The building is formed from a frame of columns and floors that have been spontaneously constructed since before architect G+architects participated in the design. The job of the G+architects architect is to expand a part of the floor to meet the function, strengthen the structure, connect the existing and unchanged things to a certain order and modulus. The main direction of the house is Southeast, this is the direction with a beautiful view, behind the West, the sun is quite strong in the afternoon. Therefore, the design team decided to use a tile shell covering the house from the wall to the roof, the hollow part and the glass wall focus all on the front. The work is formed from a frame of columns and floors that have been constructed spontaneously before. With a favorable location located under a small valley, the work can be observed from afar. The red block of tile appears as a prominent view in the middle of the valley. The tile layer covered from the wall to the roof shortens the impact of the westward sunlight into the house. The porch (veranda) is stretched like country houses. The slope of the tile roof allows to push the space of the dining room and kitchen area to become more outstanding and open. The dining room and kitchen are crowded places. Red tiles cover Xuan Anh’s house.

In this space, the family can sit and sip a cup of tea, catching the sunrise in the morning. The living room, kitchen and dining room are seamlessly connected. The glass facade allows the house to receive a sufficient amount of natural light. The house uses completely glass walls, family members can easily see the nature outside. In addition, homeowners also save energy when the house uses a lot of glass. Architects G+architects chose the form of hiding the attic floor including the guest bedroom and the warehouse due to the relatively low density of use. The owner’s bedroom is separate, has a nice view of the garden and a large private porch and is located in the shade of the roof.

Utah is relatively rich, the crops in the watershed are very lush, there are gold, copper, lead and uranium mines, and it is a place to welcome tourists almost all year round. However, the scenery on both sides of the road from California running through Nevada to Utah was so dry that if anyone took a picture and bragged that it was the way to Mars, someone would also believe it. Photo: Lifeidealism Weeds are scattered, the ground is scorched dark brown, nature is vast and empty, looking far away only looks lonely. There is a section where the path turns to another direction, and you can see the road sign to the Ghost City, where in the past people looking for gold built up and then left after running out of gold. Both sides of the road into Utah are mountainous. Road to Springdale Village. For 60 million years, nature has been meticulously carving and pruning to create a unique shape for this land. Sometimes there is an area equal to a few dozen roofs of pure wholesale houses, like everyone knows each other. Then again, the mountains faltered, there were high and pointed peaks, and there were flat tables like the sky, as if the sky had pushed the river bottom up to the ground. Many roads are nestled between two mountains close together, so close that looking up feels suffocating, like a rocky mountain wanting to grab people. Like that, finally, the Zion National Park, located in southwestern Utah, welcomes visitors with the gentle little village of Springdale (which was once covered by the magazine). Forbes Traveler Dot is one of the 20 most beautiful cities in the United States). The village is so peaceful that the sound of cars is also smooth. The people are gentle and sweet. Under the clear sun and autumn chill, the village’s only road lies indifferently resting until summer is busy. Road in the middle of the mountain. Zion National Park has no green grass stretching many hundreds of meters, nor does it have elaborately manicured or artificial flowers. Here everything is real, the trees and leaves are freely showing off their colors, the mountains and rivers are majestic, the feelings of a race that has been almost extinct. To visit the park, visitors can walk, cycle, drive, or take the free bus every ten minutes. The driver was very polite, every time he walked up, he smiled and asked: “How are you today?”. You must be healthy to go climbing, so all passengers happily said they were well and asked: “What about you?”. “If you don’t climb, you also have to have decent legs so that every time the bus stops at any station you like, you can go down to take pictures, take a walk …”. Sinawava temple looks like Angkor temple. The park has eight bus stations in all. The first station before winding up the mountain is a museum containing 1,600 archaeological artifacts, recounting the life and journey of the first people who lived here. There is a movie theater in the whole park from rivers and streams, the scenery is magnificent and magnificent with many caves but only extremely supple legs with more than ten kilograms of luggage on their back, diving all day long. can admire. Visitors only see them in the souvenir shop through magnified art pictures with the same price. There are places where the mountains are trimmed like a winding silk, there are places where the mountains are like small towers lying on top of each other, or caves where the pebbles are smooth with time and the water is as clear as jade. The last station is Sinawava Shrine located at the narrowest entrance of the park. This place has a memorable scene with standing rocks close together and pure white clouds floating on the clear blue sky. Wordless stories at the park Every year Zion welcomes more than two million visitors and the government here spends about $2.5 billion on renovations. However, the ticket price to the park is very favorable: 25 USD for a car for a week, in and out as many times as you can. If you only enter a few times, you cannot walk through the vast 593km2. Bus stop. We also only have enough time to travel around a red mountain range. The two sides of the mountain road rise up to look at the people around below, the green trees stand out against the red background. Sometimes, on one side of the mountain, there are abundant rivers and streams, the sad voice tells the history of tens of millions of years of existence. Although the fauna in Zion is very rich, visitors often only encounter squirrels, rabbits or a few deer leisurely grazing. You can only see it when you see it, but it’s not convenient for anyone to eat anything, the park management will be forced to kill it immediately to avoid disaster. The consequences of this can be fear of animals being infected with city germs that the natural environment does not know how to cure, or it can create a habit of craving for urban food, and then in order to eat again, they have to run away from the cage. Go find a place where there are people, and there are people who are dangerous… A quiet autumn afternoon filled with gloom, tourists no one speaks loudly, no one runs or jumps, standing in the territory of a strange ethnic group but feeling sorry for them, with all their quiet remembrance of their glorious times. . Bus. More than 900 kinds of plants are rampant, even on the craggy cliffs there are passionate red flowers. Autumn on both sides of the region is bright yellow, in the clear sunlight, the leaves stand out on the black asphalt. Asphalt, vehicles, cameras, mobile phones… the manifestations of technological civilization entering the vast and overwhelming nature. On the mountainside, sometimes there are a few hollow holes in the sky ready for children to take shelter on rainy days, it is touching to think of how many steps have stopped there, the souls are still entangled here and there. In the park area, apart from a few blocks of houses at each bus stop, sometimes a few lonely rooftops rise among the grass and rocks. Any, from the flat, round or angular rock lying next to each other on the layer of yellow leaves that cover the ground, visitors also find the charm of the Indian soul. Is there a feeling of sadness when the last rays of the day are still on the top of the mountain and the cold begins to pour down the road surface… Shoe tree. Leaving this attractive area during the day, we encountered a bare tree trunk with a lot of shoes hanging on it, I don’t know if it was because of tourists playing or the feet of the ancients visiting the country? But the Indian soul was only faint. They live in reserved sanctuaries. Many American Indians with very different cultures between them have created poverty, low levels of education and living on the margins of society, although it is said that the US government is very preferential to the descendants of these ethnic groups. , they are subsidized for life, do not pay taxes, own many casinos … Maybe that’s why not many people think about the past. But a people whose land has been ceded or occupied, where all activities are disrupted or controlled, is no longer a nation! Museum. Suddenly remember in the cowboy movie, the pioneers who conquered the West, if they saw the mountain peak exposed in the sky, an Indian man strutting on horseback was enough to run away. Movie enthusiasts told themselves they had to pay the park management for visitors to relive that creepy feeling! The afternoon is low and the cold air from the mountain has been released, visitors come down to the mountain with sadness before the natural landscape with deep red skin color.

