Jin City, Juji Shuiwei Lu, known as the famous port of northern Xiangbei, the gateway of Jiujiu. According to historical records, in the ninth year of the Ming Zhengde (1514), "Tsu City" began to be heard, which means "the establishment of a city in Tianjin". The territory is dominated by the Liyang Plain, with flat terrain, fertile land, rivers and lakes, abundant water sources, and hilly hills and hills, with sufficient sunlight throughout the year, especially suitable for planting cash crops such as rape.
Every March, spring blossoms are a good time to enjoy rape flowers in Tsu City. At this time, this small city in northern Xiangbei is a veritable "flower city".
Mr. Yang Litian, former vice chairman of Xiangtan Photographers Association, has a soft spot for rape flowers in Jinshi and has worked tirelessly to go to Jinshi for many years to take photographs. This year, Teacher Yang still issued a "assembly order" in the WeChat group! To consider the flowering period, to consider the weather, to consider taking advantage of weekends, on the morning of March 17th, our "AA Shotjin City Photography Self-driving Tour" finally set off in a group.
The pearl on the shores of Dongting Lake in Jin City is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a rich hometown of fish and rice, and the famous Liu Deaf beef powder, passed down by word of mouth, leading the food of Jin City. This is also the hometown of Meng Jiangnu and Che Yin, and the "Legend of Jiasan Meng Jiang Nu" and "The Story of Che Yin Lang Reading" have been passed down to this day.
In the spring rain, I was driving the car while thinking about this, and I was happy. When the car drives into the territory of Changde City, you can see fields of rape flowers on the side of the highway, and the rape flowers are wrapped in the smell of spring... I could feel that everyone in the car was beating faster, and they, like me, wanted to get to their destination sooner.
In the afternoon, after we arrived at the hotel, we did not rest, and under the guidance of the teachers of the Tsu City Photographers Association, braved a light rain and went to the scenic spot to investigate. On rainy days, what kind of attractions to choose made Teacher Yang and the teachers of the Jinshi Photographers Association quite painstaking. Since God wants to rain, we can only brave the rain to move forward.
In the rain, the Liyang Plain, tender yellow pink and green, peach and plum silent, cuckoo far away, what appears in front of us is an idyllic landscape picture. Everyone ignored the fatigue of the journey and went to Dongjia Village to shoot. Dongjia Village is located on the outskirts of the city, hilly landforms, the cultivated land in the village are a small piece of scattered distribution, mainly rape, villagers like to plant peach trees, the edge of the field, in front of the house, scattered planted a lot of peach trees, spring point of view, this small village with poor appearance and simple folk customs, under the background of peach blossoms and rape flowers, the style is varied, unique. It's no exaggeration to say that here you pick up the camera and take a few random pictures, you can make a good postcard!
Taking pictures in the field is also a physical job, and after several hours of intense shooting, before I know it's nearly dusk, and after being busy, I feel hungry. Teacher Yang gave an order, went back to the house, the target - Jinshi Liu Deaf Powder Hall!
Hunan people love to eat rice noodles, each city has its own characteristics of rice noodles, Jinshi Liu Deaf rice noodles, is such a bowl of historical special rice noodles. Today, we came to taste his family's specialty - stewed powder. The raw material is rice, processed into white, full, slender and elastic garden vermicelli, set up a sand bowl hot pot, pour into the store's special beef soup, according to the requirements of the diners, put in the marinated beef or beef offal, a little while, wait for the beef soup in the sand bowl to boil hot, you can put the rice noodles in, and then put some vegetables, tofu skin and other side dishes, everyone moves the chopsticks together, while fishing while eating this lubricated, delicious, tough, unique flavor stewed powder, accompanied by the local famous wine Tokuyama Daqu, hehe, this beauty, all in the word. Friend, instead of me using words to describe it, why don't you taste it yourself, don't you say?
I got up at half past six the next morning and set off at seven o'clock for Mengjiang Temple at Jiasan Temple, planning to shoot the idyllic village overlooking the morning mist at the fence of Jiasan Temple. The sky is not beautiful, and it is still drizzling when going out. We climbed to Jiasan Monastery, overlooking the fields, farmhouses, red tiles and white walls, chickens and dogs barking, staggered with strangers, and large acres full of golden rape flowers, the picture was beautiful. Since the weather is cloudy and rainy, it is indeed not a good time to take pictures. The fresh mountain air and the "squeaking" of unknown birds in the mountain forest make people feel refreshed. Strolling through the passage between the temples, you can hear the monks in the temple chanting in the morning class, and the reverberations are lingering on the beams. I thought, although I didn't take good pictures, wouldn't it be a pleasure to be able to relax and slow down here, to be able to calm my mind a little, and to keep my body and mind away from the noise? Isn't it a bonus?
In Jin City, looking at the peach blossoms flowing along the way, and watching the rape flower fields spreading to the sky, I suddenly remembered the poem of Qianlong Yong rape flowers: "Yellow calyx clothes and thick green leaves, Qiancun Xinbu squeezes new oil." Love his livelihood and capital, not idle flowers and weeds. "Lovely rape flowers, she is not only a beautiful scenery in spring, but also the largest oil cash crop in China for the livelihood of the people. In the vast rural background of small bridges flowing with water and smoke, she is the soul of this small town.
