I have the Terra Cotta Warriors

Boolean, tai is a Mongolian, was discount ugg boots also a temple's name. I don't understand, Mongolian, this is just a transliteration, years of hometown people are so called. Later in a material on it was translated as "cloth, hooke has tiger". Now how should discuss it called has not much meaning, because it early in the 1960s medium-term sentences in ruins. Now connect ruins are also no longer exists, it had long out of the green grass.


Why I suddenly remind of this had hidden deep in the years of temples? This is because its existence and destruction in my young heart left too deep memory. Years later, I to its historical and cultural value and significance of its existence to have the profound understanding, it often makes me feel most difficult, human understanding and grasping the hardest instead of AIDS, not visitors from outer space, but the man himself. Boolean, tai temple in ordos plateau abdomen - dongsheng area bayan aobao township northwest 10 kilometers, it is located in UGG ashur a fangyuan within three square kilometers of small basin, building area of the temple of about 400 much square metre, in the lush flat-surface with brick stone built a fortress, gantrywhileworking square brick bandage, extended ZhuMen ryukyu top, like "journey to the west" in the seat dear recoba sound temple.


Basin TuLing basin, and all the hills, but Ji lush grasses synephrine, salt, inch grass and artemisia and malianhe platycladus such plants as a lush. This in dry regions in western China, have already been regarded as sweet prairie. Then small population, cattle also not much, several surrounding teams are there grazing. Mainly cows and mules alive. My father is there to release your horse teams. I was still less than alone could release your horse's age, just for riding, and often followed his father. Proverb says, ma3 wu2 ye4's grass isn't fat. So the UGG Retro Cargo horse in the night is not answered the tents of circle. Summer grass is beautiful, the sky stars special dense, also special bright. In the evening, oxen and sheep, and ass prescriptive place such as noise subside, grassland relatively quiet a lot of, night piece, grassland a hazy, fastened on the bells of the horses neck out different musical sound, relying on horse bell can know which horse in what position, whether from the group go far. The grass is telling the mules alive "TuTu" from playing XiangBi sound. I dress lying on the temple on stage, under a HeiSha felt, this felt not FanChao, blankets to until after midnight, because the wee hours only use a dew. Father and several release your horse's uncle sat together on LaHua, drought smoke YanGuo flame, and destroyed one bright atrium twinkle spark summit. Of the lunar calendar, September 14, I follow the adults here, look GanMiaoHui demons and ghosts jump jump Mongolian a ritual activities, similar to the south NuoXi performance. First saw it wince all sorts of magic face, scared me straight cry, dare not look to still want to see again, evening sleep in mom's woli, eyes close their eyes, at present the total wiggling the appalling NiuTouMaMian.


Temples are always going to build in the mountains of, highlight "hidden" word, in order to avoid the worldly CARES, and Boolean, tai temple why choose such a place? Seems really quite fee conjecture. If want me to make a reasonable explanation, I thought that is entirely due to the objective of financial geographical conditions. Western ordos plateau hilly region, although have UGG Roseberry belongs to the mountain slopes, but rather than they are gentle, undulating hills, rather than a super-large mound. Agains t bare, vegetation surface, as a sparse buddhist lamaism, since want ChuanJing sermons, purdue beings, also cannot build addresses to the temples of overly criticize. Choose a hydrophytes sweet place, also be the purity of the Buddha holy. Not only Boolean, tai temple so, most of the ordos plateau on called temple also is so, most ancient history and biggest WangAiZhao called temple, which was built in Yellow River south plains both dala beach. But during the Anti-Japanese War is Japanese aircraft cast bomb blasted into ruins. Now, the famous ZhunGeEr, also called on the flat land carrier for more than 300 years, actulaay thankful for. These temples though no head, qunfeng tree cover protective hideaway, but next round the breeze of the stars and cleansed, so to set its brightest moon and essence, absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, and cloth against the Buddha's path intention. The morning MuGu equally dances and confer, bring thunder, cigarettes if the fog.


At the beginning of the 1960s, Boolean, tai temple monks are few and far on in years. Called temple of YouRenGu live nearby also already. A few household lama were made couldn't abide by clean, mixed with the pigsty henhouse, chicken calls between farmer and bark donkey call sheep baa and flooded old lama in the brazier before that you hatred sitzen turn by the bell and chanting voice. That sit experienced more than 300 years harships, natives called "alone melon" joss house, on the steps has brought forth growing up weeds, lock, the crow and sparrows archway in faded coloured glaze top act sensitively wandering, send sound puzzled post-colonial regret. They fly tired, above stop, then go to find new paradise. Rest UGG Roxy Short this sat alone temples, stand out in XiYan "hero" under the earth fields. In the temple of the land is hit, a lonely sits on the earth, and to hear the lotus tower outside blatant, hopelessly expecting believers worship, lost to the door yesterday magnificence, remembering how to BeiChu, their heart lawsuit speechless.


