Guangming News: Traditional Chinese culture has a unique and still shining "Chinese wisdom" in resolving disputes, which is "valuing peace". In history, there was a long-standing conflict between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo for nearly 200 years. In the long relationship between the Tang and Tibetan dynasties, the swords and gold and silk were placed together. Through mutual envoys, marriages, wars, and other means, the relationship between the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups continued to settle and blend over the years.
In 823 AD, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo Dynasty signed a contract to end the friendship between their nephews and uncles, known as the "Changqing Alliance" in history. The Huimeng Stele is inscribed with the most famous words of the Tang and Tubo dynasties - "For my nephew and uncle". Beside the stele, there is also a "Princess Willow" planted by Princess Wencheng in Tibet, according to legend. These landmarks, which symbolize national unity, have also become symbols of friendly relations between the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups.
The Changqing League not only left a very oriental mark in the settlement of disputes throughout history, but also created conditions for Xizang to finally be included in the administrative jurisdiction of the central government of previous dynasties. So, how did Tang and Tubo achieve the "Changqing Alliance"? What does the friendship between nephews and uncles mean for the communication and exchange between the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups? Let's dream back to the Tang Dynasty and tell this historical story
