Yellow Qiankun Bay
Xiongqi changing the Yellow River in order to bend known to have nine reputation. In fact, in its 5464 kilometers of the process, far more than 9? But Chinese people are used to represent characters with just over nine. Among the Yellow River Tai Guaiwan, the Po of the most beautiful, most beautiful, most feel a sense of history and culture, when the number of the universe, Shaanxi Yanchuan Bay County has.
Bay has long seen the pictures of heaven and earth, but also want to see it as early as the style may have no chance. First, chores ridden not spare time (of course, but also in the mood), the second is the traffic inconvenience (far away from the main roads, impassable rainy day).
This year's National Day holiday, to be Yanchuan County Deputy Magistrate Lee's support, so that his driver Xiao Yang master a trip with me.
Car out of Yanchuan County, along the under Qingjian Henan. On the road under construction, here is a national West-East lines, the workers saw a long deep trench dug in the ground, and then planted thick solid natural gas pipeline to go, because it is dirt road, vehicles, stirring up the dust cover days, blocks out the sun, both before and after a few meters from blurred.
The stop and go east to west to hide, and then walk about 8 kilometers, the river came to a place called the Ma family, there are three forks, and Xiao Yang, said: The road to the east extension of the water off in the middle of the road could have been to the mound, A few days ago the rain could be way off landslides, and now can only walk from the west. So, we left Qingjian River, Po Shan Road on the west. Vehicles in the ditch and on the spiral, while on the climb up the Peak. Everywhere you the distance, in the Loess Plateau into the eyes of the scenery to make it vertical and horizontal rolling hilly from the foot of the mountain shop to the distance, deep ravines, surface broken lines cross, such as changes in the human brain as a rich and complex, giving visual mess that feeling. Loess Plateau, the mountains do not see a little high and steep and lofty, it ■ may be real and solid to open your heart lapel, its naked and forthright they make you feel close to random.
Two hours later, he drove to the simple end of the road. Is that the West coast of the Yellow River at the end of a tall hills on three sides are steep slopes, and only one trail into the. This is the location of soil Gang Xiang, a short 100 meters long street cross the hill, people squatting in front of the sun a few small shops, faction quiet comfortable look. Our arrival, in addition to stirring up a while floating dust, and the atmosphere of no change. After I get off, took out his camera ready to take pictures, they are only a boom and dispersed. Disturbed their peaceful life, I feel a little bit uneasy.
In the township government rest, drink tea, go to heaven and earth Bay inquire about road conditions, mayor said happily: "Your luck is good, road trip miles. A few days ago was also raining, do not pass up and down. I'll give a small way the village mayor Chenghai make a phone call, you have lived in his house this evening bar. " car back off by one kilometer, and then left the road, cis-1 soil pavement to the east of the Yellow River valley slide down. Seems to be temporary as the mountain road dug up, and in some places in the hill and the hill junction, just enough car by two wheels on either side is a cliff. My eyes look straight ahead, not left to the right care to see, to leave all that to the driver. Fortunately, Xiao Yang has extensive mountain master driving experience, he firmly the name of the steering wheel, do not reveal the slightest tension.
From the mound to the universe Bay, only 15 km, we have to go for a full hour. Few pedestrians are basically slopes in remote places. Had finally seen the women in front of a hurry to get somewhere, and asking for blocking car, stopped down and put on her. That the children of women on the reading in the rural upper primary, she rented a house next to the school for the children to cook. Every Sunday, her time off to go home to take care of what. Often on foot, one-way five hours round trip a day needed. Occasionally, they could meet the farmers on a donkey cart to the village to buy something, you can easily take months.
18:30, I finally stood in the universe Bay yatou. At this time, the sun had slipped up the mountain, no light folding-yiu, mountain become ever clearer. In the dark period before the view is unusually soft and warm. I clearly see that the front of the Yellow River Po had a "S"-shaped large Bay, Wanli hidden in two small villages, one side of the river Wye village, Shanxi, Shaanxi, one side of the V-yi Kawamura. The first is called heaven and earth Bay Road Bay, opposite the River Wye village like a huge round gourd tied there, gourd on the slopes, caves, forests full of life. When dinner is done, there are streaks of pale smoke Piaoqi, a burst of people have vaguely heard shouting dog barking. Gourd is surrounded by a circular deep canyons, flat swing of the river, and then the distance is endless rolling hills of the. Looking at the Qixiu and tico luck, do you not help but marveled at the Yellow River is really a masterpiece, it is randomly drawn on the ground a bit, it triggered a superb view of an eternal and subtle hints, and then let people come to Sato and Studies naturally contained in the aura and the relationship between heaven and earth.
