97 years go to Xinjiang, and a lot of feeling not too careful to write down to see Wang Zengqi articles, actually caught in the sweet memories of Cecil.
However, Mr. Wang probably not, as we did in 43.5, when the temperature in the Turpan Jiaohegucheng exposure, nor eat grapes diarrhea, or get off late in the evening 3:00 to Dunhuang, and do not know a few boys playing cards together, or front of a mesh Mingsha wear sandals have been a foot of sand filling the students laughing in the tent at the foot of Tianshan Mountains and the Uygur girl's experience with the DISCO dance bar ... ...:)
Still prefer the older generation of people to write a deep grounding Guoxue something very refreshing frankness again. Would also be posted on here. Xinjiang is still well worth a go. It is said that religious issues are more sensitive, and I do not know how in the end. Remember talking to ordinary people, they can not feel a bit ... ah ...
Tianshan Xing Se (from age bookstores)
- Chang Language
Nanshan Tasson
The so-called Nanshan who is a Tasong Lin.
Urumqi in the vicinity may tour the Department has two, one for Nanshan, one for Tianchi. Where to Urumqi who, without exception, to the.
Nanshan is the edge of Tianshan Mountains, is not the hinterland. Nanshan is the pastoral areas. Getting into the car, Nanshan territory, have seen the pastoral scene. Ups and downs on both sides of rolling hills, mountains are flat, and hopes of the oblivious, over the mountains and the soft and thick for Xi Cao. Last year, little snow, the grass is very short. Travel far to see mountain wrong wrong yo, a cluster a cluster of Tasson, black.
Motor roads to do, rounded stone paths on both sides of the car from a mountain stream to go up into the pine forest depths.
Tasson very clean, leaves as new piece of the swab, no one black sheep, the color blue and green. Air is also very clean. We lean on a tree by the grass to eat watermelon, rose, both when the underwear soiled with resin. Very little rainfall in Xinjiang, the air is very dry, Nanshan rain slightly, the people said: "a hat can be the next big rain cloud." But also it is only a big hat that little rain cloud ears, Nanshan, although he is still dry . However, a thick one Tasson up to long, we rely on last year's snow and so little rain. Ta Songlin the grass is very rich and spend a lot of trees can be picked up mushrooms. Mushrooms as big as a palm, white and delicate. Tasson brought wet and rain brought an Italian.
Tree is rain.
Nam Shan-Sheng Department of poplar ditch, chrysanthemum, Taiwan, none of go.
Tianchi snow
A young oil painter Uighur (he looks very talented) told me: Tianchi is not painting, too blue, too green, drawn like a fake. Heavenly Lake in the Bogda Mountains under. Bogda Mountain year-round with its glittering white Urumqi attracted people's eyes. Bogda is a symbol of Urumqi, Urumqi, many of the light industrial products made with the Bogda Mountain trademarks.
Car out of Urumqi, Chi Guo icy desolate Gobi Desert Chixiang Tianchi. Trance do not think I am living in Xinjiang, but in the south where. Zhuo grow crops grow very real, glossy dark green glossy dark green, and watched teach people physically and mentally relaxed. Roadside houses are also clean and tidy. Pedestrian flavor is also very good, all showing happy and satisfied. Huang Fa Chuitiao, and feel comfortable. There is a place, a great ping field, long a great elm forest. Elm are hundreds of objects, and some have two or three people hold to get through. Trees are healthy and vigorous, non-aging state. Leisurely walk under the tree calf. Xinjiang mountain breeze of thick, less exposed stone bones. There is one, cliffs rise steeply, stone bone Jin Lu, stone hard, shiny, black, such as fine iron crevice between the trees grow, shade cover, fiber rattan Xi Cao, Meng shade Phi Fun, Shek Pik is a next turbulent waters of the Qingliang ... ... It's not like Xinjiang, seems to Mount Emei in Sichuan.
To small Tianchi (who compiled them, and said that it was Queen Mother feet of the place is really unpleasant!) Less open, in the cliff side of the pool stood a while, hurry on up: the water's edge Liang Qi pressing.
To the Tianchi, ho! Uygur artist who is true indeed. Talk to a someone said: "Rejuvelac Bi in the blue."
