Nanyang Xichuan Two-Day Tour
For Henan, from among the streets and marketplaces of some scripts, such as Henan, liar more so, I do not have any good impression. The trip to go to Nanyang, Henan Province, think of an ancient city of Nanyang fairly, and the big head Danjiangkou Reservoir on the Internet is described as very attractive, and his colleagues on the four-member delegation is pleased to set out.
November 9 on the evening in Jinan on the train, after 14 hours of sloshing, on 10, 9 am to reach Nanyang. Out of the station, see the snow swirling in the sky floating, not too large, the ground wet, no snow. When we asked to do Xichuan car there, a roadside kiosk selling newspapers, said the aunt, sitting in front of the car to go on line within the village, and beckoned to a man. See a man, but it is just seen, and know that we did not take the initiative to Xichuan greeted us on board the bus. Puzzled mind, not on the bar. And let them go this far away from the bus stop, sit to Xichuan car. Half-way to see written on signs within the township, the original, go inside the village Xichuan passing, only to have to another car within the township. It turned out that Henan is a liar.
Intermittent snow along fine, 2 hours away, the whole mountain rising, transit vehicles in the mountains. Near the destination, the fog exceptionally large, mountains are steamed mountain, not very steep hill the trees are empty, dotted with black rocks, the odd. Seeing the earth after the red, guess the reason is the iron. Reach Xichuan off, had stopped snowing, and the deep call a few mouthfuls of air, a good clean. The county live in the best local guest houses, no heating. My colleagues and I have a sense of blanket XX cold late at night, wake up frozen, this comes later.
Ate lunch, I have nothing to do with the XX said that afternoon, we took to the streets and turns are surprising the locals, what turn for the better. To see one in the car when the door is quite brilliant fanli park, subsequently went straight away by Taxi. Taxi very cheap, starting at 2 yuan, to carry us up the mountain, and received 5 yuan. To a two tier tower at off. Tower lower hollow, there is staircase on the second floor was locked. Tower richly ornamented, apparently it is built in modern times, vulgar, not seen any explanation. Tower before a platform that provides a panoramic view of buildings built adjacent to the foot of the mountain. These buildings are mostly 4,5 layer, the highest is the Agricultural Bank of the floor, there are about seven or eight-story, top of the building there is a clock, time is not right, or have shut down the bar. After the snow the air is too comfortable, and after the tower there is a concrete way slowly upward, our walks forward. Along the way, see both sides of the pines and cypresses on the snow cover, the air increasingly hazy, thin salt-like snow has quietly emerged. XX little face frozen red-scarred, but high spirits and smiles: "We like to walk in the clouds above." The more hill walking, pine and cypress vine the more snow, and even the weeds are low end up with crystal branches. Street corners a kiosk, were the snow-covered, take a look back over the past after too beautiful, Northland scenery, thousands of miles ice, and quickly in order to take pictures as the background corner booth. Lu-yu a middle school girl that gave us the statue of Fan Li and presentation. Fan Li was originally Xichuan native-born, and then to Lake Tai to help Gou Wu Fu-cha beat, attained name and fame and beauty retired and went to Shandong dingtao to become rich, become a generation of "commercial saint." Erection of a Japanese professor of summing up his fortune through a "first brought after the rich" and so on. We have a look at all happy, and turned his studies Laodeng Fan Li呀. Peak there are some projects under construction, what is "commercial Santa House", large-scale sculpture and so on, maybe next time again, it would not be so simple natural. Recall also, people have rich Well.
A walk in the park in 2 hours, to go out want to return to hotels, so do not come by taxi, ask the roadside with a shed with a tricycle, gave the answer: let my car go to that very place. Can not help but Qi Jing, true kindness. Later, things run smoothly and many local people willing to help others, make me sigh: "It is really a large population of Henan!"
Evening local guests, the wind from the wine point of view, they are indeed. Block surnamed Liang in a lawyer, came to call people sent "diversion" commemorative first day covers to give us the headworks, moved me.
