西漢和親

Marrying daughters of the Han imperial family to the rulers of the minority groups was one of the foreign policies of pacification in the Western Han Dynasty (206B.C.----8A.D.).

將皇家的女兒嫁給少數名族是西漢時期(公元前206年至公元8年)的和平外交政策之一。

At first, Han rulers took the initiative to marry daughters of the royal family and offer valuables of all kinds so that the Huns could stop harassing the northern border of the empire.

By these actions, he drove them into the far north of Gobi, thus maintaining the safety of the Hexi Corridor.

通過這些舉措,武帝讓他們遠達隔壁北部,保障了河西走廊的安全。
