Chapter 314: The Mysterious Loulan Ruins
Chen Xing has come back now that he has spent the hottest period in Rongcheng, and the temperature has dropped a lot compared to before, but it is also a rebound back and forth.
The weather in eastern Sichuan is like this, and it is not uncommon to wear short sleeves yesterday and down today.
After the plane landed, he first went to the logistics to check the goods he had sent from Paris, and then went to his sister's house for a meal as usual. After receiving a call from the logistics company, the brother-in-law drove them to the China Resources 24 Chengqi Mansion.
It has taken a long time since I bought this house, but Chen Xing has not come to live in it a few times a year.
Not buying too much furniture is on the one hand, on the other hand, he is often outside, either from other provinces or foreign countries, and when he returns to Sichuan Province, he also goes home to see his parents, which leads to the fact that this house has not been popular for so long.
The staff of several logistics companies helped to move things into the house, tear off the packaging, and clean up.
These jobs kept my cousin's family busy here until the evening.
Xu Xiaofei put the garbage bag outside the door, looked back at Chen Xing's bright and brand-new home, and said with great emotion: "I haven't graduated from college yet, I didn't expect you to buy a house in full, really, no one believed it when I said it before." ”
Tao Qian also said: "No one believes it now, I remember that Chen Xing is only 20, right?" It's really amazing to be able to buy a house on your own at the age of 20. ”
Although Chen Xing's family is slightly superior, it has not yet reached the point where they can buy a house for Chen Xing in Rongcheng, and they only wanted Chen Xing to come back after college and enter a factory near home or find some other job.
The house was also bought in town.
Buying a house in Rongcheng is too expensive, but if it is in the local county or town, the family can still come up with the money.
They don't know that Chen Xing's current work will almost be able to buy a house in his hometown.
If you don't climb over the wall in China, few ordinary people will know the price of Chen Xing's current work, after all, there is no way to enter the gallery's official website, and it is impossible to know the latest current price.
But in any case, Chen Xing, as a 20-year-old man, is very good.
praised Chen Xing for most of the day, and they didn't go back until late at night.
If Chen Xing is in Paris, he has to let them live at home, and it is not that there are no guest rooms, but in China, it is casual, not to mention how the law and order is, just the strong figure of the brother-in-law can intimidate those gypsies who block the road in Paris.
This house may be a little crowded for a family, but Chen Xing has only one person, three bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms, which is completely enough for a small family.
He still liked the study.
The function of this study is not only to read books, at least not only to read books, but also to play games, watch projections, draw pictures and so on.
Put a computer in the bedroom, an easel and a sketchpad...... It's a little crowded, and it doesn't look good in the living room, so you just need to put it in the study. There is no trouble with the big bed in the bedroom, and there is no space of more than ten square meters to do what you want to do.
The decoration in the bedroom had been bought a few months ago, after all, Chen Xing would sometimes come to live here.
The next day, he went back to the New Territories to see his parents, and after dividing the gifts, Chen Xing was ready to go to Lop Nur in Western Xinjiang.
It's a mysterious place.
At first, Chen Xing just wanted to go to Dunhuang and feel more influenced by Dunhuang culture for his own shooting plan. But after checking the information, he saw the ancient country of Loulan and other attractions on the ancient Silk Road.
Here I have to mention why Chen Xing wanted to take a group of artistic photos of the goddess of Dunhuang.
First of all, because Chen Xing likes the word goddess very much, which is a word that is different from traditional Chinese fairies, and goddesses sound more high-end, such as Nuwa, Xihe, Chang Xi, and other goddesses in Chinese tradition.
However, just because of the addition of the word Dunhuang, the goddess was endowed with an exotic style.
Second, I have to mention that Tang Shiyi's dancing is too beautiful, her body is soft, light and playful, and her appearance may not be as outstanding as those who rely on her appearance to mix in the entertainment industry, but she naturally has a little shadow of the Western Regions in Chen Xing's mind.
When he saw her dancing at that time, Chen Xing was thinking of ...... Its shape is also, fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind.
Roselle Fu.
The goddess, the Western Regions, the image of a Dunhuang goddess jumped out.
