In this life, you are looking for a pure land, a wonderland of bliss, which always seems to attract you with infinite charm.
I don't know the size of China until Xinjiang, and I don't know the beauty of Xinjiang until Yili. This slogan of Yili was verified on the way back to Yili from Chengdu. When you break into Tamboura, Yili 100m Gallery, all the poems and artistic expressions are superfluous.
My hometown, beautiful Ili! Mother River-Yili River, you are like an inclusive mother, raising every inch of land in Yili with tolerance and assistance. I am like a cloud, drifting from east to west and from south to north. Wandering around is my destiny. Yili always stops me with its unique charm, and I want to find my pure land along its river. Along the Ili River, water and trees are the unique love of Ili people. The river runs along Yining City, Nilek County, xinyuan county, Gong Liu County, Tekes County, Zhaosu County, Chabuchar County and other counties and cities in the northwest, and the valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides. Beautiful snow-capped mountains nourish the vast grassland. We walk along the Ili River, and the forests, valleys, peaks, grasslands and cultural features of ethnic minorities along the way are unique and charming scenery of Ili.
It has been more than half a month since I returned to Yili, and the funds for the Juejue project have not been well solved. Whether it is packaging design, product resources, or docking channels such as markets and teams, there are many difficulties in every link, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will never give up easily. Honey is an indispensable product for you. Before you go back to Chengdu, you decide to meet this low-key black bee with a story on the grassland: Master Tian, you also want to explore the password of life on the grassland honey source black bee.
Mr. Lu Xun said: "If you study well, you will be an official. It takes many flowers to make honey. If you only stay in one place, your income will be very limited. " Nature is our best teacher, and it can give us thinking and enlightenment on life with its unique wisdom.
That day, I set out from Kokdala early in the morning and drove along the river bank along the 3 15 national highway to Tamboura Hive. This one
The scenery on the road made me stretch. Speaking of it, this is my second time to go to Tamboura to plant a bee farm, and my mood is self-evident. The first time was in May, 20 15, and our team also went to Nilek Bee Farm. The charming scenery outside the window completely pulls you from a real world to a fairy tale world. That yellow-green grassland, layered hills, occasionally a few horses, cattle and sheep walking around on the blue grassland, they are slowly eating grass. This is a pure world, an unforgettable world. When you reach the grassland again, you are wrapped in all the beautiful things again. Nilek county, as if you have deep feelings for it. There are not only charming natural scenery here, but also the cultures of all ethnic groups wrap the grassland, which makes it form the unique cultural characteristics of Nileke County. In the mountainous area of Nilek County, there are at least 3 1 ethnic minorities such as Han, Uygur, Kazak, Hui, Mongolia, Xibe, Uzbek and Russia. Usually, you can see some ethnic minority villages on both sides of expressway, where people wear different ethnic costumes.
Curiosity about everything is like a love of culture. You always stop in charming colors and record all the scenery with your camera. Driving from Ili to Nilek County, and then starting from Nilek County, along the Kashgar River downstream, there are countless scenery along the way, not far from the Kashgar River flowing from Tianshan Mountain, across the Tamboura grassland. Walking into the grassland is like entering a paradise. Walking along this river, Kashgar River flows on this picturesque grassland, and Tianshan Mountain still overlooks the snow-covered land, just like that eternal gesture, stable and calm. Ling Xue spruce is the highest vegetation on the slopes of Tianshan Mountain. Together with the grassland, it forms a landscape of forest and grass blending.
Although National Highway 3 15 is under construction, you still enjoy the grassland on the bumpy road. Many times in life, that's all. There is light and darkness. Since darkness and light are the same, why not experience and read the book of life in an elegant manner? Perhaps, some stories in this book may make you helpless or may surprise you. In any case, you are a reader walking in the book.
"We borrowed their way, so we must be polite." This is a natural civilization. You see the cattle and sheep walking on the road are very polite to you. They have the same unique etiquette as you, which makes you feel unprecedented happiness and happiness. It's more than 200 kilometers to Tamboura Hive. It's three or four hours' walk, but you just walked seven hours to get to the hive. Tamboura Bee Farm, a small town, is quiet and noisy, but it carries the development of a black bee industry in Yili, Xinjiang, and the diligence and wisdom of Nilek people. Every time I come here, I get unprecedented peace of mind. When I met Mr Tian, the founder of Black Bee Co., Ltd., he had been waiting for me for a long time. I haven't seen you for years, and the industry of the elderly is getting bigger and bigger. When the economic situation was bad, his Tamboura company grew bigger and bigger, with three or four-story high-rise buildings, design and development centers and exhibition centers standing in front of him. When the old man saw that I had arrived, he happily invited me to his office for tea and took out honey to entertain me.
