Fairy prose poems

Legend has it that there was a monk named Le Zun in Dunhuang. When he passed three dangerous peaks, ten thousand golden lights suddenly appeared on the mountain, and the golden lights on the three dangerous peaks became "three buddhas", surrounded by countless bodhisattvas chanting and flying flowers. He suddenly felt that the golden light on Sanwei Mountain was Buddha's light, so he went around and dug the first grotto on Mingsha Mountain opposite Sanwei Mountain. Later, there were 10 dynasties, and a large number of grottoes were dug in 1000 years. In the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 65,438+0,000 caves in the Mogao Grottoes. However, due to natural and man-made destruction, there are now less than 500 caves left. A museum was built next to the Mogao Grottoes. Although we only saw some caves repaired and built with modern high technology, they are really lifelike. I believe that the culture of artistic treasures will not deteriorate. Let more tourists from all over the world know about China's 5,000-year-old culture.

Out of the Mogao grottoes, take a bus to the crescent spring scenic spot in Mingsha Mountain. Mingsha Mountain Scenic Area is located 5 kilometers south of Dunhuang City. First of all, we were taken far away by the guide. Mingsha Mountain is like a beehive, with holes connected and arranged neatly, which is spectacular. Throughout the ages, it is famous for its wonderful landscape of "mountain spring * * *, sand and water * * *", and is known as "one of the scenic spots beyond the Great Wall". Mingsha Mountain is named after the sound of sand. It was called "Shajiao Mountain" and "Shensha Mountain" in ancient times. This mountain is made of quicksand. It is about 40 kilometers long from east to west and 20 kilometers wide from north to south. Maximum altitude1715m. Its mountains are adjacent to the sand ridges, and the peaks are like blades. From a distance, it looks like a winding dragon and waves coming and going in the sea, which is very spectacular. The sand is pink, yellow, green, white and black, glittering and translucent, without a trace of dust. When it encounters friction and vibration, it will make a sound, as light as a bamboo pole and as heavy as thunder. Therefore, "Shaling Qingming" is one of the "eight scenic spots" in Dunhuang.

Crescent Spring is surrounded by Mingsha Mountain, so it is named after its crescent shape. In ancient times, it was called "Shajing", also known as "Yaoquan", which was misrepresented as "Wowachi" and renamed as "Crescent Moon Spring" in Qing Dynasty. The area is 0.88 hectares, the average water depth is about 3 meters, and the water quality is as sweet as a mirror. For thousands of years, the spring around Shashan Mountain has not been buried. Located in the arid desert, the spring water is not turbid or dry. There are few real figures. In spring, the star grass contains awns, the iron fish drum waves, and the mountains, water and light set each other off into interest. The scenery is very beautiful. Crescent Spring is about 300 meters long and 50 meters wide. It is surrounded by Mingsha Mountain. There are slender poplars beside the spring, and there are fish swimming leisurely in the spring. Spring is light blue, clear and soft, and delicious. It is named because the water is like a crescent moon. Crescent Moon Spring, a dreamlike mystery. For thousands of years, it has not been submerged by the surrounding quicksand, nor has it been dried up by drought. It is the first spring in desert in the world, which is breathtaking.

Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring are twin sisters in the desert Gobi. "The mountain is famous for its spirit, and the water is beautiful with spirit". When tourists come here, whether they have a bird's-eye view from the top of the mountain or walk by the spring, they will be fascinated and full of thoughts. They do have the feeling of "singing the sand and singing the mountains, and washing their hearts in the crescent spring". The artistic landscapes of Mingsha Mountain, Crescent Moon Spring and Mogao Grottoes are integrated, which is the "two wonders" of Dunhuang South China and has become a tourist attraction that people in China and even the world yearn for.
