The mysteries in the Bagua City are deep:
Is it a collision with evil? Or did you encounter a ghost hitting the wall?
The "adventure" of a foreign driver:
It is said that there is a driver in the field who is afraid of fines because of overloading. After the car arrived in Turks County, I was afraid of encountering traffic police on the street. So, he took advantage of the night to choose a road that he thought was remote, and detoured to the vicinity of the central Bagua Cultural Square.
Suddenly, with the help of the light, he saw a traffic policeman on duty in front of him, and he was so frightened that he sweated and immediately braked, turned around urgently, and secretly turned to another road to bypass the traffic police.
But when he detoured to the front from another road, he saw that there were still traffic police in front. He sneaked around from another road again, and this time he took a longer detour and more circles, but no matter how he went around, he couldn't avoid the "annoying" traffic police. He didn't believe that it was so "evil", so he continued to circle, and just like that, he circled more than once, and went farther around than the next... How many times he had gone around, even he couldn't remember.
In this way, the driver of the "collision" went around for a whole night, only to completely collapse...
Could it be that this is the folklore of the ghost hitting the wall?
When I heard this, I was very displeased. When did you even pull these feudal superstitions at me? What ghosts hit the wall, what hit the evil? To get lost is to be lost, don't know if you don't know, don't say okay?
It is only designed based on the Bagua "Houtian Map" in the "Zhou Yi", which is the only place in the world where Wusun culture and I Ching culture are intertwined, and it is also the best-preserved and largest Bagua City in the world, a city awarded "the world's largest Bagua City" by the Shanghai Guinness Headquarters; it is also the westernmost place where Chinese Taoist culture spreads, and it is also a magical small city where "heaven and earth intersect and all things are connected, and all things are the same". Bagua City is just a true embodiment of the ancient and mysterious I Ching culture.
My story is a bit long, and if you want to hear the story, keep going:
My story with Changchun Zhenren Qiu:
Who is Qiu Zhiji? He's not an ordinary person!
Qiu Chuji was a representative figure of Taoism and QuanzhenIsm, as well as a thinker, politician, writer, health care scientist and medicine scientist. He is the most admired person of a generation of genghis khan, and is famous for persuading genghis khan to "stop killing and love the people". Legend has it that the old immortal lived to the age of 300.
The Qianlong Emperor praised him: Eternal life, not eating Xiaxia to seek secrets; stopping killing with one word, he knew that Ji Shi had miraculous feats
What's going on?
It is said that when Genghis Khan came to the Turks Valley on his western expedition, he missed his old friend very much, Changchun Zhenrenqiu, the head of the Seven Sons of the Quanzhen Sect, and warmly invited him to come to the Western Regions to meet him.
Qiu Chuji gladly accepted Genghis Khan's invitation, "I follow the rules of heaven, and the angels do not dare to violate it." So he came to the Western Regions at the age of 74. It lasted 3 years and traveled more than 30,000 miles, and finally met Genghis Khan under the snowy mountains at the age of 77.
Coming to the Western Regions, Genghis Khan summoned Qiu Zhiji many times, and humbly asked for ways to govern the country and maintain health, and Qiu Chuji responded to Temujin by "respecting heaven and loving the people", reducing slaughter, and purifying his desires, and successfully made Temujin curb the vicious habit of wanton slaughter. This is the origin of the famous "one word to stop killing" allusion in history.
After meeting Genghis Khan, Qiu Zhiji traveled for three years in the Tianshan Mountains in the western region, and when he passed through the Turks River Valley, he found that this river valley was surrounded by mountains on all sides, the Turks River flowed through it, and the grassland traveled with the water, and he was immediately moved by the mountains, rivers and water potentials of the river valley here, so he took the Gossip Theory "Feng Shui" and believed that this place set the strong qi of the mountains, the harmony of the rivers and the grand veins of the water, and called it a rare "dragon vein" place where "heaven and earth are integrated, east and west are connected, heaven and earth are united, and people are outstanding".
Therefore, Qiu Chuji took this as the core of the Feng Shui of Bagua City and chose the direction, and determined the Bagua direction of Kanbei, Linan, Zhendong, and Duixi, and since then there has been the original prototype of the shape of Turks Bagua.