The reason is called heaven and earth Bay, because of the legendary Fu Xi, one of the Three Emperors, lived here, often to "S"-shaped Bay Road Yangguan sky, overlooking the rivers and mountains, according to feng shui a natural phenomenon and the invention of the Eight Diagrams Chi dark theory, creating a precedent of Chinese civilization. He will be divided into dark polar worldly things, in the gossip map in black and white display. For example sun-yang, yin land; male yang, female Yin. Only the dark each other together, things can grow. Thus summed up the climate change, human reproduction and other natural law of development. Fu Xi's thought provides a theoretical basis for people's understanding of life and influence long. At present, China's tai chi, martial arts such as Bagua palm lotus essence of yin and yang theory, tai chi is developed. For a change of seasons to master farmers, farming and seasonal arrangements, are still carried out in accordance with the solar calendar.
The above legend is not nonsense, and has a sufficient basis, because the downstream Fu Yi Kawamura, in ancient time is probably the Fuxi village, is Fu Xi was born, grew up. According to "Yanchuan County dynasty, the" record: this V-yi Kawamura, Kawamura Fu Xi in the Qing Dynasty before the call. As the "Xi" and the Traditional of "Righteousness" structure similar to the dialect also similar tenor, and later for the convenience of the people writing, it will be, "Xi," write the word "righteousness" of the. In addition, Fu Xi's father, Fraser Raytheon's place of residence, on the Yanchuan County Soil Gangxiang of Lei Cha village, very close from here.
We do not need to do a detailed inspection, turning the immediate shape of the Yellow River, as the Eight Diagrams of Taiji yin and yang, "S", while the River Wye Village and Fu Yi-Kawamura where the two hills, looking like two flat of the "yin-yang fish" This is a very vivid reality.
As night had fallen, two small villages are flashing the lights, the years of development and the continuation of the habitat has never ceased.
We left the universe Bay, Fan Shen, the little way to the ridge the village.
Chenghai sitting mayor's home, a big red dates to eat people Du Zhang, a bowl of fragrant polenta was one whole body comfortable.
In conversations with the villagers, I learned that heaven and earth Bay, advocacy and research, with a great bearing on a person, he is professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Chinese folk paper-cutting Research Association, oil painters, Jin of the forest. The fall of 2001, over ten days of the seven professors from Beijing arrived in Yanchuan Jin paint and saw the heaven and earth fell in love with this place after the Bay, so a few months to live, in addition to painting, he also went up to county funding for small-range Village pull to power again in heaven and earth on the Bay, erected bearing the inscription carved into the inscription. 2002 Spring Festival, he launched was held here, the study of Chinese folk paper-cut of intangible cultural heritage Yanchuan annual meeting, dozens of scholars from home and abroad for everyone to see the universe Bay spirited. Many of the village women under the guidance of Professor Jin art of greatly increased. I visited the village neighbors Feng Xiuzhen's work, has emerged from the traditional old style of simple, fully in the face of local real-life creation. She has a title such as "clean water off" paper-cut, above the performance of the Yellow River where the board boatman, river stones on the roller, is climbing the farmers, as well as Mao Zedong lived three kilns, kiln before the jujube tree, etc. , rich in content and meaning of profound and very impressive. Their paper-cut has started to bring the economic benefits of tourists from overseas to buy back or do decorative collection. Now, the small-range village Yanchuan county named after the county government, "folk art village," Yanchuan County, the State Ministry of Culture named "National Hometown of modern folk art."
Night, lying on warm large heatable adobe sleeping platform, I think an artist's conscience and dedication, intrinsic wisdom of the people think of the Yellow River, thinking the Yellow River astronomical landscape and ancient peoples of the integration of accumulation, think of this piece of well-preserved folk culture of the original ecology of the soil, even a long time could not sleep.
The next morning, the windows of paper just white, I stand up out of bed, then went to Yellow River. At this time, ravine covered with a layer of mist, like a just woken Qiankun Bay, the young woman, gentle and quiet lying plateau arms. Yellow River water in people's minds has always been a muddy, the stimulation, and can be shown here, a tranquil and peaceful feminine beauty. I think the ancient Fuxi fascinated by her, almost like a painter when she praised her foreign tourists, not without reason.
Ridge on the horn sounded, Xiao Yang has been to drive over.
In the rough and rugged loess sidewalk to continue moving forward along the roadside of the date sticks to beat the child window from time to time. Think of the way of the dangerous road, I feel Qiankun Bay is really a beautiful woman hidden in the depths of the Loess Plateau, those who appreciate her beauty is not easy to do.
Qiankun Bay Development must introduce domestic and foreign travelers, there are a lot of difficulties.
Or perhaps, let her keep the original atmosphere, may be more attractive to have a Kuangyuan.
