This book uses a large number of archives, official documents, local chronicles and other materials to give a detailed description and commentary of this large-scale armed fight between natives and foreigners that took place during the reign of Xianfeng and Tongzhi. The book is divided into three parts and ten chapters.

"The Biography of Zhangye: Eight Sounds of Ganzhou on the Thousand-Year Silk Road" is an important book in the "Biography of One Hundred Cities on the Silk Road" series. Zhangye is the most famous Silk Road ancient city in the Hexi Corridor. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty focused his attention on the northwest and conquered the Hexi Corridor, this land that was once regarded as a barbarian land has a resounding name "Zhangye" - the arm of Zhangye to connect the Western Regions. Since then, the blueprint for the westward expansion of the Central Plains civilization has been opened, and a new scene of the integration of Chinese and Western cultures has also ushered in. "The Biography of Zhangye" takes this as an entry point and traces the past and future of this city through time. The hundreds of thousands of words contain unique cultural characteristics and the 8,000-year history of Chinese civilization: the sound of camel bells made Bowang Hou pass here when he left Yangguan in the west; exquisite silk floated all the way from Chang'an; the luxurious chariot of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty came here specially, and the world's first universal expo stopped here; Journey to the West The monks who went east lingered and chanted the Stepping Lotus; the iron hooves of Genghis Khan's war horse crushed the century-old dream of prosperity in the Western Xia Dynasty; King Su's vassal house ushered in a new nation later called Yugu in the Oala horn; the willow shade planted by Zuo Gong himself grew up with the stiff but not rotten Populus euphratica; the rays of the morning star shone on the cap badge of the West Route Army... This city bloomed in the dust of history and has been fragrant for a long time.
