Donkey riding down out of Yang Guan
Seamless days
Come out from the Mogao Grottoes, I have been pondering a go-yang Guan.
Asked a few local villagers, they said I do not know how to. Back to Dunhuang city asked a travel agency, also said there is this project.
Riding days do not yet dark, I took to the streets to go shopping, a snack at roadside stalls throughout the city, I ordered a bowl of the Northwest Niangpi son, and he asks the boss to help me recruited two Manchu cake. Northwest authentic flavor!
I was eating, "Ga ~ ~ ~" roadside stop a minibus and lorry drivers to an eolian Putt-Putt, then the driver is on this table, I sit down. He wanted a bowl of beef noodles. Snore snore ate opened, I hasten to greet him, the thing I want to Yang Guan told him, he said he had not been, but if I rent his car to go no problem. Haha, really worn out shoes in fruitless searching, come not at all tasks are ah.
On a good price, he promised to pick me up tomorrow morning to the hotel.
Early in the morning, his time came, the Northwest guy really Shen ah.
Car out of the city, over a few villages, he was driving a car along the way asked the villagers. Later, we chatted and cooked, and simply become my car, he asked specifically to deal with road by now.
Opened more than two hours about it, hooked an open car in the middle of the big bumps with the Gobi, when I saw Yang Guan, I tightly to the steering wheel, rickety moving toward the Yang Guan.
Can Yuan-like walls of a length blocked our way, to, and get off, drivers are unwilling to go.
I walked into that gate alone, the original is more selling tourist souvenirs. It was not original, I passed through the walls, eyes suddenly see the light.
Wow ~ ~ ~ Looking around us, a good one open ah!
West, Yang Guan no reason people, these assertions is true.
Unfortunately, near a row of modern people only see the new old Pavilion is a saying: celebrity inscription gallery.
That Pavilion, in this desert is pretty antique look, the Pavilion stood next to a monument, a letter to "Yang Guan" word.
This is the Yang Guan? My Mr. Wang Wei ah, this is directed at you came from?
A tales of "Weicheng Song", kicking up a long time singing modern people?
I have exposure to it among the Pavilion, looking ahead, saw the road sand and fog, the distance a Road scattered undulating dunes, lined with exquisite nature is simply nature's uncanny workmanship ah. A look in the desert knows no boundaries, the introduction of an unlimited source of fascination, "Yangguansandie" melody, unknowingly floated reverberating in my ears up.
On three sides of the sand dunes encircling me, where's Yang Guan city battlements? Only in my hills north of Pier 1 is also the only remaining a beacon of Han. Where it stood a tall, as if to prove to me that here is the Yang Guan.
Yang Guan exist before, according to historical records, Yang Guan was founded in 121 BC, is the Western Han dynasty, built for the anti-Hun. Yang Guan as a gateway to the gateway to the Western Regions, but also "Silk Road" Road to go through passes. There has been lively with miles. Border Poets Cen once wrote, "two lead official, the two spent the Yang Guan." You see, holding official passports, officials there are from here out. Can be seen reflected in its important in,
According to legend, when monk Tang - Tang Xuan Zang to the Western Paradise learn and come back when it was to go that path, he was removed since then east back into the Yang Guan Changan. There Chang'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda as evidence, it is a much-told story.
Think that Tripitaka was put into a customs inspection at the Yang dispatch, his monkey who Tuer, maybe it is the side Zhuaernaosai to impatience, the monkey on the set is Nazuo Beacon turned a somersault over the past right?
I was the Yang Guan, before nostalgia thinking secluded uphold the reverie of the. Several villagers holding horses, donkeys pulled leisurely walked over toward me. They told me that they had come to paid services for tourists, and riding their animals, they can actively look for it to take me off the real site of Yang. They are pointing at the desert, said that there are many baby, there are the Han and Tang pottery, iron, brick block, agate, 5 baht money, pottery, arrows. . . . . . Said to be entering into the depths of the desert, you can see the ancient walls of Yang Guan Gener.
I suddenly came spirits, Zhuang phase in which a donkey, then riding up.
That donkey children are also well placed to exploit the depth of the desert walk.
Pull donkey is a village women, looks are 30 years old, very talkative.
She said that this area of ground known as antique Beach, away from Dunhuang City, approximately more than 140 miles. Why is it called Yang Guan? Because there is located in yumenguan south of the south of the ancients as the yang and therefore I said Yang Guan.
