Chapter 14 Ningxia

Helan Mountain

Looking back at history, the ancient Xixia Dynasty met Xiao Se's back unexpectedly.The endless worries about the country and the people, the endless twists and turns, stop at the foot of Helan Mountain, and become the low but majestic patriotic motto in "Man Jianghong".Ningxia is moving people with rivers and inspiring people with rivers.You know, I know, on that day, when the old mountains and rivers are reclaimed, you and I will climb up the fence again and enjoy the wine.

Approaching step by step, resisting the surge in the heart, looking up boldly when the flying sand hits the face, chewing the aura of Changhong in the water, wood and Qinghua.

In Mongolian, "Helan" means "a galloping horse", and the stretching mountains of more than 200 kilometers seem destined to appear as guardians.If it were not for its barrier, the Tengger Desert in the north would invade Ningxia wantonly.Therefore, people often say that the Yellow River nourishes this plain, but if there is no Helan Mountain, this place will lose all its vast and rich colors.

Helan Mountain, walking all the way from the Xixia Royal Tombs here, the nostalgic feeling naturally reminds people of Yue Fei and his "Man Jianghong".

Helan Mountain has a unique terrain. It stands majestically on the boundary line of the three major deserts of Tengger, Ulanbu and Mu Us.This is "the guarantee of Shuofang, the throat of the desert". If they want to get to the Central Plains, the nomads must pass through here.In this way, this is a natural battleground for military strategists, where iron cavalry churned, howled, and the moon hung high and sighed.Such a scene crosses the mind and emerges into the imagination.

You can see the majestic blue sky from a distance.In the towering and straight, the mountains stand proudly.Under the setting sun, there is a faint smoke in the distance, as if thousands of troops are galloping.If you use "beauty" to describe this mountain, it is bound to be so beautiful that it makes people tremble.The dark outlines, the rolling shadows, spread out on the left and right of the horizon, and the breathing becomes cramped instantly. It is a kind of aesthetic feeling that makes breathing awkward, transcending all sensual rhetoric.

The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun is setting in the long river.The boundless Gobi desert lives and dies against the desolation, but in the Helan Mountains in Xixia, the mountains are still verdant and the water is still trickling.This unique one is just like a blue mixed with thousands of flowers in the world of mortals, which makes people full of infinite reverie.

"Helan Mountain is like a cloud, and the feathers are heard in the evening. The three rivers recruit young people, and the five edicts give out the generals." Looking at the vivid verses in history, the mountain, along with these verses, blended together history.

Helan Mountain Rock Paintings There are 12 rock painting spots on Helan Mountain.Most of the petroglyphs are concentrated near the valley.The distribution of petroglyphs obviously follows the features of the landform.From Suyukou to Daxifenggou, the petroglyphs are mostly distributed in the mountains.From the south of Suyukou to Liuqukou, there are few mountain rock paintings.On the desert steppe, there are basically no petroglyphs.

Liupan Mountain

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, looking at the flying geese in the south.If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero.

On the peak of Liupan Mountain, the red flag is rolling in the west wind.Changying is in hand today, when will you tie Canglong?

——Mao Zedong's "Qingpingle Liupan Mountain"

The standing of Liupan Mountain shows a certain attitude of no hesitation.It is a bit stubborn, willing to give up lingering with Jingshui for the sacred mission; it is a bit dull, although it is a landscape, it always forgets to groom.However, if you are not stubborn, how can you build up tenacity?If it weren't for the dullness, how could the simplicity and unpretentiousness make people feel grateful?
Liupan Mountain, as one of the youngest mountain ranges in China, with an altitude of 3000 meters and a meander of [-] kilometers, shows the iron bones.The mountain road of Liupan Mountain is winding and narrow, and the peak can only be reached after going through six layers of winding roads, and its name comes from this.It has a majestic momentum, but it never shows off.As a natural barrier of the Guanzhong Plain and an important watershed in the north, it has never been ostentatious. "There is no midsummer in spring and autumn" is people's praise for it. The beauty of "the sea of ​​clouds, the sunrise and the clouds" attracts people to wait and see.

Although he is a tough guy, he has a beautiful scenery.When Genghis Khan conquered Xixia, he used to escape the summer heat and recuperate here. Although he died of illness here, Liupan Mountain has won the reputation of a summer resort.The comfort of Liangdian Gorge, the comfort of Hehuagou, the legend of the swing frame, there are always unexpected gains when traveling.

Liangdian Gorge is also called Liangtian Gorge, as the name suggests, because of its coolness.Liangdian Gorge, located deep in the Grand Canyon in the hinterland of Liupan Mountain, has a total length of more than 2 kilometers.Here, there are not only the ruins of Genghis Khan’s summer palace, but also ecological botanical gardens and other landscapes.In the botanical garden, rare species dance in it, from trees to flowers, from flowers to animals, from animals to poultry, there are countless species.

It seems that only such a name is qualified to grow in such a mountain.Erlong River, just by reading the name, one can feel that there must be extraordinary legends in it.According to legend, the eldest son of the Dragon King of Jinghe abused the Dragon Girl of Dongting Lake and was beaten up by the Dragon King of Qiantang. Because he was ashamed of everyone, he went to the ghost gate deep in the Erlong River to cultivate himself.His younger brother inherited the throne, and often visited his elder brother at the gate of ghosts, urging him to reflect on his words and deeds in time.Thus, the name Erlong River came into being.At the same time, because this is the place where the two rivers meet, the natural landscape of lush forests and bamboos is even more beautiful.

In the beautiful lotus garden, you can always enjoy the natural landscape of flying butterflies and verdant trees. From May to August every year, the green lotus leaves are full of lotus flowers, and there are countless floral fragrances, which are delightful.

A seemingly low-key mountain, but hides a lot of beautiful scenery.Perhaps, this is the inherent posture of Liupan Mountain.