This Qiu Fei Qiu My story with Qiu Zongjun
Not everyone can understand me. Ever since Qiu Zhiji drew the prototype of the gossip for me, I have been waiting for the person who can understand me to appear. The water of the Turks River has flowed for 700 years, the snow on The Wusun Mountain has fallen one after another, the grass of the Karajun Khan Steppe has turned yellow and yellow, the People of the Great Moon Clan have driven away the Serbs, the People of Wusun have driven away the Great Moon Clan, the King of Wusun has ushered in Princess Xiaojun, and the Princess of Jieyou has returned to Chang'an after half a century. Uighurs, Turks, Mongols, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Uyghurs and others have been here for hundreds of years. I was in no hurry, I waited patiently, waiting for the man who understood me to appear.
Finally, 700 years later, in the winter of 1936, the people I was waiting for arrived. Qiu Zongjun, the father-in-law of Sheng Shicai, who was proficient in "Yi" theory, was transferred to the position of envoy of Yili Tunken and commander of the security guard, he was familiar with the I Ching, understood the principle of Feng Shui of bagua direction, and discovered the prototype direction and "feng shui dragon vein" of Turks Bagua left by Qiu Chuji. At that time, a Russian technician and a feng shui gentleman were hired, and after three careful surveys and discussions in the Turks Basin, they finally agreed on my current position. Then, according to the drawings, using eight cows to pull the plow, plowing out eight lines in eight directions, and began to build the Turks Bagua City that you see today.
The accompanying feng shui master said: This place faces north and south, especially in line with the saying of "former Suzaku, hou Xuanwu, left green dragon, right white tiger", backed by Wusun Mountain (that is, Xuanwu Mountain), blocking the cold air invaded by Siberia, the south is the Tianshan Mountain Range (that is, Suzaku Mountain), blocking the heat wave and sandstorm from the Tarim Basin, and the mountains on the east and west sides, the left is the green dragon, the right is the white tiger, blocking the crosswind blowing along the river, there will be no wind damage. Bagua City is located here, which is a real feng shui treasure land surrounded by mountains, surrounded by mountains and water, warm in winter and cool in summer, and fresh air.
Wusun's former princess old shadow
The Karaky Steppe in Turks was the place where King Wusun married Xiaojun and Princess Jie. There are still more than 20,000 Wusun ancient tombs in the territory, which is the most complete and largest group of Wusun ancient tombs in China;
The Kazakh Akhmjan sings: "Khan Jeliao, Haybelid, Karaj", meaning "Where is the king's steppe, in Karakyon". Because this is the grassland of the mountains, the grassland of the water, the grassland of the trees, the grassland of the Pegasus, the grassland of the eagle, and the paradise of cattle and sheep. Also because of the unique climatic conditions of the Turks River Basin, it was chosen by the King of Wusun to be the capital of Xia.
Xiadu: It is the place where King Wusun spends his summer vacation. It has been a summer pasture for Kazakhs since ancient times.
Karajun, Kazakh means "black mangyuan". Here the mountains are undulating, and the dense snow-capped spruce trees grow, which are wild and reckless. At the top of the mountain, it is a high terrace that slopes towards the south, like a hanging meadow. The 10,000 acres of grassland stretch for nearly 100 kilometers, where countless cattle and sheep spend the summer.
Standing on the Karachun grassland, the grass under the feet, the flowers are like brocade, the slopes in the distance are gentle, the boundless is endless, just like a wonderful flower carpet, all the way to the foot of the snow-capped Tianshan Mountain, known by the United Nations as "Five Flowers Meadow", also known as the most beautiful human grassland.
"The vault is the wall of the chamber and the felt, and the meat is the pulp", more than 2,000 years ago, Princess Xiaojun and Princess Xieyou went out of Yangguan in the west and crossed the oasis respectively, through the north of the Silk Road, to the Turks River Valley of the ——— of Wusun Xiadu. The first thing they saw was two completely different worlds from Chang'an. Here is an endless blue prairie, the grassland is a series of white round felt houses, white houses are made of wool felt walls, countless cattle and sheep scattered on the grassland. They were greeted by the Wusun people, who sang and danced, and the first meal they tasted was a large piece of horse meat and a large bowl of horse milk wine. These two poems of Princess Xiaojun very vividly describe the real life of the Wusun people on the grassland.
