A few months ago, I went to the northwest with Renren Travel Agency to see the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the eighth wonder in the world, and the Xixia Tombs, known as the "Oriental Pyramid". Kumbum Monastery, one of the six largest Buddhist temples in Tibet. We went to the endless Tengger Desert and experienced the mysterious and beautiful Qinghai Lake. It really shocked my soul. Our first stop is Xi'an, the largest city among the five northwest provinces. Xi'an is the ancient capital of eleven dynasties. Each dynasty has established its capital here for 1140 years. It is a city centered on politics and culture, with extremely rich cultural heritage. People often say to foreign guests that if you don’t go to Xi’an when you come to China, you haven’t come to China. If you want to understand the history of China, you must go to Xi’an, which shows the status of this ancient city. In the center of the city is the largest bell tower built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There is the Shaanxi History Museum in the north and the Forest of Steles Museum in the south. In the old city of Xi'an, there are the world-famous Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang. There are also the old city and The first gate of the ancient city between the new urban areas - Anyuan Gate. The next day we couldn’t wait to visit the Shaanxi History Museum. In the Shaanxi History Museum, along with the precious cultural relics, my thoughts went back to ancient times, from apes to the era when humans walked upright, from the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States Period to the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Qing Dynasty, each exhibit made me appreciate the essence of the ancient Chinese culture. Here, I discovered that environmental protection tools existed as early as the Han Dynasty. This is my country's first environmental protection tool - the goose-footed fish lantern, a goose made of copper. The goose's head is turned behind and lowered, with its long mouth open and biting. A fish, the top of the lamp holder in the fish head faces the goose's neck, and the goose's neck leads to the goose's belly. The goose's belly is hollow and is used to hold water. In this way, the waste gas from burning kerosene is passed into the goose's belly, and the residue is removed with water. , it seems that the ancients have been able to use chemical principles for a long time, but it has not been widely used, and this wild goose-footed fish lantern is still a treasure of the museum. The second attraction we visited was the Forest of Steles Museum, known as one of the three largest museums in the world. The Forest of Steles Museum is different from the Shaanxi History Museum. It mainly collects stone steles from the beginning of engraving and printing to the late Qing Dynasty, which makes people feel nostalgic. Here I found the rare authentic works of Mi Fu, one of the four masters of calligraphy in the Song Dynasty, as well as the authentic works of calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi, Cao sage Zhang Xu, Cao Kuang Huaisu and other calligraphy masters. Among them, the Shitai Xiao Jing, the first stele that welcomes guests, located on the central axis of the Forest of Steles Museum, moved me the most. This stele was inscribed in the fourth year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty and was written by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Among the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, their majestic momentum and scale make people feel tragic about the actions at that time. The human, material and financial resources it consumed are immeasurable. I felt a sense of compulsion in the largest exhibition hall of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which made me explore the humanities and ancient history of the Qin Dynasty. There is also the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty and is located in Daci'en Temple. Da Ci'en Temple was built under the leadership of Xuanzang, who was the first abbot of Da Ci'en Temple. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was used by Xuanzang to store the scriptures he brought back from India. It has 7 floors and is 64.5 in height. rice. This is the reason for the Buddhist saying, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." Our second stop was Ningxia, the ethnic minority autonomous region. We only stayed in Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia, for half a day before turning to Zhongwei and arriving at the endless yellow Tengger Desert. At dusk, I was alone on a higher mountain admiring this dreamy sand elf. Standing in the desert, I have been looking for the artistic conception of Wang Wei's "lonely smoke in the desert, and the sun setting in the long river", but it happened to be drizzled that day, and it was not until about 8 o'clock in the evening that a trace of afterglow appeared on the horizon. When the sunset also sets at the end of the desert, the desert is a quiet and sacred golden color. The sand here is not like the sand on the beaches of southern coastal cities. The sand here is soft and delicate. Grab a handful and let the wind blow it down gently. It is as if you can see the eternal greenness in the falling sand. That feeling was wonderful. I shot nearly two rolls of film in the desert. It was not a waste, but I couldn't help it, and it was the charm of nature. The vast desert arouses my boundless reverie. The vicissitudes of the world, the long history, the majesty of nature, and the short life. I suddenly remembered what the ancients said: mourn the brief moment of my life, admire the infinity of the Yangtze River, carry the emperor with me to travel, hold the bright moon to the end. From this, I realized more the preciousness of life and time.
I lay on the desert, feeling the desert and wind caressing every inch of my skin. I found my wildness in the desert, and the call of the wildness echoed in the desert for a long time. At the bonfire party in the evening, I almost went crazy. That night, I couldn't sleep. We left early the next morning, but I will never forget the feeling the desert gave me.
