Once upon a time, the Western Regions has a Xiaoguo to call Lou Lan. Its around existed not to pass hundred years, let countless writers, archaeologist, historian do it however ecstatically, it also became the illusion of complete mankind eternity subsequently. What kind of is it after all? What to happen after all on the history? Does the be puzzled of mystery evil spirit of building orchid belle where? Collect cloth berth when can old haunt of regain Lou Lan? Place of what kind of history is Lou Lan having after all in the Western Regions?
All these problems, with the Lou Lan that always is buried under yellow sanded end, big desert together, revive in the wording and purpose of what one writes of writer Gao Honglei one by one.
This abstract is chosen from " Lou Lan ah, lou Lan " (Gao Honglei is written, people literature press is published) .
Remarkably original and forceful
Taking unexpected results when guide -- two board are caught up with south when the team of travel, the gentle · conspicuous that awaits hard was stupefied surely: Board of adornment of the turbination grain before, leaf grain has typical Greek and artistic color!
1900 (smooth mood 26 years) , one did not remember fatigue time. But to big Qing Dynasty, it is a years that does not have month of clear and bright again without colourful this world already however. From the eastpart part in the Eight Power Allied Force coastal Tianjin is killed into Beijing, while emperor of smooth mood of hold sb under duress of kind happiness empress dowager escapes on the west in a flurry, a camel group that organizes by western explorer also from western the assorted of noise made in coughing or vomiting of borderland sets out, swaggeringly trend " desolate like going up as the moon " Luo Bu desert.
The gentle · conspicuous that rides on head camel is decided, the head wears terai, there is pipe on the mouth, to the middle of sky carefree ground is telling tobacco group. He year square 35 years old, in been have 3 times inferior inspect experience. His visit got Swedish king Oscar 2 worlds and chemist Alfred Bernard of · Nobel aid financially, funds of it may be said dye-in-the-wood, preparation sufficient, plan is comprehensive. And the task of his high-sounding, remain in measuring fokelore on the spot " in inferior Mediterranean " -- the exact position of Luo Bu berth, for teacher Li Xi the controversy of Huo Fen and Muscovite about buy of collect cloth berth offers demonstration.
The admonish study theory that before resembling this, he does not hear a teacher is same, this, he did not head for collect cloth berth directly according to the teacher's entrust, because be in his memory, having more important than making fight of water winning a mouth thing. Before this, he already discovered in Xinjiang and Tian two bury relics dene -- city and noise made in coughing or vomiting pull Dandanwulikegu mound Gu Cheng, harvested the cultural relic of a batch of invaluable. Seek the big desert ancient town in folklore and money, should be him the travel of this Xinjiang hard the purpose of explain in words.
Be him is special stand to go alone, make he walked into a secret -- a your world is dumbfounded, bring the secret of clinking honor to him.
To ensure the distance is great, on the member that gentle · conspicuous grows up in camel group group surely elaborative. In camel team, have bear hardships and Aoerde overcomes guide of astute Luo Bu's person, have abound field lives the Luo Bu's hunter of experience Abudoureyimu, frank and reliable the Uygur nationality carries a husband on the back Papiba is depended on, still alert and valiant elder brother Sa overcomes guard to cut Er Nuo husband.
In March the last ten-day of a month, the Adimixibulake that camel team thes foot of a hill or mountain from Kulukedageshanna sets out, by north Xiang Na enters the collect cloth desert with densely covered mound.
