In the third section, there are a lot of relatives in Tubo, and the caravan is too tempting

Twenty years belong to Lulong, and thirty years guard against the desert. I love meritorious deeds all my life, but I don’t realize that it is evil to join the army. Today, the guests have changed their temples, and they know that their bows are wrong. Their flesh aches and gold sores, and others become Wei Huo. Looking at the king’s gate with broken eyes, the king’s gate is suffering.

.

As a newly rising political power on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Tubo initiated extensive marriage alliances with Tubo under the wise leadership of Songtsan Gampo and other Zampos. At the beginning, this was all to strengthen Tubo's foreign exchanges and contacts.

First of all, the first one to talk about is the Tang Dynasty who married with Tubo.

The Tang Dynasty should be regarded as the most important relative of Tubo. In the more than 200 years since Princess Wencheng entered Tibet until the disintegration of Tubo, there were more than 190 envoy exchanges between the two sides. It is precisely because of the efforts and dedication of both parties that the Han-Tibetan family was formed.

A common cultural circle. This relationship has a long history. After being inherited and promoted in the Song Dynasty, it was finally completed in the Yuan Dynasty that the unification of the local political power and the central political power in Tibet was completed.

The second important country that married Tubo was Nipala. After Princess Chizun entered Tibet, it opened the prelude to the close exchanges between Tubo and the Nipala Kingdom. The exchanges between the two sides not only strengthened the bilateral relationship, but more importantly

It is the Tibetan influence in the Himalayas that is also expanding. Before the Nipala King Shiva Deva I gave up the throne, the Nipala Kingdom had been under the rule of the former prime minister Amsu Varma (the father of Princess Chizun). Later,

He proclaimed himself king again. Who wouldn’t covet the throne of the emperor? The descendants of Shiva Deva never gave up on regaining the throne, so after the death of Amsu and Varma, the throne was restored.

It returned to the hands of the son of Shiva Deva I, and the eldest son Udaya Deva II succeeded to the throne. But not long after, his brother Vishnu Gupta, who had a heavy army, launched a coup and ousted his brother from the throne of the emperor.

He became king. Narendra Deva, the child of Udaya Deva II, took advantage of the chaos in the country and fled to Tibet for help.

In 641, Songtsan Gampo saw the down-and-out Prince Narendradeva coming to Tubo. He entertained him very warmly and promised to help him regain the throne. Songtsan Gampo sent tens of thousands of elite troops to march towards the Nibala Kingdom in five directions.

Among them, the middle route escorted Narendra Deva to Nibala, and the other four routes attacked from both sides and supported each other, forming a semi-encirclement situation. Faced with the siege of the Tibetan army, Vishnu Jibu certainly would not return the armbar.

Prince Rendradeva, the king of Zure, Songfei Gampo, who originally wanted to help, told the generals that if Vishnu Dingduo surrendered and gave up the throne, he would still retain his glory and wealth, otherwise

Kill without mercy. However, Vishnu "Gupta" ordered the Nibhara army to fight to the death. However, their strength was low, and they were repelled by the Tibetan army in the first battle. The Tibetan army killed Vishnu who was reluctant to resist. Gupta and Narend

Radeva was given the throne.

From then on, the Nibolu Kingdom surrendered wholeheartedly to Tufan and paid tribute and taxes to Tumu. Because Niboluo's Buddhist culture was very developed, monks and laypeople from Tuchun often went there to worship, and Niboluo's culture further spread on the snowy plateau.

The third country that married Tuyuhun was Tuyuhun. In 638, Songtsan Gampo used Tuyuhun to sow discord between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and joined forces with Yangtong to attack Tuyuhun. After many wars, Tuyuhun was finally captured. Since it was conquered earlier, Tubo

The policy of supporting puppets was adopted in the local area. The little king Tuyuhun occupied a relatively superior position in the political life of Tubo than other tribes. The figure of the little king Tuyuhun can be seen in the oaths to promote Buddhism in Samye Temple. It is precisely because of this.

Due to this special relationship, in 689, Tubo Zanpu Tridu Songtsan married Princess Chibang to King Tuyuhun, and the two parties became relatives. In 710, Princess Jincheng entered Tibet and passed through the hometown of Tuyuhun. King Tuguhun and his mother, Princess Chibang, led the way.

