Heicheng Historic Site Review

Black Water City, also known as Black City, is 25 kilometers southeast of Dalaikubu Town, the seat of the Alxa League Ejina flag government. The reason why Black Water City is called "Black Water" is because there was a black water river here before Yuanyuan. Heishui City was built in the early 11th century AD, is Xixia in the western region of the important agricultural and animal husbandry base and border fortress, is also one of the 12 military divisions of Xixia Heishan Weifu Military Division, so it has the name "Weifu Military City".

The site of Black City is located in Ejina, Inner Mongolia. It is the most complete and grandest ancient city site on the northern line of the ancient Silk Road. Built in the ninth century, it was abandoned in the Ming Dynasty. Today, the city is still buried with rich precious documents such as Xixia and Yuan Dynasty.

The site of Heishui City, the ancient city of Xixia. The sunrise here is particularly beautiful and there are not many people. The architecture is very distinctive. The site of Heicheng has a special taste under the magnificent blue sky and white clouds. The site staff is particularly simple and said thank you for coming here a thousand miles away.

Old Master: "The past is more than a thousand years, the secret of the desert is a drink 2⃣️" One Inner Mongolia Ejina Black City, strange woods 16·10·10 "Yu Street Line · The Former Day Huihuang" in the bustling spring and autumn, Harihot ; open Gobi writing Jiaoyun, Luhai powder wall painting Zhuhu. Ying lack makeup, glazed man roll, Gaotai temple Chu. Covered with green tiles and small, thousands of years of East Xiayu. Clothed with sand wood residue moss, magical Populus euphratica. Thousands of strange, broken arms, depressed iron bones! Ding Yu, April 11

The Black City site is the military fortress in the north of the Xixia Dynasty, and it is also the most complete and grandest ancient city on the Silk Road! The large green space around the castle is the current strange forest (Poplar Cemetery) occupied by the Yuan Dynasty, and abandoned after the Ming Dynasty captured the Black City. The water source was lost for more than 2,000 years. All the plants died. The Russians kidnapped local talents in Inner Mongolia to find the Black City site and unearthed a large area of treasure! Through these understandings, we will have a new understanding of the debris and tiles and tree roots on the side of this pile of earth wall. Standing in the sunset, looking at the desolate Gobi under the sunset, we can't help but feel infinitely that there is no eternal glory in the world, but living in the present moment is the best meaning!

Today, Ejina is hot to 40 degrees, and the whole scenic spot is only two of us. For Wang Wei "the desert is lonely smoke straight, the long river is sunset", "Juyan outside the city hunting sky proud, white grass even the wild fire", came here, more "weak water 3,000, only take a drink" want to see the ancient weak water, today's black water river. Too hot, so I can't stand the long-term southwest, I want to escape. But after running thousands of kilometers, it is impossible not to look closer. In the era of such a lack of material conditions, the ancients came here, fighting wars, building cities, I am just a passer-by, what can not persist? Seeing the black city, abandoned for 700 years, the imprint of human activities has gradually submerged in the yellow sand. People can shape nature, but can not change nature, no matter how brilliant, it will eventually fall to the ruins, until it disappears. And strange woods, dead poplar trees, but extremely demonic to convey the beauty of death, death is also striving for the upstream, indomitable. Tagore said: life is like the glory of summer flowers, death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves. Death can also shock people, direct to the heart! Humans, no longer protect the environment, will eventually eat the fruit of themselves! The ticket cost 120, I think it is worth it!

Black City and strange woods use pass and shuttle bus, a total of 150 yuan. Ticket check is also very strict. Black City only has the tip of the iceberg that remains in the city pool, and now there are fences and special care, not close. Far from the corner of the city pool. This is the end of the trip to the strange forest, the most complete and grandest ancient city site on the northern line of the ancient Silk Road. The city was built during the Xixia regime in the ninth century. Today, the city is also buried in rich precious documents of the Xixia and Yuan Dynasty. In recent years, due to the serious sand desertification in the surrounding area, quicksand has eroded the black city from the east, west and north, and many sites have been buried under the sand.

This is a desolate place, only the old city waste left over from the Xixia period, and the poplar trees that have died for thousands of years. This is a large city, and I can think of the ancient Xixia country. It's not bad to shoot the sunset here.
