Chapter 1126 Folk Song
“So what my cousin just sang was the language of your nation?” Zhou Zhi continued to ask.
"No, we also speak Uyghur now." Xia Mili said: "Many of our ethnic groups now speak Uyghur."
"Oh." Zhou Zhi felt that his The trivia was added: "I was wondering why the tune of this song is so familiar. Now that I think about it, this song is very similar to "Lift Your Hijab"! "
"This is the characteristic of "Ariya". "Xu's father said with a smile: "The Uzbek folk songs mainly include "Upal" and "Ariya". Folk wedding songs and dances have a convoluted structure, simple and lively tunes, and cheerful and enthusiastic moods. Once you start, you can actually keep singing forever.”
"And "Aria" is mainly a song to encourage marriage. It is sung when sending off the bride at a wedding. The melody is short and unique. The music is a two-phrase answer style." "Lift up your hijab" is very similar, that is absolutely correct, because if you look at the lyrics of "Lift up your hijab", in fact It is also a song to encourage marriage. Although one of the two songs is Uzbek and the other is Uyghur, the content is actually similar, the nature is the same, and the melody and musical instruments are also mostly similar."
" It's a bit interesting." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's like Chinese Ci Pai, such as "Huanxisha". The structure and level requirements are the same. If the tune is not lost, it will be one, but the lyrics filled in by each person are different."
"That's what it means!" Xia Mili smiled: "Elbow, can you sing "Lift Your Hijab"? Can you sing that song? Learn "The Girl with Black Eyebrows" "It's just a matter of minutes!"
Then everyone looked at the scenery and sang while driving. This time Xia Mili used Chinese, but with a unique pronunciation. The taste remained the same, and Zhou Zhi also deliberately imitated the accent, causing Sun Gong and Xu's father behind him to laugh.
Later, the two of them also joined in, and everyone roared and sang all the way while running on the road surrounded by vast neighbors and rolling snow-capped mountains on both sides.
Four hours later, we switched to Zhou Zhi Driving. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the music in the car had been changed to soothing light music. The starry sky in the sky was extremely clear, and countless stars were shining.
In the rearview mirror, half of the moon is rising behind.
Zhou Zhi thought of another poem in his mind.
Pedestrians are walking towards the horse, pointing directly to Jicheng.
Jicheng is connected to the north of the desert, and it is far away from my hometown for thousands of miles.
Thousands of beacons on the sea, hundreds of battlefields in the sand.
The military letter was sent to the county, and the spring scenery was in Heyang.
The willows of the Han Palace are curling up, and the mulberry trees are green and green.
The pipa plays the song, and the horizontal flute breaks your heart.
As we chatted, everyone became quiet. Only the soft music, the bright stars in front, the cold moon behind, and the reed swamps and silver-white lake on the side of the road accompanied us as we moved forward.
That is the famous Bosten Lake, and next we will enter the entrance to the Yanqi Basin and the entrance to the desert - Tiemenguan.
After the Iron Gate Pass is Korla. After finding the Tarim River, the journey completely leaves the foothills of the Tianshan Mountains and plunges into the Tarim Basin.
The next halfway destination is Ruoqiang, a branch of the Kunlun Mountains that is located at the end of the Tarim River and confronts the Tianshan Mountains across the Taklimakan Desert. It is an important settlement at the northern foot of the Altyn Mountains.
Only now did Zhou Zhi feel that everyone was taking care of him. At twelve o'clock in the evening, the car was still two hours away from Ruoqiang, and Sun Gong replaced him.
It will be eight o'clock tomorrow morning when I take control of the steering wheel again. Zhou Zhi can actually sleep in the car tonight.
Northern Xinjiang and the mainland are not in the same time zone. Eight o'clock here is equivalent to six o'clock in the morning in the mainland, just in time to welcome the dawn.
