From the Joxi Zonglie Basin at the northern foot of bayan har, countless plateau springs and gurgling streams of the Yellow River have gathered, all the way eastward to the Zoige grassland in northwest Sichuan, where they meet the Baihe River, which has shown the magnificent true colors of the Yellow River. On the vast grassland with an average elevation of 36, the mother river of the Chinese nation seems so quiet and leisurely. Like a euphemistic pastoral song, it tells the tenderness of "Prince of the Yellow River" and "Princess Baihe" for a long time. They are tightly wound at the foot of numerous undulating plateaus and hills in the Tangke grassland, and it seems that they can't bear to leave, and they seem to want to turn back again ... The Yellow River coming from the east all the way is here, although it is so slow, although it is like that step by step.
Finally, she resolutely went north, leaving the world with the beautiful scenery of "the first bay of the Yellow River with nine twists" on the Tangke grassland in Zoige. Climbing up the hill on the shore, you can see as far as you can. The Yellow River heading north is like a soft ribbon, winding and cutting the grassland into countless rivers and crescent moons. In the sunshine on the plateau, the white clouds and grassland are reflected in the water, making it difficult to tell which is the blue sky and white clouds and which is the grassland river ... Among them are sheep, cattle and horses scattered all over the earth. Occasionally, the "flowers" sung by shepherds make this land seem quiet and holy. People's hearts are inadvertently purified, leaving you with infinite reverie, waves of flowers and grass fragrance unique to the grassland, the fatigue of life, the noise of the world ... All the grievances and enmities are gone at this moment. Everyone melts into nature. Even you will envy a fine horse, a sheep, a yak or a butterfly or a wild bee flying among the flowers in the grass, eating the rich, juicy and fresh grass. You can't help asking yourself: Who is the real master of nature?
An Amdo old man of about 6 years old, wearing a brand-new old sheepskin coat and riding a tall yak, floated slowly from the depths of the grassland. Naturally, casually and exaggeratedly, he leans on the yak's back, showing his arm tanned and shiny by the plateau sunshine, and his amiable face is full of deep wrinkles, and his mouth full of teeth almost falls off, which further sets off the outline of his square face. His arrival revealed another unique scenery of the grassland, as if it provided a perfect footnote for your innocent daydream-let you see the vastness of King Gelsall's epic flying over the earth for thousands of years, and let you listen to the footsteps along the way of the descendants of Dangxiang Qiang in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Tourists rushed to take photos with the old man, as if looking back at history and embracing the long years.
The huge C-shaped Gulf Stream in the First Bay of the Yellow River turns northward under a hill slope. Just in the ravine, there is a small Tibetan Buddhist temple-"Tangke Temple" (Tibetan name Suoke Tibetan Temple) and the First Bay of the Yellow River form a unique picture. The sound of chanting from afar has added a lot of mystery and elegance to the "First Bay".
Leave Tangke and go deep into Zoige grassland. The whole grassland is crisp, with green grass, flowers and fragrance, which is endless. The grass is dotted with countless small lakes, which are blue and trickle like ribbons, connecting countless lakes in series, so colorful and dazzling against the blue sky, white clouds and flowers and trees. The wild flowers in the mountains and plains, respectively, according to their respective flowering seasons, from the earliest purple wild chrysanthemum blooming in late April to the autumn chrysanthemum blooming in October. The flowers on the grassland compete with each other one after another in a well-defined way. Especially in July, August and September, walking in the ocean of flowers and young grass. It makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they have to linger and revel in it. What is particularly intoxicating is the milky fog in the morning, and the dew is about to drip. Under the irradiation of all kinds of Xiaguang, each one is crystal clear and shines with dazzling light. Golden pheasant, swan, hare, snow leopard, white-lipped deer, red deer, sika deer, brown bear, otter, lynx and forest musk deer live here or run across the strait. In the water of the Yellow River, lazy yellow croaker swims.
Zoige grassland is not only beautiful in scenery, but also rich in precious Chinese herbal medicines such as musk, cordyceps, Fritillaria, pilose antler and Saussurea involucrata. It is in this cornucopia that such as; More than 3 kinds of mineral resources such as peat, coal, iron, copper, uranium, manganese and gold. In particular, peat resources are extremely rich, with a distribution area of more than 2, square kilometers and a reserve of nearly 4 billion cubic meters, making it the largest peat storage place in the world.
