Lyrical Xiangxi River
XIANGXIHE
Out of the Shennongjia to the west, my heart is as fresh as this autumn scene in the countryside. The hill is covered with small flowers like stars, and the sun is like a gentle hand that makes people feel hot and hot, which is very comfortable. Occasionally there will be three or two mountain flowers in front of the car window, the car gently avoids, the result will also wake up the flowers and dreams, the petals gently pass through your vision, want to say and rest, like poetry, like a sentence, zero into one place of color, a place of yanran, a place of heart. The mellow air between the mountains and the wilderness melted the mask of hypocrisy and numbness in the city, and the unknown flowers and plants all over the mountains were like Zhang Ailing's words, "I can't stop the red face and drunkenly lean on the crook of Feng Auntie's arm." Drunk, all drunk, drunk in this autumn day in northwest Hubei. For more than an hour, I found a sign on the side of the road that read "Zhaojun's Hometown". We decided to go and pay our respects. But see Zhaojun Village surrounded by mountains on all sides, the environment is elegant. It can really be said that there are many victories in the picture. Like the embroidered Zhaojun Village, the Xiangxi River with the incense of Huansha, the thousand-year-old Zhaojun Mansion, the dresser of the beautiful sideburns, step by step, sprinkled with legends.
According to the "Chronicle of Xingshan County Ceremony", Yun: "Zhaojun's mansion was built in Han and was abandoned for a long time. It was rebuilt in the thirteenth year (1415) of Ming Chengzu Yongle. According to Kao, Zhaojun's hometown was originally an ordinary house, and after Zhaojun entered the palace, it was expanded, and the gate was erected and the lookout tower was built, and it became two courtyards before and after. In the early years of Tang Wude (620), it was called the Zhaojun Residence. According to the Song Dynasty's "After Smelling and Seeing", Zhaojun's ancient residence hides green bamboo villages, green shade the sun, arrow bamboo inserts the sky, in front of the house is the fragrant stream water of Qingdai, and behind the house is the dark green sha hat mountain. In 1958 AD, the villagers dug up a stone beast of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the broken tiles of Han bricks, which is also known as the tile house field.
"There is nothing in the green world, and it is difficult to get it again." The townspeople read Zhaojun, the spring mountain flying clouds, the breath of Tumba Shu; the python running river, the beauty of Muxiangxi. Yu Cui Pregnant Fang, Is Zhong Ling Yu Xiu Ye! At this time, I had a question in my heart, in my memory, Zhaojun's hometown should be Zigui, how can it belong to Xingshan County now?
Not far from Zhaojun's hometown is the Xiangxi River, where Zhaojun was washed in the river.
The Xiangxi River, because of a beauty, has become an eternity for thousands of years. Today, more than 2,000 years later, when my companions and I came to the banks of the Xiangxi River, which we thought about day and night, we learned that the Xiangxi River was originally a tributary of the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Although I have long since lost sight of the scene of Zhaojun Linxi Huansha and the sound of beautiful women playing the pipa, I still have a deep concern for the distant Huansha woman in my heart. At this moment, the sun is thick, the wind is very strong, the car window looks at the Xiangxi River in the distance, there is no east boat on the river, and even a fishing boat has not been seen for a long time. On the banks of the creek, the roar of many vehicles coming from north to south and the endless stream of tourists like us broke the tranquility of the Xiangxi River and narrated modern time and life.
Coming out of Zhaojun's hometown, he ran along the river, ran the wrong way, returned to ask for directions, and turned east at Xiakou Town. Arrive at the Xiangxi Steam Ferry port at about 4 o'clock. To return to Zi, it is necessary to cross the river here with a car, which is also the only option. Looking at the vast Yangtze River, microwave ripples, unobstructed view. Five or six large barges are moored on the banks of the river, dedicated to round-trip ferries, every hour. There was already a long line of passenger cars and large trucks on the side of the road, all waiting in line to board the ferry. Saying that it was late and fast, I paid a ten-yuan boarding fee at the entrance, and immediately followed the boarding ship, but I did not expect that we were the last car on this flight. As soon as it was put on here, the back plate of the ferry was pulled up. The boat was very crowded, our car rushed left and right, we couldn't squeeze in front, or the staff on the boat was gesturing in front of us, and we barely moved forward. The boat started, and in less than ten minutes, the ferry was safely docked. The sunset shines on the river, sparkling, making the Yangtze River more charming and magical. Go ashore, enter the town of Guojiaba, and ask passers-by in the direction and distance of Zigui. Passers-by replied that there were still 45 kilometers to the east. It flows down the Yangtze River to the east, and it is not until 6 o'clock in the evening that it reaches the county seat of Zigui.
