Kashi, Xinjiang culture, atmosphere, and architecture, Bazaar (market), monuments, handicrafts, folk customs and so on, have a rich Uygur style, unique and mysterious. No wonder people say, less than equal to have never been to Xinjiang Kashgar. Here is China's largest mosque - Id Kah Mosque, the famous National Grand Bazaar - Central and Western Asia in international trade markets, as well as you think in any case not come out of the old city, which left me deeply impressed, it is three monuments.
To Kashi, we first went to visit the tomb of the Epahuojia. Tomb is located in the eastern outskirts of Kokand city of Kashi village is a typical Islamic style of ancient buildings. Those who read the TV series "ring bead princess" who will never forget this flash Xiangfei figure, not only glamorous, but also incurred a number of butterflies. The Epahuojia tomb, they buried the Xiang Fei, so the locals also called "Xiang Feimu." Xiang Fei名叫伊帕尔Khan, because the body Yigu rich Elaeagnus angustifolia flowers, but also the name "Xiang Fei." Xiang Fei, 26-year-old palace, the name Rong Fei, Emperor Qianlong had won favor in the palace lived for 28 years and died Qianlong 53 years after death remains were shipped back for burial in the family cemetery.
Xiang Fei's tomb was built in 1640 by the gate, the size Mosque, after the composition of the church and the main tomb. The eastern part of the main tomb in the cemetery, length and width of 30 meters, using earth rammed into the corners of the round tower built above. Tomb roof was circular, dome diameter of 17 meters, the tomb the whole building without any pillars. Outdoor green glazed brick veneer, clamp a Hui Zhao a variety of patterns and patterns of yellow, blue tiles, looks extraordinarily magnificent. Indoor tomb built there is a meter-high platform on which neatly lined tomb mound, the tomb of the table puzzle blue and white flower glass bricks, clean elegance. The burial of them yielded a family of five on behalf of the Apahuojia 72. Apahuojia is famous Kashi Islam "Ishan" Master, said Xiang Fei was his granddaughter. Xiang Fei, although the emperor's concubine, but it can not be considered in terms of what is in the family, and her tomb in the northeast corner of the chamber, with a golden satin Bumeng. Front of the platform to highlight where there are two different persons with the family tomb of Xiang Fei legend is to escort the remains back to the two waiters, was buried here after death, meaning that to continue to wait Xiang Fei.
Left Xiangfei Mu, we come to "the disk Ligularia (tuo) City" site, according to legend is the term Western Regions Frontier Command stationed in Shule Han Ban Chao was built during the Old City site, because of their age has been a long time, the city base has been destroyed, only some of the devastated . Standing here, as if before the year 2000 can also hear the story of Ban Chao westward.
Ban Chao was the son of Ban Biao Han Daru scientist, outstanding military strategist, and politician. The Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns repeated violations of the Mainland, no peace. To this end, the Han Emperor Ming of the adoption of recommendations, to his troops in western expedition, Binh Dinh Huns. Ban Chao was in Guanfu copying paperwork, heard the news, the resolutely Toubicongrong join the western expedition. In the first war with the army of the Huns, Ban Chao outstanding and meritorious service, was to make the rate of a small force along the northern foot of the Kunlun Mountains westbound States pacify the Western Regions.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained the story took place in the westbound into. Ban Chao led the 36 heroes, first came to the country Shanshan (now Loulan), a start Shanshan Wang received a very thoughtful, too soon can become very slight. With a keen sense of Banchao judge, will be sent to the envoys were Huns, Shanshan Wang uncertain about hearts shaken. Inquiries set up a trap, and sure enough do not leave, the Huns had sent more than 130 of the mission. Find out was the message later, Ban Chao called 36 warrior wrote: If the Shanshan Wang arrested and handed over to us the Huns, we had no burial. Its asking how to do, Ban Chao said: nothing ventured, nothing gained? We took the night to Huogong Hun missions, they do not know our bottom line, then certainly terrified, caught by surprise, so that will be able to annihilate. Uniforms of the Huns mission, Shanshan Wang scared be scared, it can reverse the bad luck. That night, in the Ban Chao led by one stroke wiped out the Huns mission. Shanshan Wang Han deeply so heroic, only departure from the Huns, allegiance to the Han Dynasty.
