To leave the hosts who, with enthusiasm to the master Do not, to say the phrase can be used in peacekeeping, "Ahmat hot" (meaning thank you) and "West-ho" (meaning goodbye) to shake hands goodbye.
Into the lane, as if into the Uygur style of painting. Those who had not been planned, the construction of free, according to the requirements and stay in their places of origin to the four-week extension to the high - Intended to increase above the floor level, Louwai Lou, a residential Cuoluoyouzhi arrangement of deep alleys are extending in all directions. Faint lanes, the lanes deep, early into the alley that would enter the maze; seven of eight around the bend, turn left, turn right and climb down from the corner into a small, can take most of the day also Not get out. Some move into the field Lane's people are not familiar with the layout of the lanes, has not the residence to go out shopping, people in the criss-cross through the Xiang Li, a lot of walking back to the starting circle, the residential alley after another and then ANGLE on down, There are wide and narrow, short length of the various lanes even for a whole spectacle of the residential areas. Kashi City, is listed as State historical and cultural cities, residential high-profile city is a lot of cultural landscape in both value and beauty of the Uighur culture has a deep meaning and profound historical, cultural customs of the landscape. Uighurs living in the heart of the culture that is attached to the home and native land, the first open In the high-profile settled in the generations to come here for generations live and multiply. Into the alleys of any residents of a home, he will be pointing to the vicissitudes of life through the mud wall to tell people, my ancestors live here, until the proliferation of our generation. Think of this first compound in the hands of the ancestors, the ten Spacious.
With a population more and more, increasing housing, so that accounts for part of the courtyard. With the proliferation of generations, live only inside the compound where there is no room to expand repair, and then connect on the wall around the compound to the expansion of housing, to a four-week residential groups have been formed. Lane, no longer be able to expand Family residential, high-altitude start to the extension of the intelligent Uighurs in the original building more housing on the floor, even on the second floor Canada, from the residential building in the territories have. A large population of households do not even use the building, come up with a peculiar way, some people in the second floor of the amendment, the House will extend out across the alley up street The opposite, which is quite creative in the form of construction to gradually promote the opening, after hundreds of years, gradually formed a unique Kashi lanes, "Guo Jielou" Landscape, "Guojie Lou" The trick is that it will not affect pedestrian walking downstairs, Does not affect the people living upstairs, in a limited range of great use of space Construction. Fully reflect the wisdom of the Uighurs. In addition to up to see the "Guojie Lou", there is also accounted for half of the street, "Street floor and a half." In the depths of the lanes can also see that the building will be built in the alley at the crossroads of the "vacant floor." From a distance looked like legislation in alleys or inside the gun turret of the bunker. Read the street lanes Type up the house, along the alleys of any of the trails around can be seen along the roadway construction of the residential compound outside the wall and in accordance with the door open, the door is 2, a next to a.
Uighur residents have strong Uygur architectural style, the style is characterized by the formation of Kashi's special natural environment and be , By the Islamic culture, history and centuries of evolution and evolving. There are houses like the high-profile features: one. Plane layout of the residential compound of free and flexible, residents of the construction of indoor and outdoor space is arranged according to specific conditions and practical needs, such as the concept of symmetry is not binding, the full benefit Topography and the construction of the space, the high-profile residential compound in the residential houses there, two-story building, three floors and even the seven-story building, built three-Ya Shang, four-Ya Xia, Ya Shang, can be Yaxia, the main house Excellent design to make full use of the terrain, the three-Tu Ya Ya Shang from the Progressive, Yaxia from three-to four-under to the Layer, or from the bottom up and down along the floor of the exchange floor to reach any one band. Second, the courtyard has a strong closed. Uighur people can meet the requirements of family life and adapt to the local natural environment. Against wind and rain played a role in the shelter. Third, changing the simple form. Uygur architectural component of construction Line little Bump feet, generous smooth walls, doors outdoor, for more than two doors, solid solemn, door set, engraved with images of the pattern copper, iron shield layering. Hoisting a big bowl of the two doors locked loop for use. Along with the external walls of piled bricks, add straw mud, decades or even centuries remained as before. Whitehead is also useful The brushing. Fourth, the construction is divided into masters of the indoor living room, living room, mostly on both sides of the same on behalf of children and family housing. Living room with no Wood Beds, almost all sleep in the pit. Unlike in the north of China's rural fire, but it filled the pit formation, or to the entire area of two-thirds or half. The walls are built on open The wall cabinets, there are many layers to place daily. The living room wall cabinets are more decorative style of Islamic architecture. For the multi-arch, the size of different niches, ranging from a few layers. There are four Uighur traditional plaster lace pattern. Some niche is plaster floor space in the mosaic pattern design on the whole niche. Lan was carved plaster White pattern design, a nation that looked a distinct feature of the sculpture art. Housing and living room walls are also linked to Hotan carpets. Larger courtyard in front of the house there is a general corridors, the corridors carved column on a variety of flower motifs, corridors under Article barrier is a carpenter spin out of the system, not the length of interval thickness round The wooden barrier. There are corridors pit, covered with flowers carpet the carpet, the hospital corridors planes even Putao Jia, according to grape vines climb up the gallery roof frame, is the great good place to enjoy the cool air.
