The orchard under Helan Mountain has become famous, and it was once famous in the north and south of the Yangtze River. "When the Tang Dynasty poet Wei Chan wrote these two lines a thousand years ago, his eyes on Ningxia and Helan Mountain were not only filled with the solemnity of gold and iron horses, but also the abundance of fragrant orchards. A thousand years later, amidst the prosperity and liveliness of the Helan 3.0 version, people suddenly discovered that Ningxia, beneath the thick armor of the millennium, still had gentle faces obscured by historical smoke and dust. Complete the complete "puzzle" of millennium history. In the past, when people mentioned ancient Ningxia and Helan Mountain, their first reaction was "borderlands" and "battlefields". But the 3.0 version of "Governor's Night Banquet," "Ten Thousand Prayers," and the ancient Lingzhou market have precisely uncovered the other half that has been obscured by history. ”Shen Keni, one of the first experts in the national defense education teacher pool, said bluntly. 45 years ago, Shen Keni published an article titled "The Origin of the Name Helan Mountain", in which he believed that the word "Helan" originated from the Helan tribe of the Xiongnu and later merged into the Xianbei tribe. The name of this mountain itself is a history of ethnic communication and development - the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Tubo, Mongolia... almost all northern ethnic minorities have stationed here for grazing. In Shen Keni's view, the coldness of war and the warmth of peace have always been intertwined in the history of Ningxia. Opening historical records, Helan Mountain is often a place of 'fierce warfare and danger'. However, this does not mean there is no peace - during the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Han families were divided, and during the Ming Dynasty, 'more than forty years of borderless warfare' was achieved. Along the Great Wall in the Yinchuan Plain, there were permanent 'monopoly fields' managed by the government, which were important places for material exchange between the Central Plains and northern nomadic peoples. ”He specifically quoted a poem by Wei Chan: 'The orchard under Helan Mountain is formed, and the old name of the north and south of the Yangtze River is famous. The water, trees, thousands of households, and vermilion trees are hidden, and the bow and knife of a thousand riders and iron clothes are ringing.' The first two sentences describe the orchard and prosperity, and the last two sentences describe the bow and knife. In the past, we emphasized the war nature of Helan Mountain too much, and seeing Helan 3.0 present the scene of Ningxia in ancient times of peace through interpretation, it perfectly complements this puzzle. Nowadays, in the replicated ancient Lingzhou market and border post stations, tourists can personally participate in the trading scene of the Silk Road - exchanging tea and silk from the Central Plains for horses and felt from the 'Western Regions', and feel the prosperous atmosphere of the' essential demand mutual market 'back then. This immersive experience turned the few words in history books into tangible and vivid memories. Let the diverse and symbiotic history come to life. Regarding the major plays and performance scenes in version 3.0, Shen Keni believes that although these scenes are artistic creations, they have a solid historical logic. The Helan Mountain in history was not only a military passage, but also an important commercial route. ”Shen Keni introduced that in the Qing Dynasty, there were three main commercial routes passing through Helan Mountain. Where there were commercial routes, there were Hu merchants, and where there were Hu merchants, there were wine shops. This was a historical inevitability. As for the coexistence of multi-ethnic rituals, Shen Keni believes that this is precisely the charm of Helan Mountain: "In history, Helan Mountain had multiple religious beliefs coexisting, and each ethnic group prayed for blessings without interfering with each other. This diverse landscape is difficult to see elsewhere." According to the project team, the upgraded "Ten Thousand Blessings" is based on Helan Mountain's millennium faith, transforming prayer activities into tangible cultural experiences; The Night Banquet of the Governor replicates the prosperous scenery of the Silk Road during the Tang Dynasty. If 'Seeing Helan' continues to upgrade, which cultural IPs are worth developing? Shen Keni gave his suggestion: "Firstly, promote the culture of commerce and trade. The salt transportation scale in Alxa during the Qing Dynasty was very large, and the routes, stations, and sales network of the salt camel caravan could be fully immersive. Secondly, deeply explore the military defense system of the Ming Dynasty. The Great Wall, beacon towers, and war walls in Helan Mountain are all excellent cultural heritage. I also discovered a chessboard carved on stone at the northern fork of Helan Mountain, which is the 'leisure life' of border soldiers. These details are good materials for cultural and tourism development. "Seeing Helan 3.0: More about the relationship between artistic creation and historical reality in Helan Mountain, Shen Keni's attitude is open:" I am not opposed to creative presentation. Without fiction, there would be no Mu Guiying or 'Yang Family Generals'. As long as the historical context is not distorted, literary creation can be freely expressed From the frontier battlefield to the Hu merchants' taverns, from the cold military battles to the prayers of thousands of soldiers, 'Seeing Helan 3.0' is doing one thing: to make Ningxia, a hot land, and Helan Mountain, a millennium old fortress, take off their armor, revealing their rich faces as' national corridors', 'commercial hubs', and' spiritual totems'. Shen Keni believes that the significance of this upgrade lies not only in the innovation of performing arts forms, but also in the transformation of historical narrative perspectives. In the past, when we looked at the Helan Mountains in history, our eyes were filled with the shadows of swords and knives. During the Ming Dynasty, Ningxia was a key town in the "Nine Borders" region, with more than 50 mountain passes guarded and over 500 beacon towers arranged along the Helan Mountains. These are certainly history, but not all of them. 'Seeing Helan 3.0' presents the historical Helan Mountains and the warm side of Ningxia, which is very important. ”He emphasized that the core of cultural tourism integration is not to create excitement, but to create a genuine connection between people and history. 'Seeing Helan 3.0' does not oppose war and peace, but rather allows them to be present simultaneously. After watching the prosperity of 'Governor's Night Banquet' and thinking about those beacon towers, people will truly understand why peace is precious, why mutual trade is important, and why multiple ethnic groups need each other.