The black bees in Yili are distributed in Yili, Tacheng and Altay in northwest Xinjiang. Black bees are big, black in color, strong in reproduction, weak in bees, cold-resistant and disease-resistant, and belong to one of the four largest bees in the world. It is an excellent black bee strain (ecotype) which has been proved by long-term production practice to adapt to the local harsh climate and honey source characteristics, and is a valuable bee seed resource in China.
The old man in front of him is over seventy years old, but he is still full of energy. He is the most pragmatic old-timer among the Xinjiang enterprises I have cooperated with in recent years. A few years ago, when I wanted to advertise and promote Tamboura honey, the old man was stubborn. He said he wouldn't do these things. If you eat honey, you can tell me, as long as I keep honey and serve customers well, the rest is superfluous. He doesn't advertise, his philosophy is to make good products and all customers will keep coming! At that time, the team also felt that the old people were old-fashioned and had no new Internet thinking and brand concept. Until I came to Tamboura Black Bee again, many enterprises were teetering in the vicious competition, but he was as steady as Mount Tai.
I haven't seen you for three years. The old man warmly called me Xiao Luo. Asked me how I was doing now, I told him that my life experience in recent years had also encountered many bumps. This time, I also came to seek cooperation and ask questions. Looking at me in front of him, he still kept a friendly smile, then picked up all kinds of Tamboura black honey on the table and said to make me a cup of Tieguanyin honey tea that I had never drunk before. I said, this is the first time I've heard that honey and good tea taste each other and lose their original natural taste. He said you'll know when you drink it. So, he brought me a cup of unique Tieguanyin black honey tea, and I drank it. The astringent, sweet natural fragrance of tea invades the lips from the throat. You feel the unique taste of hierarchy, bitter and sweet. The old man said with a smile, see if this is your bowl of tea.
Looking at the old man, I feel an unprecedented strength. At present, this 70-year-old man patiently tells me about his business management. He said that if you do one thing well and specialize in everything, you will succeed. Too much ambition and desire will take away your energy. Through decades of precipitation, he has maintained his unique style of doing things. I visited the old man that year and learned from the beekeeper in the beehive that the old man is a legend. He has worked hard in business for many years and has tens of millions of dollars. Later, his son's car accident made him lose his love and direction in life. He squanders all day, wasting his time on gambling and playing cards. Later, I lost all my assets and calmed down for many years, feeling that I should not lose my life. In 2008, he went to a beekeeping farm and began to raise black bees, and began to re-establish new life goals.
He told me to continue drinking tea and tell me the wisdom of black bees. It said, you see, we humans are sometimes not as good as the animals and plants in nature. Take our black bees for example. You see, it is hardworking. As long as there are flowers, there are bees. They work for more than ten hours from sunrise to sunset every day. The labor paid by bees is amazing. It is estimated that bees need to fly 360,000-450,000 kilometers to brew 1 kg honey, which is equivalent to flying 8- 1 circle around the equator of the earth, and bees collect pollen. They need to visit -80-200 flowers every time they go out, and can only bring back about 15 mg of two pollen balls. If they want to collect one kilogram of pollen, bees need to go out and collect more than 66,000 times, and it is even more difficult for bees to collect propolis. Each bee colony can only produce about100g of propolis a year. However, the queen bee of Ili Black Bee has strong oviposition ability and steep breeding rhythm. The results of two-year breeding period showed that the average daily spawning amount was 1, 1, 8 1, and the highest was 2680. The old man looked at me and said with a smile, how much do you think a little bee has to pay to give us sweetness?
Of course, a species can be so hardworking and intelligent, and it also encounters many difficulties in survival.
By 1926, the black bee in Yili is also the gospel of us Ili people, although it has also experienced the wind and rain of this grassland. It is a symbol of friendship. At that time, Russians were brought into Yili, Xinjiang from Kazakhstan in Asia. One of them was Stefan Kandnod (кндновотс), and he brought in only a dozen black bees. Yili grassland is rich in plants, suitable for climate and high in honey yield. In addition, Russians like to eat honey, and the black bees brought in quickly spread among Russians in Yining City, and gradually expanded to Uighurs and Kazaks.
Black bees also survived, and the story of bears eating honey is widely circulated in Xionggou Scenic Area of Tamboura Grassland. In the 1960s and 1970s, every time honey was collected, the bears on the mountain would touch the beehive when the beekeeper was not at home. Two big bear paws rushed to the river with the beehive in their arms, sank the beehive into the river, and took out the beehive ten minutes later. Almost all the black bees with tyrannical temper died, and the bears could comfortably enjoy the black honey.