Many people believe that, even after his death, Vo Tac Thien still had great influence on the nation’s destiny. Not far away, many people believe that even Can Lang – where Vo Tac Thien chose to be his burial place – also contains many secrets… 1. In February 705, Empress Wu became seriously ill and could no longer take care of the government. Taking that opportunity, the prime minister Truong Gian Tri led the civil and martial mandarins in the court, carried out a coup, stormed the harem, captured and killed the two brothers Truong Xuong Tong – who were greatly favored by Empress Wu – and then forced Empress Wu to cast a decree ceding the throne to Crown Prince Lee Hien. Ly Hien ascended to the throne again, known as Duong Trung Tong, Empress Wu retired as Thai Thuong Hoang and died in November of that year. On her deathbed, Empress Wu asked Lee Hsien to use the posthumous title of Empress, not Emperor, so she did not have a temple title like other Emperors. Empress Wu also requested to be buried in Can Lang with her husband, Cao Tong Ly Tri, and erected on her grave an empty stele (called Wu Tu stele) with the intention that her merits would be attributed to the next life. judgment. Up to now, people have not been able to explain why an ambitious woman like Vo Tac Thien – who dared to destroy an illustrious dynasty and established his own dynasty – came to the last minute. Together, she returned to the status of a wife, requesting to be “buried” with her husband, Cao Tong. However, the family believes that one of the reasons why Vo Tac Thien chose Can Lang as his burial place is because of the extremely favorable terrain of this mausoleum. Can Lang was built on the top of Luong Son mountain, located 6km north of Thien Can district. This place is about 160 miles from Xi’an – the capital of the Tang Dynasty, forming a position corresponding to the mountain ranges of Cuu Tong, Kim Tuc, Ta Nga, Nghiao Son… Different from the location of Chieu Lang by Ly The Dan – the king himself. famous Tang Dynasty – self-selection, it is said, the location of Qianling was chosen in an extremely professional manner. The person who chose the location to build the Can Lang was the Thai historian Ly Thuan Phong – the mandarin responsible for yin and yang and astronomy of the Tang dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, there were many talented people, and there was no shortage of talented people in or in the palace. Ly Thuan Phong is one of those talents. The historian, surnamed Li, is one of the famous ancient Chinese astronomers and numerologists. He is also the one who left behind many works that today are considered by ancient Chinese researchers and astronomers as bedside textbooks. At the same time as Ly Thuan Phong, at that time there was another equally talented person called Vien Thien Canh. Like the Ly family, the Vien family is a master of yin and yang divination. It was Vien who helped Ly The Dan choose the location to build Chieu Lang. Contemporaries believed that Vien was a “divine man”, because almost nothing Vien predicted would go wrong. In modern terms, at that time, Ly Thuan Phong and Vien Thien Canh were considered as great intellectuals, the most powerful academic figures in the Tang dynasty. Ly Tri was originally the 9th son of Ly The Dan, born by Empress Truong Ton. In 649, when Ly Thua Can was deposed, Ly Tri ascended the throne, becoming Emperor Cao Tong. Not long after ascending the throne, according to the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, Ly Tri sent Ly Thuan Phong and Vien Thien Canh on their behalf to find a good place to build a grave. According to historical records, the Vien and Ly families have gone to many places but have not found a satisfactory location. It was not until one day, after Vien Thien Canh came to Quan Trung, observing the celestial object at the hour of the Rat, did he discover that a purple gas appeared on the mountain range straight up to the North Star. Purple gas appearing in the concept is a good omen. Following this purple aura, Vien Thien Canh found the location to build the present-day Can Lang. At that time, to mark, Vien Thien Canh buried a bronze coin in the ground. Coincidentally, after that, Ly Thuan Phong also came here. However, unlike Vien Thien Canh, the Ly family chose Luong Son due to careful analysis of the topography of this mountain. After studying the topography of Luong Son mountain, Ly Thuan Phong discovered that the two peaks to the east and west of Luong Son are opposite each other, so if viewed from afar, Luong Son mountain looks like a pair of breasts of Luong Son mountain. woman. If you look at it more broadly, the entire Liangshan area looks like a sleeping noble woman. After using the pieces of stone arranged into a bagua diagram to calculate, Ly Thuan Phong also determined the location of the mausoleum right where Vien Thien Canh had chosen. After receiving information from the Li and Vien surnames, Li Tri immediately sent his uncle Truong Ton Wuji to review it again before making a decision. According to historical records, when he arrived, Truong Ton Vo Ky couldn’t help but be surprised when the head of the iron stake that Ly Thuan Phong drove into the ground to mark was right in the square inside with the coin that Vien Thien Canh had buried. 