There is a fortune teller in Wang Bo Town, Fangcheng County _ What is the name of a fortune teller in Wang Bo Town, Fangcheng County?

Why did Zhang Qian, who started the Silk Road, seal his post in Fangcheng, Henan?

In BC 138, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty jointly crusaded against Xiongnu and sent a doctor, Zhang Qian, to the Western Regions. A delegation of 100 people led by Zhang Qian set out from Chang 'an and was detained by Huns on the way. 1 1 years later, when he returned to Korea after a narrow escape, only he and an entourage were left. Zhang Qian didn't reach the summit this time, but he learned about the situation in the Western Regions and the desire of people in the Western Regions to communicate with the Han Dynasty. In BC 1 19, Zhang Qian was once again ordered to lead a delegation to the Western Regions and visit all the countries in the Western Regions, thus establishing friendly relations between the Western Han Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions.

Since then, the silk products and advanced farming techniques of the Central Plains have spread from Luoyang and Chang 'an to Wan Li, and continuously reached the western region of Asia and the hinterland of Europe. In recognition of Zhang Qian's outstanding achievements in "hollowing out the western regions" and opening up the Silk Road, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty made Zhang Qian a prince in the sixth year of Yuanshuo, and the fief was now Wang Bo Town, Fangcheng County, Henan Province.

Zhang Qian's hometown is the old city of Hanzhong. Why was he named Wang Bo in Fangcheng?

According to Cihai, from the establishment of Wangbo County by Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, Wangbo County lasted for more than 600 years, and the ancient city of Wang Bo was the location of Wangbo County. Adjacent Wancheng and Yuzhou have fertile land, developed culture, convenient transportation and rich products. They are the distribution centers of silk, porcelain, ironware and agricultural products, and become the main sources of Zhang Qian's missions to the Western Regions. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conferred the title of Zhang Qian here, which not only showed his contribution to hollowing out the western regions, but also ensured the long-term and stable supply of materials on the Silk Road.

Fangcheng is located at the intersection of Funiu Mountain Range and Tongbai Mountain Range, where the mountain suddenly sinks, forming a huge natural pass. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Fangcheng belonged to Gou State. In the Spring and Autumn Period of 688 BC, the King of Chu, Deng Guodong, successfully conquered Shen Yuan from the north, incorporated Shen and Gui into the territory of Chu, and set up a county here. In order to defend itself, control the southern soil and strive for the hegemony of the Central Plains, Chu built a square town at the entrance of Xialuguan and sent troops to defend it, hence the name "Fangcheng". In the north of Fangcheng, the Great Wall of Chu, with a total length of more than 600 miles, was built with the pass as the center, starting from the northeast of Dengzhou in the west and reaching the tanghe county border in the east. More than 400 years earlier than Qin Changcheng, it is the earliest Great Wall in China. Therefore, it has become an important barrier to the north-south thoroughfare. Huainanzi, together with Dafen, Jingxing and Juyongguan, is also called "the Nine Wonders in the World". 1997, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued the "Wan Li Great Wall White Memorial Cover".

The silk road is far away and the camel bell is long. Fangcheng Silk passed through the Silk Road "flying over Dai Yue", and the products and customs of the western regions also flowed into the Central Plains along the Wan Li Silk Road, leaving a rich cultural heritage of the Silk Road in this area. In Nanyang Han Dynasty stone relief published by Cultural Relics Publishing House 1985, there is a portrait of "riding a horse", which is a vivid scene of Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. There are a large number of images of Hu people in the Han Dynasty stone reliefs unearthed in Fangcheng, which shows that there have been frequent exchanges between here and the western regions during the Han Dynasty.

There is a small ravine in the southeast of Xiaoshidian Town, Fangcheng County. In the 1970s, local people found 32 shrines on two huge stones on the mountainside, with a total of 138 Buddha statues, mainly including Sakyamuni Buddha, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Ananda, Ye Jia, monks and so on. These Buddha statues are westerners with high noses and deep eyes, and have a strong Indian Buddhist style.

According to the research of Yang Lian, a famous expert in the history of the Western Regions, these stone carvings of Buddha statues were hundreds of years earlier than the formal introduction of Buddhism into the Central Plains. It was probably carved by the people from the western regions who came to the Central Plains with Zhang Qian after Zhang Qian was made a prince of Bo. Yang Lian's "Two Topics in the History of the Silk Road" published in the 6th issue of Knowledge of Literature and History in 2009 pointed out: "In the whole history of the development of the Silk Road, defending the city is an important link that cannot be ignored."

Today, more than 2000 years later, although the ancient Silk Road silenced Ma Si and Camel Bell, the miracle of international trade initiated by Bo Wanghou Zhang Qian has been rooted in the memory of Fangcheng people and solidified into a tall Zhang Qian stone statue standing on the land of Fangcheng.

In the "One Belt, One Road" initiative, Fangcheng County took advantage of the trend and created an upgraded version of the tourism industry focusing on Silk Road culture: the ancient city of Wang Bo, Hou Feng, Zhang Qian and other related cultural relics were restored; The ancient ruins were upgraded to Wenhua Garden on the Silk Road; Fogou Cliff Statue Stone Carving Area has been planned and developed to a high standard; Seventy-two pools with "China's No.1 Shichuan" and Qifeng Mountain with the signboard of "China's earliest Chu Great Wall" have been included in the plan to create a national eco-tourism demonstration county, attracting tourists from all over the world. ...

Fangcheng people stood on the ancient Silk Road, embarked on the "Belt and Road" and wrote a new legend of the Silk Road.
