月牙泉

我终于来到这里--月牙泉旁,怀着谦卑、敬畏和朝圣般的心情. 月牙泉在河西走廊西端,敦煌市南十里的鸣沙山怀抱中.鸣沙山,因风起沙鸣如雷如鼓而得名,东西长四十余里,南北宽二十余里,横卧在三危山下的茫茫戈壁滩上.     

保卫沙漠第一泉

在甘肃敦煌市南6公里处,在鸣沙山环抱之中,一汪清泉形如半月,这就是闻名遐迩的天下沙漠第一泉——月牙泉。月牙泉被鸣沙山四面环抱,但在历史的风景线里,碧波荡漾,不为流沙所掩,沙山与清泉共处,可叹为世界自然地貌之奇观。干百年来,人们面对这一沙海奇观,始终感到奇怪,处在茫茫沙海之中的月牙泉又为何“泉映月而无尘”、“月泉晓澈,亘古沙不填泉,泉不涸竭？”这大自然创造的奇迹,古人百思不得其

绿色征途 环保勇士《绿色家园》栏目开播十年回顾

在敦煌的鸣沙山、月芽泉,我曾看到过这样一组画面：金黄色的沙丘下一缕绿色的草丛,草丛中还点缀着几朵艳丽的花朵,在单调而压抑的沙漠中,这几朵盛开的鲜花显得格外的夺目。她们在烈日中灿烂、在沙尘暴中歌唱;还有一排树木,在沙漠的边缘威严矗立,象守卫家园的哨兵,默默地为人类阻挡着沙魔的侵袭,孤独地同风沙比试着力量。     

沙漠中的明珠--月牙泉

在甘肃敦煌南郊 ,有一处独具风采的沙漠奇景鸣沙山 ,在鸣沙山群峰环绕的一块绿色盆地中 ,有一泓碧水形如弯月 ,这就是月牙泉。鸣沙山因山上的积沙骚动有声而大名鼎鼎 ,月牙泉则因形似一弯新月而芳名远扬。千百年来 ,它们形成了浩瀚沙海中的奇妙景观。月牙泉最早的记载见于东汉《辛氏三秦记》[1] :“河西有沙角山 ,峰愕危峻 ,逾于石山 ,其沙粒粗色黄 ,有如干躇。又山之阳有一泉 ,云是沙井 ,绵历千古 ,沙不填之”。这里所记的“沙井”即今日的月牙泉。自此之后 ,关于月牙泉的记载便屡见史籍 ,并与鸣沙山紧密地连在一起。唐《元和郡县志》载 :…
