Desert Unification Maki
Jingbian the edge of town in the desert, you can feel the atmosphere of the Kingdom of Bactria. There is the summer capital city hotels, summer hotels, outside the city is expected to Ha Tsuen. They always have to remind you that this is a city of 10000 from the Commission of a recent district towns.
However, the city is still county Tongwan 58 kilometers north, hidden in the desert hold deep. Although not far from where the way to go can be difficult to walk. Slipped over the desert, and rarely encountered in the direction of the pedestrian may be asked to play. Should the wrong path, they might switch to drill in the desert with no success. 10000 City Commission has yet to be developed in the state, road signs for the establishment of conservation and is not perfect.
We have county-run culture and heritage director Huo Jhushan lead the way, naturally not astray by. Automotive oil line 30 kilometers away, and then Po Road, on the earth. On both sides of the Sand Sea is the vast boundless, and occasionally be able to see potou on a small house, Takeyama said it was villagers repair the temple. Some ask: What the temple for God? Takeyama laugh: land, Goddess, Kuan Kung, the Buddha has, streamline organizations, co-locators Well. This is humor to explain arouse our interest in the desert Dangqi laughter. Also Jingbian County, said the past few years development, and exploitation of natural resources is crucial, Chushan to say that we here is rich in resources, but have a known source of. People say ah, many years ago, barefoot marching to come here, but he put a fart turned into natural gas; pulled feces a bubble, the big coal mines; shed a few group of urine into the oil river. People do not understand scientific explanation, which is actually very imaginative folklore.
Yuehua Jian, cars have run out more than an hour, on-street emergence of a large old trees. Body under these old trees thick, bald take the brain, above the long branch length with delicate child, a unique shape. This is unique in northern Shaanxi bald Liu, winter, amputations of the people to do willow twigs, or firewood, next spring it will grow back thick.

No fixed car to the river, there is a small house and a bar blocking the avenue, the small room which read: baichengzi. Front is ruling the city of 10000. Buy a ticket, cross the river, climbed the hill, the city Tongwan appeared in front of a white sidewall.
The site is now the year is just a very small remnant Tongwan part of the city. The mid-5th century AD, Eastern Jin period, the Xiongnu tribe last Chanyu Helianbobo heroic, he was Emperor An Also-hee five years (AD 407) founded the Bactrian kingdom, and then shuaibing expedition, expanding territory, has been laid Chang and occupied large areas of the Qinling Mountains to the north of the last board-level throne. Helianbobo expedition through the Wuding River, had boarded the deed Wushan observe the terrain, he saw the foot of the mountain on the banks of a fertile and beautiful scenery, subsequently issued, laments: "Miya Si Fu, clinical Hirosawa and with clear line, I-line is mostly men, and not if the beauty of Sri Lanka. "decided to here the construction of his big Xia Du. From AD 413 onwards, the construction of thousands of people 5 years, was formally completed in 418. Its size is very ambitious, a few walls, the watch tower stands. City, points 3, palaces everywhere. "Book of Jin," there a "unification 10000 City Ming", said: "Taiwan Xiao Zhi Chong Sau Queyun Ting, 1000 pavilion even the corner, then screen ... ... 10000 Court of greenhouse Saga, Cencheng varies, Ying withered carved animals, Section Lou Long Chi. To Bao Pu Ying, decorated with rare ... ... "." Northern History "on the record says:" City High 10 Ren, base thickness San Shibu, widely ten steps, Miyagi climbed five of its kin, you can grind machetes, knives. Taixie tall, flying Court linked all Diaolou pictures were to Yee embroidery, decorated with Dan-Qing, a very poor literary talent. "You can see the extent of their extravagance.
Tongwan the past four city gates, the South Korean Song for the door, Wei Zhao east gate, west gate cool clothes, the north Pingshuo door. Fortification, the Helianbobo stringent degree must brutality. Wall quartz (ie, sand), clay, calcium carbonate (lime oxide) with water mixed Hang Zhu. Each building level, the supervisor should be cause for the Minister of using nail vertebra, vertebral prizes do not go in; vertebrae into an inch that is killing artisans, removed re-created, people are building the wall inside the earth. To the capital for the name, he shouted: "I side unifying Dragon IMC can be unified under the name 10000." Unfortunately, he only lived in this city 7 years, then died away. Chang Helian his son to the throne four years, the Commission will be 10000 City, Emperor Wu of the Northern Wei Dynasty Tuoba Shou break too. Bactrian empire only 26 years to life, but it is in history, but mighty.
Today, 1600 years of wind and sand have been swept through, leaving the city Tongwan several tall stacks of white earth, it is still revealing a little hard Canqiang despot. Lee hit the wind, dust does not move, it is after all a period of empire keel ah, even though covered with sores bruise can be Zhuoli unyielding, backward people in the world this shows that the desert has been brilliant.
Palace then vanished, the city is only one place, bright and clean yellow sand, camel thorn trees at the Ruo Liu and several bundles, showing little of the vitality of the past who would have thought 20 million people here have been gathered ah city life. Wind whistling around, like ghosts whine, if it is late at night, really makes some of the fear.
Went outside the city, there are the farmers come to sell the jars, a look at product phase is poor, and ordinary common, refused to include. Farmer said: "My family still living to, or, go and see?" I asked: "Where do you live in?" Peasant fingers from afar: "In the other side, ditch." Wan said the city Commission unearthed a lot of cultural relics, and some the value of play with great collection, and dozens of yuan money can buy one. However, a look at Hiiro Xiang Wan, were dropped.
The occasion of a farewell Tongwan city, it is setting sun, such as blood, and one to golden, undulating in the waves surrounded by yellow sand, white Duanqiang proudly hung-li, a very spectacular scenery makes it a little nostalgia dismay.
The return trip, all travel was already tired. Mr. Takeyama order to break the boring, and asked: A Meta-10000 City, then the strong, who knows how it burst do? Some people replied that for historical reasons, some people say that the residual years of erosion, it was Yue-man-made damage. Mr. Takeyama also touched on a folk legend: "Because Helianbobo killing of the innocent, heinous, the Jade Emperor then ordered the eradication of his Tongwan city. The first is the god of water flooded down the Fat Tong Wan City, could be the water back fortresses in no way impaired; So Vulcan also ignited fires burned down, but still no avail. Jade Emperor was very distressed, Fengshen offered advice that I have the means, he winds blowing down the crazy, off the yellow sand filled the city will be buried Tongwan . Since then, the city Tongwan disappear, relying on the history will be lost. Later, the desert mobile feng shui changes Tongwan exposing the city and from the horizon may be only a few cut-off white walls. the people, said: ah, or yellow sand formidable .
This legend has the imagination of the Department of the common people, but people can ponder: yes ah, reside edge of the desert people experience the most harm to the yellow sand. This wind desert afforestation project, the plan is really to survive.
Looking out the window of the willow forest, and I wish them to grow up quickly.
Once when Xia Du Tongwan city lush scenes that can no longer reproduce it?
