We usually think of Sogdians as merchants, translators, and diplomats—the great middlemen of the Silk Road. But in the chaos after the An Lushan Rebellion, one Sogdian merchant named Kang Chuhui picked up a sword, raised an army, and carved out his own kingdom in the heart of China. This episode traces his rise from a trader in Samarkand to a military commander who nearly toppled the Tang dynasty himself. We explore the forgotten Kangxiang Rebellion (781-786 CE), the role of Sogdian military colonies in Hexi, and how a network of merchant-warriors reshaped the politics of northwest China. Plus: the surprising afterlife of Kang Chuhui in medieval Chinese folklore, where he was transformed into a god of wealth. If you thought Sogdians were just traders, think again. #Sogdian #KangChuhui #KangxiangRebellion #TangDynasty #AnLushan #HexiCorridor #Samarkand #SilkRoad #MilitaryHistory #ChineseFolklore #GodOfWealth #MedievalChina #MerchantWarriors #TangHistory #CentralAsia #FexingoHistory #History #Eurasia Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
