Speaking of the pro-Qin policy in the Tang Dynasty, it was far less servile than the Huns in the early Western Han Dynasty. The most famous figure is Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the royal family, formerly known as Li Yaner, who lived from 625 to 680 AD, which happened to be the historical period when the early Tang Dynasty turned into the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Princess Wencheng is smart and beautiful. Influenced by her family since childhood, she is polite and deeply convinced of Buddhism. She dared to obey the will of Emperor Taizong and married Tubo far away, which revealed her heroic nature of integrity. You know, Tubo is not in Jiangnan. Living in such a remote place is like turning over a new leaf.
It happened that Li Shimin took political revenge for swallowing eight pieces of waste. He argues that a marriage is worth hundreds of soldiers.
In 640 AD, in the fourteenth year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, Songzan Gambu of the major tribes was allowed to send envoys to Chang 'an, and the biggest task was to marry. In order to marry the world-class power Datang, Songzangan invested a lot of money. The ritual list of employing people includes: gold 5.2 thousand, the direct reason for the marriage of Bai Taizong is politics; Not gold, silver and jewels. In all fairness, Songzan Gambo is a hero in Tibetan history. He rose in the Yalong Valley in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River. It was very easy to unify Tibetan areas, so he took the high position of Zampa. Of course, Emperor Taizong would bet heavily on him. In this way, the teenage Princess Wencheng volunteered to become the official wife of Songzan Gambu. That year, Songzan Gambu was just 25 years old.
In the 15th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, that is, in 64 1 year, Princess Wencheng left Chang 'an for Tubo accompanied by Li Daozong, the cousin of King Jiangxia and Lu Dongzan, the wedding envoy of Tubo. Songzan Gambu personally greeted him at the White Sea, paid an audience with Daozong, and performed the ceremony of son-in-law. Then I took Princess Wencheng back to Lhasa, which is now Lhasa. Princess Wencheng has lived in Tubo for nearly forty years and has always been respected. According to books such as "The Hereditary Mirror of Tubo Dynasty", when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, the etiquette was extremely grand and the team was very large. Tang Taizong's dowry was extremely luxurious. It is said that the dowry list includes siddhattha gotama, treasures, jade bookcases and 360 volumes of ancient books. Plus all kinds of gold and jade ornaments. He also presented all kinds of cooking food, various patterns of brocade quilts, 300 kinds of divination classics, 60 kinds of books on distinguishing good from evil, architecture and technology, 100 kinds of therapeutic prescriptions, 4 kinds of medical books, 5 kinds of diagnostic methods, 6 kinds of medical instruments, and various grains and turnip seeds.
It is said that all the above items have strict intellectual property rights. For example, when the princess of the Western Han Dynasty married the Huns, it was forbidden to carry silkworm eggs, silk, porcelain and other utensils. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the production technology of porcelain and silk was an official monopoly. It happened that Princess Wencheng could be carried to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in large quantities, which in itself was the favor and trust of the imperial court.
After life settled down, the Han musicians brought by Princess Wencheng began to perform their duties. They worked very hard to play the most popular music in Tang Palace for Songzan Gambo and Princess Wencheng. The music is soothing and beautiful, so that Songzan Ganbu seems to smell the fairy sound. He was full of praise for musicians and music, and selected a group of boys and girls with smart qualifications to learn from Han musicians, so that Han music gradually spread throughout Tubo and flowed into the hearts of Tubo people.
Later, the scribes also began to work. They helped to sort out the relevant documents of Tubo, recorded the important conversations between Songzan and ministers, and made Tubo politics go out of the primitive and move towards normalization. While Songzan Gambu was delighted, he ordered the ministers and nobles to sincerely worship the scribes as teachers, learn Chinese culture and study the poetry books they brought. He also sent a group of aristocratic children thousands of miles to Chang 'an, entered the countries of the Tang Dynasty, studied poetry and books, and brought Chinese culture back to Tubo.
Princess Wencheng brought agricultural technicians to Tubo, sowed the grain seeds brought from the Central Plains on the fertile soil of the plateau, and then carefully irrigated, fertilized and weeded. The harvest season has come, and the robust and amazing high yield of crops have made the Tubo people stare big. At that time, Tubo people also planted some crops such as highland barley and buckwheat, but due to poor management, they often only planted them, so the yield was extremely low. They have to admire the superb planting techniques of Han agricultural technicians. Inspired by Songzan Gambu and Princess Wencheng, agricultural technicians began to teach agricultural technology to Tubo people in a planned way, so that they could harvest a lot of food while nomadic. Especially after the technology of planting mulberry and raising silkworm was passed on to them, Tubo gradually had homemade silk fabrics, which was a pioneering work across the times.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, died, and his successor was. The new emperor of Tang Dynasty conferred Songzan Gambu as a captain of Xu and the king of Xihai County, and sent special envoys to send a large number of gold, silver, silks, poetry books and grain seeds, and specially sent ornaments and cosmetics to encourage her and care for her merits. Thank you for the above letter, and faithfully say: The son of heaven just ascended the throne. If his deputies are disloyal, they should be diligent soldiers to go to the country to get rid of it.
And present fifteen kinds of jewels, please stay in front of Taizong's tomb to show your grief. Songzan Gambu's loyalty moved Tang Gaozong, made him a guest king, and gave him three thousand colored silks. After the Tubo emissary arrived in Chang 'an, it was an eye-opener. Tang Gaozong was happy, so he asked him about the technology of brewing, rice milling, paper making and inkstone making, and Tang Gaozong agreed. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, on the basis of Princess Wencheng's contact, reached the point of perfection.
In the first year of Yonghui in the Tang Dynasty, in 650 AD, after the death of Songzan Gambu; Princess Wencheng has been living in Tibet. She loves Tibetan compatriots and is deeply loved by the people. She designed and helped build Jokhang Temple and Jokhang Temple. Under her influence, the technologies of milling, weaving, pottery making, paper making and wine making of the Han nationality were spread to Tubo one after another; She brought poems, agricultural books, Buddhist scriptures, historical books, medical books, calendars and other classics, which promoted the economic and cultural development of Tubo and strengthened the friendly relations between the Chinese and Tibetan people. The golden Buddha statue of Sakyamuni she brought is still worshipped by the Tibetan people.