Tianchi water, blue blue. Above, a little distance, is a white snow-capped mountains. Mimizaza opposite the ground covered with Tasson hill, - Tasson or spruce. Looks very neat rows and rows of land next to a tree, the mountain on the layout appears to be artificial. Water very calm, Tasson, snow-capped mountains and the sky among the clouds, reflection in water, a trace of bad mood. I think this is not like in China, like the scenery in Switzerland postcard scenery ever seen.
Tianchi is a volcano or should we say, - the Chinese are better Tianchi volcano, from spring to summer, Bogda mountain snow to melt, flow injection which welled year-round, water unfathomable. Tianchi snow flow down the mountain, watershed is quite extensive. Where the snow water flows through the Department, all vegetation Watts, human and animal booming.
The "Tianchi snow Song":
Without You Tianshan,
Xuefeng faint blue.
Of spring snow flow exhaust,
Into the deep valley of Tianchi.
Tianchi water, such as malachite green,
Sensen Wansong covered in water.
And sometimes snow-capped mountains reflected upside-shadow,
Snow reflection of Ming jade.
Tianchi snow come down,
Fast is no longer return to laughing singing.
Under the landscape, such as blue agate,
Volume fighting foam Fountain Kit Kat.
Director of snow water elm,
Wind Poplar Green Torch.
Snow water at someone in the family,
Red Dahlia in vain.
Snow water at wheat, cooked,
The new face to play Nang roast lamb.
Snow water flows through the northern foot of Mt
Poly Nation long should children and grandchildren.
Tianchi snow depth and perils?
Reserves the right rain a year.
I Yanshan the Tianshan Mountains,
Have degrees boundless Gobi desert.
Thousands of miles west to the end without regret,
Tianchi to be drinking a glass of water.
Tianshan
Tianshan Majestic, sweeping.
A country artist to paint the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang can be said to do nothing. Everything Cunfa, size ax, Phi Ma, Xie Faso, ox hair, bean, were all not have access to. Tianshan weathered layer is very thick, stone bone deep in the gravel into the soil surface, flat muddy muddy, but no edges and corners. A large hill, and only a few yin and yang, light and dark side, there is no trivial stroke.
Tianshan No Qifeng, no steep cliff, no Nagareizumi waterfalls, no landscaping, and there is no tree - the tree are "on the mountains." Chinese painting by a tree head for the hills, Tianshan-tree, that is a large a large purple-brown bare bare dry mountains, the country no more crossings of the artist!
From Urumqi to Ili, ubiquitous Tianshan. Tianshan endless, endless, its length is also unknown thousands of miles.
Tianshan Mountain is magnificent.
With early-onset Wusu Wang Tianshan
Gray floating Purple,
Tianshan really magnificent.
Tomb Taniwake yin and yang,
Do not leave wrinkle wipe America.
Yang Zhao early snow
The color of rouge water.
Wang Tianshan Mountains on the way to the Horgos
Tianshan Mountains in heaven,
Not in the clouds between.
Color and cloud similar to
Twilight number of Feng Dian.
Only from the blue-fold fold,
This is the mountain from afar.
Yili Wen Pigeon
To Ili, pack-fu unloading, is washing her face, I heard a Dove cried out: "wood pigeon coo - mutter,
"Wood pigeon coo - mutter ... ..."
This motivated the point of my nostalgia.
I have not heard for many years called the Ikaruga.
My home is a lot of Dove's. My family's deserted backyard on a tree, there lived a pair of turtledove. "Heaven will rain, dove call women" to the Nongyin the rainy weather, I heard Dove called and told very urgent: "wood pigeon coo, coo wood pigeon, wood pigeon coo ... ..."
Dove called his wife in the mile.
Rain will be clear to the plot, but also hear the Dove is called, called very lazy: "wood pigeon coo, - mutter!" Wood pigeon coo, - mutter! "
Single-Sheng Jiao Yu, double-Sheng Jiao Qing. This is a two-sound, is Dove's wife come back. "- Mutter" This is the wife in the response.
Is that so? I have not marching raindrop hanging from the grass to Mother observed. With Dove, however, the sound of odd and even as a share of Yin Qing, it seems very efficacious. I often hours will be rain or sunny weather, listening to the Ming pigeon, the mind was happy and sad, desolately cool, the desolation was so sweet.
Of my childhood Dove sound ah.
Kunming seem to be a Dove, but I do not have to listen to Pigeon impression.
Shanghai is not Ikaruga.
I lived in Beijing for many years, had not heard turtledove is called.
