Jinghe Grand Canyon Tao Hu painted

　　Remember the Jing River Grand Canyon

　　If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that there was such a steep and deep canyon on the Eight Hundred Mile Guanzhong Plain, the Jinghe Grand Canyon.

　　At first sight, I was amazed. It was a day in early November, and a group of more than ten of us went to Jingyang to visit Mr. Bai Shu. Mr. Gudao hot sausage, after meeting and greeting a few words, he personally drove and personally took us to visit the Zhengguoqu Scenic Area as a tour guide.

　　Through winding mountain roads and nine deep tunnels, we come to an open flat area , Peacock Bay. On one side of the alpine cliff there is a dragon's whisker waterfall cascading down, and the small pool below it is full of water and flows to the two-eyed tunnel. At a glance, there are swings tied to the mouth of the tunnel, and there are tourists swinging, laughing and talking. Mr. Li took us into the tunnel with the statue of Liu Yi passing the book. The sculpture vividly conveys the spirit, and portrays the shepherd's Dongting Dragon Girl and The Luodi Scholar Liu Yi in a beautiful way. This is a beautiful and moving mythical love story circulating in Jingshui, first seen in the Tang legend "The Biography of Liu Yi", which has the beautiful meaning of Zhi'en Tu Bao, and has been interpreted by later generations in various art forms such as Yue opera.

　　The tunnel is sixty or seventy meters long, and it has not taken a few steps to reach the end. A cold wind poured in, and we instinctively took a few steps back. At the bottom of the tunnel mouth is the JingHe Grand Canyon, and I can't help but feel a little dizzy. If it weren't for the protection of the cement guardrail, I wouldn't have dared to look down. While explaining, the gentleman pointed to the Channel of the Jing River for us to see. The valley floor is unfathomable, the walls on both sides of the river are thousands of feet, the rocks are rugged, the river is dotted with boulders, and the water is like a jasper ribbon winding and floating. Xun Zi said: "Therefore, if you do not ascend a high mountain, you do not know the height of the heavens; if you do not come to the depths, you do not know the thickness of the earth." "This miraculous creation of nature is a magnificent landscape formed by the orogeny movement hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is a paradise for wildlife. We invariably asked, "Is there such a steep and deep canyon on the Guanzhong Plain?" The answer is yes.

　　Jinghe Grand Canyon is hidden in the depths of Zhongshan Mountain, the valley is strange, majestic and steep, known as "the first Grand Canyon in Guanzhong". If you go down to the bottom of the valley and enjoy the canyon up close, you need to dedicate a day to it. And this is only the river channel that has been developed, and most of the area is inaccessible and barren grass. Mr. Bai Said said that he and his friends had repeatedly ventured down to the bottom of the valley, using both hands and feet, cutting through thorns and thorns, and completely pioneering forward.

　　In fact, the Zhengguoqu Scenic Area is located at the junction of Jingyang and Liquan counties, along the Xixian Ring Road, Yinbai Expressway into the Guanzhong Ring Road can be reached, not remote, but raised in the deep boudoir people do not know, the main reason is that more than ten years ago here is still inaccessible - within a radius of tens of kilometers, neither villages, nor road traffic. In particular, the Exit of the Jing River is the last pass where the Jing River rushes out of the mountains and flows into the Guanzhong Plain, which is called Longkou by the locals and is a "four noes" area - no people, no roads, no electricity, and no communication signals. The majestic and pristine scenery of the canyon is only passed down by word of mouth by the fishermen, and the locals rarely witness it with their own eyes.

　　Now, this miraculous creation of great self-heating can be presented to the world, thanks to one person, Zhao Liangmiao. Mr. Bai Shu introduced that this is a legendary Wenzhou water conservancy engineer and industrialist. In 2004, Zhao Liangmiao came to Jingyang for the first time and inadvertently found that the Jinghe Grand Canyon was a good place to build a hydropower station. He said he would do it, pull up people and horses, buy equipment, load his satchel with a topographic map from the Shaanxi Provincial Bureau of Surveying and Mapping and Li Yizhi's "Report on Surveying the Jing Valley" written in 1924, and began to explore the Jinghe Grand Canyon along the footsteps of Li Yizhi eighty years ago. There was no way in and out of the Grand Canyon, they trekked through the mountains and waters, climbed over the cliffs, and forced a road. He personally led the team, shouldered equipment and tents, drank mountain spring water when thirsty, nibbled on dry food and soaked instant noodles when hungry, and slept on the ground in the tent at night. For more than half a year, Zhao Liangmiao went through all the places described and recorded in Li Yizhi's book, such as Hanging Erzui, Huajia Kiln, Black Ditch, First Line Of Heaven, Deer Antler Roof, Big Car Cliff, and Ertu Ditch.

