After staying in Yinchuan for a long time, Wei Ji found that people actually did not know much about Ningxia, or lacked depth and breadth. For example, when it comes to tourism in Ningxia, in addition to one city and two sands (Western Film and Television City, Shahu Lake, Shapotou), there are also some man-made landscapes, which seem to be nothing; When it comes to history, it is the history of Western Xia, and other histories are rarely involved or directly ignored.

What is there to do in Ningxia? This is also a question that many hometown classmates and friends often ask Wei Ji. These are the vast majority of what they know, and in their imagination, deserts, Gobi, and desolation should be the characteristics of Ningxia.

But in fact, Ningxia's cultural history is quite unique and unique in many ways, which not only constitutes Ningxia's historical and cultural resources, but also constitutes Ningxia's tourism and cultural resources. For example, the "Three Legends" and the "Four History".

Ningxia has "three legends": the legend of Dayinchuan, the legend of the Yellow River in Ningxia, and the legend of Daguyuan.

Ningxia has "four major histories": the history of the border (represented by the Great Wall), the history of water conservancy (Ningxia's water conservancy and irrigation project is comparable to the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, and has its own name "Baiqu Liurun"), the history of immigration, and the history of Western Xia.

1. The Legend of Great Yinchuan, "Great Yinchuan" refers to a large area in northern Ningbei, including Wuzhong, Zhongwei, Shizuishan, Yinchuan, and other prefecture-level cities. Before the Tang Dynasty, the history of Dayinchuan was the most "Lingwu", and there was a Lingwu City, which was called half of the history of Ningxia; After the Tang Dynasty, it was divided into three stages, namely the history of Western Xia (Xingqing Mansion), the "Ningxia Town (Wei)" in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Yinchuan City in the new era.

This history is full of ups and downs.

2. The legend of the Yellow River in Ningxia, as the area through which the Yellow River basin flows, Ningxia has been blessed by the Yellow River for thousands of years, prospered because of the Yellow River, and prospered because of the Yellow River.

3. The legend of Daguyuan, which is compared with the legend of Da Yinchuan, it can be said that the ancient Ningxia region was divided into two parts, one is represented by Yinchuan and the other is represented by Guyuan. Guyuan's geographical location determines that its history is unique.

To put it simply, the humanistic history of Daguyuan retains the historical and humanistic characteristics of Ningxia more purely, such as folk customs, and the current Guyuan is doing better. The Spring Festival is coming, and Guyuan planned the "Langguyuan New Year" online celebrity activity, involving Longde, Pengyang, Jingyuan, Xiji and other places, so that people can intuitively feel the rich traditional cultural atmosphere.

Guyuan's cultural tourism has been relatively successful and brilliant in the past two years!

4. The history of the frontier, Ningxia is located at the intersection of nomadic civilization and agricultural civilization, which is destined to withstand the intersection and collision of different cultures and civilizations for thousands of years, resulting in the most significant history, that is, the history of the Great Wall. In Ningxia, it encompasses all the forms of all dynasties from the construction of the Great Wall to the protection of today.

From the time of King Zhaoxiang of Qin to the Great Wall of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Ningxia has it! Therefore, it is known as the "Great Wall Museum", and it deserves its name.

5. The history of water conservancy, the water conservancy project in Ningxia and the Dujiangyan water conservancy project in Sichuan began to be built not far apart, and they are still playing a role today. Dujiangyan is to use the terrain to build a dam to divert water, while Ningxia water conservancy is a water diversion without a dam, and the Xixia period also creatively used the way of enclosing grass and cutting sand to divert water, which greatly improved the role of irrigation.

6. The history of immigration, the history of Ningxia's immigration can be said to be unique, from the Qin Dynasty Mengtian conquered the Hetao, by the way Ningxia was included in the territory of the Great Qin Empire, began to immigrate, this tradition has continued to this century of poverty alleviation immigrants, every period of immigration history, is an integral part of Ningxia's history.

7. The history of the Western Xia, which is now being stirred up and talked about over and over again, is actually a very small part of the history of Ningxia. Its regret lies in the fact that there is still no official history book of the Western Xia, which is the only exception in the history of the Israeli civilization. If you add the history of Western Xia, then the twenty-four histories will become twenty-five histories.

These three legends and four histories can be studied and excavated in depth, and any one of them is a well-known tourism and cultural resource, but unfortunately, Ningxia has not systematically excavated and utilized these precious heritages, which is a typical lying on the treasure to eat.

It is true that there are also these legends or histories presented in the academic world, but they are not developed in connection with reality, so what will happen in the future? See.

This is Yinchuan! Discover the beauty of Yinchuan and feel the beauty of Yinchuan!

I am Ah Wei, using warm words to turn up dusty memories and record the humanistic history of Yinchuan! Thank you for reading and following!
