Xisha Nansha was first included in the China edition during which emperor's reign?

The first emperor to bring the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands into Chinese territory was Liu Che, Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty.

Emperor Liu Che of Han Dynasty

According to historical records, in 1 12 BC, after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty put down the rebellion in South Vietnam, Bo 'er County and Zhu Ya County were set up on Hainan Island, which formally administered the South China Sea Islands and sent navy officers to inspect Xisha and Nansha Islands. This marks the formal incorporation of the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands into Chinese territory. In modern times, among the cultural relics unearthed from Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, "Nanhai" first appeared on the topographic map of China in Han Dynasty. This discovery proves that during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands were already under the jurisdiction of China.

Boer County and Zhu Ya County formally administer the South China Sea Islands.

In the history books, in addition to the original text recorded in Hanshu, "Since Xuwennan in Hepu entered the sea, Dazhou traveled to Wan Li from east to west. In the first year of Yuanfeng, I thought that Bor and Zhuya County. "In addition, in the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, there is also the original text:" In the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Xu Wennan sent an envoy to the sea, and the sea was a continent, thousands of miles away from east to west, north and south, which was slightly different from Yu 'er County. "For the record. In this paper, Zhu Ya County and Boer County in Texas, as well as more than a thousand miles from east to west, north to south, mentioned this point. It can be seen that from the contents recorded in the two historical books, it can be determined that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was the first emperor to incorporate the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands into Chinese territory.

In order to better understand this knowledge point, here are some other details about the South China Sea Islands.

The South China Sea Islands consist of four groups of islands in the South China Sea: dongsha islands, Xisha Islands, zhongsha islands and Nansha Islands, and Huangyan Island east of zhongsha islands.

Xisha Nansha Islands, namely Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands, are located in the South China Sea of China. Xisha Islands is adjacent to Hainan Island, located in the middle of South China Sea and southeast of Hainan Island. There are 22 islands in Xisha Islands. Nansha Islands is located in the south of the South China Sea, far from Chinese mainland. Each of the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands has its own characteristics and pleasant scenery. At the same time, Xisha and Nansha Islands also have extremely important geographical location and strategic significance.

Nansha Islands

In terms of archipelagic characteristics, Xisha Islands are mostly marine islands, and Nansha Islands are the southernmost of the four South China Sea islands in China, with the largest number of islands and reefs and the widest distribution.

Since ancient times, the South China Sea Islands have frequently appeared in some ancient allusions. In the Book of Songs Daya Hanjiang in the pre-Qin period, "it is reasonable to live in Xinjiang, as for the South China Sea." Just mentioned the South China Sea. "Zhu Ya Haizhu" in Shan Hai Jing is another name for the South China Sea. In addition, there is a famous sentence "a thousand miles of Changsha, a thousand miles of stone ponds, and a thousand miles of the same color" in the Record of Qiongguan in the Southern Song Dynasty. These records are descriptions of the scenery and landforms of the Xisha Islands and Nansha Islands, which are of great literary and historical value.

There are many different answers to this question. For example, Tang Dezong Shiliguan in the fifth year of Tang Zhenyuan and Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty. The controversy of these objections lies in the different interpretations of the deeds in the history books and the actual decrees of the emperor. However, judging from the historical records of China's discovery and governance of the South China Sea, in theory, the South China Sea was incorporated into the Chinese territory during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