Of course, it is also possible that Xu’s father made the arrangement specifically out of concern that he would not be able to keep up with his physical and energy as he came from the capital today without rest.
It is impossible to sleep completely well, but as a young man who is good at staying up late, light sleep is enough to meet his rest needs. I rocked gently in the car, occasionally waking up a few times, and then fell asleep again. When the car clock showed eight o'clock, the sky just started to brighten.
The car stopped in the Cheerchen Valley, and everyone got out of the car to do some simple grooming. Sun Gong found some dry firewood from the bushes and lit a fire to cook milk tea, grilled naan, beef and mutton for everyone.
The morning in the Gobi Desert is also spectacular and beautiful. The sun in the east is about to rise, and purple clouds are already showing on the horizon. The moon on the other side has not yet set, stubbornly showing a trace of light purple in the sky.
“Look! Wild camels!” Sun Gong pointed at the Populus euphratica forest in the valley in the distance with the wooden stick he was holding on to the fire.
A big camel ran out of the Populus euphratica forest, and there was a small camel beside it, running towards a group of camels that could only see a few smaller ones in the distance.
“That’s a newborn camel.” Xia Milili put his hands on the arbor and looked over there: “Now is the peak period for camels to give birth, and female camels will leave the herd and look for a hidden and safe place. Give birth to a camel and then bring it back to the herd.”
Zhou Zhi looked at the mother and son of camels trying to herd in the thin morning mist of the river valley. His heart was filled with awe of nature and he felt the greatness of life. He couldn't help but put his hands to his mouth and shouted: "Live well——"< br>
“It seems that our luck will not be bad.” Xu’s father said: “We can meet wild people. It is auspicious for a camel to give birth."
Sun Gong sighed: "It may not be a real wild camel, it may be a domestic camel that has returned to the wild. After all, real wild camels are too rare now. ."
"Are wild camels rare?" Zhou Zhi didn't know much about this.
“There used to be a lot of them in this area.” Sun Gong said: “The northern slope of the Altyn Mountains was their main breeding ground.”
"There are many wild grasses and shrubs in this area that they like to eat, such as tamarisk, camel thorn, splendens splendens, and white thorn."
"However, they were often killed by hunters, and later there were very few until it was listed as a national The first-level protected animal has just begun to improve."
"Wild camel or national first-level?" Zhou Zhi was shocked: "Same as the giant panda?"
"Yes. "Sun Gong sighed again. : "But our wild camels are not as good as your pandas."
"Indeed, among all national first-class animals, pandas, golden monkeys, and crested ibises have received the most attention." Zhou Zhi nodded and said Tell me a few things you know: "The first two are really cute, and the latter one has a greater international influence. People in the island country regard it as a sacred bird, and it has cooperated with China on many scientific research and protection projects."
"Even animal protection also pays attention to the appearance of a person."
"Hahahaha..." This joke successfully made Sun Gong laugh. He piled the baked naan on top of the roast and handed it to Zhou Zhi: "Eat Let’s have breakfast. Pour the milk tea in the pot by yourself.”
“Speaking of which, if you pass Ruoqiang, you will enter the jade-producing area. Ruoqiang produces a kind of beautiful topaz. It is called Ruoqiang Huangkou material, and it also produces black jade and sapphire."
"Next, in Qiemo, Yutian, and Hotan, the jade material will get better and better."
< br>"Huh?" Zhou Zhi didn't react until now: "Isn't the valley below the Hotan River? The Hotan River is the river connecting Koslash and Alar."
"Huh?" Sun Gong was even more happy: "After working for a long time, which way do you think we are going?"
Father Xu also laughed: "The Hotan River has not built a good road now, let's go now This road is the eastern route of Taklimakan, going around the eastern edge of the desert.”
“ The middle line is the road connecting Luntai and Minfeng. This road directly crosses the desert."
"There is also a western line, which takes Aksu, Yarkand, Yecheng and Hotan. Walking toward the west of the desert”