28 days, an intolerable day in collect cloth desert. Afternoon 3 when, they pass mesa of a clay, saw relics of two wood house (confirm this is temple of a Buddha later) , discovered a lot of clay are fragment of sacred earthen bowl, crockery, ancient Chinese schilling and needle of a kind of copper, still have a few woodcarving. It is the king of a Dai Wangguan together among them, another is the man that wearing wreath, still having is together carefully and nearly lotus. To this, gentle · conspicuous was not cared about surely, just feel this is one place east go to Dunhuang ancient on the road dak. Before went 20 kilometers, team member of gentle · He Dinghe people discovered in desert one section chief is worn the sinkage of willow of a few Cheng. The place that the plant grows is sure have water, gentle · conspicuous decides to stop to dig water and be in surely this cantonment, but the earth of a bank with only expedition graceful (a kind of iron makes farm tool) the gram that be gotten by guide abstruse Er of 37 years old is forgotten in the remains that a moment ago passed. Did not wait for gentle · conspicuous to grouse surely, guide is after dinner, ride an inferior horse hasty north is returned, go back actively search shovel.
Northeast monsoon, total meeting is in annual in March wasteland of Luo Bu of the bottom, presence at the beginning of April. Second half night, a windstorm as scheduled and to, guide confused a road in wind. It is it seems that a kind providential, he to take shelter from the wind, entered another relics, there is a tower in this relics, still have the building relics with a remains higher standards that passes than by day, and scattering everywhere board, ancient money and carving. Mysterious is, he not only found shovel, still brought back two elegant board designedly.
Guide goes back that paragraph of time that seeks shovel, raise one's head and look is anxiouslying expect gentle · He Dingyi, form with the ants on a hot pan. He does not know, if Pallas aids the ship that pushing heroes of A Er dagger in the dark, lucky goddess is going to him sadly. The following day crepuscular, taking unexpected results when guide -- two board are caught up with south when the team of travel, the gentle · conspicuous that awaits hard was stupefied surely: Board of adornment of the turbination grain before, leaf grain has typical Greek and artistic color! The intuition of explorer tells him, these elegant woodcarving, the buddhism that belongs to a chiliad is civilized, it is the credential that a certain mystery ancient country that will do not have footprint invites explorer to call in. What guide discovers is ancient city of a Sha Mai certainly, oneself become the first to open the person of the mystery with Taklimakan civilized desert likely. But the drinking water that maintains two days quite only, make he dominated excited sentiment, the intense be concerned about to this relics, took a winter the 2nd year.
Discover " 3 rooms "
That building -- the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty grows location of reason of history government office to be called " 3 rooms " , the important cultural relic that Gu Cheng comes up out of land mostly out " 3 rooms " below the corner one place has 2000 historical rubbish dump.
Smooth mood 27 years (1901) the Xinjiang at the beginning of March, hill cold water is thin, few of day lonely ground. Swede came again as expected. But, search everywhere the process of the relics of woodcarving is not successful, he generated the idea that abandon a few times: The camel is run in excess load, the person also arrived susceptive limit.
On March 3, the number is orderly good write down, mean again lucky, resembling is elaborate choose " lucky day " . This day, camel team accident set foot on dimly but the ancient course of differentiate. Abrupt, stopped in the head camel of regurgitation all the time, a huge hillock held off outlet. Seasoned gentle · conspicuous admits surely, that is not chiliad blast carve and become abrupt hillock, however of tope of an India type vestigial.
His quickstep is on hillock, scan widely looks, one by desert bury long already Gu Cheng appears in eye shot: A man-made river is reflexing the Yu Hui of the setting sun, into piece ancient building distributings between tope and canal. The government-owned office under fine sand, cloister, monk is abandoned, equestrian canopy, downtown streets, Bing looks at appliance of tower, life, paper Ben Hanwen writ, Hanwenmu brief, Lu Wenwen. Gu Chengru is the same as medium general sleep deeply wears blackart, peculiar calm make his heart wave is moved, amazed is ineffable. It seems that, the dweller in the city just leaves, they following sb's heels and came. The tremendous wood of a carriage annulus just repair in good condition await reshipment, a room abandons Chai Fei half attack by surprise appears host knows to far guest will be faced... that momently, he ases if heard dry up long already man-made river is newest pulsatile, the oasis ancient country before also hearing chiliad it seems that flutter and national noise.