2. Because Luong Son – the place where Can Lang was built – has a terrain very similar to a woman’s breasts, so the locals here also call Luong Son mountain Nai Dau Son. This mountain looks very majestic up close, but it is very low from afar. Vien Thien Canh believes that the yin here is heavier, so if you don’t calculate it carefully, the Ly family’s dragon vein will be damaged by a woman. The reason given by Vien Thien Canh seems to be very reasonable. Mount Luong Son is located to the west of Cuu Tong Mountain, while the Long Vein of Tang Dynasty is located to the East of Cuu Tong. Therefore, Vien believes that Chieu Lang – the place where Ly The Dan is buried – is the first part of the long vein of the Tang dynasty. According to the traditional concept, the site of construction of the mausoleum for Ly Tri must be under this “dragon head”. Thus, the most ideal grave location must be in the mountains of Kim Tuc, Ta Nga, and Nghia Son… However, now there is a woman sitting on top of the Ly men’s heads. In terms of topography, both sides of Luong Son are surrounded by water, which is a place of gas gathering, truly a prime location for . Contemporaries acknowledged this. It is said that the Luong Son range has been the “residual” part of the dragon vein since the Zhou Dynasty, so ordinary people who choose this land as a burial place can ensure three generations of wealth and prosperity. However, for the Tang dynasty, three generations were too short. Moreover, Luong Son’s great position did not respond to Chieu Lang’s, which was chosen by Ly The Dan. This unresponsiveness causes the king to be interrupted, lest he will be hindered after only three generations. Truong Ton Vo Ky and Ly Thuan Phong both said that this is a good land, once every thousand years, while Vien Thien Canh firmly asserted that this place was not suitable. Facing two completely opposite opinions, Ly Tri at that time did not know how to decide. At that time, Vo Tac Thien was Chieu Nghi, very happy to hear this. Vien Thien Canh once predicted that the Tang dynasty would be invaded by a woman surnamed Wu. Ly The Dan also for this reason killed many people surnamed Vo. Moreover, in the past, when the surname Vien was in the face of Vo Tac Thien, he said: “If it is not a woman, it will definitely be the ruler of the world”. So, isn’t the terrain of Luong Son in line with what Vien Thien Canh predicted? Thinking so, Vo Tac Thien tried to advise Ly Tri not to hesitate, listening to his words, Truong Ton Vo Ky. Ly Tri was inherently a weak person, so he was soon persuaded by Vo Tac Thien, the choice of the location to build the Can Lang was decided. It is said that, after knowing the story, Vien Thien Canh sighed and lamented: “The replacement of the Tang Dynasty is none other than Vo Chieu Nghi”. Vien’s words later certainly came to fruition. Although he did not listen to Vien Thien Canh’s words, the opinions of a “great master” like Vien also made Truong Ton Vo Ky and Ly Tri feel worried. Therefore, after the tomb was built, Ly Tri wanted to find a name very carefully to balance the shortcomings in the terrain of the tomb. At that time, a great minister proposed to name the mausoleum “Thua Lang”, with the intention of inheriting Chieu Lang’s dragon vein. However, Truong Ton Vo Ky based on the position of Luong Son is located in the Northwest, according to Dich, it belongs to the Can palace, so the proposal is named Can Lang. Didn’t Vien Thien Canh say that Luong Son’s yin was too heavy? Thus, naming it Can Lang is more reasonable because Qian is the yang, above, and below, yin, both combined are “Yin and yang are compatible with Qiankun”. Ly Tri listened to Truong Ton Vo Ky explain very well, so he decided to name the mausoleum Can Lang. However, giving the tomb a “positive” name did not help Ly Tri and the Tang dynasty to get rid of the “curse”. As expected, after Ly Tri died, Vo Tac Thien began to gradually acquire power in the court. In September 690, Wu Zetian officially ascended the throne, becoming the only Queen in the Chinese feudal system. It is believed that it was the terrain of Can Lang that helped Vo Tac Thien make such an illustrious career and that is why at the end of his life, Vo Tac Thien decided to be buried in Can Lang, not because he wanted to. buried with Cao Tong Ly Tri Street.

