Flaming roses
As soon as I entered the oasis in southern Xinjiang in summer, I saw more than just trees. Flowers will bloom on both sides of the road, in the gap of the forest belt by the canal, and in front of and behind the house of fellow villagers. People's favorite flower is the rose. Red, yellow and purple roses decorate people's lives, and the oasis of makeup is colorful. Villagers like roses, love roses, and plant roses if they can grow crops. Cut off the branches that grew in those years one by one before winter, tie them up and bury them in the soil. The next spring, cut the branches into sections, insert them obliquely on the flat ground and water them. However, in a few days, green buds will come out, followed by one rose after another and a string of roses.

Roses have many uses. It is more common to pick budding buds and dry them to make tea. A cup of green tea, as long as you put two or three flower buds on it and soak it in boiling water, will be fragrant and refreshing, and a cup of rose tea will make you refreshed.

Picking fresh and tender rose petals, chopping them, mixing them with white sugar and honey to make rose sauce, storing it in a sand jar, sealing it and fermenting it in the sun, which is a favorite food for people. The better rose sauce is, the less bad it will be. Flower paste stored for more than 10 years still has medicinal value. If you feel sick to your stomach, eat a spoonful of flower sauce, or drink it with water, or eat it on the naan, and the effect will be obvious. Rose essential oil extracted from rose petals is the king of incense, and its price is more expensive than gold.

Everyone in my hometown who lives in the oasis likes roses. Before the sixties and seventies, on the day of the fair, you would see old men with white beards, wearing new clothes, riding donkeys with roses in their ears, holding a chicken in their arms or carrying some food on their backs to the countryside for the fair. The roses on the spike set off the slightly upturned white beard, and the flowers and beard danced with the rhythm of the donkey's hoof. When he arrived at the market, he sold chicken or grain, ate two baked steamed buns and ate a plate of bean jelly. Roses bring him happiness and satisfaction, just like a feast in heaven.

Where do roses bloom well? Everyone knows that it belongs to Aquile. The water from the Kreiya River came to argyle. In spring, the roses on both sides of the river are in bloom, and the roses are endless. The clear river reflects the flowers, interwoven with the blue sky and white clouds, and it is beautiful.

May is the best season to pick roses. At this time of the year, the girls will put on the most beautiful flower skirts, with the flowers they think are the most beautiful on their heads, and be in the sea of flowers. The girls' songs will float on both sides of the Kerria River.

Is the water in the Kerria River sweet?

Where does this river come from?

It came down from the mountain in the south.

Are there many birds on the flowers?

Where did it come from?

It flew in from Bostangkule.

Is the rose on Armanguli's head beautiful?

Where did it come from?

It was picked from the garden by the Kerria River.

In winter, people will carefully prune the flowers that have grown for a year and bury them in the soil one by one. In the coming year, when the Keriya River flows again, the sleeping branches wake up, and the fragrant flowers, floral fragrance and beautiful songs of Guli people are swaying and spreading far and far.
