月氏、乌孙和匈奴在河西的活动

The Movements of Yuezhi,Wusun and Xiongnu In Hexi

战国、秦汉之际，月氏和乌孙活动的“敦煌、祁连间”即指今河西走廊敦煌至酒泉、张掖一带，分布于河西走廊东西部的沙井文化和骟马文化就是月氏和乌孙活动的遗存。不久，月氏打败乌孙而独占了河西走廊。约在汉文帝时，由于匈奴的崛起，月氏又被迫退出河西。此后，一直到汉武帝元狩二年以前，河西始终处于匈奴控制下。

During the period of the Warring States(476-221 B.C.) and the Qin Dynasty’entry into the West Han Dynasty,Yuezhi and Wusun were moving about Dubhuang and Qilian mountains,in other words,nearby Dunhuang ,Jiuquan and Zhangye in Hexi Corridor.Shajin culture and Shanma culture distributed over the East and the West of Hexi Corridor are traces of the movements of Yuezhi and Wusun.Before long Yuezhi defeated Wusun and seized Hexi Corridor completely;In the time of Hanwen Reign,because of Xiongnu’s rising abruptly,Yuezhi had to withdraw from Hexi Corridor .After this,Hexi was still under the control of Xiongnu before the second year of Yuanshou (B.C.121) of Hanwu Reign.
