Where is Qiuci in Han Dynasty now? What is the development of Qiuci's historical civilization?

Qiuci Kingdom is now the ancient city of Pyrrho in the eastern suburb of Kuqa. In Han Dynasty, Qiuci Kingdom was called Qiuci, and residents were good at singing and dancing, so Qiuci music and dance was born. As one of the four towns in Anxi in Han Dynasty, it has a very long history and culture. During the Tang Dynasty, Anxi Dadu was specially set up to protect this place.

First, the ancient history of Qiuci

At the earliest time, Qiuci was one of the 36 countries in the Western Region, which was managed by Xiongnu. The population here is prosperous and heavily guarded. In the Western Han Dynasty, because Proton Ruidan was killed in Qiuci, he sent troops to Qiuci and finally captured this country. Later, Qiuci was recaptured by Huns because of the national chaos. In the early years of Zhang Han in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he ordered Qiuci to surrender again.

Second, the historical civilization of Qiuci.

Qiuci is the meeting point of Rome, Persia, Han and Tang civilizations, so the people here are very dense, so the cultural civilization here is also very prosperous. In Qiuci, Buddhist culture is very prosperous. Buddhism spread widely from India to this place. At that time, there were many statues and Buddhist offerings in Qiuci, which were very frequent.

In this place, the Buddhist grottoes are also famous, so many people call it? The second Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes? There are six grottoes here, which are also the earliest Buddhist grottoes discovered and excavated today. Qiuci, as an important place of the Silk Road, it is recorded that Buddhism originated from the propaganda of Qiuci in China.

Third, Qiuci's art and culture.

Many people in this country are good at singing and dancing. At first, after Zhang Sai's voyage to the West, the "music map" he described was very similar to the customs of Qiuci. After the migration, most Qiuci people came to the boundary between the north and the south of China, which made great contributions to the local rise at that time. In the pre-Qin period, Qiuci music was introduced to China, which was deeply loved by many people. Since then, Qiuci music has been created and passed down from generation to generation.
