Arou said - I want to go home
My home is in the grassland, and the vast prairie is the place I worry about the most when I dream back at midnight.
The grassland is a beautiful picture in my heart, an ancient Inner Mongolian long tune. When I stepped into this picture in person, I was deeply shocked by its magnificence, no matter how I lived for ten or twenty years, the grassland has always occupied the highest position in my heart, every time I think of it, I am even inexplicably moved.
You can't imagine the vastness and profundity between heaven and earth; I can't imagine the heroism and freedom of "under the sky, riding horses and whips"; I can't imagine that pure green and blue......
The winter moon is the most beautiful time in the grassland, the sun is still scorching during the day, but there is already a feeling of early autumn in the morning and evening. Early in the morning, my sister and I sat in an ox cart and followed, leading the people to move together.
In the grasslands, where the wind and snow are strong and the climate is harsh, when the breath of winter comes, the herders who live here are self-sufficient.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, enjoy the blessings of nature and blend in with the grasslands on the horizon.
The moving car is called a Lele car.
Returning to the memory of the ancient grassland, this ancient inheritance is not an accidental whim, but a custom passed down from generation to generation by the people on the grassland.
As one of the representatives of Hu culture, Leleche occupies a very important position in the history of the development of the Hu people. Lele car, also known as "Harqin car" and "ox cart", is a traditional means of transportation used by the Hu people. It is mainly used for pulling water, pulling cow dung, walking, moving, transporting fuel, weddings and funerals, and participating in the "Naadam" conference. It is characterized by a small body, simple structure, easy to use, suitable for grass and snow operation, and the car is often pulled by oxen. In the north, due to the uncertain migration, the nomads have long had the custom of making cars and using cars, frequent relocation, the herdsman's house is not much, some things are usually packed in the suitcase, the suitcase is placed on the car, usually do not unload, it is the storehouse of the home, the warehouse, this Lele car can be described as a "private car".
The people of the steppe do not have too much desire. Hopefully, life is simpler and the pace is extremely slow. This kind of moving is less like a long journey and more like a tour.
I was blown away by the wonder and greatness of nature. There is an endless sky, an endless earth, an endless snow, no rows of buildings, no horse-drawn carriages, no people, and the air is exceptionally fresh, as if the whole world is quiet, without a little noise.
The sheep were grazing in the mist, looming and not very clear. The eagle stood still on the telephone pole, staring motionlessly into the distance, thoughtful. Standing on the grassland, I couldn't help but breathe deeply, and a faint scent of grass was refreshing. Stretching out my hands, the white clouds slipped through my fingers, a cool, wet feeling. Lying down, the grass is more like a green carpet embroidered with small flowers everywhere, thick and comfortable. This lie feels like I'm on a round green ball, with no edges around, and I'm right in the middle of it. A cow walked in front of me, as if it wasn't afraid of me. So much so that I couldn't tell the white clouds in the sky and the "white clouds" pattern on the cow in front of me, as if they were the same. Everything was like a dream.
At noon, the sun hung high overhead, the white clouds drifted away, and the sky became translucent and extremely hot. We passed through no man's land, the grassland was as flat as ever, white as ever, with occasional small hills and a few neat small trees, and the dry branches went straight to the sky, as if fighting with the sky and the earth.
Even a tree has such a spirit, it is worthy of being a tree on the grassland.
The savannah is located on the border of the feudal state and is part of the Yanan paddock. It is a hilly grassland, not endless, but undulating, winding. In summer, the grass is colorful in color, ranging from dark green, turquoise, pale green, and golden. The meadow is full of flowers and colors. The famous, the nameless, the thousands of postures, thousands of purples and thousands of reds, weave a piece of colorful carpet on the Dadianzi and the hillside, against the background of the blue sky and white clouds, like a beautiful picture.
The birch forest on the grassland is a beautiful scenery on the grassland. In the distance, a large area of birch trees is impermeable to the wind, and near it is sparse, one here, three there, it is really beautiful. In this vast grassland, horses, cows, and sheep can be seen everywhere, leisurely grazing, resting, and walking. It's really "the sky is like a dome, covering the four wildernesses." The sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep".
But you can't see it in winter, when the grasslands are covered with white snow.
Surrounded by a dozen identical Mongols, the exterior walls are all made of white bricks, and there is an eye-catching red wooden door, and the yurt is pulled on the Lele cart, slowly moving, looking for the next place to rest.
The people on the grassland are very simple, there is no intrigue in the palace, everyone treats others sincerely, and the father is not as big as the emperor, and the father is the best father.
In the afternoon, I rode as I wished. My father said I was too young to let me ride, but I was ten years old, so I wasn't a child.
I chose a tall black horse, with shiny fur and slender limbs, but it was imposing. I rode bravely on horseback, and he stopped grazing, flicked me by tail, and turned to look at me, as if to say, "Man, I don't want to carry you, you're tired." I said, "Hmph, I'm going to let you run!"
"Drive!" As soon as I gave the order, the horse began to gallop away, and I screamed in fright. My sister put her arms around me from behind and comforted, "Don't be afraid, when you bark, the horse will be frightened, and if it is frightened, it will run faster." ”
I nervously clutched the reins, and it wasn't long before I was afraid. Horseback riding is much more fun than riding a car!
In the evening, the sun slowly retracts its warm and dazzling light and sets towards the horizon. I had chased the sheep and mounted my brown steed, and the orange glow shone on us, and even my smile was bright. The endless grassland is also overshadowed
There is not only grass in the steppe, but also a lot of sand dunes. My sister and I dragged a skateboard up the sand slope with difficulty, this game is called sandboarding, and in winter it is called skiing. It was one of my sister's and me's favorite games.
