Chapter 282 Xianghai, a wetland oasis in the desert

The exercises have been carried out to this stage, and all that remains is to wait for rail transportation. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since each regiment had to use at least two to three columns to transport personnel and equipment.

Therefore, it will take six or seven days for the whole division to complete the transportation by rail.

The railway transportation of the 447 regiment was scheduled for the penultimate day.

As a result, during this period, the troops had to carry out a summary of the exercise work every day, from bottom to top, first individuals, then companies, battalions, and teams.

On the one hand, the work of the exercise was summed up, and on the other hand, the weapons and equipment participating in the exercise were carefully inspected and maintained, and maintenance was carried out in accordance with the five major standards of "cleanliness and integrity, thorough lubrication, correct adjustment, sturdiness and appropriateness, and no faults."

Yang Wenbin first used two days to complete the summary and evaluation materials of the cadre work.

It is mainly based on the accumulation of ordinary inspections, coupled with the information learned from the exchanges between the political instructors of the various battalions, and it is enough to put them together, knead them together in different categories, and string them together.

The rest of the time began to do nothing, and he decided to wander around.

Yang Wenbin is no stranger to life on the grassland.

Although his hometown lives in a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral area, Yang Wenbin spent four months in the pastoral area when he was a student at the National Secondary Normal School.

It was the best memory of his life.

The place of language practice is in the southern part of the Autonomous Okrug, in the sea of sand, on the border of the steppe and the desert.

The geographical conditions there are not much different from those of the current exercises.

Every household has herds of cattle and sheep.

When you go out, you have to ride a horse or drive a carriage.

Every day, I eat fried rice mixed with milk. During the August Festival, you can also eat calf soup.

Each house is an adobe house, without a courtyard wall, and a cane made of tree branches separates its vegetable garden from the outside world.

In particular, at the Naadam Congress every summer, archery, horseback riding, and wrestling competitions can be held.

How comfortable and beautiful that life is.

It is the same land of Horqin Grassland, is the life of the farmers here the same as there?

This morning, after breakfast, Yang Wenbin walked out of the camp and walked south to explore the mysterious distance.

The grassland in early autumn is extraordinarily quiet.

He followed the forest belt all the way south, and walked out about two or three kilometers away.

He found that the scenery here was completely different from the camp.

The camp is hidden in a windbreak belt of poplar forests.

The poplar tree is about ten meters high.

Outside the forest belt, hundreds of acres of sunflowers are planted.

The sunflowers all over the ground, with yellow flowers, look particularly gorgeous in the sunlight.

In particular, it is a patch of sunflowers, yellow and bright, and the people who are shaking are dazzled.

Two or three kilometers away, the grassland turned into a wetland.

At this time, the eyes suddenly opened up.

In front, there is a clear water.

In the middle of the clear water, there is a small island.

The island is small in size, but it is inhabited by some beautiful waterbirds, such as red-crowned cranes, and many other waterbirds that he cannot name.

This was the hometown of the red-crowned crane.

Red-crowned cranes, as well as Yang Wenbin's unnamed cranes, frolicked in the water and chirped happily.

It's really "a crane in the clear sky and a row of clouds, it will lead poetry to the blue sky"!

Unexpectedly, in the vast sea of sand, there is such a beautiful scenery.

The sun-drenched water is sparkling and reflects the reflection of the sun.

Yang Wenbin walked for a while and found that there was a big stone standing by the water, with two big red characters "Crane Island" written on it.

As he continued to walk forward, he admired the scene of various waterfowl perching and playing in the water.

Forward, about 500 meters later, I turned a mountain bag, and in front of me, a temple appeared.

Three big characters written on the temple door, "Xianghai Temple".

The main gate, on both sides, is written with the Buddhist scripture "Nan no Amitabha".

Yang Wenbin walked into the temple.

A stone monument has been erected in the temple to tell the history of Xianghai Temple.

What is written above is that Xianghai Temple turned out to be the territory of the Mongolian nobles who led the troops led by the son of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty and guarded here.

Emperor Qianlong once wrote the inscription "Flying Cranes Dance, The Wizard of Oz." Fuxing Holy Land, Rui Drum Bell".

After more than 300 years, the incense is still flourishing.

By the middle and late Qing Dynasty. The scale of Xianghai Temple is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more believers nearby.

By the mid-sixties of the last century, the scale of Xianghai Temple was much larger than the current scale.

However, due to the ultra-left period of the Cultural Revolution, under the influence of the four olds, the Red Guards at that time smashed and looted the Xianghai Temple, and the Xianghai Temple was reduced to ashes.

The current temple was rebuilt on the original site after the reform and opening up.

Yang Wenbin walked in.

There are three mountain gates of Xianghai Temple, which symbolize the "three liberation gates", that is, the empty door, the non-phase gate, and the non-making door.

He entered through the empty door.

To the left and right of the mountain gate are the bell tower and the drum tower.

To the east is the bell tower, and to the west is the drum tower.

Under the bell tower or enshrine Jizo Bodhisattva, under the drum tower enshrines Garan Bodhisattva.

Then, there is the Hall of the Heavenly King.

In the middle of the Tianwang Palace, there is a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha sitting in the north and facing the south.

The shrine behind the Maitreya Buddha is dedicated to the statue of Wei Dao Bodhisattva.

The statues of the four heavenly kings are divided on the east and west sides, and they are in charge of the wind and rain.

Further inside the Tianwang Palace, is the Daxiong Treasure Palace, commonly known as the "Great Hall", which is the main hall and the main hall of the temple.

"Nobita" is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit word Raft Namana, which is the honorific title of the Buddha's Buddha Shakti Muni, referring to the Buddha's great strength and ability to subdue the four demons such as "Five Yin Demons", "Troubled Demons", "Death Demons" and "Son of Heaven Demons".

Yang Wenbin heard that there are three common postures to worship Shakyamuni Buddha:

The first type is called "Enlightenment Image", which sits on the knees, crosses the legs, puts the feet on the opposite thighs, the center of the feet is upward, and the left hand is placed horizontally on the left foot, which is called "Dingyin", which means meditation; His right hand is stretched out and lowered, and it is called "touching the earth", which means that before Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, he sacrificed himself for the sake of all sentient beings, all of which can only be proved by the earth.

The second type is the "Dharma Image", which sits on the knees, with the left hand placed horizontally on the left foot, and the right hand bends its fingers upwards to make a ring, which is called the "Dharma Seal".

The third is a standing statue with the left hand hanging down, and the name is "Wishing Seal", which means that it can fulfill the wishes of sentient beings; The right hand bends its arm and stretches it out, and the name is "Shi Fearless Seal", which means that it can relieve the suffering of sentient beings.

The Shakyamuni Buddha enshrined in Xianghai Temple is this kind of "enlightenment image", sitting on his knees, his legs crossed, his feet on opposite thighs, and his feet facing upwards.

After that, there is the scripture building.

I heard that there are a large number of Buddhist scriptures hidden in the scripture building, but it is not open to the public.

To the left and right of the scripture building is the abbot's room, and there are also warehouses, kitchens, guest rooms, bathrooms, etc.

"It's really good to have such a temple in this desolate and bitter cold place.

Back then, the construction of such a place was also to give the hearts of the soldiers on the border a sustenance. Yang Wenbin thought while visiting.