The second day (10 days) arrangements to travel Danjiangkou Reservoir and incense Temple. See early morning weather was fine, and very happy. Rent a car, 8:30 start, a little over an hour to the Song Dynasty Port. Terminals can ship the car, but the slower the speed, we can also rent boats, tour price at the entrance to the small Three Gorges 25 km 250 yuan, the Hong Temple 15 km 150 yuan to 350 yuan we talk about the price of travel these two places, Later, on board, the owner speak directly to them, the price also cheap, the CMC only targeted at taking kickbacks. Ship opened, and hum to the rapid northward, first went to Little Three Gorges.
Online introduction, in 1958, began the construction of Danjiangkou reservoir, which control project built on the Dan river and the junction of two rivers, the Han River (map terms of Danjiangkou in Hubei Province), intercepted two Danjiang and the Han River. Danjiangkou reservoir more than 800 square kilometers, water reached 17.4 billion cubic meters, currently Asia's largest water reservoir. Henan Xichuan flows from north to south within the divided north and south two parts, the southern waters of large and small northern waters of the middle part is the Small Three Gorges of the narrow twists and turns, according to potential formed by the Yunling Gap, Gap Taibai Gap and the wild population (from north to south) composition. Small Three Gorges extends more than 30 years, mountain heavy water complex. In addition there are two sides Danjiangkou reservoir of natural big Buddha, the Eight Immortals cave, Ouyang Xiu reading Department, stirrup ancient battlefields, 9 Lion and so beautiful. We are from the south to the north, the owner can talk to the geese population Gap and Taibai Gorge. Buddha statues and the cave are invisible. Small boats, cabin, only six seats, before and after a door. Sitting front row view of the wide surface of the river is very broad, a group of black, pointy bird was flying in the river surface, I blurted out: "Look, geese!" Companions are laughing and said: No, water ducks. How can? Obviously the question of which fly in the sky. Nowhere to be seen, there are a number of black ducks floating in the water, I was worried that it will press on them, and fleet of those ducks look a day on the fly, and flying became a chevron, and have seen the same. Are indeed flying duck ah! Vastness, Shuitianyise, on-line called "small Pacific", a look at some fairly "sea" flavor. After a while, the two sides of the peaks are gradually exposed from the fog, the azure waves, towering mountains, lakes and mountains seamless. Green mountains, terraced fields, and occasionally there are several huts. The lake, occasionally a few layers of a small cage containing a small fishing boat. Cruise is a most important matter. It seems to be development of the tourism industry. Alleged that the 58 years since the reservoir began construction, which lasted 15 years, in 73 years built aircraft on both sides after planting and greening, sparsely scattered trees, weeds, rocks the meantime, some of the hills close to see it on almost Ge clever head of the . However, for the purposes of the manual is also considered a beauty.
20 minutes to the entrance of the Little Three Gorges on the east coast there is a red tile cottage set off trees, by Shashi lovely, owners say the resort. Entering the gorge, cross peaks embedded fault scarps Monitor, showing spectacular mountain trend. First goose population Gap, the owner can not tell the origin of the name, we can not guess how to see the outline of peaks Daoshi wings like geese. Even earlier, peaks a bit steep, but the east coast of shade trees, Cong Rong, West Bank, but trees, weeds thinly Xiangyang. Said the owner of the Taebaek Gorge, looking up the east coast there was one rock type, Ran, and Li Bai ware? Owners are farmers, there is the diplomatic style of "It can not tell." This river is wider, the middle of a boat parked a tree a sign that read "Little Three Gorges." Even if the boats to bypass the ship completed the Small Three Gorges tour. Hearts birth to some regrets. Although considered beautiful, but in my eyes, etc., not to mention the real Three Gorges and Small Three Gorges, Sichuan casual riverside side of the river that, like me or my place of birth Wutongqiao child lived Yongchuan jump Ishikawa, its precipitous mountain, water Ching, tree green, are in this man-made freshwater lakes can not be compared. XX said that before the construction of reservoirs, some as prominent as the Three Gorges here in Jun insurance. I think, and vice versa, the completion of the Three Gorges Reservoir, its Xianfeng steep everywhere, the river roaring torrent of nature is also not a spectacular re-reproduced. Naturally, the natural thing, and thus a little bit instead of being the so-called man-made. Maybe soon, our children and grandchildren had to go to the moon did not appreciate the true nature of artificial traces of the landscape of. Wuhuaizai!
