Rock paintings have a wide range of subjects, from depicting the sun, the moon and the universe to depicting the feet of animals, as well as hunting, grazing and dancing scenes. Rock paintings are bold and unrestrained in artistic modeling and simple in composition, with unique artistic conception and artistic value. The largest number of them are all kinds of faces. Many people's faces are simple, most of them have eyebrows, noses and mouths, but they just lack a pair of eyes, which may be related to the customs and beliefs of the painters. There is also an intriguing and interesting phenomenon, that is, the face has the outline of a standing person, with bent arms, legs spread apart and a long knife inserted in the waist, showing the image of a wizard and being the center of the totem. This unique worship and admiration is rare in other rock paintings.
People in face rock paintings, some with horns on their heads and some with feathers, may be camouflage when hunting; Some people still wear pointed domes. The rock paintings that show women, some with headdresses and hair tied in a bun, are graceful and charming, reappearing the pursuit of beauty by ancient women thousands of years ago. Others show the joy and interest of life, or have big ears, high nose and long hair on their faces, or bones in their mouths, which may show people dancing when celebrating the harvest of hunting. In addition, there are all kinds of animal rock paintings, such as running deer, a pair of prominent rock sheep, a horse with mane, a dog wagging its tail and birds and animals, all of which are lifelike.
According to textual research, the rock paintings of Helan Mountain are not the works of a nation in a certain period, and their duration may be as long as 2000 years. Many ancient nationalities living in Helan Mountain have successively completed this art painting library. Rock paintings are their way of expressing their feelings, wishes and beliefs? A record of artistic mentality? . The creation of rock paintings can be roughly divided into two periods: one is made by nomadic tribes of Xiongnu from pre-Qin to Han Dynasty; Second, it was written by nomadic people in Dangxiang from the Five Dynasties to the early founding of Xixia. After hunting and working, they express their thoughts, feelings and customs in this way, showing their rich imagination and endless creativity. Today, the history books of these stones have become valuable artistic and cultural heritage.
Dear tourists, some of the rock paintings at Helankou are carved first and then ground, with smooth lines; Some draw the outline first, and the lines deepen. The artistic expression is simple and naive, similar to the image written by children. That is, describe what you see, express what you think directly, and reveal the mysterious charm of nature and roughness. I'll believe that when I see it. I believe everyone will benefit a lot from today's trip.

Dear guests, hello,
Everyone came to our beautiful south of the Yangtze River not far from Wan Li. I wonder how much you know about Ningxia. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Let me give you a brief introduction.
Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. Ning? It borders Shaanxi in the east, Inner Mongolia in the north and Gansu in the south, with a land area of 66,400 square kilometers. It is the only provincial Hui autonomous region in China. Founded on June 25th, 1958, known as? Muslim land? The population of the Hui nationality is more than 6 million, accounting for 1/3 of the total population in the region. Many ethnic groups are United and friendly here, living and working in peace and contentment. As early as 30,000 years ago, human beings have thrived here. The ancient Yellow River civilization, mysterious Xixia history, beautiful pearls and magnificent desert scenery have gradually been known by the world and entered the world after the development of the western regions.
? Huang Hefu and Ningxia in the world? The Yellow River is 5,464 kilometers long and flows through Ningxia for 397 kilometers. The Yellow River enters Ningxia from Heishan Gorge in Gansu Province, with a gentle flow and a wide water surface. It has created a rich Yellow River Hetao irrigation area for Ningxia. Irrigation from the Yellow River has a history of more than 2,000 years. Emperors of past dynasties were more concerned about water conservancy projects, including Qin Canal, Han Canal, Tang Lai Canal and Han Yan Canal in Qin and Han Dynasties. Because there are a lot of sediment and trace elements in the Yellow River water, plus Ningxia,
The mountains in China are basically east-west, but there are two north-south mountains in Ningxia. This is the famous Helan Mountain and Liupanshan Mountain. Helan Mountain is located at the junction of Ningxia and Inner Mongolia, with a length of 50-250 kilometers from east to west and 456 kilometers from north to south. What is Helan in Mongolian? horse The great temperature difference between morning and evening in Ningxia is attributed to Helan Mountain, because Helan Mountain has blocked the invasion of Siberian cold current and the eastward movement of Tengger Desert, and has become a natural barrier in Yinchuan Plain and a big oxygen bar in Ningxia. Helan Mountain has 1.9 million hectares of green vegetation, rare animals and national protected animals. Helan Stone, one of the five treasures in Ningxia, is produced on Helan Mountain. Another famous mountain in southern Ningxia is Liupanshan, which was the last mountain that the Red Army crossed in the Long March. Because the ancient Panshan road needs six sets to reach the top of the mountain, it is named Liupanshan. Grandpa Mao, the great leader, left immortal poems here. "Qingping Music, Liupan Mountain" is called the South? Oil basin? Now it is a national experimental zone for poverty alleviation through tourism. Liupanshan is under development and construction, but its beautiful scenery is still fascinating. These two Baoshan mountains are like two brave warriors, the gates to the north and south of Ningxia.
? Muslim land? Ningxia, due to its dense population and living habits, Large dispersion and small settlement? The Hui population accounts for13 of Ningxia's population and 2/5 of the national population. Brilliant Hui culture and customs are the most attractive signs. Mosques of all sizes appear in every corner of Ningxia. Muslims in Hui costumes entertain guests from afar. The golden and delicious oil fragrance is in front of them, which makes people fascinated. The unique living customs will definitely make you linger. The Xixia Mausoleum at the foot of Helan Mountain is telling its ups and downs. As early as 1038 to 1227, the Tangut Khan Li Yuanhao established the Daxia regime in Yinchuan. Located in the west of the Yellow River and northwest of China, it was called Xixia in 189. However, many people do not know the history of Xixia. Juexue? Few people in the world know Xixia characters. The Xixia, which was once brilliant in history, quietly withdrew from the world's sight because of what happened. Let's go to the Xixia Mausoleum, a country that also decrypts mysteries.
Because Ningxia is located in the northwest and surrounded by three deserts, sandstorms in Ningxia are also a valuable tourism resource. The first batch of 5A-level eco-tourism scenic spots in Shizuishan City, Husha Lake, have unique scenery. As the name implies, there is a sand lake here, and the Jinsha embraces the Cuihu, and the Cuihu surrounds the Jinsha. The two different styles of scenery blend with each other. Secretary Jiang's inscription and the reputation of the lake attract Chinese and foreign tourists to visit here. Sand mountain, blue lake, birds, fish and reeds all look like their own scenery, but they can't escape the constant admiration of tourists. Shapotou, a 5A-level global environmental protection unit that impressed the world with its achievements in sand control, also shed her enchanting tenderness on this hot land. Shapotou is located on the edge of Tengger Desert. Wheat straw checkered sand barrier? It stopped the footsteps of 43,000 square kilometers of Tengger Desert, and made the first desert railway in China pass through here. With the development and construction of Shapotou, it is also called? Top ten most interesting places in the country? Go to see the endless sand sea, go boating in the desert, listen to the jingle of camel bells and look forward to the sexy curve of the Yellow River. You can only experience it if you are there. A sand lake, a sand river. Perhaps, this is the place you have searched for countless times in your dream!
