Yellow Sand Builds Dreams, the System Leads Us to Build an Oasis

Introduction to the first volume of "Building Dreams in Yellow Sand: The System Leads Us to Build an Oasis" (500 words) When the Silk Road was at its peak during the Jin Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, the Niya Oasis was still a piece of yellow sand - the potter Amu braved sandstorms to find salt-free clay to treat his mother's cough; the old farmer Ai Shan guarded half an acre of thin fields to fight against the late spring cold and the locust plague; Meng Li, the daughter of a merchant, sold sauce in leaky jars, often losing money due to spoilage; Zhao Xiaoxia, a clerk, fled here to escape the civil unrest in the city and barely made a living by speaking multiple languages. The four people broke through the situation of survival: Amu used Populus euphratica to solve the problem of bonding Roman glass and Western clay, and the fired gilt glass pottery opened up the European religious market. Even the Roman church ordered a 3-meter altar; Aishan improved the Central Plains wheat seeds and bred the salt-tolerant and high-yielding "Oasis No. 1", Transforming the Western Region from a food-deficit area. It is the granary of the Silk Road; Meng Li upgraded the packaging with wool-wrapped boxes and beeswax seals, and developed light-sweet sea buckthorn sauce and olive oil-soaked dates, allowing the "oasis flavor" to take root in 30 Mediterranean counters; Zhao Xiaoxia integrated resources to promote Persia, Turks, and Rome to form the Silk Road Alliance and formulate craftsmanship and farming standards. From protecting pottery slabs during sandstorms and preventing locust plagues in wheat fields, to showing results at a Roman exhibition and building cross-tribal canals for mutual aid, this group of ordinary people integrated civilization with craftsmanship, gathered cooperation with farming, and connected Europe and Asia with trade. In the end, the deserted Niya oasis became a hub for craftsmanship and agriculture connecting Europe, Asia and Africa, and Amu's clay, Aishan's wheat seeds, Meng Li's sauce jars, and Zhao Xiaoxia's alliance agreement jointly wrote the Silk Road legend of "yellow sand turns into an oasis, and civilizations prosper together."