The paintings of thousands of years white clouds fly As one of the world’s largest religions, throughout history, Buddhism has left mankind with millions of magnificent works. Among them, the “thousands of years of white clouds flying” paintings always have a very special position. In the world, there can be names like the Four Great Buddhist Mountains of China, Rongbuk Monastery, Tibet or the mountains like Taktsang Palphug (Bhutan), Golden Stone Pagoda (Myanmar) or Huyen Khong Temple (Myanmar). China)… In Vietnam, the holiest temples often have a similar location. Typically in the North, there is Dong Yen Tu pagoda located in Truc Lam Yen Tu complex located on Yen Son peak with an altitude of 1,068 m above sea level. As the “holy land” of the Truc Lam Zen sect, Yen Tu’s pure and secluded space is an ideal place for Zen practitioners to attain the Way. Further south, Linh Son Tien Thach Tu on the slopes of Ba Den mountain in Tay Ninh – the roof of the South is also a destination not to be missed. The 300-year-old temple is associated with the legend of Ba Den’s epiphany not only naming the whole land but also associated with the local residents’ belief in worshiping the Holy Mother Linh Son. Spiritual complex on the top of Fansipan The most prominent is the spiritual complex of Fansipan on the roof of Indochina, with an altitude of more than 3,000 m above sea level. Including 12 works bearing bold architecture of the ancient Vietnamese temples of the North of the 15th-XVI centuries, the complex makes visitors feel like they are lost in a pure region. The Arhat Street was silent and majestic in the mist; The great compassionate Amitabha Buddha statue covers all worlds or amazing natural phenomena such as Buddha light, sea of ​​clouds … all make Fansipan a sacred and peaceful destination. Decoding the sacred circuit of the mountain According to researchers on history – culture, the reason why high monks often choose high mountains to build pagodas is rooted deeply in the original Buddhist beliefs. Accordingly, Theravada Buddhism inherently advocates “out of the world”. Those who go to practice are called monastics, which means letting go of everything that belongs to the world. Buddhism believes that: If you want to practice, the mind must be pure, if you want to be pure, the six senses (eyes, nose, ears, mouth, body and nerves) should not have too much contact with the world. Therefore, the ancients often chose deserted places, away from the temptations of dusty places to study to quickly attain enlightenment. From a feng shui point of view, the terrain on the mountain is one of the ideal places, with good feng shui, receiving a lot of energy from heaven and earth, converging spiritual energy, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere. If you build a pagoda next to the sacred gas gathering points, you will always get prosperity, the pagoda will be sacred and last for years. That is also the reason why the spiritual population on Fansipan peak is agreed by many feng shui researchers that: The peak of 3,143 m in Vietnam is one of the landmarks on the meridian line starting from the roof of the world to the top of the world. to the Gulf of Mindanao Philippines, converging in itself full of the quintessence, the spirit of heaven and earth. Venerable Thich Duc Thien, Secretary General of the Central Executive Council of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha also commented: Fansipan – the highest mountain in the thousands of thousands of mountains in the majestic Hoang Lien Son range, the great blood vessel of the country, the source of spiritual energy… Cultural and spiritual complex, including a system of pagodas such as Bao An Thien Tu , Bich Van Thien Tu, Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, Great Buddha Statue of Amitabha, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara… have enhanced the magical spiritual realm of the majestic Fansipan… continue to arouse abundant spiritual resources, bringing to the well-being of everyone and will further promote the development of Lao Cai “. Located on that “great vein”, each building in the complex has an almost perfect harmony with nature and is especially suitable for feng shui elements. Prominent as Kim Son Bao Thang Tu is designed to adhere to the mountain position, like a mountain. Seen from afar, the shape of the pagoda blends with the great blue color, hidden in the mist, as beautiful as a fairyland. Walking in the spiritual space and feeling the peace between heaven and earth in the place of the national bloodline, Fansipan peak is not only a tourist destination but also becomes an address to worship the sacred Buddha, a heritage for thousands of people. next life.