Besides tope, gu Cheng keeps deep impressional structure to the person is 3 buildings that break up by 4 thick wall. Later, what tope becomes building orchid ancient city is indicative. That building -- the Western Regions of the Eastern Han Dynasty grows location of reason of history government office to be called " 3 rooms " , the important cultural relic that Gu Cheng comes up out of land mostly out " 3 rooms " below the corner one place has 2000 historical rubbish dump.
Destiny goddess since into thin air windy, also be the existence of vivid and dramatic. The beautiful image that although everybody is done not have,has seen her and fragrant look, but the enough news that people seems to be able to experience her constantly again, pulse and breath. She is average person what be close to hard is abstruse, also be to have only overmatch and wisdom person the miracle of ability come across.
Have feeling the favor at destiny goddess, he is to face first settleclear bright blue sky did devotional prayer, be in next " Asian hinterland journey writes down " in in spirits ground writes: "We dig each building of that city, leave the house that an earth builds only finally. We found 36 pieces of paper that have Chinese character in that house, have small board of the character. Besides, we still discover a few broken garments, fishbone, imprint the felt that has figure. I believe these felt are the oldest on the world. Then we inspect tower of a mud, but it is sincere however. We find brush of two canals China by its only, two made of baked clay canister and countless penny... this is in those days prosperous temporarily Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng and I abandon the discovery of extremely lucky earning in location to be able to write a whole book fully in that. Gu Cheng and I abandon the discovery of extremely lucky earning in location to be able to write a whole book fully in that..
Through inspect a data, he maintains this Gu Cheng is the fall at the beginning of 4 centuries. In the diary, the wing that he imagines begins circle in the air dance: "When the war cloud in the city is densely covered, government officials did not neglect the duty of the pubic, they still with one one's heart is responsible, their report is written in war drum and balefire. The moral of these Chinese and brave spirit make a person touch. From this knowable how can this extraordinary people dominate half wall Asia -- the creature that this is not airy force, also not be a poem, this is naked true. Those letters were being buried after 1650, give us a mail message again now. He Xile of their disaster, hardship sees light eventually. He Xile of their disaster, hardship sees light eventually..
Bury at a large number of writ in relics to sinking, the value that in knowing them to study in historical geography of course as him of explorer, cannot estimate, announce to hiring the laborer that come temporarily so, every finds writ material, it is certainly besides salary increase award additionally, cash immediately. This one measure, make already the laborers that impoverished in the extreme is without cultural relic to protect consciousness again to search cultural relic, entered a kind of crackers state almost. The Si Tan later because, also adopted similar measure, got the surprise effect of get effect instantly likewise of course. This also is the Western Regions a resurrect gets the Chinese that a large number of ancient city relics are seen money eye leaves by the foreign support of the people of have ulterior motives ulterly changed one big reason.
Be in inexpressible excited in, gentle · conspicuous will send the west of cultural relic carry back of disinter surely. Arrive at a Stockholm together along with him, besides paper of 157 Chinese article brief, outside writ, still have money of 56 5 an ancient unit of weight, a lot of Lu writ, a large number of metal arrowhead, Tie Fu, bronze mirror, armour piece, bead act the role of, thin silk of Hai Bei, musical instrument, silk, bright and beautiful, woodcarving act the role ofing, aba.
Master geographical research technique without adroitness considering oneself, so he complies with the proposal of teacher plum Xi Huofen, gave full data and survey data live in Germany western city Sinology home Carl Ximulai of Weisibadeng, announce to the world by Ximulai: "That city is called Lou Lan, be located in the east longitude 50 ′ of 89 ° 53 ″ , north latitude 31 ′ of 40 ° 34 ″ , cover an area of 108 thousand square metre, in extremely tertiary temporarily fill. In extremely tertiary temporarily fill..
