Feels in the trip of the Western Xia Tombs
Cheng xiangjun 2005-12-12

Today we went to the Western Xia Tombs with members of team together, although in a short day, we feel a lot.
First: Western Xia Dynasty culture, great and deep.
In a day's travel, we are deeply impressed with Western Xia Dynasty culture. In the short 190 years, Western Xia Dynasty created a wonderful culture. In the whole visit of process, we completely understood the history of the whole Western Xia Dynasty, and spent most time in Western Xia Dynasty culture.Western Xia Dynasty's words, cultural relics, or painting works etc., are all as valuable as treasure. Although before we had seen a lot on the internet, we were astonished by its beauty. Particularly the words of Western Xia Dynasty .This is the symbol that the Western Xia Dynasty grew up to a real dynasty from a tribe. In all exhibitions hall, Li Enzu chose to record the explanation of the guide. But only in" Western Xia Dynasty culture" exhibition hall, he recorded all. 00000After visiting, we decided to go back to the" Western Xia Dynasty culture" exhibition hall again.
Second: The treasure of the country, need the protection urgently
In the whole process, we are continuously talking about the protection problem.
In fact, current Western Xia Tombs is completely an earth building. The medium considers it as " eastern pyramid", but actually, it isn't being taken good care of. All Westerns Xia Tombs are in open-air, in the northwest weather, such as the strong Sandstorm, as well as the sunlight and the rain water, the " Western Xia Tombs" may leave only with the picture.
The Western Xia Tombs is surrounded with the iron bar, and without a manager as far as we can see. If someone enters ,no one will stop him.
Third: The transportation is inconvenient, the journey is difficult
Several weeks ago we saw an article about the transportation to Western Xia Tombs circumstance on the net. It said that in 1984, a few scholars went to the Western Xia Tombs and cannot find the car, the mayoral finally appeared publicly to solve pileup personally.
20 years later, we had thonght transportation remained no longer a problem. But we in the second day we gathered to know there is no car for going directly to Western Xia Tombs in whole Yinchuan City. The inconvenient transportation prevent so many people from visiting the Western Xia Tombs. They only return regretly.
Fourth: Children's ability is beyond my mind.
I accompanyed them because I cannot put up my mind and the lack of collection of material.
In the car, I start planning this route of travel, then Li Enzu went to fetch me a paper. After seeing, I was astonished and moved by him. This is a plan for inculding how to take photos, how to arrange, the route, whole activity, and the personal mission. I do not know that Li spends how many long hours. I am very clear, even I didn't go with them, they will fulfil the task successfully.
Still there is an event impressed me deeply. In the process, someone found Yin Yue wasn't in the hall. At the same time, all the members rushed out of the exhibition hall, looking for their companion. I do not know what they are thinking of at that time, but one thing I can be sure, that is their quickest speed!
