Mysterious and beautiful

But it’s very far away

There is a place that many people yearn for

At the same time, many people take long vacations and go to places by plane

But what you don’t know is

Gansu has the only one in the country

A place that dares to call Jiuzhaigou

But little known

Its beauty is comparable to Jiuzhaigou

If you don’t believe me, just look down

Jiuzhaigou is particularly blessed by God,

Strange by the mountains, spirit by the water,

Sometimes, it is like a girl in white gauze,

Sometimes, it looks like a mighty dragon.

But as you know,

Take a group photo to commemorate the peerless beauty in long queues,

There is also a secret place in Gansu,

Not inferior to this.

Follow me to appreciate its elegance.

Here is a waterfall comparable to Jiuzhaigou,

Rushed out of the dense forest,

Like green looms that never stop,

Weaving various specifications of white silk.

Here is a maple forest comparable to Jiuzhaigou,

High-profile show their beauty,

It is a free and easy without any embellishment,

And the arrogance that does not care about the prosperity of the world.

There is an ice waterfall comparable to Jiuzhaigou,

A series of frozen icicles hung in the air,

Solidify time and beauty together.

Here is

Guan’egou, Longnan, Gansu.

The sun shines on the fresh and bright official goose ditch,

After the rain, it is more beautiful and enchanting,

The bottomless lake was blown with blue waves by the wind,

After the rendering of sunlight,

The sparkling is a bit dazzling.

Those unpredictable clouds,

Or flow,

Or stop,

Intentionally or unconsciously added decoration to the blue sky.

Chinese paleontologists have found ancient insects, snakes, ancient birds and even dinosaur tails in fossil Burmese amber. Thanks to the special preservative properties of amber, these fossils have retained their original shape after 100 million years. One of the dinosaur feathers discovered in the amber piece was damaged by chewing and the markings are similar to the feathers of modern birds with parasitic lice. Feather is one of the types of “special impurities” preserved in Burmese amber, including neck feathers and insect feathers. Not long ago, two pieces of feathered amber from Myanmar attracted paleontologists because through microscopic observations, the researchers noticed some ancient bugs in the feathers. Although these bugs are small and hard to see, paleontologists have found that they have unique and striking habits. The newly discovered insect is named Mesophthirus engeli, revealing the early makeup of the lice ancestor. Mesophthirus engeli has no wings and a body similar to a lice. The team found that they chewed very vigorously through the marks of a dinosaur’s fur. A team of researchers from the Capital Education University of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Capital Medical Science University, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Russian Academy of Sciences studied the studies. Small insects preserved in amber and discovered this particular beetle. Archaeologists have named this tiny insect Mesophthirus engeli with the genus “Mesophthirus” from the Greek word and the name “engeli” is dedicated to Michael S. Engel, a famous paleontologist. Americans, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the study of ancient insects. The earliest appearing fur-eating insect was thought to be Megamenopon rasnitsyni. The lice fossils were unearthed in Germany 44 million years ago, according to Chungkun Shih, study author at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of Natural History. Researchers also found evidence of Jurassic and Cretaceous parasitic parasites 66 to 201 million years ago. This ancient bug was very small with a length of less than 0.2 mm, so researchers had to use an electron microscope to see its shape. Mesophthirus engeli looks very much like today’s lice, but it has a larger head with black dot-like eyes on the sides and two tentacles with three long spines on top of the head. Mesophthirus engeli can be said to possess a body “three rings as one”, with the head, chest and abdomen equally wide, six feet short, with claws and long spines at the end, can be grasped. This finding suggests that the insect’s feathering behavior has originated at least in the mid Cretaceous period. Although it looks like a lice, the Mesophthirus engeli species is far different from modern lice and lice. Hence, paleontologists established a new ancient taxon of insects – Mesophagous caterpillars. Compared with the body, the mouth of Mesophthirus engeli is very large and strong, two large jaws are serrated, capable of chewing very strongly. In addition, the researchers also found that in the amber pieces containing these ancient bugs all had the presence of feathers and they all existed signs of damage: broken niches formed near the body. feathers and feathers are also broken. The marks of damaged feathers resemble those left by a feather-eating bug after chewing on the feathers. And obviously, the culprit of these traces was none other than the Mesophthirus engeli species. The origin and early evolution of the hairy trait in insects is inherently ambiguous due to the lack of records of Mesozoic fossils – the period of tectonic, climatic and progressive activities. chemical. Blood-sucking insects were found during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, but dinosaur fur-eating insects have not been previously reported. The discovery of this ancient feather-eating beetle is of great significance, because it has pushed the history of feather-eating insects to 55 million years, because before the discovery of this beetle, the earliest feather-eating insect. is known to mankind in the Kainozoic era 44 million years ago. Thus, the discovery of Mesophthirus engeli filled the gap in the early evolution of a feather-eating insect. Mesophthirus engeli lived in the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago, this is also an important period of diversity and differentiation of primitive birds and feathered dinosaurs, it can be said that this is also the setting stage. parasitic relationship between feathering insects and their host.

According to records, this is the settlement of the 27th descendant of Zhuge Liang. This village was also the largest residence of descendants of Gia Cat in the mid and late Yuan Dynasty.

Why is this Zhuge village said to be the first strange village in China? There are three reasons for this.

First, the vast majority of villagers are descendants of Zhuge Liang, a talented prime minister and military man during the Three Kingdoms period. In other words, almost everyone in the village has the surname of Zhuge Liang or is married to the Zhuge family. There are very few people who are not members of the Zhuge clan.

According to a statistic from the 7th Zhuge Liang Workshop, there are about 16,000 descendants of Zhuge Liang in China. Of these, a quarter (about 4,000 people) live alone in Gia Cat village.

Second, this village is still strange in its subtle and mysterious layout.

Looking down from above, the whole arrangement, distribution of houses, to the alleys in the village all coincide with the Bat Mon map of Zhuge Liang in history.

The topography of Gia Cat village is arranged in the middle of low and flat, the surrounding ascending. Water flows from above and converges in the central area, forming a pond.

This pond is a special feature of Gia Cat village, which is also the starting place for the Bat Battle. The pond is not big, but inside there is water, outside is earth, and has the same shape as Tai chi in the Bat Monster. What a strange thing.

Centered on the pond, there were eight alleys open in all directions, leading directly to eight high mounds outside the village.

In the village, there are also many narrow alleys connected horizontally, in the alley there are thousands of households, many ancient houses are scattered among the alleys.

The alleys near the central pond are at first relatively straight, then gradually fold and expand to the outside. Besides, there are many alleys that are connected vertically and horizontally, which looks like a maze.

It is difficult for outsiders to enter alleys, and even get lost. Therefore, for hundreds of years, no one has dared to enter this village. It has become a secluded place from the world.

Interestingly, the descendants of Zhuge Liang who have lived here for hundreds of years also do not realize the magic of this layout. It was not until the relevant records were found in an ancient book that everyone was at this point.
