影片展现了吐峪沟麻扎村的生土建筑和深厚的历史。吐峪沟的人民自己建造了自己的房子。他们四面环山,所以吐峪沟,在维语的意思是不通的路。他们的房子有几百年的历史。住在这里的人们,对这片土地,对他们的根有着深厚的感情,所以他们从未想过离开。这里的建筑受到伊斯兰和汉文化的影响,所以可以在房子里看到多种元素的结合。这里的气候夏天及其炎热,冬天异常寒冷,所以他们建的房子冬暖夏凉。因为来自天山的积雪融水流经这里,所以他们选择在这里定居,水是他们的生命之源。
The film explores the architecture and the rich history of Mazar village in the Toyuk Valley. The people in Toyuk build their own houses. They are surrounded by mountains on all sides, hence the name Toyuk, which in Uyghur means, the impassable road. They have houses that are hundreds of years old. The people living in the village never want to leave the village because of a strong connection to their roots. The architecture is inspired by both Han and Islamic culture, hence, we find elements of both in their houses. The place suffers from extremes of climate, so their houses are built keeping it in mind. The water flowing in the village, coming from Tianshen Mountain has the settlement growing around it. It is the source of life and its exploration to the people of the village.
