175. Mongolian Culture

A little further afield, you will see huge, delicate and vivid sand sculptures. The desert is exceptionally quiet and comfortable, and under the blue and clean sky, seeing such expressive and magnificent sand sculptures makes people feel like entering a sacred and solemn temple.

The first thing that came into sight was the huge smiling Maitreya Buddha, who sat leisurely on the lotus throne, looking ahead, smiling at the rise and fall of the world.

Around him were eighteen arhats, each smaller than the size of Maitreya Buddha, with different forms and realistic expressions.

The skinny Basho Arhat leans on the scroll and glares angrily; the cloth bag Arhat has a simple smile, his ears hang down his shoulders, his huge general's belly, and he carries a large cloth bag containing all the troubles of the world; the long-eyebrow Arhat's eyebrows touch his knees, and he holds a dragon's head staff in his right hand, and sits on a stone bench, feeling contented; the contemplative Arhat's right hand is on his cheek, looking like he is in deep thought, and he feels like he is out of the world; the Fuhu Arhat has angry eyes, holding the Qiankun circle in his hand, facing the tiger grinning under his crotch; the lovely joyful Arhat, smiling and stretching his hands in front of his chest, as if he wants to break away from the red dust, shaking his hands goodbye to the hippie look。

There are also arhats such as dragon descending, laughing lion, elephant riding, sitting deer, crossing the river, probing, tota, ear picking, gatekeeper, happy, bowl-lifting, meditation and so on.

It is said that in Buddhism, the arhats are not called such secular arhats, but the venerable ones, and these names are given to them by the countryside for their abilities and characteristics.

The Dragon Descending Arhat is the Venerable Qingyou, and legend has it that he once subdued the evil dragon, and everyone called him the Dragon Descending Arhat.

Fuhu Arhat is the Venerable Bintou Lu, who once subdued the tiger, hence the name.

The laughing lion Arhat is the Venerable Rofdo, originally a hunter, because he no longer kills when he learns Buddhism, and the lion comes to thank him, so he has this name.

The elephant riding Arhat is the Venerable Kalika, who was originally an elephant mahout, hence the name.

The Sitting Deer Arhat was the Venerable Bin Lovara who once rode a deer into the palace to persuade the king to learn Buddhism and practice.

The cloth bag Arhat is the Venerable Injieda, who often travels around the world with a cloth bag on his back and smiles openly.

The Basho Arhat Navanabhas, after becoming a monk, often practiced under the banana tree, so he was called the Basho Arhat.

The long-eyebrow Arhat is the Venerable Ashiduo, and legend has it that he had two long-hanging eyebrows when he was born.

Huanxi Arhat is the Venerable Kanovava, who was originally an eloquent man in ancient India.

Contemplation of Arhats: Venerable Raja, among the ten disciples of the Buddha, the tantric practice is the first, and his thoughts and cultivation are quite good.

Crossing the river Arhat: Venerable Bhadra, crossing the river is like a dragonfly touching the water.

Tanner Arhat: The Venerable Half Toga, who got his name because he often raised his hand and stretched his waist after meditating.

Tota Arhat: Subinta, the last disciple of the Buddha, often held the stupa in his hand because he remembered the Buddha.

Ear-digging Arhat: The Venerable Naga Xi Na is famous for his "pure ear roots", does not listen to foul language, and has few but many troubles, so he is called the ear-digging Arhat.

Gatekeeper Arhat: The Venerable One who is half a Toga, and is dedicated to his duties.

Happy Arhat: The Venerable Buddha Buddha once revealed his heart and made people aware of the Buddha in their hearts.

Arhat: Kanoga Bali Sui Pavilion is a practitioner of dervishes.

Meditation Arhat: The Venerable Nogi Luo, also known as a strong Arhat, is famous for his infinite strength because he was born as a warrior in the past.

Each sand sculpture shows the painstaking and painstaking efforts of the maker. The demeanor and appearance of the arhats are meticulously depicted, and even the lines of their clothes are meticulously depicted.

Further on, there is a particularly interesting sand sculpture: a mouse marrying. Each mouse is different, there is a division of labor in blowing, playing and singing, and there is a flowery bride and a groom riding a tall horse, hehe, a rather spectacular greeting procession is in order. The children talked a lot on the camel and sighed with emotion.

The magnificent statue of Genghis Khan, the next generation of Tianjiao, shines into view, and his heroic and heroic spirit is vividly displayed.

Genghis Khan, the son of Genghis Khan, was born in the second year of King Shizong of the Jin Dynasty, and then his father was killed, and his department was scattered. After continuous efforts, he united with Zamuhe and his father's Antatu Lingle, reorganized Qiyan, and finally slowly developed and finally unified Mongolia.