The prime location that allows to fully enjoy the beach and the changes at all times of the day from dawn, dusk to lights is the biggest emotion leading the architect when designing the project. The entire architecture of the cafe is focused on the sea in order to maximize the views and enhance the beauty of nature in the most vivid way. Balancing the needs of young people, the main target of the shop, and the advantages of the land, the design team has created a variety of seats, where every corner is a different scene, a different sky. The diverse shapes of the doorways are animatedly arranged on a simple block creating pleasing rhythms. Light, shadow, sea surface and green canopies become the main decoration materials of the building. The diverse shapes of the doorways are animatedly arranged on a simple block creating pleasing rhythms. Guests’ emotions are skillfully guided from the porch on the front steps to the windows through the floors and stop at the highest point – where the stairs “connect” between the sky and the sea. Accordingly, the views towards the sea also gradually expand, proportional to the high floors. With such an “extroverted” spirit, the interior of the restaurant simply focuses on comfort and convenience for users with a variety of stylish tables and chairs. Light, shadow, sea surface and green canopies become the main decoration materials of the building. Right in front of the shop is a long-standing beach of local people, bustling in the morning and afternoon, putting the work in a familiar context and rhythm of the coastal city.

As one of the world’s largest religions, throughout history, Buddhism has left mankind with millions of magnificent works. Among them, the “thousands of years of white clouds flying” paintings always have a very special position. In the world, we can mention the four great Buddhist famous mountains of China. These are the four sacred mountains where many unique spiritual populations are concentrated. For example, the Marble Mountains in the Shanxi province of this country. With an altitude of 3058m, Ngu Dai Son is known as the “World’s Thanh Luong” by the followers as it has witnessed the development of Buddhism during the past two millennia. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, monks from all over Asia have often come here on pilgrimage to offer incense. Wutaishan – China In Tibet, the most famous is Rongbuk Monastery – the monastery located at the highest altitude in the world. With an altitude of 5,000m above sea level, this is also one of the holiest destinations for Tantric Buddhists. Other famous pagodas can be mentioned as Taktsang Palphug (Bhutan), Golden Stone Pagoda (Myanmar) or Huyen Khong Tu (China). In Vietnam, the holiest temples often have a similar location. Typically in the North, there is Dong Yen Tu pagoda located in Truc Lam Yen Tu complex located on Yen Son peak with an altitude of 1068m above sea level. This is the place where the spiritual energy of Bach Van Son converges, so the clouds are rolling all year round. As the “holy land” of the Truc Lam Zen sect, Yen Tu’s pure and secluded space is an ideal place for Zen practitioners to attain the Way. Further south, Linh Son Tien Thach Tu on the slopes of Ba Den mountain in Tay Ninh – the roof of the South is also a destination not to be missed. The 300-year-old pagoda is associated with the legend of Ba Den’s epiphany not only naming the whole land but also associated with the local residents’ belief in worshiping the Holy Mother Linh Son. Spiritual complex on the top of Fansipan The most prominent is the spiritual complex of Fansipan on the roof of Indochina, with an altitude of more than 3000m above sea level. Including 12 works bearing bold architecture of ancient Vietnamese temples in the North of Vietnam in the 15th and 16th centuries, the complex makes visitors feel like they are lost in a pure region. The Arhat path is solemnly silent in the mist; The great compassionate Amitabha Buddha statue covers all worlds or amazing natural phenomena such as Buddha light, sea of ​​clouds … all make Fansipan a sacred and peaceful destination. Decoding the sacred circuit of the mountain According to researchers of history – culture, the reason why high monks often choose high mountains to build pagodas is rooted deeply in the original Buddhist beliefs. Accordingly, Theravada Buddhism inherently advocates “out of the world”. Those who go to practice are called monastics, which means letting go of everything that belongs to the world. Buddhism believes that: If you want to practice, the mind must be pure, if you want to be pure, the six senses (eyes, nose, ears, mouth, body and nerves) should not have too much contact with the world. Therefore, the ancients often chose deserted places, away from the temptation of dusty places to practice and learn to quickly achieve Enlightenment. Fansipan peak is considered the place Full convergence of the quintessence and spirit of heaven and earth From a feng shui point of view, the terrain on the mountain is one of the ideal places, with good feng shui, receiving a lot of energy from heaven and earth, converging spiritual energy, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere. If you build a pagoda next to the sacred gas gathering points, you will always get prosperity, the pagoda will be sacred and last for years. That is also the reason why the spiritual population on Fansipan peak is agreed by many feng shui researchers that: The peak of 3143m in Vietnam is one of the landmarks on the meridian line starting from the roof of the world to the end of the world. Mindanao Bay Philippines, full of the quintessence, the spirit of heaven and earth. Most Venerable Thich Duc Thien, General Secretary of the Central Executive Council of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha also commented: Fansipan – the highest mountain in the thousands of thousands of mountains in the majestic Hoang Lien Son range, the great blood vessel of the nation, the source of spiritual energy… Cultural and spiritual complex, including a system of pagodas such as Bao An Thien Tu , Bich Van Thien Tu, Kim Son Bao Thang Tu, Great Buddha Statue of Amitabha, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara… have enhanced the magical spiritual realm of the majestic Fansipan… continue to arouse abundant spiritual resources, bringing to the well-being of everyone and will further promote the development of Lao Cai “. Fansipan spiritual complex in snowy season Located on that “great vein”, each building in the complex has an almost perfect harmony with nature and is especially suitable for feng shui elements. The pagoda was built on a superficial surface, but most of the work items are of limited size to suit the landscape and terrain of the high mountains, and at the same time, create a harmonious landscape architectural complex. . Prominent as Kim Son Bao Thang Tu is designed to adhere to the mountain position, like a mountain. The temple is therefore like a part of the natural landscape available at this place. Seen from afar, the shape of the pagoda blends with the great blue color, hidden in the mist, as beautiful as a fairyland. Today, when reaching the top of Fansipan, visitors will not only conquer the roof of Indochina but also get lost in the sacred spiritual domain. There, it seems that all the dust and dirt has stopped outside the meditation door, only the joys of joy, the sincerity of many tourists and Buddhist followers from the ten directions come here to worship. , pay homage. The moment Buddha’s light appeared at the Great Amitabha Buddha statue on the top of Fansipan Walking in the spiritual space and feeling the peace between heaven and earth in the place of the national bloodline, Fansipan peak is not only a tourist destination but also becomes an address to worship the sacred Buddha, a heritage for thousands of people. next life.

House of Rock in the Netherlands was completed in 2016, with a total area of ​​600m2. The house is built on the grass dunes, river sand is very rare in the housing architecture because the terrain is not flat. However, this will be one of the model architectures when people run out of land resources to build houses. Different from the rough appearance, the interior of the house is very modern, simple but bright. The house meets the needs of guests is spacious, light-filled space with modern and comfortable furniture. This is a design in a project called Westlandse Zoom – a house building on a grassy dune in the south of the Netherlands. Although the interior and architecture do not use stone as the main material, the house is still called House of Rock because if viewed from above, it will very much like a stone. The architects minimized the walls separating the rooms for more space. The dining room is connected to the kitchen and living room. Details in the interior are made very meticulously. With the main design of gray and white tones, the house is decorated with many colorful pictures to make accents. The rustic architecture makes the house friendly and closer to the user. There are plenty of ceiling doors for light to enter the house. The porch of the house is quite simple. To ensure privacy, there are also many wooden stakes around the house. The house does not use the normal triangle roof, but has walls up to 6m high with glass doors to block wind and dust.