　　More than ten years have passed, Zhao Liangmiao raised more than one billion yuan of private funds, built a hydropower station at the mouth of the Jinghe Grand Canyon, and created a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot - Zhengguoqu Scenic Area.

　　Mr. Bai Shu's heart is related to his hometown, and Zhao Liangmiaozhi is in Jingyang, and they have heard about each other for a long time. On November 8, 2016, Zheng Guoqu successfully applied for the heritage of world irrigation engineering, which is a new world-class "golden business card" added by Shaanxi. Zhengguo Canal is the earliest large-scale water conservancy project built in Guanzhong, together with Dujiangyan and Lingqu, it is known as the three major water conservancy projects of the Qin Dynasty. When the news came, the whole country boiled over. The gentleman who had just finished visiting the Spirit Canal in beihai was even more excited, and his thoughts flew back to his hometown at once, and he also made up his mind but a long-cherished wish. In 2017, He returned to his hometown of Jingyang twice, and the second time he stayed for four months - returning for Zheng Guoqu, revisiting Daqu, and writing a big book for his hometown.

　　In April 2017, Mr. Bai Shu was surprised to see Zhao Liangmiao, a prominent figure in the eyes of his hometown, for the first time at the Zhengguoqu construction site. He is not a heroic tough guy with an iron backbone, nor is he a southern boss who gives orders, nor is he like a chairman who invested more than a billion yuan to build the Zhengguoqu Scenic Area, he is just a worker on the construction site, at most a contractor - his pants and shoes are covered with mud, his clothes are ordinary, his cheeks are thin, and his complexion is dark and red. More than ten years of field work have almost exhausted the imprint of the southerners on him.

　　When visiting the scenic spot, Zhao Liangmiao pointed to the eighty-one waterholes of different sizes in the river, saying that they were strung together into a string of pearls by the Jing River, which is also a metaphor for heaven - life is inevitably suffering, even if you experience ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, you should not stop struggling, but you must go forward like this river and run towards the goal.

　　At that time, Mr. Bai Shu was working hard to write "The First Canal under heaven"; Zhao Liangmiao was working day and night to build the Zhengguoqu Scenic Area. Therefore, the heroes cherished each other, Zhao Liangmiao and his Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area walked into Mr. Zhang's book, entered the hearts of countless readers, and remained in the long river of history.

　　Note 2 Jinggu Study

　　For Mr. White Painting, I have long admired his name, but I have never met. In recent years, Mr. Wang's "The First Canal under the Heavens" has triggered a new round of Jingyang tourism fever, and everyone's focus has shifted from the TV series "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon is Round" to Zheng Guoqu, Poria Tea Town, and the Origin of the Earth...

　　Since the beginning of this year, the literary friends have been planning to visit Mr. Bai Shu, but because Mr. Bai is busy, he has never made the trip. I finally wanted to see my husband that day, and everyone cherished it. Before the visit, everyone had done their homework, I had read a lot of Mr. Wang's works, and I wanted to hear him talk about the feeling of creating "The First Canal under the Heavens".

　　When we arrived, it was more than nine o'clock in the morning, and the gentleman was busy, and when he saw us visiting, he hurriedly put down the matter at hand, such as the kind and easy-going brother greeting us to sit down one by one. Hearing that a while Weinan's friend and his own student, Fufeng Zhang Haowen and other teachers, were coming, Mr. Bai Shu said that the room was narrow, and it was better to wait for all the people and horses to arrive together and go to his studio in the Zhengguoqu scenic spot, the Jinggu Study. The literary friends all took the "First Canal under Heaven" and the "Book of Absolute Qin" and were anxious to get Mr. Bai Shu and Mr. Zhang Haowen to sign, and Mr. Zhang Haowen signaled everyone to visit the Jinghe Grand Canyon first, and then go to his study to sign.

