Lake tsoka

Lake tsoka

Cuoka lake, located in Mali Township, Xinlong County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, is 32 kilometers away from the county seat. It is known as "fairyland on earth, Jiutian yaochi". Tsoka lake is locally known as tsoka Haizi. It also praises doconama. In Tibetan, it means the black sea water in the rocks. It is a freshwater lake with an area of about 3 square kilometers, which means "Emerald".

It is said that the lake is not very big, but her Jasper like water is crystal clear, collecting the blue sky, white clouds, green trees, green mountains and red temples like a kaleidoscope. It seems that the whole world has been taken into her arms, processed and released in a more charming manner, which is refreshing.

Scenery

There is a famous lake in Mali Township, Xinlong County, which is called "the fairyland of the world, the Jiutian yaochi" by people who have been there. At the beginning of September, the plateau was already full of autumn, with bright yellow autumn scenery everywhere. Starting from Xinlong County, the car traveled about 30 kilometers, and we arrived at Mari Township, where the tsoka lake is located. From the township government to the tsoka lake, I need to abandon my car for riding. It's my first time to ride a horse. When I first got there, I was very nervous. Although a warm-hearted fellow helped to lead the horse in front of me, my eyes were still staring at the front of the path without blinking, and my hands were holding the reins tightly, fearing that I would fall off the horse if I didn't pay attention. After walking for a while, my nerves were no longer so nervous. I gradually got used to and liked the way of riding. I began to enjoy the roadside scenery while walking.

Walking along the mountain road behind the township government, the mountain suddenly opens up after crossing a mountain pass. The grassland on both sides is yellow and green in the middle. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, groups of yaks and goats disappear. They either lower their heads to eat grass, or look up. When the breeze blows, they send waves of pastoral songs. This situation, this scene, people can not help but think of the "sky, wild, the wind blowing grass low see cattle and sheep" poem. On the way, the young cadres talked about the origin of the lake.

legend

A long time ago, this place was extremely short of water. Many people who lived here had to say goodbye to their hometown in tears and leave their hometown to settle down in other places. During this period, they suffered a lot. The God of heaven saw that the life of the people here was difficult, and sent two Hercules to carry water here to help alleviate the water shortage. When a Hercules came to the middle of the mountain with water on his back, one of them was so tired that he put down his leather bag and prepared to put the water there. The other said "Ma Ri" (Tibetan for "no"), and they continued to walk up the mountain to the top of the mountain. They found that the ground was wide and flat all around, and there were no obstacles in front, back, left and right, so they decided to put the water on a flat ground near the top of the mountain, As a result, there is a freshwater lake with a radius of more than ten mu, which also gets the name "Ma Ri". Since then, the water of Mari lake has nurtured a lot of people in a ditch in Mari township. Despite the vicissitudes of time, the water of Mari lake is still as clear and bright as it was when the gods released it, and there is no reduction. In 1358, pubadenzi, a descendant of Tibetan Buddhism, built a Kagyu Temple by the lake, which was named tsoka temple. Later, the people used to call this lake - tsoka lake.

About two hours later, the horse team went through a forest and over a ridge. Suddenly, a green lake appeared in front of us. It was very beautiful. We cried. We couldn't believe it was the lake of tsoka. She is facing the lush woods, with her back against the dark green mountains, lying quietly on a flat ground similar to a mountain basin. The green lake is shining in the sun. Everyone cheers and goes straight to find the charming aura of the lake.

As we approached, we were amazed that the lake water was too green and bright. We wanted to see it clearly, but it blinked in the sun. It was dark green, light green and bright green. Near and far, there were obvious boundaries between different lake areas, which were divided into different light and dark green. It was really dazzling. There are no birds, no boats, no debris on the lake. It's very quiet and clean. I have seen the sea, the West Lake, the Taihu Lake and the thin West Lake, but I have never seen such beautiful water. Even the MUGECUO lake, which is on the Kangba plateau, is not so beautiful. MUGECUO lake is like a gauze towel draped in the mountains, while cuoka lake is an emerald inlaid on the Kangba plateau. There is a song saying: the lake on the mountain is a tear lying on the surface of the earth. What kind of beauty is she who has such beautiful skin and tears as Lake tsoka? For a moment, we forgot the tiredness of the journey, and together we aimed the camera and lens at tsoka.

