You can't tell the dawn of dusk, you can't see through the sunset and the moonrise, everything here is quiet and unstained.
"Turn the mountain, turn the water and turn the pagoda".The water mentioned here, in Tibetan culture, mostly refers to the major holy lakes, and turning water is turning the lake.
Turning the lake is not as imagined, all the time along the lake, what you see are the lake and mountains, the snow mountains are covered, in fact, this way down, the beach, stones, meadows, swamps, snow-capped mountains, temples, will meet you unexpectedly.
And there is such a kind of lake, on the one hand, it is a noble and sacred god, and on the other hand, it is called a terrifying and treacherous ghost, which has a different fate and a completely different landscape from the lake.
It is obviously a lake born of a water vein, why does it form the difference between gods and ghosts?
Sacred Lake: West Tianyao Pond
It is known as the "Mother of the World's Rivers", it is the "Western Heavenly Yao Pond" in the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions", if Kailash represents the masculine Sun Father God, thenMapanyongcuoIt is the feminine Mother Mother of the Moon.
Ma Pan Yongcuo is located on the main peak of the Gangdis MountainsBetween Mount Kailash and Mount Namunani in the Himalayas, **Autonomous Region within the county of Puran, is made up of the Gangdis MountainsIce and snow meltCome.
The water of the lake is cool and spotless, yesThe clearest freshwater lake in China, with visibility of up to 14 meters, is one of the three "sacred lakes" in Tibet.

The lake is in the shape of "Ya Pear", wide in the north and narrow in the south, and is surrounded by horse springs, lion springs, elephant springs and peacock springsThe source of the four watersThese four rivers in turn developed into the Brahmaputra River, the Ganges, the Indus River and the Sutrej River in the long winding valley.
As a result, Mapanyongcuo has become a sacred lake worshiped by many religious sects in the world, and there is a shrine around MapanyongcuoThere are 8 temples located on all sides of the lake.

Jiwu Temple is the starting point of the Zhuan Lake people, there are successively rocking prayer wheels by the lake, silently reciting the six-character mantra in their mouths to pass by.

A few Tibetans prostrate themselves at the water's edge and suck the lake water one by one; Some pilgrims will pick up colored stones or feathers from the lake and bring them back to their hometowns to treasure as the most spiritual treasures.
In the teachings of the Yongzhong Sect,Mapanyongcuo is known as the palace of the dragon godThe Tibetan worship of the dragon god has a long history, and the dragon here is not the kind of animal that we usually think has a claw and a foot, but a combination of a human snake head, a human horse head or a human lion head, in many thangkas, murals, it is oftenAppearing in the image of a mermaid, it is very beautiful.
There are so many beautiful legends of the sacred lake, and the birds that live here are also very free and casual, and they all have one thing in common - they are not afraid of peopleThe car is not alarmed, and the people are ignored.
Whether it is a flock of bar-headed geese, or a pair of wild mandarin ducks, or a black-necked crane wandering around, they are not in a hurry, leisurely strolling, even if someone takes the initiative to approach to take pictures, they can easily pose;
HereThe nests are all clearly "placed" on the ground, I've never seen such a bird's nest that is not hidden, it seems that it is convenient there, so I built a nest there.
There are two main reasons why the birds here are not defended, one is that Buddhism abstains from killing; The second is that Ma Panyongcuo has hard rules.
Ghost Lake: No wind and waves
There is a lake next to Mapanyongcuo, which is very different from the atmosphere of the holy lake, it is a saltwater lake, surrounded by no grass, and there are no birds, cattle and sheep;
Usually the water surface is quiet, but occasionally there is no wind to rise up three feet of waves, and the waves crash on the shore, which is very weird, so the Tibetan language gives it a name".Raang Tso", which means "poisonous black lake", is also calledGhost Lake
In fact, the sacred lake ghost lake was originally a lake, because the detrital material carried by the glacier was accumulated in the middle of the original large lake after the glacier melted, causing the lake bed to rise, and then global warming, evaporation aggravated the glacier shrinkage, the water supply decreased, and the area of the large lake shrank, causing the water level of the lake to drop, and they were separated by a narrow yellow hill.
Landscape screen**. According to legend, there is a cosmic gate between the bottom of the two lakes, which secretly connects the waters of the two lakes. The water quality of the sacred lake and the ghost lake are completely different: the water of the sacred lake is refreshing and sweet, while the water of the ghost lake is bitter and unpalatable
There is a dark red hill on the edge of Laang Tso, and the color is blurred. The pebble beach resembles a white and shiny silver ribbon set on the edge of the lake. There is also a small island in the lake, which is dark red.
Laon wrong ophioliteIt is a part of the Hugu Gabu Massif, located in the South Asian Belt of the western section of the Ophiolite Belt of the Brahmaputra River. The ophiolite is controlled by near-east-west thrust faults, and its south side is the Puran metamorphic massif, and the north side is the extremely stickless stratum. The ophiolite mass was intruded before the Late Tertiary.
Stepping on the ancient rocks, standing on the shore of Lake Laonco, one often has a strange feeling rising in one's chest: there is not a single person or animal in the huge lake area, and it is so empty that it seems to be standing at the edge of the universe.
In the village of Jiwu, you can see the river that connects Mapanyong Tso and Laang Tso, which is slender and winding, and quite charming at sunset. As the saying goes: good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and they can be under the Namunani Snow MountainGood and evil are born together, and peace is eternal.
The opposition between these two poles reminds one of the great symbols of the Buddha-figure embracing the Buddha-Mother and the BuddhaHarmonious symbiosis。Good and evil are two opposites, but here they are peaceful and peaceful.
The ghost lake and the holy lake survive under the same snow-capped mountain, and they can only guard each other for hundreds of millions of years of desolation.
The east turned white, the forerunners of the new white sun looked over the mountains, the thin clouds that fluttered like feathers turned red roses, and the shadows of the clouds on the lake made me feel as if I were swinging over a real rose garden. Then came the first rays of the sun on the summit of Mount Gangdis, and all the strange terrain was brought to life and color. ”
