Motuo, also known as Baimagang, is one of the most mysterious places in Tibet. The famous religious classics in Tibet are called: The Buddha’s Pure Land, Baimagang, is the most extraordinary among the holy lands.
These holy places worshipped by believers sow infinite temptations on the hearts of many Tibetans. The Menba people and Luoba people in Motuo said that the place they live is Baiyuguibu Baimagang, which means a hidden holy place like lotus. In Buddhist concepts, lotus is a symbol of auspiciousness.
This religious mystery of Motuo directly penetrated into the hearts of the Menba people.
I remember a religious painter of the Medog Menba tribe named Quni once vividly said: the terrain of Modog looks like the holy body of the goddess Dojipam lying on the slope, standing on the white clouds on the corner of the Yarlung Zangbo River, which is surrounded by white clouds and difficult to see the charm, is the goddess's handsome face; the dense forests and gentle fertile soil in the east are her soft abdomen; the Yangsang River Basin, which is full of bamboos and blue rivers, is her. In short, the mountains and rivers of Modog are all part of the goddess' body.
Donila's vivid statement made us outsiders deeply feel that Motuo is a mysterious place. No wonder there are many holy places for believers to worship, including the Yangsang River, the Budachebo Snow Peak and the Gongduipan.
The clear and sweet Yangsang River.
The Yangsang River is located in the southern part of Medog and is a river that flows from east to west into the Yarlung Zangbo River.
It was once the county seat of Galangyangzong established by King Bomi, which specialized in managing the administrative affairs of the Luoba people, and is now an Indian-occupied area.
According to the people of Motuo, since it is a goddess there, the river water is actually her urine. The water is particularly beautiful, clear and blue, with a slightly sweet taste, and is known as the Milk River.
Next to this graceful river, there is a huge rock called Jiaqiu, which looks like a mighty rooster.
Whenever night falls, it often makes a sound of oh, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland; in the green forest around this huge rock, the singing of birds is particularly pleasant; sometimes the crisp and gentle sound of birds seems to be calling the names of the gods, calling on the coming of the gods to bless the worshipers from afar.
It is these wonderful legends that attract believers from the Tibetan region to worship here.
These devout pilgrims believe that if a person comes to worship here once in his lifetime, he can ensure happiness and peace in this life, and his soul will ascend to heaven after death.
If a devout believer encounters an unexpected accident while worshiping the holy land, he or she should pray silently in the direction of Yangsang River while he or she is dying, so as to fulfill his life's wish.
Budachepo, another famous holy land in Medog, is located among the majestic snow peaks in the northwest of the county.
There are many low stone mountains around the snow peak, shaped like a list of dogs, horses, cattle and sheep, either kneeling or standing, with their heads facing the sacred mountain, just like offerings offered.
Below the Budachebo Snow Mountain, there is a huge cave with undercurrents and gurgling sounds.
The undercurrents are white soil on both sides, with a fragrant smell.
It is said that on this fragrant soil, some lucky pilgrims can see the footprints left by the fairy child or hear their laughter, and of course they cannot see the shadow of the fairy child.
At this time, people will throw food, coins and decorative items into the river as sacrifices and ask God for blessing.
All pilgrims who come here will take the white soil from this place and bring it back to their hometown to give it to relatives and friends to avoid evil and disasters.
The mystery of religion attracts many good men and women, and the unique natural and cultural landscapes here have become a treasure land for people across the country and even the world to yearn for exploration and adventure.
The world-famous Yarlung Zangbo River winds for thousands of miles, like a docile girl. When she flows to Milinpai Village, she turns into a rushing dragon. After breaking through the layers of blockages of two large snow peaks, Nangabawa and Ragabailei, she turns to the south and whistles south, forming an unparalleled horseshoe-shaped turning wonder, which runs across the entire Medog area and reaches the Assam Plain in India. Due to the ever-changing efforts of the Yarlung Zangbo River, it has created a north-south Grand Canyon, which opens the door to the huge barrier of the strong Indian Ocean monsoon through the Himalayas, forming a unique climate and natural landscape of the Tibetan Plateau.
Liu Zanting, the leader of the Qing army who came here in Dingbian, Anguo, was deeply touched by this and said to Motuo: The forest is filled with thousands of miles, flowers and trees are everywhere, and vines are bridges, which is truly a peach garden outside the world...
A subtropical rainforest in the alpine canyon here is given a brief description.
By the 1930s, British botanist Hua Jindong also sneaked into Modo to explore the valley and discovered a magnificent waterfall on the river surface of the White Horse Bear area. Every time the sun and blue sky, the waterfalls evaporate, forming countless seven-colored clouds, so it is called the Hongxia Waterfall. In the era, the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted many large-scale investigations on Modo, and conducted comprehensive research on the local natural ecology with rich first-hand data and scientific data, and obtained many important discoveries. The Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon ranks first in the world in terms of depth or length.
Medog County belongs to the subtropical humid climate zone on the eastern side of the Himalayas. It is like spring all year round and rainy. The Yarlung Zangbo River enters the Linzhi area from Lang County. It faces the Himalayas blocking in Milin County. It is forced to turn north and revolve around Nangabawa Peak in a strange horseshoe-shaped circle. It runs south from the foot of Nangabawa Peak in Medog County, and injects into the Indian Ocean through India.
