Look at the Mountains and Rivers in the sky

Liu Yang

"When I was young, I always liked to look up at the starry sky and look for the moon in the vast sea of clouds. For as long as I can remember, the moon has been so out of reach in my mind. At that time, I never thought that I could become a pilot or even an astronaut in the future, and be able to cruise for nine days, "ride the wind, go in the sky, and look down at the mountains and rivers." I believe that in the near future, there will be an opportunity to visit the Moon Palace...

Stay away, and understand the importance of home better

On June 16, 2012, Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang, together with Jing Haipeng and Liu Wang, entered Tiangong-1 on the Shenzhou 9 spacecraft to carry out China's first manned rendezvous and docking mission. "What is it like to see the Earth and the moon in space?" After returning from a flight, I am often asked. Sadly, during the 13-day mission, I never saw the moon in person through the porthole. In space, we circle the earth every 90 minutes, and if the human rhythm is changed according to 90 minutes a day and night, I am afraid that I really do not know "what year this night is", and there is no way to carry out normal work and rest. In addition, the light outside the window is bright and dazzling when we are in the sunshine zone, so when we work and live in space, the porthole has always been covered with a porthole cover and illuminated by lighting. After the work is completed, we will take advantage of the rare leisure time to open the porthole cover and look at the beautiful earth and the deep universe.

I often asked enviously about other comrades watching the moon in space. In fact, even into space, we are still very far from the moon. From space, the moon is similar to the ground, it is also clear and shallow, but it is clearer and brighter, perhaps because there are fewer "floating clouds covering the moon", and this "white jade disk" is naturally "clear light should be more". The sun in space is so glaring that it is impossible to look directly at all. The sun's brilliance shrouded the edge of the earth, as if a golden halo was set on the earth, every 90 minutes you can see the cycle of sunrise and sunset, the whole universe from dark to bright, the edge of the earth from black to bright, from black to dark blue, gradually brighter and brighter, until golden, bright and dazzling. This fantastic beauty cannot be described in words.

And the most shocking thing is to look back at our homeland. Looking at the earth from 340 kilometers away, this planet that we have inhabited for generations looks so magnificent and dazzling in the vast universe. The edges of her arcs are clearly visible, always draped in a bluish-white halo, with sunlight projecting a deep, shallow blue on the surface of the sea, the earth's veins are clear, and the coastline is clear and long. She was so beautiful, quietly glowing with a dreamlike glow in the vastness of the universe. "The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it; the stars are brilliant, if it is out of it", the dreamy blue seems to carry thousands of galaxies.

Human beings enter space in order to discover a new world, but when they look back at the earth from space, they truly understand the connection of the heart and the place of the roots, and truly understand the true meaning of mother earth.

Space is magical. In space, the heart becomes wide, and with the weightlessness of the body, many things become very light and light. But the human heart does not lose weight, and many emotions will become clearer and more precious in the heart. For example, only when you are far away from the earth can you better understand the preciousness of the earth's homeland; only when you are far away from the motherland can you better appreciate the importance of the motherland; only when you are far away from your relatives can you cherish the concerns of your relatives more. When flying in space, we are proud and proud of the motherland all the time, and we feel the strong support from the motherland and the people all the time. Whenever the spaceship flies over the motherland, we can't help but gather at the porthole to look at it, where there are our family and friends, comrades-in-arms who get along day and night, and compatriots who are connected by blood, that is our root, the most worrying.

Dreams are getting closer and closer

"Dew is white from tonight, the moon is the hometown of Ming", the autumn night in Beijing, the sky has been slightly cool, a round of bright moon accompanied me, running in a circle on the vast playground of the Space City. The month came to mid-autumn, but the task was imminent, and intense study and training filled my schedule. I don't remember that this was the Mid-Autumn Festival that failed to be reunited several times, "at this time, we don't hear each other, and I wish to shine on the king month by month"...

Looking up at the moon, I know that there have never been beautiful fairies or well-behaved jade rabbits on the moon, and this cold, barren planet is full of ancient oblique rock highlands and impact craters. But whenever I look at the night sky, those thoughts and attachments, myths and allegories that are deeply engraved in the memory of our nation will always come to me with the bright moonlight.

The bright moon is bright, and the silver man is silent. Every time I look up, I have the hope of "a thousand miles together", and every time I look up, I also give birth to the "Sun and Moon An genus?" Lexing Ann Chen? The question – what is above the moon? What does it look like outside the universe? From the myths and legends of Chang'e Running Moon to the flying murals of the Mogao Grottoes, from the Warring States poet Qu Yuan's "Heavenly Questions" to the Ming Dynasty's attempts to fly in the sky... Flying has always been the dream of the Chinese nation, as far away as the vicissitudes of our nation's history. Nowadays, with the strength of national strength and the development of science and technology, under the silent cultivation of several generations of aerospace armies, the millennium dream has come true.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Space City is full of bright lights, full of busy figures, and the round of bright moon overhead is always accompanied by companions, with thoughts thousands of miles away, carrying the expectations of a thousand years away - looking up at the moon, the moonlight is shining, and the shadow is like the owner of the moon palace reaching out to invite. At this moment, I firmly believe that on the journey to the vast universe, we are all united in our will, and where our hearts are, we will achieve what we want!

