▲ Ningming Huashan murals, also known as rock paintings, are pictures painted on cave walls and cliffs. It was first discovered in Europe. Its creation time is mostly from the late Paleolithic to the early Iron Age, and its contents are mostly hunting, wildlife, poultry and so on. They are a reflection of the life scenes and ideological wisdom of human ancestors, and an important basis for studying the occurrence and development of a nation, which is of great value. The discovery of Huashan mural fills the blank of China's rock-free paintings. Huashan, located on the bank of Zuojiang River in Tuolong Town, Ningming County, is about 25 kilometers away from the county seat and 0/80 kilometers away from Nanning/KLOC. On the cliff face of Linjiang, which is about 260 meters high, there are a group of large-scale, rich and strange pictures, which are Huashan murals. This painting is nearly 200 meters wide and about 40 to 50 meters high. It uses light red pigments to draw dense images. According to statistics, there are over 1800. Among them, there are more than 300 figures/kloc-0. The biggest figure is more than 3 meters tall, with his head in his tail, a dagger in his hand, a broadsword in his body, and his feet astride the war horse, commanding and commanding, just like a leader. The side seems to be a shiny bronze drum. The figures before and after dance, jump, ride animals, wield knives or hold shields, with different postures and lively enthusiasm. What is the content of this painting? Some people say it's a hunting map, some people say it's a sacrificial map to please the water god, and some people say it's a swearing-in map. Opinions vary, so far there is no conclusion, and tourists can use their imagination to guess. According to textual research, these murals were created by ancestors of Zhuang nationality, and the painting age was about 2000 years ago. Surprisingly, after such a long time, the colors of the murals are still very bright. I wonder what pigments our ancestors used to paint them. What is even more puzzling is how images like axes and knives are drawn on steep cliffs. Mysterious problems attract countless scholars and tourists to think and explore. In addition to Huashan murals, there are more than 50 similar murals on the rocky mountain on the bank of Zuojiang River basin, which is a valuable heritage of Zhuang ancient culture. ▲ Legend of Huashan Mural in Ningming Once upon a time, there was a young man named Monka in Ningming, Li Na. He is very strong and eats a lot. A meal of 60 kg of rice is only enough for porridge, 120 kg of rice is enough. On one occasion, he went to Boning to visit his friends, drank wine and went to the village. He saw a yellow cattle stealing seedlings in the field, so he took a big stone five or six feet high and one or two feet long to beat the cattle. Because the force was too strong, the stone was thrown and carried from Poning at night, which was thirty or forty miles away. At the time of grain harvest, his mother invited someone to cut the grain. After working all day, he didn't pick it. He was so anxious that he urged him to leave several times. He used a beam as a pole, cut bamboo as a rope, and cut the burden of dozens of people's bags a day. Finally, he sat the mowers on it, shrugged his shoulders and picked them up. Later, Mengka wanted to rebel against the emperor, but there were no soldiers and horses, so she painted on paper. The horses and chariots he painted can become real people in a hundred days. However, it can't be known to anyone. So Mengka can only paint in the house by herself during the day and go to work at night. Because everyone went to work in the fields during the day. Mengka had been painting for more than 90 days during the autumn harvest, but at this time, an unfortunate thing happened: his mother was very suspicious and worried when she saw him not working during the day. One day, when he was not at home, she quietly went into his room and opened the box to have a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the box, all the painted horses flew out Monka's soldiers and horses, where are the soldiers and horses of Balai Cave flying? People don't know. Later, in Yaotun, Ningming, there was a poor man who lived by collecting firewood. Ba means Zhuang language mountain. Come on, Zhuang language is a flower. Bale's literal translation is Painting Mountain. ) chopping wood, accidentally, the chopping knife fell to the edge of the cliff and slipped off it. The woodcutter climbed down the steep cliff to the foot of the mountain and unconsciously reached Mingjiang. At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of beating gongs and drums, playing the piano and singing opera in a cave. The woodcutter felt very strange and went to the hole. As soon as I got there, I saw many military forces stationed there. Seeing the arrival of strangers, everyone gathered around and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? "I am a poor man who lives on firewood." The woodcutter said bluntly, "I left my firewood knife on the mountain and came to look for it." When the warriors saw his embarrassment, they all felt pity. One man said, "We have everything you want here. Choose for yourself! " At this time, the woodcutter found that the cave was very wide, full of gold, silver and jewels, shining. But he didn't want anything but a firewood knife and two pounds, and said, "I can eat enough today." I can't cut wood today. " Since then, people in Bayaotun have encountered difficulties in life and have gone to caves to solve them. Young people visit relatives and friends to borrow one or two sets of clothes, and girls borrow jewelry at the concert. But take it back when you use it, and don't keep it for yourself. Later, a greedy man borrowed it and didn't return it, so the cave closed automatically. The greedy man held a grudge and told the emperor about it. The emperor thought that the army in Yan Na's cave must be Monka's army, so he sent many people to fight. The soldiers and horses in the cave were outnumbered and all were killed. There are blood, heads and bodies everywhere, which are reflected on the cliffs by the Mingjiang River, forming the current murals. In the future, whenever I walk to the river or the mountain on a rainy day, I can still vaguely hear the sound of wailing. With a heavy heart, people feel sorry for the unfortunate experience of the warriors, so they discuss inviting monks and Taoists to fight and pray for their souls to ascend to heaven. On the day of the end of fasting, people found that the hole was opened and a golden basin was exposed inside. Everyone is very happy and wants to move out the golden basin for use. However, this hole is too small for people to get in. Everyone put their hands in and pulled, three times and two times, breaking the ears of the pot and closing the hole again. People take the ears of the pulled gold cans to the gold shop for exchange. After paying off the money, there is only one copper coin left. Everyone thinks that this penny is not easy to divide, and it is not easy to buy things. Just throw it into the river. This throw caused a flood, and the flood rushed across the barren slope opposite Bayao. After the water receded, a sandbar appeared, and everyone realized that this penny was a treasure. Now this sandbar is as round as a copper coin and the land is very fertile. People grow working sugar cane and peanuts on it, and there is a good harvest every year. Since then, the hole has never been opened again, and the sound of gongs, drums, playing the piano and singing operas has never been heard again. People are looking for the hole, but they can't find it. They just heard that there is a place as smooth as a stone tablet on the river bank, that is, the hole. The figure of man and beast in Huashan mural is the image of those heroes in those days. Every time we encounter strong winds, thunder and lightning, and heavy rain, the graphics of murals are peeling off. The old man said this: they went somewhere else to do unfinished business.
