Walls around the opening of a small window for ventilation and look out for the defense.

The exterior of the fortress is decorated with the natural color of stones and flakes as the tone, which makes the whole building look simple and heavy, and the whole natural environment is natural. The four walls are inlaid with stone carvings and colorful paintings of heavenly or earthly gods, which are said to have the function of suppressing demons and avoiding evils.

The size of the scripture hall curtains hanging low, the lamp long bright, smoke, painted around the inner wall of the story of Buddha's life and other content of the mural, colorful, delicate brushwork. Being there, there will be a kind of "speech and silence, all sound and color, all is the Buddha's business" feeling. On the Tibetan building, must hold the round wooden handrail to go, may be to try to save space for the sake of the staircase one level next to the densely packed, according to the habits of the Han Chinese think it is not good at all to go, every step on the must have to be patient! Toast butler's studio and bedroom, and the bedroom placed in the middle of the huge and incomparable loaded with food with the wooden box. The butler had a supreme position in the family of a toji, basically he was the central figure of the family's economy and politics. Carefully scrutinized hanging on the wall of the butler's dignified appearance, looks indeed deep and wise in the calm and some stabilizing, completely a remarkable character's demeanor. In fact, his living room was not luxurious, and could even be called plain. But in the simple furnishings, the majesty of a great steward is revealed everywhere! The barn in the inner room of the house reveals the family's abundance of clothing and the steward's shrewdness. Then into the Toji family dining room, where the arrangement is relatively speaking much more luxurious, walk into give a person a kind of gold and blue and some of the feeling of harmony and harmony.

Toast bedroom

Into the bedroom of the Toast, the room is very wide and very grand on the furnishings of the exquisite needless to say, the wall of the Toast and his wife's group photo is more reminiscent of the seventeenth generation of Toast adults Suo Guan Ying broad-faced full of forehead, a look of far-reaching contemplative look, dignified look sacrosanct; his wife is a beautiful and gentle Han Chinese women, her delicate face gives a calm and warm feeling, make people believe that she is a woman, and the woman is a woman, and the man is a woman, and the man is a beautiful and gentle woman, and she is a woman. Her delicate face gave people a feeling of calmness and warmth, making people believe that she was a good master who taught her children and sympathized with her subordinates! Their bedding is certainly the best in the entire official village, the bed is Tibetan style, the bed is very broad, above all the colorful symbols of good luck and prosperity of the flourishing flowers. The bedroom of the inner room is a collection of gold and silver jewelry where, inside the treasure crystal glitter, countless, so that people are surprised at the family's heyday of glory, but at the same time will be associated with how many slaves by the blood of the bones of the solidified prosperity, rich and noble to the extreme in the slavery society naturally also cruel to the extreme! The second floor looked into the Red Army deeds exhibition hall, in early July 1935, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai and other leading comrades of the Central Committee lived here for a week, and held a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, specifically to discuss issues related to ethnic areas. At that time, due to the Tibetan-Chinese divide, the Red Army's ethnic policy of humanistic color, even if the Red Army into this place was under the command of the Tusi militia group of blocking, the Red Army is as little as possible to damage the interests of the ethnic groups, some of the comedy is that, in the process of the difficult to advance, the Red Army fired two flares, the Tusi and his family thought that the Han Chinese set off the fire of the gods, which is irresistible, and then led the people to run away, so the Red Army did not cost a shot or a bullet to capture the Red Army! The Red Army captured the official fortress without firing a single shot. After the Red Army is very respectful of Tibetan culture, there is no harm to the interests of the official fortress behavior, generations into the Tibetan area of the good news, but also to promote the Tibetan and Chinese harmony! During the Long March, the Red Army stayed in Malcolm and Zhuo Keji for a year, leaving behind numerous revolutionary relics. When we see the showroom in the red army in the Tibetan area around the dangerous mountains and water for the concentrated map of the arduous battle, all feel the twists and turns of the Chinese revolution, the Chinese revolution can finally achieve complete victory, is really that foreign journalists say "miracle on earth"! These people enjoying the fruits of the victory of generation after generation is really not dare to forget the grace ah!

Walking towards the first floor, I took a look at each room, but it was just some agricultural tools, instruments, food and so on. And every nation, people have to rely on their own hard-working hands, to the nature and dedication, people have a source of survival of life, so a Tibetan said well: "It is such mountains and rivers gave us the fundamental survival, we know that we should always and nature to maintain the relationship of harmony and harmony, every day we have to pray to the sky and earth, I hope that in the netherworld it will be able to make us human beings live to our heart's content for all eternity!"