After Ximulai dies, what material pass on arrived to live in Lai of city of German the eastpart part to compare stannum is medium inferior Kangladi of literal research home on the hand. He these file Germanize, still write into " gentle · conspicuous decides the Chinese writ in Lou Lan earning and other discovery " one book. He introduces in the book, there is ancient books in the scrip " annals of the Three Kingdoms " relic, the Chinese invents papermaking 105 years in BC, that character is BC comes 150 years 220 years be written, because this is the oldest paper that heretofore discovers and word of paper above paragraphs, earlier than word of European paper above paragraphs 700 years; The letter that there is hair of place of bureau of martial mechanism, grain, dak in writ, report, annunciate and receipt, copybook of simple be used to and children practice multiplication table " 2 by 8 16, 9 multiply 9 81 " clumsy book, still have sign the personal letter that exceeds benefit, correspondence between the lines is diffusing what pair of home town family members officers and men by the side of defend is deep think fondly of; There is coin of advance of the Kingdom of Wei in thing, have hunt arrow, battle arrow, rocket, have the money that conch makes, have the gem that quarter necklace, eardrop, Heermosi resembles, have the clothes silken, sheet, felt, twine, shoe, still have the bronze ware that comes from Syria, ancient Rome, carpentry, iron chain, glass. Kangladi says or state with certainty: "The mixture culture that has modernistic Chinese the Western Regions and west is in Lou Lan very develop, because that city is the key of border land, it is an Asia highway of intermediate ancient time -- come to China and west eastward especially the portal of the highway of silk of carry of the come-and-go between Persia, Syria and Rome. " he returns agitato to say: "Building orchid writ is a kind epic, the world situation that is the great, violent, dark background picture that uses world history is drawn. The world situation that is the great, violent, dark background picture that uses world history is drawn..
Regrettablly, immerse oneself in research in him when Lou Lan, azrael opens Kangladi's door.
Then, narrate the important task of the Lou Lan that gentle · He Dingfa shows in the round, fall in Aerbaite Hermann of home of Sinology of the 3rd Germany to go up personally. Hermann not only accepted the job happily, and created a name meticulously to be " Lou Lan " booklet, to Lou Lan Gu Cheng of antecedents, Lou Lan and the cultural relic that discover in Lou Lan did the changes of the history of discovery history, Lou Lan and position, Lou Lan and Luo Bu berth, Lou Lan incisive, become to emersion of world declare Lou Lan " white paper " .
The filar region town of military importance before 1600 -- Lou Lan reproduces the world!
"Vacillate lake "
"I have to conclude boldly, be located in the noise made in coughing or vomiting of south of collect cloth wasteland to pull a library to arrange is a new terminal lake, and old, true Luo Bu berth is located in Luo Bu wasteland. And old, true Luo Bu berth is located in Luo Bu wasteland..
See the gentle · conspicuous that is fully loaded with cultural relic to return is decided, xihuofen asks teacher plum: "Do I explain your errand? "Do I explain your errand??
"Won't forget of course. " the student piles answer laugh the ground all over the face, "Nevertheless, teacher and Russian man do not have a fault it seems that. Teacher and Russian man do not have a fault it seems that..
"Why to see? " that momently, all along self-confident teacher stays, the furrow like his that cobweb shakes not self-consciously rise, resembled encountering a gale of arise suddenly.
Student leisurely ground says: "Discovering Lou Lan is my unexpected results, my main task still is the requirement according to you, the exact position of berth of reconnaissance collect cloth. Enter Dalimu this when me when the river makes an on-the-spot investigation downstream, in peacock river ancient riverbed had accident discovery. This ancient river course is 90 meters wide, deep 6 meters, the Mu He in tower of so tremendous riverbed enough proof is on the history river of peacock of Ceng Xiangdong infuse. We undertake leveling in the Luo Bu wasteland south Gu Loulan city when, relief is low-lying over there discovery, conclude thereby Li Muhe giving a tower is to pass this flat, of berth of final infuse ancient Luo Bu. Later, do not know what reason, the Mu He in the tower is flowed to southeast downstream instead, infuse the noise made in coughing or vomiting that Russian man place says pulls a library to arrange. Infuse the noise made in coughing or vomiting that Russian man place says pulls a library to arrange..
