When the wind of history blows Pamirs, the plateau shines with "two" bright pearls. With the charm of art, the light of intangible cultural heritage, and the belief of unswerving persistence and pursuit of happiness, they depict the splendid picture of the cultural diversity of the Chinese nation, showing unparalleled beauty and charm.

On May 19, the launching ceremony of the main venue of "China Tourism Day" in Xinjiang was opened in Baisha Lake Scenic Area, Aktau County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture.

At the event site, the wonderful Kumzi cooking performance successfully ignited the scene atmosphere. The melodious and melodious sound of the zither directly pokes at the heart; The cheerful performance style makes the scene atmosphere warm up instantly.

The "People's Model" volunteer border guard Burumahan Mulledo and the "Party Emblem Uncle" Abdul Japar Mende are all Kirgiz ethnic groups in Xinjiang Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture.

The ancestors of the Kirgiz took root in the fertile soil in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River more than a thousand years ago, and then they followed the changes of the times and gradually migrated to the southwest of Tianshan. The long history and the tempering of animal husbandry life not only shape the heroic and free personality of the Kirgiz people, but also nurture their rich and colorful cultural connotation. From the vagrancy of nomadic life to the stability and peace of settled life, the happiness experienced by the Kirgiz nationality is like the epic Manas, which has gone through vicissitudes but still shines.

Manas is a large-scale and colorful epic of folk heroes. It depicts in detail the brilliant life and outstanding achievements of several generations of heroes of the "Manas" family in the form of beautiful and moving verse singing with a strong sense of rhythm, supplemented by fascinating plots and beautiful language expression.

History flows continuously among ethnic groups, while art is deeply rooted in embroidery. Each stitch and each line of felt hat is painted with colorful patterns, and intangible cultural heritage culture is passed on in these stories.

Stroking the delicate texture of Kirgiz embroidery, my eyes now seem to wander in the colorful colors, passing through the fog of time, and tracing the memory of a thousand years. These embroideries are not only the crystallization of skills, but also the precious marks left by intangible cultural heritage in the long history.

The sound of Kumzi is melodious again, and the intangible cultural heritage music contained in it is like a time tunnel, leading us through time and space, into the dreamlike ancient city of the Western Regions, away from the chaos and noise of the world. Please listen carefully. The song echoes among the mountains, as if it leads us to the nearest place from our dreams.

You will be surprised to find a group of hard-working, brave, honest and hospitable Kirgiz brothers and sisters around here.

"Hello, my friend!" This greeting is warm and sincere, as melodious and pleasant as Kumzi's music, and deeply affectionate and joyful.

Under the brilliant morning light, the Pamirs Plateau shows incomparable beauty against the background of towering snow mountains. At this moment, the melodious and euphemistic sound of eagle flute comes with the wind, and the old man of vicissitudes chants "Why are flowers so red".

On the Pamirs, there lives such an ancient and legendary nation. They are "descendants of the eagle". When they play the eagle flute, the eagle's flying, circling, diving, fighting... all kinds of gestures are presented in the eagle dance.

Simple, innocent, friendly and full of enthusiasm, they nurtured pure and flawless souls in the vast vast fields and towering white snow mountains. They are loyal watchers on the top of the snow mountain, passed down from generation to generation, and unswervingly guard the border land of the motherland. Their existence has built an indestructible defense line on the border of the motherland, contributing to the country's peace and prosperity.

They are the "Eagle of Mountains" - Tajik.

"The model of the times" Lazini Bayika once said: "We are border guards without military uniforms!"

In thousands of years of history, the Tajik people, like the flame burning on the Pamirs, have nurtured and blossomed a colorful national culture. Its unique Tajik eagle dance, Tajik marriage customs, Tajik Water Diversion Festival and Sowing Festival, Tajik folk songs, Tajik polo sport and Tajik clothing have all been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

Whether you want to feel the natural beauty of Jincaotan Wetland, explore the historical relics of Tashkurgan Stone City, or appreciate the unique customs of Tajik folk villages, this place can be called an "international plateau style tourist resort". Its unique charm attracts tourists from all over the world.

In this beautiful early summer, together with the China Tourism Day, we will meet Kazhou in Xinjiang and enjoy the profound national heritage bred by the Pamirs.
