Occupy Jiuqu Bay in Liu Qing,
Deep and thorough as blue.
No one on board can tie it,
The wind moved laterally to Bitan.
This is a poem written by Zhang Zheng, a scholar in Ruzhou in Yuan Dynasty, for "rowing across the water", one of the eight scenic spots in Ruzhou. Reading makes people feel as if they are in a magical and wonderful picture scroll, which deepens my attachment to the mother river Ruhe.
I grew up drinking your water. In order to fulfill my long-cherished wish, I set out from my hometown Ruzhou on a sunny day in May, passing through Yichuan and Songxian, and came to the hinterland of Funiu Mountain to pursue the source of your water.
In the depths of Funiu Mountain, where the peaks overlap, there is a small mountain village called Lishu Street. On stone, it is not as delicate and strange as the rocks in Guilin; Speaking of mountain peaks, it is not as steep as Huashan peaks; Speaking of forests, it is not as deep and dense as Lushan forest; Speaking of spring, it is not as sweet and mellow as Yuquan in Beijing. However, it has a wonderful thing that is not found elsewhere-it is the birthplace and watershed of the tributaries of the Yellow River and Huaihe River. In the north of the village, close to the Truffle Highway, there is a clear stream that keeps flowing all the year round, flowing north to the Yi River, then into the Yellow River, south to the Ruhe River and then into the Huaihe River.
According to legend, once upon a time there was a village girl as handsome as a fairy. She is ingenious, embroidering the flowers as if they were real, which attracted a group of colorful butterflies to fly up and down. She is hardworking, kind and helpful, and everyone in the village loves her very much. She fell in love with a young man in the village. On their wedding day, a rich man in the village sent someone to take away the beautiful village girl and forced her to be a little wife. She insisted on not following, so she set fire to her new house and escaped alone. But she didn't escape far when she heard a shout of killing from behind, and she was about to be caught. As soon as her heart crossed, she jumped on the cliff at the head of the village. Under the cliff is a bottomless deep pool, and a pool of clear water is dyed red by the blood of the village girl.
It thundered at night and the rich man was taken away by the Dragon King of the East China Sea. After the thunder and lightning, there was no rain for several months, and the crops were on the verge of extinction. Suddenly, people found that where the village girl jumped off the cliff, there was a hill as round as a young mother's nipple, with a spring in the middle. Therefore, people call this small mountain spring "nipple spring", saying that it was changed by a dead village girl. The sweet spring water is rippling with crystal ripples, gushing from the nipple, gurgling into the stream and flowing down the river. Spring water, like a silver belt, flows into the dry land and moistens ten thousand mu of fertile land downstream. Since then, the drought and flood in this area have ensured the harvest, and the people have no worries about food and clothing and live and work in peace and contentment. Because the word "milk" in the prefix "milk" and the word "ru" in the river "ru" are homophonic, later generations call the river where nipple spring flows Ruhe.
About 20 kilometers west of Lizi Street, there is a Dingbaoshi village. There is a small river next to the village, which leads directly to Longchiman Nature Reserve. Its downstream meets the stream flowing out of Lishu Street and flows into Ruzhou through Ruyang. My countryman Mr. Feng Tuanbin and I walked through the canyon facing the river. There are all kinds of rocks in the canyon, such as houses, cows and eggs. Especially those large and small, round and clean stones are even more eye-catching. It must be the result of years of being surrounded by mountain torrents and grinding each other!
No wonder we Ruzhou people love to say the proverb "Ruhe stone-light egg", which seems really reasonable. On both sides of the canyon, there are steep rocks that go straight into the clouds. Some of them are like grinning tigers, some are like eagles spreading their wings, and some are like beautiful women with high combs, giving people endless reverie. There are many flowing springs and waterfalls in the canyon, the mysterious Bitan Lake, among which there is a rare animal giant salamander in Funiu Mountain. Some waterfalls, flying down, sound like thunder; Some are drooping like beads and filled with smoke; Some pools are as blue as the sky, some are as green as jade, and some are crystal clear. In some places, waterfalls are layered, pools are layered, and waterfalls and pools are spectacular.