Zhangjiakou not Ikaruga.
I Ili, with China's northwestern frontier, called the Dove heard.
"Wood pigeon coo - mutter,
"Wood pigeon coo - mutter ... ..."
Yili's Dove sound than my hometown seem to be low, some, some hoarse.
There dove sound Department, must be wet, and more trees. Ming-dove more deeply hidden among the trees. Yili rain. Yili, Xinjiang is rare in the whole of rain in many places. Ili a lot of trees. I have lived in Ili hotel was originally the Soviet Consulate, a tree lot more encircle those who Qingpi Young.
Yili beautiful.
Liangji "Ili notebook poem" goes like this: wood pigeon partridge sings Office has the beauty of spring like climate with the South.
Noting Ili Dove sound, not me alone.
Ili
Human water is not east, Ili River water flows westward.
Water color gray, flow potential less urgent, unhurried, stirred whirl whirl, it seems if the attachment. River downstream, into the territory of the Soviet Union.
In a small river to linger. Surprises me is that I am familiar with the river is covered with rivers and lakes of the plant. Reed. Pucao. Pucao very high, higher than the head. Liangji "Tianshan Hakka" in mind says: "Huiyuan temple town, after quite a lot of the Taiwan Chi-sheng, pool, plot Pu Ying Qing, fish 100, between the Washeng." Pucao the growth of Ili river, is existed since ancient times the things. Pampas grass next to shake the string of a string of bright red water, Liao Hua, just like southern autumn.
Squatted Ili side picking gravel, got up and find that there are several places itching feet, legs, Ili mosquitoes! There is no mosquitoes in Urumqi, Xinjiang, in many places there is no mosquitoes, Ili mosquitoes because the water more than Ili. Water are mostly a good thing, bite or two is worth it. Unsolicited Xinjiang, I was more profoundly realize the water is the importance of people's lives.
Almost everyone can see the Gobi Desert, we must issue such a feeling: so much of the land, if there is water, how much food can be a long ah!
Ili North Shore City for Huiyuan. This is the "President of Yili area," resident of the Ili General also were convicted of "eliminating the officer" banished place. Banished to the Ili, specifically to benefit much. Yili is a land of the name.
Huiyuan old and two new city. Twenty-seven years old and urban construction in the Qianlong and later for the Ili River water will break down, waste. Guangxu eight years, was 15 miles northwest of the old city build a new town.
We looked at the Metro. City is Tucheng - the city in Xinjiang are Tucheng, loess version build is made quite simple, imagine a hastily construction of the. Dynasty, the Qing court's strength is already Bu Hangle. General government sites are still, housing has been flip-off, but generally it can be seen to scale. As usual, is a big Yamen of the trappings of the lobby, 2, Floral Hall, as well as a pavilion for the general chess drinking. Penthouse on each side of a slide, this is the "abolition of members" who act place. General Government consists of six Department, the "abolition of members" who are required to distribute throughout the effect. The present housing in some places still retain the original material. Wood are not very thick. In some areas can still see remains of the original painting, are blunt.
Metro not much spectacle of people feeling the rise and fall, as early as white hair is the Old Town.
The size of the old town is not small. Walls of high-Yi Zhang 4, the City Guri weeks. There are general government, with barracks, a "waste workers" who's blending Department, the city streets, housing and crowded. There are also tea house Jiusi, there "are selling fresh fish and ducks to feed flowers," "Sunburn copper wire have to spend a good pig," North-South chefs. There are also available for board overlooks, Poem and Wine place to hang around. "South is expected to River House, face Ie, to one side wins," there are half an acre west of the city palace, a tall pine forest north of the city. To the Chung Yeung Festival, go home pavilion of the chrysanthemum bloom precisely, we might open feast. Hui Yuan is a "waste workers", "Exile Huan", "move off" city. "Since the lieutenant governor of the following to the book, nor the bureaucracy is not set, then move off as much as we can see Ili carry on." Liangji quoted from the poetry, you can see here, move into the next passenger, but added quite lonely.
Ili issued in that year that flood the market, is very small. Flood the whole dropping the entire city. City, town-based Huiyuan is very high, but the west has been largely collapsed, and the Ili river into the general level of the marsh. Marsh grass on the good, green, there are cattle and sheep gnawing at random. City, a city northwest of the base are still ringing in, people can often be picked up in the ruins of pottery fragments, identification of handwriting patterns.
