The beauty of Chagan Lake lies in autumn water. Qiushui is like a quiet and elegant young woman, staring at you with deep eyes. When you arrive at the lake in the morning, you will see the mist as thin as a veil and suspended on the vast lake. The Baili Canal introduced into the lake from Songhua River slowed down the flow rate, making the lake calm and clear at this time. The sediment has been washed out, and the fish and aquatic plants in the water are clearly visible. In summer, the lake that is as fat as oil becomes very thin. It was the fish and shrimp in the lake and the strong smell of Pu that almost sucked up its nutrition. The lake turned from hot in summer to warm in autumn, and most of the fish swam to the depths of the lake, so fishermen were too lazy to wait here. With the solemnity of autumn day by day, the tourists in the lake are sparse. Old people, enthusiasts, painters, photographers and tenants should come to the lake to stay at this time. Murray is not swimming in the lake, but looking back at life quietly.
The beauty of Chagan Lake lies in the aquatic plants. Qiuhu Puwei is ripe. After the light frost, the cattail grass is still lush, and a deep part is still in the water, but the cattail stick in my arms is orange. According to fishermen, the picked cattail sticks can be used as incense sticks to drive away mosquitoes and flies, and one cattail stick can be lit for several hours. Now some places use cattail as mattress, and the market is very promising. But it is no longer a hand-woven straw mattress in the past, but a mattress covered with cloth after mechanical cutting, soaking and compression, which is thick, warm and fragrant. In autumn, reeds are more beautiful and colorful than cattails, with numerous branches and clusters of pale yellow leaves, just like an actress in Tibetan dance who opens her arms and bows her waist to offer Hada. The white reed flowers, scattered softly in the wind, danced out of the sea of Wang Yang like a steaming fire. The slender reed stalks are shoulder to shoulder, and the bamboo forests are arranged in a new way. When the lake freezes, these frosted cattails and reeds will be cut down by fishermen. They have completed a cycle of life, it is a pity to cut them off, but in order to fight for this body and let new life sprout again next spring, it will be relieved to think about it. There are water chestnuts and lotus flowers in the lake. After the flowering period, there are still lovely leaves floating on the lake of water chestnut, which are new and green. Dewdrops slide around on it. Under the round leaves is a slender vine, which is connected with the lake bed. At this time, the obese water chestnut and the black one have matured. It's just that fishermen are too busy now and farmers by the lake have no leisure, so people are unwilling or don't remember to pick these water chestnuts. I remember when I was a child, at the Nadam convention, there were always some small vendors who boiled water chestnuts in half and sold them in coarse porcelain bowls. The children dug out the pulp in the water chestnut shell with the sharp point of the water chestnut bending slightly inward and sent it to the mouth, full of fragrance. The lotus seeds are ripe, and the fishermen are unwilling to pick them up. Together with the fresh lotus roots in the mud, they are left scattered in the lake like the original ecology and spread freely.
The beauty of Chagan Lake lies in waterfowl. Chagan Lake in autumn is the kingdom of waterfowl. From the end of August to the beginning of 10, hundreds of thousands of migratory birds completed their seasonal residence in Shengshui, Northland, and multiplied in this way, gathering in the lake from all directions. Director Peng You, who has a good knowledge of waterfowl, told me that there are nearly 100 kinds of waterfowl such as swan, red-crowned crane, white crane, grey crane, heron, stork and goose, as well as wild duck, albatross, red-billed gull, cormorant, crested chicken and purple waterfowl, among which only one kind is wild duck. For a time, the Puwei used to receive guests in the lake seemed to have insufficient capacity. They are noisy, competing and playing. While rejoicing in the occupation of the holy lake, they took the time to replenish energy here and plan the route and trivia of returning to the south together. When the canoe flew by, thousands of waterfowl surrounded the lake in horror and hugged it like a dark cloud. This is the best season to know birds, know birds and love birds in the lake. By the middle of 10, these waterfowl disappeared overnight-probably before dawn, for fear of disturbing fishermen, and even before farewell, they flew to the south, the warm and humid south. Although this is their "Summer Palace" and their real hometown and birthplace (for chicks born that year, going south may be more exciting), they will fly back with the trade winds in the south next year. However, they are used to being together, and they are always sad when they are far away.
The beauty of Chagan Lake lies in the fish in it. In autumn, the fish in the lake are also very fat. South Lake, because of the dense aquatic plants in the lake, the grass-headed fish and green-rooted fish there grow very fast and have a high grade, which is difficult to see in the market. Fishing in Nanhu in summer, I heard the sound of "eating" and "eating", which was made by grass carp when it was greedy; Hearing the sound of "crash" and "crash", it was Qinggen who was eating. Green root is called toothed fish by fishermen and likes to eat shellfish such as snails and mussels very much. Therefore, there is a convex groove like a perforated bed behind the gum of herring, and the bone is naturally extremely hard. When fishermen eat herring, they must first take out this bone and make it into a small ornament, which is said to ward off evil spirits. The meat of herring is white, delicate and delicious, and it is a good product in the lake. During the winter fishing every year, the green roots of Nanhu Lake will be robbed as soon as they come out of the water. The big one weighs 40 to 50 kilograms and is 1 to 2 meters long. One kilogram is more than 100 yuan. North Lake, like a sea lake, is rich in water, and silver carp, bighead carp, carp and shrimp are all excellent products. According to Yan Laisuo, director of the Development Zone, most of the newly introduced whitebait, mandarin fish, sturgeon, tilapia and some ornamental fish are planted in Beihu Lake. In particular, the bighead carp in Beihu Lake, commonly known as chubby head fish, is a national certified green organic food. This is not only because Chagan Lake is a living water lake, but also because the water is alkaline, which makes fish taste good and can adjust the acid-base balance of human body. In the 1990s, smart Harbin people took a fancy to the chubby fish in Chagan Lake. They enjoyed the scenery of the sacred lake and the delicious food on earth, so they tried their best to introduce the chubby fish in Chagan Lake to Harbin. Whenever the sun sets and fishing boats sing late, teams of working boats rush back to the harbor and are surrounded by vendors in Harbin. They sell for more than ten yuan per catty, and now they sell for thirty or forty yuan. Before the Spring Festival, the demand is still in short supply, so we need to ask acquaintances to keep some. During the winter fishing, crowds surged on the lake, cars shuttled like boats, and the holiday heat wave transpiration in the ice crystal snow country. Throw a net down, ranging from 10 thousand Jin to 20 thousand Jin The chubby fish weighing twenty or thirty kilograms can't wait to be put into storage, and even the muddy fish with water are snapped up by tourists waiting on the ice. I got off the net at five or six in the morning and can't put it away until the afternoon. The patience of tourists is awesome.
The most beautiful thing in Chagan Lake in autumn is fishermen. From the release of fry in spring, to the management and protection in summer, and then to autumn, I saw that the fish in the lake became so fat and big that the whole lake was full of fish and shrimp. At this time, fishermen began to clean up the winter net and prepare for winter fishing. Tired from work, it is very interesting for you to listen to fishermen chatting with each other. What loach breathes through the skin and intestines? Mullets will lay eggs in mussels, and old fish will hibernate ... Some film and television works, poems and songs, photography, calligraphy and painting works that show them have also entered the harvest season. With the development of culture, the unique beauty of Chagan Lake is gradually understood by more people in the world.
