Prose on the gathering of teachers and students of the first song of the Yellow River in technical secondary school alumni association
In the crisp autumn of September, 1991, forty-six students from Xiahe, Zhuoni, Lintan, Zhouqu, Diebu, Maqu and Wenxian in Longnan were admitted to Class 2, Grade 91, Gannan Tibetan Secondary Vocational School, which is located in Hezuo Town, Pearl of Plateau and Dameiling City, thus starting a four-year secretarial major in secondary vocational schools. During the past four years, under the inculcation of teachers, the students studied hard and worked hard. When graduation approached, with the active coordination of the head teacher, they changed the previous practice of practicing first and then taking the graduation exam. After successfully completing the final graduation exam, they contacted the school. In late May 1995, they went to Diebu to go to various departments directly under the county for a one-month internship and graduated smoothly on July 4. In that year, forty-six students were assigned to grass-roots towns and departments of party and government organs in counties, cities and Wenxian counties in the state or engaged in secretarial work or other work. Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been more than twenty spring and autumn. During the period, except the students assigned in the same county, there was not much contact between the students, and the news was difficult to get through. Nowadays, although it is the Internet age, when people reach middle age, their laziness is increasing, their passion is decreasing sharply, there is a lack of communication between classmates, and the chances of meeting each other are even rarer. Last summer, students working in Diebu, a beautiful mountain city, first called for the first gathering in Baishui, Dieshan, in order to thank Mr. Rumble for his kindness and facilitate students' contact with each other, thus successfully realizing the first gathering of students 21 years after graduation. At that time, due to something, I couldn't get what I wanted. This summer, just when I graduated for twenty-two years, five students from Maqu, who fought at the first bend of the Yellow River in the world, carefully organized a friendship meeting between students and teachers. Twenty-five students and four invited teachers arrived from all counties on the afternoon of July 21st, but other teachers and students were not able to come because of the company and complicated family affairs.
During the two-day weekend, the first stop on the schedule was that Maqu students took everyone to visit the famous scenic spot Nianbaoyuze National Geopark in jiuzhi county, Qinghai, which is 158km away from the first song. Bathed in the warm sunshine in the morning and breathing the fresh air on the plateau, several cars drove out of Maqu County one after another in the early morning and walked on the asphalt road leading to jiuzhi county at a lightning speed. It was the first time for many of our classmates to take this route. Along the way, because many places are under construction, there are many loading and unloading vehicles for pulling sand and carrying earth, and culverts are built, the speed is always difficult to mention in a long section. The grassland in Maqu is so flat and wide, and it is known as "the best natural pasture in Asia", which I think is worthy of the name. Once out of the boundary of Maqu, the altitude not only continues to increase, but also the hills gradually increase. The green grassland is no longer as endless as Maqu, and the mountains on all sides are gradually increasing. According to the consistent thinking of ordinary people, the higher the altitude, the flatter the terrain. However, this long-term trip has completely broken my initial thoughts. On the way, at the Sangchitai Pass, a plateau at an altitude of 4, meters, everyone stopped at the Xia Feng and scattered a large number of Long Da, which symbolizes auspiciousness and harmony. After that, they continued to move forward. Before driving to jiuzhi county City, the towering mountainous terrain twisted all the way forward, except that there were green pastures and lush low shrubs everywhere on the rolling low mountains. The dazzling golden flowers of golden dew plum bloomed everywhere in many places. On the way, I arrived at a place called "Luanshityakou", where there are scattered gray-white stones everywhere. It is true that these scattered stones of different sizes are full of stars and extend all the way forward. The distribution is really beautiful. They are not gathered together, but scattered all over the vast Yuan Ye under the sky. The area is very large, and they are all the way forward, at least spreading. It's like sheep scattered on the grassland and white pearls scattered all over the green grassland. It's really beautiful, but the name "Luanshityakou" is a bit too vulgar, perhaps it's easy to remember, at least it makes people feel that it lacks a little cultural charm. I think there must be a beautiful legend related to these beautiful stones in the local area. Along the way, the mountains of different heights are mixed with roads, and there are many twists and turns that need to climb the mountain and cross the river and ridge. This situation is even worse when we are about to arrive in jiuzhi county City. As I was in a hurry, the car slowly passed through Jiuzhi County without stopping.