The ministers expressed their welcome, and the two sides also exchanged gifts to commemorate each other. In 711, Tubo Duo Di Da Lun went to Tuyuhun and awarded Tuyuhun nobles jade stones to declare themselves. In 714, Tuyuhun was invaded by foreigners, and Tubo sent troops to support; in 727

, Tubo appointed his nephew, Little King Tuyuhun. Tubo could compete with the Tang Dynasty and achieve prosperity, but it was inseparable from the help of this relative.

The fourth ethnic group is Dangxiang. Dangxiang belongs to the Western Qiang tribe. In the early Sui Dynasty, the Dangxiang tribe moved inland. In the early years of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Dangxiang leader Xifeng Bulai led his troops to return to the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty established Guizhou (now Songpan, Sichuan) there. County northwest). After the rise of Tubo, its power continued to develop into the northeastern region and extended to the Dangxiang area. Under the pressure of Tubo, Dangxiang continued to move to the border areas of the Tang Dynasty.

After Songtsen Gampo succeeded to the throne, in order to unite with Dangxiang, he sent people with heavy gifts to propose marriage. King Dangxiang was also willing to marry him because of the power of Tushu. So King Dangxiang married Princess Jiamo Zun to Songfei Gampo. It was the later Concubine Ruyong. After Jiamozun married Tutu, she took the lead in the construction of Luochekacha Temple. Songfeigampo also ordered the construction of Yongzuo Rebugar Temple in Dangxiang. The bilateral relations were harmonious and there were frequent exchanges.

Since the terrain of Tubo is in the shape of a Rakshasa witch lying on her back, twelve demon temples need to be built. Songtsen Gampo ordered the construction of the Longtang Dolma Temple on the left palm of the Rakshasa witch in Kham District (in today's Dengke County, Ganzi, Sichuan). , so as not to cause trouble to the Xuecheng Plateau. The craftsmen who built the temple were mainly from the Dangxiang tribe. It is said that the Dangxiang craftsmen also participated in the construction project of Samye Temple.

After the rise of Tubo Buddhism, it also affected the Dangxiang area. The people of Dangxiang gradually accepted Buddhism and became their religion. After the establishment of Xixia, Buddhism became the state religion, and many Tubo monks participated in the political, cultural, religious and other affairs of Xixia.

The fifth one is Little Bolu. There was no distinction between big and small in the Bolu country. Later, Tibet pressed hard on Bolu and split it into big and small Bolu. Little Bolu is located in the Gilgit Valley of Kashmir today. The account was Yasin. In 692, Wang Xiaojie, the general manager of Wuwei Dao in the Tang Dynasty, defeated Tubo, recovered the four towns of Qiuci, Khotan, Shule, and Suiye, and resettled the Anxi Protectorate with 30,000 troops. Tubo continued to follow the old path It was no longer possible to go to the Western Regions by road, so he began to look for a new road. On the road to the Western Regions, Bulu was the first to bear the brunt.

After Tubo annexed Dabolu, in order to further strengthen its power in the Western Region, it continued to press against Xiaobolu. King Xiaobolu was very panicked. Tubo Chide Zuzan sent someone to inform him: Tubo was not trying to annex Xiaobolu. It was just to use the road to attack the four towns of Anxi. King Xiaobolu also knew the story of the false road to destroy Guo in the Central Plains, but due to the constant intrusion of Tibet, he had no choice but to agree, but at the same time he went to Chang'an in person and asked Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty to send troops for rescue. Tang Xuanzong The DPRK designated the land as the "Suiyuan Army".

In 722, Tubo attacked Xiaobolu. Beiting Jiedushi Zhang Xiaosong led his troops to rescue Tubo. Tubo's plot against Xiaobolu came to an end for the time being. In 740, Chide Zuzan sent his sister Chimalun (not the Queen Mother Chimalun) ) married King Xiaowulu. More than 20 tribes in the northwest all followed King Xiaobolu, so they all surrendered to Tubo. Since Tuti had controlled the east-west passage from Xiaobolu north to Nancongling, it threatened the Tang Dynasty. During the rule of the Western Regions, in 747, the Tang general Gao Xianzhi, deputy governor of Anxi, led his troops to conquer Xiaobolu, conquered Niduo City, and cut off the rope bridge over the Sui River. The Tibetan reinforcements could only look at the bridge and sigh.

