The Himalayas are famous all over the world because of Mount Everest.

Du Lengqiu often saw that a certain team climbed Mount Everest, and a certain country climbed Mount Everest. It's like climbing Mount Everest is like climbing the pinnacle of life.

As an individual, Du Lengqiu feels that this is a morbid pursuit. But for the country, he can understand a thing or two, especially in China, which has been bullied in modern times and has fallen to the bottom of national self-confidence, and needs to climb Mount Everest to prove that he is not weak and others.

However, Du Lengqiu's understanding of Mount Everest and Mount Everest only has two words - the highest.

Other than that, he didn't know anything about them.

But in Tibet, there are countless stories circulating.

This may be due to the fact that Tibetans live in a more difficult situation, and their stories are full of emotions and must have happy endings, and this story is no exception.

According to Tibetan elders, a long, long time ago, it was an endless sea, with waves crashing against the shores of pines, hemlocks and palms.

The forest is covered with strange flowers and plants, herds of spotted deer and antelopes are running, herds of rhinoceros are waddled and leisurely drinking by the lake, cuckoos, thrushes and larks are jumping up and down the treetops and singing beautiful songs, and rabbits are running carefree on the tender green and lush meadows.

One day, a huge five-headed poisonous dragon suddenly came to the sea, and made a mess of the forest, stirring up thousands of waves, destroying flowers and trees. The birds and animals living here all have a premonition that disaster is coming.

They leap to the east, and the forests and meadows fall to the east, and they rush to the west, and the west is so wild that no one can breathe.

Just when the birds and beasts were cornered, suddenly, five colorful clouds floated in the sky above the sea, turning into the five wise sky mothers.

They came to the seashore and unleashed their boundless magic power to subdue the five poisonous dragons. The demons have been conquered, the sea is calm, and the deer, antelope, monkeys, rabbits, and birds that live here worship the fairies and thank them for saving their lives.

The empty people wanted to say goodbye and return to Heaven, but the sentient beings begged bitterly, asking them to stay here for the benefit of sentient beings. So the five fairies showed compassion and agreed to stay and share the peaceful day with all sentient beings.

The five fairies drank the water of the sea.

As a result, the east is a dense forest, the west is a thousand acres of fertile land, the south is a garden full of flowers and plants, and the north is an endless pasture.

The five fairies have become the five main peaks of the Himalayas, namely: Xiangshou Fairy Peak, Cuiyan Fairy Peak, Zhenhui Fairy Peak, Guanyong Fairy Peak, Shiren Fairy Peak, standing on the edge of the southwest, guarding this happy paradise;

This story is a Buddhist story, and in fact, it is very likely that there was such a story in the first place. When Tibetan Buddhism came here from Asan, they tried to tell Tibetan legends and Buddhist stories in a way that expanded the influence of Buddhism. In fact, monks are not less engaged in this kind of thing.

What are the facts?

For billions of years, surface lithospheric plates have been dividing and merging, agglomerging and dispersing. And each time they converge, they are accompanied by the relative uplift of linear mountains on land.

As a result, generation after generation of mountains have risen from the ground, each leading the way for tens of millions of years. In the last 200 million years, the largest tectonic plate convergence on Earth has been the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. The world's highest plateau, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, comes from this.

And to the northeast of the Tibetan Plateau is the king of the greatest mountain ranges, the Himalayas

The Himalayas are the tallest and most majestic mountain ranges in the world. It stands on the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, distributed in Tibet and Pakistan, India, Nepal and Bhutan, and its main part is at the junction of China and Nepal.

It stretches from Nanga Parbat Peak in the northwest of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the west to Nanga Bhava Peak at the sharp bend of the Brahmaputra River in the east, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers and a width of nearly 300 kilometers.

The Himalayas are characterised by soaring heights, steep jagged peaks on one side, stunning valleys and alpine glaciers, terrain deeply cut by erosion, and unfathomable river gorges.

Complex geological formations, a series of elevation zones (or zones) that exhibit different ecological connections of flora, fauna and climate. Viewed from the south, the Himalayas resemble a giant crescent, with its main optical axis above the snow line, and the snow fields, alpine glaciers, and avalanches all feed the valley glaciers, which are the source of most Himalayan rivers.

The Himalayas can be divided into four parallel longitudinal mountain bands of different widths, each with distinct topographical features and its own geological history.

From south to north they are named the Outer or Sub-Himalayas, the Small or Low Himalayas, the Great or High Himalayas, and the Tethys or Tibetan Himalayas.

The Himalayas are not symmetrical in terms of topography, with gentle northern slopes and steep southern slopes. In the foothills of the northern slope of the mountain, it is the lake basin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China, with abundant pastures and beautiful pastures on the lakeside.

Almost all of the great rivers flowing into the Indian Ocean originate from the northern slopes and cut through the Great Himalayas, forming a very deep canyon.

The world's most famous mountain range is not very friendly to its own country. Du Lengqiu looked at the almost endless snow-colored peaks and sighed.

The rolling peaks of the Himalayas block the moist air currents blowing from the Indian Ocean. As a result, the southern slope of the Himalayas has abundant rainfall and lush vegetation, while the northern slope has less rainfall and sparse vegetation, creating a striking contrast. As the height of the mountains increases, the natural landscape of the alpine area also changes, forming a distinct vertical natural zone.

For Ah San and Nepal, the Himalayas are a windfall from heaven and a blessing from heaven. There are endless natural treasures on the southern slopes waiting to be mined.

Most of the rivers in the three countries originate in the Himalayas.

Therefore, this mountain range is a must for them.

The infiltration of the lower Himalayas contributed to the activity of migrants entering and passing through the channels of the river plains of South Asia.

In general, the Greater Himalayas and Tethys Himalayas are inhabited by Tibetans and other Tibeto-Burman ethnic groups (Mongolian races), while the Lesser Himalayas are home to tall, fair-skinned Indo-Europeans.

In the Trans-Himalayan region of Jammu and Kashmir, Indo-European societies were known as the Dogra dynasty.

The Gadi and Gugali living in the Lesser Himalayas also belong to the European group (already South Asianized). The Qadis are essentially a mountain people, with large flocks of sheep and goats, and only in winter leave their homes in the snowy regions of the Trans-Himalayas to descend into the mountains, and return to the highest pastures in June.

The Gugali were a nomadic people living on sheep, flocks of goats, and a few cattle, and they sought pasture for their cattle and sheep at various altitudes.

These people lived in the Himalayas for countless centuries before the cataclysm, and global modernization seems to have forgotten them.

However, when Du Lengqiu came here, what he saw was not a paradise, but a war.
