This is an infinite plateau and this is a magnificent land. It deeply locked the eternal mystery of Guge, created a variety of soil forests, bathed in the holy light of holy mountains and lakes. It is so magical, dreamy and charming …
In fact, this land closest to the blue sky and the sun has long been regarded as the center of the world by the believers of Yongzhong Buddhism and even Hinduism.
This center refers to Gangrinboqi, the main peak of Gangdise stretching for thousands of miles. Gangrinboqi, Tibetan means "the treasure of snow mountain" or "the snow saint". According to legend, the Holy Mountain of Gangdise is the holy place where 80 million talents were born, and it is also the holy place where Buddhism spread in the 80 million-person Western Emory or the Western Elysium. It is the geographical and cultural center of Shanbu, the birthplace of primitive religion and Buddhism where Tubo and Xiangxiong were born in China, and the hometown of Benbo Buddhism in Yongzhong.
Qi Bo, Ren Gang is a well-known mountain in the world, and Yongzhong Benjiao is the primitive Buddhism of Tibetans. Happiness from suffering, peace in the world, saving the suffering and helping all sentient beings are the best treasures of all sentient beings. Numerous historical records prove that this mountain is a big mountain of Buddhism, Buddhism and Buddhism. It is said that the most famous Mount Sumi in Buddhism also refers to it. According to the Buddhist dictionary: Mount Sumi, the name of a mountain, is also the center of a small world. During the period of Guxiang Kumamoto Buddhism, Gangren Boqi was called the "Nine Heaven Mountain", and it is said that there were 360 immortals living here in Yongzhong Benbo. Fortunately, Rao Miwo, the founder of Yongzhong Benjiao, descended from the sky to become a Buddha, and this mountain was the landing site.
According to the records in ancient books, such as Wang Tong Ji in Tibet and Duo Dui, Buddha Shenrab Mivo, the elephant king, reformed the original Bonism in the past and founded the Yongzhong Benjiao, which is called the oldest ancient elephant Buddhism in Tibet. Shenrab Mivo first created the character Xiang Xiong, and taught the "Five Disciplines of Ming Dynasty": engineering skills (technology), acoustics (linguistics), medicine, alienation (astronomy) and Naiming (Buddhism).
So, what kind of civilization is the ancient elephant male civilization? The author once wrote in Ladakh: British prank, the first territory occupied by China! Today's India and Zhan mentioned the origin of civilization between Ladakh and the ancient elephant kingdom;
According to the historical research of Tibetan population, the population of Xiangxiong should be no less than100000 according to the proportion of the army. Later, Tubo gradually rose on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and in the 8th century, it completely conquered the ancient country of Xiangxiong. Since then, Xiangxiong culture has gradually disappeared. The documents of ancient religions in Tibet are called "Xiangxiong Code" by experts.
The genealogy of Tubo King Ming Jian records: "From Nie Chizamp to Zeng Jietuozan, the 26th century was protected by this teaching." At that time, the classics of this teaching were mainly written in ancient Xiang Xiong characters. Archaeological discoveries in recent years have proved that the ancient elephant-male civilization is the real source of Tibetan civilization.
Xiang Xiong's royal family was named "Tingge", a clan name in ancient Tibet, and the legend originated from the gods. "Tang Yao Hui" was written by the Qiang people of the same country, saying that "his Wang Xing is Brother Jiang", and the transliteration of the word "Jiang" is wrong, which is the same as the royal family name "Ting Ge" recorded in Tibetan historical materials. It shows that Xiangxiong and Tubo belong to the same school.
According to the Records of Snow Mountain, Nie Chizanbu, the ancestor of the Tubo royal family, had 18 generations of kings of Peng Yong before and after his birth. They are Chiwei, Silun, Gebei, Lezhaguge, Junyamukuo, Jilegguge, Jie Jun, Niro Viya, Dalangsiji, Zamati, Duibai, Lieweijie and Xie Jun. All the kings of the above eighteen generations decorated the left and right sides of the crown with Dapeng birds, and so did their gods. In addition, the word elephant male and other small places in China are named after Dapeng bird. It can be concluded that elephants worship Dapeng bird and take Dapeng bird as their totem.
The ancient Xiangxiong civilization experienced Xiangxiong Kingdom, Tubo Dynasty and Guge Dynasty, which gave birth to a mysterious and splendid Tibetan civilization. This far-reaching, long-standing, profound civilization is connected in series with the spread of "eternal education" as the main line.
According to the researchers, to understand Tibetan civilization, we must first understand Xiangxiong civilization; To study Tibetan Buddhism, we should also study Bonism first. Bonism occupies a supreme position in the traditional culture of ancient elephants. It is the oldest Buddhism in Tibet, the oldest Buddhism in human history and the general source of all Buddhism.
Bonism is based on the theories of Xian Zong, Tantric Sect and dzogchen, and on the conversion to the Three Treasures. It helps the world and saves people, guides people to do good, and has its own Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism, Jainism and even Hinduism are all influenced by it. This is why Qiangtang is regarded as the center of the world where the gods are located!
Where God is, pure human beings will be born. Qiangtang has the largest no-man's land in China, but it is not uninhabited. There are still devout Tibetan herders living here in the south.
In Qiangtang, I met a herdsman celebrating the festival. They drank wine to their heart's content. They sang and danced, and their melodious songs lingered in their ears for a long time. In Qiangtang, I also met the most devout pilgrimage team. People stretch, crawl on the ground and move forward together, no matter one year, two years or three years, no matter the scorching sun, strong wind, rainstorm and hail.
Qiangtang Tibetans believe in animism. If someone wants to kill the creatures who live with Tibetans in Qiangtang, he is a sinner who violates the beliefs of his ancestors. Pilgrimages in the distance raised their hands, the bodies fell, and the silent grassland echoed with the sound of knocking on the earth.