Whether smart bears eat honey with wisdom or Ili black honey growing on the grassland of Tamboura, they all give us thoughts with their unique wisdom of diligence and unity. In Yili, the unique geographical environment and grassland living space give the black bee the wisdom to survive. When the mainland bee farm did not enter Yili to release bees, black bees did not find pests and diseases. After bee farms in the mainland were put into Xinjiang, black bees began to be infected with larval diseases, paralysis diseases, bee mites and other diseases, but black bees were resistant to diseases. Even after several hardships, they survived tenaciously in the Ili Valley, which has continued to this day.
He told me and invited me to have tea.
He said, I like to walk into the grassland, into the bee farm, into the buzzing world to feel the life of bees. They are not only hardworking, kind, United and friendly, but also know how to survive. At the altitude of 1800 m to 2500 m, they have to use their lives to collect all kinds of herbs and turn them into honey, and even die to get a harmony. Especially in the season of food shortage, they always give the queen bee and the little bee what they have in their bodies, so when we see bees starving in the bee farm, they always starve together. In the face of foreign invasion, the little bee shows extraordinary courage and always rushes to the enemy, even if it dies with the enemy. Therefore, the perfection of everything, the life world of nature, and knowing how to balance and dedicate ourselves are also places that we humans need to learn.
For so many years, it is meaningful for us to make the products of Tamboura Black Bee well. You know the black bee, the culture it conveys, its unique wisdom and the nourishment of hundreds of flowers and plants in Tamboura prairie. In this environment, you can have your own exhibition space and contribute your life to mankind. This is also the spirit of honey culture that we learn. People need to look at themselves in nature.
Indeed, I learned wisdom from bees. I also learned about the survival and life thinking of all things in the grassland world. When I walked out of this grassland, I saw another world. That unique afternoon, the old man treated me to tea for a while, and then took me to eat the most distinctive beef in the area. He is more like an old friend. Every time I go, it is also my blessing to let me accompany him to drink a few glasses of wine, talk about honey and talk about the hardworking and persistent beekeepers in Yili.
If you can walk into the bee farm and the grassland of Tamboura in this life and feel the wisdom of black honey once, it will be a life without regrets. That afternoon, my car was driving on the quiet asphalt road, cattle and sheep occasionally passed by, and beekeepers took good care of the black bees on the roadside grass. When I saw them guarding the grassland day and night and focusing on hardworking bees, my heart was filled with incomparable respect. Some people say that honey has created wisdom and wealth for mankind, while others say that honey has contributed a lifetime. They depend on each other and survive. I have been there many times, but it is difficult to understand the wisdom of this land in words. I stand on the vast grassland, looking at the distant land, green grassland, winding road wrapped in a beekeeper and a group of hardworking bees, and I am so small.
Tamboura, beautiful Tamboura! I am like an unnecessary intruder and can't adapt to this land.
How many times, the old man said, why not rent a yard to create here? There are infinite possibilities and wisdom to keep you quiet, and they are calling you to wake up from a deep sleep. But whenever I stand on this poetic grassland, I always have tears in my eyes. I really want to find the law of survival and live a carefree life in a quiet village. Just live and die together, I have no chance to meditate. I always lost my true colors in that kind of "greed". Standing there, I felt infinitely: "You are afraid, you are afraid, you are afraid that your impure heart will pollute this pure land;" You are afraid, you are afraid, you are afraid to disturb this peace; You are afraid, you are afraid that you can't stand tears and forget to escape. You look at it affectionately, shake your head countless times, have no companion in this life, and come back to be a cow and a horse in the afterlife ... "
On the way back to Yili from Tamboura Bee Farm, I walked into the grassland, into the gallery, into the place where black bees were flying, and I saw Kazakh herders riding horses, red huts and green grasslands, and I saw my insignificant self. Along the way, I was thinking about Tian's words and his life path. A person only focuses on one thing in his life, and it is great for you to do one thing well. In this course of life, the suffering and waiting we have experienced are worthwhile, just like the black bees introduced from Russia, which have experienced many storms. "This world is like this. There is no right choice at all, we just have to work hard to make the original choice correct. " You see the blue grassland, cattle and sheep grazing freely, you see the yurts under the kitchen smoke, and on a pure grassland, you walk away like a white cloud. You put down your cell phone, start the car and drive to another road of no return. On this grassland in vast expanse, you think of the road that the American poet Robert Frost didn't take:
There are two roads in the yellow forest.
Unfortunately, I can't participate at the same time.
I stood at that intersection for a long time,
I looked at a road that I could see,
Until it disappeared into the jungle.
But I chose another path,
It is lush, lonely, more charming and more beautiful;
Although there are few travelers' footprints on this path.
There were fallen leaves all over the ground that morning, and neither road was polluted by footprints.
Ah, leave a way, see you another day!
But I know it's a long way to go, and I'm afraid I can't go back.
Maybe in a few years, somewhere,
I will look back with a sigh: two roads diverged in a forest-
And I chose the one with less interpersonal relationship, which decided my life path from now on.