The Secret of Zi Gui
ZIGUI
Located in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, Zigui is the hometown of the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, and for thousands of years, Zigui has formed a colorful Quyuan culture, commemorating Qu Yuan's culture and unique Xiajiang culture. The trumpet of the Yangtze River Gorge sings the bitter suffering of the porters and boatmen, sings the passion and heroism of the XiaJiang people, and also sings the unique style of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
For Zi Gui, I have a very long-term yearning. Because of Zi Gui, there is the great man Qu Yuan, and there is also the beauty Zhaojun.
Accompanied by Vice Chairman Tan Jiazheng and Director Yu of the CPPCC Zigui County, we visited the newly built Phoenix Mountain after immigration. Phoenix Mountain is less than one kilometer away from the Three Gorges Dam, which is the best viewpoint for viewing the Three Gorges Dam and the Pinghu Lake of the High Gorge. In accordance with the principle of "the whole is as old as it was, and its authenticity is preserved", the cultural relics department has relocated 24 ground cultural relics such as qingtan ancient residences, Guizhou ancient city gate, Qu Yuan Ancestral Hall, Qu Yuan's hometown archway, Xiajiang ancient bridge, and ancient ancestral temple below the flood line of the Three Gorges reservoir area and rebuilt them in Phoenix Mountain. The number, scale and concentration of cultural relics restored in Phoenix Mountain are the largest in the country, and are known as the open-air museum of the Three Gorges ground cultural relics. In 2006, the Ancient Building Complex of Phoenix Mountain was listed as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
After passing through the beautiful Xiangxi River and crossing the deep Qili Gorge, you come to Lepingli, the birthplace of Qu Yuan. Beautiful countryside, quaint cottages, concentrated in the basin surrounded by mountains, like a paradise. Ruins of Qu Yuan, Zhaomian Well, Reading Cave, Xianggu Rock and other relics related to Qu Yuan are still well preserved. Qu Yuan's original name was Pingziyuan , and he was an official of the Chu State. In 278 BC, the capital of the Chu state of Chengyin was attacked by Qin, and Qu Yuan, who was on his way to exile, was distraught when he heard the news, and in early May, he jumped into the Weiluo River with hatred and martyred himself. As the founder of Chinese romantic literature, the "Chu Ci" style he created is unique in the history of Chinese literature, and his works such as "Leaving sorrow", "Nine Songs" and "Tianwen" left to future generations can be called the treasures of the literary temple. In 1953, Qu Yuan was listed by the World Peace Council as one of the world's four major cultural celebrities. It is rare for Qu Yuan's ancestral temple to have a connection: "The false name and reputation will eventually be difficult to get rid of, and who knows whether it is behind you?" San Lu never made a flattering work, and Mr. Qu Yuan was ashamed of qu Yuan's ancestral hall. ”
In front of Qu Yuan's statue in Qu Yuan's hometown, I could not calm down for a long time, because standing in front of the statue of Qu Yuan, the peak of the vast number of rolls and stacks, I could not read him for a while. This great patriotic poet has traveled with history, and I can only interpret a spirit that moves me in his footsteps. Qu Yuan's image stands in his hometown, still showing righteousness, pride, and ambition between heaven and earth. The vicissitudes of history swept through the space, and I suddenly felt a kind of spiritual qi running through the long rainbow, connecting Qiankun, never dispersing, and the attribution of zi was becoming more and more golden and brilliant.
Taking advantage of the time before lunch, we drove through the county seat of Zigui again. As the first county on the Dam Reservoir of the Three Gorges Project, the county has 390,000 people, originally on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and was flooded by the river in August 1998 and began to rebuild on the south bank of the river. With its unprecedented style, Zigui stands out in the new Three Gorges. Zigui has 64 kilometers of golden waterways, and the majestic and rugged Bingshu Baojian Gorge, Ox liver and horse lung gorge and Kunling Gorge in the Yangtze River West Ling Gorge are all concentrated in the territory of Zigui. After the Three Gorges Project is filled with water, the rigid high gorge and the soft Ping Lake are contrasted with each other, and the ensemble plays a soothing and majestic new movement.
