Earlier, when the stove was lit at home, "birch bark" was used for ignition. What people call "birch bark" goes to the coal mine timber factory to find it. There are mountains of logs, pines, poplars and birch trees here, which smell of rosin. People use all kinds of tools to peel the birch from the big bowl. This is waste and can be taken home.
There is a Genting Mountain in loufan county, where there are many birch trees. I happened to go to loufan county for a week's business training. According to the local people, the scenery of Genting Mountain not far away is very good, so I climbed the mountain with my colleagues.
Just entering the mountain, I feel a little desolate and familiar. Genting Mountain is not much different from the mountains outside my hometown. It's just that there are only locust trees and elms in the mountains of my hometown, and the species are quite monotonous. There are many tree species on Genting Mountain, including broad-leaved forest and coniferous forest. When I entered the mountainous area, the scenery became beautiful. I only saw one or two birch trees growing alone in the shade of the hillside. This is the first time I have seen a live birch tree.
Along the steps paved by the workers who developed the scenic spots, we happily began to climb Genting. A piece of birch forest with a thickness of more than ten centimeters swings with the summer wind. We stared at them, and they welcomed everyone. Waves of directionless autumn wind are blowing, and I seem to hear them welcoming us.
Not far away, the mountain road is getting steeper and steeper. Fortunately, the local people are very careful, and the mountaineering road is well built. As long as you have enough endurance, capping is no problem. This is no longer the birch forest, but the birch forest of the whole mountain. They are getting thicker and thicker, and some are more than 40 cm.
There is a man climbing a tree, climbing up from this tree and jumping on that tree. I was so surprised that my colleagues kept shouting and attracted the attention of many tourists. These trees look as kind as old friends I haven't seen for years. I held them and he smiled, as if expecting me to see them next time.
A particularly stout birch actually turned black. Someone asked inexplicably, "Who knows why this tree is black?"
A colleague said, "Part of it has dried up. This is the trace left by the ranger sawing off the dry part. That is to say, it was hit by lightning fire and turned black after burning. It's okay now. Removing the dry part will ignite the green of life. "
The wind on the top of the mountain is very strong, and a gust of mountain wind blows my clothes. I buckled them all. Colleagues shouted loudly, facing the sky, facing the mountains and facing the birch forest. I seem to own Genting Mountain and birch forest.
At the top of the mountain in late autumn, the wind is cold. Fearing that I would catch a cold, we persuaded each other to hurry down the mountain. It's easier to go up than down. Take a road that local people often take. This road is rugged and dangerous, so it is impossible to walk. We climbed the slope under the ditch, which greatly shortened the journey down the mountain, although it was hard.
When going down the mountain, the weather changed suddenly, the wind was blowing hard and the clouds covered the top. It seems that there will be a rainstorm soon. We came to a farmhouse at the foot of the mountain and found a clean place to sit down. Ordered a plate of fried potato shreds, a pot of jiaozi, a plate of fried shrimp with Fenhe leek, a cold salad, a plate of fried chicken, a bundle of beer, and four people ate and sheltered from the rain.
It rained for about half an hour, then stopped and it cleared up. I looked back at Genting Mountain when I left. The mountain is shrouded in clouds, only the vague treetops and the general outline of the mountain can be seen, and then take a closer look at the beautiful birch trees.
In this primitive mountain forest, there are not many human traces. With the popularization of the concept that clear water and green mountains are priceless, the land of the motherland will be more colorful.
