Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1937 Starry Sky
"As for my own books, The Origin and History of the Yi Nationality in Liangshan and Yi Inscriptions and Stone Inscriptions have been completed and are now undergoing paper review at Shu University. They can be published after they are approved."

"The remaining Bimo Sheepskin Book is equivalent to the Sikuquanshu of the Yi people. It is not something I can complete alone. Grandpa Chiri and I have completed the General Outline, Catalog, and General Rules. The rest will have to be filled in by cultural and historical workers from all over the country."

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Chi Ri has agreed. When Chi Xueli comes, he will take us to the 'Bimo Cave', which is the stone cave where they hide the scriptures, to take out the scriptures and give them to the Shu University Library for safekeeping."

"Congratulations, Brother Elbow." Jike Azi said with a smile, "Grandpa's treasure has finally been polished out by you."

"Grandpa Chiri's cautious attitude just shows how much he values ​​the Yi scriptures." Zhou Zhi said seriously, "I have no objection to this. On the contrary, I respect his ideas very much."

"We have almost sorted out the information outside the cave, and Grandpa Chi Ri knows me well enough. In other words, Zhou Zhi is a good comrade who has been tested and is completely worthy of being entrusted with this batch of information. That's why he opened the Bimo Cave to me. It's my honor."

The Yi people's records have experienced several catastrophes since the Qing Dynasty. For the safety of documents, successive Bimos began to hide the scriptures in the Bimo Caves deep in the mountains. The Bimo Caves are like grottoes for storing scriptures, and only a few Bimos of extremely high status know where they are.

And Jike Chiri is now the only person left who still knows where the Bimo Cave is.

After spending such a long time together, Lao Chi Ri had seen all the changes that Zhou Zhi had brought to Lianhe Township. In addition, the external information had been almost sorted out by the two of them, and there was indeed a practical need to reopen the Bimo Cave, so Jike Chi Ri finally agreed to this grand event.

However, Jikechiri did not plan to report it to the government first. His idea was to take Zhou Zhi and the documentary crew there first, record the hole-opening ceremony, and then hand the scriptures over to Zhou Zhi for processing.

Although his own son is the Party Secretary of Lianhe Township, Lao Chi Ri actually trusts Zhou Zhi much more than Tu Liangzhi. He would rather hand over the scriptures to this out-of-town college student than to his own son who can represent the government to a certain extent.

Then Zhou Zhi thought that Lao Chi Ri was right. He could run a special protection project through the Yu Tang Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation and hand it over to Shu University for safekeeping. This would be much more flexible than obtaining funding through national approval documents, and the funds would be more abundant.

Although these are still not the most important part of Zhou Zhi's studies, it is enough for everyone present, except Mai Xiaomiao, to know these.

The porridge base with blanched meat actually tasted quite good. Zhou Zhichao added some salt and chopped green onions to it and distributed it to everyone. Then he extinguished the campfire, leaving only the remaining charcoal and hot water, and then turned off the lights.

After the light dimmed, the starry sky appeared, and the longer people looked, the more stars they saw.

By the end, the sky was almost filled with dense stars, especially the Milky Way that passed obliquely across the sky, which appeared almost in a colorful posture here. Even when Zhou Zhi looked up in the Jiachuan Zihuai primeval forest, which was also free of light pollution, the starry sky he saw was not so bright and clear.

Daliang Mountain is a place with unique natural advantages. The air transparency is extremely high, there are many sunny days, and the latitude is very suitable. This is one of the reasons why the country set up a space base here.

The only thing that prevents people from appreciating the starry sky is the moon. Xichang is also called "Moon City". Sometimes the moonlight is too bright, which affects the appreciation of the starlight.

Therefore, the best days to enjoy the starry sky are when the moon is mostly covered, or even absent, like today. "It's so beautiful..." Everyone was attracted by the starry sky above the valley. Although enjoying the night sky has become a popular program for everyone since coming here, every time they look up at the sky, new feelings will rise from the bottom of their hearts.

Meteors flash across the sky from time to time. Even Mai Xiaomiao used to jump up and cheer for a long time when he saw one a few days ago, but now he is not surprised and just appreciates it quietly, because it is so easy to see meteors in Daliang Mountain. Almost as long as you look up and stare at it at night and persist for a while, you can see it.

“If making a wish to a shooting star will definitely come true, we can make a lot of wishes here in one night,” Zhou Zhi said, looking at the sky.

Everyone will smile knowingly, even if no one believes this statement, but every time they see a shooting star across the sky, they will inevitably be moved and make the best wish in their hearts.

"I didn't know there were so many stars in the sky before." Mai Xiaomiao said, "And the Milky Way, it turns out it really is like a river, so beautiful."

"That's right." Zhou Zhi stood up and took out the high-intensity flashlight: "Last time I promised to tell you the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and today I can do it."

These two stars are not difficult to find. Zhou Zhi turns on the flashlight and points it at the sky. The flashlight beam becomes a "pointing stick" to indicate the starry sky.

By moving the light column in the Milky Way, you can soon find a large and lifelike constellation located in the middle of the Milky Way with its wings spanning the entire Milky Way - Cygnus.

After finding the Cygnus constellation, we saw an unusually bright star on the swan's tail, called Deneb. Connecting a line between Deneb and the star at the joint of the swan's wings, we see another very bright star, Vega.

There is a parallelogram composed of four stars below Vega. In the west, this is called Lyra, and in the east, this parallelogram is Vega's shuttle.

On the other side of Cygnus, there is a bright big star between the line connecting Deneb and the star at the joint of the swan's lower wing and the extended line of the swan's body. There are two small stars of different brightness above and below the big star, forming an almost perfect straight line with the big star. This is the Cowherd and the pair of children he carries on his back.

These three stars are actually part of another Western constellation, Aquila, and belong to the flat tail of the Eagle.

The three big stars connected together are called the "Summer Triangle", which is the main coordinate system used to observe the summer sky.

Of course, the Summer Triangle is not only visible in summer. In fact, it can be seen all year round, but it spends the longest time in the summer.

In autumn, they appear early and disappear early. If you observe the autumn sky, you will see another "Autumn Triangle" and "Autumn Quadrilateral" that appear in the sky for a long time.

You may not be very familiar with the Western constellations during the Zhouzhi period, but the Autumn Quadrilateral is a Chinese astrology. The four stars are the one and two of Room and the one and two of Wall. As the names suggest, the ancients regarded these four stars as houses. It just so happens that after the farming season in autumn, they would repair the cracks in the walls of the houses and use the newly harvested straw to re-cover the roofs.

If these things are done well, people can spend the cold winter peacefully, so these four stars were also called "fixed stars" by the ancients.
