This is a tributary of the Yellow River, homologous to the Wei River, but chose a different flow direction from the Wei River. The Wei River originates from the east side of Huajialing and heads southeast to the Guanzhong Plain, so the smooth wind and water vein are strong along the way, and when it reaches the Guanzhong Plain, it is mighty, and the confluence into the Yellow River is even more windy. However, the Zuli River is different, it also originates from the Huajialing Mountain System, but it chose to go to the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the northwest direction, although the position of joining the Yellow River is before the Wei River, but it does not have the momentum and courage of the Wei River, because the path it chooses determines its thinness, weakness, barrenness, helplessness and namelessness. It is indeed a bit of a shame to say that it is nameless, because it is called zuli River, and it has a name. But in the true sense of being famous, it is not related, because, you ask those erudite readers, who knows where the Zuli River is, what kind of customs and personnel the Zuli River has, how many allusions and histories related to the Zuli River, and which group of people cannot forget the Zuli River, for these, no one can tell you the exact answer. But I can tell you. Zuli River is a bitter river, the river water contains a lot of salt, people, animals and animals can drink, so the local people also called the Bitter Water River. According to legend, Nuwa used the soil here to create people, so our skin is the same color as the soil here, because the water used by Nuwa and mud is the bitter water of the Zuli River, so the history of the Chinese nation is also written by suffering.
Located forty or fifty miles north of the main peak of Huajialing, there are two mountains slightly higher than the surrounding peaks, called Yingpan Mountain in the east and Crouching Tiger Mountain in the west. Yingpan Mountain is the highest, and the top of the mountain still retains the ruins of an ancient beacon tower, so the locals do not know the name of Yingpan Mountain, just call it Baoziliang; and because the residents of the mountain have been mainly surnamed Xu for generations, they are still called Xujia Mountain. Crouching Tiger Mountain is named after the tiger that crouches like a creeping tiger, and from south to north there are tiger head beams, tiger blade beams, tiger ridge beams, tiger claw beams and tiger tail dry beams. The terrain of Yingpan Mountain is relatively gentle, and most of the hills from the foot of the mountain to the top are terraces and slopes; The steep terrain of Wohu Mountain has less arable land, so it has opened up a green forest belt owned by the brigade collective, planted with patches of trees and alfalfa, and the trees are mostly poplar and almond trees.
The sweetwater river crosses through the middle of the two mountains. There is water in the small river all year round, and although the water flow is small, it is rarely cut off. It came out of the cliff bay ditch, joined with another small river called bitter water, and snaked north. Along the way, a number of equally humble and nameless rivers converged, and then there was a name, called zuli river, straight to the Yellow River. In fact, there are many small rivers like the Bitter Water River, which originates from the Huajialing Mountains.
In the low-lying mountain bay where the two mountains hug each other, there are 60 or 70 families scattered according to the terrain, which is Yawan Village. Yawan Village is further divided into three natural villages, on both sides of the Tiger Blade Beam below the Tiger Head Liang, there are more than a dozen yang surnamed families, which are Miao'er Bay; above the Tiger Claw Liang, the breast belly of the Crouching Tiger, with ZhouJiabaozi as the center, there are more than thirty households, the Zhou family name is the main one, it is Zhoujiaya Bay; in the middle of the Baozi Liang in Hedong, around the edge of Xujiagou, there are more than twenty households in a ring, which is Xujiashan.
