The drone has consciously climbed into the blue sky after the snow according to Zhang Yang's instructions, and completely incorporated the beautiful scenery of ink painting below into the picture.

Yesterday it was still dark clouds, today it is already a clear sky, of course, the temperature is still not so high, it is still very cold, and it can even be said that there is a chill biting.

If Tianshan Yaochi in spring is a little girl who is in love, then Tianshan Yaochi in summer is a young woman who is enthusiastic and unrestrained but delicate, and the beauty of the two of them is active and direct.

In autumn, the fallen leaves nourish the earth, and the autumn breeze blows on the face, just like a mother who has become a mother.

But this winter Tianshan and Yaochi give people a completely different sensory enjoyment, she is like the cold ice beauty, obviously beautiful things, but never take the initiative to express your emotions to others, will only attract you to slowly approach your own understanding.

"The Tianshan Mountains are one of the world's seven major mountain systems, and they are located in the hinterland of Eurasia, the largest land on earth, and his east and west span four countries: Xia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.

It is the largest independent zonal mountain system in the world, the world's farthest mountain system from the ocean and the largest mountain system in the world's arid regions.

At 12:10 a.m. on June 21, 2013, the four areas of Tomur Peak, Karajun-Kurdening, Bayinbrook and Bogda in the Tianshan Mountains successfully applied for World Natural Heritage under the name of 'Xinjiang Tianshan', becoming the 44th World Heritage Site in Xia Kingdom.

And the most famous here should be Tianchi, in ancient times it was called Yao Chi, the name of Tianchi comes from the 48th year of Qianlong Urumqi Dutong bright "Lingshan Tianchi Dredging Canal Tablet".

I remember that the inscription described it like this: Seeing the vastness of the Divine Pond, like a heavenly mirror floating in the air, it was later renamed Tianchi. ”

Came to Tianchi Lake, that is, next to the Yao Chi in ancient times, found a speedboat leaning on the shore, after purchasing tickets, Zhang Yang and He Xiaoman wrapped in a military coat provided by the staff, which should belong to the winter special, it seems to have a little taste that belongs to other people, just like those tourists who travel to the cave, there will be a coat provided by the scenic spot.

The speed of the speedboat did not dare to be too fast, even in order to let tourists experience the leisurely comfort of being in the Yao Pond in this winter, but the same swishing cold wind with the bonus of low temperature in winter could not be fast at all.

"We don't need to say much about Yaochi, myths and stories say that the Queen Mother lives here, this is a holy place that people yearn for in myths and legends, and it can also be said to be a more famous mountain lake in the world.

By the way, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Yao Chi in winter in the air, and experience the enjoyment of overlooking the ground like a fairy, and the place we are going to go later is the West Queen Mother Temple. ”

The speedboat did not go deep into the interior of Yaochi, but found a straight line along the shore and came to the northeast corner of Yaochi, where there is a Taoist hall with a history of more than 800 years.

"The ancestral temple of the West Queen Mother can be said to have gone through several vicissitudes, and was built in the Yuan Dynasty, with a history of 800 years.

It has undergone three repairs in its history, the last time it was destroyed in 1932.

In April 1999, invested by Urumqi Daocheng Industrial Company, and cooperated with the Tianchi Administration, the original temple site was rebuilt on the site of the 'West Queen Mother Ancestral Temple', the rebuilt West Queen Mother Ancestral Temple basically retains the architectural style of the original temple, the temple covers an area of about 2,000 square meters, with a construction area of 429 square meters, located on the east bank of Tianchi, and is one of the important landscapes of Tianchi. ”

According to Taoists, any Taoist temple must be very particular about feng shui.

From the shore along a trail all the way to the West Queen Mother Temple, Zhang Yang, who had learned in advance, first discovered the mysterious geographical location of the West Queen Mother Ancestral Temple.

It sits in the north and faces south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by water on one side, located in the middle of Wolong Mountain, according to Taoism, it should occupy the aura of Tianshan Tianchi landscape, the essence of the sun and the moon.

Looking up into the distance, on the left side of the ancestral temple of the West Queen Mother is the Taoist sacred mountain Bogda Peak, which is covered with snow all year round, which is called Zuo Qinglong.

On the right is the outlet of Tianchi, which is called the right white tiger, and below is the beautiful Tianshan Yao Pond behind Zhang Yang.

"Sitting in the north and facing south, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and surrounded by water on one side, this ancestral temple just formed a very rare left green dragon and right white tiger in Taoist feng shui. ”

Looking at the ancestral temple of the Queen Mother of the West in front of him, Zhang Yang said with emotion.

I don't know whether the sky deliberately reserved such a piece of feng shui treasure land for the queen mother, or the founders searched for the mountains and streams to find the holy land in the world, and combined the harmony between man and nature in the deep mountains and ancient temples, so as to win the best time, place, and people, and achieve the realm of the unity of heaven and man.

Walking in the ancestral temple, lifting his feet and stepping up the steps, from the brand new Tai Chi Bagua to the entrance of the ancestral temple along the stairs on both sides, looking at the 'Taoism of nature' that can be seen everywhere on the white walls of the temple, Zhang Yang suddenly remembered a story he told before.

"Earlier, I should have told you a legendary story between the Queen Mother of the West and King Zhou Mu, which is interesting.

According to the Western Zhou Dynasty historical classic "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", Volume 3 records: Yi Chou, the son of heaven (shāng toast, drinking) The Queen Mother of the West is on the Yao Pond.

In 965 B.C., King Ji Man of Zhou Mu drove west to Tianshan Yaochi, the Queen Mother of the West set up a banquet to entertain, King Mu of Zhou gave silk and jade to each other, the wine to rise, the Queen Mother of the West made a song on the spot, the content is like this.

The white clouds are in the sky, and the mountains are out of their own.

The road is far away, and the mountains and rivers are among them.

The general is not dead, can he still come back?

Immediately, King Mu of Zhou responded: Give it back to the eastern land, and rule the summer, all the people are equal, and I will see you. Compared with three years, it will be wild.

It is because of the singing and harmony of these two people that the great poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty once wrote in his quatrain of "Yao Chi" after learning about it: The window of Yao Chi and Mother Qi is open, and Huang Zhu's song is moving. Eight horses travel 30,000 miles a day, why don't King Mu do it again?

This legendary story regards the Queen Mother of the West as the Queen Mother of the Heavens, and this human-god love drama naturally aroused the infinite reverie of literati and writers in all dynasties. ”

Zhang Yang suddenly made a point of view, which made the friends in the live broadcast room who had always thought that the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were originally a couple or senior brothers and sisters a little confused, but before they could ask, Zhang Yang's subsequent words expressed his own opinion.

In fact, someone later researched: The Queen Mother of the West is just the monarch of a Western country.

This person named the Queen Mother of the West may be the queen of a small country conquered by Zhou Tianzi in the Western Regions at that time, just understand the literal meaning, the Queen Mother of the West, the master of a country in the west, because at that time some uncivilized places should still be a matriarchal society, if it was a later slave society, the West Queen Father is also possible, haha!!

Because the Zhou Dynasty has been established for about 130 years during this period, it is the heyday of the development of slavery, and the westward expedition of Zhou Tianzi is like a thunderbolt for those small tribal countries in the Western Regions that are still in the late stage of matriarchal society or the early stage of slavery.

People in our modern society, some people believe in gods and ghosts, and some people don't believe in gods and ghosts, but it is undeniable that most of the myths and legends that circulate in our modern society are not deeply understood by ancient people and nature, so they mythologize what they don't know.