By midway in 1967, broken capitalism and made four new "the storms of the native land. Suddenly one day, the revolutionary the rebel, HuLaLa aholibah hoe hold picks streamed temples, roared down before the NiuGuiSheShen feudalism and overthrow the thundering slogans, must battle the tree feudalism big poisonous weeds. Called the temple nearby, an old man to stand up, blocking archway, facing near-madness crowd, voice tears accompany bottom way: "Hank steinbrenner (artists dialect, old elder to junior nickname), dare not dismantle wow, you ungodly for also just, let it's wow, hundreds of years, and in a few life, it's old ancestors left! You ruined it true too regrettable! Hank steinbrenner, however, people -- the" old act as UGG Payton red guards say, it's purely praying mantis arm when the car, the old man of hot slogans shouted with anger at once was pulled on the site by the tyrannised tyrannised, of course, the several NiuGuiSheShen of XiaoZiXianSun old lama.


MAO! Archway was broke.


Boom! The Buddha statue is being knocked down.


Pieces of religious art treasures smashed, all its utensils such as plates, silver bowl, red woodcarving dish, bag in the scriptures silks and satins chuai are the rebel of bosom, rolls of scripture to toss temple outside, lit, flaming combustion, usually like each of black wizard, with dense smoke twisted difficult to rise. Hall, rubble poured down the land, ChuanLin horizontal Chen. A cost tens of 10 thousand two silver, set human thousands of wisdom of constructing religious culture hall, instantly become ruins. History and culture of the dignified UGG Kensington and solemn, in ignorance and savage presence can be so vulnerable.


Several of the old monk, by labor day low head from the ruins walk through, TouYan look, decades QingDengHuangJuan expectations but didn't get Buddha yisiyihao's mercy and protection, fo dim, Buddha read like ash.


Several months later, the ruins built two rows of classroom, is production brigade of the non-government schools, knock down the old civilization after, build a new civilization, is the so-called "not only good at destroying the old world, also be good at creating a world." The slow process of Chinese civilization, and the reason is, people always consciously or unconsciously in "destroys the heavy" way round wandering. Young children in vain yi ah ah, as if mocking and curse ancient yesterday. Read the third grade me, sitting in the Buddha was sitting position, mouth with sayings, recite eyes enjoying the roof of the colorful and deformed color painted beams.


Several years later, several nearby village constantly people get sick, illustrates YouRenGu without reason, constantly happened a disturbance, village people are privately talk, said all related with that tear open temple. Don't know whether there really deity in offend punishment, or an incidental coincidence, or rather talk out of the temple of behavior or diseased dismantling of resentment and opportunists rejoice and vent. But followed by is that production brigade and communes barefoot doctors began to be left out in the cold and ShenHan, Mr. Yin and Yang ShenPo and began stealthily discrepancy in diseased door. Gradually, the village of hills, have a year of temple mostly some things, with the temple made of wood furniture, and from the house or animal circle tent on down to the rafters cypresses. Village again and said, they must have hit with imcapable of items, and can't return to secretly on hills, heaven MingJian to show his once the deity blasphemed repent.


Before some year I went back to his hometown, he lifted up his eyes and gazing out several times, near near hill, built Bridges small temple, the area one or two square meters, a few feet high is not full, pallet to an extraordinary degree. I don't know the good people of nature of refraction return or foolish again to grow. Her chest bouts of uncontrollable pain. It started UGG Sheepskin Cuff reminds me that one brilliant called temple, remember the flourishing lousy splashed temple fair, remember that a ruin.


In the evening, I seemed to hear that the same shock ear, saw the big bring before the temple that raised the temple fair. At the meeting are filled with hometown native products, filled up with from the town to all kinds of novel trafficking commodity. Hold the WuNong soft language southern merchants even mouth of the YangHua blonde practises issued marvel that they only know the far east has the Great Wall, the imperial palace, gusu HanShanSi to them anyway also did not expect, in ordos into the northwest of China, in such a common hinterland couldn't be ordinary shan PiRang, unexpectedly also have such an unique pour religious buildings, there is such a perfect blend of religion and folk culture in a furnace of temple fair. They that migrating arrogance instantly ice disappear. Their legs finally soft, the "plop" 1 to his knees in before the temple, creeping UGG Upside ancient Chinese history and culture feet, long keep not waist, not for hit knees, but to a national bow. They climbed, across the stream, polite humbly with folks