Living in a house like this doesn’t make any money or money. If your house accidentally commits 1 out of 3, don’t worry too much. Feng shui expert Phung Phuong advises everyone to pay close attention to the feng-shui gods that hinder the prosperity of their family. Wind Referring to the wind means referring to the wind source around the house that is living. If there is a strong wind around the house, it is easy to form “toxic wind”. Such houses are usually located in areas where there is a gust of wind, the amount of wind that penetrates the house will be much. Therefore, even if it is a place with good gas-gathering terrain, it will cause the people of luck to be inferior and costly. The evil spirit knocked on the door Too many doors is not good. Gate evil mainly consists of two types: 1 is a house with many doors, and 2 is the door facing each other. Whether it is the first or the second, in terms of feng shui, it is not a good thing. The first is the type of house with many doors, that is, only one house, but the front and back are designed with many doors. Such a house layout is not conducive to keeping the wind, condensing air, but easily leads to wasting money. The second type is the interior of the house with opposite doors such as the main door, the bedroom door, the bathroom door, and the kitchen door. Thus, it is easy to form evil qi and lose the family’s fortune. How to neutralize: Use Quartz or Five-Base Coins to purify the energy-stable atmosphere to have air sand to support the campaign. Corner house The house with a missing corner has a very bad effect on the homeowner. Depending on the age, there will be different bad luck angles. A house is also like our pocket, if the wallet has a hole, no matter how much money inside it will be lost. The way to neutralize: Use Bhikkhu or Mr. Quan Gia to gather wealth to protect the “wealth” for his family. * Information is for reference only.

Surrounding the house is a garden with many types of trees: safflower, cinnamon, peach, pear, flowers … The unique feature of the mansion lies in the structure and layout of the rooms. The mansion is like a solid fortress, with thick walls, built of green stone, terracotta tiles and wooden furniture in the rows of stone pine. The owner of the house is Mr. Vuong Chinh Duc (1865 – 1947).

In this regard, Deng Ai adopted a roundabout strategy. When the main forces of the Wei and Shu armies were confronting Jiange, they led their elite troops to bypass Yinping (now northwest of Wenxian County, Gansu), and crossed more than 700 miles of uninhabited areas to dig mountains. Open the road, surprise Jiangyou (now Jiangyou North, Sichuan). In the hinterland of the Shuhan, Mianzhu broke Zhugezhan, captured Fucheng (now Mianyang, Sichuan), and advanced to Chengdu. The latter master Liu Chan surrendered to the Wei army because of Deng Aibing approaching the city. In November 263, the Shuhan officially perished, beginning the prelude to the end of the Three Kingdoms era. From this, it is very obvious that looking back at the battle between Wei and Shu, Deng Ai smuggled into Yinping, which can be called an important step in breaking the deadlock. So, the question is, where is the Yinping that Deng Ai smuggled into today? How dangerous is the terrain?

One

First of all, the Yinping in the Three Kingdoms period was mainly in Wenxian County, Longnan City, Gansu Province. Wenxian County, belonging to Longnan City, Gansu Province, is named after the ancient Wenzhou language. It is located at the southernmost tip of Gansu Province, at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi Provinces. It is located in the Qinba Mountains and is the southern gate of Gansu. Wenxian County is located in the West Qinling Mountains and the South Qinling Mountains. It is an area with strong neotectonic movement. The geological structure is complex, the surface is undulating, the rock is bare, and the gullies are developed. The whole area is the landform types of middle and high mountains and river valleys.

As a result, to this day, Wenxian County also has an important geographical location because it is located at the junction of the three provinces of Gansu, Sichuan, and Shaanxi. In the period of the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty, Wenxian County was located at the junction of Shuhan and Cao Wei, which can also be said to be a battleground for military strategists.

Yinping is also known as the Yinping Ancient Road. As early as the sixth year of Emperor Han Gaozu (201 BC), the Western Han Dynasty established Yinping Road in the area, which belonged to Guanghan County. In the second year of Emperor Yongchu of Han’an (108), he changed the captain of the northern Guanghan to the captain of the Guanghan vassal state and ruled Yinpingdao. In the 20th year of Jian’an (215 years), after Cao Cao captured the land of Hanzhong, Guanghan was changed to Yinping County. Therefore, for Yinping County, it was once the territory of Cao Wei.

In the spring of the seventh year of Jianxing (229 years), Zhuge Liang sent Chen’s style to attack Wudu (now Chengxian County, Gansu Province) and Yinping (now Wenxian County, Gansu Province) two counties. Guo Huai, the governor of Yongzhou, led troops to rescue him. Liang Zi went to Jianwei (now west of Xihe County, Gansu Province), and Guo Huai retired, and he was given the second county. Thus, starting in 229 AD, Yinping County became the territory of the Shuhan. For Yinping County, it naturally includes the Yinping Ancient Road.

The office of Yinping County is located in the northwest of Wenxian County, Gansu Province (Guyiba). The Yinping Ancient Road passes through Wenxian County, then passes through Motianling in Qingshan County, and then passes through Tangjiahe, Yinpingshan, Mazhuanguan, Jingjunshan in turn, and finally reaches Jiangyouguan (Nanba Township) in Pingwu County. Among them, as far as Jiangyouguan is concerned, the Shuhan is guarded by someone, and this person is Ma Miao. According to the “Three Kingdoms” and other historical records, Ma Miao (birth and death year unknown), Shuhan Jiangyouguan guard.

In the sixth year of Jingyao (263 years), Sima Zhao sent a large-scale attack on Shuhan, Deng Ai led his army to smuggle to Yinping, and dispatched Tian Zhang to attack Jiangyou (now southeast of Pingwu, Sichuan). Ma Miao led his army to ambush Tian Zhang, but he was defeated by Tian Zhang and then surrendered. In this regard, in my opinion, if Ma Miao can hold Jiangyou Pass, the army led by Deng Ai will undoubtedly be trapped on the Yinping Ancient Road. However, it is probably because Ma Miao has not fought for a long time. Facing the sudden Deng Ai, he could not resist at all, and finally surrendered to Cao Wei.

Furthermore, considering that the Yinping Ancient Road is relatively long and the road is difficult and dangerous, Deng Ai was already exhausted after smuggling into Yinping, and even died nine years ago. According to the introduction, the Yinping Ancient Road is about 265 kilometers in length, which was already a relatively long old road in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty.