When he checked the information and saw the ancient kingdom of Loulan in the Western Regions, the mysterious remarks on the Internet began to attract Chen Xing's new round of interest. What foreigners are not allowed to enter, and what goes in costs tens of thousands of dollars.
Really? Isn't it just a scenic spot?
This kind of remark made Chen Xing return to Huaxia a few days early, wanting to confirm what the situation was here.
After packing up a little clothes for autumn, Chen Xing said goodbye to his parents and stepped on the plane to Western Xinjiang.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan was in Lop Nur, and Lop Nur was located in the southeast of present-day Western Xinjiang.
Lop Nur is a particularly regrettable place, as you can tell from the name, it was originally a huge lake.
In some periods of history, the Cherchen River, which flows from south to north in western Xinjiang, and the Shule River in the Hexi Corridor from east to west, were also the source of water for Lop Nur Daze. There was a golden age of unification and abundant water and grass here, and it supported a commercial hub like Loulan.
Eastern and Western civilizations collide here.
But now there is nothing to be seen, and in the sixties of the last century, when the last drop of water dried up, Lop Nur completely became a forbidden area of life, in which only a few creatures were able to live.
Chen Xing arrived in Xijiang at 10 a.m. the next day, and landed and sat in the car for several hours.
Chen Xing's resistance to diesel cars has now reached a very high level, otherwise Chen Xing will definitely lose half his life after these few hours of driving, and it is difficult to say whether he can have the ability to move after sleeping for a night.
The smell in the car is too bad, it's better than sitting on the top of the truck.
But even so, after arriving in Qiang County, he still opened a small room and rested for a few hours before relieving himself.
The hotel where he stayed specially avoided the station, after all, the hotel near the station was the hardest hit area of the pit people, sometimes don't look at the price is quite cheap, but Uncle Benshan's sketch didn't also say, when someone really wanted to lie to you, it was impossible to prevent it.
So just stay away.
But Chen Xing woke up from a nap, but heard the sound of playing and singing downstairs.
Chen Xing is familiar with this style of music, although the tone has changed slightly, but the instruments are still the same ones that Chen Xing has heard for several days at his wedding in Western Xinjiang...... Could it be that someone downstairs is getting married again?
When he first arrived here in the morning, he was looking for a big hotel, but he couldn't find it after walking around, and he was a little tired, so he opened a room and slept in a clean-looking hotel.
When you go upstairs, you can indeed see that there is a restaurant, but this restaurant is a Western Xinjiang barbecue and has nothing to do with the hotel.
Chen Xing slept enough, and was a little curious, so he took the camera and mobile phone room card, and went downstairs to the place where the music sounded.
Singing indoors, the sound can't float so far, and it's not so loud, which is only the case outdoors. Chen Xing was prepared for this first point, so after walking for about twenty meters, he saw a place on the side of the street, recessed in the middle of the house.
Although they are all in Western Xinjiang, the architectural style of Qiang County is different from that of Altai.
The architecture here prefers to use a unique brown mixed with yellow and red, a hue that seems to be unique to this place, Chen Xing has not seen this color in other buildings before, and the exterior structure of the houses is tight and regular, and some buildings have large domes in a halal-style style.
This kind of domed building is also a few years old, and it is a very early Muss L religious style, who studied the ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece and built large domes that look similar to the Persian style.
However, this process of learning was interrupted by the Mongols, and the Mus-L dynasty was destroyed by the Mongols, and when the Isl civilization was rebuilt, although the dome was also being built, it was somewhat different from the original Persian-style dome.
Q: Why does Chen Xing know so much about architecture?
Parisian high-end is not in vain.
Whether it is oil painting or photography, you have to learn various architectural styles in school, otherwise how can you paint a building so well.
Continuing to talk about this recessed wall, there is a sign above and on the side of him, which reads Qiang County Cultural Stage. On the right, there is a teacher in charge of the sound, and a group of instrumentalists sit against the wall in the back.
In front, it is naturally an indispensable song and dance in Western Xinjiang.
Listening to the music, Chen Xing's DNA moved.
Three days, he watched others dance at other people's weddings for three days, and he occasionally had to go up and perform a few times, resulting in some dance moves in the western Xinjiang that he can dance now.