Slightly halt, the student says then: "I have to conclude boldly, be located in the noise made in coughing or vomiting of south of collect cloth wasteland to pull a library to arrange is a new terminal lake, and old, true Luo Bu berth is located in Luo Bu wasteland; Collect cloth berth pulls a library to arrange in the river lake of building Lan Chengna and noise made in coughing or vomiting between vacillate of north and south, it is ' vacillate lake ' , vacillate is periodic about 1500. Vacillate is periodic about 1500..
Hear here, the teacher shakes shake one's head, grunting in the mouth: "How likely? "How likely??
The student says again, I am forecasted, noise made in coughing or vomiting pulls a library to arrange can dry up very quickly, the Mu He in the tower is sure the old lake basin of return north -- berth of ancient Luo Bu.
The teacher also cans say nothing again, although there is 10 thousand unwilling in his heart, but oneself after all year nearly 70, before doing not have ability really, toward Luo Bu berth undertakes makinged an on-the-spot investigation on the spot. And after gentle · conspicuous returns surely, oneself the practice of thorough explore examine rises the theory that is rigorous sureness, the monumental work that formed to withstand the history to examine -- " the subfamily in year learns 1899-1902 research a report " . He still takes the chance to beat up dog in the water, undertook lashing follow one's inclinationsly to Keciluofu.
Be like 1000 shed classify the sea, be like group of birds to fly into den, the saliva battle that a smoke of gunpowder diffuses such abruptly overblown, russian and royal geography was removed after institutional all fronts. In January 1902, gentle · Heding heads for Russian and royal geographical society on invitation, with respect to Luo Bu berth is newest inspected achievement to publish a speech. After the meeting, shan Siji of day of · of husband of Nuo of Xie Miao of vice-chairman of Russian and royal geographical society set a banquet to feast him, many Russia is geographical domestic company, banquet atmosphere is relaxed and enthusiastic, also do not have the conclusion that the person oppugns him again. Of the same age in December, he goes to England on invitation again royal geography learned to make a presentation, speech content still is the new progress that collect cloth berth inspects. He sees clearly, that once had oppugned his British scholar, listen with respectful attention falls in the stage.
Little imagine, his prophecy became reality after several years unexpectedly. 1921, the Mu He in the tower plows prefectural end to buy li of village in Wei abrupt change its course, make the river that flows into noise made in coughing or vomiting to pull a library to arrange to southeast so, change its course east go, break through the embankment that iron gate fort takes, collect peacock river, final infuse Luo Bu flat, formed contemporary collect cloth berth.
After 7 years, the gentle · conspicuous that investigation group of science of northwest of the luck in leading inspects in China got this one information surely, be mad with joy, maintain oneself " vacillate lake " theory already was confirmed, expedite Swedish square team member instantly Hemoer and in the Luo Bu berth that the Mu He in tower of Chen Zongqi survey of square team member forms after change its course. The actual measurement map that finished 1931 according to them shows, the plane of collect cloth berth at that time submits calabash form, the bank is located in the east longitude on the west 20 kilometers are in to the south of 90 ° , the bank is located in 90 ° east near 45 ′ , laky gross area amounts to 1900 square kilometer.
What must point out is, gentle · Heding the inference for him proof is correct, on the collect cloth berth that puts full attention after change its course of river of the wood in the tower, ignored the reason of change its course of river of the wood in the tower thereby. Original, of sanded elegant county female cling to according to (language meaning is Weiwuer " rich man " ) A on the west rarely · A Ji, to give the 12000 bellwether build of oneself careless field, li of Mu He in the tower near the village is bought to bar in end river dam, the result causes river water to change to flow eastwards, irruptive sere peacock river ancient riverbed. Apparent, this fluvial change its course is factitious element.
