song for the xingwei city This earthquake has the impact to six provinces. In Yingchuan plian, 40%--50% are dead, together with the more than 50000 died by fire, water, and ice, especially from yinchuan to baofeng. Xingwei city, enjoying the several hundreds years ancient culture, is with advanced economy and beautiful scenery, locating in the south of yinchaun shizuishan city miaoxiang. But in 1937-1 earthquake, this beautiful cit diappeared overnight from this world. Once before, my grandfather told us that, at before, xingwei city covers more than several hundred thousand square meter with more than 20000 population. Several days before the earthquake, there is one old man, white beard, take oen chain of date and peach. He shout the ZAOLI(early leave) ZAOLI. All takes him as a nut. But some of them awared something , and leave the city. Several days ago, most of them are still unmoved, the lodman sighed and disappeared suddenly. Just in time, the wall collapse, the city bottom are hide in the earth several inch. The city gate are just like the half moon. All the building and people in the city are all ruined. All people has no time to run out are dead. At that time, it is very cold so all the household fire to heat. When the room collapse, the room was fired it was continue for 5 days……? but also a big crack emerge on the earth with length ten zhang and width several inch or 1 chi. The underground water drown the half of the house and village. Many are pressed to death, the rest are drowned and frozen to death. After the earthquake, the prosperous xingwei city is dead. What left is the mud city wall, in width at the carriage led by 8 horses. The desert piles are boundless and no life. The big tree can be rounded by several arms are all buried in the soil. Everything is cold. From tang dynasty to song dynasty till qing dynasty, xingwei city has been live for several years. The previous wealth are all waiting for exploring. Nowadays, all the people are mowing in the field, some of them have dig out the coin and pot. In the high piles, there is only one stone tomb standing” xingxia culture heritage” but what is it for? Xingwei city has slept for 300 years underground. It can not compare with loulan ancient kingdom; with Babylon on the long time and famous. Because it is already underground. But its research value is also very high. We can trace back to the xixia dynasty, also liyuanhao ruling period. This city is so prosperous. The celebrity, talent and lady are numerous. With commerce advanced and people life rich. At that year, It is the important fort of the plain to the kingdoms at the west. Several years, xingwei city is sleeping underground. No one dig them out. Even a glance and then leave. Shall we let it keep sleeping? No one come to find it ? I think: it must be significant when xingwei city is resumed. Maybe some important history files and complicted culture relic can be found. I am looking forward that day.
Several story to xingwei city ( original) Do you know xingwu village in ancient time? Why it is disappeared finally? It is heard that: xingwu village is a small town in xixia kingdom in the name of xingwei city, which is located in huinong district miaotai county. In legend, it is buried in one earthquake, of which the legend are numerous. I ask for an old lady for I am lost. She not only direct me but also tell us two stories. One story is: The other one is :
One day I went to xingwei city. Right now grass is covering the city with only one wall and stone tomb in it. Stone tomb is craved “xingwei city heritage relic”. I thought that I can pick some valuable ancient things. But the local old man reflected that here once was farmed. I feel regret that our history relic are damaged. Our mates take some back home as a treasure. Of course, I also take several pieces. When I come, I thought that xingwie city is a ghost city with the bones all over the city, very horrible; when we arrived, it is not that interesting. Nothing but a grassland, when we back pick several tiles with excitement, just like valuable treasure. It is said that xingwei city was named by liyuanhao’s first failure. Liyuanhao win all his fighting both in the eastern and western. But he failed once owing to carelessness. He withdraw to one small city with great embarrassment. He wrote a article to recall his failure in thousands words, and also named this city in xingwei city. “Xing” means thinking; “wei” stands for his own. Because liyuanhao ‘s literary’s name is started with xing as initial one. So this small city was named as xingwei city. But all the people are dead in only one earthquake in xingwei city. How can we avoid the disaster? One country want to keep its prosperous: one is to peace which need other country’s help; the other one is to know the predict the disaster. Life is soft but valuable.
Several story to xingwei city (revised) Do you know xingwu village in ancient time? Why it is disappeared finally? It is heard that: xingwu village is a small town in xixia kingdom in the name of xingwei city, which is located in huinong district miaotai county. In legend, it is buried in one earthquake, of which the legend are numerous. I ask for an old lady for I am lost. She not only direct me but also tell us two stories. long long time before, there is one old man, white beard, take oen chain of date and peach. He shout the ZAOLI(early leave) ZAOLI. All takes him as a nut and avoid him on purpose. But this old man is not crazy but a god. Actually he want to help the people out of disaster. Near the disaster, he choose another way, he take one chain of orange on his neck and shout in the street “ it will happen soon” but he was also ignored. At that evening, when all has a meeting in the city, he still cry same. Suddenly, the earthquake happens. When it stopped, xingwei city is buried underground. When the people dig it, many of them has been dead. The other legend is : It is said that xingwei city was named by liyuanhao’s first failure. Liyuanhao win all his fighting both in the eastern and western. But he failed once owing to carelessness. He withdraw to one small city with great embarrassment. He wrote a article to recall his failure in thousands words, and also named this city in xingwei city. “Xing” means thinking; “wei” stands for his own. Because liyuanhao ‘s literary’s name is started with xing as initial one. So this small city was named as xingwei city. At that time liyuanhao is still the prince, xixia kingdom is still unfound. One earthquake ruin the happy and unpredicted small city. We can avoid the disaster by man, how can we avoid the disaster done by nature? One country want to keep its prosperous: the help from other countries is second, the first one is to develop the science. Life is soft but valuable. (by student)
The undiscovered underground culture---- xixia xingwei city interview The undiscovered underground culture---- xixia xingwei city visit lead us, seven both teachers and students walk inot the xixia 1000 years before. Visit xingwei city second time, when we collect the tiles and bones, what we see is all baren and cold. The thought of sealed underground city and files, we can’t help to know all the history and details about the xingwei city. It is the pity that the whole xixia dynasty disappeared suddenly, the government protection steps remain backwards, the natural and man damage. Though through the internet, book, culture protection department and local farmers, we can only collect the small details. Too much blank makes us heartache and think more. |
