In fact, the horse breed of "sweat and blood horse" has never disappeared, but it is rarely seen in China, or it has only disappeared in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In Turkmenistan and Russia, there are relatively large populations, with a total of more than 2,000 horses, but in the local area, the so-called "Khan Blood Zun" is called Ahama, and the full name is Akhal Tejin horse.
The bloody horse that the Turkish president gave to the Chinese leader mentioned above is the Akhal-Teke horse, which is also one of the two national treasures of Turkmenistan, and is often used as a gift to relevant important people abroad.
Although it is difficult to see sweat horses on the land of China for thousands of years, the influence of sweat horses on Chinese horse breeds has been continued from the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the significance is very far-reaching.
In Yili, Xinjiang, known as "Tengkunlun, the West Pole", it is also the hometown of Tianma.
According to the history books, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a foreign country to offer Wusun horses, Emperor Wu saw that this horse was handsome and upright, so he gave the name "Tianma", and later someone paid tribute to the sweat and blood horse of Dawan in the Western Regions, so he renamed the Wusun horse "West Pole Horse," and called the sweat and blood horse "Tianma".
The "heavenly horse" and "West Pole horse" mentioned here are the ancestors of the Ili Kazakh horse, the Ili horse has a handsome appearance, a burly physique, and a strong ability to heal diseases, and is one of the excellent horse breeds bred in China.
That is to say, among the best horse breeds in China, there is the bloodline of sweaty horses, or directly the descendants of sweaty horses.
Therefore, since the seventies and eighties of the last century, Chinese animal research experts have been carrying out research work on sweaty horses, and the incident of sweaty horses in Xinjiang has caused a great sensation in China for a while.
However, because the Japanese scholar Shimizu Hayato only took out photos and failed to capture the sweaty horse, although the relevant research institutions then organized people to go deep into Xinjiang and other places, but there was no trace of the sweaty horse, and the matter was finally closed.
Battle looked at the wind-chasing who was leisurely grazing in the distance with envy, and said to Zhuang Rui: "Brother Zhuang, I estimate that your horse is the descendant of the batch of sweaty horses introduced by the cavalry regiment in the fifties.
The people of that association did not know the damage of hybridization to sweaty horses, and at that time, the horses were lent to many herders for breeding, which led to the sweaty horses eventually disappearing from the country......"
"Hmm, Brother Battle, cross-breeding will only thin out the bloodline of sweaty horses, so why do you still say that this horse is a descendant of that horse?"
Battle's words made Zhuang Rui very incomprehensible, since crossbreeding will make sweaty horses impure, then how can he still say that his horse is the offspring of those horses?
Battle scratched his head and said: "Brother Zhuang, the cavalry regiment is in the Xilingrad League in Inner Mongolia, there were still many wild horses on the Mongolian grassland at that time, and I estimate that the chasing wind is the descendants of the sweat and blood horses and the Mongolian wild horses, but why it completely retains the bloodline of the sweat and blood horses, I don't know......"
Although Battle knows a lot about horses, he doesn't know much about complex things such as genetic pedigree, and can only give a rough guess. (Starter)
For Zhuang Rui's good luck, Ba Zhier, a straightforward man, even had a trace of jealousy in his heart, as a grassland man who loves horses, who can see such a miraculous horse and be indifferent?
"Hehe, chasing the wind is a gift from God, no matter where it came from......"
Zhuang Rui smiled and shook his head, this egg is delicious, there is no need to know the ** who lays the egg?
Regardless of whether Zhuang Rui doesn't know it at this moment, Chasing the Wind is not only the fastest horse in the world, but its value is far beyond his imagination.
In modern society, the horses that were originally used to fight on the battlefield have long been unarmored and returned to the field and put in Nanshan, but horse riding has become a sport and is much loved by nobles from all over the world.
In the homes of many wealthy people abroad, there is no special horse farm, please have a professional horse trainer, and then spend hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars to buy noble horses, which is more expensive and high-level than playing yachts and cars, and is a real rich man's sport.
Even now there are many emerging aristocrats in China, who participate in the sport of playing horses, but due to the constraints of conditions, they are all purchased horses, fostered in professional horse farms, and will not go to gallop on horses on weekends or in free time, to relax.
In fact, there are not many people who understand horses, and those rich people only know a little about horses, these days, people who can raise horses can't afford to play horses, and people who can spend a lot of money to play horses don't understand horses, so the racecourse club came into being, specifically for those bosses.
Due to the popularity of these rich people, the price of famous horses is getting more and more expensive, such an ancient and excellent horse breed as the sweat horse, but also the pursuit of the rich, ordinary sweat horse is hundreds of thousands of dollars, if the breed is pure, it is sold for tens of millions of dollars, it is not an uncommon thing.
A sweaty horse with a figure like Chasing the Wind and no variegated sweat and blood on his body, if he really enters the horse market, he will definitely sell it for a terrifying sky-high price.
