Before the Dragon Boat Festival, at the invitation of Dezhou Writers' Association, he participated in the activity of "National Writers Tour the Old Road of the Yellow River and Praise Colorful Xiajin". Xiajin used to be known as "the key to the Qi-Jin alliance". Today, nearly 100 writers from all over the country gathered in the Old Road Forest Park of the Yellow River to feel the prosperity and glory.
According to historical records, since the fifth year of King Ding in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (602 BC), the Yellow River has moved six times, diverted 26 times, and overflowed 1590 times. Among them, more than 20 large-scale breaches flooded the surrounding areas, and the main stream of the Yellow River flowed through Xiajin County twice, resulting in six major breaches, leaving 300,000 mu of undulating sand dunes here. A winding old Yellow River has peculiar landform changes, undulating sand dunes, towering old trees and full of vitality, forming a green barrier for natural transformation, including nearly 30,000 old trees over a hundred years old, which is a precious original ecological natural resource in the plain area and has the reputation of "Northern Deciduous Fruit Tree Museum". This is the forest park, the old road of the Yellow River. From a distance, it is lush and makes people open-minded and happy.
At the southernmost tip of the old huanghe road Forest Park, there is a thousand acres of ancient mulberry garden called Yishou Garden. The old course of the Yellow River, unique soil and water conditions and climate have created a "unique" mulberry tree here. Shenguo granules are full, the pulp is thick, the juice is fresh and tender, the taste is as sweet as honey, and it looks like a strawberry. Not only is it big, but it is also sweet with a lot of stuffing. Whenever the "ear seed" season is ripe, it is the best season to pick and taste fruits. There are many fruits, such as stars, on the branches with huge crowns. The villagers hit the trees with long poles to harvest the fruits. People walk under thousands of hectares of lush green trees and pick food with their hands, which has a special feeling. They put them in their mouths alone or in handfuls, and the feeling is indescribable.
Walking into the mulberry forest, the long arms of ancient mulberry trees attracted me. The trees are full of crowns and dense branches and leaves. "Wolong Tree" and "Longteng Tree" are magnificent and domineering, and people can't help but marvel at the beauty and strangeness of their posture! Standing in front of the "couple tree", although it has gone through more than 800 years of vicissitudes and hardships, it is still lingering, such as inseparable paint, full of love, thick green and fruitful.
Deep in the mulberry forest, I got into the sheltered tree and looked up from the middle. There are many fruits in the green mulberry leaves. They are as white as jade, as white as pearls, as purple as agate, and a little as red as amber, while enjoying delicious food. Liu Xiubei, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was short of food and grass here, and it was mulberry trees that filled the hunger of the army. He praised: "This is God's help, and great things will be realized!" " ! Scrawled again: the word "heaven". There is now a "Heaven Pavilion" here.
Walking on, I found a tall ancient mulberry tree, in front of which stood a sign: According to legend, Queen ChristianRandPhillips accompanied Emperor Qianlong to the south of the Yangtze River, and the weather was hot and the dragon was ill. Qianlong ordered to look for a summer resort, and this ancient tree-like paradise was found everywhere. Just as the fruit was ripe, Qianlong enjoyed the cool under the tree and tasted it. He felt refreshed and cheerful, and strongly rewarded people around him. The people thanked Emperor Qianlong for his kindness and called this tree "Imperial Tree". Folklore has existed since ancient times. Let's just listen and pass it on.
Suddenly, I saw a temple among the green trees in front of me. Walking in, it turned out to be the newly-built Zhu Guoxiang Memorial Hall. On both sides of the gate, there is a pair of couplets, "Wan Jia has a happy heart Xi, a cool breeze dream". Above the gate, there is a large plaque inscribed by Li Zhaoxing, "Zhu Guoxiang Memorial Hall". As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pair of couplets on the column, "Ming En Da De built a museum with a grand image, planted trees to prevent sand, served as an official, and had wide feelings." The main hall introduces Zhu Guoxiang's deeds: According to legend, Zhu Guoxiang, who was demoted in the Qing Dynasty, became a Xiajin county magistrate. After seeing the barren sand and the crops that failed to harvest here, he told the people that "all kinds of fruit trees can be used, and there will be no disaster." Since then, after hundreds of years of sand closure and afforestation, by the middle of Qing Dynasty, the forest park landscape of the old Yellow River has been formed. In order to appreciate Zhu Guoxiang's kindness, Xiajin people built a museum to commemorate it.
According to textual research, the planting period of ancient mulberry trees in the old course of the Yellow River in Xiajin is very long, and the three outstanding historical periods are Yuan, Ming and Qing. Especially in Kangxi 13 of Qing Dynasty, under the instigation of Zhu Guoxiang, the local people set off a high tide of mulberry planting. While planting mulberry trees to control sand, we also vigorously develop sericulture. According to the Book of Songs, Zuo Zhuan and other books, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, sericulture was developed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, among which sericulture in Shandong was the most developed. During the four or five hundred years of Qin and Han dynasties, active foreign trade activities formed the "Silk Road". In the past, there was a saying that "Wan Qi Lu Mao" refers to the silk produced in Shandong at that time. Later, due to many wars, sericulture gradually declined and fluctuated; A hundred years later, the silk industry was depressed. Due to the influence of cotton planting, the sericulture industry as a whole tends to shrink, and mulberry trees gradually change from "leaves" to "fruits". Its fruit is fruity, strawberry-like, juicy and sweet as honey, which is a good product to prolong life. In times of famine, villagers can eat their stomachs to survive hunger.
Zhu Guoxiang, an honest official, is like Jiao, a model of contemporary county party secretary. In order to change the backward appearance of Lankao, Jiao, a good cadre of the Party, led the masses to plant more than 654.38+100,000 buttonwood seedlings on the sandy land that has been raging for more than 300 years. Jiao worked in Lankao for only 475 days and died in the line of duty. However, he explained the true face of party member incisively and vividly. The feelings of the broad masses of people are the simplest. No matter what dynasty, as parents, whoever can care about the sufferings of the masses, serve the people wholeheartedly, benefit one side, be diligent and honest, and strive to do things that benefit the country and the people will always live in the hearts of the people. This is what I got when I stood on the old road of the Yellow River and meditated on the past.
