At 14:57 in the afternoon, the G2255 Fuxing train finally arrived at Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Autonomous Region, after more than 6 hours.
Exit the train station, walk to Fuzhou North Street, and check in to Room 215 of Shangpin Hotel.

In the early morning of the next day, I came to Yinchuan Railway Station early and took 2 buses in the West Square to see the famous Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty.
**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan The Tomb of the Western Xia Dynasty is the imperial tomb and royal mausoleum of the Western Xia Dynasty, located more than 30 kilometers west of Yinchuan City. It starts from Quanqigou in the north, reaches the Yinba Highway in the south, borders the West Trunk Canal in the east, and relies on Helan Mountain in the west, covering an area of about 50 square kilometers, and is one of the largest and most complete imperial cemeteries in China. The car left the city and sped on the vast Yinchuan Plain. Helan Mountain in the distance is on top of the blue sky, north and south, and the dragon is lying on the vast land. The sky is high and blue, the ground is wide and green, the white clouds are entangled, the autumn breeze is refreshing, and the majestic Helan Mountain is more beautiful, mighty and magnificent.

There are not many tourists on the bus, and when we enter the scenic spot, only our couple and a young man in his forties come down, and other tourists still stay on the bus to see the rock paintings of Helan Mountain. The minibus left us mercilessly and disappeared without a trace. I turned my head to look, and the vast earth-colored buildings in the scenic area were erected in front of us in an unobstructed manner.

The earthy yellow building is a museum, and you need to see an exhibition in an advanced museum to enter the scenic area. I bought a ticket and walked into the museum, which covers an area of 5,300 square meters, and there are two exhibitions in the museum, namely "Xixia History and Culture Exhibition" and "Xixia Cultural Research Achievements Exhibition", with a total of 9 exhibition halls and more than 700 pieces of Xixia historical relics.

The exhibition hall is quiet, and the ** and cultural relics are all over each exhibition hall. Wandering in the exhibition hall, gazing at the cultural relics and **, the thick history and splendid culture will strongly reflect the glory of that distant era, and through the years and time and space, showing the people of today.

After looking at the 9 exhibition halls, I walked out of the museum and came to the bottom of the building. At the end of the square is a low house with a glass door, and on the wall of the roof of the house is carved with five large black characters of "Entrance to the Ruins Area".

Enter the "entrance of the ruins area", board the minibus in the scenic area, and the minibus will drive into the vast Gobi after it is full.
The vast Gobi is barren and desolate, flat and wide. A small road winds and turns, stacked on the poetic Gobi. The horn in the minibus changes with the change of scenery outside the bus, chattering endlessly to introduce the general situation of the Xixia royal tombs: there are nine imperial tombs and 271 burial tombs ...... the Xixia royal tombs

The first minibus to enter is the No. 3 Mausoleum area. There are 118 burial tombs in the No. 3 Mausoleum area, which is the area with the most and the most concentrated distribution of burial tombs. Outside the car window, the vast Gobi is covered with patches of grass, like a green carpet; Not far away, high or low.
First, the loess package of uneven size is densely packed, innumerable, its shape is like a steamed bun, such as a cone, like a cylinder, a hundred postures, the shape is different. These inconspicuous loess bags are all funerary tombs of the Western Xia period. Although the burial tomb has gone through the vicissitudes of time and eroded by wind and rain, it is still brave and stubborn, stubborn and unyielding and proudly standing at the foot of Helan Mountain.
Fifteen minutes later, the minibus stopped at a house, and the driver informed us that the Taeyeung in the mausoleum area had arrived, and everyone could get off the bus to visit.
After getting out of the car, walking through a forest and a house, I stepped on the desolate Gobi again, and a tall loess bag stood conspicuously not far away. The loess bag is Tailing, commonly known as "Haowang Tomb".

Tailing sits in the north and faces south, covers an area of about 150,000 square meters, is the largest mausoleum in the whole mausoleum area, although after thousands of years, its building has been seriously damaged, but the cemetery's platform, mausoleum, god wall, door que, corner platform are basically good, and the layout is still clear and recognizable.
Walk on the loess gravel and come to the front of the East Que Terrace. The platform is not very high, square, made of loess pile, the upper part is adducted, and there is a small pedestal at the top. There are iron railings around the platform, and people are forbidden to approach. Not far away, the West Que Terrace and the East Que Terrace are similar in size and shape, arranged symmetrically on both sides of the central axis, looking at each other from afar, dutifully defending and embellishing the dignity and magnificence of the imperial mausoleum.

Bypass the Que Platform and approach the stele pavilion in front of the Moon City. There are two stele pavilions, which are also distributed on both sides of the central axis, nearly 100 meters apart. The pedestal of the stele pavilion is rounded square, the four walls are the first step type, the steps are all wrapped with rope bricks, lime hook joints, and some green bricks still exist. It is said that the base side of the platform is 215 meters, height 235 meters.