I climbed to the top of the hill with my hands and feet, Uncle helped me to sit on the skateboard, I sat on the skateboard, and when I was ready, Uncle pushed hard, and I said "Ah", I had quickly slid from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, and my heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the mountain all of a sudden, it was so fun and exciting.
The road below is not bumpy, but there are stones hidden in the snow, cold touch, I am almost shaken away, all the way "bang" down, almost overturned me, but I firmly grasped the wall, leaning back, only to let myself slide smoothly to the foot of the slope, we laughed and played, more than ten times in one breath.
In this fairyland-like grassland, we played all kinds of games like crazy, kicking ball, tug-of-war, skipping rope, archery, darts, grass skiing, sandboarding...... The soft snow is our children's favorite.
In the evening we eat whole lamb, half boiled and half made lamb skewers. Some of us cut mutton, some washed vegetables, and some gathered firewood, and we were very busy. I picked up a few dried branches and then went to help skewer the lamb skewers, and when I skewered them, I had to skewer a piece of lean meat and a piece of fat at intervals, and I heard that this combination tastes the best. Sure enough, the grilled lamb kebabs were better than anything I've had before. I ate a lot of skewers in one go.
The Hu tradition is not only the source of water and the hometown of clouds, but also the ocean of joy.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, the vastness is boundless, the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
The grassland people are very kind and hospitable, and when they encounter a pig, they invite the whole village to eat the pig-killing dish, even if the guests they just know don't eat.
Today's move is also the annual atamu convention of the Hu people, which is held to celebrate finding a new home.
At this time, we all gathered together, and there were so many people that it could reach more than 100,000 people, and the Atamu conference would take at least three to five days.
At this time, we will change into the most formal clothes and see the banquet.
Unlike the light gauze dresses of the capital, the Hu costumes include robes, belts, boots, jewelry, etc.
Taking women's robes as an example, we mostly wear wide, straight-to-heel robes, with slits on both sides, and the neckline and cuffs are mostly trimmed with various colors; There are also Mongolian robes with fat and narrow sleeves and no slits trimmed; Women wore tunics with corseted shoulders and three robes, the first of which was a bodicoat with sleeves that reached to the wrist, the second a tunic with elbow-length sleeves, and the third a collarless placket with straight flashing buttons.
Jacket robes are worn in spring and autumn, single robes in summer, and cotton or leather robes in winter. The Hu people usually like to wear cloth clothes, and generally wear brocade trimmed silk clothes during festivals or celebrations. Men's clothing is mostly blue and brown, and women's clothing likes to use red, pink, green, and sky blue.
The belt is an important part of the Mongolian costume and is made of satin or cotton cloth three or four meters long. Men's belts are often hung with knives, fire sickles, snuff boxes and other ornaments. Hu boots are divided into two kinds: leather boots and cloth boots, Mongolian boots are finely made, and there are exquisite patterns on the upper of the boots.
Wearing jewelry and hats is a custom of the Hu people. The top of the hat is high and flat, the lining is made of white felt, and the outer edge is decorated with leather or dyed purple green as a decoration, thick in winter and thin in summer. The crown of the hat is decorated with tassels, and the hat strap is silk, which can be worn by both men and women.
Generally, men wear shawl hats and women wear turned-brim pointed hats. Precious raw materials such as agate, jadeite, coral, pearls, and silver make Mongolian jewelry rich and luxurious. The men's color is mostly blue, black and brown, and some are wrapped in silk. Women often wear red and blue headscarves around their heads, and in winter they wear conical hats like men.
The father led the people to gather on the grassland and announced the beginning of the feast.
After eating, that's what I'm looking forward to the most.
Some of the strongest members of the clan would wrestle, race horses, and shoot arrows. These three competitions are the three competitions that the Hu people attach the most importance to. The wrestling of the Hu nationality has a unique national style, and when wrestling matches, we also have fixed costumes, which are based on the elimination system to determine the champion, runner-up, and third place, and award honorary titles and prizes respectively.
There are two kinds of horse racing: fast horse racing and walking horse racing, and archery is a very old sport of the Mongolian people, and there are also two types: mounted archery and foot archery.
Our competition is also very fair, no matter which ethnic and religious beliefs, you can sign up for the competition, the number of places is not limited, you can participate if you want to participate, but if you want to participate in the competition, you must first memorize the rules, the Hu competition also has rules, if you foul, you will be eliminated.
On the day I left the grassland, only a few relatives came to see my sister and me off.
Because it was a purposeful to go undercover in the capital, in order to prevent the hidden prosecutors in the capital, we couldn't make a big deal about it, but just told the clansmen that the two princesses were going to go out for a trip.
We sat on the familiar ox cart and watched the home we had grown up in for more than ten years fade away, and my father and mother stood by the largest yurt to see us off.
We can't even cry because playing is not a reason to be sad.
Leave the house and come to a place where cattle are often grazing.
The cattle and sheep are denser, and several herdsmen can be seen every other way. The dense flock of sheep looks still from a distance, as if enjoying the sun.
I caressed the warm flock around me and said goodbye to them in my heart.
Suddenly, there was a burst of singing, and I turned my head to look.
A group of people held hands and formed a circle to shout cheers and sing songs about the grassland. Everyone had a rustic smile on their faces. The singing spread far and wide, and it was a joyous scene.
There were two strong men in the circle, who were in a wrestling match, and I saw them hook and pounce hard, and one of them fell, and the two strong men were flushed and used all their skills. When a group of herdsmen dressed in Hu clothes saw us, they warmly invited us, but we smiled and declined.
When the song is gone, so will we.
After leaving the grassland, there is always a faint longing.
I miss the thick human touch of the grassland people.
These are the best pillars that I dream back to every midnight.
