[Yun Si Westbound 6] Arriving at Zhi Dun in Dunhuang, it shines brilliantly, revealing the unfathomable Mogao Grottoes.

On the tenth day, 8.5 nights in Dunhuang.

I just came to Dunhuang without warning and fell in love with this place. I visited Dunhuang in the evening, feeling that it is the best city in the whole west. Not only Lanzhou, the provincial capital, but also Qilian with beautiful scenery, Zhangye with amazing landforms and Jiayuguan with great momentum.

I especially like Dunhuang.

Even setting foot on this land feels comfortable. The sidewalks are paved with historical and cultural floor tiles, and the buildings are antique, but they don't keep people away like Xi 'an. It just looks at you warmly and accompanies you. This is a city full of humanistic atmosphere.

1 1 day 8.6 Dunhuang

In the morning, I visited the Dunhuang Museum. After listening to the explanation, I went to visit it myself. First of all, talk about the appearance of the museum, a typical desert building. It is simple, low-key and charming. The road leading to the exhibition hall is lined with murals of the Silk Road.

The preface of the museum is two large plastic sculptures:

1, Zhang Qian was sent to the Western Regions, Ban Chao and Princess You Jie, who was "nothing ventured, nothing gained" (married to Wu Sun).

2. Tribute etiquette in the Western Regions

The next five exhibition halls show the history and culture from the establishment of Dunhuang County in the Western Han Dynasty to Dunhuang in the Qing Dynasty, as well as some introductions to Mogao Grottoes.

I have a deeper understanding of Huo Qubing who broke the Huns.

Four counties in Hexi: Wuwei County, Zhangye County, Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County.

Look at the history of Yangguan and Yumenguan, and hit "the people who went out of Yangguan in the west for no reason" and "the spring breeze didn't reach Yumenguan"

I see: Diaoquanlou was a great reception and transit point for people and mail between Guazhou and Dunhuang during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

I also know that there has been paper since the Western Han Dynasty, not the Eastern Han Dynasty. I saw the sculptures of Sakyamuni and his disciples in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, and they were restored one by one, hehe.

"Every family has a Buddha, and every family has Guanyin." The Buddha statue and Guanyin statue on the opposite wall.

Tubo Marriage Custom: Men worship women but not women.

I also saw something I didn't know: the suffering of Dunhuang people.

In my own travel, I have always felt that I prefer humanities to natural scenery. However, this trip to the northwest, whether it is human or natural scenery, has made me feel certain satisfaction.

I think everyone in China should see the Mogao Grottoes with their own eyes. It is a kind of power from historical figures and a kind of spiritual collision. It is also today that I feel the power of "faith". Suddenly, I want to be a man of faith. The tourism management of Mogao Grottoes is very good. Limit the daily flow and visit in different periods. Here, people do gain something. First, they watched a film about Dunhuang history in the Digital Exhibition Center, and then they watched the ball screen movie. This is my first time to watch a ball screen movie! It feels great. After that, we went to the scenic spot of Mogao Grottoes, and every 20 tourists with normal tickets were led by a tour guide. I have to praise the management of the Mogao Grottoes, while protecting historical and cultural sites, so that every regular ticket visitor can gain something and think. This reminds me of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. There is also a crowded corridor like the refugee cave in Shaanxi History Museum. With a sigh, this aspect is indeed not as good as Dunhuang, a county-level city. The goodwill towards Dunhuang increased by one.

Monk Le Zun passed by this mountain and suddenly saw the golden light shining like Buddha, so he dug the first hole in the rock wall. "Digging a cave, infinite merit. -"The reason why generations keep opening caves.

This is the so-called belief. Everyone believes in it and places their hopes on the Buddha. Pray that on the Silk Road, we can avoid robbers, carry bad weather and pass through the western regions smoothly.

It's strange to see the Mogao Grottoes with your own eyes, marveling at the exquisiteness of the ancients, and at the same time feeling small. I have always felt that I have no special faith, but I also began to think, what is the definition of so-called faith?

Is it the hope in my heart? Or is it a way to escape behavior? Is it necessary for communication? Or the knowledge of the world?

I really lack knowledge as a support, so I can only keep as many questions as possible in my mind. Familiarity is needed before answering, and familiarity benefits from learning, and the premise of learning is respect.

Although I began to feel the power of faith, I don't think I should believe for the sake of faith.

I'm already tired when I arrive at the crescent spring in Mingsha Mountain. I didn't climb a mountain or ride a camel. Wandering freely in the desert. In my opinion, compared with the endless desert, the desert designated as a scenic spot in this way has no such car-scrapping.

Summary: The temperament of Dunhuang is the deposition and connotation of culture. Oasis in the desert, through the ages, too many people have come here. I am one of ten thousand mortals, the most common one. Come empty-handed and come home loaded.
