1、 'Yuna' - a Greek name in Eastern historical documents

Explored the Greek name "Yuna" used by Aristotle and Alexander the Great in Eastern historical literature. Strabo mentioned in "Geography" that the Greeks in the Bactrian region were powerful due to their wealth and became rulers of Ariana and India. Apolodunus pointed out that the Bactrian Greeks, especially the Milanese, conquered multiple tribes and even expanded their territories to Cyrus and Fulini. In the dissemination of Buddhism, King Ashoka dispatched Mahaparinirvana to the "Yuna World" to spread the teachings, which was interpreted as Greek territory, namely the Central Asia region of Afghanistan. Liang Qichao mentioned in his "Overview of Indian Buddhism" that the stone carvings of King Ashoka show that he sent missionaries to multiple countries, including "Yuna". These countries were ruled by descendants of Alexander's generals, indicating that 'Yuna' was related to the Greeks. The Persians referred to the Greeks as Yauna, which may be the origin of the term 'yuna' in Buddhist literature. Zhang Taiyan mentioned in his book "A Brief Introduction to European Countries from the Han Dynasty" that the "Yamei Ni" and "Yangqu Li" in the Sui Dynasty's translation of the "Buddhist Collection Sutra" respectively refer to the Great Qin Dynasty and the Zhishu, but these interpretations are controversial. The "Yunani" in the "Hui Hui Yao Fang" stored in the Beijing Library is interpreted as a transliteration of the Arabic word "Greek", indicating that "Yuna" is related to Greece.

2、 Alexander the Great, the "Double Horn" King in the Historical Memory of Eastern Peoples

Alexander the Great appears in the historical memory of Eastern peoples as the "double horned" king, and his deeds are widely spread among various Eastern peoples. Zhao Rushi of the Southern Song Dynasty mentioned in his "Records of the Barbarians" that "the Kingdom of Gangentuo" and "Dhu al Qarnayn" were the Arabic names for Alexandria and Alexandria. In the "Dictionary of Turkic Language" of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ke Shenghali repeatedly mentioned the legend of Alexander by the Turkic people, using the term "Degeni" to refer to Alexander. Keshi Hari recorded multiple stories related to Alexander, such as the origin of the Turkic official name "Yu Yue"/"Wu Ge", the naming of the "Wei Wu Er" region, the explanation of the word "Ti Ji", the origin of the "Zhi Yi" tribe name, the origin of the "Bald Ma Shi" noodle dish, and the origin of the "Turkic Man" tribe name. These stories reflect the conflicts and exchanges between Alexander and the Turks. Dankov, the English translator of the Turkic Dictionary, conducted a detailed analysis of these stories in his article "The Story of Alexander in the Turkic Dictionary", and believed that Alexander was referred to as the "Twin Horn" King in legend, possibly because the Turkic Dictionary was written in Arabic. He also speculated that according to the legend heard by Harry, Alexander was actually called Iskandar. Dankov also noticed that the language spoken by "Alexander" in the story was Persian, and compared the victorious Turkic king Shu to the Tang Dynasty's Turkic Khan Sulu. He also considered the possibility that the prototype of "Alexander" in the story was Qudi Bo and Bosilin, the "Eastern envoy" who conquered Central Asia in the early 8th century during the Great Food Empire.

3、 Yixi Magazine and Alashtali West

Deeply explored the transmission and influence of Aristotle and Alexander the Great in Eastern culture. Persian historian Zhifeni compared Genghis Khan's military talent with Alexander the Great in his book "The Conqueror of the World" and believed that Genghis Khan was superior in strategy and tactics. When describing the trial of the rebel king by Yuan Xianzong Mongo, the returning minister Mahemu Yalavachi implied that Mongo should take strict measures against the rebels by telling the story of Alexander following Aristotle's advice and cutting off disobedient generals. In addition, the chapter also mentions the account of Aristotle as a doctor in the "Hui Hui Yao Fang", as well as the name changes of Alexander and Aristotle in Islamic literature. Finally, the chapter discusses the connection between the "Shibi Corpse" in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Egyptian Sphinx, pointing out that there is no conclusive evidence for this connection.
