Tianchi Lake in Tianshan Mountain was once a fairyland where the Queen Mother of the West lived. According to Mu Biography, in 989 BC, people marched westward to Yaochi, Tianshan Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West hosted a banquet and presented silk jade articles. The Queen Mother of the West improvised a song: "White clouds are in the sky and the mountains are out. The road is far away, between mountains and rivers. " If my son isn't dead, why did he come back? "Zhou Muwang immediately sang," back to the land of the east, ruled the summers in harmony. All men are equal. I care about you. "Three years later, I will return to the wild. "
When leaving, the Queen Mother of the West reluctantly said to Zhou Muwang: I wish you a long life and wish you come again! However, Zhou Muwang is gone forever. Li Shangyin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, felt this sad love story and left a farewell song for the ages: "Grandma Yaochi leans against the window and sings sadly." Eight horses will visit Wan Li three times a day. Why didn't King Mu come back? "
This touching story, like a poem and a dream, has been circulating in Tianchi for thousands of years. It is the essence and soul of Tianchi tourism culture. In order to artistically show the magic and magnificence of Tianchi and the mutual exchange of matriarchal society, paternal society, nomadic culture and farming culture 3,000 years ago, and reveal the historical origin of the opening of the western regions to the Central Plains and the influence of the Central Plains culture on the western regions, the Tianshan Tianchi Scenic Area Management Committee excavated and sorted out the culture of the western queen mother of Tianchi, and the Western Region Tourism Development Co., Ltd. invested 800,000 yuan to create and arrange a large-scale musical Meet Yaochi.
Before his death, President Mao Zedong said with longing, "I want to go to Tianchi" and "Yaochi is the legendary place where the Empress Dowager takes a bath, and I want to take a bath in it". Although the long-cherished wish has not been realized, it is enough to prove the infinite charm of Tianchi.
