Ili River: Another river flowing westward in Xinjiang, it allows people here to follow the laws of nature

I originally planned to travel for the Spring Festival, but gave up because I had to respond to the call to celebrate the New Year on the spot.

After attending the entertainment with relatives, the day suddenly became leisurely.

Then I watched the Xinjiang TV documentary "Ili River".

There are many documentaries about Xinjiang: "At the Foot of the Tianshan Mountains", "I Come from Xinjiang", "Taste of Xinjiang", "The Legend of Kashgar", "A Moveable Feast", "Four Chapters of Kashgar", etc. , and the first episode "Xinjiang" in "Aerial China". In addition, NHK in Japan also has three movies including "New Silk Road", "Undiscovered China-Western Region Adventure" and "I Go to Xinjiang".

But what makes me ashamed is that apart from "Taste of Xinjiang", I have never watched any other movies.

When I first saw "Ili River", I subconsciously wanted to slide it over, but I couldn't help but click on it because I really wanted to know more about the Ili area, even though I have been there. We have been to Yili several times, but in such a hurry, we only left photos of the beautiful scenery and still know too little about its history and culture.

After opening it, I was fascinated by the voice of the explanation.

In the three episodes that have been aired, each episode uses a distinctive family or individual as the story unit, using their personal experiences to connect the status and role of the Ili River in the minds of the Ili people. .

The flow direction of the Ili River has never been understood, and even its source has always been thought to originate outside Xinjiang.

After watching the dynamic map at the beginning of the documentary, I finally understood the source and direction of the Ili River. I finally understood the explanation of the Ili River on Baidu:

One of its origins is a place called Paradise Lake, just on the Wusun Ancient Road. The starting point of the Wusun Ancient Road is Qiongkush Terrace.

Paradise Lake, also called Akekule Lake, is located on the Wusun Ancient Trail. Since the Wusun Ancient Trail can only be hiked and is extremely difficult, only experienced hikers can complete it, so not many people can see the true appearance of Paradise Lake.

The touch of blue in the deep mountains is like a blue gem inlaid in the mountains, shining and extremely beautiful.

However, after flowing through the Tekes River and converging with the Konaisi River and the Kashgar River, this beautiful lake turned into a river the color of the Yellow River.

If the water of the Ili River was as clear as the water of the Tekes River, then it would definitely be more beautiful than it is now.

After the confluence of three major rivers, the Ili River flows westward, out of Ili, out of Xinjiang, into Kazakhstan, and then across canyons and deserts, flowing into Lake Balkhash.

Unlike the Irtysh River, another large river flowing westward in Xinjiang, the Irtysh River eventually flows into the Arctic Ocean, becoming the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean, thus allowing It has a great reputation.

The Ili River is the largest river in Xinjiang, but it did not eventually enter the sea. After flowing for more than 1,200 kilometers, it flowed into the lake.

However, because it is the largest river in Xinjiang, the entire Ili River Valley has become exceptionally beautiful because of its moisture, making Ili the largest scenic spot in Xinjiang.

The Yili region is the Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. The Kazakh people living here are mainly nomadic. They follow the laws of nature and walk on the road of transition all year round.

In spring, the ice and snow on the grassland have not yet completely melted, but the time has come for the Pegasus in the Zhaosu herdsman’s house to give birth. As soon as the little foal left the mother’s body, it stood crookedly. It woke up, but it didn't know how to suck its mother's milk.

The shepherd used a pair of small pliers to make a permanent mark on the foal's ear. The pain finally made the foal seek the protection of its mother, and finally found comfort in its mother's milk. After sucking the mother's milk, it will grow stronger day by day.

In the next winter, when it runs on the cold snowfield, it becomes a qualified Pegasus.

Not all Kazakhs will choose to herd, but the work of those Kazakhs who no longer herd is also related to their ancient life customs, such as equestrianism, fishing and hunting, and using Adelai Silk Clothing.

