Gains from Reading Post Horse

I brought home another excellent picture book, Pony. I always thought that children's books were full of innocence and happiness, and I didn't know it until I read them later. Rarely, or for a long time, there is such a book that makes me feel that my soul has been touched, just like this post. This feeling is not just touching, but a heavy sigh from the bottom of my heart. Even at the end of the reading, my throat was a little tight, my nose was sour and I wanted to cry. Perhaps the complexity of the world makes people numb, and the precipitated mood needs an outlet for release.

The story is simple. This is a story about a post horse family. Qingyang's mother and father met in Loulan, and they often told Qingyang about Loulan. It is a place as beautiful as heaven, and it is a place as happy as heaven. The sky is blue, the water is blue, the sheep is white and the clouds are white. Going to Loulan has become Qingyang's most determined dream, but as a post horse, he can't choose his own running path. So he passed this dream on to his children. In this way, this beautiful dream has been passed down from generation to generation in Yima family, and Loulan seems to be a place that Yima family can never reach. Until the little post horse Amber inadvertently came to the ruins, firmly believing that it was the eternal paradise in her and her ancestors' dreams.

At the end of reading, watching Amber's firm body and broken walls vaguely unfold in the distance, my mind was severely hit. The sacred place in the hearts of generations of post horses, like a sigh, dissipated in the wind flying in the yellow sand, and I couldn't help but feel a sad sadness spreading from my heart.

Loulan, the name of a girl, is shrouded in history, mysterious and sad. This once beautiful place mysteriously disappeared in the long river of history and appeared mythologically more than a thousand years later. The vicissitudes of life have changed greatly, and it is written that I am prosperous and I am dry.

I fell in love with Loulan for the first time because of the hit "Loulan Girl". The low and graceful singing, like a lamp on the horizon at night, made me start my pursuit. I guess Loulan's beauty. Sometimes I feel like a Central Plains warrior wearing a sword. Not far from Wan Li, I went through hardships and came to Loulan City with the bright moon. The beautiful girl, wearing a fragrant towel and white gauze, stepped on the grass and came to me. Later, the mummy lying on his back on the weathered sandy terrace added a bit of legend and horror to my exploration of Loulan. I can't connect this hideous and frightening corpse with the charming Loulan girl who was splashed with blood by countless warriors. Even for a long time, as long as Loulan is mentioned, there is a chilling coolness from the back to the whole body. It was not until I saw the beauty of Loulan restored by Zhao, the chief professor of China Criminal Police College, an expert in criminology and a trace archaeologist, that the delicate slices, deep eyes and thin lips gave off a beautiful and melancholy atmosphere, which gradually warmed my inner timidity and replaced it with infinite sadness and regret. Such a beautiful Loulan girl, together with her beautiful home, has been eroded by the wind and sand of the years and turned into quicksand everywhere.

The earliest concrete records of Loulan Kingdom in China's historical records are Historical Records and Biography of Dawan. According to records, Loulan is a small country in the Western Regions. It was built on the edge of Yanze, with battlements. However, "the soldiers are weak and easy to walk." The salt here is Lop Nur. When Ban Gu, a historian of Han Dynasty, wrote Han Shu, there were 1570 families in Loulan Kingdom, with a population of * * * 14 1000, and the country name was "mud". "Hanshu" further introduced the ecological environment of Loulan: "Sand and brine are few fields, and land is sent to Tianyang Valley to divide the country. The whole country is rich in jade, and there are many reeds (reeds), branch willows (red willows), hutongs (Populus euphratica) and white grass (white grass). People follow animal husbandry and chase water plants. There are donkeys, horses and many camels. You can be a soldier and follow the Qiang people. " In the heyday of Loulan Kingdom, its territory started near Yangguan in the east, Niya River in the west, Altun Mountain in the south and Hami in the north.

When Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Loulan changed his country name to Bushan, and asked the imperial court to station troops in Yixun. Emperor Zhao set up a surname in Yixun City, and set up a field. Since then, Loulan has become the strategic fulcrum for the central government to control the western regions. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Loulan still occupied an important position on the Silk Road. The eastern Han government reclaimed land from the sea in Loulan on a large scale to develop Loulan. Since then, Loulan has been an important transportation hub from the mainland to the western regions until the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it was once very prosperous. However, after the 3rd century AD, Loulan Kingdom mysteriously disappeared, and the rise and fall of Loulan Kingdom and its neighboring Lop Nur became a huge mystery.

From the middle of19th century to the beginning of 20th century, some western adventurers began to appear in the Taklimakan Desert, which has been lonely and desolate, and their figures attracted the attention of the world for this vast area that has been unknown for tens of thousands of miles. 190 1 In February, the lost shovel of Swede Sven Hedin opened the dimension door, and the ancient oasis that was silent in the sand sea thousands of years ago was reborn from the silent desert and presented to the world. He Ding himself said, "How lucky the shovel is! Otherwise, I will never go back to that ancient city to realize this important discovery that seems destined to make the ancient history of Central Asia gain unexpected new light! "

The post horse is like a key, which opens my Pandora's box and releases the memory of Loulan in my mind. My daughter knows nothing about Loulan, and the concepts of hometown and root-seeking are too abstract for her. She has her own understanding of the story. She said: "Post horses are people riding to deliver letters and things. Loulan is very beautiful. Only Qingyang's parents have been there. The post horse has its own work to do. They can only run between stations, but they can't choose their own route, so they have no freedom. But they still want to go, always want to go on and even dream. Finally, menstruation came to Loulan. "

Hope to adopt, thank you! ~
