Some people envy the heroes in "Justice League" and "Avengers" who can save the world. But in fact, there has never been a shortage of heroes in China. From the temple, there are wise monarchs and honest officials who serve the people in history; from the people, there are chivalrous roars who roar when they see unfairness, teahouse owners who bravely act... and those border soldiers who guard the border and shed their blood... You will find that heroes really have diverse identities, which also corresponds to the old saying "Heroes do not care about their origins."
is in the latest issue of "It's on the stage! In Dunhuang", Dunhuang Exploration Group Wang Han, THE9-Xie Keyin, Qian Zhenghao, Li Haoyuan and Dunhuang person Wei Chen divided into two groups, searching for the heroic deeds of Zhang Qian, Zhang Yichao and even Princess Jieyou from the murals, measuring the heroic path in practice, and listening to the silent "education" of the heroes of the thousand-year-old Dunhuang heroes.
Tracing back thousands of years of history and understanding the heroic stories of the time, Dunhuang murals are the best information. The "Picture of Zhang Qian's Going to the Western Regions" in Cave 323 of Mogao Grottoes describes the scene before Zhang Qian bid farewell to Emperor Wu of Han to the west. Many people think that Zhang Qian is riding on the horse, but in fact, he is the one who kneels on the ground.
Most people’s understanding of Zhang Qian must have started with junior high school history textbooks, knowing that he is the pioneer of the “Silk Road”. But only after witnessing Zhang Qian's murals on the Western Regions and understanding the details of the story can we have a more comprehensive understanding of this "eye-opener".
The "Zhang Yichao's Travel to the Army" in Cave 156 of Mogao Grottoes depicts a grand scene of Zhang Yichao, the supreme ruler of the Dunhuang region of the Tang Dynasty, after accepting the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty as the governor of Hexi. The picture is lively and vivid, not only a military band, but also a guard of honor, which is very similar to the current military parade. Zhang Yichao is located in the middle of the picture, wearing a round-necked red robe, a leather belt, and a white horse. He traveled to fight against Tubo and recover Hexi, with great momentum!
Of course, in the heroic history of Dunhuang, there are not only those great men who have made achievements in the murals, but also female heroes, such as Princess Jieyou, who is married. With her outstanding political talents, she actively cooperated with the Han Dynasty and curbed the Huns, which played a major role in the unification of the Western Regions and the smooth flow of the Silk Road. She lived in the Western Regions for more than 50 years, and returned to Chang'an, Kyoto, and died of illness two years later.
So, a true hero dares to sacrifice himself for justice. Although heroes such as Zhang Qian, Zhang Yichao, Princess Jieyou, and Mulan have gone with history, the hero's deeds are still circulating. Now when we come to Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, we can still feel the hero’s style through murals.
is in the latest issue of "On the stage! In Dunhuang, in order to pay tribute to the heroes, Shaking, Haohao, Haoyuan and Wei Chen all wore armor and turned into "Dunhuang Generals", with a full heroic look. The editor couldn't help but shout with Shaking: "So cool!"
of course, being cool is secondary, and actual combat is the main thing! But when Shaking and Haohao practiced offense and defense with sword shields, one could not understand the movements, and the other could not remember the movements, and a slowed-down version of the martial arts film was staged!
In addition to the intense martial arts performance, the four of them also experienced the "Battle Fire Transmission" and tried to get the original skill - "Diamond wood to make fire"! As the situation became more and more urgent, the enemy was approaching, some lit cigarettes and some stolen beacons. The scene was once very chaotic. Can the ignition be successfully ignited? It has aroused the editor's appetite!
As the saying goes, practice brings true knowledge, the four will wear more than 20 kilograms of armor, take 6 camels and food to cross the desert, and re-take the heroic path.This task looks simple. We were in sight of victory, but unexpectedly, the rope broke and the food fell all over the floor...
I thought it would be fine to pick it up, but the dunes were up and down, and camels also had a very unique personality. They had to carry the dunes, and they could not pull them even if they got stubborn! Seeing them walking hard, the editor was both distressed and wanted to laugh. I am curious whether the soldiers who were walking through the desert with camels would have encountered such a dilemma.
The sky is getting darker and the temperature drops sharply. In order to experience this Dunhuang hero’s road to guard the border. The four of them had to keep cheering themselves up: "Even if we climb, we have to climb out of this desert!" They were so energetic!
However, can the Dunhuang Exploration Team, which frequently encounters setbacks, finally complete the task successfully? Let me look forward to iQiyi's "Ready" at 12 noon this Wednesday! Dunhuang's heroic chapter!
