Features: He must deal with sudden war threats at any time and place. He must carefully respond to every word in different places and among different ethnic groups. This is the charm of the Zhang Qian incident in 2140 BC. This book takes Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions as the main thread, vividly depicting the human geography and folk customs of ancient Central Asia, restoring the historical environment with the perspective of a scholar. Two thousand years ago, the nobles, princes, guards, merchants, and camel drivers of the Western Han Dynasty society traveled through the vast desert. The grand scenes of the Han-Xiong war, the collision and integration of the cultural psychology between nomads and settled agricultural peoples, are fully presented in the book. Here, the grandeur and weight of history, as well as its magnificence and vigor, shine in harmony, stirring the soul and leaving readers with a sense of profound emotion.
