The Ruins of Gesar

　　  Introduction      "Gesar" is an ancient and mysterious cultural phenomenon. Over more than 2,000 years of refinement from over 200 BCE to the present day, it has formed the unparalleled epic of "Gesar" through its unique form of divine inspiration. The people of Zhiduo County claim to be the hometown of Zhuoma, the peerless heroine of the "Gesar" epic. Relics and stories related to Gesar are scattered across the mountains, rivers, and valleys of Zhiduo, such as the "Gesar Sharpening Stone," "Gesar’s Horse Hoof Print," "Zhuoma’s Horse Corral," the "Legend-filled Natural Stone Bridge," and the "Hoof prints of sheep, paw prints of dogs, and human footprints on the stones of the bridge," all seemingly telling the stories that once unfolded there.
