The Eariiest Contact Between China

and the Western Regions Before

the Qin Dynasty



I The Western Regions as Described in

Ancient Chinese History



The two great rivers of Huanghe (Yellow River) and

Changjiang (Yangtze River) flowed across the valleys and

plains of East Asia towards the sea, and between them opened

an extensive, fertile ground for the inception of Chinese Civ-

ilization. It was on this land that emerged the early human

society and widespread culture of the Stone Age, which was

followed by even more splendid cultures of the Bronze Age

and Iron Age. Thereby, China has distinguished itself as the

origin of one of the four ancient civilizations in the world,

along with the Nile River, Mesopotamia, Indus Valley and the

Maya Indians of Central America.



1. The Origins of Chinese Culture



The Xia Dynasty, which was founded during the 21st

century B.C., in an area across the middle reaches of the Yellow

River between its two tributaries of Yishui and Luoshui, was

known as the first slavery state in Chinese history. The dynasty

of Xia was succeeded by that of Shang, and later by the Zhou

Dynasty. Zhou, which was originally a princedom under Shang

in the' area of the current northern Shaanxi Province, distin-

guished itself from the neighbouring ethnics by calling its

nation both "Xia" and "Zhong Guo" (Middle Kingdom). The

people of Zhou, claiming themselves to be the descendants of

the Xia Dynasty, also called their own territory "Qu Xia" or

"You Xia" or "Shi Xia" (meaning Xia territory). The name of

"Zhong Guo" was used to indicate their identity as a farming

community, as opposed to the nomadic tribes in the surround-

ing areas.



During the reign of the Xia Dynasty, whose domain was

sometimes also called "Hua," its many princedoms-located in

the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River-referred to

their terntories as parts of "Hua Xia."



During the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 B.C.) and

the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.), political and econom-

ic exchanges increased among the prince states in both the

Yellow River and Yangtze River valleys, the territory of

"Zhong Guo" also expanded as a result. It was then that people

believed that this Middle Kingdom was 3,000 li (1,500 kilo-

metres) in both directions, a square-shaped area surrounded by

seas. This area, as described in the verses of the ancient liter-

ature Li Ji (The Book of Rites), was "extending to running

sand in the west, reaching Hengshan Mountain in the south,

bordering East Sea in the east and loo5king upon Mount Heng-

shan in the north." Such an area, which was already nine times

bigger than the Middle Kingdom as earlier claimed in legends,

became the territory of "Zhong Xia" or "Zhong Hua" in ancient

history. This marked a major expansion of the original concept

of Middle Kingdom, which covered just an area of approxi-

mately 500,000 square kilometres, embracing parts of the pres-

ent Henan, Shanxi, Hebei, Shaanxi and Shandong provinces in

North China. By the 5th century B.C, the heartland of Chinese

Civilization had expanded to more than one million square

kilometres in area, whose geographic size was far larger than

the other ancient civilizations existing in the contemporary era.
