Kashi Kee OK - alley
Just take a look at the mosques in Kashi and mazar, only stroll Market and Bazaar is still far from enough, I have a good idea, that is - to the yard to the alley. This discovery was not accidental, Taxkorgan Originally, we had plans to see the Pamirs and the result due to floods, roads were washed away did not go into, unfortunately, while there are proceeds so that we can spend more days in Kashi, and then we will naturally step stretch the most able to reflect the national conditions and customs, and the most echo Searching for a psychological place - alley.
In these meandering alley, already feel the atmosphere of the city streets, rushing toward us is a strange world. There chic style mosque, where the most simple of the children, where there are many hidden secrets.
Here, each alley has its own division of labor, has done a blacksmith, there are a carpenter, there are inlaid teeth, there are garments, there are to do cap. . . (See information later when aware that there is a hidden alley is unknown pottery, some foreigners are attracted specifically to visit a pity that we did not find.)
We are standing in a hat shop Wai door to see father and son work, and his father's head wearing a plain white cap, is set with a small wooden rolling forward in the mold on the flower hat, bare-headed son, sitting in front of the stool, concentrating carefully on the mold to take off the hat. Quickly grabbed the camera to Zhang, "father and son, working in", when the bald son know that we are looking at him, doing more and more hard of. I squatted down to the camera at him, he immediately stopped the hands of the living, a good upright posture, large with open eyes looked at me, I really made it on the mirror it! Brightly colored flowers of national hand-cap too much to bear to leave empty-handed, one asking about the price than the small shops inside the cheaper, of course, can not be missed. Kashi and his party bought many top men's, women all sorts of hats, but the views of friends and I agreed that this women's cap by hand to spend the most engaging and, most够味. I also bought quite a few streets Blacksmith remind me of the desert camel bells, like to listen to their voices, clear crisp.
Of course, most alley or homes, brick homes earthworks into the color is homogeneous yellowish brown, with blue skies contrast, become increasingly thick. Mostly two-storey house, windows and doors are all wooden and occasionally on the top floor of the Lang Yanxia find exquisite wood carvings, wood and bricks of the character qualities of seamless, the owner of the green species of green plants were silhouetted against the dripping. Sometimes see the top of the aisle and then scaffolding house, to take full use of space.
The meniscus can be far away could see the mosque, their carved, dignified simplicity not help to lead us stop and watch. I am amazed that these beautiful patterns, sleek and sophisticated trim arc, surprisingly enough, made of ordinary bricks, and perhaps can use art as Michelangelo's hand on the painting in the church, like the dome, faith can be stimulate the human artistic creation.
The most attractive, or where the Uygur of our children, their enthusiasm and generous surprise. We finished face appeared, there followed from naughty children, they will use blunt Chinese say "Hello!", More is to say "Ha myself!" Some of us by surprise, and return them with a smile "Hello", the fear of exposure to an unfamiliar environment was dispelled in that instant was evaporated.
