Since ancient times, Yulin is not only a transitional zone between nomadic culture and farming culture, but also a military fortress for the Central Plains regime to defend the nomadic peoples in the north. There is a word is "poor Wuding River riverside bones, still spring boudoir dream people", Wuding River is here, with the rainy season and change the river, insufficient water flow, disappeared in the yellow land.

On the afternoon of February 21, 2013, on the 12th day of the first lunar month, I got off by bus in Yuling Town, continued to take a black car, crossed the Wuding River northward, and came to Mafang Village, Hengshan County, south of Yulin City, northern Shaanxi.

In the final stage of preparation for the Bull King Society, an old man in the village invited the statue of the Bull King Bodhisattva. Shooting / Lin Jiyang)

The inner strength of civilization, which reconciles the harmonious order between heaven and earth, is suffering from the serious impact and challenge of modernization. Unrestrained desire for development, if you want to do it, "make money according to your ability", egotistical, in the name of science and interests. Heaven and earth are gone.

I think it is necessary to re-explore the local spirit, find the core of this civilization, and let this society achieve real "harmony".
