Soil chibi

On the bedrock 40 ~ 50 meters high on both sides of the Yellow River, red paste with a thickness of 20 ~ 30 meters is piled up, which is called three-toed red soil. There is a layer of conglomerate with a thickness of 5 ~ 10 m at the bottom, which is called Luzigou conglomerate. They are river sediments from 5 million to 2.5 million years ago. The light red, brownish yellow to light yellow on it is Quaternary aeolian yellow, and the dust in the deserts of northwest China and Central Asia is transported by strong winds and accumulated on red soil.

The three-toed horse, the ancestor of the horse with odd hooves, evolved from the original five-toed horse with five toes and looked like a goat. Because of running on the grassland for a long time, the toes with sliding function below degenerated, leaving only three toes 5 million to 2.5 million years ago, and finally becoming a tall horse good at running on one hoof. They were domesticated by people tens of thousands of years ago and became domestic animals for human use.

The Red Sandstone Landform of Dongwa Temple in Jingle County

The early Triassic Shiqianfeng Formation is composed of bright red sandstone with brick red mudstone, and the cliff formed by it is gorgeous and bright. It belongs to layered landform, which is different from the special peak cluster composed of red glutenite and Shilin landform-Danxia landform. Some scholars often confuse the difference between the two.

Geological characteristics of Xinzhou

On both sides of the Yellow River in Hequ County, the rolling mountains stretching for dozens of kilometers were dyed as bright red as fire. They are composed of gray-red Permian Shihezi Formation and bright red Triassic Shiqianfeng Formation, which are typical horizontal layered landforms. They have a distinct sense of rhythm and vivid sense of hierarchy. Red is like a flame, gold is like a gorgeous flash, white jade is elegant, and indigo is like a dragon. It varies greatly with seasons, time and climate, and the scenery varies with sunrise, sunset, rain and fog. Clouds are steaming, clouds are steaming and the cliffs are towering. Color and mountain are integrated, and beauty and illusion are integrated. Ribbons rise and fall with the mountain, such as colorful ribbons fluttering in the wind, which is amazing.
