This time, the writers' group launched a trip to Anji. Although it was a stray fire in July, they could not bear the friendly heart of the group and were invited. At 6: 30 in the morning, a group of 32 people took a tour bus from Zhoushan and arrived in Anji County for more than four hours. Anji is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, especially known as "bamboo". Known as "China Bamboo Township", it is the first national ecological county in China. In Xiao Feng Daozhong written by Gan in the Ming Dynasty, Anji, the hometown of bamboo, was praised: "Sichuan is five miles away, and bamboo is planted in the middle. Eyebrows are blue, clothes are purple and green. The pavilion should be on the water, and the air looks like a gateway. Qian Gu worked hard, worked hard, and I have been embarrassed for this. "
Historical records are my profession. Before we leave, we should know the local situation in Anji. It is said that 1800 years ago, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty (156- 189) wrote according to The Book of Songs? The phrase "peace and happiness" in "No Clothes" gave this land the name "Anji". Anji county covers an area of 1886 square kilometers, with a population of 450,000 and a forest coverage rate of 69.4%. There are nearly10.05 million mu of bamboo forests and 0/0.35 million bamboo plants, ranking third among the top ten bamboo townships in China. Tea production in Anji is very common. According to Tang Lu Yu's Tea Classic, tea in Anji and Wu Kang counties is the top grade in western Zhejiang. Bamboo and bamboo shoots are the specialties of China. Bai Juyi's poem "Eating Bamboo Shoots" says: "This state is a bamboo village, full of bamboo shoots, and mountain people grab the morning market." The poem "this state" refers to Huzhou, and Anji is the most important bamboo-producing county in Huzhou.
There are many fields in Anji Mountain, but few fields. In the old society, people's livelihood depended on bamboo and winter bamboo shoots. If young bamboo shoots are planed, it will be difficult for bamboo to become a forest, which will ruin the people's vitality. Therefore, Anji people are more important than protecting and raising bamboo. According to Tongzhi's "Anji County Records", "Bamboo shoots have been dug, but villagers have no property. Thus, in the 16th year of Qianlong (175 1), gentlemen Wu Hongfan and Jiaqing in the 10th year (1805) repeatedly controlled the county magistrate and the government magistrate to be virtuous, and granted music. As early as 200 years ago (1808), Anji people had already realized the need to protect the natural environment, and set up a constitutional monument at Shuangxikou of Fenghuang Mountain at the junction of Anji, Yuhang and Deqing. Record: "In the thirteenth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (AD 1808), I was in Shuangxikou Village, Fenghuangshan Township." (1994 edition of Anji county annals) So, when I arrived in Anji, there were endless swaying bamboos everywhere, so visiting bamboos was a major task of my trip.
Our destination "Qianlong Hundred Waterfalls" scenic spot is located in Tianhuangping in the mountains of Tianmu Mountain at the southern end of Anji County, adjacent to Lin 'an, and the scenic spot is 20 kilometers away from the county seat. Mount Anji, Tianhuangping Canyon is deep, narrow and long, and the valley is deep. There are thousands of meters of mountains on both sides of Panshan Highway, and there are many strange peaks. Panshan Highway is steep on one side and steep on the other. On the cliff is a bamboo-dancing Wang Yang sea. The bus increased its horsepower along the winding mountain road, and the high and low mountains were covered with hairy and lush bamboos, which were layered and dense, and the spring breeze was fluctuating.
After two mountain tunnels and the first Tianhuangping pumped storage power station in Asia on the hillside, we finally arrived at the "Qianlong Hundred Waterfalls" scenic spot in Daxi Village, Tianhuangping Town. It's already noon. Man is iron and rice is steel. After parking, we first went to a farmhouse restaurant next to a drifting stream for dinner. This restaurant hidden in the mountains has a good business and serves farm dishes. In addition to old tofu and freshwater fish, most of the green game on the table, such as "Bamboo Chicken" and pickled fresh, are made with the taste of bamboo shoots. Although it is not very rich, the delicious food is quite refreshing. According to reports, Anji winter bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots are delicious, which not only contain sugar, protein, fat and cellulose needed by human body, but also contain nine essential amino acids, multivitamins and elements such as phosphorus, iron, calcium and magnesium. Drinking Shaoxing old wine brought by Laozi and Zhuangzi is full of fragrance, and listening to the sound of gurgling streams is also full of interest. Even after drinking four bowls, I gave up.
After dinner, I immediately visited the "Hidden Dragon and Hundred Waterfalls" which covers an area of more than 30 square kilometers in Fiona Fang. "Qianlong Hundred Waterfalls" is located between waterfalls with dense forests, steep cliffs and continuous bamboo forests. The waterfall falls as high as 60 meters, the water color is clear, the sound of water is roaring, and jade is flowing. It is composed of many waterfalls, hence the name "Hundred Waterfalls". It is the largest waterfall group in Zhejiang and is called "the first waterfall valley in northern Zhejiang". Surrounded by Yunshan, the air here is fresh, with flowing water, small bridges, plank roads, promenades and cable bridges, with springs, streams, waterfalls, rocks, vegetation, animals and other natural ecological landscapes as the main body. The scenic spot is rich in natural products, especially the four immortals of Baiwang tea, mountain spring water and Anji hickory and nearly 100 kinds of precious medicinal materials. There are many kinds of wild animals and precious Chinese herbal medicines in the scenic area, and there are nearly 100 species of tree species under state protection. They are famous for elderberry, wild Panax notoginseng and honeysuckle. It is said that Li Shizhen, a famous doctor in Ming Dynasty, came here to collect herbs, and people felt another flavor in it. According to "Anji Zhi", during the ten years of Jiajing, Anji hickory was collected by the imperial court as a tribute, among which "Hidden Dragon and Hundred Waterfalls" hickory was the top grade and became the first choice of the yamen.
After entering the scenic spot, the sound of waterfalls, flowing springs and dragons came from the roadside, and the cliffs on both sides were stacked with obstacles and the peaks were green. It is said that the content of negative ions in the air here exceeds 654.38+ million, which is a natural oxygen bar. But the mountain road next to the gurgling stream was steep, so we climbed a narrow stone road. The bamboo path in the mountains is winding and secluded, which makes people feel that the path is winding, the bamboo steps are continuous and the bamboo rhyme is deep. Into the embrace of nature, wandering in the bamboo sea, step by step, step by step, full of the feeling of "green mountains, clear water and clear air", it is really a kind of enjoyment. Although the summer temperature in the bamboo sea is cool, quiet and elegant, for me who is near flowers, I am taking photos while climbing mountains and watching the scenery, at the Longmen of the Red Pavilion where the rainbow is located. I took a short rest in the bamboo pavilion and immediately went down the mountain.
Near the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain, there is a "Hundred Years Pavilion" built in 2007. The inscription is Shi Bainian (198 1), who served as the village head of Daxi, the head of Fuyu (later changed to He Shan Township and Tianhuangping Town) and the "Party Secretary" of Baishui District during the Republic of China. His descendants invested in the construction to thank the local government and people for their care and the needs of tourism development. It is also a good thing to build bridges and pavilions to benefit the countryside.
