The ancient tea-horse road promoted the trade in these areas.
The ancient tea-horse road is a famous trade route in ancient times. What areas did it mainly promote trade? The first slavery dynasties in Chinese history were Tibet, Yunnan and Sichuan. In the ancient Xia Dynasty, there was a kind of jewelry called Pei, where was it usually worn? Both the waist and the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are embroidered with square patterns, which are called "Buzi".

Today's ancient tea-horse road has long been covered by modern roads, and only intermittent bluestone sections are submerged in the lonely jungle, so it is difficult for people to see the whole picture of this mysterious ancient road. How to get to the ancient tea-horse road? Where does it pass today? What are the auxiliary lines outside the main road? ..... all this is confusing.

/kloc-More than 0/00 years ago, on this barren plateau in northwest Yunnan, many French and German missionaries came here to preach, and their footprints have covered the plateau in northwest Yunnan. Will they leave some accounts about the ancient tea-horse road? In Deqin County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Guo, a female scholar and editor of Yunnan People's Publishing House who is keen on the study of Shangri-La and the ancient tea-horse road, habitually went to the county library to consult materials. She was surprised to find that the small Deqin County Library had nearly 1,000 original books in foreign languages, including more than 300 original books in French. Local scholars told her that those books were originally the adherents of the Tzu Chi Church. All the books were brought by foreign missionaries or explorers in those years, and some of them were sent by missionaries after they returned to China to write books and make statements.

Although the books stacked on the shelves are displayed like treasures on the shelves of the county library, no one has turned them over for decades, and a slight stroke will raise a piece of dust. Guo leafed through one book at a time. Suddenly, in a book folder, she turned to a map, which was printed very clearly and beautifully. Guo, who is proficient in French, translated the French place names marked on the map one by one. Liu Qun, an expert on the ancient tea-horse road and vice chairman of Diqing CPPCC, said excitedly: This is actually a complete road map to the hinterland of Shangri-La! This map was printed in 1875 Bulletin of Geographical Society published in Paris, France. 150 years ago, an explorer named Fran? ois Badajean broke into Shangri-La. He entered the northwest Yunnan Plateau from India and visited Badong, Bai Di, Ye Zhi, Cigu, Deqin, Weixi, Zhongdian, Gongshan and other places along the rugged ancient tea-horse road, recording detailed and precious memoirs of his investigation and drawing exquisite maps. Experts believe that "this is a very important discovery. It is not only a complete map of the ancient tea-horse road found at present, but also has rare historical value for the study of the ancient tea-horse road. For many years, researchers from China Academy of Social Sciences and Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences have been speculating according to folklore that there is an attached line of the ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan and Tibet that can directly go out from Yunnan without going through the hinterland of Tibet. Social science researchers have been looking for traces of this road, but have not found a breakthrough. The legendary road seems to be submerged in the dust of history. The discovery of this old map more than 100 years ago strongly supports the researchers' speculation. The attached line of Yunnan-Tibet Tea-Horse Ancient Road can directly enter India from Dali along Dulong River via Liuku and Cigu, without crossing the hinterland of Tibet.
