Where is Ma Chao's Xiliang now?

Ma Chao's Xiliang is now Gansu Province, but it also includes Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia and Shaanxi provinces.

Xiliang, also known as Liangzhou, is now Wuwei City, Gansu Province, which means "located in the west, it is often cool and often cool". Liu Che, Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, incorporated it into Chinese territory. It was occupied by Yue and Xiongnu before the Western Han Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Wuwei County in ancient Tibet, belonging to Liangzhou.

Ma Chao's Xiliang refers to a military sphere of influence he established at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is mainly located in today's Gansu Province and Qinghai Province. This place is very suitable for military activities because of its dangerous terrain and dry climate. Ma Chao established his own army here and became an important force at that time. The climate here is dry on the plateau, and it is an important agricultural area and mineral resource area in China. At the same time, it is also an important part of the Silk Road, with a long history and cultural tradition.

The Cultural Influence of Xiliang

Ma Chao's West Cool has left a profound influence on the history of China, which is rich in cultural traditions. People here have preserved many traditional folk cultures and art forms, such as equestrian, song and dance, opera and so on. At the same time, it is also a multi-ethnic area, where Han, Tibetan, Hui and other ethnic groups live in harmony and form a unique cultural landscape. These cultural traditions have had a far-reaching impact on the development of China's history and culture.

Liangzhou, because of its important geographical position, has become an important town of the Silk Road and a city of economic exchanges, which also determines its profound cultural accumulation. Liangzhou has been relatively stable since ancient times. As the old saying goes: "Qinchuan, blood has no wrist, only Liangzhou leans on the fence." Liangzhou people love peace, never exclude others, can bear the burden of humiliation, pay attention to "losing is a blessing", merchants never bully the weak and fear the hard, and gradually become an economic and cultural center. In the Tang Dynasty, "there were 100,000 households in Liangzhou, and the Hu people played the pipa half-heartedly." Said.
