This book talks about disputes, migration, and separation to trade, culture, and reunification. It reproduces the historical stages of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in which turbulence and integration in the Western Regions coexisted, diversity and change were entangled, and literature and art shined. It writes the story of the annual rings of China. We will start from the chaos in the world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the unification of China by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, and continue to tell the story of the 400 years of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in the Western Regions after the "War between Han and Hungary". (The timeline of this book continues from the author's first book, "Four Hundred Years of the Western Regions: The Battle between Han and Hungary").

When Zhang Qian returned from his mission, he laid out the sheepskin map on Emperor Wu's desk, which clearly outlined an unknown territory and unknown country, and the ancient country of the Western Regions came into people's sight. Emperor Wu's eyes passed through the city wall of Chang'an and went to the edge of the Gobi desert. This land would eventually be hung with the battle flag with the word "Han", and the four hundred years of history of the Western Regions would begin here. It starts with the story of the Han Empire and the ancient countries in the Western Regions, puts the Han, the Xiongnu, and the Western Regions on the same era, and focuses on the life-and-death game between the Han and the Xiongnu in the Western Regions. The book uses historical facts as the basic framework, and the language style is popular and relaxed, without boring academic theories.