I don't know who took the food out of the bag and scattered the biscuit crumbs and other food on the lake. In an instant, the big and small fish competing for food gathered in a big group, about seven or eight Jin in size, and about four or five Liang in size. There were countless fish, some of them even leaped and turned on the lake, and set off waves. At this time, the tsoka lake is like a girl dancing with her waist twisting. The sparkling water is her colorful clothes, and the fish rolling up and down are her skirts fluttering in the wind. With the rustle of leaves coming from the autumn wind, the tsoka Lake shows us her graceful posture of being still, moving, singing and dancing. Zhaxi, a fellow Tibetan, said that in the eyes of Xinlong people, the lake is the embodiment of the holy lake and the God of heaven. It is said that some people once took the lake to treat eye diseases, skin diseases, foot diseases, etc., and tried all kinds of larks. Therefore, the Xinlong people worshipped the lake as a God. Besides drinking, the lake water can not be used for washing clothes, panning vegetables, watering the ground, etc. Perhaps it is because of the reputation of the "holy lake", the fish in the lake are also taken care of by people. In addition to the regular feeding of Zaba (monk) near the tsoka temple, the local people never allow anyone to come here to fish or cast nets. The fish live a comfortable life freely and never know how to be afraid of others. As soon as someone comes near the lake, the fish will gather together with a string, or toss and jump, or shuttle back and forth, competing to spread joy to people, which makes you want to break a branch to play with them, just like a "Mermaid happy picture". In the lakeside, we want to jump, cry and run, but we finally lie down on the sand and stones by the lake. We look at the high sky, the clouds in the sky and the lake around us. We are only intoxicated and moved.

At this time, several young Zaba came out of the tsoka Temple by the lake. At ordinary times, they are the protectors of the lake. Seeing the excitement of a group of us, they sit on the edge of the lake and look at us contentedly, like showing a treasure they have carefully collected to the world. Looking at the quiet, serene and childish faces of Zaba people, a kind of emotion far away from the hustle and bustle and surpassing myself strikes my chest, because there is a rare relief on that face, reflecting the clear and transparent water of Lake tsoka. What a wonderful life it is to have this clear and transparent lake. It's something that people living in the noisy and busy city have been looking for all their lives, but they can't enjoy. I'm a little envious of these young Zaba.

After staying by the lake for an hour or two, the mountains suddenly became overcast and rainy, and the distant mountains were caught in the misty rain in a twinkling of an eye. Everyone quickly opened their backpacks. As soon as they were ready, the thin rain wire floated from far to near to the lake. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. We gather under the umbrella canopy and listen to the big drops of rain on the umbrella canopy, making a crackling sound. Looking up, the lake is already covered with heavy rain, just like the mysterious bridegroom with gossamer, which makes the surroundings extremely solemn and solemn. Everything is quiet and deep. I feel a little cold when the autumn wind blows. All of a sudden, someone in the company called out: snow pig, snow pig. Looking in the direction he pointed out, a cute little animal was walking on the grass beside the lake, looking warily. Some people say that's a good thing. The oil on the buttocks is a good medicine for rheumatism. Just then, someone found a pheasant with a red head and white feathers. He stretched his neck and looked at it on the hill. Vaguely, we found that there were several red spots behind him, one or two, about seven or eight pheasants. "It's a grouse! "Someone can't help shouting. Just when we were excited about this rare discovery, we seemed to find something. In a twinkling, the grouse fluttered down the woods.

It was getting dark, and we began to rush back for fear that the road would be muddy after the rain. The road back is very slippery. The vast mountains are full of dust and water, and you can't even see your shadow. When you turn over the earth sill, you find that it's snowing on the other side of the earth sill. The cold snowflakes are scattered on our heads and faces, and soon they are covered with a thin layer. Looking back at the lake through the snowflakes, the water is still so beautiful and bright green. After a while, we arrived at the government of Mari township. The herdsmen rode slowly down the mountain road. The ground squirrels were burrowing along the roadside. The white and black sheep were eating grass leisurely on the hillside. The snow and rain on the other side of the mountain were just two worlds.
