The mystery of the Loulan culture in the remote Ruoqiang.

The name Loulan first appeared in the "Historical Records" and was an important oasis city-state in the Western Regions. Its country name and city name are both called Loulan. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the Loulan Kingdom sometimes became the eyes and ears of the Xiongnu and sometimes belonged to the Han. It cleverly maintained its political life between the two major forces of the Han and the Xiongnu. It was founded in 176 BC and mysteriously disappeared in 630 AD, with a history of more than 800 years. The ancient Loulan Kingdom disappeared around 500 AD. The ancient Loulan Kingdom mysteriously disappeared in the Chinese history books and became an unsolved mystery. Regarding the reasons for its disappearance, researchers have proposed various explanations from different academic perspectives, including the drying up of Lop Nur, changes in the natural environment, and changes in river courses, but no conclusion has been reached yet. During my days living in Ruoqiang, I often go for a walk in the Loulan Culture Park, enjoy a leisurely life, and feel the mysterious time story on this land.
