Shadegay: Ancient rock paintings of the Yin Mountains, cyclists, ibexes and tigers

author:Huang Xiang's vision

On August 9, 2023, I finally met with Liu Chang, the owner of the sheep.

In Boss Liu's Shadegai mutton experience store, eating hand-held meat and drinking fragrant liquor, the two chatted hotly.

Men who drink alcohol, the topic is very loose, and the thinking is also jumpy. Starting from Shadegai's e-commerce plan, he exchanged his own experiences in the wandering years, and even talked about interesting stories about his teenage years.

Boss Liu said with a smile that he was not very impatient to "read ten thousand books", but he took "traveling a thousand miles" as his motto. Every pasture and ravine in and around Shadegsumu left his footprints.

"This is Shadeg's petroglyph, carved there when I was very young, you must be interested." Boss Liu opened his mobile phone to search and transferred three pictures to my WeChat.

At that time, I was already a little drunk, and my eyes that were 500 degrees of myopia began to blur, and I looked and looked at my mobile phone.

The first petroglyph is obviously a cyclist.

The second petroglyph, the lower part seems to be a colorful tiger, and the upper part is probably its wife.

In the third petroglyph, the ibex and goat in the middle are clear, and several animals are carved in the upper and lower parts, but the style is too concise to identify which type.

"In your opinion, what age should these petroglyphs be?" Boss Liu asked with interest.

"Well, probably from the Warring States period to the Han Dynasty." With the blessing of alcohol, I guessed boldly.

After returning home, I found the information: "In the territory of the former banner of Urart, there are 7 rock art groups in the territory of Xiaoshetai Horsemane Mountain, Dashe Tai rock art, Hailusitai rock art group, Dabagou rock art group, Shadege gou cliff rock carvings, Dazhigaigou rock art group, Dongdayou rock art, etc., which are rich in content, mainly including people, animals, symbols, hunting, etc. In April 2022, they were announced as city-level key protection units. ”

Heh, I just thought that Shadege Sumu belonged to the Xiongnu homeland, the place where Emperor Wudi of Han traveled to the north and Wang Zhaojun went out, it was the resting place of Genghis Khan and his brother Hazar to conquer Western Xia, and even an important passage of the steppe Silk Road, but I didn't expect that there were so many interesting monuments.

It seems that Shadegesumu, located in the core area of the Ole River, not only has the material of the pasture vlog, but also the historical background can be spied on, which is really "a vast world and a lot of achievements"!

"Shadegay, good place, I'm going to stay there for a long time." Picking up the wine, Boss Liu and I touched a glass heavily.