Ban Chao continued to go westbound, the rate of 36 people arrived in Khotan (modern Hotan), recovered Guihan and then reach the Shule, that today's Kashi, with Zha Jiang's method was established king of the Huns caught up backers, the former king nephew of the king, by the people's trust, Shule also allegiance to the Han Dynasty. The Western Regions during the period he was well received by the local people's support and love, when Emperor Zhang of Han Han withdraw from the Western Regions under the edict, the Shule panic the whole country, its Commandery Badaoziwen to die persuade. Finally, Ban Chao was deeply moved, the end did not leave the Western Regions. Han Yongnian 14 years, that is, AD 102, 71-year-old hometown glory Ban Chao, who spent 30 in the Western entire spring and autumn, so that the Western Regions to maintain a long-term prosperity and stability.
Today, the city ruins near the disk sack, built a sculpture group, Ban Chao's statue has been erected tall, imposing towering, mighty brave. Front on both sides, about 36 lined the stone like a warrior. That statue with a helmet at all Phi, majestic, brave, incomparable in their possession at that time it seems we can see that the hardships the Western Regions expeditions, pacification of the Huns reunification of the country's aspirations. I admire those heroes, but also to see their motherland's reunification and stability of the dedication, their brilliant achievements of the human will always shine.
In Kashgar city, there is a very famous building, which is excellent Su-fu Hasi Ha jeep's tomb. U Su-fu Hasi Ha jeep (1018 - 1085), is a famous 11th century Uyghur scholar, and his long poem "Happiness and Wisdom" (also translated as "given the wisdom of Happiness") is a great work, expressing the community at that time the rule of law, ethics, morality, philosophy, views on such issues as statecraft, poem with a unique look at various aspects of human society. Philosophical poems profound, beautiful sentence, rhythm strict cultural development of China Uighurs on a monument. A total of 13290 lines long poem by the 85 chapters of text and 3 attached to articles composed of the world have a variety of text. This poem is the author began writing 50 years of age, written in 1069-1070, the Kara dynasty at that time the king dedicated Bugera Khan, Bugera Khan special thanks to the title of his jeep Hasi Ha, meaning as a special royal paternity Officer.
We are here, "Happiness and Wisdom" section of poems, was cordial and there are inspired, he wrote: rule the world needs wisdom; monarch-a-million people of the Lord, to wise alert and protect the people; sobriety and the rule of law is the cornerstone of the country, but also the key governance and bridle; wish you converge the tongue, the Mo loss of teeth, and would like your language carefully, MO out of their lives; gold and silver on the people, is a valuable thing, a clean ourselves up even more valuable than gold and silver, and so on. Read, "Happiness and Wisdom," we immediately think of the Spring and Autumn Period of China's famous thinker and educator Confucius, think about the "Analects of Confucius" feel different cultural backgrounds, but there are a number of magical powers of the office and are deeply felt, "It is not only a Uighur valuable family heritage, history and culture of the motherland is also constitutes a valuable asset. "(Lao language) culture, has gone beyond the nation itself.
U Su Fu Hasi Ha jeep's tomb, though located near the border with the motherland, Xi Jiang, also have not escaped the looting of the Cultural Revolution. People respect him, and from the heart, remember him, and asked to re-repair. In 1987, again in the original location of the construction of which is rich in Uighur-style mausoleum.
Three monuments to show national unity and reunification of the motherland and national cultures origins stream length. A country, if not among all ethnic groups together, this country should perish. A nation, if not have their own good culture, not have their own outstanding cultural representation, it can not be called for the nation. Kashi trip to learn not only the customs of Uighurs, but also to see Weihan national unity and national reunification, a long history and cultural origins of the Chinese nation to see a long stream.
