Features: The Pamir Plateau is a cradle placed by God within reach for humanity. The Tajiks' utilization of nature has not yet broken through, and their understanding of nature's natural attributes has not surpassed it; the boundaries prescribed by nature have not been modified by the Tajiks, and the sun has become supreme. The length of the snow season, the quality of the grass, how much wheat can be harvested, and how much butter can be churned from yogurt in a wooden barrel are all related. The continuous repetition of this scenario has made the Tajiks' reverence for the sun a natural accumulation, remaining unchanged despite the fluctuations of the world and the passage of time, as the sun's gaze upon humanity remains constant.
