Important historical position in ancient times

Xinjiang was called "Western Regions" in ancient times. As early as BC 138, Zhang Qian made his first mission to the Western Regions at the behest of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to unite the Vietnamese at that time against the Huns. At the same time, due to the importance of the geographical location of the western regions, the Han Dynasty also hoped to establish friendly relations with countries in the western regions. Then in BC 12 1 year, the Han army attacked the Hexi Corridor, and finally directly connected the territory of the Han Dynasty with the western regions. Through the continuous expansion of the Han Dynasty, by 48 BC, most areas of Xinjiang were included in the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.

As the famous "Silk Road", the Western Region not only opened the door to economic and cultural exchanges between China and the West, but also realized the rapid development and prosperity of the Western Region. At that time, Chinese and western cultures met and blended here. Horses, fur products and rich fruits from the Western Regions were continuously transported to the Central Plains at that time, and China's silk, sericulture technology and papermaking technology also spread to western countries through the Western Regions.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains of China through the Western Regions, and Master Faxian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty went to India to learn from the Buddhist scriptures through the Western Regions, and wrote down the story of Buddhism. Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty learned from the Western Regions and went to India to learn from them, and wrote The Tale of the Western Regions of Datang.

The rapid development of Xinjiang's energy industry has played a very important role in alleviating China's energy supply.
