The main means of transportation for the people of Kashgar is electric motorcycles. When it is time to get off work, motorcycles of various brands roar past. The starting price of a taxi is 5 yuan, which is the standard of a prefecture-level city in terms of price. Xiangfei's tomb is not too far from the city, so let's take a taxi. It is really troublesome to reverse the bus here.
When it comes to Concubine Xiang, people will associate with Princess Xiangxiang in Jin Yong's novel "Book of Enmity and Enmity", which is indeed somewhat related. But at first, if you had to ask about the Tomb of the Concubine Xiang, not many locals knew about it, but if you had to ask about Apak Hoga Mazar, the locals were very familiar and would be able to point you to the location right away. Huojia means the descendants of saints, Mazar means mausoleum, and Bazaar means market. Don't think that the Xiangfei Tomb just reminds you of a woman. Its meaning in the hearts of Uighurs is to commemorate a great man and his family. Apakhoja once won the hereditary power of the Yarkand Dynasty. Uyghur women need to go back to their natal family for burial after death. As the concubine of Emperor Qianlong, Xiang Fei was actually buried in the Yufei Garden of the Eastern Qing Tomb in Hebei. What was buried here was only the clothes she used during her lifetime.
The mausoleum was first built in 1640 and consists of a gate tower, high and low mosques, the main tomb, the scripture hall, and the Jiaman mosque. The main tomb is the largest dome-shaped building in Xinjiang, which can be regarded as a model of Uyghur architectural art. The whole building is 26 meters high, 35 meters long and 29 meters deep. The four corners are columns half-embedded in the wall. Blue is the main tile with various patterns, and there are exquisite blue plaster carvings on both sides of the tomb door. The tomb contains 58 tombs of 72 people from five generations of the Apakhoja family. The larger tombs are for men, the smaller ones are for women, and the youngest are for children. The two largest tombs located in the innermost place, the one with green strips on it is the first generation of missionaries, and the one with red strips is the second generation of missionaries, that is, Apak Hoja. The one covered with red cloth in the northeast corner belongs to Xiangfei. There is a carriage in the tomb, which is said to have transported the remains of Concubine Xiang.
The Jiaman Mosque is a courtyard-style building, and the carvings on the 62 red pillars are all repeated. Next to the gate tower are the high and low mosques, the high mosque is for worship in summer, and the low mosque is for worship in winter. The ceiling painting and plaster carvings of Gaobai Mosque have high artistic value.
East Bazaar was not too lively when I went there, I heard that Sunday is the most interesting time. You can find adelais silk, hats, Ingisar knives, dried fruits, handicrafts, etc. in the souvenir section. I bought a catty of bagged apricots here and brewed them for tea. The taste is rich and thirst-quenching. After brewing, take them out and eat them again.
There was still some time in the afternoon, so I followed the navigation and walked to see the modern side of Kashgar—East Lake Park, to see the brilliance there. Passing through People's Park, the city hall is opposite. East Lake Park is the largest park in Kashgar, with a large water area. Motorboats pass through the water from time to time, and there are children in the square who are learning roller skating hard. At 9:30 in the evening, the sky was still bright, and the lights on several passing bridges were first lit, and the subtitles "Happy Teacher's Day" were displayed on the LED walls of the nearby buildings. I stayed by the lake for a while, thinking that this trip was still free and casual, and I didn’t feel like I was exhausted from following the tour group. I rested when I was tired, ate when I was hungry, or chatted with suitable people and listened to them. Talk about anecdotes about the journey, and read books if there is nothing to do.
When I arrived at Ordashik Road, I tasted snacks such as rice sausages and noodle lungs. I am not too used to eating them, but the stomach offal in a bowl is more delicious. By the way, I asked for a large piece of cantaloupe, and finished eating it like the locals squatted there. There are three kinds of prices for large, medium and small figs here. Three large ones are 10 yuan, four medium ones are 10 yuan, and five small ones are 10 yuan. I bought three large ones and took them home to pick them up. I saw something like the moose-faced steamed bun in my hometown, and it was also called naan when I asked, so I bought one. I asked someone who knew Chinese on the side of the road, and only then did I hear the homophonic name "Sahara".
It was 10:30 when I got back to my residence. The lobby was still full of guests. I found an open space to sit down. The girl next to me asked me if I was engaged in engineering. Maybe it was because I was wearing some outdoor clothes. She also asked me if I was traveling. travel. After chatting, I realized that her hometown is Qin'an, not far from my hometown Tongwei, so she is really a fellow. Her partner is from Shenzhen, and they met online, and this kind of gameplay is also considered to be knowledgeable. This woman is also not simple. She once walked around Qinghai Lake for 7 days, and traveled with a male companion on the Sichuan-Tibet line. It is said that it is most convenient to take a man and a woman to block the car, and the two sides also have a mutual support.
When talking about why modern people don’t have as deep an understanding of nature as the ancients, and when they are so impetuous, I talked about a passage in "A Fang Gong Fu" "Star Yingying... Standing farsighted, but hopeful", saying this In fact, it is a process for women in the palace to get up and dress up. Speaking of "Si Shu with Zhu Yuan", if you put yourself into the text, is it just a process of touring the canyon on the water, with close-ups, distant views, static scenes, dynamic scenes, plants, animals, and thoughts , have enlightenment. Originally, these articles were already familiar to me, and I picked them up casually. They also asked me if I was a language teacher. The biggest gain from chatting on this trip is that I recommended Kanas in northern Xinjiang and the walking route, which made me perceive the meaning of "seeing the scenery in northern Xinjiang" in the later stage. Divide the three figs and eat them. The core of the dish is clean. It is already 11:30, let's rest.