The eastern half of the city still in ruins. Plow the city streets are as arable land, planted crops. The northeast wall, still I Banbi. Although earthen walls, but it is very firm, and a thickness of three feet. A little far right, there is a mound is a remnant of the Drum Tower, it should be the center of the city. Lin Tse-hsu, who lives nearby.
According to records: the Drum Tower in front of 2nd Lane, also known as Wide Lane, Lin's residence. I can not help but to read slower to catch over the place. Lingongzexu, you are living there呀?
Yili area on a lot of Lin's legend. Some may not be reliable. Example, the benefits are still far from the use of drainage, also known as Huang sewers, the legend is the construction of forest, some people think it implausible: Lin Tse-hsu only two years in Ili, so a big drain, according to the prevailing conditions, two years repair is not up. Lin Tse-hsu's commitment to water resources in Xinjiang, however, can not be negative (Lin Tse-hsu, distribute Liang Xiang Department, the work is very leisurely, only taken up once a month, this regardless of water). Lin There is a poem: "To Shortage days severance for Chi-tzu, this theory enough to restrain Chen Zhuang restrain," Although it seems that he moved into disgrace, or being grand, vehement, without Tuitang's. He still wants to do something for the people to make something good, do not waste as many members, all day long just "planting gardening, reading sit-in" (Liangji language). Lin Tse-hsu to leave when Ili poem goes: "Gordon mountains in Iraqi river, looking back at Yiyi Lema see", he Yili have feelings.
Huiyuan, a village east side, there are four Daqing Maple. Legend of the Shou Zhi Lin Tse-hsu. It probably will be attached. Lin Tse-hsu Why go to such a village side to four kinds of trees? However, it is willing to believe, let him believe this. Such a person is worthy of everyone to miss.
According to Liangji "Hakka" Cloud: Waste staff cases when the wear a long knife, wearing a common soldier's uniform - short in clothing. Lin Tse-hsu in the Ili day, should do the same.
Yili River South Bank is Qapqal. This is a Xibe County. Xibe people Shanshe, Qianlong period, in order to frontiers, they moved from the Northeast Hulunbeier transferred to this. Comes, Shuzu 1000 people, along with their families and are willing to catch up with friends and relatives, a total of 5000 people, on the road more than a year. - Originally scheduled for three years, arrived ahead of schedule. The court issued travel under the silver is a general manager who contracted out in advance that the leader can get a number of white. Along the way, the team gave birth to 300 children!
This is what a spectacular, rich in romanticism, full of human scent team ah. 5000 people, one nation, men and women, pots and pans, all the family silver, riding horses, camels, riding horse, ox cart, mighty, winding meandering winding, bid farewell to the northeast of the prairie, toward the northwestern Gobi, set out. Sunset, Asagiri, Venus, the Big Dipper. Tent, drinking animals, camping. Fire, smoke, Pachyma cocos tea, breast. Singing, talking about laughter. Which one tent or hood where fresh sounds of crying, "Gua -" another child is born, a small Xibe people, a future warrior.
More than a year.
300 children.
Xibe people are proud. Where they stationed two hundred years and never had a step backward. No one ran across the border, and no one who fled to the northeast, they are in this land rolling down a deep root.
Xibe'm still Shanshe nation. Their athletes have also often held in various places in the archery competition Outright.
Xibe people are very clever, they usually speak several languages, in addition to Xibe language, but also said the Uighur, Kazakh, Chinese. Many of them been able to identify the ancient Manchu. Translation in the Forbidden City, sorting Manchu old files, there are several notes from Qapqal to go. Heroic people!
Yu-qing, since according to the Nilka car Yili Wang Wusun Hill marks a break to-day world, the
Qian Jiang secretly faint blue.
Lined Poplar endless green,
Yin few girls shirt.
Nilka
Nilka standing on the street, as if one step can be Dengwu Sun Hill. Wusun native country the Turks in the upper reaches of the Ili basin, Nilka or when the territory of its jurisdiction. Fine-jun Princess, bereavement Wusun Princess marrying men, I wonder if there have never been here. Han female diplomat Ms. Feng Liao is a dynamic figure, her Jin cars are likely to be walked from here.
Nilka local small, but in the current 13 nations. The 13 nationalities in Xinjiang, where all are. Kashgar River outflow from the city before, clear water, such as jasper, flow is very urgent.
