Every time I go out, I always rush through Guazhou. There seems to be no reason to stop without looking for an opportunity.
I am very happy to receive the news that the Writers Association is touring Guazhou this time. Needless to say, this must be a full and enjoyable trip. Usually confined to trivial matters and work, I can only look at the scenery and sigh. In fact, I am looking forward to such a trip. Even in Linxian county, such a trip is close to poetry and distance.
On the morning of September 8, there were more than 40 people in our collection group. In the early morning light, I set off happily.
After more than an hour's journey, I soon entered the border of Guazhou.
The most obvious feeling is cold and windy.
When the car passes through the ten thousand mu ecological forest in Guazhou, the lush trees on both sides are very eye-catching. I can't help sighing in my mind that greening is really good.
I also saw a huge billboard on the side of the road, which said: Clear water and lush mountains are priceless assets.
Then enter the famous Xuanzang Avenue in Guazhou, which is wide, clean, beautiful and quiet. It is also a good place to fall in love.
There are trees, flowers and water here. Everywhere is green, surrounded by clear water and flowers. Next to the vast Xuanzang Square, there is also a vast Xuanzang Lake.
Walking here is similar to the Danghe customs line in Dunhuang, which makes people feel like they are in a painting or a landscape. At that time, many local people were dancing square dance happily.
Time was too tight. We took a look at Xuanzang Avenue and got on the bus to visit Xuanzang Buddhist Sutra Museum. It is said that this is the only museum with the theme of promoting the spirit of Xuanzang.
Standing in front of the museum, I feel a little guilty I feel that I have neglected something that I shouldn't have ignored for so many years. Guazhou and Dunhuang are actually one step away, and I didn't like it either, which disappointed China's famous hometown of Cynomorium.
Remember who said that architecture is solidified music. Looking at the magnificent Xuanzang Buddhist Sutra Museum, I vaguely feel that there is a sonorous, resonant and vicissitudes symphony flowing in my ear.
Walking into it, the first thing is the standing statue of Xuanzang. A firm expression, look forward. Hold a mord in your left hand and make a blessing suit in your right hand.
Then tell his stories and legends one by one in several units. His growth experience and activity footprint. Legendary stories related to him. For example, accepting a disciple as a teacher. Cross Hulu River at night. Breaking into Mohe Yan House alone and so on. Visiting the whole museum is like revisiting Master Xuanzang's life story, and he was also moved by his tenacious feat of learning from the West.
Then we went to Zhangzhi Cultural and Creative Industry Park. Zhang Zhi is a famous calligrapher in history and is known as the "sage of grass". Here we see the elegant and elegant champion sticker of the stone carving scroll. I also saw the bronze statue of Zhang Zhi, whose clothes were fluttering and his hands were like a pen in the rafters. Standing there silently, I seem to smell a faint ink.
If we say that in Xuanzang Museum, we hear a grand symphony. So here, echoing in the ear, are ancient and meaningful mountains and rivers.
With everyone's footsteps, we came to the memorial hall of marked army again. The mood is also very heavy. We saw precious photos, precious objects and sculptures of battle scenes. The strong impact of the real scene really makes people feel that a happy life is hard to come by. While remembering the martyrs, I am also grateful.
When I walked out of the Red Army Memorial Hall, it seemed that there were magnificent red songs echoing behind me …
After that, we drove to the legendary location of the son of the earth.
Children of the Earth was written by Professor Dong Shubing of Tsinghua University. This statue is a treasure, with a length of 15m, a height of 4.3m and a width of 9m. Looking around, there is a sleepy baby crawling on the vast Gobi desert. The earth is a bed and the sky is a quilt. The baby's delicate skin is in sharp contrast with the rough Gobi, giving people a wonderful feeling. It seems that the child is tired of playing and just fell asleep. He belongs to this land, not artificially created. At that moment, the huge quiet pavement came, which also made me deeply understand what is the beauty of sculpture.
