Cangshan's stones are famous at home and abroad. Guo Moruo has a poem "Ode to Marbles": "The three pagodas are high and ancient, and the year of thinking about chastity. Cangshan is full of charm and moon, and strange stones spit clouds and smoke. Outside the heart, between the elbow and armpit. Tiangong manpower generation, overseas competition. "
Cangshan gave birth to marble, which is the soul of Cangshan. This magnificent stone is found all over the world, and Dali is the most wonderful and blooms early. Therefore, all these strange stones in the world are called "marble", and "Dali" is also famous for its stones.
Dear friends, our cruise ship is moving forward, and now it's time to introduce Erhai Lake itself.
Erhai Lake, known as Kunming Pool, Hull River and Ye Yuze in ancient times; Erhai Lake is named because it looks like a human ear. It is 42 kilometers long from north to south, 3-9 kilometers wide from east to west, with a coastline of 1 17 kilometers and an area of more than 250 square kilometers. The average water depth is 10.5 m, the deepest is 210.5 m, and the storage capacity is 2.88 billion cubic meters, ranking second among lakes in Yunnan and seventh among freshwater lakes in China.
The south of Erhai Lake is injected by Miju River, and the eighteen streams in Cangshan in the southwest, Boluo River in the east, Caihe River in the south and Xi 'er River in the south are the only outlets, which flow around the Lancang River through Yangbi Red. Erhai Lake is a tectonic lake with many cliffs in the east and west, and sandbars in the north and southwest.
As you can see, Erhai Lake is clear, just like flawless jade, so beautiful. It is welcoming guests and friends from afar with a broad mind. Erhai Lake is a famous plateau lake in China, which was recorded as early as the Han Dynasty.
"Erhai Moon" is one of the four famous scenic spots in Dali. If you go boating on Erhai Lake on the fifteenth night of the lunar calendar, the moon is particularly bright and round, and the scenery is charming: in the water, the moon is round like a wheel, and the floating light shakes the gold; In the sky, the jade mirror hangs high, clear and streamer, bathing in Erhai Lake. Looking at it, water and sky are the same, and you can't tell whether Tianyue fell into the sea or the moon rose to heaven. Why is the moon so bright in Erhai Lake? The scientific conclusions are as follows: first, the water quality of Erhai Lake is particularly pure, with high transparency and strong reflectivity; Second, there is less dust on the surface of Erhai Lake, the air is fresh, the water and sky set each other off, and the moonlight is brighter. In addition, the famous Erhai Moon is a white Cangshan snow reflected in Erhai Lake, which complements the beautiful Erhai Moon and constitutes a great spectacle of Yincang Jade Er.
The four famous scenic spots in Dali, which are connected with Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon, are Shangguan Flower and Xiaguan Wind. The dam between Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain is a long and narrow alluvial plain. During Nanzhao period, a small town was built on the north and south sides of this narrow strip to guard against raids and safeguard the security of the capital. The north is called Longshouguan, also known as Shangguan; The south is called Longweiguan, which is now Xiaguan. The so-called Shangguan flower refers to the "ten-mile strange tree" in Shangguan. This flower was originally in Heshan Temple, Shaping Street, Shangguan. Its flowers are as big as lotus flowers, and hundreds of them bloom every year. The fragrance is overflowing and the tourists are like clouds. Therefore, this tree has a hard shell and can be used as pearls, so this flower is also called "pearl flower". Later, this flower disappeared. A few years ago, it was said that someone found it again in Cangshan forest. Xiaguan wind refers to the wind blowing into Xiaguan in Xi 'er basin, which occurs all year round, especially in winter and spring. You can feel the presence of Shimonoseki wind as soon as you enter Shimonoseki. Almost every day, he roars, sweeps the streets, pulls up his clothes and uncovers his hat, which makes Shimonoseki the nickname of "windy city".
There are four famous scenic spots in Dali. It is easy to remember and interesting to string them together with a poem: Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flower and Xiaguan wind blowing on the crown; Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow. Speaking of which, please look at the embroidered Baotou of our Bai girl. Don't underestimate it, it embodies the four famous sights of Dali. Please see: the breeze is blowing, and the white tassels in the ears are fluttering with the wind, showing the wind in Shimonoseki; The colorful flowers in Baotou represent the flowers in Shangguan; The white velvet silk head at the top looks like snow in Cangshan from a distance; The whole Baotou is as beautiful as the crescent moon on Erhai Lake.