　　After visiting the Grand Canyon, Mr. Explained all the way, we roughly understood the direction of Zhongshan and Saga Mountain. When he arrived at the Jinggu Study, the gentleman was full of interest, and sat down while making tea and tasting tea.

　　The live version of the "Hundred Family Forum" began: Mr. Zhengguoqu talked about the ins and outs of Zhengguoqu from the Jing River like a number of family treasures; from the Qin Dynasty to the many historical sites in Xixian New Area; from the origin of the earth and chongwen Pagoda to the wisdom of the ancestors; from the feeling of returning to his hometown every time he talked about the great influence of culture; from the construction of the Zhengguoqu Scenic Area to Zhao Liangmiao, chairman of Zhengguoqu...

　　Speaking of Zhao Liangmiao, Mr. Turned the topic around, and couldn't help but talk about the difficulty of scenic development, talking about the construction of the cliff boardwalk, Zhao Liangmiao and the workers had to carry a piece of steel reinforcement and a piece of formwork up the mountain on their shoulders. Cement sand is driven up the mountain by donkeys, who are also a major contributor to the scenic spot.

　　Mr. Zhao Liangmiao's admiration for Zhao Liangmiao is overflowing with words, and it also arouses our curiosity - to visit this Zhao Dong. Sir talked about Xingzheng, we listened obsessively. Mr. seemed to see our thoughts, immediately called Chairman Zhao Liangmiao, the phone was quickly connected, the answer is on the construction site in the mountains, there is no road, have to walk for three or four hours, come back late.

　　Putting down the phone, the gentleman said that the signal in the mountains was poor, and it was lucky to be able to get through the phone today. When we tried our phones, we found that the signal was very weak and we could hardly receive information. Mr. Zhao also said that Zhao Liangmiao is so willing to endure hardships, throwing himself on the construction site for many years, going to places that have not yet been developed, often going for several days, eating and living in the wild, and the suffering that ordinary people cannot imagine. His family often couldn't contact him and were very worried about his safety. The spirit of hardship in the South is far beyond our imagination, and the workers who follow him give a thumbs up to this big southern boss. Speaking, Mr. Zhao remembered that Chairman Zhao Liangmiao heard that there were distinguished guests visiting, and sent two self-brewed sour date wines in advance.

　　Can sour dates be made? Everyone was curious. Mr. Zhao Liangmiao said that Zhao Liangmiao regarded Jingyang as his second hometown, and for the sake of the masses in Jingyang, he specially invited people to develop sour date wine, which was equivalent to pointing out a way for the surrounding masses to get rid of poverty and get rich. Some time ago, the masses came to hand over sour dates, and there were so many people that they had to queue up, and the brewed wine was sealed in the cave.

　　After twelve o'clock, the gentleman immediately beckoned everyone to move to the flavor restaurant next to them and eat hometown rice with sour date wine. Many people have small tables, and two square tables are put together, crowded and crowded, lively and lively. Small and exquisite two altars of sour date wine held out, black round porcelain altar formula shaped red sealing paper, simple and festive, poured wine in the cup, fragrant, fruity sweet and rich liquor, taste a bite, full of fragrance. The aged tea with golden flowers is boiled, bright red, warm and appropriate, take a sip and refresh your heart.

　　The half-yellow and half-white dumplings were on the table, and Mr. Li eagerly introduced the hometown flavor and beckoned everyone to eat it while it was hot. I looked at the dumplings like slices of fat and hesitated. Sir said Jingyang proverb: No feast is not a feast. It is the ancestor of the ham sausage, which has been successfully applied for heritage and can only be eaten in Jingyang. Speaking of taking the lead and eating it, everyone has followed suit. The two words 穣饸 are difficult to write, the pronunciation is also a bit awkward, eating soft in the mouth, suddenly understand the meaning of soft glutinous delicious. When I went home and checked the method of dumplings, it turned out that the egg white and egg yolk were steamed after stirring with the steamed flowers and minced meat, which was indeed the ancestor of enema foods. Dumplings are fine hair rice, which used to be eaten during the New Year's Festival. Now, marriages and funerals, weddings and funerals, every feast will be held. It is said that after Cixi was in Xi'an, Zhou Ying offered this dish, and Mr. Yu Youren also liked to eat dumplings.