Look at the stele pavilion and step onto Shinto. The Shinto gravel pavement, wide and wide, goes straight into the Moon City. The moon city is rectangular, 120 meters long from east to west, 52 meters wide from north to south, and the wall base is about 2 meters wide and 07 meters, covering an area of about 10 acres, with its eternal loyalty, tightly guarded outside the mausoleum.
Approaching the Moon City, looking around left and right, the city wall of the Moon City in front of him is short, Huo Huo's teeth, although the lines are clear, horizontal and vertical, but he is depressed and decadent and lying on the Gobi, if he does not take a closer look, he thinks it is the ridge in the Qianmo.

The north side of the moon city is close to the south wall of the city of the city, and in the center of the south wall is the south gate of the city of the city. The south gate has long lost its spacious houses and strict gates, leaving only a high mausoleum. The front end of the mausoleum is paved with two rows of steps, and the steps are made of blue bricks, with more than ten layers. Step up the stairs and stand on the mausoleum. The mausoleum is flat, the foundation is paved with wooden planks, and the "pillar base" in many places is inlaid with glass frames, and there is a round wooden stake in the glass frame, which was originally the pillar of the house, and was left as a relic for viewing.

The two ends of the mausoleum are connected with the city wall of the mausoleum, the city wall extends from east to west, after more than 200 meters, turn to the north, hook out the southeast and southwest two corner platforms, and then go straight to the north in parallel, extend 460 meters again, until the mausoleum tower turns again, and then hooks out the northwest and northeast two corner platforms, and then the east and west are combined, perfectly create a mausoleum. After a thousand years of the city wall of the mausoleum, the power and function of the city wall have long been lost, the wall made of loess rammed is high and low, the thickness is different, and many places actually break the wall and become a path. The traces of wind and rain erosion have caused the majestic city wall to be damaged and damaged, stained and devastated on the face, however, it is this ancient city wall full of holes, but it stands tenaciously with an unyielding will, although it has lost the function of the arch guard, it is also necessary to show the traces of history with an indestructible body.

Cross the south gate and enter the mausoleum. Behind the south gate, there is a north-south direction, resembling a fish ridge, the tomb road filled with sand and gravel seals the soil, the north end of the sealed soil is closely connected with the dedication hall, and there is a tomb road about 50 meters long and paved with sand and gravel on the north side of the dedication hall. The tomb road is not wide, straight and straight, straight to the mausoleum tower. Strangely, the northern section of the tomb was abruptly cut off by a large pit.

I approached the edge of the pit and leaned down to look down. The mouth edge of the big pit is very wide, the sky is wide open, the bottom of the pit is very deep, the cone falls, the grass in the pit is green, dense and luxuriant. On the edge of the big pit is a small iron plate in the color of sauce, and the two white characters of "thief pit" are written on the small iron plate. I think that the tomb robbers of the past put a lot of effort into stealing the treasures in the tomb, but I don't know if they succeeded or not. It is said that the diameter of the robbery pit in front of you is 20 meters, and the depth is 5 meters.
Behind the pit is the mausoleum. The mausoleum tower is uplifted from the ground and stands tall; Its shape is oval, the lower end is thick and round, gradually shrinking upward, and the top is as thin as a cone, piercing the blue sky. The mausoleum tower goes up and down, the whole body is yellow, not mixed or rubbed, if the sun is golden and brilliant, shining. The mausoleum may be basking in the wind and rain, there are a lot of watermark grooves on the surface of the body, the strips and sections, the thickness and thickness are thin, staggered and superimposed, outlining a watermark painting, wrapped in the mausoleum tower that stands tall and tall. The mausoleum tower is bare, not an inch of grass grows, only a bird does not fall, and its unspeakable strange shape is quite amazing.

I stood in front of the tall and big mausoleum in small and small places, looked at the mausoleum for a long time, looked at it all, and got tired of seeing it before I reverie and meditate. After more than 190 years, the Tangut Dynasty was once a powerful and glorious dynasty, but it was also a mysterious dynasty. The emperor in the mausoleum tower once led his subjects to make great efforts, survived a hundred battles, expanded the country and built the country, and cast a brilliant one, but the dust was drowned in the long river of history, so that the people of today tirelessly archaeological research, to investigate the historical facts of the year and the errata, cultural fallacies. "Life should be a hero, and death should be a ghost. "The emperor in the mausoleum tower was illustrious during his lifetime, proud of his life, and he was also romantic for thousands of years after his death, so that many tourists came to pay homage to him.

The golden sun hangs high in the sky, the golden sunlight splashes the earth, the autumn breeze is slight, and the fragrance is drunk. The mausoleum city, the moon city, the dedication hall, the mausoleum tower, the stele pavilion, and the quetai are all bathed in bright sunshine, enjoying the hearty autumn breeze, standing at the foot of Helan Mountain with the same posture for thousands of years, facing the tourists who come from all directions, telling the story of the ups and downs of the year.
I stand at your feet and listen quietly.
