Zhonghua up and down five thousand years, three emperors and five emperors, Yao, Shunyu, Xia, Zhou and Shang. The history and culture can be said to have a long history. According to the records of Chinese history books, Xiaochao can be said to be the first hereditary dynasty in China. , Because although stories about the Xia Dynasty are recorded in a large number of Chinese documents, there are no historical relics, so foreign archaeologists expressed doubts about the existence of the Xia Dynasty.
Until an archaeologist made a major discovery in Lop Nur, in the eyes of the world, Lop Nur is a place full of mystery, this is because Loulan, the most mysterious country in the world, once existed here . However, there are few records about Loulan in history books. We don't know when Loulan was established, how it was established, and when it died.
But the legend about the ancient country of Loulan has never stopped. Therefore, Lop Nur, where Loulan is located, has also become a holy place for many archaeological enthusiasts. In 1900, when Sven Hedin of Sweden visited the Taklimakan Desert for the third time, he discovered the ruins of the ancient city on the northern shore of Lop Nur, the easternmost edge of the desert. Afterwards, the discovery of the ancient country of Loulan shocked the entire archaeological world, and groups of archaeological teams and explorers went to Lop Nur to investigate and study.
Until a few years ago, when an archaeological team in my country was investigating the ancient Loulan ruins, a large number of bones were found under the yellow sand in Lop Nur. At first, the scientific research team thought that these bones were buried in the yellow sand. They thought that these bones were explorers who lost in Lop Nur in the early years, but when they brought them back to research and laboratory tests, they found that these bones were more than 3,500 years old. history.
And more than 3,500 years ago, the history of our country was the time when the Xia Dynasty ruled, and whether the Xia Dynasty existed in the history of Lop Nur, in our "Shan Hai Jing", there was There have been some records. According to legend, the Xia Dynasty in history invaded West Asia and also provoked a large-scale war in the Lop Nur area. It is precisely because of this war that countless soldiers were buried under the yellow sand.
In combination with the large number of bones found by the scientific expedition team in the Lop Nur area, the records in the "Shan Hai Jing" are not myths and legends, but may be facts. This also means that the Xia Dynasty may indeed have existed in the history of our country. Of course, this statement has not been strongly confirmed, and historical research requires a lot of investigation and evidence, but the editor believes that "Shan Hai Jing" is not just a mythical story, it may be a record of ancient people's life.