Horse racing, this is all the rest of the year's Wusun King playing!
I think that when King Wusun proposed to the Western Han Dynasty, the thousand good horses given to Emperor Wu of Han were Wusun horses selected from the Turks Horse Racing Club at that time. It was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as the "West Pole Tianma", and also specially gave a poem for this purpose: Tianma Lai Xi from the West Pole, through the Wanli Xi to youde. Chengling Wei obstructed foreign countries, waded into quicksand and four yi obedience. This is the famous "West Pole Pegasus Song". Since then, Wusun Ma has had the reputation of "Tianma".
The Karachun Grassland is the location of the largest racecourse in ancient China, the "Khan Grassland", and it is also the place where the ancient Chinese nomads established the most "tooth tents".
Horse culture is also an important feature of Wusun culture. There are many grassland activities dominated by horses, and horse racing is one of The Wusun King's favorite activities. The best royal racecourse is today's Karajan Steppe. Even if you can't see the horse race, come to Karajun, the heroic and oily pegasus standing in the sun can involuntarily attract you, when you reach out your hand to touch it, but you don't expect a beautiful hoof, the horse's mane is flying, the four hooves are hanging in the air, the horse has grown towards the snowy mountain, leaving you with a fading back, and your outstretched hand is stagnant in the sun at this moment, and the trance still thinks it is a dream. It can be said that the Pegasus is gone, and the spare hands are leisurely...
And friends who can react quickly, quickly pick up the camera, can catch this classic shot that many people have been squatting here for many days and want to capture, you, have also become the classic shot in other people's shots.
Where is the homeland of Wusun now, and the shepherd boy refers to the Ili River
The humid climate and abundant water and grass are the ideal grassland for nomadic people, so the royal family of Wusun comes here every year for summer. Once Princess Xiaojun and Princess Xieyou had migrated everywhere with the royal tent in those years, the Karajun grassland, Sailim Lake, and the banks of the Ili River in the Territory of Wusun Would once be wafted with the melodious pipa sound of The Delicate Jun and the sound of the soothing homesickness.
"Do not plant trees in the field, follow the animals to chase the water and grass", this nomadic life of living by water and grass makes Princess Xiaojun come to Wusun for 6 years and return to her homeland. In the half century of Wusun's life, Princess Jieyou, a strange woman who became a legend in history, successfully made Wusun a loyal ally of the Han Dynasty, resisted the invasion of the Xiongnu, and made great contributions to the stability of the Han Dynasty. Princess Jieyou returned to Chang'an City again in her old age.
Once prosperous Wusun Land, now the gossip is deep
The "I Ching" is "the head of the group of classics, the source of the avenue", but also the essence of Chinese culture, Bagua City is the true embodiment of the ancient and mysterious "I Ching" culture.
The overall shape of Turks Bagua City is a radioactive circle, and the layout of the street is overlooked from top to bottom, like a huge labyrinth, it seems that the roads are connected, the streets are connected, but in fact, it makes people completely unable to touch their heads, which is completely in line with the "metaphysical" color of yin and yang gossip.
"Heaven and earth intersect and all things are connected, up and down and all things are the same", Turks Bagua City takes the urban square as the yin and yang two instruments, extending outward according to the I Ching Bagua Diagram, and the names of the eight main roads in the city correspond to the Qiankang Gun Zhenxun in the I Ching, and the 64 streets are interconnected with each other, like a labyrinth of mysteries.
As a place where 22 ethnic groups once lived, there are mysteries you don't know:
The outlying streets of Bagua City are unique with their multi-ethnic characteristics, ingenious artistic murals and relief landscapes. Arrow-shaped street lamp poles, retro horse stakes, and lattice fence walls reflect the cultural elements of the grassland nomads; the red wall, the manhole cover, and the gua yao closet of the experience shop represent the gossip origin of the street.
The most amazing thing is that due to the special layout, in Turks Bagua City, you can reach your destination no matter which way you go, but if you are not familiar with the road conditions, or if you are here for the first time, it is easy to get lost in the maze.
As a city with a gossip gene, as a former Wusun Xiadu, as a feng shui treasure in the eyes of Qiu Chuji, as a magical place full of mysteries, there are many more stories of mine.
No matter how many stories you have heard, it is better to go to the place where the stories took place, you say?
