Chapter Seventy-Nine: Changing Customs

Yang Jin is indeed beautiful. This made his husband Su Hong seem a little unworthy of her.

The marriage of the two is a marriage certificate issued by Liu Manqing in person. However, Liu Manqing still can't let go of the short marriage before. Although her husband is now with his sister Liu Manyun, he is said to be living well in Singapore.

Liu Manqing and Yang Jin laughed happily in front of Yang Jin Aobao.

Stone-stacking customs such as Ao Bao and Mani stone piles are now mixed up. Even in the south, Zhang Chun had seen such markers piled up on stones with handwriting. Yang Jin Ao Bao is that after Yang Jin and Su Hong used stones engraved with the names of two people side by side, they led to the later marriage of young people will carve two stones and put them here. In two years, a huge Ao Bao was formed.

In the middle of the Yangjin Ao Bao is a huge acacia tree. This is also the reason why Yangjin Ao Bao is famous far and wide.

Ethnic integration is not so simple, and the government encourages freedom to marry, but there are still obstacles from family and tradition. Now Yangjin Aobao is like a god of love, and has become a holy place for young people to unite between different ethnic groups.

Of course, it is not so easy to get to Yangjin Aobao, it is located on the top of the high mountain, this acacia tree is actually a Himalayan yew, the only big tree in the alpine meadows. No one really knows how long it has lived here.

The acacia tree is the name of later people, and it is not the same species as the acacia tree in the south.

When Zhang Chun arrived, there were more than a dozen young couples married in Yangjin Aobao, most of whom were Han Chinese. Liu Manqing is known as a saint in Tibet, because the 13th Dalai Lama and the 9th Panchen Lama have praised her. Touch the top and pray for blessings. Many old Tibetans believe that the current happy life is brought by Liu Manqing, and her deeds of trekking through mountains and rivers into Tibet have been compiled into songs and sung among the people.

And Liu Manqing insists on the freedom of marriage and insists on being a witness for young people. It also gives her a good reputation among young people.

Liu Manqing recognized Zhang Chun. But Zhang Chun motioned for her to keep quiet. After all, the current Zhang Chun and his wife look much younger than Liu Manqing.

Yang Jin is now Liu Manqing's assistant, and the grassland has become a natural wedding hall.

Su Hong is the caretaker of the pastures and forests here

These young people are blessed by the people.

Interestingly, people's etiquette is now unclear from the influence of that ethnic group, and in addition to shaking hands, they generally bend slightly like the Japanese. When they rode on their horses, they obviously carried the boldness of the northern peoples, and the bow salute also existed. If it's a military man. There is also a raise of hand.

But no matter how much etiquette there is, it is always clean and neat, and it is never muddy. Again, this is different from the old customs and the Japanese.

Almost all the people who were able to get to the Yang Jin Ao Bao were wearing very close-fitting garments that evolved from hangers. And most of them are wearing hangers. Because it is a wedding dress, these outfits have been modified and slightly changed, and they are very beautiful, showing a young and proud figure.

These young people are much more generous than Zhang Chunli. Zhang Chun and Lizhi put a white coat on their armored coats. Cover up the figure.

"Look at what, the figure is good." Lizhi grinned at Zhang Chun.

Zhang Chun could only laugh awkwardly.

"Manqing, you still have to go back to Sichuan, or you will go to Hubei to recuperate for a while." Li Zhen said to Liu Manqing. Because Liu Manqing looks healthy on the surface, but in fact, there are many physical problems, and there are also heart problems.

"I'm fine, it's happier than anything else to see these young people come together so happily every day." Liu Manqing looked at the young man who was riding a horse and left.

Liu Manqing's entry into the forest needs to be protected. So there's also an all-women's guard squad. She has settled in Yang Jin Ao Bao and has become neighbors with Yang Jin's family. She doesn't care about her body. I just want to do what I want to do.

"I don't go up and down the mountain very often, and my body can't stand it anymore. If I can die here, it's also a good place to be. ”

Lizhi sighed and said, "What do you say, it's right to go up and down the mountain less, and the body needs to be nourished." ”

Liu Manqing smiled: "Also, I went to worship the tree god yesterday, hoping it can bless me." I also planted a tree of life. ”

Worshipping the tree god and planting the tree of life is actually a custom of the Miao people. Later, it also spread among the Han people, but it was simplified, and there was no blowing of reeds and no dancing. The Han people generally burn incense and meditate, and the relationship with the trees is equal and shared, without the reverence of the Miao people.

