<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="1" > Haiguazi Cultural Square - transferred from the WeChat public account of "Good Mountains and Good Water". </h1>
Zhangpu County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province, there is a beautiful and rich village, known as "Beiqi Village". It is located in the west of Shaxi Town, Zhangpu Gulei Development Zone, and belongs to the provincial rural revitalization pilot village. As the saying goes: one side of the water and soil feeds the other side. Beiqi Village is backed by Liangshan Mountain, facing the mouth of the Zhangjiang River, with beautiful scenery and outstanding people. Since the reform and opening up, the wise and hard-working people have mainly relied on fishing and breeding seafood such as green crabs, shrimp, oysters, and sea melon seeds to make people's lives increasingly prosperous!
Since the end of last year, I have browsed her new style in other people's circle of friends and vibrato. The thought of seeing her new look came to mind. "It's better to act than to act!" ——On the afternoon of April 23, 2021, we drove to the "Haiguazi Cultural Square" by the sea in Beiqi Village.
The cultural bulletin board of the square and the new appearance around it allow us to stop and browse, and feel the cultural connotation of "industrial prosperity, ecological livability, rural civilization, effective governance, and affluent life" proposed by the government.
What a wonderful statue of "sea melon seeds"! It is like a dancing teenager "Yushu Linfeng", and like a mimosa girl wearing a green veil, forming a beautiful landscape with the sea, mangroves, and flying seabirds!
Not far from the statue of Hai Guazi, a "fishing village girl" with outstanding style attracted us to take a closer look, and the special costume statue of her going to sea to work has a special charm!
What is another "fishing village girl" doing on the beach? Are you carefully digging for "sea melon seeds"?
Tourists may guess the answer differently! It is really "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain." "Ah!
Sea melon seeds, scientific name "plum clams", also known as "rainbow cherry clams", is a small aquatic product that grows on the beach, so named because of its shape like "melon seeds". It contains a variety of vitamins, minerals, proteins, is the human metabolism of the necessary nutrients; it can also inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver and accelerate the excretion of cholesterol, play a role in lowering blood lipids, but also can effectively prevent the occurrence of arteriosclerosis, for improving the body's immunity has a good effect.
Whether it is a sea melon seed just dug out of the sea, or a stir-fried dish, you will be "love at first sight" for its beautiful and beautiful posture, and suddenly feel that its name is "Rainbow Bright Cherry Clam" is indeed worthy of its name! Coupled with its rich nutrition and excellent taste, it is no wonder that sea cucumber seeds are famous all over the world and have become one of the delicacies on the tables in the north and south of the river. Especially in the southern Fujian area, people like to drink with a few friends on a breezy summer night, whether it is in the farm yard or under the tree at the door, just stir-fry a plate of sea melon seeds, with a plate of peanut rice or small dishes, you can talk about the north and south, that faint comfort, that strong nostalgia accompanied by the aroma of sea melon seeds in all corners of the village.
Nowadays, the price of sea melon seeds is rising day by day. However, today's young people may not think that in the 70s, sea melon seeds also played a special role in the coastal areas of Zhangpu and Yunxiao - in that era, the natural ecological environment was better than now, and the yield of sea melon seeds was very high! In addition to being "regular customers" at people's dinner tables, they were also the preferred feed for duck farmers to feed ducks. At that time, the sea melon seeds only sold for about 0.5 cents per pound. (At the time, the largest denomination of the renminbi was 10 yuan, and the monthly wages of the working class were about 30 yuan.) When the duck keeper raises the sea melon seeds to the surface of the duck pond, the strings of sea melon seeds cross a beautiful arc in the air and fall into the water, and the ducks rush to dive into the water to feed, and suddenly, the cheerful water blooms in the pool.
In that era, fertilizers were mostly imported, and the price was not cheap. Many ordinary people along the coast also personally go to the sea to dig up sea melon seeds, bury them in the farmland or under the fruit trees as fertilizer, which is both economical and environmentally friendly, and after the crops and fruit trees absorb the nutrients of the sea melon seeds, they are more lush, and the joy of the harvest blooms on the faces of the villagers...
Sea melon seeds, in the past, left people with good memories; now, bring people economic benefits; in the future, may bring people more surprises! After taking a nap in the pavilion for visitors to rest, we set off again with great anticipation. Along the neat coastal trails, we are relaxed and light-walking.
Walk along the boardwalk, as far as the eye can see, the scenery is beautiful and dazzling!
A small fishing boat seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with tourists, quietly hiding in the verdant mangroves.
These bamboo poles rest on the edge of the beach, which is also a gorgeous scenery! Please don't get me wrong, they are not the bamboo pole dance tools of the ancient village of the PoDushe ethnic group in Yunxiao County. I think that after some careful "arming" by fishermen, it must be a "secret weapon" for fishermen to cultivate or catch seafood. Distant mountains, seas, mangroves... All trances rejoiced, like beating notes, playing a beautiful movement.
I heard that the scenery is even more enchanting from the top of the mountain! We then relent in our thoughts of staying and move toward new goals. The winding path leads to a secluded place, and we look back from time to time. I still savor the beautiful scenery I just saw at the seaside.
"Mountains and rivers are doubtful and there is no way, willows are dark and flowers are bright and another village" - finally reached the top, and suddenly opened up in front of me! The "training ground" shanghai wind whistles, and it seems that the war drums are noisy! In the trance of our ears, thousands of troops and horses are shouting and fighting!
We can't wait to board the "River Platform" and another beautiful scene will come into view!
The cross-sea bridge of "a bridge flying north and south, and the natural graben changes the way" is as thin as a silk thread in the distance! As far as the eye can see, the distant mountains are slightly glazed, the blue sea is sparkling, the sails are dotted, the gulls and herons are flying happily... Beautiful!
On the opposite side of the "Overlooking River Platform" stands the "Wanghai Pavilion". We climbed the stairs. It seems a bit "cold in the heights"! Standing on the Wanghai Pavilion, people always want to sing a song! The construction of the new socialist countryside is in full swing, and Beiqi Village is only "a drop in the ocean"! Sea melon seeds, witnessing the changes in the vicissitudes of the mulberry field, witnessing the rapid development of the motherland, are still the lovely treasures in the hearts of the people!
"Gently I go, just as I come softly; I wave my sleeve and do not take away a cloud." Happy times always feel short. Twilight has quietly fallen, and we have embarked on the road home with a longing for good mountains and good waters, silently wishing the new countryside of the motherland more and more beautiful in our hearts! The people's lives are getting richer and richer!
