More than 1,700 years ago, Rouran, a descendant of the sun god Apollo, suddenly appeared on the Mongolian Plateau at an unusual speed, galloping across the Eurasian continent tens of thousands of miles away. After 828, European history books unanimously declared that this once-prominent nation had been completely destroyed. In Russia, there are still more than 600,000 people who claim to be descendants of Avar (Rouran). This book narrates the history and civilization of Rouran to readers, and unfolds a three-dimensional and vivid picture of the ancient nomadic country in front of readers, allowing readers to feel as if they are in that era and experience the rise and fall of a generation of overlords in the Mongolian grasslands.
Reader comments
This book is like opening a door to the ancient grassland, making me seem to see the Rouran people galloping on the Gobi. The descriptions in the book are very vivid. I especially like the sentence "A 'devil' named Tuhazhen appears before me with a braided army." It reminds me of a friend of mine who likes to ride motorcycles. He also once galloped freely on the grassland. The history and culture of Rouran are really fascinating, I think this book is worth reading! 😄