Although gentle · conspicuous is decided " vacillate lake " theory does not have those who get all experts to approbate, no matter,anti thinks the Mu Heru in the tower why transitional, terminal lake is in collect cloth flat, collect cloth berth never transitional; But after all, "Vacillate lake " be an unprecedented conclude, because the Mu He in the tower is downstream flow direction is flabby, north and south swings and create the appearance of downstream and laky vacillate, it is the fact that does not dispute. More unassailable is, the salt of Chinese generation lustre, yuan acting Luo Bu berth and the Luo Bu berth that old clear map tags are absent same position. The salt of Chinese generation lustre be equivalent to today's Luo Bu berth, yuan the Pu Changhai that acting collect cloth berth is equivalent to Tang Dynasty, if the A of Qiang county north pulls dry lake,the collect cloth berth on old clear map should be.
Flat Jing thunder
Same year, he is by choose Sweden is the last the noble that do not have crown. He or Sweden the member of two scientific institutes, because this his science in nobel prize is mixed,literature is chosen twice in have right to speak.
If thunder of two flat Jing is by the side of ear,scamper rings, the Orientalist that old paper caboodle immerses oneself in before making this people astonish unceasingly. Be thought " do not have news " " the distance on the world is marine and farthermost " Xinjiang, drew the look of countless explorer and archaeologist from now on.
Smooth mood 28 years (1902) , oriental congress learning the home is held in hamburger, learn a composition by each country east " the Western Regions and far east history, archaeology, language and ethical international inspect committee " hold water formally. Each member country also established national the Western Regions to inspect committee in succession. The Western Regions warms up quickly for world archaeology and expeditionary heat, become topic of a cosmopolitan archaeology, and unreal melt into a lot of explorer forever changeless horizon.
Same year, gentle · conspicuous decides the Sweden that be by choose the last noble that do not have crown. He or Sweden the member of two scientific institutes, because this his science in nobel prize is mixed,literature is chosen twice in have right to speak.
From now on, gentle · conspicuous is decided -- this is in Sweden almost as eponymous as Nobel person, the Asian hinterland that is length and breadth of land is attracted deeply, the target of life all pour into is on the expeditionary career to China, so that all one's life be too busy wive. He ever alleged haughtily: "I already married with China! "I already married with China!!
This is one makes what the person shakes and get drunk enunciative, but each hear this enunciative Chinese to feel the face is red instead. Because be in early smooth mood 15 years (1889) , xinjiang saves the 2nd make one's rounds to stroke Wei Guangdao, for aggrandizement Xinjiang and river the connection on the west, he Huanting of Hao Yonggang of clique assistant general, ginseng general, manage Liu Qing is mixed, the line that enters ground of the tub in the tower via collect cloth berth to Dunhuang undertook explore examine, scale " the graph of Dunhuang county northwest to the condition austral Luo Bu nub " . This issues the map of scale in extremely original requirement, indicated not only jade door shuts, this world closes the line that leads to Luo Bu berth, and in collect cloth berth mark of ground of Xi Anqing Hunan understands location of city of an ancient time. Regrettablly, the person such as Hao Yonggang is not archaeologist, do not know also won't get to the bottom of this Gu Cheng is which city on the history, have what kind of archaeology and academic value, also not was this Gu Cheng naturally to name. More regretful is, this precious map, all the time sleep deeply is in clear Gong Gaoqiang. Big clear regnant group is contemporary of knowledge of geographical, archaeology exceeding and indigent, make the protective consciousness that they lack place of historic interest of pair of domestic cultural relic very. The information that the confused place of the current political situation of clear minor details causes is out-of-the-way, make again Chinese academia is by complete segregation besides this learning competition. such, lou Lan -- in big desert " of dream " , missed the opportunity that meets unexpectedly with Chinese academia, china also counterpoises with name of building orchid coronal subsequently just miss the opportunity.
Then, the discovery of building orchid ancient city counterpoises, can belong to a foreigner only -- gentle · conspicuous is decided, this also becomes Chinese archaeology popular feeling in forever hard the discreditable memory of efface.