From Tibet to Qinghai, many villages prefer to use wooden structures and bluestone pavement, the biggest benefit of which is the ventilation of the houses and the collection and use of rainwater.

Most villages are built around the lowest digesters and sewage treatment plants to maximize water utilization. Trees are planted in these courtyards, and family activities revolve around trees and water. Some of the wooden buildings are three or four storeys high, forming courtyard houses that collect rainwater into patios. Patios usually have cellars or wells, and the excess water flows down the ditch to the lower digesters.

The wood carvings of houses in Tibet and the Tibetan style of fired eaves tiles are still stronger, but they are also mixed with the ornaments of other ethnic groups. However, the overall layout is in the style of Han-style courtyard houses and quasi-courtyard houses.

With the abundance of species in Tibet, trees grow very fast at low altitudes, and forest areas are spreading rapidly. It's no longer as desolate as it used to be. The vast majority of residential areas are surrounded by trees, so there is less need for sand release.

Even the temperature changes softly due to the mediation of the forest. Some of the higher meadows are also enriched with vegetation, and in October there are green leaves and flowers between the gaps in the snow.

Liu Manqing said with a smile: "There has been a lot of snowfall in recent years, and the climate is no longer so dry, mainly due to vegetation restoration. ”

"With such a thick snowfall, does it have any impact on herders and ordinary people?" Zhang Chun asked.

"The impact is still there, but it's better than no snow. The snow is still not piling up, and the ground temperature is still high. After a while, the snow will pile up. Snow is also a form of protection for trees and vegetation, and trees in the past are actually more susceptible to frostbite. Trees covered with snow do not. ”

It was Liu Manqing's guards who answered.

The place where Liu Manqing is located is only more than 3,000 meters above sea level, so the water vapor flux is sufficient, and the snow presents a state of snowflakes and clusters of snow. The guards replied with a trend. Although the snowfall in higher places increases, it is still in a state of ice crystals because of the insufficient water vapor flux, and the snow is much less protective of vegetation.

Because Liu Manqing and her guards are not environmental majors, they don't know very well, so Zhang Chun doesn't ask anymore.

Environmental restoration is not something that can be done in a few years, and most of the trees lining the transportation system are just over a person's height. The ability to mediate the environment is still very poor. Liu Manqing's area used to have primeval forests and had a good foundation, and after artificial management, dead and dead trees in the forest were cut down, and the actual abundance of vegetation increased, which led to the improvement of the local environment.

The Ministry of Agriculture has introduced lower bryophytes and ferns as pioneer species, and the introduction of herbaceous and woody plants is no longer as widespread as before, but gradually expanding outward from where conditions permit. Herbaceous and woody plants are introduced only when these bryophytes and ferns have formed enough microenvironment, which is slow but ensures a success rate.

In addition to the introduction of mosses and ferns, the introduction of mosses and ferns is also associated with the biomes of mosses and ferns, which are more important than the mosses and ferns themselves, as only these biomes can decompose nutrients in the soil and even rocks and provide sufficient temperature and moisture for the active layer of the soil. The two are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.

The Ministry of Land and Resources believes that only these basic species are recovered, and as animals migrate, the recovery of advanced species may be more reasonable and rapid than artificial forced recovery.

The Lancang River is upward. Arrived at Tanggula Mountain. The situation is not so rosy. The altitude of 4,000 to 5,000 meters is the alpine meadow zone; From 5,000 meters to the snow line, it is a sparse vegetation zone at the edge of the alpine ice edge, and the main plants are cushion-shaped prunus prunus, mossy flea, windy chrysanthemum, edelweiss, coria grass and newly introduced tundra vegetation. At the top, there is a permanent snow and ice zone in the high mountains. The west of Tanggula is 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level, because the rain is less, and it is an alpine grassland.

Crops are dominated by barley, wheat and peas. However, due to the transportation system, the food here is very abundant, and there is no shortage of seafood in it compared to other places. In the past, Tibetans did not eat fish. But due to demographic changes, seafood has become a staple food. It can be said that it is precisely because of the development of the marine fishing industry that the demand for food of Chinese has been alleviated. On the basis of the fact that the farmland was not expanded, the people of the country were fed.

If it were not for these products, the manufacture of the high-altitude areas of Tibet would have been absolutely impossible to feed itself in the face of an increased population. (To be continued......)