There are four dancing girls on the stage, wearing small white hats on their heads, wearing red vests and yellow skirts, trousers, and red dancing shoes, the colors look particularly comfortable, and when they turn, two long braids also fly with the rotation of their bodies, and there are trousers of the same color inside the skirts.
Wearing trousers under this skirt is a special respect for tradition.
Listening carefully, I realized that those who played the musical instruments in the back also took on the work of singing, and the chorus and ensemble of more than a dozen people were very local and very good.
There's an event going on here, and a lot of people are coming.
In this kind of ethnic minority place, Chen Xing didn't dare to squeeze in front casually, and when this song ended, a gorgeously dressed girl came to announce the curtain halfway, and he found a young man who seemed to have a good personality around him.
"Eh, handsome dude." Chen Xing shouted.
The man turned around, looked at Chen Xing, and said in Mandarin with the smell of mutton skewers, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"What are you doing, there are so many people here."
"It's just a very ordinary art show, there are often them, just watch it, it's free anyway."
An ordinary theatrical performance?
Gratis?
Is your average quality like this?
At this time, the next show also started, Chen Xing stopped asking, took two photos with his camera, and then continued to watch.
Western Xinjiang is too big, and there are many ethnic groups, Chen Xing has been to the westernmost part of Western Xinjiang, several cities close to the border, which can be said to have a pure taste of Western Xinjiang. But when I came to the Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, I found that the western Xinjiang style and Mongolian style here are very well integrated.
The characteristics of both cultures can be seen in the clothing, and in terms of architecture, it is also more distinctive than many other places.
The crowd here comes and goes, and it looks the same as the street performers you often see outside, except that the scale is a little bigger and more professional, the dancers are young and beautiful, and the instruments play well.
Chen Xing thought that they would say something in the end, but the eldest sister who reported the curtain came up and said a few words casually and it was over.
The little brother next to Chen Xing saw it like him before leaving, Chen Xing felt that he had plenty of time, so he chased after him and asked, "Handsome guy, what did she just say?" I don't understand. ”
It's good-looking, but whether it's the song or the newspaper, the whole story is in the local dialect, and Chen Xing sounds like he's listening to Russian.
"They said there would be no performances this month, and it would only start again on October 10th."
"Oh, hello, my name is Chen Xing, what about you?"
"My name is Eun and Nashun, oops, handsome guy, you find someone else, I still have something."
Something? You watched it with me for more than an hour.
Well, everyone has rejected Chen Xing, and he will definitely not make up for it, and after saying sorry, he wants to ask someone else about the situation...... Of course, he didn't want to inquire about this art show, but wanted to inquire with the locals about the Loulan ruins.
Originally, there was not much time, and at the end of September at the latest, on the 28th, he was going to Yanjing, so he could take a look at the national flag raising on the National Day, and then find Tang Shiyi, who had returned from abroad.
I finished filming early and went back to school.
Lop Nur is here to watch for a few days, and he still has to go to Dunhuang, so the time is a little tight.
Before he could find a second person, his stomach began to protest.
He hadn't eaten or drunk anything for hours after getting off the plane, and now he realized that he was a little hungry and thirsty.
I casually found a small supermarket and bought a bottle of mineral water, and when I paid the bill, Chen Xing thought of it...... What other passers-by are you looking for, isn't there a ready-made one?
He remembered that Zhou Peng said that the local small supermarket was the most well-informed.
So when he paid the money, Chen Xing asked: "Hello, big brother, I am a tourist from other places, I want to ask how to get to the Loulan ruins?" I couldn't find where the ticket was sold. ”
"Loulan Ruins?"
My brother's Mandarin is quite good, so he asked rhetorically to confirm it, shook his head and said, "Don't go, you can't go." It's a no-man's land, and I've not been allowed to enter it for a long time, not to mention that there is still a large section of the road that has been controlled by the military, and if you want to go to the cultural and tourism bureau here, you have to ask for the approval of the soldiers, and you can't go. ”
"Huh? Isn't that an attraction? ”
"What kind of attraction, it's never been an attraction, and what's so nice about a pile of loess walls? Forget it, but you can go to the Loulan Museum to have a look, or other ancient city ruins, anyway, I think it's pretty much the same. ”
Can't go?
Although Chen Xing didn't find a travelogue on the Internet, he did see someone who had been there, why did he say that he couldn't go.