We stepped on a faint winding path and climbed halfway up Longchiman Nature Reserve at the corner of the landscape. Looking back at the canyon, it is already the abyss of cloud transpiration. There is no rushing river under our feet, only a gurgling stream; In some places, I heard the sound of water, but I couldn't see the stream. The original water flowed into the depths of the crevices. Listen to the rhyme, ding-dong, ding-dong, like a girl hiding in the dark fiddling with the strings!
Longchi is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The main peak, White Iron Turtle, is 2114m above sea level. Its southern slope belongs to the birthplace of the Baihe River, which flows through the Hanshui River and flows into the Yangtze River. The north slope is the birthplace of Rushui. Longchiman Nature Reserve, with a total area of 3 188 hectares, is a natural secondary forest. According to the engineer of the forest farm, during steelmaking in 1958, the virgin forest here was destroyed, and most of the wood was cut down, but it could not be transported out and had to rot. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, it was declared as a nature reserve, and deforestation was strictly prohibited. The vast number of forestry workers have done a lot of work to protect forests and created a large number of new forests; They also artificially made tens of thousands of bird's nests and placed them on trees in forest areas to attract beneficial birds.
Now the total timber storage here is about 430,000 cubic meters. According to their 198 1 year survey, there are 1500 woody plants in Longchi Mountain. There are more than 600 kinds of medicinal plants; 48 species of oil plants; 38 species in starch plants; More than 50 kinds of industrial raw material factories; There are 38 species of mammals, among which the South China tiger and leopard are the most precious animals under national first-class protection. There are 133 species of birds and animals, such as mandarin duck, white-breasted jade carving, golden carving, red-billed blue magpie, spoon chicken, loose duck and peaceful bird. Since forestry workers began to attract beneficial birds, most of these birds have been attracted from other places. The trees here are pine, cypress, maple, lacquer, birch, camphor, nanmu, hemlock, Abies fargesii, yew, ginkgo, manchurian ash, February flower and so on. Looking around, the trees on the mountain are lush, the sun is shining, Lin Tao is singing, birds are singing and warblers are turning. In many places, the dung of antelope and wild deer remains, and the footprints left by wolves and wild boars can be seen everywhere. This mysterious and rich forest is not only a treasure house of green, but also a good material for poetry and painting.
We were walking when it began to rain. Suddenly, smoke enveloped and water droplets flew away. But the mountains are blue and sunny. After the clouds on the mountainside cleared away, a rainbow crossed the mountain stream, and Longtan under the bright sun was like a beautiful woman who had just bathed, more graceful and moving. Fragrant wild flowers and green leaves, rich fresh and intoxicating air, are particularly charming.
Yingshanhong is more charming and colorful; Violets sway with lavender flowers, which are fragrant and fragrant. Some flowers are like velvet hydrangeas, some are like shiny hosta, some are fragrant, some are white, yellow, blue, black, green, red, colorful and dazzling. This is simply a natural garden. Ah! Longchiman is really a beauty "hidden in the boudoir"!
We continued to climb the crystal dew. On a cliff, the gurgling stream disappeared, and only a string of pearl-like water drops rolled down from the cliff, merged into a thin trickle and plunged into the dense bush.
The air here is My Sweetie, as moist and fresh as mint honey. We drink it in spring, which is cool and sweet, refreshing and exhausting. When we climbed around the cliff to the top of the mountain, I saw clouds like veils and white satin rushing past our feet. In the distance, there are mountains, overlapping peaks and mountains, and the clouds in the mountains are endless and varied. There is a small and exquisite ancient temple on the top of the mountain. There is a pool in front of the temple. There is water in the pool, and there is a finely carved stone faucet by the pool.
It is said that Longchiman was originally named "Longshan". In the year of drought, the sun was like fire, thousands of miles of fire, thousands of wells and rivers in the square garden dried up, and the earth cracked. In order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, people built the Dragon King Temple on the mountain, dug the Dragon Pool, and flocked to burn incense and kowtow. The dragon king was affected, shook his scales and had sex. Overnight, the ditch was full of river and the Longtan was full of clear water until it overflowed to the foot of Longshan Mountain. Since then, the mountain has been renamed Longchiman. Ah! What a beautiful and moving myth!
Tracing back to your water also reveals the true meaning of "a drop of water can become a sea". Yes, isn't it this string of water drops, confluence springs, holding streams, rolling waterfalls, holding shahe, kissing Huaihe River, rushing into the sea, and gathering into thousands of blue waves?