The last stop is the famous world heritage-Cynomorium songaricum. The city has been abandoned for hundreds of years, but it is still the largest ancient capital site. There are many touching stories circulating here. For example, Xue's soldiers were trapped in the city of Suoyang. Zhang Shousheng wisely withdrew the Tubo soldiers. Lock the sun and send the children. At night, a sandstorm hit Suoyang City. The story of Huang Ge and Guo Hong and so on.
Led by the commentator, we entered the city step by step. A teacher in Guazhou joked that when he entered Suoyang City, he became a city dweller. Cause bursts of laughter. Hehe, so I'm also a city dweller.
What you see is only the vicissitudes of loess walls and a large number of lush plants. It's a long way from the inner city to the outer city, and you can imagine its prosperity in those days. Walking on the sandy path, you can always see the dry and blackened Cynomorium songaricum on the roadside.
Cynomorium songaricum grows out of season, grows most vigorously in the coldest winter and withers in summer.
Here, we also saw the only Millennium ancient willow in the vast city of Suoyang, which actually grew luxuriantly. The commentator pointed to the willow tree and said, Look, this is the legendary tree that saved the little bitch. You must be a tree god at this age. I couldn't help looking at it a few more times.
Under a collapsed city wall, I also saw a radium stone the size of a cantaloupe, even. The commentator said it was one of the weapons in the cold weapon era. I remember seeing it in the scene about the war.
When standing on the observation deck in the southwest corner, that feeling is even more shocking. The field of vision is wide, and you can see the panoramic view of Suoyang City. Imagine that Xue is trapped in Suoyang City. Is he standing here looking for reinforcements? Can't help but think of Wang Changling's "Join the Army":
There is a dark snow-capped mountain in Qinghai, with long white clouds and a lonely city looking at Yumenguan.
Yellow sand wears golden armor in hundreds of battles, but the loulan is not returned.
The lonely city in the poem refers to Suoyang City.
Don't come to Cynomorium, thinking that there is only Cynomorium in Cynomorium. When I came to Suoyang City, I found that every stone here has a legend, every grass has a story, every wind carries historical information, and every cloud contains poetry.
There is also an abandoned temple called Ta 'er Temple next to Suoyang City. Xuanzang once gave lectures here and took Shipanto as a disciple. After thousands of years of wind and sand baptism, the once prosperity has fallen, and now it has solidified into a sad frontier poem in the sunset.
I came out of Ta 'er Temple and went to the management office of Suoyangcheng.
A literary association of "Drunk Guazhou, Ancient County of Han and Tang Dynasties" is in full swing here.
There are classic stories told by friends in Guazhou, Tao Di played by friends in Dunhuang, poetry reading and saxophone playing!
Scene after scene, scene after scene, affectionate and wonderful.
Finally, in a friendly and warm atmosphere and warm applause, the fraternity ended perfectly, leaving people wanting more.
The only regret is that time is too tight to go to Yulin Cave in Guazhou. Yulin Grottoes are also famous Buddhist shrines, and are also called sister grottoes with Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.
At the fraternity, I also met Wu Wanjun, a native writer in Guazhou. He was once famous for writing a series of novels by vegetable dealers. We met at the 20 13 Yumen Literature Seminar. It's great to see you again. I talked about the situation after I left and the creation of other writers and poets, which was very touching.
Evening came quietly, and we shook hands with our friends in Guazhou. In the gorgeous sunset, we returned home.
On the way, everyone talked about their impressions, almost laughed all the way, and got home unconsciously in the story.
Looking back on the experience of a day trip, I feel that Guazhou is not just windy. The melons here are very sweet, the Cynomorium here is very good, the girls here are very beautiful, the young men here are very handsome, the people here are very enthusiastic, there are many historical sites here, and there are many poets and writers here. It is also a city with profound cultural heritage. Come to Dunhuang, don't miss Guazhou!
