As the characters come on stage, the sound of gongs and drums begins, mixed with a deep voice full of grief, like a narration, and also like the protagonist.

Everyone was originally full of curiosity, but as the prologue began, they were instantly immersed in it, not blinking at all, for fear of missing anything.

At first, they thought the little characters looked funny.

Until more than an hour later.

Everyone's eyes were red, tears were about to fall, they sniffed, their voices were hoarse, "I don't know how to describe it. If you use "too hard" to summarize Princess Wencheng's life, it doesn't fit at all. She was a great person."

"Although I don't know how far it is from Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty to the Tibetan capital of Lhasa, I know it's not a easy road to travel, just by looking at the biting snow and wind and the countless difficulties and obstacles along the way."

"When I saw Princess Wencheng crying and saying she missed home, I couldn't help crying."

"Alas, in the end Princess Wencheng never returned to the Tang Dynasty."

"In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, I never expected..."

[Wow, w ...]

[It will definitely be more shocking to watch it live]

[I really want to watch it again]

[I didn’t expect that a few little people would make me cry so hard]

The screen dimmed and brightened.

Fu Yin appeared on the stage, and seeing everyone's eyes red from crying, he smiled faintly and said jokingly:

"Seeing everyone crying so hard, I felt bad, so I'll use a story to make amends."

"This story is related to the shadow play we just watched."

Everyone immediately looked at her intently.

Fu Yin: "Everyone is very interested in the documentary about Chinese history that I uploaded to Starnet. I also saw that you have watched it over and over again, so everyone has some understanding of the Tang Dynasty."

"So you should have figured out that this shadow play tells the story of Princess Wencheng, a daughter of the Tang Dynasty royal family."

"In 641 AD, Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty was ordered to travel to Tibet to marry King Songtsen Gampo. She set out from Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and went through numerous hardships and finally arrived at the Tibetan capital of Lhasa at the age of ."

"Do you remember how old Princess Wencheng was when she left Chang'an?"

With the Meow Meow plug-in, Fu Yin does not need to use a loudspeaker. Meow Meow will amplify her voice so that the people behind her will hear her voice as if it comes from the distant West, ethereal and distant.

Someone raised their hand and yelled hysterically, "I know! Sixteen!"

My throat was split, for fear that I would not be able to hear the sound of the talisman.

Fu Yin had heard it clearly, and gave him a look of affirmation and praise, "This friend is right, it shows that you have read it carefully."

[We also watched it carefully!]

[Online netizens are dissatisfied]

Fu Yin: "Princess Wencheng set out from Chang'an at the age of sixteen and arrived in Luoshui at the age of nineteen, which means that the journey to Tibet lasted three years. During this period, they passed through the western section of the ancient road, which was high in the mountains and dangerous in the weather. Even more than a thousand years later, this road is still difficult to travel. You can imagine the hardships they endured during the long journey."

Everyone gasped, looks of shock. Indeed, it took three years, and they had to sleep in the open air. Although they had a carriage, the mountain roads were rugged and they had to walk most of the time.

They couldn't imagine that if it were them...

"Is it possible not to get married?"

Fu Yin turned on the computer and expanded the virtual screen to the maximum. A map of China appeared in front of everyone.

Fu Yin held a laser pen in his hand, and the light fell on Chang'an and Luoshui of that year.

"The reason why China has the map it has today is that our ancestors left indelible contributions in it."

"Just like when Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, Huo Qubing defeated the Xiongnu, whose location is now the foothills of Yinshan Mountain in Inner Mongolia on the map."

"And Lhasa, which is the Tibetan city of Lhasa, does not belong to the Tang Dynasty."

"The territory of the Tang Dynasty is just this piece."

"Everyone knows that different environments can grow different things."

"In ancient times, there were overseas trade and the Silk Road, which proved that we should not close our doors to the outside world. Only by developing outwards can we avoid falling behind other countries."

"During the Tang Dynasty, marriage alliances were not just political alliances, but also provided an opportunity for economic cooperation between the two countries."

"When you were watching the shadow play just now, you also saw Princess Wencheng and her entourage pulling many packages and boxes, as well as a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha."

Everyone nodded in unison. When it came to snowy and windy weather, the carriage couldn't move forward and was blown backwards by the cold wind. They wished they could help push it.

Fu Yin: “It can be seen that Princess Wencheng brought a lot of things with her when she entered Tibet, including a large number of books, musical instruments, silk and vegetable seeds, medicines, and exquisite handicrafts.

The wedding team included a group of scholars, musicians and agricultural technicians.

It can be said that Princess Wencheng's marriage promoted the development of trade between the two countries.

Later, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty sent mulberry seedlings and silkworm seeds to Tubo, and dispatched many craftsmen who were good at sericulture, wine making, papermaking and ink making to Tubo to teach the skills, which greatly promoted the production development of Tubo.

Princess Wencheng assisted Songtsen Gampo in his efforts to implement political reforms, and Tibet developed in politics, military, economy, and culture.

Among other things, this has promoted the improvement of social culture and customs in the Tibetan region.

Under the influence of Princess Wencheng, Songtsen Gampo gradually fell in love with the Central Plains culture. He took off his fur coat, put on silk Tang suits, and sent aristocratic children to the National Academy to study Central Plains culture such as "Book of Songs" and "Book of Documents".

Princess Wencheng's visit to Tibet promoted close exchanges between the Tang (Han) and Tibetan peoples. Advanced science and technology from the mainland were also introduced to Tubo, such as papermaking, winemaking, medicine, calendar calculation, architecture, pottery making and other craft technologies. The Tang Dynasty also sent craftsmen, medical monks and calendar scholars from the mainland to Tubo to spread medicine, calendar calculation and other technologies.

The policy of marriage promoted the development of relations between China and Tibet through marriage, ensured the stability of the Tang Dynasty's rule, and laid the foundation for cultural and economic exchanges between the two countries.

Therefore, Princess Wencheng's marriage is of great significance to Chinese history!"

"The Great Hidden Journey" is condensed into ninety-five minutes, so some details are not that detailed after all.

After Fu Yin's explanation, everyone suddenly understood and admired Princess Wencheng even more.

“No wonder she was recorded in Chinese history. Princess Wencheng’s influence on Tibet and the Tang Dynasty was enormous.”

"In the end, we are just superficial."

"That's the overall situation. There were countless people who dared to sacrifice in that era. They were all heroes."

Fu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, "Later generations built the Princess Wencheng Temple and the Princess Wencheng Memorial Hall in memory of Princess Wencheng."

As she finished her words, the screen behind her changed, showing actual pictures of a memorial hall and Princess Wencheng Temple.

There was shock in everyone's eyes. Looking at the solemn and majestic Buddha statue, they felt their hearts tremble a little at this moment.

This is what it means to be remembered forever.

"Songtsen Gampo built a palace for Princess Wencheng from the Tang Dynasty to show his respect for her. It has survived to this day and is now the famous attraction in Lhasa - the Potala Palace."

The picture shows three fort-like palaces located on the top of Red Mountain.