　　The bright and warm afternoon sun shone brightly on our large group of literature lovers from different regions. Enjoying the food, tasting the wine, listening to the gentleman talking, everyone is unconsciously obsessed.

　　"When Teacher Bai was giving us lessons at Shaanxi Normal University, his hair was combed in a neat way, his pants were slit like a line, his shoes were polished and polished, and his personable appearance, as soon as he appeared in the lecture hall, he stopped us rural babies without opening his mouth. When the lecture began, the mouth was too good to be spoken, and the export was written into a chapter, and the side was quoted, and we were all conquered. Mr. Zhang Haowen, vice chairman of the Hainan Writers Association and professor of Hainan Normal University, amused everyone.

　　"Students achieve more than teachers. Blue is better than blue, and the teacher is very pleased! ”

　　"One day for the teacher for life for the teacher." The teacher is always the direction that the students catch up with, and the teacher is always admirable! ”

　　Teachers and students are deeply in love! Learning!

　　The humility and simplicity of the two gentlemen are awe-inspiring.

　　Unconsciously, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and the "first line of heaven" in the nearby black ditch was too late to appreciate, and after mr. signed for everyone, he suggested visiting Wenjing Lake and the Three Gorges in Guanzhong.

　　Remember three The Three Gorges in the Middle Ages

　　The water of Wenjing Lake is not happy, like a mirror reflecting the charming curves of Zhongshan.

　　The name of Wenjing Lake is taken from Jingyang County and Zhao Liangmiao's hometown of Wencheng County, which is a symbol of friendship between the people of the two places and an artificial lake stored by the barrage dam of Wenjing Hydropower Station. It's hard to imagine a lake so calm, but during the flood season, it's a different story— the Jing River is like a wild horse that has lost its reins, rolling in, shaking the earth, as if it wants to engulf the world.

　　This is the power of water, from rigidity to softness, to beauty to fierceness.

　　On the hillside opposite Wenjing Lake is built Zhongshan Academy. The couplet on the mountain gate is written by Mr. Bai Shu:

　　The new path is light and lanshu all over the mountain to get a heavenly gift

　　The ancient gorge is full of deep green drops of poetry and paintings to be seen

　　Shanglian is to say that the Jinghe Grand Canyon was originally a no-man's land, and the roads were newly repaired by the builders, so it was called "new trail"; the Grand Canyon originally had one of the eight scenic spots of Jingyang, "Zhongshan Qinglan", so there was a sentence of "light Lan Shu"; the canyon was full of wild peach trees, and the peach in spring was scorched, which can be described as "blessed by heaven". The lower link is to say that the Grand Canyon is full of greenery, and this green color is so thick that it seems to be able to drip down at any time. Looking up, full of poetry, this boundless beauty needs to be appreciated and understood by people.

　　At present, although you can't see the grand scene of peach blossoms opening up all over the mountains, the infinite reverie triggered by the four words of peaches in the mountains makes people full of expectations for visiting the Grand Canyon again next spring.

　　"A touch of light smoke and green ridges, half of the forest is in the middle of the green light." The beauty of Zhongshan Is certainly nostalgic, and the Three Gorges of Guanzhong in the upper reaches of Wenjing Lake are not to be missed. "The gentleman said and drove ahead to lead the way, and we gladly went.

　　The parking lot is paved with gravel and was built by flattening a section of hillside. The newly exposed mountain is bronze and shimmers from a distance, like a huge abstract painting.

　　The boat is antique open-top, and we take a light and agile dinghy that goes straight to the narrowest part of the canyon. At first, the water surface is open, the slopes on both sides of the river are gentler, and the breeze is slightly cool. After all, in November, winter has passed, not to mention the lush vegetation in the mountains, and the temperature is already cold. But the gentleman sat at the bow of the boat and still explained to us with great interest. The ship traveled farther and farther, the peaks turned, the water surface was steep and narrow, the stone walls on both sides of the river were towering, and the cracks on it were as neat as a knife cut. He said that these cliffs were formed in the orogeny movement more than 400 million years ago, and experienced the great changes of the sea and mulberry fields, which naturally created a magnificent and majestic state. Faults in the rock walls are formed when the mountain is displaced. There is no obvious misalignment of the fissures, these fissure surfaces are either straight or curved, as neat as a knife carving, which is secretly amazing. He explained that folds are continuously curved deformations formed by the force of rock formations in tectonic movement, and there are two kinds of oblique and anticline.