Since May 10, 2017, the Moon Palace team has launched the "Moon Palace 365" experiment. This experiment is about whether the Lunar Palace team can achieve a major breakthrough in scientific research in the field of biological regenerative life support technology. Every team member is fighting for a common goal, and the volunteers in the cabin are 100% energetic, and the strings in everyone's hearts are tightly tightened, and they dare not slacken off. Just as students cope with the tension before the test, we need appropriate pathways to release stress and maintain a good mental state to better face the challenges of the lab. Therefore, every traditional festival during the "Moon Palace 365" experiment is very exciting, not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On October 4, 2017, the Mid-Autumn Festival finally arrived. According to the living and working schedule, the volunteers in the cabin got up at 6:30 in the morning as usual and carried out food processing, health data measurement and sample collection, daily maintenance of system operation, sample collection and data collection in the cabin in an orderly manner. Everything looked no different from the past, but every volunteer was more excited, because they had a plan for the holiday that had been planned early.

After the lunch break, everyone checked and filled in the gaps and completed all the day's work. Finally sit down and start afternoon tea. Everyone gathered in the exchange room, took out the decorative materials and mooncake molds prepared in the morning, and began to divide labor and cooperate to prepare the Mid-Autumn Dinner according to the recipe. When washing vegetables, we also washed some carrots and colorful potatoes and steamed them together with the steamed buns. After dinner, everyone sat in the exchange room while watching the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, mashed steamed carrots and potatoes, and used the mooncake mold to make orange-yellow, purple and colorful vegetable mooncakes, which had a different flavor and became the most delicious mooncakes in the hearts of the volunteers.

Finally, not to live up to the efforts of the generation of Yuegong people and the support of all parties, on May 15, 2018, the "Yuegong 365" experiment successfully completed various scientific research tasks, and was the world's longest and most closed "human-plant-animal-microbial" four-biological chain biological regeneration life support system ground simulation experiment. International peer experts also highly recognized this, commenting that "'Moon Palace No. 1' is the world's most advanced biological regeneration life support system.". The experimental picture of "Moon Palace 365" was awarded the best scientific picture of Nature magazine in 2017, and the results were selected as the top ten news of the national defense science and technology industry in 2018.

Now, the members of the Moon Palace team are still fighting for a further "Moon Palace Dream". It is believed that through the continuous efforts of generations of scientific and technological personnel, human beings will certainly be able to build a habitable "moon palace" on the moon in the future, and what happens there will become a new story about the moon told by people on the earth.

Chinese looking up at the moon is really a long time ago, and everyone has their own past of watching the moon. The boat is in the middle of the stream, and you can see the moon rising above the east mountain; where the embroidered curtain opens, there may be a little bright moon peeping. People meet naturally with the moon, that is the norm. The various experiences of watching the moon have slowly precipitated in Chinese culture, and the moon seems to be no longer a cold celestial body, but has become an object of talk and a close deceased person.

Therefore, "waiting for the west wing of the moon" has the meaning of looking forward to the visit of the deceased; a pot of old wine is prepared between the flowers, and the moon can be invited to drink. The moon clearly has its own role in your and mine daily lives. "The new moon is like an eyebrow" and "the round posture is for the moon", our eyes on the moon are clearly greeting the old rain that we are familiar with. Even our living space is unconditionally open to the moon: there is a door to invite the moon, there is a xuan for the moon, there is a building in the moon, there is a pavilion for the moon, and there is a bridge for the moon...

Chinese's feelings about the moon have gone beyond objective objects, and people have repeatedly described the closeness of people to the moon. "The full moon on the day of the harvest is on the top of the towering trees", our harvest, the moon has shared; "the night is soft, the moon is like a golden basin", our whispers, the moon has also heard. The moon seems to know the joys and sorrows of the world, and even can enlighten us to think deeply about the universe: "Today's people do not see the ancient time and moon, and this month once illuminated the ancients." If the ancients and today's people flowed water, they all looked at the bright moon together. ”

The ancients and the present, not to mention the sand of the Ganges, but the bright moon they saw was as ancient as ever. In the face of the rising moon and setting day after day, the ancients could even vaguely perceive the mystery behind it. Xin Abandoned Disease used "Tianwen" to compose "Magnolia Slow" to send the moon:

Poor this sunset and moon, where to go, to leisurely? Is it someone else's world, only to be seen over there, the east end of the light and shadow? Is the sky sweaty, but the long wind hao hao hao to send the Mid-Autumn Festival? Flying mirror rootless who is tied? Who doesn't marry?

No wonder the scholar Wang Guowei was surprised: "The poet imagines that the reason for the moon wheel to go around the earth is closely related to the scientist, which can be described as a divine enlightenment!"

The moon is shining, and the vicissitudes are wide. The old moon above our heads has always been a fascinating mystery of the universe. "Who on the banks of the river first saw the moon?" When did Jiang Yue shine at the beginning of the year? "Whether there is an answer or not, people and months, the dialogue will continue.
