Jingbian, the desert is a swan song, quiet as a song, the Great Wall shines in the sunset, and the northern Shaanxi line 3.

(Undertaking: Visit the Famen Temple Imperial Tomb in the rain and give me a prosperous time with a long history, a trip to northern Shaanxi 2)

We stayed in Jingchuan, Pingliang City, at the junction of Qin and Long in the middle of the Loess Plateau, and smelled a little bit of the boundary of Gansu. With great disappointment, we left the hub of the ancient Silk Road and the hinterland of Chinese civilization and went straight to Jingbian, northern Shaanxi.

The whole journey is more than 500 kilometers, and it has been driving northward in gloomy weather. Drive for about 6 hours and arrive at Jingbian in the evening. Historical data have long known that during the war, our party moved to northern Shaanxi, and important leaders such as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai lived and fought in Jingbian for more than two months. The famous "Xiaohe Conference" was held here, which opened the prelude of the national liberation war from strategic defense to strategic counterattack.

Check into the Valley International Hotel. This county town, where ancestors lived as early as the Paleolithic, is still so simple and concise in front of us.

Early the next morning, we arrived at Tongwan City, which was the capital of Daxia established by Helian Bobo, a survivor of southern Xiongnu, as early as the 5th century in China.

The trip came out because August is rainy season, and the weather is either rainy or cloudy. Li, the tour guide, enthusiastically explained past lives in Tongcheng to us.

Xiongnu, a nomadic people in ancient Mongolian plateau, is quite famous in history, especially in the northwest generation. They are nomadic people who like to fight and form alliances with horses. In the history of China, they have interfered with and threatened the livelihood and development of the western regions and North China for many times.

To this end, the Han Empire paid high financial and material resources, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing made great contributions to the extermination of Xiongnu. Huns running around have no habit of writing and building cities. This is the only Hun relic in the world. Wantong is located on the edge of Mu Us Desert, in the quicksand on the north bank of Wuding River. According to legend, when Helian Bobo, the leader of Tiefu, established Wuhu in the Sixteen Countries Period, it was a land of abundant water and grass.

However, with the uncontrolled land reclamation and war, the local ecology was gradually destroyed. After thousands of years of evolution and climate change, the Mu Us area has gradually become a vast desert. After the founding of New China, the government launched a sustained campaign to prevent and control desertification, and generations of Yulin people devoted their lives to it, which finally made it complete the transformation from "sand enters people and retreats" to "people enter sand and retreats". Looking around, green plants gradually covered the yellow sand. Only this baichengzi stands out.

As early as in the long river of history, due to the long-term war, natural disasters, the decrease of territory and population, the Huns were increasingly trapped, internal disputes intensified, and the Huns gradually integrated into all ethnic groups.

I miss heaven and earth, boundless, boundless, leaving a broken wall alone.

The ancient city is silent and the sea of clouds is like a mountain.

The white walls, towering horse faces and towering turrets of the site clearly outline the outline and scale of the capital of Daxia, which is named after the implication of "unifying the world and reigning in all countries".

As we strolled, we heard the call sign of Jingoma Railway during the Sino-Hungarian War.

Generations of foresters have built an indestructible green corridor in the Mu Us Desert with painstaking efforts, sweat and even life. Turning the desert into an oasis can be said to be a change of fate. Yulin people wrote with faith that man can conquer nature.

Green plants are as tall and unyielding as Yulin people. Li, a young tour guide, gave the tree a name: Lonely Watcher. Therefore, the special geographical location of the tree and the humanistic feelings of its name have been handed down ... Li is quite proud. In fact, the lonely watchman will never be lonely again.

There is no camel trail in the desert, and the willow color is new. Mankind has broken through the forbidden zone of life, and tenacious Salix has contributed.

Now Mu Us is not a long sand dune, but a willow swaying in the wind on this undulating sand dune.

Jingbian people live a happy life, and the ancient caves are empty in the evening and lonely.

We wandered in the rows of caves left behind Tongwan City, vaguely recalling the sufferings of people in northern Shaanxi.

Li, a tour guide, said: It is difficult to see the vast Mu Us Desert now, and the Mu Us Desert will gradually fade into people's memory.

We collect historical memories and appreciate the existence of history and the truth of reality in profound humanistic implications. Human beings always have the psychological need to return to history and nature. What's more, caves, especially these ancient caves, are one of the cultural landscapes in northern Shaanxi and one of the real memories of people in northern Shaanxi.

It's nearly evening, the sky is blue and dark clouds are rolling ... We are in Yuan Ye, Jingbian, looking for the legendary Ming Great Wall site. Navigation makes us dizzy.

When we met a flock of sheep, they looked at us with some surprise.

Not far away, there are two local villagers ... we went to ask for directions ... The old man's authentic northern Shaanxi dialect made us confused.

When we met a base of China Petroleum Qing Chuan Drilling Company, the workers gave us an uncertain direction.

Then, after passing a sunflower field, we were very happy. ...

In people's minds, the flower language of sunflower is faith, glory, pride, loyalty and admiration, the meaning of sunflower is silent love, and the legendary story of sunflower is brave and persistent pursuit of love.

It is the formal beauty of sunflower and the rich connotation endowed by human beings that makes people feel ecstatic and just want to dance with it.

Finally, I couldn't find a place to get it, and I got it without much effort. We were close to the Great Wall at sunset.

I walked fearlessly through the dense red willows, and I wanted to get as close as I could to the loess ridge. At this time, the first thing that caught my eye was this magnificent sentence: love my China and protect my Great Wall. The sun is so quiet.

I brushed the grass and went straight to the front ... the sun was dazzling, but the mottled fonts were particularly clear and powerful, and the flowers swayed in the evening breeze. ...

The remains of the ancient Great Wall seem to give us too much sense of historical vicissitudes, and the history of China can't be separated from the story about the Great Wall anyway.

It is reported that the Ming Great Wall site starts from Jiayuguan in Jiayuguan City in the west, passes through Jiuquan, Gao Tai, Linze, Zhangye, Shandan, Yongchang, Minqin, Wuwei, Gulang and Jingtai counties, crosses the Yellow River from five Buddhist temples, extends along the south bank of the Yellow River in Jingyuan County, and twists and turns to Shanhaiguan in the east.

I have the honor to witness its existence many times in this long journey, and its past has witnessed the unyielding of the Chinese nation. Sewing these precious fragments is a complete historical romance.

Standing on the ridge of the beam, we can see that the military status was very important at that time. Jingbian is a famous ancient battlefield. On a quiet and peaceful night, we wandered passionately between history and reality.

As the sun sets, the bonfire is silent. At this point, let me sum up with Fan Zhongyan's poem: Qiu Lai has a different scenery, and Hengyang geese walk carelessly. Around, the sound of the horn sounded, thousands of miles away, and the long smoke closed. A glass of turbid wine is Wan Li's home, but Ran Yan hasn't come home yet. Qiang tube covered with frost, people do not sleep. The general was white-haired and in tears.
