Walking along the sound, there was indeed a temple above, which seemed to be still under repair. When we walked to the gate, there were two Tibetans at the gate who said politely to a few people: "Guru Temple is under renovation and tourists are not allowed to visit. You can go back." Zeng Yungao went up and said, "I am from the Land and Resources Bureau. , is conducting a survey for land and resources, can we go in and have a look, mainly to look at the outside."
"Outdoors?" The person made sure, and when Zeng Yungao nodded, he called the people in the temple.
Tibetans, especially the local Tibetans in the temple, have great respect for the masters in the temple. It is okay to take pictures of buildings and other things outside, but it is absolutely impossible to let others take pictures inside the Buddhist temple.
The people inside the temple will consider the impact and may agree, but these local residents won't care which unit you belong to, they can just drive you away and that's it.
After a while, the man came back and said, "You can go in." The three of them entered the large Tibetan temple that was under maintenance.
Since it no longer accepts guests, the temple seems relatively empty, but empty only refers to the square in front of the main hall that is relatively empty after entering. Not many people are walking around. The roof of the main hall is definitely not empty, and is even very crowded.
They heard someone singing a chorus before, and that group of people is now above the main hall. Before, I only thought of singing, but now it seems that others are singing and dancing at the same time, and they are not afraid of being crushed by hitting the house with something.
Several people were walking forward now, Chen Xing asked Zeng Yungao.
"Brother Zeng, what are they doing?" He also shook his head and said, "I don't know. This is the first time I've seen it. Hey, Xu Di, stop looking and go take a picture of the back."
"Okay." Xu Di went back alone. His side was relatively simple, but the road was a bit far. As shown on the map, he had to go up the slope behind the temple to the place where the monks sleep and rest, and take pictures of what used to be religious land. Why does the land seem to have turned into fields now?
Zeng Yungao's side is simpler, just take photos of an existing palace to collect evidence. Everyone didn't know what was going on before, but now they are in the right place. At a glance, they know that the hall where the evidence needs to be collected must be abandoned, and it is probably under repair now.
After Xu Di left, they stayed there for a while watching dancing and singing, and then walked happily to the place where evidence needed to be collected.
Chen Xing said: "I don't know what they sang, but it sounds pretty good."
"The melody of music has no national boundaries. If you only listen to the melody, the songs that have been passed down to this day are all very good. I have heard many local folk songs in Western Xinjiang before, and they are somewhat similar to what we hear now, but The tone is not that grand.”
"Like religious music."
"Yes." The two of them walked to a side hall to take pictures. The roof of this side hall has collapsed, but it looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a long time, so no one should be hurt.
Zeng Yungao took photos with his tablet to collect evidence and said, "I heard that there was a big hailstorm here last month. I don't know if it was the hailstorm, otherwise such a popular temple building would not collapse naturally. "A total of three photos should be taken, two close-ups and one distant view, so as to restore the style of the land to the greatest extent.
They also used the software that Chen Xing saw in the office to take pictures, but it was not as clear as on the computer. After clicking to take a picture, there will be an arrow mark on the tablet. For example, you can only take pictures of buildings more than ten meters away. , the map will show an arrow pointing to the building more than ten meters away in that direction.
Chen Xing liked this map very much and said with envy: "As expected, the best things are not for civilian use."
"Why do civilians need so many functions? Isn't the current map software pretty good?"
"It's just a little inaccurate."
"Don't go into the deep mountains and old forests. It'll be fine." Zeng Yungao said. He had already taken three photos of the building and was marking the building number. At this time, a monk wearing red robes came over and said, "You are the land and resources." Bureau?" Zeng Yun said graciously, "Hello."
"That's great. We were just about to ask about our land. Let's sit and chat in another place." Chen Xing was a little stupid. He knew that Brother Zeng just borrowed a name and it was not the real land. Resource employees, and even if they are, they are not local, how can they talk to others about such profound land issues.
However, Zeng Yungao reacted quickly and said, "You have to go to the county and ask yourself. We are from the city and are only responsible for checking the use of the land." The monk was still a little disappointed.
"My name is Aori Qilang, and the master asked me to entertain you." Zeng Yungao thought that there were still people following him to take pictures of him today, but he couldn't be photographed paddling during working hours, so he shook his head and said, "We are here We are filming two places in the temple. We are about to leave after filming. We still have many tasks to complete on the Bahe side. Thank you." Chen Xing was very interested, but he had to follow Zeng Yungao.
Aori Qilang seemed to have nothing to do, so he followed them and wanted to see them off. On the way, he introduced casually: "Our Donggu Temple is designed according to the tantric mandala. In front is the main hall that is being repaired. There are three floors in total. The bottom floor is the Tibetan temple. style, the middle floor is Chinese style, and the top floor is Nepalese style, but the overall design is based on the national art and culture of our Tibetans." Chen Xing asked: "What are they doing up there?" He was curious why there was a large group of people there. With people singing and dancing on the roof and moving back and forth so neatly, aren't they afraid that the house will collapse due to resonance?
"Hitting Aga is a traditional way for Tibetans to repair floors and roofs." Aori Qilang pointed to the building materials in the open space and said: "This is a unique clay on our plateau. It is pressed through repeated blows. It is laid on paved stones to form a solid ground, and the roof built in this way can be as smooth as marble and strong and durable, lasting for thousands of years."
"How long are you going to hit and step on like this?" Chen Xing asked.
"From the largest stone, to the small stones and then to the clay, these layers will probably take a month of repeated beating like this." Chen Xing nodded.
Apart from being a little troublesome, this traditional construction method is no less safe than reinforced concrete floors.
With several layers of building materials and hundreds of people hammering it repeatedly for a month, Chen Xing really couldn't think of any other way to knock down such a house other than natural disasters and a long period of time.
What’s even more valuable is that if the house collapses in the future, these building materials will just return to dust.
They were originally just stones and clay, without any modern materials.
