My
hometown Pingluo County, Ningxia province lies to the west of
Ertuokeqianqi in Inner Mongolia, to the north of Helan County in
Yinchuan City, to the east of Ho-lan Mountains and Alashanzuoqi in
Inner Mongolia, and to the south of Huinong district in Shizuishan
City. It is a main thoroughfare connecting Gansu province and
Shaanxi province to the south, Inner Mongolia to the north, Ordos
Plateau to the east, and Alxa Prairie to the west crossing Ho-lan
Mountains. The Yellow river flows across the land from the south to
the north. The lakes and wetlands spread everywhere on the boundless
plain, where the ditches vertically and horizontally drain. It is
wooded near the cultivated field. Pingluo County is historically a
fertile land where fish and rice are abundant in the western China.
It is famous for the name of “the land of honey and milk in the
Northern frontier”.
Taole town in
Pingluo County is located at the edge of the Ordos Desert which is a
boundless mysterious place full of imaginaries. Our ancestors stayed
here and made living by their industrious spirit and knowledge to
change the desert from uncultivated land to the land of life.
There are many natural treasures growing in the Ordos Desert like
sand mustard, cynomorium, licorice, and cistanche. They are used as
medicinal herbs and food ingredients. I will introduce sand mustard,
the treasure of the desert to friends from around the world in this
competition.
