One move--blue sheep:


It is a national second-class protected animal, and its coat color is the same as that of Helan Mountain, which is the natural self-protection color of blue sheep. The petite blue sheep's four hooves and knee bones are dark blue, and the hooves and knees are connected by strong black lines, just like a mountain elf wearing sexy black silk. Your beautiful eyes are looking forward, I'm afraid you will look up and sigh and turn a blind eye to her. Blue sheep with tenacious vitality can climb rocks and walk walls ten days after they are born, jump freely between cliffs, and can reach a distance of 2-3 meters. It's a pity that the beauty is so unlucky, and the average lifespan of blue sheep is only about 15 years.


The blue sheep carved in relief on the cliff are as quiet as virgins, looking up into the distance; the jubilant blue sheep in the emerald sea are looming, real and unreal.



A Quiet - Rock Paintings:


Helan Mountain rock paintings have a history of 3,000-10,000 years ago, and the creation period can be traced back from Xixia to Spring and Autumn. The content involves animal husbandry, hunting, dancing, conquests and even sacrifices. The rock paintings seen today include monkey faces, deer, horses, sheep, wolves and other animal images, as well as pictographs, abstract symbols, totems, etc. Among them, the rock paintings of the sun god have attracted much attention. Sun worship has always been a global hot topic. As for the true meaning of the rock paintings of the sun god that appeared here, I am afraid that only the ancient painters can answer. Of course, as long as you want, you can conceive the story in your heart based on what you have seen and heard. Everyone has their own way of understanding and narrative style. Some people see mountains as mountains, and water as water; some people see mountains as body, and water as soul. Life is short, so what's the harm in entertaining yourself now and then.

The area where the petroglyphs of Helan Mountain are publicly displayed is a U-shaped gully mouth, with the river channel as the axis, turning counterclockwise along the river channel, and there is a place engraved with sheep, horses, deer and other animals where sheep, horses, deer and other animals are concentrated. Rock paintings, in ancient times, there were no such certificates as "invoices" or "property certificates". It is said that the ancients would carve their own animals on the rocks to declare their ownership of these properties. You must know that the ancients were very honest (it’s impossible to talk about not closing the door at night, and the sky was still on the floor at that time), if it is put aside for now, modern people who think they are smart might give the deer’s mouth that they have already drawn, The horns, tail, and four hooves were slightly changed, and then it was said that it was not the deer of the old Wang next door but the unique wildebeest of the family (referring to the deer as a horse). The above crazy words are purely my first time seeing "General Helan", seeing the rock paintings, feeling emotional, thinking flying, and telling stories to myself. If you read it, enjoy it, then you will have it. Don't compare it to the truth.


However, regarding the distinction between ancient people and modern people, teacher Fang Qingping can testify: "The biggest difference between modern people and ancient people is that modern people have learned to fake."

Closer to home, the Helan Mountain petroglyphs reveal the cultural history of primitive clans and tribes regarding nature, totems, reproductive culture and ancestor worship. It's a pity that due to wind, sun, rain, man-made damage and limited protection technology, the petroglyphs are no longer as clear as before, and most of them seem to be just outlines of thin gray and white lines. The art of life paintings from ten thousand years ago can still be seen today. How lucky is it?

Tens of thousands of years ago, the ancients borrowed the skin of nature as a canvas. Thousands of years later, the paintings are gradually being eroded by the wind and the sun. Is it considered a masterpiece of borrowing and returning?
