Travel Notes in Dunhuang

? On the first day I left Dunhuang, I missed her …

? At the beginning of the year, I accidentally planted a seed in my heart, that is, I followed Pan to participate in the Dunhuang 108 km hiking challenge for four days and three nights. Time is getting closer, more and more expectation, more and more happy! Finally, on the morning of the 30th, the confused little mushroom beam went to the wrong station and panicked for a while. Looking forward to the trip to Dunhuang for half a year, it must not be so cold! ! Perhaps my usual personality has accumulated good luck, and I finally changed my visa in time without delay. The reason why I inserted such an own goal is to remind myself, Haiyan, that you can eat snacks! You can go to the wrong boarding gate to attend a friend's wedding, and you can go to the wrong stop to travel. Do you want to play something bigger? No, the baby didn't!

The journey is beautiful, from Wuhan to Zhengzhou East, from Zhengzhou East to Lanzhou, and then from Lanzhou to Dunhuang. Tell me about my impression of Lanzhou. I deliberately chose to take a bus from Lanzhou West to Lanzhou Station, just to have a good look at the city. I didn't see the dense Lanzhou Lamian Noodles as I expected, but there are many beef noodle restaurants and mutton soup kitchens. If I'm not in a hurry, I really want to stop and have a taste. When I arrived at Lanzhou Railway Station, there were khaki and pedestrians everywhere, and there were no flashy neon lights. The whole city exudes an ancient and quaint atmosphere. The station is backed by a mountain, which is not particularly high. Later, according to a driver's master, it is beautiful to overlook Lanzhou from the mountain, although he has never left Lanzhou in his life.

I finally got on the Y667 "Dunhuang" special train, full of surprises. Most trains are tourists. In the same carriage, there is also a local who took his daughter home to visit relatives. Sister is very friendly, handing us walnuts and peeled grapefruit, and also taking the initiative to introduce us to local specialties and attractions. There are also two young ladies from Shanghai who took me to the No.8 carriage, played the Three Kingdoms Kill with friends, drank red wine and watched the young ladies' performances on the train. You know, the reflection can't even kill this baby, and the two little brothers patiently explained it to me. Looking back now, this is a good game! The performing ladies are very careful, changing their clothes one by one and dancing exotic dances, just like the princesses in the western regions. The carriage is like a lively little bar, with music, beer, buffet and poker. Young people far away from the city are laughing and making noise …

? The train is always the starting point of fate. It happened that my brother Liang and two sisters were in the same car with me. They come from Beijing Jingbing Strong Team, and they are both brothers and sisters. We had a good chat together. Eating together, drinking Pu 'er, teasing each other, discussing reading, being a star … leisurely! I like this feeling. I have confirmed my eyes. They are all lovely people!

I slept till dawn, wrapped my little cotton-padded jacket tightly, and finally arrived in Dunhuang! The beautiful Dunhuang scenery can sweep away the fatigue of the journey, store my luggage, pack myself up and start my one-day trip to the west!

Huang Du ancient city ruins

? Now it has become the largest film and television shooting base in western China. Miss Jie, the commentator, said that she had made more than 20 movies and TV series, such as Dunhuang and The Heroes of the Condor.

The ringing bells in the streets add a bit of mystery to this ancient city. Because it is morning, the baby without long trousers is shivering in the cold wind …

Yangguan site

? Sincerely advise friends to drink a glass of wine, and it is difficult to meet their loved ones when they go out to Yang Guan in the west. It seems that I saw Xin Qiji's "Soldiers on the Autumn Battlefield", and Wang Wei sent Yuaner's special envoy Anxi ... You take your Yangguan Road, and I will visit my wooden bridge and Yangguan Site. As a checkpoint in Hexi Corridor, the ancients left the country after getting the customs clearance documents. There are snow-capped mountains in the distance and beacon towers nearby. Gobi is boundless, magnificent and charming ... It is the first time to experience the arid climate of warm temperate desert, shivering in the morning and sunny in the afternoon, and it feels mysterious!

Yumen Pass

? The sky is gray, the wilderness is boundless, the wind blows grass and the cattle and sheep are low ... Yumenguan, a world cultural site in Pan Xiaofang,/kloc-fertile land of geomantic omen more than 0/000 years ago, the Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and Wan Ren Mountain is an isolated city. The creator's power is infinite, and the once great rivers have dried up, only the spring water is seen …

Ya Dan Geopark

? Ya Dan National Geopark, commonly known as the ghost town of Ya Dan in Dunhuang, has formed various unique Ya Dan landforms due to perennial wind erosion. There is no vegetation in the world of Nuoda, only these rocks stand proudly, make friends with time, and live into the shape they want.

? The sun here is like a naughty child, sometimes hiding behind the hill, revealing its huge head, but still can't stop the radiant pouring. The sun is shining, and everything is covered with a golden coat. Walking in the desert Gobi is naturally the best polishing board.

? Seven o'clock is the best time to enjoy the sunset. The so-called long river sets the yen, which is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. On the winding road, the sunset is a generous and undisguised young man, saying goodbye to us. Although the tour guide has warmly reminded not to chase the sun, some people are stubborn, just to capture the most beautiful sun. Yes, even I have to go back step by step …

? Here, I am really satisfied! However, when I was resting on my way back, I looked up and caught a glimpse of the beautiful starry sky!

? The Milky Way and the Big Dipper, which are clearly visible to the naked eye, and the vast starry sky, seem to tell one mysterious story after another, and people who watch it are fascinated ...

? I met my roommate Xiuyu in Shazhou Night Market, and returned to the hotel after dinner. The day's trip ended successfully.