According to historical records such as “Three Kingdoms”, the total length of the Yinping Ancient Road is 700 li, while the ancients took 360 steps as one li. The current one Huali is approximately equal to 1.33 li in the Three Kingdoms period, which coincides with the measurement of the ancients. The Yinping Ancient Road is rugged and long. Apart from walking by the locals, it is basically a war demand. For example, after Deng Ai, Fu Youde, a general of the Ming Dynasty, also led his army through this place.

Regarding the Yinping Ancient Road, Chen Shou recorded this in “Three Kingdoms”:

In winter in October, Ai Ziyin flat road travels seven hundred miles in no man’s land, chiseling mountain passages and building bridge pavilions. The mountains are high and the valleys are deep, the most difficult and dangerous, and the food transportation will be scarce, and they are endangered.

In October 263 AD, Deng Ai led an army of 30,000 yuan and set off from Yinping Road. From Yinping to Jiangyou, the mountains are dangerous and inaccessible, so the Shu Han did not fortify here. Deng Ai’s army climbed the trail all the way, digging through the mountains and creating the bridge pavilion. From this, it is very obvious that for Deng Ai’s 30,000 army, not only need to advance on the rugged mountain roads, but also undertake the work of excavating mountain roads and even building bridges. This also highlights the ruggedness of the Yinping Ancient Road from another angle. In other words, we often say that the road of Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the sky. However, for Shu Road, after all, there is still a passable plank road. However, for the Yinping Ancient Road, there is no plank road that has been repaired beforehand, which requires Deng Ai to start from scratch.

At that time, for Deng Ai, “the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, which is extremely difficult and dangerous. Moreover, the food transportation will be scarce and frequent danger.” Facing the dangerous place where there is no way to clear the way, Deng Ai took the lead, “wrapped in felt, pushed down, and soldiers all climbed the wood edge cliff and filed forward.” After passing through more than 700 miles of desolate and uninhabited land and overcoming all kinds of unimaginable difficulties, the army of Wei finally passed the insidious and dangerous road to Jiangyou.

four

Finally, in the author’s opinion, this means that Deng Ai’s 30,000 army may have suffered heavy losses when passing the Yinping Ancient Road. As for the soldiers who did not lose their lives, they were probably scarred. Moreover, in order to meet the supply of food and grass for the army, Deng Ai’s 30,000 army also needs to carry ration ropes, leaving 3,000 people to camp for every one hundred miles. Because of the difficult and dangerous roads and the inadequate transportation of grain, the army of the State of Wei has been in trouble many times.

On this basis, there are relics left by Deng Ai along the Yinping Ancient Road, such as Deng Ai’s whetstone, the place where soldiers used soil for shaking their shoes when they rest-Xietu Mountain, Yinhe Mountain stamped by Deng Ai, and those who lost their clothes. Luoyigou and so on. To a certain extent, without Deng Ai’s smuggling of Yinping, the place name Yinping would not have such a high degree of attention and popularity. Since Deng Ai opened up the Yinping Road, this place has become a battleground for ancient military strategists. Above the Motianling is the Confucian Temple of Zhuge Liang, which has collapsed due to disrepair for a long time, leaving only broken walls.

Returning to the battle between Wei and Shu, after Jiangyou fell, Liu Chan sent Wei general Zhuge Zhan (the son of Zhuge Liang) to resist Deng Ai. Zhuge Zhan’s subordinate Huang Chong advised: “It is advisable to travel quickly and take risks, and no enemy can get into the flat ground.” Zhuge Zhan hesitated and was taken dangerously by Deng Ai. Governor Zhugezhan went to Fucheng and fought with Wei Jun. Deng Ai defeated Zhugezhan striker, and Zhugezhan was forced to retreat to Mianzhu. In the end, in the battle of Mianzhu, Zhuge Zhan and other Shu Han generals were killed, which led to Deng Ai’s army coming to Chengdu. In this regard, in the author’s opinion, Deng Ai’s army is undoubtedly a tired teacher after passing through the dangerous Yinping Ancient Road. However, Deng Ai was still able to continue to pass the battle and approach Chengdu. This is undoubtedly an important reason why Deng Ai was able to become a top-level general in the Three Kingdoms and even in ancient times.