Tang Bala ranch in Urumqi, in the Ili and reception of our comrades tried to persuade us to Tang Bala ranch to see, saying that Tang Bala beautiful.
Tang Bala indeed beautiful, but the United States where it fails. Reluctant to say, had said: nice grass here!
After Tang Bala Kashi River, flowing in a river jasper. Tang Bala rain. By Nilka to Tang Bala, auto day to not, in the cash advance Braque kinds of bee farm for the night. That night heavy rain on the next night. There are rivers, rain enough, so a good grass. This is a green kingdom, all the hills are green. Green hill, here and there, there are Mavericks leisurely grazing. Tang Bala is the alpine pastures, cattle are scattered on the hill and make its own Manshanxiapao, grazing, do not need to bother, as long as every other 23 days on horseback to see, unlike the Inner Mongolia grassland animals placed on a flat on. True green, the air really fresh, really quiet - a little voice at all.
We arrived too late. As early as more than a month, here is full of flowers. Kinds of bee farm located here, because here for more. Spent a lot of here is a medicine, Codonopsis, Fritillaria ... ... the market out of honey bees can cure bronchitis.
Some climbers are Sugiyama. Mountain high, mountain mountain spruce long Mi Zaza. Extremely large spruce. Here is said to have felled spruce two-thirds, and now looks still too many. Entertains us with a Kazakh herdsman tells us: Bureau of Forestry has provided for more than four hundred years, and can cut; four hundred years following, and not allowed to cut. Spruce grown very slowly. He used a finger sized than the than the thickness of: "a hundred years before like this!" To the ranch, always drink horse breast, eat lamb clutch.
Horse breast slightly acidic, somewhat like Ge Wasi, I have drunk in Inner Mongolia, it is easy to drink, but do not think how taste good. Kazakhstan, but the people are very fond of. They arrived in the summer, we happy: You can drink "white" of. Probably in winter they can only drink tea, is black. Ma breast to the summer only to wait for the mare down the foal in the winter is not. A man will walk Wazi, always crying. To give him sugar and give him apple, do not, and fell. His mother gave him a bowl of horse breast down, his Pakistan seem to have Pakistan seem to have to drink up and quiet.
Entertain the children of our Kazakh shepherd to a flock of sheep down the drive. We see two men to carry loads of sheep hides a one-off, in particular, forced to surmise that it's butt egg sub. We understand that this is surmise Feishou sheep (sheep they certainly do not understand what it is the owner of this surmise), hides the one to shoot it, however, let go of; also had a re-capture the past repeatedly surmise. See, they chose one of our most fertilizer lamb.
Different from eating lamb and Inner Mongolia, Kazakhstan and Inner Mongolia is a large piece of meat each grip he has to eat with a knife cut. Kazakhstan is: a large disk sub, the following whole placed Zhulan of noodles covered with meat, the master with a knife cut it into fragments of meat, we even grasp the meat with a face up and sent to his mouth.
Delicious Mody?
Delicious!
Meat, before a child raised by a pot of water, water everywhere invited guests wash their hands, this custom similar to the Arab, Turkey.
"Tang Bala" What does that mean? Kazakh host said: listen to the elders said that the Mongolian words. Yamashita used to have a tree grove, Mongolians, the acquisition of livestock every year, in the trees of the better branded Yin Zi (Yin Zi This is a branded animals) as a sign of doing business. Tanggula yes Yin Zi meaning. He said: can not say.
Sailimu Lake guozigou
Urumqi people Jiaokou praised Sailimu Lake, guozigou. They said Sailimu Lake water is very blue; guozigou If the spring to go, the mountainside are the wild apple blossom. We Urumqi to Ili, along the way to look forward to look at these two places.
Lu Cao car out of ditch, face down the sky, Shen, as already raining. To Sailimu Lake, rain was Zhengda.
Sailimu Lake water is not blue呀. We can see that the lake is an iron gray. Wind and rain, the lake a great wave. Dark gray waves, a wave and then a wave, Pumian coming. Crashed at the shore, splashing foam. This is not like Lake, like the sea. Desolate, no deserted, the cold sea. No boats, no birds. Sailimu Lake people find it very mysterious, and even terror. Sailimu Lake is a superhuman nature. It is no atmosphere. Cold lake can not stay for long.