But Tubo never gave up the fight for Xiaobolu. After the Anshi Rebellion broke out, the Tang Dynasty was busy quelling the civil strife and had no time to look west. Tumu took the opportunity to occupy the Congling area and Xiaobolu. Xiaobolu became the bridgehead for Tubo's outward expansion.

The sixth country is Nanzhao. Nanzhao cannot be regarded as relatives in the complete sense, but Zanpu calls King Nanzhao his younger brother, so they get married.

With the support of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao Piro Pavilion ruled the Erhai Sea, guarded the southwest gateway of the Tang Dynasty, and curbed the infiltration of Tubo forces. However, due to the misbehavior of Zhang Qiantuo, the governor of Yunnan, Nanzhao was pushed to the side of Tubo.

In 752, Tubo conferred Geluofeng with the title of Zanpu Zhong, the great imperial edict of Nanzhao, and rewarded officials at all levels in Nanzhao. Geluofeng and Tubo swore an oath to guard Nanzhao for Tubo forever, and the name was changed to the first year of Zanpu Zhong.

To commemorate.

Since then, Tubo and Nanzhao have been in close contact, as evidenced by the famous Sichuan-Yunnan Tea Horse Road.

Speaking of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, there are countless historical vicissitudes on this road. Since the exchange with the Tang Dynasty, the rulers of Tubo began to try their best to absorb the advanced system and splendid civilization of the Tang Dynasty. Civilization and progress depend on the whole country.

The self-cultivation nourished by the people from the bottom of their hearts is not something that can be obtained through iron-blooded battles. If you choose an item as the Han culture to cultivate people's sentiments, then tea has become the first choice.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is cold and dry all year round and is not suitable for growing tea trees. People in Tubo mostly eat high-calorie foods as their staple food. We all know that high-calorie foods will accumulate too much fat in the human body. If it accumulates too much in the body over time, it will

Sickness. Drinking tea can help the body decompose fat and prevent dryness and heat. According to "Dettol Manglu", "tea is a food, and Xirong and Tubo have eaten it since ancient times. Food with fishy meat can only be eaten by tea: highland barley

The heat cannot be understood by tea. It is the leaves of mountains and forests, and it is related to the country's sutra." Therefore, the Tibetans have developed the plateau lifestyle habit of drinking butter tea over a long period of time. Since there are few tea trees planted in Tibet, the Tibetan people

Basically all the tea leaves used were imported from the Tang Dynasty.

There is also a story about tea being introduced to Tibet.

It is said that Tridu Songtsan was seriously ill and had not eaten a grain of rice for several days. The imperial doctors were helpless and could only offer a large reward for a cure. Just when everyone was desperate, a body flew from the roof of the palace.

A beautiful little bird with seven-colored feathers, holding a small branch in its mouth, with a few green leaves on the branch, singing on the railing. Tridu Songtsan saw this beautiful little bird, and didn’t pay much attention at first.

I just thought it was cute. The next day, the little bird still came to the eaves with a twig in its mouth and cried. On the third day, it was still the same. Zamp couldn't help but feel suspicious, so he had someone catch it. The little bird spit it out of his mouth.

The branches flew away.

The waiter placed the branch brought by the bird on Zampu's couch. Tridu Songtsan had never seen such a branch before, and the leaves gave off a faint fragrance, which was refreshing. So he picked off a leaf and chewed it carefully.

, tasted the taste, and instantly felt energetic. He hurriedly asked people to boil the leaves with water, and the fragrance immediately filled the house. He tasted the boiled water carefully, and his condition gradually improved. He gradually fell in love with using this kind of leaves.

Boiled water, so he ordered a search for this kind of tree across the country and rewarded those who found it. However, after a long time, almost all of Tubo was searched, and still nothing was found. Just when everyone was desperate, a minister who was very loyal to Zampu

But a surprising discovery was made.

In the process of searching for the sacred tree, he unknowingly lost his way and entered the Tang Dynasty by mistake. From a distance, he saw a river not far away and a forest on the other side of the river. At that time, he only wanted to

Thinking about Zamp's illness, he decided to risk crossing the river. As soon as he entered the water, he suddenly found a big fish with golden scales appearing in front of him, and then swam to the other side. The river was wide, but the water was not deep, only up to his waist.

After crossing the river, he found that this forest was exactly the sacred tree he had been looking for so hard. There were many birds chirping in the forest. He thought: This must be the fish king appearing and leading me across.

He didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly gathered a large bundle of branches. However, he felt that one bundle of such magical things was too small, and the opportunity was rare. It would be better to collect more. So he gathered another large bundle.

But at this time, he began to have difficulties. Luoche City was so far away from here. How could he bring the sacred tree back to the capital? At this time, he just hoped that someone could help him and bring the things back so that he could treat Zampu.

He was sick, and he would have no regrets even if he died. Just when he thought of this, a white doe suddenly appeared, ran straight in front of him, and stared at the branches. Could this deer want to help him? After a while, he put the two bundles of branches away.

On the back of the deer, he gathered some more and carried them on his back, and returned to Tubo.

This man went through a lot of hardships along the way and finally returned to Lhasa. After entering the city of Lhasa, the minister fainted and fell to the ground. The Tibetan soldiers on patrol discovered him and saw the branches he was carrying, so they sent the branches to Zampu

In front of me, Tubo Zampu was very happy and rewarded the minister heavily. After a period of conditioning, Zampu's body recovered. This is the story of tea being introduced to Tubo. The magical leaves in the story that can cure diseases are what we drink today.

of tea.

After Tridu Songtsan recovered from his illness, he told the ministers around him that people in the Tang Dynasty also used special porcelain bowls to drink tea. We should also learn from them to use such bowls to drink tea. So he specially sent envoys to

Chang'an visited the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and asked for a bowl like this. The Tang Dynasty not only fulfilled their request, but also sent a group of skilled craftsmen to Tubo to build a kiln specifically for firing porcelain. It is said that the first batch of porcelain was fired.

The pattern in the bowl is a picture of a bird holding a tea leaf, which means that the tea tree comes from a bird holding a tea leaf.

From then on, tea became an indispensable item in Tubo. From top to bottom, Tubo fell in love with drinking tea. Some princes and ministers were even proud to own various tea leaves from Han. During the reign of Dezhong in the Tang Dynasty, there was a minister in the Tang Dynasty.

Chang Lu was on an envoy to Tibet. When he was making tea outside the residence arranged by Tubo, Tridu Songtsen happened to be passing by and asked him what he was cooking. It was so fragrant. Chang Lu told me that Tubo Zanpu said: boil

The thing is the tea that the Han people often drink. After hearing this, Chidu Songtsen said, we also have the tea produced by you, I will take it out for you to try. After saying this, he asked his entourage to go to the palace to get the tea and put it there.

In front of Chang Lu, Chang Lu was shocked after seeing it, because there were all kinds of tea produced by the Han people in front of him. It can be seen that tea has become a necessity in the daily life of the Tubo nobles.

This section introduces you to the two kings of Tubo, Shangding. The first recorded major event in Tubo history was that Zhigong Zampu died in a duel with minister Luo Ang and the consequences it brought, which also made people in the Niyang River Basin

The Gongbu area has a special relationship with the Yalong tribe located in the Yalong River Basin.

After Zanpu's position was usurped by Luo Ang, the three sons of Zhigong Zanpu, Xia Chi, Nie Chi and Jia Chi, fled to the Gongbu, Niangbu and Bobu areas respectively (there is also a saying that only those who fled to Linzhi area were

Xia Chi and Nie Chi). Luo Ang was later killed by the legendary Rulajie. Rulajie welcomed Niechi back to his homeland and became Zanpu, also known as Budgongjie. Together with his father Zhigong Zanpu, the historians called him

As the "Second King of Shangding".

The Tibetan King Drigong Zampu, who was the successor of the Seven Heavenly Red Kings, accidentally cut off the light rope that connected him with the heaven in a duel. From then on, the Tibetan King stayed in the human world.

From birth to the age of twenty-seven, Zhigong Zanpu believed in Yong Zhongben according to the practice of his ancestors. When he was twenty-eight years old (the year of the turkey), he changed his practice and exterminated this religion.

Zhigong had a son with Pasa Chizenma, named Bude Gongjie. His guru was Xiangxiong Cegyalpo, and his temple teacher was Chize Guozha.

From Zhangzhong, he invited two brothers, Qiongbu Muqiongjian and Laqiong, to the Tubo area to teach the various branches of the religion, such as the Five Parts of One Hundred Thousand Chant and the Eight Realms, etc., and established the basic law of Beituoqing.