　　In addition to admiring Mr. Chen's profound knowledge, I remembered that the pain shown in Chi Zijian's "Arctic Village Fairy Tale" was not imposed on the characters, but like the folds of the earth in the orogeny movement, the peaks squeezed and appeared, naturally generated. The might of nature cannot be imagined, and the hard and huge mountain stone in front of us is just a few pieces of dough crumpled by the hand of the heavens and left it in the world.

　　After passing the second canyon, the cliff wall becomes steeper and steeper, as if within reach, and there are more large and small stone nests and stone pits on it. The gentleman said that this is all the flowing water "moth" out, called "pot hole". If there is a small pit on the rock wall, the water will swirl here, forming a vortex, and the mud and sand pebbles mixed in the vortex are like scrapers, constantly rotating in the pit, and after hundreds of millions of years, countless "pot holes" have been formed. Dripping stones pierce, the power of water is so huge, incredible. It can be imagined that when the water is strong in summer, the Jing River is like an angry cheetah, rushing down, the power is enough to shake the mountains and earthquakes, and the "pot hole" is a piece of cake, and the countless strange rocks in the Grand Canyon are called magical and magnificent!

　　As we were sighing, we had reached the narrowest point of the valley mouth and the dinghy turned around and headed back. Looking up at the scenery on both sides of the river along the current is very different from when you go up against the water. When going up against the current, the water surface is like a trumpet mouth, tending to shrink, we have always been curious about the scenery ahead; when going down the river, the water surface is open, the horizon is enlarged, the curiosity is satisfied, the mentality is peaceful, and the appreciation is from another angle, only to truly feel the changing beauty of the mountain gorge, worthy of the reputation of "Three Gorges in The Middle of the Guanxiao".

　　I remember the first time I saw the Jing River was near the Great Buddha Temple in Binxian County, where the river was wide, the water flow was gentle, and the waves were not alarming. Legend has it that the Great Buddha Temple was shouted out by two sheep-herding dolls along the Jing River. Later, I heard that there was also a back-stream temple in Bin County, which is said to be a bodhisattva who traveled east along the water, enjoyed the scenery all the way, passed the beautiful Jing Village, and arrived at the Broken Scripture Village, and the beautiful scenery was gone. The bodhisattva was displeased, and with a little casualness, the Jing River under his feet began to flow backwards, and when he reached Jingcun, he stopped, and the people quickly carried the bodhisattva to the village and built a temple to worship. I think that if the bodhisattva had taken a few more steps and reached the Jinghe Grand Canyon, he would have been fascinated by the magnificent scenery here.

　　"The mountain is good day and night, and the birds are returning." On the way back, it was already more than five o'clock, a layer of fog rose on the surface of the water, and the peaks on both sides of the river seemed to be draped with a light veil, becoming more and more ethereal and beautiful.

　　"Look, what does the mountain peak on the other side look like?"

　　"Like a lotus, like a lotus flower with one petal after another, like a blooming lotus."

　　"Look at what's on each lotus?"

　　"There are countless Buddha statues."

　　Sir asked, we answered. Ask cleverly, answer more cleverly.

　　The gentleman was excited, stood up violently, walked from the bow of the ship to the stern, everyone also stood up, and looked at the fingers of the gentleman, but no, the opposite peak really looked like a lotus flower was slowly blooming, and there seemed to be a statue of Buddha in the countless natural caves on the petals.

　　"Creation, creation, the miraculous creation of nature!"

　　When we were cheering, the dinghy docked, the bow sank, a stream of clear water flowed into the cabin, we woke up like a dream, abandoned the boat and landed, and we were reluctant to leave.

　　Goodbye, that pool of blue water; goodbye, that side of the cliff; goodbye, the deep canyon.

　　On the way back, through several long tunnels, Mr. Bai said that these tunnels add up to more than 2,000 meters long, which is very coincidental with the construction time of Zheng Guoqu, and it seems to be a tribute to the outstanding craftsman of more than 2,000 years ago, Zheng Guo.

　　In just a few years, a comprehensive tourist scenic spot with ancient water conservancy culture, Daqin culture and Jinghe culture as the main line has emerged on the boundary of Jingyang, integrating history and humanities, tourism and leisure vacation.