It was dusty all the way. At last, when everyone went to the scenic spot, the road stopped, and vehicles could not enter. There were many tourists from all over the world inside and outside the parking lot. Although they were not tourists, they were still very dark. Men, women and children were different. To be sure, except some tourists, most of the people who came here came for the sacred and lofty belief in their hearts, because there were gods who were famous in Tibetan areas. The vast grassland is full of people, bustling, and tourists are dressed brightly, wearing sunglasses or speaking dialects and Tibetan in different places. Some of these noisy tourists come in company, some are family-style, some are lonely tourists without borders, and some are bus teams organized by travel agencies. Among them, there are tourists, pilgrims, people who experience the wild life in the plateau, and there are many tourists and mixed purposes, but I think that in today's economically developed and materialistic world, Baptism wearies the body and mind, delights the pleasure of mountains and rivers, cultivates impetuous mood, returns to the embrace of nature, and seeks to return to nature. Perhaps only some tourists are pregnant with "the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is bustling, all for profit "that narrow seems a bit selfish dream. Originally, I also made the following prediction: in this corner of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is extremely high in altitude, cold and oxygen-deficient, and sparsely populated, there must be few tourists and few people, but the reality in front of me immediately overthrew my expectation. Therefore, it is inevitable that there are many fallacies in speculating.
after we drove the car to the parking lot, the hardened parking lot was already full of all kinds of vehicles, so we had to choose a vacant space on the temporary sandy land under the road according to the instructions of the management and park all the vehicles one by one. After all the seven cars were parked properly, everyone calmly walked to the center of the scenic spot and arrived at the simmering platform. It took a long time for everyone to pull up the five-color prayer flags prepared earlier with traditional Tibetan customs, which was a devout worship to the favorite Nianbao Jade Mountain. Because small pieces of five-color prayer flags should be connected into several long prayer flags with a length of more than 2 meters according to the order of different colors, therefore, After that, there was a mulberry-simmering activity. During the mulberry-simmering, thunder suddenly sounded in the slightly gloomy weather earlier, and suddenly there was a shower accompanied by thunder. It was not long, and it was sunny again. After the shower, the plateau sky was blue and the blue sky was like a mirror, which was a little brighter than before. The altitude here has reached 4,2 meters. Fortunately, there are very few altitude sickness sufferers, which is a blessing. Otherwise, it will not only make those who don't respond nervous, but also make those who are uncomfortable feel uncomfortable and suffer, so it is inevitable for everyone to worry about it. After that, everyone walked to the Fairy Lake in the sacred lake on the side of the sacred mountain to feed the fish in the house, which was a charity move during the trip. This fairy lake is surrounded by mountains, but there is such a "dammed lake"-like plateau freshwater lake among the mountains. It is really "the high gorge comes out of Pinghu, and the goddess should be safe". Strolling, the rainstorm plummeted again, the rain roared, the sky was dark, and suddenly I felt cold all over, and my clothes were wet, but after all, it was hot in summer, so I didn't have time to defecate and dry. The weather on the plateau is really changeable. It rains twice in a short time. Such a sight is only available on the plateau, and it is rare in other places in the mainland. For this scene, the old squad leader, who was born and raised in the pastoral area, has his own unique views according to the folk customs of the Tibetan people. He said: This is auspicious rain. Only when the nobles come to the blessed land can they be lucky, and those who have no chance can't meet them!
