Chapter 67 Emperor Yang of Sui at the Silk Road Feast (Part 2)

The owner of the stall meeting Madoudou asked curiously as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Boss, have you seen Emperor Daye?"

The noodle stall owner scratched his head embarrassedly and blushed with embarrassment.

"Our family has been in Zhangye for generations. What I just told you is the news I heard from the Silk Road merchants. He was the first emperor to step into the Hexi Corridor. He invited leaders of various countries to hold a party here, which is the first time since ancient times."

The owner of the noodle stall was proud that Emperor Yang of Sui was able to visit Zhangye in person.

When the traffic level was low, it was not easy to cross the Qilian Mountains at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

Emperor Yang of Sui actually did it, and he did it very well, which was unprecedentedly grand.

The feast scene was magnificent, with thunderous cheers and merchants from all countries in the Western Regions gathered. The princes and envoys of the 27 Western Regions wore gold and jade and decorated with beautiful beauty. They had been visiting Emperor Yang of Sui long ago on the road to greet Emperor Yang of Sui.

At that time, the Turks, Silla, Mitre, Bi Daci, Hedu, Chuanyue, Wunaho, Bola, Tochar, and all the countries were not involved in the event, and they were known in history as the "World Kingdoms Expo".

(Zizhi Tongjian records this grand event: "The barbarians accompany the list of more than 20 countries.")

At the feast, Emperor Yang of Sui personally visited the "Guanfengxing Hall". The hall displays treasures and antiques, silk and silk, showing the rich Sui Dynasty style. These treasures are allowed to be appreciated and enjoyed by the kings and envoys of the Western Regions to demonstrate the prosperity of the civilization of the Sui Dynasty.

Subsequently, Emperor Yang of Sui set up a state banquet to invite envoys from more than 20 countries including Gaochang and ministers, as well as some representatives of the people. Madoudou and Zhiguoguo were fortunate to follow the noodle stall owner and also attended the feast as representatives of the people.

The successful holding of the expo demonstrated the mighty and majesty of the Sui Empire and the inviolability of the Sui Empire. The leaders of the Western Regions who came to the banquet were impressed by the strong economic strength of the Sui Dynasty, which was conducive to the stability of the western border and the development of economic and cultural affairs.

At the same time, the Silk Road was unobstructed again, and more than 30 countries in the Western Regions surrendered one after another. The kings, envoys, merchants and merchants visited Dunhuang, Zhangye, Liangzhou, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yangzhou, Guangzhou and other places to visit and do business, which promoted the prosperity of Sino-Western trade and the exchange and integration of Sino-Western culture. This grand event opened the precedent for the World Expo. After that, merchants gathered in Zhangye for commercial trade, and the "Silk Road" entered a period of prosperity again.

The Sui Dynasty was a very important dynasty in Chinese history. Although it lasted for a very short period of time, its importance cannot be ignored.

Before the Sui Dynasty unified the four seas, the land of China lasted for 300 years, "the world was in chaos and the world was different", "the calligraphy was different, and people were suffering from it". The unification of the Sui Dynasty played an unreasonable role in the high development of material and spiritual civilization in China's feudal society.

【Sesame brother and sister have something to say】

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, whose real name was Yang Ying, his nickname was A?? (mó), was from Hongnong Huayin (now Huayin City, Shaanxi). The second emperor of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui, and the second son of Dugu Jialuo, Empress Wenxian.

When Emperor Yang of Sui was the King of Jin, he led an army of 510,000 to march southward to launch an attack on the prosperous Later Chen, ending the war era in China and reunifying China.

Emperor Yang Guang of Sui reigned for 14 years. He "unified the country and the mountains", "built the canal", "west tour of Zhangye", "three tours of Jiangdu", and "three tours of Liaodong" can summarize what he did in his life. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was also one of the worst-known emperors in Chinese history. In the eyes of most people, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui was a debauchery of rich second generation, a foolish and devastated king of the country. It was mainly manifested in his cruelty to loyalty and kindness. He traveled excessively, spent his extravagant use of people's power throughout his life, and recruited tens of millions of people, and the people were living in poverty.

However, most people don’t know that he has another face - a talented and strategic worker. He reigned for fourteen years, pacified the Chen Dynasty and unified the world. He built the Eastern Capital and moved the capital to Luoyang. He dug the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, which is in the present and for thousands of years. He created the imperial examinations, attached importance to education, completely broke the hereditary relations and the monopoly of the aristocratic races, and made the selection of officials fair. He expanded the territory of 50,000 miles, pacified Tuyuhun, promoted the great integration of all ethnic groups, allowed all nations to pay tribute, and established the status of our country's heavenly dynasty. The opening of the Silk Road gave China and the countries of the Western Regions economic and cultural integration, and enriched the connotation of China. He was also the only emperor who came to the Hexi Corridor in ancient Chinese history. He made great contributions to the prosperity of the Silk Road.
