Who can tell me the history of Zhang Qian?

Zhang Qian (about 164 ~ 1 14 BC), a native of Chenggu, Hanzhong (now Chenggu County, Shaanxi Province), was an outstanding explorer, traveler and diplomat in China during the Han Dynasty, who made great contributions to the development of the Silk Road.

In the first year of Jianyuan (before 140), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty became Lang. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to attack the Huns jointly with Yueshi * *, and Zhang Qian served as the special envoy. In the third year of Jianyuan-before 138, he left Longxi and was captured by Xiongnu. In Xiongnu 10 years, they got married and had children, but they always adhered to the Han Festival. After escaping, I went west to Dawan, passed Kangju and arrived at Dayue's home. The joint plan was rejected, and the Da Yue family no longer wanted to follow the Huns to Hangzhou. Then I went to the big summer and stayed for more than a year before I came 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 Yuan Shuo (BC 126), the Huns were in civil strife, and Zhang Qian took the opportunity to escape into the Han Dynasty. He gave a detailed report on the Western Regions to Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, who made him a doctor in Taichung. When Zhang Qian was in the summer, he learned that he could spend the summer by taking the road from the southwest of Shu (now Sichuan Basin) and taking the poison of India (now India). Because he advised Liang Wudi to open the route to the southwest, it was blocked by Kunming Yi and failed to pass. In the sixth year of Yuanshuo, Zhang Qian made contributions to the Xiongnu with Wei Qing, so he made a fortune and looked forward to it. In the second year of Yuanshou (before 12 1), he and Li Guang left Beiping (now northeast Hebei) to attack the Huns; Zhang Qian, who came late in the army, was beheaded, and made atonement with Hou to avoid being Shu Ren. Later, Zhang Qian advised Wu Di to unite with Wu Sun (in today's Ili Valley), and Wu Di took Zhang Qian as a corps commander. In BC 1 19, 300 people were sent to Wusun with tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, gold and silk. Zhang Qian sent envoys to Wusun and sent envoys to the surrounding countries such as Dawan, Kangju, Yueshi and Daxia. This trip has also achieved great results. Western countries also sent envoys to visit Chang 'an. Wu Sun sent messengers to send Zhang Qian back to Han, and offered a horse to thank him. Ding Yuan in the second year (former 1 15), Zhang Qian also. Died the following year. After he sent envoys, he led envoys from various countries in the western regions to Han; Wu Sun finally married Han, and * * * defeated Xiongnu. Zhang Qian is the founder of Hanergy's ability to communicate with the western regions. 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 has made outstanding contributions to the opening of the Silk Road from China to the Western Regions, which is praised by the world. At that time, there were no historical records in western countries, which were reported by Zhang Qian and recorded in Historical Records and Hanshu. They were the original materials on which the history of Central Asia was studied and had important historical value.

"Smell its source, from now on. How much do you want for this pig? Wanma has come so far. ..... "This was written by Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, when he took refuge in Qin Zhou (now Tianshui, Gansu) during the Anshi Rebellion. The "source-seeking envoy" praised in the poem is Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty. In the history of China, the story of Zhang Qian's voyage to the West has long been a household name, with some mythical colors. According to folklore, Zhang Qian was ordered by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to open the Western Regions. He once went to the source of the Yellow River in the "Western Heaven", met Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and took him back to Tianma. Standing on the ancient road between China and the West, the poet who was concerned about the country and the people remembered the famous minister who "hollowed out" the western regions and spread the national prestige far and wide for the benefit of future generations.
