, one is pulling the wire on top, the other is knitting below, and both of them are indispensable.
Looms are also very complicated.
Look, this is a loom.
For thousands of years, silk has been people's favorite clothes and fabrics. With the development of science and technology, the silk woven by China people is becoming more and more beautiful. Silk is exported to more and more countries and more and more people like it.
Silk Road Essay 1 1 The road ahead is vast and full of difficulties and obstacles. In ancient times, merchants along the Silk Road built Buddhist caves in Dunhuang, bowed down and asked the Buddha to bless their safe return. That's why there are such splendid Buddhist colored sculptures and murals here. Later, due to the opening of the Maritime Silk Road, Dunhuang slowly faded out of people's sight, and only the murals and Buddha statues of the Millennium silently guarded this history. Because Taobao mainly deals in silk scarves in Hangzhou, it has special feelings for the Silk Road. Imagine how much courage and perseverance it took for the ancients to carry Hangzhou silk and ride camels on the deserted Gobi desert. The facilities are simple and the environment is bad. You can only camel slowly, and it takes about a year to walk. I don't know how many people have fallen into this ruthless desert. Now, with the help of the Internet, we can sell Hangzhou silk all over the world. We can't help sighing that the world is changing too fast. Thanks to the progress of science and technology, and the existence of Taobao, it has provided us with a brand-new Silk Road, which allows silk to travel around the world without leaving home. That is the imagination of the ancients.
Dunhuang is really a place worth visiting. Dunhuang has not only the world-famous Mogao Grottoes, but also the magical Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring. The brilliance of a thousand-year-old civilization echoes the ingenuity of nature, so that nature and culture are so perfectly combined.
Along the way, thousands of miles of Gobi and spectacular deserts, like their history, are desolate and far-reaching, showing the smallness of human beings and the magic of nature. Although I have left, I know that in my dream, I will come back here countless times and return to this magical and distant Silk Road.
