$公元前138年,一支由一百多人组成的和平使团从长安启程,踏上了西行之旅,开始打通东方通往西方的道路。这就是著名的张骞出使。西域。在敦煌莫高窟323窟的壁画中,清晰地记录着张骞出使西域临行前汉武帝送别的场景。汉武帝时,天下殷富,财力有余,是瓦强者。为了统一西域,他决心派一支高规格的使团出使西域,以加强中原与西域的沟通与交流。汉武帝招募出使西域的使者是张骞应募而出。张骞兼陕西城固人,年轻时期胸怀大志,胆识非凡。此时他并不知道,当他踏出长安的时候,东西方文明的交流也由此更加。紧密。张骞历尽艰险抵达大浴池,在路途与流居大月之期间,他对广阔西域有了详实的了解。据汉书张骞传记载,遣身所至者大宛,大月之大夏、康居,而传闻其旁大国五六具,为天子言其地形所有。他不仅亲自访问了西域各地和中亚诸国,而且大略了解到申都、安西等国情况。带回了西域各地的地理状况、风土人情的重要信息是汉武帝视野大开,这将是汉朝此后在西域开展治理的基础。公元前119年,张骞再度出使西域,友好的使团、贵重的礼物,让乌苏网密的交民对汉朝充满向往,他决定派使者跟随张骞返回长安,并亲自挑选塞外良马进献给汉武帝。使者带回了汉朝辽阔富庶的消息。不久,列茭米主动提出归心汉朝,与汉和亲。此后,大宛、康居等国使臣也陆续来到长安,汉朝与中亚、西亚开始频繁往来。在这期间,张谦派副使分道赴大宛、大月氏、大夏、安溪等地进行了访问,建立了。友好关系。张骞两次出使西域,是西汉中央政权第一次正式的和西域各地建立了政治联系,拉开了西汉统一。西域的大幕。沿着。张骞的脚步,人们不断西出阳关又东归,中途跨越关山大漠,走出了一条辉煌史册的丝绸之路。张骞出使西域被称为凿空。梁启超评价张骞为奸人磊落奇男子,世界史开幕第一人。自此之后,中原地区和新疆地区的经济文化交流日益密切,中原文明远播西域,铸铁、开渠、凿井等技术和丝织品、金属工具等的传入,大大促进了西域的。经济社会发展。与此同时,西域的名马、银器和毛织品以及胡桃、核桃等物种传入内地,西方的音乐舞蹈、绘画、雕塑、杂技等也源源不断传到中原。毫无疑问,张骞的壮举对中国统一多民族国家的形成起到重要的推动作用,同时促进了东方与西方的经济文化交流,至今还闪烁着历史的光辉。
