Enthusiastic netizen, I have never seen the beauty of blue come and go in such a torrent!
When I stood on the roadside of the rock, I saw the light blue river rippling away from my feet, and I saw the dark green river of money flowing towards me. At the intersection of beautiful blue, Jinluan Mountain is like a dragon drawing water, lying majestically between the two waters. The splendid Taoist architecture of the Qing Dynasty and the newly built ladders going up the mountain are just like the mysterious and beautiful wings of the dragon. On both sides of the river, there are rows of stilted buildings with white walls and black tiles, half floating on the water, half lying on the mountain, half covered by green trees, and half with wooden pole guardrails.
This is Jiahe Town in Yunxi, which is hidden in the mountains and unknown to people!
This is Jiahe Town, which is not Xiangxi but looks like Xiangxi, and is not Phoenix but looks like Phoenix!
Jiahe Town, which is adjacent to the Han River, has a history of more than 1,400 years since the establishment of the county in the Western Wei Dynasty. The ancients established counties, counties, forts and passes here. In the era when there was no land transportation, Jiahe Town became a pearl of water transportation. The waterway here reaches Hanzhong in the west, Chang'an in the north, and Wuhan in the south. In the millennium era of farming civilization, a beautiful Qinchu Xiongguan Pass stood in the beautiful water. , becoming a prosperous place for commodity trade between north and south China.
Jiahe Town is adjacent to the Qinling Mountains in the north. The Han River and Qianqian River are like two beautiful bare arms of a woman, gently wrapping around her wrist from the east, west and south. The mountains borrow the beauty of the water, and the water borrows the majesty of the mountains. Jiahe Pass has become a wonder in the world. Staring infatuatedly at the beautiful scenery of Jiahe River, I wondered why so many literati and poets in ancient times were able to write eternal masterpieces facing the Han River. For example, Du Mu's "Han River" in the Tang Dynasty: White gulls are flying in the water, the green is all green, and the depth of spring is good for dyeing clothes. People who come from the south to the north grow old, and the long setting sun sends fishing boats home. For example, Li Shangyin's "Hanjiang", Song Zhiwen's "Crossing the Hanjiang", and "Hanguang", "Jianjia", "Guanju" and so on in the "Book of Songs". From these ancient beautiful poems, it is not difficult for us to see Come to the customs and charm of the people who live and thrive in the Han River Basin.
Now, Jiahe Town has put these ancient poems in the form of stone scrolls, one by one on an elegant antique street.
Jiahe, an ancient town on the water has been popular here for thousands of years!
In 1991, I stayed overnight in a stilted building beside the Xiangxi River in Shennongjia. Further afield, I also read about Diaojiaolou in Shen Congwen's "Border Town". When I stayed overnight in the Diaojiaolou in Xiangxi, I seemed to hear the homesick harp music of the Xiangxi woman from the desert six thousand miles away; when I read about Diaojiaolou in "Border Town", I seemed to hear the hammer-coated raccoon girl. The women of Xiangxi who were washing spread their melancholy songs on the shallow and light surface of the Tuojiang River.
Today, when I walk in the rows of brand-new stilted buildings with Huizhou architectural style in Jiahe Town, when I walk in the Jiahe River with green bamboo poles and spring willows, While walking through the ancient streets, I had to turn my admiring eyes to Zou Longquan again and again.
It has been more than ten years since Zou Longquan graduated from university, and he has been the mayor and secretary of Jiahe Town for six or seven years. The cultural secretary and mayor is now determined to build Jiahe Town into the "No. 1 Cultural Town in Han River" and the "Phoenix City in Northwest Hubei". The economy of Jiahe Town is not prosperous at the moment, and the annual fiscal revenue of the entire Yunxi County is only 150 million yuan. You can imagine the economic constraints of a township. The annual fiscal revenue of many counties and cities in Tangshan and Langfang in Hebei Province that I have visited is 3 billion, 4 billion, or even more than 5 billion! Yunxi is not even as good as others. But Zou Longquan, a native of Yunxi, is not discouraged or waiting. Every day he leads the Jiahe people to pursue development in a down-to-earth and romantic way: building an antique street, rebuilding the majestic Jiahe Pass, building villages with stilted houses, and restoring ancient Taoist temples... …He wants to create a cultural, romantic, and tourist-worthy Xinjiahe!
In addition to founding, he often used his own money to support poor and widowed elderly people and students who had no money to go to school...
Zou Longquan loved Yunxi, and he wrote many stories about Yunxi Lyrics, such as: "To the west of the clouds, there is the place where the rainbow rises. The wind blows from the vast Qinling Mountains, and the water flows from the ancient Han River. The spring scenery of Liuzhou City, the gallery of Wulong River, the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl is sung in the Tianhe River. Peach Blossoms and Flowing Waters , the meandering river, and my beautiful little wooden house. No matter where I drift, I can't say goodbye to the reverie in my dream! The west of the colorful clouds, my Yunxi, my hometown."
< p>How affectionate, how romantic, how ideal. This song is now widely sung in Yunxi.Zou Longquan, who is calm and unsmiling in life, loves, writes and creates silently and romantically. Zou Longquan's birthplace was in Shangjin City, Yunxi. Shangjin has been called "Liuzhou City" since ancient times. Before I went to Yunxi, I read his words "Shangjin Liu". "The green trees grow on the willows, and the erratic spring forms itself." It's so beautiful! I told Zou Longquan on the phone: This time when we go to Yunxi, we will be taken to your hometown to see Liu!
Zou Longquan, who loves willows, used his power as a "town official" to buy thousands of willow trees from Shangjin and Yunxi and planted them in the ancient streets and alleys of Jiahe Town. , riverside, embankment.
When we arrived, Zou Longquan pointed at the spring willows swaying gracefully in the spring breeze from time to time: "Look there, the willow tree! Look there, the willow tree!"
When we were leaving Jiahe Town, Zou Longquan asked us to leave a message. Feeling anxious, it became a limerick and was written to him -
The beautiful scenery of Jiahe River
The mountains are green and the water is long
There is Zou Longquan
< p> Sitting in the middle of the waterGood at writing and writing
And planting willows
The most beautiful small town in the world
The most beautiful is "Little Phoenix" ”
My poem is not satisfactory, I just want to wish the incomparably beautiful Jiahe Town in my heart!