Boat north to return from a quiet little lake a little wave. I drilled from the back door to go in that small enough only two or three people on deck, the back door sat on a folding stool, the wind Eventually, the sun shining warm, the good cozy. Side of the boat filled with white spray, non-stop rolling thrown, formed after the ship-based Watermark beautiful swallowtail. Peaks along with gradually receded. After the boat with the motor hum to roaring from time to time to interrupt my meditation ... ... This is a vast underwater buried many stories? In more than 40 years ago this place was Yimapingchuan the Great Plains, in ancient times known operators in our country's cradle of Chu culture, the ancient capital of Chu Danyang is located. Records of the Historian of the war took place contained Qin Chu Hsi Yu Dan, that is today's Xichuan of the Dan river basin. Great poet Qu Yuan's immortal famous article, "War" is that he allegedly boarded the wooded hill in this area in the mountains pondering Qinchu killed in battle more than 80,000 soldiers and written to. This place of cultural accumulation, especially in the Chu culture, indeed, very rich. The next part of the Temple incense temple was submerged in the river. I remember when this place by both pro-mountains, there are shielding and protecting the river Dan, what an extraordinary momentum. Accordance with the yin and yang of the argument can be described as a feng shui treasure land, is certainly superior minds of the ancient kings and nobles tombs address. No wonder later discovered the state of Chu aristocratic tombs unearthed more than 7,000 pieces of precious cultural relics. Tomb was discovered in 1978 drought, the lake back down, it was discovered that the state of Chu Yoshitada (equivalent to later prime minister) Prince afternoon, and his family's tomb group. Tomb burial objects in bronze, Yong Zhong, Britton, bells, Shek Pai Hsiao and so on are rare treasures. Mountain and Flowing Water Flow Dan river, the next Reba people say it is Sichuanese Sichuanese tour Danjiang, is all about "the" in the.
Cranky in the speed slow down. Tadami speedboat off to the west, while, to leave it at a dock beside. We crossed the dock off the boat, see the bow there is a small green rape, wash clean, and many hearts Ma Fang together, good and beautiful. I thought the lunch, and look at the table, 11 points before. Is a very small terminals (later known was a warehouse Township), did not see there is another ship, the rise of brands see the telephone poles have a "sweet Temple 16 km." Pole following a van stopped on one, showing that there is no business. Asking price 50 yuan, return price of 40 on the last car. Car climb, in the mountains Zuozhuanyouzhuan, a rise of just a reservoir in which the sun shines impressively in the distance, such as the mirage.
I waited a good mood, spoke yesterday of snow - this year, Henan, but the first snow, and today's brilliant sunshine. Eyes reach of sparsely populated, and occasionally see the roadside there are several houses and a few low wear long rubber boots farmers. No other cars around, it appears here is not incense-wang, the driver said: the mountains, who呀. Scarcity of trees on both sides of the mountains and do a big stone, and then Zhuanguo Wan go, once wooded, we know that destination is up. But even in Buddhism will be a good feng shui in the green treasure temple repair Temple, Jinan lingyansi it is.
