Pam Richie goes on a road trip

Palm Ridge is a fascinating place with amazing natural preservation. It is definitely a paradise, full of primitive style, giving people a mysterious mentality of being close to nature. Here’s a quick look at a road trip to Palm Ridge.

Pam Ridge Address: Pam Ridge, Bajiaolou Township, Yajiang County, Garze Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is one of the three largest Vajra Sea Mountains in the world.

It is said that the accomplished Dorje Parmo came to the second mountain to practice Vajraheim. One day, he turned into a black pig and built the Six Saint Gate on the mountain, which was seen by the villagers. Therefore, this sacred mountain was named Pam Ridge. ("Pam" means "pig" in Tibetan.

I have passed by Pam Mountain several times. My teacher's family is from Pam Mountain. So every year when I celebrate the New Year in his hometown, the whole town will get up in the middle of the night to visit Pam Mountain before dawn. Every time they reach the top of the mountain, that person will go to the Golden Summit to worship the gods, simmer mulberries, and blow conches. At the top of the mountain, Saronda.

Only men know what the Golden Dome looks like. Women can never go there. People walk on the holy mountain under the golden roof, and those who arrive early have a bumpy road. Lowering their waists, they crawled forward on their knees, measuring the path under their feet and kowtowing step by step. They moved unswervingly towards their goal, so pious! They walked through a primeval forest covered with deep or shallow snow. Various animals in the forest are constantly chirping, such as Tibetan pheasants, grouse, blood pheasants, shell hens, small squirrels, small monkeys, and many unknown birds.

We. Throw corn kernels and barley on them, and they will come towards us "coo-coo". Some even fly to us and peck the food in our hands. They are like your old friends, flying around you affectionately. , circle around you, and the squirrels will squat on your hands to eat.

This place shows the harmony between humans and animals. The locals never harm these wild animals. This stems from the Tibetan people's thousands of years of tradition. Excellent cultural traditions.

In their eyes, every life is so precious. They believe in Tibetan Buddhism and do not kill animals. Even if they catch a flea, they will put it away carefully. Outside the window. In their view, releasing animals means atonement and accumulating blessings.

Seeing such a perfect picture will definitely move you to tears. Once upon a time, we lived in a world where we had lost ourselves. In contrast, it protects the Chinese culture, preserves the beautiful habits of the Chinese nation, and preserves many things from the roots of our ancestors. . Although they have been criticized in one way or another.

After walking through a forest and reaching the top of the mountain, you can see the sunrise, sea of ??clouds, and Buddha's light standing majestically on the horizon.

Myths and Legends

A local talked about Pamridge Mountain religiously. He said that one day, his mother was cutting grass on the mountain because the grass on her back was too heavy. I accidentally rolled down the mountainside. Later, when I woke up, I was lying on the bed at home.

According to her memory, she didn't know anything after falling down the mountain. , she saw a black pig as big as a yak coming and carrying her home 2. People said that Pamrich’s god saved her.

I remember that on the way up the mountain, I had to cross a cliff. There was a small wooden bridge with a small flat dam in front of it. Old Man Suosang's pious chanting came one after another. He walked around Manidui three times and came to a cave. The cave was leaning on a stone pillar, leaving just enough space for one person to drill through. The past cave.

This cave is natural, not man-made, and is said to have been built by the gods of Pam Ridge. Those who have done bad things or are unfilial to the elderly will get stuck if they drill this hole. Only if they pray for the supervision of the gods and swear to change their ways will the gods let them out. Every Spring Festival, everyone will go through it religiously in front of the public.

On the entrance of the hole are coins and banknotes that people use to worship gods and stick with butter.

Qingmiao Fair

Every year in June and July of the Tibetan calendar, a grand temple fair is held in Pam Ridge. The temple fair is very lively. Generally, it takes about three days for everyone in the town's Bajiaolou to participate, and people from neighboring villages and brother temples will also come to pay their respects. Lamas and Draba would dance wearing strange costumes and masks. The villagers also sang and danced to celebrate the temple fair.

Going up the mountain to pick matsutake mushrooms

This summer vacation, my family and friends and I went to Panling Mountain to pick matsutake mushrooms. I hit the road at around six in the morning. Starting from the county seat, after driving for more than 30 kilometers along National Highway 318, the car turned left and crossed a small bridge covered with Mani colorful flags. A gravel road climbs to the top of the mountain. The road is very narrow and has many sharp turns.

The shadows of tall trees outside the window are getting clearer and clearer, and patches of poplar and birch forests are receding. The rhododendrons everywhere have already turned into spring mud. Clusters of attractive new green grow. I couldn't help but sigh, "The falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers."

The road became steeper and steeper, the car moved slowly, and the spruce and green trees outside the window became more and more beautiful. Coming shorter and shorter. Suddenly, the sun shines on the earth, and the mountains rise in the distance. Pam Ridge is already above the peaks. The White Tower sparkles in the sun, white and sacred.

There is a lawn full of Gesang flowers on the top of the mountain. The roar of the cars disturbed the birds and pheasants that were feeding and singing on the grass. Head in the other direction to Palm Ridge. That was a direction I had never gone in.

The blue sky, undulating mountains, and long sea of ??clouds are like a light and elegant cotton hat worn on the hills, and like a long ink painting stretching into the distance. All these make It's refreshing. I opened my arms and embraced the cool breeze. I wanted to sing a song, but I was afraid that it would disturb the tranquility here!

When we arrived at our destination, we got off the car and entered the forest to look for matsutake mushrooms in earnest. The forest is filled with the scent of matsutake mushrooms, but we don't know where they are hiding.

Walking through a dense forest, I saw a light red mushroom head. Turn over quickly, digging carefully into the soil on both sides with your hands. A strong scent of matsutake wafted into my nostrils. Looking around again, one, two, three flowers

"I found matsutake, come and see!" I shouted as hard as I could. Take out your phone and start taking pictures. Come and see, everyone. We carefully dug out the matsutake mushrooms and put them in the basket.

At that time, I could not express my feelings in words, so I wrote on WeChat: "In the dense forest, I finally met you. At this moment, I am happy." No matter who finds the matsutake, they will call everyone Watch. Surprise, laughter.

The teacher ran around in the forest and could not find a matsutake. Suddenly, there was a "click" under his feet. He quickly moved away, dug up the leaf litter, and found a big matsutake. It was like "there is no place for you to find it, you can get it without any effort." At noon, we received a basket full of mushrooms. Everyone is exhausted. We walked out of the woods, sat on the lawn of Pam Ridge, and took out the lunch we had brought: chopped yak meat, Guokui Tibetan pork, various fruits and snacks that tasted particularly sweet in the wild. The children were full on the grass Playful. The innocent smiles of the children are so harmonious with the simplicity of everything here! Yes, everything here is primitive and pure, people, trees, birds, animals...

The Panji in the boudoir, Paradise on earth, mysterious mountain!

Aloof, likes coding and taking pictures. I hope that every day, I can walk the path of happiness.