In Qiangtang, there is an old Tibetan folk song:
Qiangtang people are very hospitable. When there are guests, or festivals, religious activities, weddings, horse races, and even the first birdsong and thunder in spring, people will try their best to have a rich family dinner.
People in Qiangtang generally eat highland barley, wheat and peas, and the wild plants that eat the most are ginseng fruit and yellow mushroom. Often eat dairy products are yogurt and milk residue. Usually drink tea five times a day, that is, morning tea, afternoon tea, evening tea and bedtime tea, and eat three meals. In the long summer or busy grazing season, you will eat four meals. Grab some Baba when drinking morning tea and add some fine milk residue; Grab Baba at noon, plus yogurt, diced pork soup or hand-grabbed meat; Most people eat all kinds of porridge at night.
Every August 10 to June 16 (Tibetan calendar), Qiangtang will hold the largest grassland carnival-horse racing festival (that is, Qiaqing Horse Racing Art Festival in Qiangtang, Tibet). In the golden season of abundant aquatic plants, Qiangtang grassland is more beautiful and brilliant. The grassland is covered with layers of tents, so dense that it has become a tent city. Men, women and children wear holiday clothes.
The horse racing pageant (called "Reaching Poverty" in Tibetan) is full of masculine beauty, and the Congqinkado grassland is full of jubilant passion, which affects the hearts of millions of people. Horse racing is the main event of the whole jockey club, and there are other sports such as tug-of-war, basketball and football. In addition, the professional performances of art groups in various regions, folk art performances and costume performances in various counties, religious art performances in various temples, and Gesar rap are all enough to make people dizzying.
Pastoral herders watch all kinds of competitions and cultural performances during the day, and get together to sing and dance around the bonfire at night, making the whole grassland a colorful place, singing and laughing all night.
In addition to the Horse Racing Festival, April 15 of the Tibetan calendar is the birthday of Sakyamuni every year. According to legend, April in the Tibetan calendar is the Buddha calendar month, so it is called "Sagadawa". On this day, men and women, old and young, dressed in festive costumes, worship the Buddha and gather in Longwangtan Scenic Resort Scenic Area for boating, singing and dancing. Everyone's left hand, either holding the beads or pressing the warp wheel, keeps twisting the beads and shaking the warp wheel while walking, while the right hand holds a Ciba bag and a cedar branch under his arm. People keep saying, "Huh? Bamiyan ".
There has always been a legend among Tibetans in Qiangtang: It is said that there are three snow-capped mountains in the depths of Qiangtang, which are called "Paye", "No Night" and "Ibjueru". They are a family. Paye is his daughter's sleepless father, and Ibrahimovic is his sleepless mother. I finally married Tashi Snow Mountain in northeastern Japan. Because the daughter married far away from home, her parents were afraid that she would miss home, so they gave her seven Chinese kangba as a dowry. Since then, this animal named Zhongkangba has lived around Zhaqian Snow Mountain. Zhongkangba is Tibetan, which means "golden wild yak" (that is, golden wild yak).
Following the revelation of myth, the local people regard these golden wild yaks coming from the mountains as gods, believing that hunting them will bring bad luck, and even the bones of golden wild yaks who died naturally are forbidden to take home.
In the wild land of Qiangtang, creatures that can soar in the sky, run in the wilderness and swim in the lake can not help but make people feel awe.
In Qiangtang grassland, you can often see some free eagles hovering in the vast blue sky, swooping down from time to time, gliding on the ground at low altitude, staring for a while, and then flying to the depths of the wasteland, giving off a heavy breath, like an old heavy drum running in the wilderness, which is pure enough in the deepest part of Qiangtang.
How many kinds of plants, mammals, reptiles, birds and fish live in this biological paradise ... people have not yet fully counted them. According to the number, the three families in Qiangtang Nature Reserve are Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild donkey and wild yak. Among them, there are about 30,000 to 40,000 Tibetan antelopes, about 30,000 Tibetan wild donkeys and about 6,000 wild yaks.
These creatures can be seen in the hinterland of Qiangtang. Yak is the easiest animal to see in Tibet. They are always heavy and serene, with long hair hanging down to the ground, like the clothes of ancient military commanders. However, these creatures can always swim steadily on the rugged and gravel-covered land, enjoying the snow, forest and eternal wind there.
On the other hand, Tibetan antelopes are very alert. Under normal circumstances, we can only watch them spewing out from a distance on the horizon of the first snow, and tell them with their clever figures and beautiful flying posture that they are the masters of free life on the roof of this world.
The snow-capped mountains cross Qiangtang, and the glacier melt water on the mountain flows down conveniently, forming an intermittent inland river. At the end of the river, large and small lakes spread all over the Qiangtang Plateau, forming the most beautiful landscape of Qiangtang and nourishing the wetland elves on the plateau.
You can see red-spotted ducks, striped geese, red-billed gulls, black-necked cranes and other birds, as well as naked fish, naked carp, plateau fish and other plateau-specific fish.
In Qiangtang, a towering snowy plateau on the roof of the world, Xiangxiong culture reflects the whole Tibetan area with brilliant wisdom; Qiangtang people explore the mysteries and answers of life with nature with a pious and fearless human heart; No man's land, with a wild wild soul, is surging with the shocking vitality of other creatures in the forbidden area of life!
Divinity, humanity and wildness converge in Qiangtang, which makes this forbidden area of life known as "the most unique and horrible super wasteland on earth" extraordinarily rich and charming. It is an unparalleled treasure given to China by Mother Earth. If your adventures and fantasies only stay in the "Qiangtang no man's land", then you will lose half of Qiangtang!
