Explore the legend of the "snowman" in Tibet

The legend of the "snowman" in Tibet is an unsolved mystery in the world today.

　　Some Tibetans call the "snowman" "post Cangmji", which means the "snowman" on the snow-capped mountains. It is said that the "snowman" is tall, up to about 2 meters, with light gray long hair and brown-yellow hair. It walks upright and is as fast as flying. It makes a living by digging grass roots and catching small animals such as snow rabbits and snow chickens. It is amazing and dares to fight ferocious grizzly bears.

　　Because it lives on the cliffs and glaciers above the snow-capped mountains, and its coat color is almost mixed with the snow and thorns, it is not easy to find. At the same time, it is extremely clever, and it quickly escapes when it makes a sound, so even the camera It's hard to capture.

　　Since the establishment of the snowman expedition team in China in 1956, several explorations have only taken a few footprints. So far, the exact whereabouts of the snowman have not been seen.

　　The rumor of the "snowman" has been around for a long time, and the earliest written record may be the "Luan Yang Summer Record" written by Ji Yun. One of the clouds: "Fang Gui, the son of a man in Urumqi, tasted the herding of horses deep in the mountains, and suddenly ran away. Looking for traces, I heard a hissing sound in a hurry across the mountains. Follow the sound to a certain valley, and see several things, like people and beasts, the scales and skin of the whole body are mottled like ancient pine, and the hair is fluffy like a feather. The eyes are prominent, the color is pure white, like two chicken eggs embedded in them, and the flesh is bitten by horses."

　　The other is collected in the book "Listening to the Wars". It is said that two people entered Tibet for trade, each riding a mule, and lost their way in the mountains without distinguishing things. Suddenly, more than a dozen objects jumped off the cliff, and they suspected that they were "clips" (robbers). When they got closer, they were all more than two meters tall, covered in long yellow-brown hair, as if they were inhuman. Their voices were indistinguishable, and the two shuddered and thought they were bound to die. These monsters had no intention of harming, but instead clipped them under the flank over the mountains and mountains, as light as apes and birds, and sent them to the side of the road.

　　In 1952, the Italian Tombuz claimed that he saw a "yeti" (the hidden voice of "snowman") in the foothills of the Kabul Mountains in the Himalayas, hurried past 300 meters away, and then disappeared into the cluttered ice. Behind the pile. Tombuz wrote: "Yeti looked like a man, covered with long dark hair and walked fast..."

　　In 1951, Shipton of the British Mount Everest mountaineering team took a very clear photo of the footprints of what is said to be a "snowman". The big toe and second toe on the photo are separated and lack a human-like arch. Compared with modern humans, the feet of the "snowman" are still in their primitive stage.

　　In 1954, a British expedition to the Himalayas to find a "snowman" found two "snowman" scalps preserved here for more than 300 years. The skin is covered with fiery red hair mixed with brown.

　　In 1958, an American mountaineer saw a disheveled "snowman" eating frogs by a mountain river in Nepal in the Himalayas.

　　In 1950, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units sent professionals to conduct a special investigation on the "snowman". On the evening of May 20, team member Shang Yuchang was writing a diary in the tent when he suddenly heard two gunshots in the valley, and saw the Tibetan translator running panting and shouting: "Snowman! Snowman!" It turned out that a "Snowman" was walking from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain, with long hair all over his body. The translator fired two shots tightly, but missed due to darkness, and the "snowman" fled.

　　Before that, a lama from Rongbu Monastery saw the "snowman". Its characteristics are: long hair all over the body, larger than the size of the body, and walking upright.

　　On June 24, 1959, in Shaji Pond in the middle reaches of the Kama River Valley. A Nepalese border resident living in China reported that one of his yaks was bitten by the throat of a "snowman" and died. The "snowman" sucked up the blood of the yak. Chinese expedition members rushed to the scene and found a brown hair near the dead cow, 15.6 cm long. After being brought back to Beijing for identification, it was believed to be different from the hair of yaks, orangutans, brown bears, and rhesus monkeys. This is a very precious object about the "snowman".

　　In October 1985, a self-employed dentist from Zhejiang came to Nagqu Qiangtang as a dentist. On the way back to Lhasa by car, he saw a group of wild donkeys running out of the mountains. There is a brown monster in hot pursuit behind. When the wild donkey gallops, it can reach a speed of 100 miles per hour, but after a while, an outdated wild donkey is grabbed by the brown monster. He believes that the monster is similar to the "snowman" described by people.

　　The miracle of the "snowman" in Tibet has attracted the attention of scientists from all over the world, and various analyses and inferences have also been put forward. At present, there is a growing voice that the so-called "snowman" may be the representative of the great apes in southern China that have been preserved to the present. Of course, in order to unravel the mystery of the "snowman" in Tibet, it needs the efforts of scientists and solid evidence.
