To the Western Regions: Historical Pictures of the Ancient Silk Road
About This Novel
History is not a few blunt words, nor is it a series of cold numbers. It can be as detailed as people's clothing, food, housing and transportation. The author selects ancient travel notes that passed through ancient Xinjiang, or stories of ancient people living in Xinjiang, and uses vivid writing to reproduce the natural geography, folk customs, and cultural landscapes of the Western Regions. The author combines ancient documentary records with unearthed cultural relics, explores the rich historical details behind the brief records in history books, and three-dimensionally reproduces the life trajectories, food, clothing, housing and transportation of ancient Xinjiang people and Silk Road travelers. From the perspective of more than a dozen real and semi-real historical figures, the author looks at the great changes in the natural environment and humanistic features of Xinjiang over the past 2,000 years.