There are many natural ponds of different sizes on the Gerdangba, the largest grassland in Zoige Grassland. The larger one is commonly known as Haizi, and the most fascinating one is the famous Huahu Lake. There are three adjacent Haizi on the Gerdangba grassland, the smallest one is called Cuoergan, the largest one is called Cuerreha, and Huahu is the middle one. She is like a bright pearl that landed on the earth, and a beautiful treasure given to the world by nature. Walking into Huahu, I had to fall in love with her at first sight, and suddenly I had a heartfelt infatuation. On the intoxicating blue lake, beautiful and attractive aquatic plants, reeds floating in the wind, and clear and blue sky, enchanting and colorful white clouds are reflected on the 3-acre lake, as if they were concentrated into a bright and incomparable flower. The dancing black-necked cranes, wild ducks, herons and many unknown waterfowl on the lake make this flower more full of vitality. Huahu Lake and many "Haizi" adjacent to it constitute the largest plateau wetland in China, and it is also a well-preserved natural ecological reserve. Wetlands are natural reservoirs on land, and have the reputation of "kidney of the earth". She is not only a guarantee of the abundant aquatic plants, but also plays a magical role in regulating the earth's climate. Beautiful homeland, a national first-class protected animal, black-necked crane and other rare birds.
The Gerdangba grassland is full of flowers, which makes people have a desire and impulse to lie in the fragrant grass, but they are worried about crushing these fresh and tender flowers. In fact, the grassland is not afraid of pressure, not afraid of stepping on it, and its vitality is extremely strong. Lying on the thick and soft grass, countless flowers accompany you quietly, looking at you with a smile, as if talking to people in a low voice. Looking up from afar, I only felt that the sky was short and the flowers were high. A thunderous pounding of hooves broke the silence, and started a flock of birds flying all over the sky. A group of horses hurried by the shepherd and galloped past with their hooves raised. This is the Hequ Horse, one of the three famous horses in China! (vii) The crush of overseas Chinese said that the crush was amazing. Horses, with their noses ringing, galloped across the boundless grassland. The grassland soon quieted down again, except for the occasional singing of birds. People have a broad, quiet, deep and mysterious feeling about the grassland. An awe-inspiring feeling arises from the heart ... A shepherd's black tent is dotted in the distance, and dark blue smoke rises in the afterglow of the setting sun. Twilight came so quickly. A moment ago, the earth was red with sunset glow, and soon it became deep and mysterious. It seems that the night is squeezed and condensed by the afterglow of the horizon. In the distance, those mountains that appear colorful and dancing in the daytime suddenly become majestic and solemn, making people feel so lonely and helpless.
As the night grew darker, the barking of Tibetan mastiffs came from a distance.
Looking up at the night sky in Zoige Plateau, it seems that you don't need a space telescope. You can see the stars all over the sky clearly, and the dazzling Big Dipper points the way for Nightcrawler. The stars all over the sky, like a huge brocade inlaid with jewels, are covered from the top of the head to the horizon. A howl of a wild wolf came from the distant night, which made people feel creepy and deeply returned to the embrace of true nature. It makes people appreciate the ancient life of human beings ...
Suddenly there is a star in the starry sky, which is getting brighter and brighter. It was not until pedestrians approached that they found that this was the light of the temple and the surrounding "Tawa". So this is the prestigious Namu town. This town is a combination of a town in the northwest of Sichuan and a town in the southwest of Gansu. Named after Namu Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist temple located in Gansu. Separated by a small river, there is also a well-known Tibetan Buddhist temple-"Geerden Temple" in Sichuan. It is said that this is the first temple in the 18th National Congress of the Yellow Sect. Because these two temples have their own long history and profound cultural background, and because they are the junction of Sichuan and Gansu provinces, they are known as the "Southern Fan Center" in ancient times, which makes this town famous in the whole Tibetan area and even the whole country. In the early morning, facing the morning glow, the Buddhist names of the two temples facing the north and the south rang long, and the cigarettes of "simmering mulberry" (worship of gods and sacrifices) curled up and filled the mountains and rivers. The magnificent temple stupa was integrated with the steep and mighty mountains, and its charm was reminiscent of the legendary Shangri-La, which made people realize the tolerance and humility of Buddhist culture. It makes people realize the true beauty of harmony in the world.
Looking back on the Zoige grassland, her vastness, her profundity, her variety, her beauty and richness, like a picture scroll, are deeply imprinted in my heart. She is not only like a ballad sung from generation to generation, but also like a beautiful girl who grew up drinking the milk of the Yellow River mother, which always affects me ... Her charm in spring, variety in summer, fullness in autumn and solemnity in winter are as clear as a dream, and more vague and hidden as a dream ...