Photographs on Mars taken by a rover vehicle called Perseverance have stirred the Internet community since NASA’s latest robotic technology landed on the “Red Planet” in February 2018. Despite being two different planets, Earth and Mars still have similarities. Some pictures on Mars look quite similar to those of Earth’s Atacama Desert, Chile. NASA has spent time and money exploring this Mars-like land. NASA’s ARADS team is experimenting with the original rover on Mars in the Atacama Desert in Chile in 2018. Photo: NASA. “You can argue that the Dry Valleys Valley in Antarctica or the northern central Atacama is the hottest place on Earth. However, some places in Atacama only rain every 20 years, even 100 years later, “said Brian Glass, a researcher at Atacama Rover (ARADS). This research uses the Atacama Desert to test field tools and techniques for future missions to Mars. Because the Atacama Desert resembles a dead and deserted land, NASA investigated and found it almost a “copy” of Mars. They have been testing rovers since 1997. The newest rover uses original tools, they try to find and detect life here. “Because if you can’t find life in one of the bariest places on Earth, don’t think about going to Mars looking for it,” explained Glass. The Atacama Desert stretches for more than 1,600 km in the northern half of Chile between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes mountains. Glass says that to know how barren places like the Atacama Desert are, think about organic cues (such as life) to ambient noise. “The signal in the Mojave desert and remote parts of the US is still quite loud. You can still see shrubs, cacti, microorganisms, scorpions, insects; there is still an ecosystem there, ”said investigator Glass. Like Mars, the Atacama Desert has a harsh terrain with vast salt flats and towering volcanoes, including the most active mountain on Earth. Here, the night sky is very dark and has the largest astronomical observatories in the world. NASA investigated and found that this place is almost a “copy” of Mars. Photo: Mark Johanson. The driest place on Earth When scientists say Atacama is the driest place on Earth, they are referring to Yungay town. This town is about 88 km from the city of Antofagasta, NASA is doing research in this area. According to Mr. Glass, Yungay is a long valley with both sides of the hill being eroded by the wind. Land in Yungay is brown and quite barren, with no signs of life. In Yungay town there is a hand-carved statue of nearly 11 meters high. This statue, called Mano del Desierto, was placed near the town by Chilean artist Mario Irarrázabal in 1992. Although Yungay has long been considered the driest place in Atacama, recent research indicates that the title actually belongs to the Maria Elena South region, located about 273 km north of the nitrate mining town. Neither site has any facilities or attractions, but they are key points to the Atacama’s “emptiness” and similarities with Mars. Furthermore, because the McMurdo Dry Valleys Valley in Antarctica is particularly hard to reach, many scientists believe the valley is even drier. A hand-shaped sculpture of nearly 11 meters high is called the Mano del Desierto. Volcanoes and geysers While Mars is the “home” of the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, the Atacama Desert contains the most active volcano on Earth, the Ojos del Salado. This gray-brown mountain is about 7,000 meters above sea level and is the second highest peak in the western hemisphere after Aconcagua in Argentina. However, this mountain’s permanent crater lake is said to be the tallest lake in the world. “When you look at this impressive mountain range, surrounded by volcanoes over 6,000 meters high, you will find yourself very small,” said Ercio Mettifogo, the adventure tour manager Puna de Atacama. To climb the top of Ojos del Salado, climbers do not need a lot of climbing techniques, although the altitude of the mountain is not small, but strong winds on the mountain up to 119 km / h and -29 degrees Celsius is definitely a challenge for surname. Most trekking takes place between November and April, the climbing period lasts 8 days for the climbers and 12 days for the amateur climbers. According to Mr. Mettifogo, Atacama Altiplano is often compared to the Tibetan plateau. The area near Mount Ojos del Salado, home to about 17 mountains over 6,000 meters high, has become a hub for adventure tourism. Farther north, near the tourist town of San Pedro de Atacama, another geothermal wonder of Atacama is the El Tatio geyser, dubbed the Yellowstone mini national park with 80 geysers of geysers that boil and smoke. raised suspicion. In the panorama of snow-capped volcanoes, El Tatio is the widest geyser region in the southern hemisphere and the tallest on Earth at 4,300 m altitude. El Tatio geysers are known as Yellowstone mini national park with 80 geysers of geysers boiling and smoke rising. Photo: Shutterstock. Salt beach and flamingos Much of the Atacama desert is barren like on Mars, but this land stands out with its beautiful salt-shoals, known as salares , with saltwater currents nourishing the life of a number of animals, including flamingos. There are many species of flamingos, including the rare Andes with yellow feet and black point wings, the smaller James flamingo with brick red feet and a bright yellow beak. In addition, the pinkest flamingo of all species is the Chilean flamingo. Chilean flamingos live in popularity along South America, stretching from Argentina to Ecuador. Pink-colored birds are easily found in Andes parks such as Los Flamencos National Reserve, near San Pedro and Nevado Tres Cruces National Park, near the city of Copiapó. “The salt beaches are also famous for the colorful lagoons,” said Gabriel Rojas of Turismo Atacamensis, guide taking tourists swimming in the turquoise lagoon in Salar de Pedernales, north of Nevado Tres Cruces National Park . There are also blood red, navy and emerald green pools in Pedernales, all connected on a three kilometer walking trail. Some scientists believe that, if humans do find signs of life on Mars, it would be historic salt ponds that formed in places like the Gale Crater and are believed to resemble what is found in the Altiplano of South America.

The clearest sky in the world The Atacama Desert is not only NASA’s test site for future Mars missions, but also where some of the most advanced planetary observations have been made on Earth. Northern Chile is home to about 70% of the facilities for Astronomy worldwide. The biggest projects in the 2020s including the Giant Magellan Telescope and the Extremely Large Telescope will all be set on bare hills over the next few years. “When night falls, silence and darkness will take over, it is unaffected by the lights and noise of the city, the place will turn into a path to heaven that makes you feel like can touch the universe, ”said Cristóbal Vergara, founder of Turismo Tembeta, a company that manages stargazing tours from the city of La Serena. The Elqui Valley, located on the southern edge of the Atacama Desert, has become a major center not only for scientists but also for stargazing lovers. “Along the mountains there is still mist from the Pacific Ocean, forming a few small clouds and making the sky clear,” Vergara added. To cater to your stargazing needs, there are nearly a dozen observatories near the Vicunã tourist center that are open daily for tourists wishing to see the stars in the hope of being able to get a closer look at Jackson Pollock’s sky. Many research facilities such as the Gemini South, Cerro Tololo, La Silla and Las Campanas are also open on weekends for visitors to visit. In 2015, the Elqui valley was named the world’s first International Night Sky Mecca. Thanks to that, the inns have transparent comfort to watch the stars begin to sprout like mushrooms, visitors can comfortably sleep under a starry sky.

Mr. Vergara said that the best part about stargazing here is that visitors are staring at “a place with great discoveries, technological advances and new astronomical discoveries that can help the future. hybrid of humanity ”. Atacama may not be as cold, harsh, or “alien” as Mars, but this land shows a “clone” of Mars right on Earth. Coming here to visit helps visitors to experience the feeling of traveling on Mars.