Fifth, the high-profile residential long history of some ancient houses are mostly for hundreds of years of history, there are some residential areas from generation to generation, since security The Sansibainian. The room structure, roof, walls, doors and windows, and even color all remain the same. A proliferation of residential areas is a family, live, the rise and fall, the continuation of future generations of family history. Many houses have seven or eight generations passed down, as the concept of a strong clan of the Uygur, residential and cultural core of that Is attached to the family home. Some of the largest residential housing compound in as many as one, 20 upstairs downstairs, the two side rooms of several generations living with a courtyard, is a true four generations. Read the landscape residential lanes, residential areas and cultural learn Uygur characteristics, taste, experience lanes deep yard behind a life of the nation's calendar And the homes of culture. In addition to the residential lanes that the high-profile spectacle, there are a more ancient, has a long history of the original soil Tutao of handmade pottery workshop, 17 have now been preserved, the oldest of eight workshops, residential high-profile location, the Uyghur "wide Niyaz Asia with its Greek ", in Chinese means" Gaoyatutao . Tuya's unique ancient houses and workshops Tutao be high on the stage two of the most cultural relics and scenic spots of the value.
Gao Ya is three more than 10 meters from the ground, condescending, clean air, free from floods, storm disasters, favorable terrain, thousands of years since the ancestors of the first Uygur more than 1000 years ago To settle this in the years since then, the land continued to have a lot of Uighurs have Gaoya to build a home. In the repair room on the spot in the mud and soil, the soil in the Gaoya Uighurs in a "color Gezi" soil, the soil texture and delicate, strong viscosity in prison, is to produce soil of perfect ceramic materials. About 80 Years ago, fired a Tutao artisan of the first to discover the "color Gezi" soil, so Tuya in the construction of the first workshop Tutao. Tutao have been followed by many artists in the creation of high-Ya Shang Tutao workshop. In the past years there, Tutao products with the Uighur people's living practices are closely linked. Three-day life Can not be separated from the mud bowl, called Uighurs, "Ta Wake", and the surface of the food put Sheng Fan Tao basin, bath with the Tutao basin, wash their hands with the "I grams of meat" (clay), the water " Treasury Fu (Tao Gang), Laundry by "Taihsi grams of Taiwan" (Tao laundry basin), carrying water used, "Makuza" (Tutao bucket). Night Tutao all kinds of oil lamps, candlesticks, and then shaking a baby, even Tutao-bird hunting equipment, and so on, the Tutao varieties as many as 100 kinds of products, covering all aspects of people's lives. At that time, in the historical conditions, soil pottery along with the Uighur people's lives, their great contribution, has made undeniable contributions
Tutao history of the peak, high on the stage more than a hundred Tutao workshop, the whole city of Kashi Tutao workshop focused on all of this on Tuya, the Uighurs "Tutao cliff." With the advance of history, social progress and economic development, improvement of people's lives, Tutao the decline of industry in order Now high on the stage only existing ancient Tutao less than 30 workshops, Tutao engaged in the production of the master from a maximum of five or six people, left more than 50, although a lot of pottery have been living out of the stage, only the production of There are a few of the pottery market demand, many species have disappeared, lost much of the risk . However, is still engaged in dozen Tutao industry as the owner put Square, inheritance left by the ancestors craft, obsessed in the production of Tu Tao. This is only a dozen or so workshops Tutao, are five or six generations to stay ancestors passed down, the soil of their election materials, screening, mixing and kneading clay, body shaping, painting, sculpture cut flowers, glaze, into the Firing, a dry kiln and so on a dozen procedures, all handmade crafts, and even now can use electric devices forming wheel spin, might dispense with the heavy manual work, but they are still in use pottery artist Legend has it that 800 years old Traditional methods of soil on the ground floor of the Millennium, wooden foot rotating disk blanks, Molded with vegetation burning kiln. Tutao for the painting, color and glaze is also the ancestral methods of processing formula, glaze paint all the minerals from the desert or the mountains to crush the stones of different colors of the collection, from stone grinding mill, after more than 10 heavy physical Road Labor processing from the final shape of the bricks to become a beautiful Glazed pottery or art. Although the products Tutao not worth the money, not the texture itself Tu Tao, said it straight, it's worth a lot of them blend of history. From this point of archeology at home and abroad, artists, collectors, and traveled to Kashi Tutao obsessed we can get in close. This is after thousands of years of history, Today, the production process has not changed its charm lies. The high-profile residents of the existing 603 houses, population 2,450 people, in addition to Tutao engaged in the production of the industry, there are many people engaged in embroidered caps, tool making, leather processing, textiles, blacksmith, sewing and other crafts people.
