Interpretation of Kashgar in the Western Regions

In Yu's prose collection "Cultural Journey", there is an article about Kashgar in the Western Regions.

The Western Region is a place name full of imagination and mystery. Kashgar is also a strange and mysterious city.

I remember that there are often necessary medicines for Tianshan Mountain, Tianshan Snow Lotus and martial arts novels.

It is divided into five parts.

The first part asks, if life could be repeated, where would you most like to be reborn? When introducing the British historian Toynbee, he said that if he could live over again, he would like to live in the ancient western region of China. Western Regions, Tarim River and Yarkant River in Xinjiang.

The second part talks about the blending of civilizations. Their respective civilizations form their own systems and blend with each other. It is either war or commodity circulation. The western regions have become a place where civilizations blend.

There are two roads leading from the western regions to the hinterland of Asia, namely, the grassland road in northern Xinjiang and the Silk Road in southern Xinjiang. The Silk Road is also divided into two parts, namely Kashgar, which was called Shule in ancient times.

Through the author and his wife's many trips to Kashgar, it is concluded that we must go to Xinjiang and take Kashgar to study the great history.

The third part talks about the eastward spread of Buddhism. Before Buddhism entered China, a hundred schools of thought contended, resulting in a mature and developed spiritual and cultural system. Buddhism has been running in the western regions for 200 years, and gradually spread to the Central Plains after secularization.

Islam was also introduced into Kashgar in the seventh century, and took root for hundreds of years before it spread to northern Xinjiang.

Kyle Poirot's travels and southern Tang books are recorded. The author thinks that Kashgar is a distribution center of spiritual civilization.

The fourth part talks about the late Qing Dynasty. The confrontation between the British Consulate and the Russian Consulate in Kashgar shows that it is a strategic fortress. Archaeologists from all over the world come to visit, which is far from being a hero in Kashgar. Once again, Stein, the cultural relic robber in the tower, inevitably appeared here. There is also the British archaeologist Sven Hedin, who discovered the ancient city of Dandan, Wuyun Rick, Loulan Site and Gandhara.

The fifth part describes Kashgar in the western regions from the landform. Think about Tianshan Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Taklimakan Desert, which together constitute the Western Regions. The atmosphere is spectacular. Yu Xiansheng thinks that the three mountains and five mountains in the Central Plains are just bonsai compared with it.

If you travel to the western regions, Mr. Yu's advice is:

Finally, there are two things about the writer. On the banks of the Yerqiang River, I wrote the first city of Kunlun, and I feel that it is extraordinary to write casually here. The second is the white smoke on the snowy mountain, which is mistaken for kitchen smoke. There is actually no answer. This kind of white smoke symbolizes the mystery and charm of the western regions and attracts people to come over.

The western region is so vast that the author takes Kashgar as the representative, which is completely in line with reality. Tens of thousands of words may not describe the characteristics of Kashgar in the western region.

The author focuses on the blending of their respective civilizations here. This paper describes one of the sources of charm and the distribution center of civilization. It is mainly divided into two or three parts.

The special geographical environment of the western regions has also created one of the charms of the western regions, and everything is extraordinary. The unique scenery, together with the marks left by different civilizations, finally forms a unique charm.

There are many things worth writing in the western regions, even writing Kashgar alone is very informative. This article is not limited to Kashgar.

How can so much content be strung together with a theme, or screened according to the theme? Look at the following excerpt.

Here's a contrast. There is an ancient and extinct civilization, and all the related cultural relics are dead. The civilization represented by the civilization of the western regions continues to modern times and is alive.

Whether it is the geographical environment or the concept of people affected by the geographical environment; Whether it is the imprint of civilization or the blending of various civilizations, it is alive. It has vitality, just like white smoke floating across the snow-capped mountains.