Lin Tse-hsu in 1842 (the entire ago一百四十年) November 5, has been Sailimu Lake. Lin Tse-hsu Diary says: "natives goes like this: There are fetish, such as sea Qingyang, not visible, see the rain hail. The water should not drink, drink the hand, foot and weakness, understanding and yes it is snow cold ears." Lin Tse-hsu was Learn Sailimu Lake of the character.
To Ili, and Yili comrades talk about what we saw Sailimu Lake, they are a little surprised, saying: "It's also very few people in large wind and rain had Sailimu Lake."
Sailimu Lake due south, that is, guozigou. Car to guozigou, the rain stopped. We have come at the wrong time, have not seen the mountain is covered with dense snow of flowers like Ringo, but guozigou has left me a very beautiful impression.
Jeep at the Peak on the road with slow-moving, road side of the following is repeated by the hills and valleys of varying depth. Mountain and valley are green, but green as Debu. Pale yellow, the light green, and deep-green. Every hill and valley are mostly a kind of green method. Probably the lower the more color the more light; more bottom-up, the more deeply. Xinyu the beginning of sunny, Hiiro shines, Xi Cao Feng Rong, soft luster, in the deep shallow Green Mountain Green Valley, the bits and pieces to loose, animal husbandry, the Aries, yellow calf, purplish red horse, very laid-back quiet. The face of steep mountains, thick in spruce stands tall. Plume of black spruce from the plume of clouds between the fly. This is a wonderland. I have been to many places, never think that what the place is paradise. By here, I suddenly remembered this term. I think here that the emergence of a little fairy, dressed in white Sha Yi, Pisan her hair, the hands of the shepherd's crook to take a slender, bare feet, singing songs, singing distant, wrap-around in the valley between the ... ...
From the Ili back to Urumqi and return guozigou. Guozigou did not come as a time. Grass, trees, mountains, a little dry, without the Aura that point. I no longer think this is a fairy again the. Tourism, but also luck. We had great wind and rain event Satoki, after the rain look at guozigou may apply to the event but not impossible.
Automotive turned a hill, a car of people all call up: "Ha!" Sailimu Lake, really blue! Sailimu Lake seems deliberately set up a hill to block people's sight. Around the hill, it's like falling from the sky like the past suddenly appeared.
True Blue! Stayed off for a while, my heart has always exclaimed with: True Blue! I have seen a lot of blue water. "Chunshui Bi in blue" of the West Lake, "than like spring water shield is not bi shu" Jialing River, and most recently seen under the Tianchi Bogda Mountains, do not look like Sailimu Lake so blue. Blue was strange, blue Debu unreasonable to expect. Blue was like a painting inside the Prussian blue pigment, but is not oriented open. Lake, no wind, Watermark thin, such as scales. Tianrong cloud shadow, silhouetted which made gem light. Huse little depth, but a look all blue.
Got on the car twenty minutes walk along the shore, my mind has been repeated this phrase: True blue. Viewed from afar, like a lake Pure Blue ink.
What Sailimu Lake beauty? I could not tell. I just think: True blue. I am too busy to think there is another feeling, there is only one feeling - blue.
Why is this so blue? Some people say that is because the water is too deep. Said Sailimu Lake water depths up to 90 meters. Sailimu Lake elevation 2073 meters, 90 meters water depth is really incredible.
"Race Satoki" is a Turkish word meaning a blessing, peace. Turkic Traveler to here, should be facing the lake, say: "Race Satoki!"
Why to say "match Satoki!" Is out of joy, or out of fear? Sailimu Lake is the mysterious.
Sugong Tower
Sugong tower in Turpan. Turpan land far, outsiders rarely visited, it is not known. Sugong tower, tower also, but not the usual tower. Sugong Tower is a tower of Islam, not pagoda.
It is said that such a structure as Sugong tower tower, a total of 2, and the other in Nanjing.
Tower is not hierarchical. See Shiji timber. Tower heart is a central pillar of brick. The pillars around the winding mountain path, we should gradually coiled up until the top of the tower. Is a huge cylindrical shell, the next-feng on the sharp arch. The big cylinder is a brick, brick out of the square with the strong bump of different styles of geometric patterns in Central Asia, without any additional accessories. Brick is a brick, the outside coated with a layer of loess, pale khaki-colored. This loess, locally produced, inexhaustible, fine soil, no impurities, rich sticky. Turpan it does not rain, brushing tower has not been washed soil slurry marks. More than 200 years, as good as new. Tower is about the equivalent of 10 floors, simple but not simple, compact and not cumbersome. Such a light khaki, and rounded the pillars, erected, vertical sky, quiet and solemn, and accurate expression of Muslim piety and faith.
