Features: This book fully utilizes the latest archaeological findings, excavating foreign civilizations buried by time from artifacts unearthed in Chang'an, the starting point of the Silk Road in the Middle Ages, and its surrounding areas, which bear traces of foreign cultures. It brings back the lost Tang Dynasty charm and Hu-style atmosphere, not only showcasing the cultural vicissitudes of the Eurasian region centered around Chang'an as an international metropolis in the 6th to 9th centuries but also uncovering the alternative history of those who disappeared from "orthodox historical records." The book is divided into six historical chapters: Foreign Ethnic Groups, Foreign Cultures, Foreign Religions, Foreign Architecture, and Foreign Languages, accompanied by numerous images of national treasures. It resembles a "revived artifact, reflected civilization, preserved heritage, and revealed future" illustrated dictionary, giving new life to the cultural exchanges between the Chinese nation and foreign civilizations.
