In the first year of Jianyuan (BC 140), Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, ascended the throne, and Zhang Qian served as a Langguan in the palace. In the third year of Jianyuan (BC 138), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty recruited envoys to send envoys to the Yue family, hoping to unite the Yue family to attack the Huns. Zhang Qian recruited them as messengers, set out from Chang 'an, was captured by Xiongnu, was trapped for ten years, and then ran away.

I went west to Dawan, passed Kangju, arrived at Dayue's home, and then went to Daxia, and stayed for more than a year before coming back. On his way home, Zhang Qian changed from South Road to Nanshan in an attempt to avoid being discovered by Xiongnu, but he got it from Xiongnu and was detained for more than a year.

In the third year of Yuanshuo (BC 126), the Huns were in civil strife, and Zhang Qian took the opportunity to escape to the Han Dynasty, and reported the situation of the western regions in detail to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who named him a doctor too much. Because of Zhang Qian's prestige in the Western Regions, the envoys of the Han Dynasty later called him Bo Wanghou to win the trust of other countries.

Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions was originally intended to carry out the strategic intention of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to unite with Da Yueshi to fight against the Huns. However, after he went to the Western Regions, the cultural exchanges between Han and Yi were frequent, and the civilization of the Central Plains spread rapidly around through the "Silk Road". Therefore, Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions has special historical significance. Zhang Qian has made outstanding contributions to the opening of the Silk Road from China to the Western Regions, which is praised by the world.

2. The Story of Ban Chao-Simple Proverbs

When Ban Chao was recalled, Ren Shang, a captain of Wuji, was replaced by the imperial court as the capital of the Western Regions. When explaining his work, Ren Shang said to Ban Chao, "You have been abroad for more than 30 years, and I am ashamed. After you, I have a great responsibility and short-sightedness. You should be able to teach me something. "

Ban Chao said, I am old and stupid. You are in an important position, how can I compete with going to work? If necessary, I would like to say a few words of great wisdom. The officers and men of the Great Wall are not dutiful sons and grandchildren, and they are all moved here because of guilt. Barbarians are cruel, so it is difficult to adopt and easy to do bad things.

Now you are tough and a little impatient. There will be no big fish when the water is clear, and the following will not be happy if the supervision is strict. You should be tolerant, calm and simple, be lenient with small mistakes, and just grasp the important links.

After Ban Chao left, Ren Shang privately said to his cronies, "I thought Ban Jun had some fantastic ideas, but now it seems that what he said is just ordinary remarks." A few years after Ren Shang took office, the western regions rebelled and made an insurrection, and Ren Shang was recalled because of infighting, just as Ban Chao warned.

3. Ban Chao's story-joining the army.

When Ban Chao copied documents for the imperial court, he worked at his desk every day. He often stopped to write a sigh and said, "As a gentleman, I should always learn from Fu Jiezi and Zhang Qian, who have made great achievements abroad, and make the marquis a title. How can I always make a living by doing this kind of pen and ink? " Others laughed at him, but Ban Chao said, "How can ordinary people understand the hearts of people with lofty ideals!" ?

The gas order is smooth, the customs are light and brave, and the three treasures are respected. " Today, Xuanzang lecture hall remains the same.