Tower adjacent to a Mosque, quite magnificent hall that can accommodate thousands of people, but it looks very simple, earth, flat-topped. This Mosque idea is to charge-off thoughts. Not high, do not compete with the tower potential; does not want too humble, because it is the worship place. The building entirely by parallel lines and vertical lines pose, no arc, no ripple fluctuations, but also pale khaki-colored.
Sugong cylindrical tower and Founder of the Mosque have extremely sharp contrast, and is also very coordinated. Sugong Tower is the simple pursuit.
Admirable is the artisans to build the tower is also designed into the blue sky. Simple, as compared with the coordination of the shallow soil but the yellow building, followed by the Turpan Basin, no dregs unique luminous azure blue Sky, was so beautiful. There is no blue sky, not such a light khaki lining how the United States. A thoughtful, clever artisans!
Sugong Tower also known as the amount of Minta. The origin of the tower built in two different ways. Entrance tower with a monument, half Chinese and half-dimensional text. Chinese characters, said Emin tower is made of. Emin and Shuo, Qing Gaozong pacified by helping the Junggar active, a glimpse of the Prince. Inscription has the meaning of gratitude for the Qing emperor, the first monument as a "Great Qing Qianlong", claiming "The Emperor the old servant." While Vivian Balakrishnan said that it was the eldest son of Emin Su Lai Man-made, in order to pray to Allah. The two do not know why there is such a different view. The origin of the different tower names are different.
Great Gobi Huoyanshan Grape Valley
From Urumqi to Turpan, a lot to go through the Gobi Desert. This is a typical large desert grass grows. There is no bio. I passed elsewhere in the Gobi, with a total a little bit Achnatherum, Haloxylon, Tamarix, and occasionally there are 12 Mandala open white flowers, there are a few out of a crow, as black paint coating. Here, nothing. No bird's shadow, there is no Chongsheng, and even traces of moss at all. Is a large flat, flat great. On the ground is gravel. Are almost the same size, it seems that screening before. Black, there are white. Very uniform shop. From a distance, like a shop to ashes in a sub-ballast. Endless.
Really desolate. Swire prehistoric. Really like to what other planets.
Our car speed of 80 kilometers per hour on flat asphalt on the Mercedes-Benz, I think the car like a speedboat Feishi at sea.
Gobi is often seen on the Phantom, seen from afar a lake and clearly. Approached, and nothing at all. Mirage has deceived a lot of thirsty travelers. Phantom is not difficult to hit, we were seen on many occasions.
How through such a place people do? Why do they have to pass such a place? Are they going to do?
Can not help but think of Zhang Qian, think of Ban Chao, I think of Master Xuan Zang. This is great man ... ...
Approaching Turpan, and have seen the Karez. Karez, like a slide a huge ant mound slide. The following is a culvert, flowing down the snow from the Tianshan cited. Waqu these large ant mound is pulled out of the gravel pile. Now, with cement pipes, some of Karez had been abandoned, and some still use the. One day, they will become a monument. But no matter what time, to see these huge ant mound and thought one can from such a large desert below the water cited over, or will play a solemn sense of the history of tragic sense of achievement.
Turpan to see houses, streets, trees, together with a special hot and dry weather, people Hun Hun, and a bit like a dream. Bit do not believe that we are from the desolate Gobi Desert, as came to be.
Turpan is an oasis of well-known. Oasis What does that mean? I grew up in poetry known oasis of trees that only have water and grass areas. And not only known as Island, presumably very small. Wrong. Oasis great. Oasis is a place where people live. Oasis means that people's lives, people's hard work, human illness and death, emotions, human civilization.
1 Turpan, the south is the Huoyanshan.
Gobi again. Here is the hazy light of the Gobi Desert is red in front of the Flaming Mountains. Near the Flaming Mountains, we found that the Gobi is a long emerald green Haloxylon clumps. Such a no rain, the heat of the Gobi on the president out of Haloxylon how come? It is so green! I do not know it was originally so green, or red mountain Chende it more green.
