What do you associate with Loulan🏜️❓ Is it a distant and mysterious Western Region ancient country🏯❓ Or the stunning Loulan beauty👸❓ Loulan, this ancient country that has disappeared for thousands of years🏜️, has left us too many unsolved mysteries. But the traces of its existence - those broken walls, those Lop Nur documents📖, that little river princess who has been buried for nearly four thousand years👑...... time and time again stimulate our nerves, declaring to us its once glory and brilliance🌟. The 'Han Book·Western Regions'📖 records that Loulan was once bustling with traffic, and the prosperous business on the Silk Road made Loulan a wealthy and prosperous city-state💰. However, such prosperity only existed for more than eight hundred years, and Loulan disappeared like a mirage🙄. 👉💗Ancient country for a thousand years·Reappear true face💗 On March 27, 1900, Swedish explorer Sven Hedin, during his investigation in the Lop Desert, a sudden sandstorm🏜️, led him to discover this ancient city that had been buried in the sand for a thousand years. After hastily leaving a mark, on March 3, 1901, Sven Hedin arrived again with the expedition team🚶, and began to excavate⛏️. Here, Sven Hedin and his team excavated a large number of cultural relics, and according to the wooden slips and paper documents unearthed later📖, it was confirmed that this city belonged to, and this ancient city that had been sleeping for a thousand years was thus awakened🏯. 👉💗Sand cover·Disappear mystery💗 As for the reason for the disappearance of Loulan, there are several reasonable theories in academia: ⭐Lop Nur drought theory In the 5th century AD, Loulan was in a cold period🧊, in ancient times, the water source in the Western Regions mainly depended on glacial meltwater💦, at this time the water source decreased, at the same time, the Loulan people cut down the Populus euphratica forest🌲 in their daily life, accelerating the loss of water💦. Under the superposition of various factors, the Lop Nur area became increasingly arid🔥, humans could not survive, and the ancient country of Loulan gradually disappeared in the sand🏜️. ⭐⭐Loulan is no longer a necessary passage on the Silk Road In the early Western Han Dynasty, the slave people controlled the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty's caravans🐫, envoys🚶 had to go to the Western Regions from Yumen Pass through Sanlong Sand, Bailongdui, to reach Loulan. This road is all desert🏜️, Gobi, harsh conditions. Traveling in the uninhabited desert, without water source💦, and dry weather🔥, for ordinary people, it is really hard. Therefore, by the end of the Western Han Dynasty, people opened a new route, the Silk Road changed to Gaochang, when Loulan was not needed, it was also the beginning of Loulan's decline. In Loulan🏜️, every grain of sand seems to carry an ancient story, every gust of wind is like a whisper through a thousand years👂. Here, you can feel the perfect combination of nature and history🔥, let the thousand-year-old legend here intertwine with your emotions, let the endless charm here collide with your soul
