Many times I have been to Xinjiang's Hotan region, it has special feelings for the time being to this article as an alternative Wada Travels:
China is the world's first invention of sericulture, silk reeling, silk fabric of the country. In the more than 3000 years ago, Oracle already silkworm, silk, silk and other written records. Colorful Chinese silk, about the fourth century BC, was introduced to the West, this communication between China and Central Asia, West Asia and Europe by Road transport is the so-called "Silk Road."
However, if the historical move forward along the back, people will find that the so-called "Silk Road" In the past, there is a culture, a way, this is the "Jade Road." This "Jade Road" from the Neolithic, through the Xia Shang Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, Yuan Ming and Qing dynasties, the Republic of China until today, in the 6000 years of years, and Hetian spread throughout China, around spread to Central Asia, Europe and the world, so that Hetian boarded the history of ancient civilizations, modern and contemporary history of civilization, acclaimed in the world.
With the Liangzhu Culture, Hongshan Culture in the discovery of a large number of jade, jade, whether these numbers or in the arts are very alarming levels. Archaeologists more clearly pointed out that China in the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, Iron Age, there are still between a jade era, and that "Jade Age" is the true origin of Chinese civilization era.
Jade the origin of civilization, as an important symbol of Chinese civilization, one onto the stage of history, it is not physical, but social, spiritual, political, economic, cultural, ideology, religion plays a special important role. China from the Shang start to the Spring and Autumn era, has been completed and Khotan jade political, religious-oriented, physical, social, spiritual sense of three-in-the unique jade is our nation's ideological achievements of China, China's rich jade culture thinking and spiritual content.
Many people do not understand why so famous, and Tian, ranking first in gem stones? The reason in:
1, and Tian (device) is a symbol of the origin of Chinese civilization.
2, and Khotan jade political, religious-oriented, physical, social, spiritual sense of three-in-the unique jade is our nation's ideological achievements of China.
3, the human Garden of Eden has been verified in the Hotan region this author, and Hetian is God's love.
Modern archaeological excavations in the Neolithic Age have been found in Xinjiang and Hetian made of jade axes, jade bead; It is reported that the site has been unearthed in Shaanxi Yangshao and Tianyu Yu of the device; in Gansu Neolithic jade pieces unearthed in ruins are also may come from, and Tian. All this shows that the "Jade Age" and Tian have been local people to use, and spread to Gansu and Shaanxi, the Central Plains region, which a transmission line is the "Jade Road" in embryonic form.
三千六百年to三千一百年before the Shang Dynasty, there have been silk, but it was really well-known is the Xinjiang Hetian, not silk. At that time silk obscurity, while the remote Xinjiang Hetian but never spread to the Shang and Yin Wang Du, Henan Anyang. Xinjiang jade subject to Gansu, Shanxi, Henan to reach. It is clear from the primitive society to open up the "Jade Road", when it has been comparatively improved.
It is noteworthy that, when this "jade Road" has been extended westward to Central Asia. According to documented history of Uzbekistan, in the two millennium BC, there were Hetian Xinjiang, where there is perhaps far transported away from the northern foot of Xinjiang. This approximately four thousand years ago the West to "Jade Road" appeared as early as after the "Silk Road"一千六百年or so, may be China, through Central Asia, a very old road.
Huangdi wife Kunlun a boost to family Xiling Shi Zhinv Lei ancestors, silkworm mulberry trees in Hotan, Xinjiang River, and create China's textile technology. Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian twice envoy to the Western Regions, from "Jade Road" because of the growing prosperity of the silk trade has become prosperous together, called "Yu Bo's way." In the Han dynasty, there has been an important place names, this is the "Historical Records" called "Yumen" and "Han" in accounts of the "Jade Gate." Why is called the "Yumen", "Jade Gate" and not called "wire door", "wire door was closed" mean? I think that this reflects the historical facts and Hetian along, "Yu Bo Road" entered the Central Plains eastward hard facts, rather than silk. Yumenguan in Xinjiang and Gansu border area is a transportation and Hetian must pass through. At that time attached great importance to the Han Emperor Wu, and Tian, therefore, set-ting Commandery barrier guard and substitute with "Jade" named "Yumen" means Jade entered the door, "Jade Gate" that jade pay taxes, pick Rugong the door.
Han and Tian exports to Central Asia and South Asia. According to scholars, visits the ancient city of Taxila in Pakistan, he found the first century BC by China's Xinjiang delivered to the soft jade. In the Han dynasty, with the social development of key sites in the Silk Road in Xinjiang, foreign contacts increased, and Hetian become a treasure east to west.
"Jade Road" in Xinjiang Hetian important position in the history of Chinese civilization in the historical evidence for the study of ancient Chinese society and external relations has an important significance.
1877, the Germans Richthofen for the first time in its "China" into a book 114 years from BC to AD 127 years, China and the river areas (refer to Central Asia between the Amu Darya and the Syr Darya zone ) as well as between China and India for silk trade as a medium of transport routes to this Western Region, called "Seidenst Rassen" (Silk Road).
Thus, the so-called "Silk Road" is a long leather blowing posterity, is a pack of lies in history, does not exist a continuation of the millennium in time "Silk Road", "Silk Road" is currently The reason fame is a product of worshiper of foreign things! The real continuation of several thousand years until the present day is the "Jade Road", "Jade," heavy, require carriage to transport, so it needs to road, jade and cultural connotation enormously high value worthy of long-distance transport; "Silk" very light , and "Silk," pronounced with the "dead" to funeral culture, mainly, its lack of cultural connotation and value in long-distance transport and does not need "road" because it does not require carriage.
