As a famous "fairy mountain" in China, Kunlun Mountain is rich in stories and legends. For example, it is said that Kunlun has three floors. The first floor is the Kunlun Mountain, and the second floor is the Yaochi of the Empress Dowager, where the Empress Dowager lives.
The third floor is the residence of heaven and earth, where the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan lived. In Taoist culture, Kunlun Mountain is the "ancestor of thousands of mountains" and the "fairy mountain" of Taoism in China. The first line of Kunlun Mountain runs through the west of China, between Xinjiang and Tibet, and stretches for nearly 2,500 kilometers, which can be roughly divided into three sections: east, west and middle.
There have been many traces of human activities around Kunlun Mountain since ancient times, and scientific research has found a large number of ancient relics near Kunlun Mountain. For example, there are many ancient rock paintings in Kunlun Mountain, some of which have a history of more than 10,000 years, exceeding the historical records of China and belonging to ancient times.
There is a picture with "airplane pattern" on it, which makes people puzzled. Is there really prehistoric civilization?
First, the mysterious Kunlun Mountain.
The earliest record of Kunlun Mountain is in Shan Hai Jing. In Shan Hai Jing, there are four gods of Kunlun Mountain, the Emperor of Heaven, and some famous immortals practicing in Kunlun Mountain.
Such as "Goddess of Heaven" and "Goddess of the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon". Many modern novels are also telling its mystery and strangeness. For example, the very famous "Jingjue Ancient City" and "Nine-story Demon Tower".
The most famous one in Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West, which is recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. "The Queen Mother of the West is like a human being, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, but she is good at whistling, and she is covered in Dai Sheng, which is the strength of even five remnants." Is the ancestor of all demons. Later, Taoism absorbed the Queen Mother of the West and became more and more brilliant.
Kunlun Mountain is far away and awe-inspiring for the ancients, but for modern people, on the one hand, it is full of strange horror, on the other hand, it has the intention to unveil its mystery. So for a long time, many explorers set foot on Kunlun Mountain.
The most famous place in Kunlun Mountain is the "Gate of Hell". It is said that there are some shepherds on Kunlun Mountain who would rather starve to death in the Gobi Desert than step into the "Gate of Hell". The so-called "Hell's Gate" is Lengler Canyon.
Lengrad Gorge is about100km long and 30km wide. There are many human remains, both animals and people. 1983, a herder died. His clothes are in rags, but there is no trauma. The cause of death is unknown.
There is an abnormal magnetic field in the Lengrad Canyon. According to experts' speculation, there should be a lot of magnetite and basalt in the Lenggler Canyon. The unique landform and mysterious environment make Kunlun Mountain a sacred and mysterious existence. In such a mysterious place, the bizarre events that happened are also understandable.
At the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, there is also an ancient tomb group called Dulan Ancient Tomb Group. Wei Xue's Tomb No.1 is a very spectacular tomb. Local Tibetans all think this tomb is a symbol of bad luck, and there are many "monsters". At that time, archaeology stopped after two floors. One is that there are many strange things, and the other is for protective excavation. At present, the protection ability of cultural relics is limited, and development will be carried out after the technology is mature.
Second, the ancient history of Kunlun Mountain, the ancient civilization in murals
In China ancient civilization and earlier ancient times, there were a large number of ancient tribes in Kunlun Mountain, which is said to be the earliest Yanhuang period and even the earliest Fuxi Nuwa period. There are many ancient cultures, which are also one of the sources of ancient culture in China.
1984, polished stone tools and crystals were accidentally discovered in a ditch on the west bank of the Dalia River source of Haxia River in Altun Mountain Nature Reserve, located at the foot of Kuruk Pitilektag Mountain. It is reported that the time of these relics is about 1.5 million years to 1 10,000 years ago.
This also proves that there are ancient humans in Kunlun Mountain, and it is even more proved that there are ten thousand-year-old rock paintings on Kunlun Mountain. These rock paintings have many familiar animals such as cows and horses, many people and many palms.
But strangely, there are still many paintings and mysteries that we still can't understand.
There are many pictures like today's airplanes painted on the murals of rock paintings in Kunlun Mountain. The plane is very real, and even the propeller of the plane can be seen, which shows that it is still a helicopter, and the structure of the whole plane is very clear.
We know that the appearance of airplanes is a very modern thing. How did airplanes appear in ancient times? , is it someone through? This also makes experts puzzled. Is there really prehistoric civilization? If it does exist, why is it extinct?
These problems also make experts unable to explain. The most likely thing is the whimsy of ancient humans, which coincides with modern technology. It is not easy for us to see the paintings of the ancients spanning ten thousand years. It is not only touching, but also a sense of detachment across time and space.
Third, the source and important role of Kunlun Mountain rock paintings
Is rock painting art or leisure? Actually, it's not. The origin of rock paintings is actually a kind of witchcraft, which is a kind of "witchcraft etiquette" carried out by ancient humans. This witchcraft activity is the primary stage of human civilization.
Humans began to have the ability to recognize the surrounding environment and form self-awareness. Most of these paintings are realistic, with rough style and strong lines. These paintings can be excellent works of art up to now, but in ancient times, they represented a way to communicate with God. Maybe ancient humans really had a way to reach this level.
For example, there are many figures, animals and animals in the rock paintings of Shimenzi in Konka. Archaeologists have done a lot of research here and believe that the early image of the Queen Mother of the West came from the rock paintings of Shimenzi, Konka. Besides many numbers, there are many double-headed people and three-headed people.
There may be some kind of ceremony and sacrifice between characters, and there are many little people dancing, which may symbolize reproduction and endless life.
Another example is Taohuajian scenic spot in Lianyungang, where there are many face paintings and many strange symbols. Experts explained that these symbols may symbolize the sun, the moon and the stars, and many faces are strange and strange. According to textual research, these rock paintings have a history of 7000 to 10000 years.
About these rock paintings, some only have faces, some draw lines under their faces, and some only draw eyes and noses. As for why ancient humans painted these.
What is the motive, sacrifice or ceremony, has not been deciphered so far, which needs further investigation and study, but there is definitely a lot of information that will disappear in the long river of history.
In the process of constantly creating murals, human beings have gradually discovered its practical value, that is, it can be used to record information. This great discovery actually represents the function of "Cang Xie Jujube".
Painting is the beginning of words. From then on, mankind began to accumulate knowledge, and began to blow the horn of civilization, and began to move towards the real road of civilization. ?
label
The existence of every rock painting indicates that in this land, ancient times has a long history, and ancient humans have developed civilization here.
Some of these rock paintings have become important historical materials for us to understand the ancient history of mankind, some have become important references for the history of ancient art, and some have become eternal puzzles for us to explore.
The ancients painted such beautiful pictures on the wall with torches, which became our real treasure after 10 thousand years. We can see the history and understand the life of ancient people. We can see paintings, which can add creativity to art today. We can solve the puzzle and restore the direction of ancient human evolution.
As an ancient history and culture, rock paintings should be valued and developed by people. Better protection and understanding of ancient art is for the continuation and development of the whole human culture. ?