talking and laughing, everyone filed forward on the lawn plank road leading to the lake. Laughter and laughter continued, songs and roars echoed, and the atmosphere was particularly warm and the crowd was particularly excited. Standing here, I looked up and saw the dazzling white snow in the lotus-shaped Linli Gorge about 1 kilometers away from the lake. It's true that there are four seasons in one mountain and different days in ten miles. The peaks and valleys are covered with snow, and the grass is under the mountains. Walking to the lakeside, everyone carefully studied the crystal clear plateau lake here, and wiped their eyes with the clear water in the lake, which made them feel refreshed. Everyone not only praised the natural and flawless lake water and the beautiful plateau scenery of the huge Nianbaoyuze scenic spot, but also applauded the perfectly protected green ecology on the plateau. Teachers and classmates picked up their mobile phones from time to time to take pictures, leaving many rare' beautiful shadows'. Since then, while tearing their own steamed buns and throwing them into the Fairy Lake to feed freshwater fish, everyone used their mobile phones to shoot the scene of fish swarming and tumbling. Because the fish in the lake are fed by tourists who are waiting for food, as long as people are noisy, they flock to the lake to wait for food. This kind of crowded and enthusiastic scene looks very spectacular, which is in stark contrast to the phenomenon that fish in other places avoid human voices and hear the sound. Crowds of plateau stone fish suddenly swam to this side and dived into the depths. Although I have seen the scene of fish competing for food before, it is the first time in my life that large-scale dark fish rushed to roll and grab food and hit the water, jumped out of the lake and splashed, then dived into the underwater sand layer and disappeared away. The vivid image of harmony between man and nature is vividly reflected here, which fully shows that the Tibetan people living on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are messengers to protect nature and guardians to protect creatures. We all competed here to take photos and take a group photo as a souvenir. At this time, a female classmate had a severe altitude sickness, so she strolled to the parking place with the help of another female classmate to take oxygen. Thanks to the full preparation of Maqu's classmates, we all breathed a sigh of relief, and that classmate recovered soon after taking oxygen.
After the tour, it was past two o'clock in the afternoon, so I went back by the same way. On the way, I had to pass through Jiuzhi County under the jurisdiction of Guoluo Prefecture. Except the students from Maqu, it was the first time for everyone to come to jiuzhi county. Jiuzhi County was small, and the municipal construction and prosperity seemed to be inferior to any county and city in Gannan, but the altitude was higher than that of Maqu. Soon after Jiuzhi County, everyone entered the territory of Maqu, and there they were. Take down the mutton, melons and other foods prepared early in the morning. At this time, all of us were already empty and hungry, so we sat on the floor and ate Chinese food in a hurry. In less than an hour, we wolfed down a unique grassland picnic, which will remain in our memory forever. After the meal, it was already 3: 3, so we moved on. When the motorcade arrived at the endless Qingqing Awancang, everyone stopped here for a long time, competing to take pictures. Originally, we were going to visit the splendid Nyangma Temple in Jinbi and the tallest and largest giant Mani prayer cone in Amdo Tibetan area, but because it was late, we got off here and took pictures while enjoying the vast and boundless natural grassland in Fiona Fang for more than ten miles. The trip to the plateau, though extremely cold and oxygen-deficient, makes people very tired, but it reminds people of the beautiful scenery along the way and the kind of pleasant taste in the natural landscape, and makes people feel that the harvest along the way is full. After lunch in Maqu County, I watched colorful Tibetan folk songs and interactive pot dance performances by local folk artists. It was already past 1 o'clock in the evening, and the night in the summer on the plateau was already deep. Although the street lights were on all the way, the night on the plateau seemed to be quiet everywhere, which was in sharp contrast to the sleepless days in mainland cities. It was getting late, so everyone took an early night to stay and rest.
The next day, it was a beautiful day, and everyone got up early. As Maqu County was built in a huge flat beach above the plateau, it was a vast expanse of gray, and it was difficult to see mountains and rivers around it. Only the faint outline of the muddy yellow Yellow River winding at the end of the sky came into view. From a distance, it was like a yellow sand mudflat. Maqu has a flat terrain, and in the morning, as long as the sun jumps out of the horizon, it shines on the vast grassland. Therefore, the dawn here seems to come earlier than other places, making people feel that at first light, the rising sun has spread all over the earth, and the whole county seems to be bathed in golden yellow. When I got up early in the morning, I opened the curtains and looked up at the sky. It was another rare sunny day, and I washed myself nervously. Everyone agreed to eat breakfast in a hurry, so I first drove to Xiangsi Temple outside the town in a corner of the suburbs according to the previously scheduled itinerary.
Waixiang Temple is built on a low hill, and it climbs slowly along the mountain road by car. In front of it is a terrace, which is the most ideal place to continue upward and stand on a high place overlooking the whole Maqu County. Although the terrain here is high, the vegetation on the plateau has never disappointed the mountains and rivers here. God seems to have a special preference and pity for the ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There are green grass everywhere under the blue sky and white clouds under the sky. Standing on the low mountain bag, bathed in the soft light of the morning sun, breathing the fresh and pure air that can't be fresh any more, which is only available on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, makes people feel really cool. The Great Sutra Hall of Waixiang Temple is under repair, which is not right for the time being.