The young man named Ahe Jiaoli has been getting along with horses day and night since he was a child, and this interaction also made him like the feeling of riding a horse and galloping. He was fascinated by the feeling of riding a horse like the wind. , he has been training in the equestrian team since he was 8 years old. In the equestrian team, he is already a veteran member.

In Zhaosu, because this is the hometown of Tianma, horse racing is held every week, and some major international events are also held here. Only equestrian athletes who place in the competition here will be favored by horse owners.

Ahejiaoli’s seniority does not mean that he can always win in horse racing. A failure may be the horse’s fault or his own fault, but for the horse owner, it is If you perform improperly, you will fail, and you may not be selected in subsequent games.

In order to redeem himself from failure, Ahejiaoli moved his luggage to the stables before the competition. He and his horse lived together day and night. Only by establishing a good relationship can he move his luggage to the stables in the subsequent competitions. Get the win.

Every July, the flood season of the Ili River comes. There are many fish in the inlet at the intersection of the three rivers. These fish will stay here before the flood comes, and this time is also The best time to cast your net for fishing.

Alpati, a young man who learned fishing from his father since childhood, paddles a raft on the Ili River every day. Paddling on such a current is not an easy task. Only experienced fishermen can Only people can control it freely.

Various fish species grow in the Ili River: pike, alpine fish, silver carp, crucian carp, carp, grass carp, white stripe, bullhead fish, blue and yellow croaker, etc. In Alpati’s words, in the Three Rivers The meeting place, where those fish have a meeting.

Perhaps the fish in the three rivers recognized each other after meeting, or perhaps there was a division of territory between them. In short, when the fish gathered there, it was also Alpati who lowered the net. time. The same black ducks were fishing at the same time as him, but while they were fishing for them, Alpati was fishing for his own. To make a living from the river, you can only follow the laws of nature.

Before watching this documentary, I always thought that Kazakh food was mainly beef and mutton. But after watching it, I realized that it turns out that what we say about the land and water supporting the people is really true. reason. Why can’t Kazakhs fish and hunt?

College student Gu Lina Lanmu originally only wanted to open an old-fashioned sewing shop, but accidentally developed it into an enterprise that can solve the work problems of 100 women in the village. What she did was to implant the natural elements from the Ili River into the national fabric Adelai silk, and use them to design clothing that conforms to the trend of the times.

The Ili River is the mother river of the people of Ili. It gives the people living around it the wisdom of life.

Ahejiaoli rode his "dark horse" in a recent competition and finally won the championship. He will continue to go on in his career for a long time, and he will follow him He has established a closer relationship with his horse than his family. Only by sincerely making friends with the horse will the horse fight with him at the most critical moment. This is the wisdom of an equestrian.

Alpati does not want to be a greedy fisherman, because he knows that only by taking appropriately from nature can he obtain long-term and generous returns. When he learned that his sister, who was studying away from home, had returned, even though the fish he caught was not enough to sell, he still brought back a few to give his sister, who had been away from home for a long time, a taste of this place. Because he also knows that what is closer than making money is the affection between relatives. Only a fisherman who loves his family can gain more in the future. This is the wisdom of a fisherman.

Gu Lina Lanmu’s dream is to give all craftsmen in the village a platform to showcase themselves. Only in this way can Adelaide be passed on from their generation to the next generation, and the next generation again. Only in this way can a generation leave this eternal inheritance. This is the wisdom of a fashion designer.

All this wisdom comes from the river around them called the Ili River. When the river water nourishes this land, it also nourishes the people of this land, allowing them to have their own Wisdom, and use this wisdom to make this land more beautiful.

Write at the end:

The Yili region does not only have Nalati, nor does it only have famous scenic spots like Kalajun. In every place, every There is always a touching story hidden in a seemingly inconspicuous corner, and it is these stories that make the Ili area more beautiful.

Therefore, when traveling to Yili, in addition to choosing famous scenic spots, you can also go to less famous villages. Maybe you can also discover unexpected stories there, so as to Make your travel more exciting.