Of course, it is impossible for Zhuang Rui to sell Chasing the Wind, every animal raised in his family has a deep relationship with Zhuang Rui that is difficult to give up.
And the mind of animals is the purest and most sensitive, and if you don't have a good heart, they can sense it.
"Brother Battle is the best horse trainer in our grassland, and he hasn't even touched the hair of this horse, Zhuang Rui'an replied, how did you tame this horse?" Timur, who was straight, asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
In Timur's heart, Battle is the best rider and horse trainer, but what Battle didn't do, Zhuang Rui did it, and Timur has been wondering in his heart what method Zhuang Rui used to tame the wind.
"By the way, my little white......"
Just now, everyone was amazed by Zhuang Rui's face full of "blood" and the chasing wind behind, no one forgot the white horse that Zhuang Rui rode first, at this moment the dark cloud Qiqige suddenly remembered, the little girl and the white horse have a very deep relationship, and there is already a cry in the voice.
"Ahem......"
Zhuang Rui was suddenly a little embarrassed when he heard this, he only cared about running happily in the morning, but he forgot about Xiaobai, and at least he had to throw Xiaobai out for dozens of kilometers in order to chase the wind.
"That...... Xiaobai is behind, and he should come over soon......"
Zhuang Rui didn't have much confidence in what he said, and then said: "In that group of wild horses, there are a lot of white horses, Qiqige, can Brother Zhuang Rui choose a good-looking horse for you when the time comes?"
"Don't, I'll just ...... Xiaobai"
Wuyun Qiqige thought that something had happened to Xiaobai, and the tears began to fall crackling.
When Battle saw his sister's appearance, he said: "Kikige, what's there to cry about, it doesn't matter if Xiaobai runs away, it knows how to go back......"
Not to mention that the white horse knows the way, even if he doesn't know the road, in this prairie, there will be no herdsmen who take it for themselves with a black conscience and encroach on other people's horses, cattle and sheep, which is a very inferior thing.
"By the way, Brother Battle, what is that place? Why is the terrain so strange? ”
Zhuang Rui was afraid that the little girl would shed tears when she mentioned the matter of the horse again, so he pointed to the small hill in the distance and changed the topic.
"You mean the Alzhai Grottoes?"
Battle followed Zhuang Rui's finger and looked, "It is also called the Hundred Eyes Cave, which contains many Buddhist stone carvings, and it is also the holy place of our Mongolian people, where Genghis Khan once raised his wounded ......."
"This is the Alzhai Grottoes?"
When Zhuang Rui heard the name, he suddenly realized that before coming to Inner Mongolia this time, Dr. Ren told him about the rumors about the Alzhai Grottoes, which are also known as "the only surviving late Buddhist grotto relics,,。
In the Alzhai Grottoes, there are nearly 1,000 long-standing, magnificent and colorful murals, which are also the most valuable cultural and artistic heritage of the caves.
Legend has it that when Genghis Khan conquered the Western Xia for the sixth time in 1225, he set up his headquarters in the Alcha Grottoes, and the "Secret History of the Mongols" recorded in detail the whole process of Genghis Khan's recuperation of his wounds, convening a meeting of the generals, and leading the army to defeat the Western Xia army in Helan Mountain despite the initial recovery of the wounds.
On the right side of the entrance to the south wall of the Alzhai Fei Cave, there is a picture of Genghis Khan's imperial appearance.
On this picture, Genghis Khan and others sit in the center with the Archa Grottoes as the background, and there are nearly hundreds of people of all colors painted around it, and its composition is very similar to the ancient paintings in the Eight White Palaces enshrined by the Ordos Department, and the posture of the characters is exactly the same as that of the Great Khan and Hatun in the Yuan Dynasty mandala in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This mural also shows that the records in the "Secret History of the Mongols" are not groundless, and it has also become the focus of research by Mongolian and Yuan historians.
After the Alzhai Grottoes became the place of worship of the Buddha from the Northern Dynasties, through the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Western Xia, it has been prosperous, and when the Mongols became the conquerors of the world, the political status of the Alzhai Grottoes Temple has reached the peak.
Because of the story left by Genghis Khan in the Alzhai Grottoes, the Mongols have long paid homage to Genghis Khan here, and throughout the Mongol Empire, the Aljia Grotto Temple has been one of several memorials of different natures to pay tribute to Genghis Khan.
The main purpose of everyone's trip is to find Zhuang Rui, and now that they have found Zhuang Rui, there is no need to continue to move forward, Timur is familiar with the lamas of the Alzhai Grottoes, so he said: "Zhuang Rui replied, let's go to the grottoes to rest for a while, you also have to wash your body......"
"Okay, I was going to see ......."
Timur's words are right in Zhuang Rui's heart, and it is not a few days before the deadline for making an appointment with Professor Meng, and he is not very hopeful about finding the tombs of Mongolian emperors, so he wants to have a good understanding of the Mongolian Yuan culture in the next time.
