0177 After death, there is a pile of loess, and the grave never grows grass
Chen Wan'an snorted lightly and continued walking.
"The front is the exhibition hall of Xixia religious art, see that, that is a major feature, that is, Dunhuang Xixia Grottoes, including Mogao Grottoes, East Thousand Buddha Temple, Yulin Grottoes, here is completely in accordance with the ratio of one to one complete copy of Yulin Grottoes 29 Caves and 2 Grottoes, can be said to be the original Xixia Grottoes. Chen Wan'an said and walked over.
The two of them looked at the mural on the wall, which was a picture of Guanyin of the Water Moon.
There is an image of Tang Seng clasping his hands and Sun Wukong leading a horse below, and below the mural is a statue of an offering person.
"Eh, Chen Wan'an, I remember when I was in school, is the image of the Tangut people in the junior high school history textbook here?" Lin Qingchen asked curiously.
Chen Wan'an nodded, pointed to the Xixia murals in the second cave of Yulin Cave and said, "That's it, that's right." ”
Lin Qingchen nodded, and sure enough, it was much more charming to verify his memory and feel history with his own eyes than in textbooks.
The two admired in the Xixia Grottoes, and came to the Xixia Social Economy Exhibition Hall again.
Suddenly, the two of them were amazed by the huge Xixia steamed bread kiln ruins.
This is a Xixia steamed bread kiln that occupies 200 square meters, and a two-meter-high glass corridor is built around the kiln body.
"Look at the big mound from afar, and see the mound up close. Chen Wan'an muttered involuntarily.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Qingchen asked.
Chen Wan'an smiled and said: "Isn't this what the royal tomb originally looked like? The earliest architectural style of the Xixia Tomb was very solemn and majestic, but now it is somewhat lacking in some feeling, but it is understandable, we will go to the No. 3 cemetery architectural model to see the appearance of the early stage of the cemetery." ”
......
The two of them went all the way to the museum, and then took a sightseeing bus to the mausoleum area.
This is what Lin Qingchen resists.
After all, the grave is only liked by Captain Jin.
There are a total of nine imperial tombs in this Western Xia royal tomb, and three imperial tombs can be seen at present.
Among the opening No. 1, 2 and 3 mausoleums, the No. 3 mausoleum is separate, and the No. 1 and No. 2 mausoleums are next to each other, which is the so-called double mausoleum.
And the owners of these three mausoleums are Li Jiqian, Li Deming, and Li Yuanhao.
Grandfather Li Jiqian, father Li Deming, and the most famous founding emperor of Western Xia, Li Yuanhao!
Chen Wan'an's introduction was vigorous, but Lin Qingchen only had a pile of loess when he looked closely.
Known as the Oriental Pyramids, the mysterious tombs of the Western Xia kings are just a pile of loess.
Lin Qingchen pointed to a cave about five meters deep in front of Li Yuanhao's mausoleum and asked, "What is that?"
"This looks like a hole left by a tomb robber. Chen Wan'an explained.
"But why don't you just dig the mound, but dig ten meters in front of the mound?" Lin Qingchen asked with some curiosity.
Chen Wan'an thought for a while and said: "Because the burial customs of the Tangut people are different from those of the Han people, they will not be buried directly in the mausoleum, but in front of the mausoleum, so that cave happens to be the burial place, which shows that this tomb robber is familiar with the burial customs of the Tangut people." ”
Two people walking in the mausoleum area, large and small mounds are scattered on this land, its momentum is no different from the branch of the Egyptian pyramids, but there is a difference in shape and scale.
But the tombs of the Tangut kings still have many mysteries of their own.
"See? The mound of the tomb of the Xixia King never grows grass, and the birds never stay on the mound, mysterious, right?" Chen Wan'an smiled.
"What's mysterious about this?" Lin Qingchen was stunned.
"Whose grave doesn't grow grass these days? The person who offended me last year is now more than three feet tall on his grave!"
......
"Time is ruthless, whether it is the three emperors and five emperors, or the pawns, in the end it is a pile of loess, and the joy of history is to find the bits and pieces of the time through these disappearing elements, whether it is joy, sadness, success, failure, domination of the world or success or defeat, all laugh and talk about it...... Chen Wan'an said with a smile.
Western Xia, a dynasty sunk in the yellow sand.
Maybe the story can echo in the hearts of many people for a long time and will not decline......
......
Walking out of the tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty, Chen Wan'an and Lin Qingchen were in a good mood.
It's a cultural trip.
Perhaps for many people, they never know what the point of visiting some museums, seeing cultural relics, and witnessing history is.
However, learning more about history and feeling more about yourself will really improve your state of mind.
"Where are we going next?" asked Lin Qingchen with the small souvenir he had just bought.
"Of course, it will take you to a rare resort in the world, the sand lake stuffed with pearls. Chen Wan'an smiled.
Chen Wan'an then continued: "This sand lake is an organic combination of sand, water, reeds, birds, and mountains with the natural landscape as the main body, forming a unique and beautiful landscape, and it is a good place to integrate the shyness of the south of the Yangtze River and the landscape outside the Saiwai, which is also a must-check in my travel destination." ”
......
As the so-called distant mountains are like daisies, sand and water meet, green reeds swaying, flocks of birds, there is a good saying, coming to Ningxia without sand lake is equivalent to never coming to Ningxia.
So Sand Lake is a must-visit place.
Because in addition to the vast lake, the golden and picturesque sand mountain, the graceful reeds, thousands of birds, there are also 10,000 acres of lotus garden with infinite lotus leaves, as well as the sleeping Buddha of Helan Mountain, and the evocative long sand lake big fish head.
Clusters of emerald green reeds, a picture of the scenery of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
When Chen Wan'an and Lin Qingchen walked on the exquisite ornamental trail and had a close contact with 10,000 acres of lotus flowers at zero distance, Chen Wan'an really couldn't stop shooting.
Lin Qingchen was in the lotus flower, as if he had accidentally turned into a charming, fresh and elegant fairy in the flower.
This 10,000-acre lotus garden is really lush with lotus flowers in full bloom.
The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red.
Perhaps this is the truest portrayal here.
The scenery here is really so moving, the pink lotus flowers stand on the verdant lotus leaves, like a shy and feminine fairy, without a trace of impurities, as if exuding a pure and beautiful graceful posture.
"Chen Wan'an, you only shoot lotus flowers like this, why don't you shoot me?" Lin Qingchen looked at Chen Wan'an and kept shooting lotus flowers.
Chen Wan'an smiled: "Actually, I don't mind taking pictures of you here, after all, the style of this kind of shooting is mostly elderly...... Are you sure you want to shoot?" Chen Wan'an said, raising his camera to Lin Qingchen.
......
Chen Goodnight took Lin Qingchen to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the lake on a cruise ship, watching the birds fly by in the sky, and watching the birds fly on the Bird Island.
When the weather is so fine, I am really in a good mood.
Not far away, several colorful hot air balloons and water paragliding paragliders floating in the sky caught the attention of two people.
