The wind of the grassland may not leave a trace.

For a long time, the genes of nomadic people have been left in the body. From the Huns to the Xianbei, the people on horseback have been fascinated by me. But they are like the wind on the grassland, stirring up a pile of dust in the long river of history, and quietly scattered around, leaving only a few words, hidden in the corners of history books or in the windows of museums. The moment I really understood this nation was the afternoon when I walked into the Dazhao Wuliang Temple. The dark clouds are pressing on the city and there is drizzle, making the 400-year-old building even more desolate. As time goes by, the golden horses and iron horses on the desert grassland have long been silent, and the sound of the horse's head in the Mongolian bag has been long and long. The Buddha statue in the main hall looks at the devout worship of all beings, witnessing the vicissitudes of the long river of time without saying a word, the former emperor of the Qing Dynasty, those princes and nobles, and the border herdsmen, every living passerby, all here I offered my inner prayer, either for the country, or for my family, or for myself. The eight-treasure exquisite lamp listened to everyone's silent whispers, and also stained everyone's worldly dust. The thick dust was his full face of wrinkles and white beard. I stayed in the main hall for a long time, not for anything else, just to be able to look at him a few more times, look at his pure silver Buddha statue, look at his exquisite dragon pillar, look at his luck that has survived the war, and look at him. Look at everything and look at everything. I was thinking about what wishes the ancients had made before the Buddha. I was thinking that for hundreds of years, would anyone think like me, staying here stupidly, not for anything else, just to look at him a few more times. Perhaps, the meaning of the Buddha is not to let you ask for something from him, but to let you find a moment of peace because of a moment of letting go.
