Chapter 12: The Prairie
For the Hulunbuir grassland, I still have some understanding, Hulunbuir grassland generally refers to the Hulunbuir grassland located in the west of Hulunbuir City, is the most well-preserved grassland in China, the water and grass are abundant, and it is known as the "pasture kingdom". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoHulunbuir Grassland is located in the west of the Daxing'an Mountains in Hulunbuir City, named after Hulun Lake and Bear Lake. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, with an altitude of between 650 and 750 meters.
But what is drawn on this map, the place we are going to is to think about the location of a lake, that is, Hulun Lake, and we don't know why this Yuan Kangding Emperor chose to be buried there, and there seems to be nothing wrong with my grandfather's diary, so we have to go.
We first went to the grassland, every summer, the grassland birds and flowers, the air is fresh; Wisps of smoke rise from the dotted yurts; The breeze blows, the grass flutters, and everywhere "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep"; Under the blue sky and white clouds, the endless grassland, herds of cattle and sheep, galloping horses and herdsmen waving their whips and galloping horses can be seen.
Hulunbuir grassland is the most abundant and beautiful pasture in China, because there is almost no pollution, so there is "the purest grassland" said, it seems that it is indeed true, here is indeed a paradise on earth! I also sighed so deliberately that Abdu was already glancing at me.
In fact, the grassland is also a beginning of the development of civilization, and the grassland culture is one of the important sources of power for the development of Chinese culture. Chinese culture has a long history and has been flourishing for a long time, which is extremely rare among the ancient civilizations in the world. One of the reasons for this unique and great phenomenon of cultural development lies in its internal construction of pluralism and unity.
And in this inner construction, the steppe nomads have promoted new historical changes and development again and again. In the history of China, the northern grassland peoples always had a tendency to integrate and develop to the south, and the widespread corruption and weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty to the end of the period also prompted the grassland peoples to go south again and again, injecting fresh blood into the development of the Chinese nation and Chinese culture again and again. As Chen Yinke said, the northern Hu culture "injected into the decadent body of the Central Plains culture, the old dyeing was removed, the new machine was restarted, and the expansion was restored, so that it could create an unprecedented situation."
From the perspective of cultural development, along with the armed conquest of the Central Plains by the northern grassland peoples, it is the integration of the grassland peoples and the Central Plains peoples, as well as the convergence and innovation of the grassland culture and the inland culture of the Central Plains. Every time this large-scale integration and convergence is carried out, the pluralism and inclusiveness of the Chinese nation and Chinese culture will be strengthened, and the centripetal force and cohesion generated by Chinese culture will be further enhanced. It is precisely this kind of large-scale integration, convergence and innovation that has accelerated the formation of a pluralistic and integrated pattern of the Chinese nation and Chinese culture.
There are grasslands with abundant water and grass, forests and seas in the Great Khing'an Mountains with turbulent pine waves, criss-crossing rivers, and lakes dotted around. Known as the "most beautiful grassland in the world", it is one of the birthplaces of ethnic minorities and nomads in northern China. It also explains why Genghis Khan opened up the territory from here.
And there are many beautiful legends in the Hulunbuir Prairie, people are very yearning for the Hulunbuir Prairie, imagining the green grass here, the white clouds, the clear blue sky, as well as the galloping horses and herds of cattle and sheep...... But do you know the origin of Hulunbuir's name? The name of Hulunbuir grassland comes from a poignant love legend.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl named Hulun wandering on the grassland. A hundred kinds of flowers all bow their heads shyly; Bell, a handsome Mongolian boy, rode on a tall horse, and all the horses volunteered to gallop with him. The two young men fell in love, and the white spirit bird sang a song of blessing. The snow-white sheep brought the most beautiful flowers and piled them up outside their tents. It was also an evening when the sky was blue and the rainbow was set up after the rain, and the unusually sudden disaster destroyed the tranquility of the grassland, and the demon Manggus sucked the water of the grassland with a cruel smile and snatched the Hulun girl from the white yurt.
Later, the grasslands withered and yellowed, and herds of cattle and sheep fell to the ground and died. In order to save the grassland and the beloved girl, Bell grabbed his bow and arrows, stepped on the red horse, and rushed into the withered grassland. Running day and night to find Manggus, he finally fell off the horse due to exhaustion, and in the middle of a dream, he saw the figure of Hulun, who had been tormented by the devil, and she turned into a thin "Ah Ri stunned" flower, and was dying in front of her under the wind and sun.
Bell woke up suddenly, watered the "Arilen" flower with the only little water in her skin, Hulun was resurrected, and she hugged Bell tightly. Manggus reappeared and took Hulun again. The grassland was swallowed up by sand and rocks, and a fire burned in the sky. Bell remembered the bow that Abba had passed to him, and released the only three arrows into the sky. Suddenly it rained heavily. The grassland recovered, the herd of cows, horses and sheep stood up again, and the demon took Hulun, who was tied behind him, and killed him again, trying to kill Bell and destroy everything. Quickly snatched the green orb from Manggus's head and swallowed it in one gulp. In an instant, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the wind blew fiercely, and Hulun fell to the ground and turned into a mighty lake.
Bell slays the demon, but the beautiful Hulun girl is no longer seen by the lake. Bell was so grief-stricken that he habitually broke the bow. I heard a loud bang, the grassland collapsed, and Bell turned into a clear lake. In this way, a pair of lovers dedicated their fiery love to all things in the grassland and turned them into two clear lakes in Hulun and Bell. The grassland has love, and secretly cracks open a Wuersun River, connecting the two young hearts. The grassland is prosperous, and the people on the grassland name this grassland Hulunbuir Grassland in order to thank and commemorate Hulun and Bell.
In the face of nature and many natural phenomena, people have always had a sense of awe. The unique imagination of the northern nomads weaved this myth and legend, apparently out of their abhorrence of sandstorms and the desire for the abundance of water and grass. It's a primitive and naïve environmental awareness. In fact, whether it is Hulun or Bell, or the wind demon sand demon Manggusi, they are all a kind of symbol, like the "musical notes" on the staff, what is played is the movement of man and nature, and this movement has been the main theme of Hulunbuir since ancient times.
Of course, these legends are enough to explain the magic and beauty of the Hulunbuir grassland, but the place we want to go must pass through the grassland and go to Hulun Lake, but when we think that this is a place that can be traveled later, we can't help but worry a little about whether it will be discovered by anyone, and this action has slowed down.
However, the location has been determined on the map, and the master's insistence prompts us to do everything.
