From Sanjiang, Guangxi, Hunan Jishou only trip to the train, but the unforeseen, in the off-season can only get standing tickets (no seat), on the bus, had to make up less than a sleeper. Later, this train is said to pass through several ethnic minority areas, in order to take care of all ethnic groups fare relatively inexpensive (eg: Jishou - Sanjiang full 6.5 hours, fare 25 yuan). May be money, and ride comfort is directly proportional to a healthy environment is bad Moreover, the train was overcrowded, though, and the conductor punched a talk, sit, he dedicated a small box, the good and bad do not have standing, but an afternoon drive , or let me uncomfortable for a whole two days.
Chartered under the train directly to the CHENG Yang, was admitted to the Drum Tower National hostels. This is a traditional wood house, gently let you down so that the sound room of people know that walking is a must Fangqingjiaobu of. Very, very like the hotels, houses with a small balcony, wide vision, looking ahead is the mountains, and of course the world-famous bridge Yongji.
Night, the crisp wind blowing head, makes the spirit of Relax, watching the Yongji hazy outline of the bridge, is so mysterious, far from water tankers came the rhythmic "clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter," the sounds and sweet insects, really drunk people a day does not seem to run around to toil the value of a mention.
Early morning, a thin haze floating in the mountains, walking out of the inn, came to the bridge. Gently stroke wooden pillars, slowly traversed the bridge after years of changes, body, thin feel Dong Jia wisdom.
CHENG Yang area 8 stockade, 7 Boasting, 8 Drum Tower, there are countless ancient waterwheel. Most of stockade not far apart, in order to Boasting connected between the stockade, where the bridge is the best preserved Yongji, the largest one.
Yongji bridge built in the Republican years, the Department of stones under the bridge piers, the upper wooden structure, between the wood without a nail, thanks to the skilled craftsmen will be cleverly embedded in the wood together, just like an exquisite work of art. According to Dong Jia's legend, the bridge of wood, there to pray for good fortune, good weather means; river is not large, but to build five piers, it is because Dong Jia to "5" as auspicious.
CHENG Yang district still using the old waterwheel to irrigate. River water level is low, only knee, while the higher-lying farmland in the shore, so far separated, there is a small stone on the riverbed dam blocking water flow only in one side by agricultural land has a gap, with the stone puzzle of a water conduit, while the tankers built in the catchwaters on the respect of its income from water, slowly turning the water delivered to the higher terrain, and then bamboo water diverted to the farmland. Fairly simple idea, but it reflects the infinite wisdom of the Chinese nation.
Quarter of a year is the spring quarter day is the morning. April morning, when I was in reverie, in the sigh of the time, the farmers have already started on the 1st uncle in the ground of the labors of the. The world is a thin rain, they still seem to catch a cow over and over again in the plow.
Sitting alone on a hotel balcony, stare at their diligent work in the fields. After a winter, the soil has been relatively smooth and firm, and to which irrigation, plow may even be planted. They have to commute round-trip in a flat block of land gradually became strong, then become a slurry, watery, indeed, magical.
