The world is so big that it is full of wonders. We, as individuals, are incomparably small in front of the world, just like an ant. We know very little about nature, so many unsolved mysteries occur frequently. Each mysterious story is full of human beings' awe for nature. As one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, China has stood for five thousand years in the world. The civilizations of many countries have been connected with China. The extremely long history has created countless unsolved mysteries. The mystery of the disappearance of the ancient country of Loulan and the mystery of the waters of Laoye Temple are one of them.
The Ancient Loulan Kingdom exists in many Chinese novels and film and television dramas. It is not a random fabrication in novels, but actually exists in Chinese history. According to historical records, the ancient Loulan Kingdom was located in what is now Xinjiang, and coexisted with Lop Nur . The location of Loulan is extremely important. With the creation of the Silk Road in China, the city of Loulan has become an important city where the East and the West meet. Relying on the right time and place, Loulan's development is getting better and better. The city is getting bigger and bigger, and there are countless merchants from the east to the west of the city. Any peak will come to an end. Later, for unknown reasons, Loulan gradually disappeared, disappearing from the Lop Nur basin as if the world had evaporated, never to be seen again.
After the decline of the Qing Dynasty, Western explorers took a look at various places of interest in China. A Swede named Sven Hedin spent a huge amount of time searching for the lost ancient country of Loulan based on clues in the classics. He actually found what he thought was a hopeless thing and stole many cultural relics from the ruins. Once this incident came out, countless explorers came to the land of Xinjiang one after another, and the ancient Loulan country gradually reappeared in people's sight.
Our country has not forgotten the exploration of the ancient country of Loulan. In 1980, after years of preparation, the scientific expedition team entered the hometown of Loulan. Facing the endless desert, the scientific expedition team advanced in an orderly manner. However, the vast desert made it difficult for the scientific expedition team due to lack of water sources. Then the team members separated to search for water sources, and finally the group mysteriously disappeared in the desert. Later, our country organized another inspection, but the team members died in the desert for a very strange reason.
It can be known from ancient books that Loulan was extremely powerful at that time and was also a powerful country in Central Asia and other places. Why did it disappear from the world in an instant? Some scholars speculate that Loulan's funeral system destroyed the natural environment, causing strong winds and sand to annihilate Loulan, and due to the gradual lack of water sources, Loulan eventually lost its glory. Of course, this speculation is not necessarily true.
Jiangxi has the famous Fanyang Lake in China. When the water in Fanyang Lake is so deep, you can’t see the bottom. The water area of Laoye Temple is in the middle of Fanyang Lake and plays an important role in connecting the past and the future. However, it is at this important location that countless ships sank for no reason, and many people’s lives were also lost in the sea along with the ships. Under feudal superstition, the ancients believed that the water god was angry, and the lost ship was a warning to everyone.
In the 1960s, a fishing boat sailed to the waters of Laoye Temple as usual, but not long after, news came: the ship completely sank in the waters of Laoye Temple! In 1985, more than a dozen ships sank in the waters of Laoye Temple, and no one could figure out the cause.
In 2011, the water level of Fanyang Lake dropped a lot due to drought. The state took this opportunity to send divers to launch operations, and eventually discovered numerous shipwrecks in the waters of Laoye Temple. Then technicians used relevant technologies to analyze the water velocity, pressure, drainage field, etc. in the waters of Laoye Temple, and finally discovered that there was a huge sand bar in the waters of Laoye Temple, which was also the main cause of the shipwreck.
Today, science and technology continue to develop, some unsolved mysteries have been solved, but there are some mysterious phenomena that we have not yet solved. In fact, legends and superstitions are not scary. We should look at the world with a worldview of scientific development. The existence of unsolved mysteries also inspires us to continue to develop science and technology!