Hydraulic resources are extremely rich. Just at the turn of the Yarlung Zangbo River, the water energy accounts for two-thirds of the total water energy of the Yarlung Zangbo River and one-tenth of the national water energy storage.
The Menba people began to move to Motuo from Menyu and Mainland. The earliest ones arrived were twelve generations, and the latest immigrants were eight generations.
With the increase of the population of Menba, about the second half of the 19th century, there was a dispute between the Menba and Luoba people over land disputes and hunting grounds, and an armed fight occurred.
The Pomi Tu King (the Pomi Tu King, which was said to be the Tubo Chigong Zanpu, was murdered by Minister Luo Ang, his son Jiachi fled to the Bobu area and Gongbu area and established himself as king. Bomi established the power to separatist the country for more than a thousand years) with the high mountains and long roads, he continued to expand his power. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Menba tribes and Luoba tribes fighting, he successively established Didongzong and Galangyangzong in the Medog area, and expanded his power to Xialuoyu area, and then ruled the Medog and the Grand Canyon area.
The Qing government sent troops to assist the Tibetan local government in clearing out the local king of Bomi. King Bomi surrendered repeatedly and betrayed repeatedly.Relying on his own risky land and strong people, he went out of his nest to rob and burn and kill serious cases. By the 1920s and 1930s, the Tibetan local government sent troops to conquer and defeated King Bomi, completely eliminating the power of King Bomi, and Modog was directly under the jurisdiction of the Tibetan government.
Later, the Tibetan local government gave Didongzong to the management of Sera Monastery, which made contributions during the eradication of the Bomi Tu King; the Bangxin and Galasa areas were assigned to the fiefdom of the Qingduo Temple, and the Jinzhu area was designated as the fiefdom of Songguo Temple.
Before the reign of the Bomi Tu King, the Medogmenba people were in the primitive social stage and the land was natural possession.After the founding of the Emperor of Bomi, the arable land was cleaned and adjusted to ensure the source of the government's tax.
On August 15, 1950, a magnitude 8:50 earthquake occurred in Motuo County.
The earthquake caused landslides, landslides and mudslides. The Medog land was beyond recognition. On tens of thousands of square kilometers of ground, an average of one square meter of material was involved in the slippage.
During this earthquake, about 4,000 people died in China and India.
Renqin Beng Temple: It is the largest temple in Modog, located on the Zemala Mountain in the south of Modog Village.
The temple was built shortly after the relocation of Menba, and it was about eight generations ago.
It is said that it was built by Ganbu, a living Buddha in Ganbu Temple. It was originally a three-story building with twelve walls and four doors in the east, west, south and north, and there were many gold-plated bronze Buddha statues.
It was destroyed by an earthquake in 1950, and was later rebuilt into two east-west buildings.
Blood Pool: The world's first blood pool was unearthed in Motuo County.Blood pool, a mechanism that protects the door from being opened, uses human blood to relax a fiber with infinite power.
In "The Secret of Tibet", the blood pool is a mechanism that looks difficult to accept on the outside because it soaks different organs of a person (many) in different blood pools.
However, its defense is very effective, because the mechanism will be opened only if the correct organ is placed into the correct blood pool, and it uses the different functions of various organs to generate the liquid needed to open the mechanism.
It is the product of human sacrifice.
The economy of Medog County is mainly based on agriculture.
It produces rice, chicken feet, soybeans, cotton, sesame, etc.
The proportion of animal husbandry economy is not large.
Forestry and side business economy are mainly self-sufficiency.
Its rich forestry, water conservancy and agricultural resources can support most of the Tibetan population.
It is such a place with abundant resources. Due to various reasons such as history and natural conditions, it has been almost isolated from the outside world for a long time. Not only has the natural conditions not changed, but economic construction is also basically equal to zero. The closure makes this place an isolated island that remains in its original state on the Tibetan Plateau. The famous special products are mainly wild fruits, Gastrodia elata, Panax notoginseng, Mixiang, Monkey Head, Huhuanglian, etc.
Mineral resources are basically still virgin lands that have not been census.
Because of the hidden terrain, Motuo is known as the ultimate realm of humanity hidden in clouds, snow mountains, dense forests, and the last secret realm on the earth. When you go to Motuo, you must cross snow mountains, climb cliffs, and penetrate dense forests, and use your feet to travel long distances and measure them step by step.
The road to this beautiful place as heaven is like purgatory. The mountains on both sides of the river are steep, and the river water is surging in the deep valleys. Many sections of the road are natural dangers hewn on the cliffs, one side is steep cliffs and the other side is a deep abyss; the mountain passes are covered with snow, regardless of winter or summer, and along the way are unexpectedly avalanches, sudden rains, flying stones, and mudslides.
Since the liberation of Medog, the government has selected five road construction routes and put them into action.
However, due to multiple reasons, the car was ultimately unable to drive into Medog smoothly.
After years of investigation, many experts concluded that Modo is located in the Himalayan fault zone and the Modo fault zone, with frequent geological activities and is a frequent area of earthquakes, landslides and mudslides. In addition, Modo's climate is humid and rainy, making Modo's desire to open to traffic difficult.
These holy places worshipped by believers sow infinite temptations on the hearts of many Tibetans. The Menba people and Luoba people in Motuo said that the place they live is Baiyuguibu Baimagang, which means a hidden holy place like lotus. In Buddhist concepts, lotus is a symbol of auspiciousness.
