As we know, in ancient times, the fields in China were different at different times, and now it is located on the edge of China. In ancient times, it did not belong to the Central Plains. Many unified dynasties did not include them in their own territory. So there are many small countries around, and the Guge Dynasty is one of them. However, the Guge dynasty mysteriously disappeared in history. I don't know what's going on. Why did the Guge Dynasty disappear?
Tibet, with an average elevation of 4,500 meters, is called "the roof on the roof". Ali is the most remote and desolate area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The natural conditions are quite harsh, but they contain the deepest culture and the most mysterious stories.
From 10 century to 17 century, there was a dynasty called Guge in the cold Ali desert. The Guge dynasty carried forward Buddhism, resisted foreign enemies and won the hearts of the people. It has a splendid civilization history of 700 years. It inherited 20 kings before and after. The castle of the palace is constantly expanding and the atmosphere is spectacular.
It is said that Guggenheim has a very powerful military force. Its ruling center is Xiangquan Valley in Zada. The territory of the kingdom extends to the northern Turkish county. The northernmost border extends to the snowy mountains of present Kashmir. India is in the south, Ladakh in the west and the foothills of Gangdise in the east.
Strangely, however, one day more than 300 years ago, 65,438+10,000 people disappeared overnight, leaving only 720,000 square meters of magnificent ruins and remains in this vast kingdom, leaving future generations with unlimited imagination.
The ancient ruins are located on the banks of Xiangquan River, about18km to the west of Zhada County, surrounded by layered soil forests with different shapes.
The whole castle was built on a loess slope 300 meters high. The ruins of Khaki Castle, like those growing in the earth's forests, are natural. Caves, pagodas, watchtowers, temples and palaces are all in good order. From bottom to top, they are built on the top of the mountain, forming a huge ancient architectural complex.
It is known that there are 445 houses, 880 caves, 28 pagodas, 4 pipelines, 10 defensive walls, as well as some granaries and armories in the ruins of Guge Dynasty, which is larger than any fortress building outside Potala Palace.
These buildings are usually divided into three floors. Palace is located at the top of the cliff, temples and monks' houses are mostly located on the mountainside, while ordinary people mostly live at the foot of the mountain. Judging from the ruins of the palace wall, it can be inferred that this dynasty was prosperous and powerful at that time. However, overnight, the Guge Dynasty suddenly and mysteriously disappeared into the historical ocean of Wang Yang. It seems that it never existed, leaving only ruins on the ground.
Today, there are more than a dozen families in Guge village near the ruins of Guge dynasty, but none of them are descendants of Guge people. How did 65438+ ten thousand people disappear without a trace that day? Where did the descendants of Guggenheim go? If this is a migration, there must be descendants who understand history.
Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? Will the ancient dynasty disappear so suddenly? There is no authoritative record in the history books, but there are two popular versions. It is said that the Guge dynasty was destroyed by Sengenheim, the western neighbor of Ladakh, in 1630. Sengenheim and Guge belong to the same family. It is also said that the Guggenheim dynasty was the Douglas dynasty that destroyed India in 1840.
Throughout the history of Tibet, these two wars did take place in Ali area. Judging from historical records, the former seems to be more reliable. According to the records in the Chronicle of Ladakh, the History of China's Local Anti-Japanese Invasion and the History of Early Missionaries' Activities in Tibet, we can know that the last king and his Guge family were taken back to the capital Ladakh and put into prison.
History can be traced back to more than 300 years ago. /kloc-At the beginning of the 7th century, King Ladakh took advantage of the Tibet Rebellion to declare war on Guge in retaliation for his insult to family honor, because King Guge had rejected his sister's marriage.
The war lasted for 15 years, and finally the Guge dynasty perished. The Guge dynasty, which lasted for more than 700 years, did not leave its own history or even the lineage of the monarch, but it was not completely clarified. After the demise of the ancient dynasty, Ali was under the rule of Ladakh Kingdom.
After the Qing Dynasty unified China, it sent troops to Tibet, defeated Ladakh's army in 1683, and recovered the occupied territory for half a century. In 1930s, Professor Doukhi, a famous Italian Tibetan scientist, was the first to walk into the ruins of Guge Dynasty.
In the 1980s, the ruins of Guge Dynasty attracted national attention. Led by archaeologist Zhang Jianlin, National Cultural Heritage Administration organized an archaeological team to conduct a large-scale archaeological investigation of the site. For more than 30 years, the mysterious history of Guge Kingdom has been closely watched by historians, archaeologists and Tibetans.
In recent years, some scientists believe that from the limited records and investigation results, the slaughter and plunder caused by the war are not enough to destroy the ancient Georgian civilization. They analyzed that environmental deterioration may be the main reason. Judging from the geographical environment of Zada County, the desertification of Guge Dynasty ruins has been very serious. The whole Zada County and Xiangquan River are not as good as before.
The riverbed of Xiangquan River is very wide, with a width of more than one kilometer at the widest point, showing the majestic momentum of that year. But now Xiangquan River 100 meters wide, flows through some river sections, leaving only a thin belt. In those days, only a few oases could feed 654.38+ten thousand people. Zada County, with a population of over 7,000, is the smallest county in China. The change of ecological environment may be the real reason for the disappearance of Guge Dynasty.