Sun Yat-sen once said of Ghis Khan: "Among the most powerful ethnic groups in early Asia, the Yuan Mongols were the first. "During the Yuan Dynasty, almost all of Europe was occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, which was far more powerful than the period when China was at its strongest." [

Bai Yang spoke highly of Genghis Khan in the "Outline of the History of the Chinese": "Temujin is one of the greatest organizers and military strategists in history, and his brilliant achievements in politics and on the battlefield are rarely comparable to him before the twentieth century." Temujin was open-minded and magnificent, and he ruled over his empire, which was expanding every day, with a high degree of wisdom that enabled him to display his talents. ”

Someone once counted that Genghis Khan fought more than 60 wars in his lifetime, and none of them failed except for the Battle of the Thirteen Wings and retreated due to the disparity in strength. Therefore, the Chinese scholar Liu Letu said in his book "Genghis Khan": "Genghis Khan is a war wizard who is difficult for future generations to match. His miraculous ability to fight and win battles against the enemy has exhausted mankind's military talent to the extreme." His iron cavalry was like a bamboo, and the smoke of gunpowder swept into Russia, Afghanistan and northern India. In the vast Eurasian continent, Genghis Khan has become an invincible god, and his opponents are all terrified and surrendered to their feet". "Who can be called the god of war?

In the minds of the Mongols, Genghis Khan was no longer just a leader who could conquer and fight, he was also their spiritual leader and national faith, he was a god in their hearts. It's their ancestors and history that they'll always be proud of. This people on horseback accomplished the greatest success in history under the leadership of Genghis Khan.

Genghis Khan's greatness lies not only in his ability to conquer and fight, but also in his ambition, as he built his empire while conquest, and the establishment of various state institutions and the use of the Mongolian script are the crystallization of his wisdom.

When he was a child, Shandan, who grew up on the Mongolian plateau, saw that the Mongolian children's writing was completely different from the Chinese characters they rested on. So he went back and asked his father, "Why does Tara write differently than ours?"

My father replied: "Mongolian characters are different from Chinese characters, our Chinese characters are thousands of years old ancestors from painting slowly evolved and improved, so you see that today's Chinese characters are neat and tidy, it turns out that the sheep is the appearance of the sheep, the horse is the appearance of the horse, the cow is the appearance of the cow, you can find that the original Chinese characters are connected by paintings." For example, the ancient character of the cow:

;Sheep:. Tie Dan Da said as he gestured. He didn't know it was called Oracle, he only knew that he had read something similar in an ancient book. So he combined his own understanding and explained it to Shandan.

It is said that Genghis Khan ordered his ministers to create a zào script for him to use within a month, and his ministers were so worried that they were going to hang themselves, and the month was coming soon, and the ministers who were sad and holding hemp rope and were ready to find a crooked neck poplar tree to hang themselves saw a cow walking by, and the urine stains that were spilled by Lala Lala, so he planned to start from his heart, and drew the way of the cow's urine and urine to fool Genghis Khan, and first save his head. ”

Shandan was so fascinated that he couldn't see that his father knew so much?"What happened later? Was the minister killed?" Shandan was worried about the minister's life, not Mongolian.

"Of course he wasn't killed, Genghis Khan believed it, so he ordered him to continue to create more words, and then the minister followed the cow every day, and there is the current Mongolian character?

"Oh, yes, their words are long, thin, branched, and circled. Oh, it turned out to be cow pee. Shandan suddenly realized.

As everyone knows, when such a legend was brought to the class by Shandan as a great invention, it caused a lot of turmoil among the classmates, and the Mongolian children said that Shandan despised their writing, belittled their culture, and reported it to the teacher, who also asked Shandan to apologize to the Mongolian children in front of the whole class in order to calm the situation. This brought Shandan's worship of his father to a freezing point, and what his father told turned out to be a deceptive legend.

In fact, it is not impossible to say that the Mongolian language originated from cow pee, and the ancestors of every ethnic group got inspiration from life to create their own culture, and the structure and form of Mongolian may be cow pee.

But that's Shandan's own analysis when he grows up.

The glorious history of the Mongols is a source of national pride, and their wisdom is also a resource endowed by the heavens. After the Second World War, the Mongols were divided into Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia, but their blood ties were still intimately connected in the steppe, which was divided but not different.

It's just that Outer Mongolia's resources are not rich enough, and its economy is naturally far from Inner Mongolia. The economic development of Inner Mongolia is a rapid progress, Outer Mongolia is still in a primitive society, the Inner Mongolian people who come back from visiting relatives in Outer Mongolia are full of sadness, but the development of the whole country cannot keep up, although there is the support and support of Inner Mongolia, after all, they still have to rely on their own walking.

Further along there are mirages, grassland style and other works, each of which is majestic, after a long time, the children began to ask to go back to sandboarding and playing, so the camel team turned back and walked towards the entrance.
