Ye Rongrong's eyes follow Liu Qingqing's direction. There is a black spot slowly approaching in the wide distance of the river. However, ye Rongrong can still see clearly that it is a boat sailing on the Yellow River.
"It's a small boat with an old boatman on it!"
As the boat approached, an old boatman in his sixties could be seen on board.
The boat was so small that it was like a dot on the wide yellow river.
The boatman who can handle such a small boat on the Yellow River with complex channels and numerous reefs is very familiar with this section of the Yellow River.
Their main job is to guide the passing ships through this complex section of river.
Without these boatman's approach roads familiar with this section of the river, the passing vessels may run aground carelessly. In the torrent of the Yellow River, once the vessels run aground, it is very dangerous.
Of course, these boatmen also do some river crossing work. If some people want to cross the Yellow River, they have to take their boats.
Of course, sometimes they can get some big jobs. Some tourists like to hire these boatmen to take them along the river in small boats.
"By boat?"
Soon, the boat came near, and the old boatman put on the boat called to Ye Rongrong and his wife.
"No, thank you!"
Ye Rongrong shook his head and said.
As a matter of fact, it's quite a pleasure to swim on the Yellow River in such a boat.
Of course, the risk is also very high. This kind of boat is on the Yellow River. Once it encounters a hurricane or other dangerous situation, if it falls into the Yellow River, the chance of survival is very low.
Because of safety problems, these small cruise ships on the Yellow River are operating illegally. They are attacked by the government and are not allowed to bring passengers on the Yellow River.
However, in the face of interests, many people still operate this kind of business illegally in order to make a living.
Because there is a vast area and few people here, as long as there is no accident, basically no one will come to check.
"Wife, let's go!"
Ye Guangrong looks at the sky, and it's getting dim, so he says to Liu Qingqing.
If you sleep at night, it's the most dangerous to be by the river. Not to mention the possible danger of high tide in the middle of the night, there will be beasts by the river to drink water at night. If you sleep by the river, it's easy to be taken away by the beasts.
All the way to the plateau, finally this altitude reaction appeared.
Last night, ye Guangrong and Liu Qingqing began to have a headache and couldn't sleep.
Ye Guangrong's physical fitness is better, but there is no big problem, but Liu Qingqing can't. She can't sleep all night and has a splitting headache.
Liu Qingqing has never tried this taste. There are many chaotic images in her mind, which are a bit like a dream. She didn't fall asleep at all.
Fortunately, my husband gave me the pills that I had prepared temporarily. It's much better to eat the high altitude reaction.
The next morning, the traffic was on the way to Zhilin.
Zhilin is located in the southeast of Western Tibet, 430 kilometers from Lhasa, with an altitude of only 2900 meters. In Tibetan, Zhilin has the meaning of "Sun throne", which is called "Gongbu" in ancient times.
Originally, according to aviation meteorological calculation, the temperature would drop by 7 degrees for every 1000 meters above sea level. However, due to the vast plateau area, long sunshine time and strong solar radiation, and the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean blowing along the valley of the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, it is not hot in summer and not cold in winter, so it is known as "the south of Tibet in the west" and "Switzerland in the East".
This is the birthplace of the famous Songzanganbu in history.
Ye Rongrong knows little about Tibetan culture, and even less about historical celebrities. But ye Rongrong remembers Songzanganbu very well, because he learned it in junior high school history books.
Songzanganbu was the 33rd Zanpu of Tubo Dynasty, and was actually the king of Tubo Dynasty.
During his reign, he moved the capital to luoxie, calmed the civil strife in Tubo, subdued Yangtong, unified Western Tibet, and formally established the Tubo kingdom ruled by slave owners.
He developed agriculture and animal husbandry production, promoted irrigation, ordered people to make words, issued "grand decrees" to govern Tubo, dealt with the relationship between Zanpu royal family and aristocracy, various small states and all social strata, created administrative and military systems, set up official ranks, promulgated laws and decrees, unified measurement and taxation system, and promoted the all-round development of Tubo politics, economy and culture It established the political, military, economic and legal systems of Tubo, and introduced Buddhism from Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu.
