What is the ancient country of Loulan like? Where will future generations move?

The ancient Loulan Kingdom, a mysterious pearl on the border, has gone through more than 800 years of wind and rain from the founding of the country in 176 BC to 630 AD, but it turned into yellow sand overnight and disappeared with the wind. The well-known history still attracts countless people's imagination and exploration.

Loulan, whose existence was first recorded in "Historical Records", is located in the north of Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang Autonomous Region, in the northwest corner of Lop Nur. As one of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, Loulan is a must-stop place on the Silk Road. The prosperous commerce has brought huge profits to Loulan. Chinese products and civilization have also been introduced to Loulan through the Silk Road. Loulan now appears It has become a paradise in the Western Region, a paradise in the desert. However, the Western Han Dynasty inevitably declined. The heroes of the Central Plains began to fight endlessly and had no time to take care of the Western Regions. Loulan also gradually lost contact with the Central Plains.

As for the disappearance of Loulan City, the most popular theory is that it was caused by the changes in the Silk Road. After the change of royal power from the Han Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty, the Silk Road changed its route to the north, and the Chinese garrison and farm work in Loulan also moved north. Therefore, under this situation, the ancient city of Loulan was gradually abandoned, and eventually the whole city was abandoned. The city is deserted. Some people also believe that the war caused the demise of Loulan. It is possible that after Loulan was occupied, the occupiers massacred the city and then evacuated. As a result, Loulan was gradually annihilated by the huge sandstorms in the desert.

Some scholars believe that the disappearance of Loulan is due to climate change. One theory is that Loulan was destroyed by drought, and another theory is that Loulan was destroyed by floods.

Regardless of the reasons that caused the ancient city of Loulan to become a ruin in the desert, Loulan’s glorious past will forever remain in the memories of the world...
