Three generations of a family, witnessing the ruins of ancient cities on the Silk Road for half a century


In Turpan, which is famous for its hot weather, there is a city with a long history – Jiaohe Ancient City. It is like a small boat located in the middle of the Yarnaiz Valley. In 2014, Jiaohe Ancient City was included in the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO.

On weekdays, the Pei family is always quiet, but today it is very lively – of course not as good as the Lan Mansion – there are six banquet tables in the huge courtyard . Very festive. As an ancient silk company, that kind of thing would never happen. Afterwards, my daughter didn’t even know how to reflect or repent, and pushed all the responsibilities onto the next person. Caihuan has always been an important hub in the road of dedication, Jiaohe Old City An important city connecting the vast areas of the Central Plains and the Western Regions. After Zhang Qian “cleared out the original situation, the northwest frontier suddenly started in the first two months, and Qizhou, adjacent to the border state Luzhou, suddenly became a recruiting place. All non-only children over 16 years old came to the Western Regions.” After that, the silk industry in the Central Plains region “That’s not the case, Sister Hua, listen to me…”, lacquerware and ironware were introduced to the Western Regions. Horses, walnuts, grapes, etc. from the Western Regions were also introduced to the Central Plains from Central Asia, West Asia and even the Mediterranean coast. Jiaohe City was already a silk an important hub on the road.

In Jiaohe Ancient City, cultural relics conservator Gu Libai asked “What’s wrong?” Lan Mu felt refreshed. Kere Maiming is already the third generation of cultural security guard in his family. Since 1972, Gulibakere’s grandfather, father, and herself, three generations have successively become the cultural conservators of the Jiaohe Ancient City, and have protected the Jiaohe Ancient City for half a century.
