Section 181 Ancient city style

As far as we can see, the ruins of this ancient and mysterious ancient city of Loulan are really beautiful, resplendent and empty, which makes people yearn for it and make our hearts flutter.

We are dazzled and dizzy, and we really have a feeling that a tiger eats the sky and has no way to eat. Suddenly, I saw a unique pagoda about 10 meters high in front of me that looks so towering in the yellow sand desert, unattainable, so fascinating, so eye-catching, about this is the tallest building in Loulan City, resplendent and brilliant, and the top of it is inlaid with gold and jade.

Moreover, the pagoda of this large temple is 3 meters in diameter, with a beautiful shape, sitting on a rectangular pedestal, and there are painted murals on the top, and it is well preserved and clearly visible, and you can clearly distinguish the vivid images of Hanfu figures, rhinoceros and camels.

We hurriedly ran into the pagoda and went, overlooking the ancient city of Loulan on it, with an unobstructed view and incomparably clear, there is a beacon in its northeast corner, which has obvious architectural characteristics of the Han Dynasty.

The southwest corner of the beacon is famous

The "three rooms" have survived disasters and time, but they are still standing, so they have become the landmark buildings of the ancient city of Loulan.

The three-room house is a three-room house side by side, which is the tallest building in Loulan City, and it is speculated that it may have been an official office at the time.

Since Sven Hedin later discovered the ancient city of Loulan and excavated a large number of precious documents under the corner of the three-room wall, Tachibana Ruichao from Japan and Stan Ying from the United Kingdom have excavated here and transported cultural relics out of the country.

The staggered and orderly, rows of dwellings are unique in shape, densely arranged, and there are many unused beacon towers in the southeast of the ancient city that continue to the west bank of Lop Nur.

After seeing the beautiful scenery outside the ancient city, we quickly shifted our eyes to the inside of the tower and couldn't wait to start admiring it.

Here, in addition to countless and dazzling ancient items, exquisite, unique, finely carved wood carvings, all kinds of long-lost Lu documents, wood carving building components with Greek art and culture, five baht coins, (佉) Lu letters, all kinds of colorful reliefs, lacquered furniture, bronze artworks, exquisite Loulan beauties once wore small and exquisite embroidered shoes, as well as exquisite and luxurious, colorful silk, A large number of cultural relics such as woolen fabrics, more pleasing to our eyes, ecstatic is the four walls, the top of the cave, the road, the niche lintel, all are colorful, colorful and exquisite murals, so that we can also enjoy the beautiful murals close at hand, not only including the flying sky, the joy of the sky, the pagoda, the Bodhisattva, the Arhat, the eight parts of the dragon, the story of the Buddha's birth, the story of the Buddha, the picture of the change, and there are a large number of folk customs painting - the production and life scenes of the ancient times, the scene of the Qiuzi band playing, the landscape of the Western Regions, the donor, Birds and beasts, as well as two oxen lifting bars, farming maps, etc., etc., etc., the murals are brilliant, colorful, bizarre display in front of our eyes, it is really the crown of story paintings, constituting the cultural relics of Xinjiang with the most distinctive regional characteristics, mysterious and full of exotic customs, Xiao Fei suddenly called us over, only to see him staring intently at the murals on the mottled and ancient walls, he also found that in 1907 the Hungarian-British explorer Stein in Xinjiang in the Milan ruins of surprise found never reportedThe world-famous, world-famous frescoes of winged angels, completely unexpected, and the remnants of prayer ribbons with Lu Wen's inscriptions, silently illustrate that the monastery here was abandoned 3rd or 4th century ago.

I saw that this group of pictures shows a beautiful procession, elegant white elephants, four magnificent high-headed carriages, and handsome princes on horseback, etc., which resemble Indian art in shape, but are also full of imitation of Greco-Roman classical art.

We were also amazed and intently looking, but it really surprised us, because it seemed to us that the whole conception of the mural and the expression of the eyes were purely Western.

Moreover, the famous archaeologist Stein believes that these frescoes clearly have the artistic style of ancient Rome, and in his opinion, these winged angels undoubtedly flew from ancient Rome in Europe to ancient countries in the East.

Stein is particularly for

Thrilled by the discovery of the "winged angel". He wrote: "This is a great discovery! They flew to China about 2,000 years ago. Xiao Fei couldn't help but say: "This Milan mural should be one of the oldest murals preserved in Xinjiang

The "winged angel" is arguably the furthest point where ancient Roman art spread to the East. Stein's discovery caused a sensation in the European cultural and archaeological circles, and Xinjiang Milan is no longer an unfamiliar name, but has become a place where the world is vying for style.

I feel that Loulan is really the link between Chinese and Western cultures, and its role is really not to be underestimated. It reveals the important historical sites of the mysterious rise and fall of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, is an important area for the eastward spread of Buddhism from Xinjiang to the interior, and is also a rare proof of the exchange between Tibet and the Western Regions in historical records.

No wonder in the history of mankind, Loulan is a name full of mystery, now I see it with my own eyes, it is true, I did not expect it to have such a splendid and brilliant ah, although after thousands of years of wind and rain, but this ancient and mysterious, buried by the wind and sand of the ancient city is still as brilliant as ever. ”
