The book "Immigration on the Silk Road" closely follows the theme of "immigration" and tells the story of immigrants in the past generations along the Silk Road. From the Northern Xiongnu who migrated westward to the inland immigrants who settled in Hexi, from the Eastern Turks who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty to the countries in the Western Regions that prospered on the Silk Road, from the immigrants under the big locust trees in Shanxi to the immigrants fleeing famine in modern times... The author Xu Zhaoshou uses the language of prose culture to narrate the people and events on the Silk Road since the Han Dynasty. The opening chapter "The Migration of the Huns" tells the story of the Xiongnu's continuous Hanization and migration process from the Western Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and until the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Historical figures sleeping in the classics one by one appeared on the historical stage. Xu Zhaoshou used language full of rationality and historical sense to constantly bring the scene back to the moments on the Silk Road.