Learned from the Internet, incense Kaiyuan Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, dating back 1,300 years of history, worked in Henan Province, one of the four temples. Consists of two parts on the Temple, the composition of the next temple, the next temple submerged in the reservoir, the incense on the temple is the existing Temple. Temple destroyed by the war several times, Ming and Qing Dynasties to repair. Height when more than 400 houses, the existing 140-odd of. Main Hall in the famous frescoes, is the world's No. 1 operator in Asia do not remember it. Parking down, immediately surrounded by a group of aunt, recommend all kinds of incense, and have since been followed by a tour guide, I had passion. First, on a steep stone steps, on both sides of the Maolin tall bamboo, tall and straight stalwart, crowded in upon each, which makes me think of the Orchid Pavilion goose pond. And to the temple platform, spacious, one is said to be Gleditsia tree, the tree roots Office has highlighted a huge blisters, there is half the height, like the frog? Like a boa? I dare not think so surprised to say so. We regret not and it later according to an image, it really is rare. Platform, there is a physical stature of the ginkgo tree, the leaves are green in. Let me tell you a few days ago just went to the Jinan Lingyan Temple, Temple and a brilliant golden leaves of Several Strains of gingko trees, and floated down, very sublime. Companion that is more here than in the south of Shandong, and late autumn, turning yellow bar to wait for a few days. Arch on the platform so hoary old, I feel like vertical and horizontal wrinkles of the centenarians. At this time surrounded by a large group of people, not to scare them. Later, when you go out, no one now, and we would ask colleagues to come to an arch at a photo. Buddhist temple on both sides of the phrase seems to have just painted, in front of the stone staircase showing the vicissitudes of history, although the basic integrity of the stone surface, rather being the Confucian Temple in Qufu, the ancient pines and cypresses general, ravines aspect, but also gives a general feeling of fossils. Thousand years of rain and snow has been washed, it is cold and warm sense of how many? The temple is very quiet, in addition to our line of four and several aunt, there is no one else. Buddha faint music slowly came to the Main Hall next to the music on the loud click, and Qi's, turned to the wall, Meng see a big horn tweeter. Provisioning is probably can not afford to sound, had to use this in. See a Buddhist temple were dressed young people, to speak in standard Mandarin, with chat, originally from Harbin exchanges here. He told us that the temple open, but more than a year. Also take us to the Main Hall, introduced on both sides and behind the murals are the contents of the Daoist, built in front of temples already have this mural has. Mind doubts, there is no mouth opening question. Then think about Taoism is China's authentic, Sui before (or earlier, it, like experts, Zhi Jiao) Buddhism into China from the Western Region, then slowly "merger" and some Taoists Taoist, which is probably why the Hong Temple Main Hall where the content actually have a large mural of Taoism. This shows that Buddhism broad and compatible, readily accept the historical truth, and does not want to establish their own lofty image on the distortion of history, and now high and those who stayed indoors and parties in power need to learn a science. More than speculation and emotion is not to belittle the meaning of a particular religion, but I have a shallow understanding of religion, and would like to master enlighten.
Northeast enthusiastic young monk Let us insert a lit incense inside the temple incense burner, he said, Four-point incense, inserted when the male left, female right hand side of the plug side, said: Buddha, God, law, law-enforcement, four incense sticks at a distance should be close. We follow point of incense stuck, respectively, the middle of the supply of the Great Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha image and on both sides. Later, the monks made a surprising move, put a stool on the wall beside the table, let us tread up stretched its hands to touch the wall of a small hole. Colleagues first up, foot on the table, the table at the top of his left hand to seize the window lattice, forced out into a small hole in his right hand forward, touch a bit on the down. The monk said, touched it, is a temple, a Special repair to the Qiang Li gold Buddha. I then went on to touch, feel little hands could be covering the Buddha's head, but also touched his nose, Wei Liang metal feel. She felt his hand touch the Buddha's head and nose seems to be disrespectful, and another think it was a monk so that we do, then relieved. To thank the enthusiasm of novices, and we competed against, he said, welcome to our Roaming or exchange of Jinan lingyansi come.
There is also a scene behind the Main Hall is the two close together, a long diagonal southwest pine, ma'am guides us to one of them the mysterious small tree Naoyang Yang, looked up, this tree's branches and leaves are all competing along with a slight The shake up was originally Naoyang Yang tree.
