Quote:

"王晴的摄影作品——'生命的回声'系列备受关注。这些历时七年拍摄的照片展示了吐鲁番市附近几个古老维族村落的日常生活和风俗仪式。

"她的作品中展现最多的是吐峪沟和木头沟，都位于火焰山的峡谷深处。这座由红色砂岩构成的、布满沟壑的山脉因16世纪的中文小说《西游记》而闻名。

(Arabic: "Festival of the sacrifice;"

Quote:

"In the lunar-based Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days. In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.

"Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr. * * * The word 'Eid' appears once in Al-Ma'ida, the fifth sura of the Quran, with the meaning 'solemn festival.'
