The most famous countries and places in the Journey to the West are all within the scope of our beautiful Xinjiang, but many people in China don't understand them. The town planner believes that if it can be well publicized and carefully built, it will definitely become a popular tourist attraction and bring huge economic and social benefits to Xinjiang.

1. The first place name on the Journey to the West is the daughter country on the Zimu River-Milan Town, 36th Regiment of Xinjiang Corps

There are different opinions on the historical materials. The Biography of Sui Shu's Female Country records that the "East Female Country" is the "daughter country" and is in the southeast of the green hills. "Green Ridge" is the Pamirs today, and "East of Green Ridge" refers to the territory of Xinjiang today. The Milan River is the pregnant Zimu River in The Journey to the West, and the ancient city of Milan is naturally the daughter country.

during the Han dynasty around a.d., Milan was a metropolis and capital of Shanshan, an ancient country in the western regions. Shanshan country, also known as the country of Loulan people. At that time, Lop Nur was much larger than the water before it dried up. It is a great lake left after the prehistoric sea retreated, with a maximum area of 2, square kilometers, twice the area of the Pearl River Delta today. The ancient Loulan people called her Pu Changhai. Milan is the city on the south bank of Lop Nur. At that time, Milan was a commercial center and the center of the exchange between Chinese and Western civilizations.

Milan has absorbed Indian Buddhism and Roman art. The spiritual wealth of human beings has spread to the mainland through Milan. After Buddhism spread to Milan, it became the belief of local residents. Several large Buddhist temples have been built locally. Faxian and Xuanzang, famous ancient monks, once stayed in Milan to study Buddhism. Xuanzang's life in Milan was integrated into myth. Therefore, the legend of the girl country in The Journey to the West is in Milan. The local river used to be called Zimu River (Milan River).

Today's daughter country is Milan Town, the 36th regiment of the 2nd Division of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (managed by the 4th Division), with a population of 8,2. According to the Records of 36 Regiments, on March 19th, 198, a letter was sent to the 36th Regiment of Xinjiang Corps from Milan, Italy, and the sender was the mayor of Milan, Italy. The main idea of the letter is that at that time, there were 58 cities in the world called Milan, including 4 cities in Asia. This time, I contacted Milan, where the 36 th delegation is located, by letter, with the intention of becoming a sister city. I also want to publish a book "Milan in the World" by integrating the information of all "Milan" cities in the world. The mayor's original intention is touching. As everyone knows, under the special political background of China at that time, it was difficult for him to respond to this letter of asking for directions.

Second, the second treasure elephant country in the Journey to the West-Kuqa City (Qiuci) in Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang

According to experts' speculation, the treasure elephant country in the Journey to the West is probably Qiuci, an important town in Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. Xuanzang called this country Quzhi in "Records of the Western Regions of Datang", "Quzhi country is more than a thousand miles from east to west and more than 6 miles from north to south. In the 17th and 18th week of the National Capital, there are japonica rice in Pu Tao pomegranate and many pears, peaches and apricots. The ancient city of Qiuci, the capital of Qiuci, is located in Kuqa City, Aksu Prefecture, Xinjiang.

Third, Wuji Country, the third place name in Journey to the West-Yanqi County, Bazhou, Xinjiang

According to research, the prototype of Wuji Country in Journey to the West is the Aryan Country in history, and the beginning of the Western Regions in "The Story of the Western Regions of Datang" is written as Aryan Country, "which is more than 6 miles from east to west and more than 4 miles from north to south. The capital of NUS is seven miles on Saturday, with mountains to the west. The road is dangerous and easy to keep. Springs and streams intersect, and water is diverted to fields. Soil is suitable for all kinds of fruits, such as millet, wheat, jujube, Pu Tao, pear, and glutinous rice. The order of the gas is smooth, and the customs are straightforward ... Wang, his countrymen, are brave and ignorant, so they call themselves cutting, the country has no discipline, and the law is not purged. " It is speculated that the reason why the Ayani country evolved into the Wuji country is that this country has another alias "Wuji". Due to historical misinformation and people's imagination, it has become the Wuji country written by novelists. Today, this "country" is Yanqi County, Bazhou, Xinjiang.

Fourth, the fourth famous car on the Journey to the West is Chiguo-Turpan City, Xinjiang

Chechiguo is also recorded in Xuanzang's "The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang". Xuanzang called Chechiguo "Cheshi" and the capital of Cheshi was Jiaohe City. Cheshi was an important commercial town on the Silk Road. As early as 45 AD, the Huns were trapped in Cheshi for eight years, and Cheshi Wang abandoned the city. Since then, Jiaohe has been incorporated into Gaochang, and the name of Cheshi has disappeared from history. To this day, the ruins of Jiaohe ancient city still exist, located in Yarnaizigou village, Turpan city today.

V. The Fifth Place Name of Journey to the West-Kaidu River in Bazhou, Xinjiang

At present, there are always five places called "Liusha River" in China, namely Liusha River in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, Liusha River in Hanyuan County, Sichuan Province, the only inland navigation river in Henan Province-Zhoukou Liusha River, Kaidu River (called Liusha River in Yanqi Hui Autonomous County in the northeast of Tarim Basin, Xinjiang) and Liusha River in ancient times. Due to the limitation of Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, he didn't pass through Yunnan, Sichuan and Henan, so it can be ruled out that the "Liusha River" described in The Journey to the West has nothing to do with these three places. In fact, many scholars do think that the "Liusha River" described in The Journey to the West is the Kaidu River in Xinjiang.

VI. The Sixth Place Name of Journey to the West-Flame Mountain in Turpan City, Xinjiang

Flame Mountain is a place name in The Journey to the West. The Tang Priest and his disciples went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the flaming mountain was the only way. The Flame Mountain is a big fire, and it is not an ordinary fire. Only a banana fan can fan it out. This leads to the allusion of the Monkey King borrowing a banana fan three times. The Flame Mountain is located in Turpan, Xinjiang. The Tang people once called it "volcano" because of its heat. The mountain is more than 1 kilometers long, 1 kilometers at its widest point, about 5 meters above sea level, and the main peak is 831.7 meters above sea level. Flame Mountain is the hottest place in China. The highest temperature in summer is as high as 47.8 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature on the surface is as high as 89 degrees Celsius. Eggs can be baked in the sand nest.
