The two-person classic "Five Brothers Herding Sheep" rooted in the folk of Shanxi, Shaanxi, Mongolia and Hebei has been given the background of the grand era of the development of northern Xinjiang during the Kangxi and Yong years. Stay loyal, stay brave, stay civil, stay successful,
The five Shouzhen brothers were either trapped in the palace and plotting, or fighting in the wind and sand at the border, or perishing in the prison of literary injustice, or standing at the forefront of the commercial world, or staying in the mountains and pastoral. Their five different life trajectories intertwined a picture of the survival of the people at the bottom of feudal society. In the story, the grassland herdsmen Su De's father, Wu Lan, and their Han brothers help each other, creating a warm chapter of ethnic integration; the literati who was relegated to the desert but determined to reclaim the wasteland planted the seeds of hope in the desolate land.
