Regarding the Bonan Ancient Road, the book says this: "Yongping in the west, Bonan in the ancient name, the long Southwest onshore Silk Road passed through the border, and the history is called the Bonan Ancient Road." The opening of the Bonan Ancient Road made the Southwest Silk Road along with the later Western Road. The two north and south roads formed the economic and cultural exchanges between China and India, the birthplace of civilization in the subcontinent of South Asia during the Han and Jin periods. In the next few hundred years, the two silk roads in the north and south echoed each other, and jointly shouldered the heavy responsibility of China's external transportation. After the continuous expansion and laying of the Sui, Tang (Nanzhao), Song (Dali), Yuan, Ming and Qing generations, this international passage has long become the main passage of the central dynasty through the southwest, consolidating the frontier, and communicating with the foreign countries. The real walk is far more difficult than I thought. The stone washed by the rain at the foot is particularly smooth, and it will fall when you step on it. The road we are walking is not a road at all. It feels like a narrow gap, and there are airtight mountains and deep cliffs, all the way is trembling.