Of course, these are not as famous as his marriage of a Chinese princess. In the 15th year of Zhenguan, Songzanganbu went to Baihai to marry Princess Wencheng.
Er Ye Rongrong studied history and knew that he married Princess Wencheng of Tang clan in China.
If she hadn't taken Princess Wencheng from the Tang clan, I don't think there would have been anything about him in Chinese history textbooks.
"Husband, are they what people call pilgrims?"
Liu Qingqing looks at the people who kneel and kowtow three steps along the way and asks Ye Rongrong."Well, they are pilgrims!"
Ye Guangrong nodded and said.
The pilgrims kowtowed all the way.
Kowtow is a kind of devout worship ceremony for believers and believers in the areas where Tibetan Buddhism is popular.
People who believe in Buddhism firmly believe that pilgrimage can wash away the sins of the past and the present, add infinite merits and virtues, and finally get rid of reincarnation and become a blissful person.
Therefore, on the roads leading to Lhasa or famous Tibetan Buddhist temples, holy mountains and holy lakes, there are always countless monks and secular believers who, with their unique way of kowtowing, look up to the heaven and earth and trudge to the Holy Land in their hearts.
In the long past, the pilgrims came begging along the road with empty hands and unprepared clothes and food.
There are three ways to kowtow.
The kowtow procedure is as follows: first, take a stand at attention position, recite the six character mantra "hum mani Bei Mi Hong", while reciting, put your hands together, hold your head high, and then take a step; continue to put your hands together, move to the forehead, and then take a step; put your hands together, move to the chest, when taking the third step, move your hands away from the chest, parallel to the ground, palm down, knee first After that, stretch your hands forward, bend down and tap your forehead on the ground.
Stand up again and start over. As before, ye Guangrong, the pilgrim he met along the way, belongs to this category.
They are a group of pilgrims. Both men and women wear aprons, sleeves and gloves, and each of them wears a protective device similar to board shoes, which is used for kneeling when they crawl forward.
"Honey, let's give them some money!"
Liu Qingqing thought about it and said.
Before coming to the Tibetan Grassland, Liu Qingqing checked the information on the Internet and knew that these pilgrims also accepted people's alms.
"Good!"
Ye Guangrong nodded, stopped the car, took out more than ten pieces of money with the face value of 20 yuan from his pocket and gave it to Liu Qingqing, saying, "give them alms!"
"Well!"
Liu Qingqing took the money and got off.
The purpose of this trip to the grassland in Western Tibet is to make herself pregnant with a child, so Liu Qingqing will give alms when she meets poor people along the way.
If you don't give much money, it's only ten or twenty yuan.
It's not that ye Guangrong is reluctant to give more money, but that ye Guangrong thinks that giving more money is not a good thing, but a bad thing.
Now there are so many beggars in the city, but people are too kind and give them too much money, which makes them feel that being beggars is easier than going to work in factories.
So that some people will lose the idea of working hard to earn money, but choose to be beggars.
So ye Guangrong did not choose to give more money to these pilgrims.
"Thank you
"Thank you
"The Buddha will bless you!"
Liu Qingqing gave each pilgrim 20 yuan one by one. These pilgrims said to Liu Qingqing with a feeling.
This makes Ye Guangrong a little embarrassed behind Liu Qingqing.
You know, all the money comes out of your pocket, and these people don't appreciate it.
Ye Guangrong looked at the pilgrims. Their clothes and gloves were worn out, which shows the sincerity of the pilgrims along the way.
These Buddhists believe that in practice, a person should kowtow his head at least 10000 times, barefoot when kowtowing to show piety.
"Husband, let's go!"
After paying the pilgrims, Liu Qingqing looks at Ye Guangrong and says.
