About This Novel
From 1900 to 1901, 1906 to 1908, and 1913 to 1916, Aurel Stein, a British Hungarian, successively went to my country's Xinjiang and Hexi regions to conduct archaeological expeditions and published archaeological reports on these three expeditions: "Ancient Hotan - A Detailed Report on Archaeological Excavations in Xinjiang, China", "Archaeological Map of the Western Regions", and "Archaeological Map of the Heart of Asia". These three works are Stein's masterpieces. They comprehensively describe the ruins and relics of the Han and Tang Dynasties in Xinjiang, my country, as well as the treasures of the Dunhuang Grottoes and the Buddhist art of the Thousand Buddha Caves. They reveal the mystery of the ancient civilization in the region and the exchange and integration of Chinese and Western civilizations. The Travels in the Western Regions series integrates the archaeological data of Stein's three expeditions to western China and integrates and revise the above-mentioned archaeological reports so that the public can more easily understand the process and results. There are 15 volumes in the series. This volume comes from "Archaeological Records of the Heart of Asia": In March 1915, Stein investigated and excavated the Yingpan ruins. Yingpan was a military station in the Han Dynasty, guarding the middle route of the Silk Road and protecting business travel. At the Yingpan site, Stein combined with archaeological evidence to prove that Luntai was the seat of the Western Region Protectorate in the Han Dynasty.
