In Chinese history, there are many once glorious cultures developing, but it is a pity that a part of many Chinese cultures has disappeared with the passage of time, including the most famous ancient country of Loulan on our Silk Road, so let's take a look today, the once prosperous ancient country of Loulan, why is it said that it is gone, where did the people of Loulan go?
The Han book has recorded the grand occasion of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, and also introduced the prosperity of the ancient kingdom of Loulan at that time, and also mentioned that there are tall poplar trees, beautiful Loulan women, clear lakes, and many envoys and traders from various countries who come and go, and the streets are also very neat, and the scene is very prosperous. It's a pity that such a good ancient country is gone at a glance and destroyed, what's going on?
During the last century, Swedish explorers broke into the land of Lop Nur in Xinjiang, which was a wasteland, the place without water source was very terrible, they held shovels, in the process of searching, encountered a big sandstorm, in order to save his life he found a place to settle himself first, after the sandstorm, he ushered in an unbelievable scene, an ancient city ruins appeared in front of him, so he told others about his joy.
In 1901, Sven Hedin came to Lop Nur again, and this time he took with him a large number of documents and wooden tablets about them. Subsequently, there were several rumors that the ancient city of Loulan has become more and more a place that makes the world curious, so why did the ancient city of Loulan disappear?
The first is that some foreigners invaded Loulan, because according to ancient records, the ancient city of Loulan has been harassed by other ethnic groups for a long time, so it is very likely that it was destroyed by people, and the reason why it disappeared is probably because of war and fire. The second is that there was a big plague in the ancient city of Loulan, because the medical treatment was not advanced, so the people of the entire city died because of it. The third reason is that the place where Loulan is located is a desert land, and there is no water source, because of the geographical location, the water source of Loulan is cut off, so the ancient city is affected by the wind and sand weather so it disappears, and it can be seen from many tombs that Loulan has a record of asking for rain, and also sacrificed some cattle and sheep.
I have to say that it is a great pity that such a good ancient cultural country has been destroyed, and it is almost impossible to determine how it was destroyed.
