Yesterday, several friends and I happily embarked on a journey to Dafeng Elk Nature Reserve.
At nine o'clock in the morning, we arrived at our destination. Under the leadership of our tour guide, we came to the God-Fengshen Tower. Legend has it that Jiang Ziya was unrivaled when he rode the "Four Dislikes". Later, he helped King Wu of Zhou complete his great mission of defeating Zhou.
The original Tianzun entrusted Jiang Ziya with a dream and told him to become a god. The location was the God-conferring Tower. The tour guide pointed to the fifth floor of the God-conferring Tower and said: "There is no way to the fifth floor of the God-conferring Tower. May I ask why this is happening?"
"Everyone was talking about it, but no one could give the correct answer. Finally, the tour guide told us that the fifth floor is specially used to store water.
After passing the Fengshen Tower, we came to the Elk Park. There are 716 elk in the park. The elk is commonly known as the "Four-Unlike" because its hooves are like a cow, its face is like a horse, its tail is like a donkey, and its antlers are like a deer; male elk and female elk.
Elk are easy to distinguish because male elk have horns and female elk don't have horns. Elk's antlers are the most distinctive among all deer. Whether it is standing or sitting, the tips of its horns are always pointed backwards.
Elk is a herbivorous mammal, but the elk looks like a big tiger in the Deer King Competition. The Deer King Competition is held in May every year. Their final winner is the Deer King of that year. The status of the Deer King is similar to that of ancient times.
The emperor is supreme, and the entire herd of deer only obeys his command. Similarly, the deer king also has "three palaces and six courtyards"; the deer king's term is three months. During these three months, the deer king hardly eats or sleeps, while the others
But the male deer is recharging his energy, waiting for the next deer king competition. After the deer king's term is over, he will return to the deer group and become an ordinary deer.
The elk experience is magical.
In 1900, the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Peiping and plundered the last group of elk. Since then, elk have almost disappeared in China. In 1964, with the help of the World Wildlife Fund, my country returned 39 elk from several zoos in the UK to their hometown and released them in the wild. Inside Dafeng Elk Nature Reserve.
At around ten o'clock we visited other scenic spots in the reserve.
