"Some people get everything handed to wealth and status during his lifetime, after his death did not forget to continue their dream of luxury and luxury. In the end, thieves frequently patronize, do not die down upsets the peace 。。。"。
- From Xiangfei Mu out, thinking of luxury after the death of the emperors and their experiences of what has pirates.
From the Bayinbuluke out of the way forward, more than 22:00 to Kuqa. Came around, found a hotel, fairly clean, there is hot water available. Uygur people management, and live very often they are Uygur. Bird though Some muttering, see other people do not agree. then gave up. quickly, horse cat bird buried stayed to sleep. pirates teach you in the city as usual, out of the night. food stalls, dance halls, ambiguous salon, X light district and the mainland is no different. barracks look more After all, Xinjiang is home to a lot of soldiers, and a considerable portion in Kuqa. A taxi driver said that the house is very cheap, the birds engage in land cover later insisted villa here. this is something.
The next morning, wash finished, used for breakfast, went straight to Kizil Caves.
Kizil Thousand-Buddha Grottoes is one of China's four Buddhist grotto is said to incense, when Zeng Lu Zeng Sheng Guo million people. The most admirable is that more than ten thousand square meters of frescoes, many documented transmission of the Buddha story, stories, and fate farming hunting scenes. Dunhuang, so they like to see a fantasy glory. But to be able to see, the only devastated, residual color Duanbi.
It turned out that the first letter of the Uighur's ancestors only Shamanism; to the mid-8th century, Manichaeism passed, side by side as the state religion. To the Northern Song Dynasty after the Buddhist influence was mounting gradually take the place of other religions, to become the dominant religion. After the 10 century, Islam was introduced into Xinjiang, religion and power driven, resulting in a brutal religious war. After many setbacks and reversals of Islam in the use of swords, the last piece is called Buddhism at the second home area for their win of the living space, while the Buddhist Temple, Buddhist statues, and other facilities, we have been completely destroyed.
We have been told that religion is the opium of narcotic spirit of the people, and all religions say that they are teaching people to "love" "Peace" and "tolerance." I'm not interested in religion, nor can seriously studied what is in the end of religion, but it is difficult to understand that the purpose of religious believers looking for a faith and disputes arising out revenge killings. We have seen too many of the beliefs of the great destructive power. Past, the present remains. Bamiyan Buddha statues in the gunfire disappeared, so that the world's largest Buddha statues from this can only regret that become memories. The United States, Mr. cloth to fight in Iraq, also known as a new crusade. (Although the United States for his actions, Mr. Phi has a fig leaf of democracy and freedom and human rights, but even they themselves, or want to say shy in talking about the clash of civilizations Shimo). In order to destroy another belief into a belief, in order to destroy a civilization at another civilization, that in itself is a mockery to civilization. The destruction of Bamiyan Buddha, destroying more than just a statue, as well as the most basic human values and beliefs, and when the modern iron and steel weapons will be a building blocks of razed to the ground when the human heart will be also some sort of order, came crashing down .
In Xinjiang, we only know the Xinjiang Uygur people at the places where Islam. Do not have much concept of Islam. It was discovered that Islam advocates joining the WTO, through its teachings and religious rules and teachings, not only to dominate the spiritual life of their religious believers, but also affect their secular lives. In addition it should be in terms of ideology requires each Muslim beliefs, the action should perform the five major religions homework, known as the "five power", namely: read, ceremony, fasting, class, North Korea. Daily see the most is the so-called gift, that is worship.
Therefore, whenever the time comes worship inside the mosque is always full of devout believers gather, and those people before you reach the temple, local thorough wash, whether in the home, car, or any place Shimo, surface the direction of Mecca to the West, or抄手standing, or Koushou prayer. In Kashgar, a restaurant dinner, there are several women suddenly rushed into the past at our table next to a piece of cloth lay down, buckle up the first prayer.
The strange thing is, whether it is the mosque, or people's homes, had never seen anyone's portrait statues and the like, This is one so ignorant of us curious. A question found out that Islam prohibited the custom of personal worship and Zhou Fu. This little discovery Daorang used to build God's endless, we were astonished.
Uygur people said do not bring refuses to bring health, it flies most days of calm and clear with a trace of the impact of traditional Chinese culture, such as the Zhuangzi. Their "a religious song" will be unmistakable expression of this idea. "Riches and honor the end I help? Read what 10 is contained Qingdeng? Hope what Miles Pengcheng? Fame unrivaled Nanke dream." When alive, to shake off the shackles of society and the lure of fame and riches, to seek spiritual calm and relief, the dead time to have simple, just a coffin, a grave package. Although the appearance of the lot has 369 and so on, but never see a large number of funerary Han common, so never Tomb of the phenomenon, after death is also the tranquility of sleep. Only in recent years, they have gradually been Han culture, some of the impact of red tape. In Kuqa, we saw a desert kind of person Uygur leader's funeral. The long convoy through the streets. But also what is said, "seven days", "Si Shiri", "Hundred Days", "anniversary" or even "third anniversary" and "five years" and other human activities commemorate the dead. May not be long before color TV refrigerator and even Miss will appear at the funeral, right? By that time, had been resting for centuries Epahuojia, Xiang Fei, and other gurus will not lie there, willing to do lonely?
