At the Spring Festival Gala in 1983, the "Shepherd Song" sung by female singer Zheng Xulan sang the whole country, and the mountain shepherding scene in the lyrics of the lyrics of "sunrise Song Mountain Pass, morning bell startling birds, dogs jumping sheep to run, raising whips and gently shaking" caused countless listeners to reverie.
In Dilinzhou City, 700 miles away from the Songshan Shaolin Temple in Dengfeng City, Henan Province, there is exactly a life scene described in the "Shepherd Song", where the slopes of this place are full of green Chinese herbs, hundreds of years old huanglian trees, wild mountain apricots, wild mountain peaches, walnut trees, peach trees, etc., and the slopes are Chinese herbs such as plantain, wild wormwood, fungus Chen, and ground yellow.
Maybe some netizens are anxious, Linzhou City, Henan Province, is located in the Taihang Mountains, rich in natural resources, and is indeed a good place with green mountains and green waters and simple folk customs, but what you are talking about is similar to the Songshan Pass Sheep Song, where is Linzhou City?

This place is located in the east of Dongyao Town, Linzhou City, Huang Mangyu Village, this village is a natural village belonging to the Yellow Road City Brigade, the whole village of more than 800 people, about 15 kilometers away from the town area, east of Hebi, north of Huanglupo Village.
Regarding the origin of the village name, according to the villagers, the village was formerly called Huangyukou Village, and very early on, a large yellow python from the south passed through the village, went to the north village to drink water, and then returned to the Desert Yukou Village to live. Therefore, huangyukou village was renamed Huangluoyu Village, and the village where Huang Python passed by drinking water from the north of the village is now Huanglupo Village.
There are 4 villager groups in Huangmengyu Village, with an area of 874 mu of arable land, and the main food crops are corn and millet, supplemented by wheat. The village is located at the junction of Linzhou and Hebi City, in the deep mountainous area of the Taihang Mountains, and in the northeast direction of the village is the Huangmiaogou Provincial Forest Park in Hebi City, which covers an area of about 5,000 mu.
The natural vegetation of Huangmengyu Village is luxuriant, the slopes are rich in plants, Chinese herbs are everywhere, and the two sides of the ravine are wild fruit trees that have grown for more than 100 years. Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft. More than a dozen villagers in the village have taken advantage of their unique natural resources to run a "mobile treasury" business.
The "mobile bank" and "mobile treasury" mentioned by the villagers of Huangmengyu are actually the use of natural resources for grazing, mainly sheep grazing. The villagers in the village generally have more than 200 sheep, and there are about 400 sheep farmers, and the fewest sheep herdsmen also have more than 100. In winter, villagers keep goats in captivity and buy grass to raise goats.
According to Master Yan, a sheep herder in the village, the herd size of his herd of goats is the smallest in the village, about 50 or more. However, the goats he herds are brand sheep, named Nubia, and the price of an adult sheep is more than 3,000 yuan, and a group of goats he raises is worth more than one million yuan. There was also a sheepdog following Master Yan, who joked that he would drive the goats up the mountain and give a county magistrate a hand! Some netizens said that three hundred goats are nearly ten million yuan, hurry to Yellow Python Yu to herd sheep! (Wang Jian'an Photography)
