Features: This is a grand passage that integrates multiple ethnic groups, bloodlines, cultures, and temperaments. The Qinghe grassland has also become a repository of cultural codes from various grassland ethnic groups. Many secrets, like the silent Altai Mountains, have remained unknown to outsiders for thousands of years. There are numerous relics, perhaps the keys to unlocking these secrets. Everything here is so stern and fierce. The mountain rocks remain silent, and the west wind is mute. The magnificent scenery of nature and the melancholic historical emotions in the heart cannot be so harmoniously blended anywhere else in the world—only in the Altai Mountains, the homeland of the one-eyed people. In the year 2000, an accidental discovery during an exploration and research expedition drew the world's attention to a mysterious valley in the Altai Mountains. The ancient Chinese classic Shan Hai Jing and the Greek historian Herodotus's The Histories both record the one-eyed people. The pens and imagination of the founding historians of the East and West seem to have reached their limits here, and the discovery of the one-eyed people's rock paintings left one in a daze. This book is a record of the author's firsthand exploration and a study of the mysterious culture of Qinghe.
