Pishan County is located in the southern part of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the southern edge of Taklimakan Desert and the northern foot of Karakorum Mountain. It borders Hotan County and Mo Yuxian in the east, Yecheng County in the west, India and Pakistan, the actual control area of Kashmir, in the south and Mohammad County and bachu county in the north. It is a border county with Uighurs as the main body and Han, Tajik, Kirgiz and other ethnic groups 12, with a border line of 54.5 kilometers and a distance of 0/800 kilometers from Urumqi, the capital.
? Pishan county has a long history. Founded in the 28th year of Guangxu, it was named after an ancient country. Uighurs call Pishan County "Guma" (Uighur transliteration), and its meaning is still uncertain. There are several sayings such as "hut", "cage" and "suspicious place". Interpretation of the Western Regions: "It is doubtful. After the locals became Muslims, some people fled, so they were named after them. "
Pishan is an ancient name in the Western Han Dynasty. Notes on Xinjiang Atlas: Han and Pishan lands. About three centuries ago, Pishan was one of the 36 western regions along the Tarim Basin. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was annexed by the State of Khotan and then rebuilt. In the Three Kingdoms, it was a country of learning, and in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a country of Pushan.
Although Pishan County is a remote town located in the northwest border of the motherland, its economy is backward. However, it is in this barren land that it has unique local specialties and high quality, and it is the treasure of visiting relatives and friends at home. The main specialties are Kunlun snow chrysanthemum, sweet pomegranate, yam and so on.
? Saussurea involucrata is a traditional natural health care plant in Uygur, which is called "Gulichan" in Uygur language. "Guli Tea Sound" has been in full bloom in Karakorum Mountain for thousands of years. She proudly resists the frost in the ice peak cliff and absorbs the aura of heaven and earth. The flowers are dazzling golden yellow, with brown buds in the middle and branches about 35 cm high. Every branch is blooming with flowers in the snow, just like a girl who lives in seclusion in the mountains and doesn't care about the world. By chance, the doctor of medicine took her out of the Karakorum Mountain. Since then, "Guli Tea Hidden" has a name-Kunlun Snow Chrysanthemum. Because the quality of snow chrysanthemum produced in Keriyang Township of Pishan County is the best, it is also called Keriyang Snow Chrysanthemum. Although Saussurea involucrata does not belong to tea, it can be drunk like tea. Its magical color and fragrance can be compared with many kinds of precious tea, which can almost fascinate people who love tea. Several chrysanthemums are put into the water and bloom in the cup, and the soup color is getting stronger, just like a dynamic watercolor painting. The smell is sweet, the entrance is sweet, the aftertaste is sweet, and the lips and teeth are fragrant. Especially for patients with "three highs", long-term drinking has a significant effect on improving symptoms.
Sweet pomegranate is another advantage specialty in Pishan County, which is mainly produced in Maxiang, allers, Pishan County. Piales Matian pomegranate is known as "the seed is as transparent as pearl and the juice is as honey" because of its large fruit, thin skin, large grain, rich juice, bright color, soft core, sweet taste and good quality. It is not only good in color, fragrance and taste, but also contains some protein, vitamins and various minerals. It is the best pomegranate and is favored by people. Because of the unique resources of water, soil, light and heat in Piaresma Lane, pomegranate has a thin skin, a big head, a high sugar content and a good taste, and it enjoys a growing reputation. In 2005, it was named as "Hometown of Pomegranate in China" and "Famous Brand Products in Xinjiang" in 2007. He has won many awards at the domestic agricultural products trade exhibition.
Sangzhu Rock Painting, located in Sangzhu Town, Pishan County, is a rock painting with the theme of Fa Xian, a monk of the Jin Dynasty, going to India to learn Buddhist scriptures. It is more than 3 meters long and 1.3 meters high. There are all kinds of portraits on the screen: some people bow and shoot arrows, some people walk behind horses and some people ride horses; There are animal images, mostly animals with double horns on their heads, similar to bighorn sheep. There are characters-like symbols on the upper left of the picture, which are carved by striking rocks with hard objects. No ancient relics were found near the rock paintings and in the valleys, and there were no legends among the people. Generally speaking, they are the works of primitive clan society, which may reflect the life of ancient animal husbandry and hunting.
After reading the Sangzhu rock paintings, you can also go to the Sangzhu Walnut Garden. No one knows how many years these walnut trees have been growing. Although the walnut trees in Sangzhu Walnut Garden are not as famous as Hotan Walnut King, they are definitely not worse than Hotan Walnut King, or even worse than Hotan Walnut King. The biggest and most amazing one. After being dumped, nine walnut trees grew on the trunk, and now the big walnut tree is also a folded tree, which makes people have to admire the ability of nature to turn decay into magic.
Pishan is a small county with a small area. The most prosperous place is Grand Bazaar, which means market in Chinese. Every Sunday is the county fair day, and people from all over the country will come to visit the market. There are more kinds of materials than usual, some of which are not visible at ordinary times and will not be displayed until the end of the charity sale day. All kinds of commodities with national characteristics are dazzling. If it is Bazaar Day in September after autumn, it is really a paradise for eating goods. There are fruits everywhere. Apples, peaches, pears, grapes, pomegranates, watermelons, cantaloupes and other unknown melons are delicious anyway. Of course, there are not a few fruits shipped from the mainland. Thanks to our great party and government, it is the result of reform and opening up and the convenience brought by the development of the western region.
There are many local handicrafts in Bazaar, some of which can be seen in inland counties many years ago, and now they have basically disappeared, but in southern Xinjiang, many handicrafts continue to become a unique landscape.
Today, Pishan has also embarked on the fast lane of development, and the urban and rural areas are changing with each passing day. Nevertheless, due to the backward foundation and being located in the frontier, the development is still very difficult. I hereby appeal to people of insight in the society to invest in Pishan to promote development, which is beneficial to the present and the future!