Sub-roof of the temple is probably a lot of snow accumulated, there have been water from the roof on the subtitle of clatter clatter to the stone on a drip to the ground, giving here a kind of quiet Tim reveries, we seem to feel that across time and space, into the chaos in the history of dust.
Get out of the temple, sit on the stone stairs, the rise of the sun so warm and touching my face. Temple faces south, it seems the Beishan hillside on the south is very open look. Mountains, cypress pine, bamboo thick, it really was a good place for self-cultivation. Picking up a few of Ginkgo biloba, we will get on the train back to the small pier. Return tickets when you look at, there is a column printed in the above thought: bad, definitely a good view of the head leakage. Drug did not regret buying, and be asking for too much to stay one, come at a later date. Later it transpired that, in addition to ancient tower, as well as Shun Bin look at Taoyuan, pearl springs and water the shuiliandong stalactites. Revisit an excuse for a lot of Jesus.
Sit in a small boat returned to the Song Hong Kong Ferry Terminal. At this time 1:30, and already hungry. Write a pier into a "Restaurant," the word within the compound, a surge of thick, choking smell of fish-flavored with pepper smell of come immediately brought back to our hungry insects come. See the sunny courtyard is placed a few tables, we shouted, basking in the sun eat. Go to the kitchen a la carte, see the chefs come up with a big head, big enough to have a football, Excitement! I hasten to the first point of the "big head." A moment, deep-fried sardines, stewed fish, Jilin (that is, A Kat Fish Bar) fried spinach, salad Mo in (a light gray, similar to grass jelly things, is often stir-fried with Sichuan food) up one after another, and the last a big tub big fish head soup up, eat our whole day, until the stomach in any case no longer fit into the time before we reluctantly put down the chopsticks. Checkout is 100 yuan. Not that expensive.
After dinner back to Xichuan going to speculate on things, riding on a 5:30 back to Nanyang car, not many people. Put the car listening to the way of pop music, often singing along on the stretch, Shashi happy. Or listen to talk all the way behind a local woman Jiligulu what to say, but 10 have nine and a half do not understand. Car near Nanyang, about 7:00, I looked up and Meng See the top front of the car there is a red balloon - I sat in the middle of the driver behind the location of the best field of vision. Balloon while on migrating to the left. So strange, then take a serious look, ah, the original is the moon! Bringing a common phenomenon is that the moon, how to become a red today? This red moon, soft, and the light red, like when the girls shy pink cheeks, then the bright and clear, it seems that Chang and the laurel are clearly visible. We were surprised and talking about, but could not tell it herself. I faintly remember that in Sichuan, Chongqing (then this is the case) when he was studying really have seen red moon, a poetry society students this out of love poems entitled red moon. That rare romantic scenes, and now in Nanyang in Henan Province from Xichuan to reproduce the way, and I do not know the reason was not burned incense. But these two things as chalk and cheese, as well as the desecration of the meaning of the Buddha. I have deliberated some random thought, or let alone let everyone laugh. Perhaps the meteorologists tell us that yes, after Snow Yunkai beautiful sunset from the mountain and that a mapping the moon formed bar. Truth is also very poetic, but very rare.
To 7:30 the car went to the Nanyang. Heard that there are foreign share of Nanyang Shirakawa night, says that a deliberate detour white river taxi drivers to see. To the river, far saw a bunch of charming and bright lights, directly across the river, such as a string of glowing pearl, and if the queue lying river, was originally the bridge street (later to know that this bridge is the Wolong Bridge). Luna Rossa Challenge and more hanging on the bridge, Xide we cried for a trial of strength, quick stop, photography! And the red moon photo! Red moon with poetry to commemorate a decade ago, now replaced by a more intuitive camera, I wonder if Olympus can leave a romantic and poetic.
Nanyang City Guest House stayed one night, the next day riding on a 10:30 train back in Jinan.
Farewell, Nanyang, do not, and Xichuan, I will be back!
The bridge was completed in 2003/11/22