Oh, how won, where village women verbally extraordinary ah.
Deep into the desert, you can see a lot of small plants, which plants have branches there is no light leaves, all of them have a long a thorn in village women told me that it was impossible for them to long leaves, because there is no water, and that thorn is what they have leaves.
Oh, it's everything this world has its survival instinct ah.
Zoulehenjiu way in the desert, and we are sweating, I think the donkey was also breathing heavily. I said that I have fallen down, village women are rude, that you walk down it, might be able to pick up something precious.
I stand up under the donkey looked Review.
Ah! I have just spent time in places that beacon, that Pavilion, that little bit of shadows, as if the general floor Gimhae lip hanging in the horizon, steaming hot desert scenery to decorate it a more mysterious. . . . . .
I have carefully searching for the desert, pretty soon, it really pulls out some things. However, most of these tile blocks, pottery or something, and did not see five baht money, agate, arrows ah.
Village women know that I am puzzled, then said to me, you do not overlook something in your hand, they are thousands of years, and the real heritage.
How can I say that if we say it? They come from?
Village women rubbing Khan, relaxed to me about a band in this widespread story.
According to legend, Emperor Tang (which she did not talk about the emperor) in order to win over the Western Regions Yu Tianguo, they put his daughter to marry Yu Tianguo Wang. King married Princess, natural and ultimately, gold and silver jewelry, silk rungra for dowry. There are holding spears, sword of sending pro-team, who are a long distance to come to the Yang Guan. This is because when Yang Guan is the vast desert, the road hard since needless to say, the team will rest here and do a closed preparation.
Unexpectedly, the night wind comes up, quicksand rampant. Yang will be this one go off, this village, this garden, which sent the pro-team all buried in the sand dunes below. From then on, there became a barren one.
After the long, long time, strong winds blowing sand movement, things gradually under the sand dunes above the ground, because every day the wind did not like the flow of sand are not the same, exposing the ground, things are not the same, which is why every visitor to After the experience of different reasons.
Ah, ah, I see?
We are modern people you had better be careful yo, if we do not sand, not knowing which day, our city will also be swept to the miles of sand.
I asked the village women, then how did you come here for?
She said that her ancestors grandfather was a big guan'er the Qing dynasty, as guilty of Shier, the emperor should be Manmenchaozhan. Fortunately, someone in North Korea, that the ancestral grandfather escaped the night carrying family members had been escaped to the desert, he saw there a spring, is here to settle down. Water can be living ah, you said is not it?
Village women spoke their hands pointed to the south, that is there. Zhao Nabian I looked, and sure enough there is a lush green trees, then in that village on the cover inside Mody?
I can go to the village you look at it?
Village women silent.
What were your family?
My grandfather at home.
I could go see your grandfather do?
Village women not to speak.
I could not force its way through, they asked; elderly people at home doing ah?
Village women to answer only two words, to let me surprised.
Village women said: "The system xun"
Xun, is a very ancient musical instrument, in previous years, almost lost. Made of clay pottery Xun, playing together, euphemism desolate, sounds unique, any instrument can not be replaced also.
I can to fight for one?
I dare not say buy a used specifically discuss the word children.
That village women laughed, laughed, said I have here, there, speaking from her carry the bag inside to work out a Xun.
Ah, I Jia Ping-wa's "Deserted City" where had that experience before it, in Beijing, enjoy the music hall had it, but I did not blew it.
Sell me?
Well.
I took that Xun, playing with for a while, I actually sounded, but also blow the "Yangguansandie" the first sentence: Core duo duo squint Rui-Rui啦~ ~ ~
Haha, sounds indeed extraordinary, I am extremely happy, as if I had known before that as the millennium Xun.
"To the" female villagers pointed to a mound that this is the site of the ancient Yang Guan.
I saw them, on a mound ah?
This is not it? I am a bit puzzled.
Old people say yes. She replied.
That is the bar.
I asked her to put the donkeys pull over, I would like to pour out the Yang Guan donkey.
"Why?" She bit puzzled.
I said, goes on down the old donkey has done a lot of fruit Shier it, I can not pour donkey Guo Yang Guan?
She seemed to listen to understand what I mean, would that donkey pull over.
I would ride on the donkey while singing loudly beating the donkey side of the:
Weicheng dust, Chao Yu-eup,
Guest houses green Green is the Willow.
Jun also advised to make a cup of wine,
West, Yang Guan people for no reason.
Haha, I would donkey out of Yang Guan!
