Wander around the place where the dinosaurs walked
□ Wezzo
The Jiangshan Peninsula stretches like a continent
One foot in the shallow sea.
Once you stop, you will never move again,
Like a chaste and persistent watchman,
A watchman of time.
The existence of the Jiangshan Peninsula is 100,000 years, millions of years or tens of millions of years? Not really. It is so old that it is so old that it sounds like a wild science fiction film.
Twenty years ago, in 2002, villagers on the island found suspected dinosaur skeleton fossils. After expert archaeological excavations, the fossils were identified as dinosaurs of the Jurassic period, and they were the earliest dinosaur fossils found in Guangxi at that time, and the first Jurassic dinosaur fossils found along the southern coast of the mainland. You know, dinosaurs are giant animals that lived about 230 million to 65 million years ago, and they are the most prosperous, tallest, fiercest and most representative species on the earth, and they ruled the earth for 160 million years. Or it can be said that dinosaurs once walked on the Jiangshan Peninsula for hundreds of millions of years.
The discovery of dinosaur fossils in Fangchenggang, Guangxi is not an isolated case. In June 2021, near the Dongxing high-speed rail station, which is under construction, construction workers dug up suspected dinosaur fossils, which were identified by experts as late Jurassic dinosaur fossils. The two sites where dinosaur fossils were found in Fangcheng Harbor are less than 30 kilometers in a straight line. Are there more dinosaur fossils buried in the 30 km or more in diameter? This is unknown.
As creatures that were once active on Earth, dinosaurs preceded humans. According to scientists, the earliest humans may have appeared 3 million years ago or 4 million years ago. Homo erectus lived, about 1.7 million or 1.5 million years ago to 300,000 or 200,000 years ago; Early Homo sapiens lived between 250,000 and 40,000 years ago. If dinosaurs had ruled the earth until 200,000 years ago, would there be humans today? You know, there are vegetarians and meat eaters in dinosaurs. The tallest dinosaur is about 6 stories tall and is 40 to 50 meters long. It feels amazing that human beings have survived and multiplied on earth to this day, and have been able to go to heaven and earth to do everything, but we must be deeply grateful that human beings did not have the same era as the dinosaurs! Humans are just the surviving species on Earth. There is no reason why we should not be kind to nature, and there is no reason not to treat all living beings well. Today, human beings claim to be the rulers of the earth, can easily defeat any ferocious animal, and in the face of invisible and untouchable viruses, they have suffered countless defeats, and they do not know how much heavy price they will pay.
Time is traceless, but fortunately, biological fossils have survived for eternity. It is like a clock that suddenly stops, but it clearly records the veins of time. As a tourist, leisurely wandering on the Jiangshan Peninsula, when the eyes touch the fossil bones of dinosaurs, the ears will echo the thunderous roar of hundreds of millions of years ago, and the feet will feel a strong tremor like a large truck passing by.
There must be more dinosaur fossils buried on the peninsula, including dinosaur egg fossils – of course, we don't have to deliberately look for or excavate, let them continue to hatch for an infinite time!
Compared to dinosaur footprints on the peninsula, humans are just late guests. One day, about 10,000 years ago, human beings wandered aimlessly through the woods like wandering spirits, waded through the shoals, and inadvertently walked onto this isolated island. Then, they went forward, to the left and to the right, all of them were vast oceans, and there was no way out. So he turned back, but found that the road had been flooded by the raging tide. Mankind thus decided that this was Providence and simply settled down. So, everyone sat down on the ground and began to drill wood for fire, and the first human fireworks rose on the island.
Sunrise and sunset. Humans continue to fish and hunt, and do not know how many meals a day. Anyway, a large number of ingredients, inexhaustible, you can sit and eat barbecue all day long. During the day, human beings wander around in addition to collecting ingredients, or collect ingredients while wandering, combining work and leisure. At night, the campfire becomes a food and entertainment center for everyone. One is to eat supper, the second is to drive away the beasts, and the third is to keep warm on the cold night. After humans have been fed all day, bones and shells have been discarded. Over time, all kinds of skeletons have long since turned to dust, and the hard shells are piled up like mounds, which can still be clearly recognized today after 10,000 years. There is a village on the peninsula called Shihai Village, and the existing site of Mount Apo Ishi Mound is a clear evidence of the earliest human life on the island.
Shell hill is a Neolithic human "kitchen waste" relic. In fact, on the earth, coastal, inland lakefront and riverside areas, shell mound sites are also distributed. The number and number of shellfish species on the earth is beyond the imagination of modern humans. Animals are fierce, and human hunting is often life-threatening. Shellfish are indifferent, sitting still, without any tools, young and old, and easy to roast. How to bake as you want, how to mature as you want, each meal is almost buffet, unlimited. This is also one reason why the empty shells of shellfish are piled up into mountains.
The shell hill ruins have become a sightseeing spot for modern people. Today, the Jiangshan Peninsula has long been upgraded to a national 4A-level scenic spot, and there are hundreds of food stalls and homestays around it. The beach here is gentle, the realm is vast, the white waves are like snow, tens of thousands of people go into the water at the same time, they are not crowded, and it is a rare beach bathing beach on the southern coast of China. Before the outbreak of the epidemic, the number of tourists exceeded 500,000 during the National Day holiday alone. "Going up the mountain and going to the sea and going abroad" is the "seven-character recipe" for Fangchenggang tourism. But whenever they go to Fangcheng Port, most of the tourists will go to the sea from the Jiangshan Peninsula.
After the sea bath, seafood must be eaten. Seafood can be eaten in a variety of ways, can be fried, boiled, steamed, stewed, baked, and grilled. Such as grilled shellfish, grilled fish, grilled oysters, grilled squid... Except for jellyfish (jellyfish), it seems to be able to roast everything. A million years ago, humans were able to control the use of fire. For a million years, barbecue, the oldest and most traditional flavor, has remained a human favorite. Science and technology are advancing rapidly, and not all human thoughts can keep pace with the times, but human taste buds have remained unchanged for eternity.
Wandering in the sea breeze, or lying on a net bed,
If you think about the land under your feet
It used to be a place where dinosaurs walked,
Thinking of the history of Bechu again,
So billions of years,
The moment has flowed through your hand.
The so-called feeling of time like electricity is more or less like this.