? On the 2 nd, the day of the sign-in and expedition ceremony on foot in Dunhuang. After a long journey, in order to save my strength, I plan to go into battle light. In the morning, I made an appointment with Zhang Ye's sister Shi Ling and Zoe from Xiamen to see the Dunhuang Museum. Sister Shi Ling is two years younger than my mother. The whole person looks full of energy! Because she has been to Dunhuang three times, she enthusiastically introduced us to the special products of Raiders and her own stories along the way. I have a lovely daughter of 18 years old. Colleagues and family members who insisted on running at first were not optimistic, but they persisted and affected the people around them. A girl in her 40 s has amazing learning ability! Write articles, make videos, use mind maps, and do everything! At the end of the expedition ceremony in the evening, a mind map came out clearly and was summarized in place, which was praised by everyone. I am ashamed of this attitude that I can't learn without learning! The three of them took photos happily in front of the museum, so we started a tour of the museum …

? A group of 10 people assembled temporarily, and the tour guide explained the whole process. Combined with the development of the Silk Road in different dynasties, we saw the literature of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes (namely 17 Cave) and the cultural relics unearthed from tombs in the Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, including silk brocade, silk, yarn, Luo and other physical objects. The fog in Dunhuang seems to be pushed away by layers …

? At noon, the trio of friends became a group of nine, all of whom were brothers and sisters. We got together because of the delicious food in Dunhuang. In a desert Populus euphratica stew cake shop, we tasted many local specialties.

? The mutton offal soup in the middle is super delicious, fresh but not greasy, and it is very comfortable to eat in a bowl! There is also a hand-torn barbecue mutton platter in the middle, which is much more delicious than the barbecue in the wooden house. Who let me be a carnivore? Hahahaha …

? If life is just like the first time, the donkey friends in Gobi are close. You are Zhangye, Xiamen, Xinjiang, and I am Xiamen, Shanghai and Guangzhou. They are all my brothers and sisters, drinking tea in a big bowl, eating meat in a big mouth and chatting happily …

? In the afternoon, I met Shi Ling's sister Gui Qiang and Yu Ming's brother to "see Dunhuang again", which was a super tearful and shocking experience!

Look at Dunhuang again is a large-scale situational experience drama directed by Wang Chaoge. I entered the scene stage experience of walking and watching, and made four transitions, corresponding to different stories of historical figures.

First of all, the venue was arranged like a catwalk, and all historical figures appeared, from Suo Jing, the general of the Western Jin Dynasty, to Chang Shuhong, the first president of Dunhuang Research Institute. It seems that after a thousand years, money has come ... With the white sand pouring down like a curtain, we began to listen to their stories.

? When I heard the dialogue between Wang and Bodhisattva, I was in tears ... The Taoist priest in this evil industry always stooped, his facial lines were distorted, and endless pain was clearly visible. After watching the documentary "Dunhuang" on the train, the world knows that he has been guarding a Buddha cave all his life. He opened the most important door of Dunhuang culture, but he had no choice but to sell China treasures to foreign thieves at low prices.

? "Don't ask, don't ask. How did I know this would happen? I have to do this. " Taoist Wang gave it. Everyone blushed at night, carrying boxes of scriptures and comforting themselves over and over again: "If you blush, your ancestors will disown me, and if you blush, the Bodhisattva will disown me?"

? In the center of the venue, Taoist Wang began to repent and apologize to the bodhisattvas who were transported away. He staggered to his knees at the bodhisattva's feet, but begged the audience: "I am just a nobody." Please do me a favor and help me turn a page! "

? The bodhisattva sticking out of the high wall, like mother earth, expressed her understanding of this "child" over and over again, and her gentle voice circled.

? "Son, I will always be there,

? I am in your morning, I am in your night,

? When I was twelve years old, when I was forty-eight years old,

? I want to see you get married, and I want to see your baby born.

? When you are away, I will kiss her little face and dry the tears on your face.

Let me tell you, what are you afraid of? I am here to bless you. ...

I forgive you, son. I never left.

I am your heaven.

I am your wheat field.

I am the blue sky in your wheat field ... "

Seeing tears here … because of understanding, so tolerance, because of understanding, so compassion. All beings suffer like ants, and we are all guilty. This all-encompassing Buddha nature, like a radiant light, illuminates all the darkness. Nothing is unforgivable, and nothing is unacceptable. The world of mortals is the best place to cultivate one's morality. It's hard to live up to heaven, kneel down to the ground and have no regrets all your life. But no matter how difficult it is, we will do it!

? The last stage is a theatrical arrangement, and the audience can sit down and watch the style on the stage.

? The characters reappear one by one, from the Han dynasty to the Tang dynasty ... the story of ups and downs, the moment of history, their emotions and their faces are reborn at this moment. Some of these people turned into bones on sandbars, some were carved on the walls of grottoes, and some were hidden in words.

"Han dynasty, has been buried under the sand,

? In the Tang Dynasty, it was buried under the sand.

? General, painter, has been buried under the sand;

? Businessmen and monks buried deep in the sand,

? Once noisy, it turned into A Qiang flute;

? Once prosperous, it turned into a cup of yellow sand.

? At the end of the performance, the young scholar talked with the poet Wang Wei.

? "One year, how long? But for a moment;

? Life, how long, but a moment;

? A thousand years, how long is it? "

? The poet replied, "Just a moment. As soon as spring went, winter came, and a thousand years passed.

With Huang Qishan's "A Moment", it is meaningful. I choked up under the stage, too. Yes, life is just a moment! Wang Chaoge once said that the Mogao Grottoes will one day be broken like heavy sand. Everything will eventually return to dust and silence, and everything will eventually disappear. What is left?

? …
