On the 13th day of June in the lunar calendar this year, on the eve of the 1st August Army Day, Deng Huayuan and I went to the development zone by boat to visit a village in Pingkou, Anhua County, Yiyang City, Hunan Province.
I have also taken a boat to and from the reservoir area several times before, and I have enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the reservoir area, but it seems to be "Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit", and I did not taste it carefully.
At 1:20 p.m., we returned by boat. As soon as I entered the cabin, I sat down on the right side of the front, not only basking in the afternoon westerly sun, but also seeing the view of the reservoir area from the entrance and the window.
It's sunny. The speed of the ship hits the wind formed by the air current, constantly blowing into the cabin, making people feel very refreshed without a little sweat. In fact, there is not a trace of wind blowing outside, and the water surface is very calm. The view is clear, and the blue lake is calm as a mirror, glowing with the white light of the sun. The cage buoys, simple sheds on the water, small rows, etc. that used to be everywhere on the lake are gone, and there are no floating objects. As far as the eye can see, the calm lake surface is clean and blue, which is very comfortable.
This reservoir area was created in 1958 with the help of Soviet experts to build a dam at the mouth of Zhexi to block the Zijiang River. This Zijiang River, which originates from Guangxi, passes through many counties and cities, and as long as any environmental sanitation is not done well, it cannot bring such clarity and cleanliness to the Zijiang River.
At this time, the dam is impounding, and the water level has returned to its highest level, so the lake looks very magnificent. Although magnificent, the mountains on both sides of the bank are clearly visible and lush, which harmonizes with the magnificent blue lake. At a glance, the blue water and green mountains, the landscape is colorful, what an intoxicating landscape painting.
The picture scroll is very long. The opening section, from Pingkou, Qujiang, and Eighteen Crossings to Tanxi, is also a longer picture in the scroll. In the summer heat, I saw the mountains on both sides rushing towards the blue lake, eager to come to play in the water to quench their thirst. Most of the mountains that first reached the shore of the lake put their heads into the water and sucked; Some sit leisurely by the lake and enjoy the coolness of the blue lake; Some actually immerse most of their bodies in the lake and enjoy it dashingly; Some have dived into the lake and surfaced during the dry period; There are also individual mountains that ignore the feelings of other mountains, only care about their own comfort, lie across the lake, blocking the mountains behind, and the mountains behind can only wait patiently. Despite this, the mountains on both sides of the bank are still relatively neatly arranged, and they all seem to be in awe of this blue lake. Some coastal roads, like a long rope, block the hills on the shore of the lake, indicating that they cannot go any further.
The blue lake is also spiritual, looking at the mountains that cannot be near the lake, and feeling pity, he stretches his soft body into the gaps, ditches, and streams of the mountains. Stretch into it for more than ten or twenty kilometers, and try to let the mountains enjoy its coolness and feel its tenderness. The mountains have not lived up to the heart of Bihu, one after another, verdant and beautiful, full of life.
The scroll reveals an interesting picture. Some small hills floating on the surface of the lake, they seem to be the children of the mountains playing by the water, while the mountain father and mountain mother are watching the children happily and intently behind, which is the bright scenery in this picture.
The boat came to a big bend, and I turned my head to ask Deng Huayuan, who was more familiar with the reservoir area, and he said, "This place is called Tanxi. Not far away, there is a cliff on the right bank that is like a knife and an axe, which enriches the color of the scroll. Deng Huayuan said: "This is Pingxikou. ”
Further on, you can see the mountains in front of you stretching out into the lake. Suddenly, I noticed a particularly wide lake in front of me, and a large duck seemed to fall in the center, motionless. The shuttle boat got closer and closer to it, and as I approached it, I turned back to Deng Huayuan, and he said that this was Swan Island. I said, "No wonder. He added: "Not far from Swan Island, there is a small island in the lake, called Beacon Hill. "Swan Island and Beacon Hill Island dotted in the middle of this magnificent lake, they are the wonderful brush strokes of this picture.
Further on, I saw that some mountains were very domineering, jumping into the blue lake, occupying the lake, and intercepting the passing ships. During dry periods, the shuttle boat may have to bypass the islands in front of it to reach the mouth of the creek. Fortunately, it was a period of high water, and the shuttle boat ignored it at all, passing through the diameter of the gap between it and the shore of the lake, which was only a few tens of meters wide. Then another animal-shaped island crouched in the lake, staring at the boats. Before I could ask, Deng Huayuan said to me, "That's Lion Rock." The butt side belongs to Nanjin, and the lion's head side belongs to the road. "No wonder it looks so spirited. Then there's the nameless island... The sandwich with the Lion Rock and the nameless island is the most peculiar scenery in this picture.
After a while, I turned my head and saw a very long and spectacular highway suspension bridge in front of me on the left, crossing the wide lake harbor. There are two piers in the lake harbor, and the palm pillars on the piers stand high in the air. Countless silver money bars were evenly spaced in triangles, arranged one on one back to back, firmly holding the pillars on the piers at one end and the bridge deck at the other. The magnificent high suspension bridge, the rudimentary highway on both sides, the new large and small cement piers along the lake, and the beautifully decorated and tall farmhouses give this picture a thriving modern atmosphere.
I pointed to the high suspension bridge and asked Deng Huayuan in surprise: "This is there again." "This is the mouth of the babbling stream." His answer immediately drew my attention to the small ridge that stretched into the lake harbor. That small ridge was originally the site of the Muxikou Forest Farm of the Road Commune. Forty-six years ago, when I was captain, I spent a few days with a member of the club at the mouth of the river. I remember the first time I rowed, I was always spinning in the water, I couldn't get in or out, and my heart was numb. A trace of smoke from the past can't help but rise from the picture.
After passing through Shawan, the shuttle boat turned and entered the Counterpart Creek. Divert from Counterpart Creek, go right down the dam and proceed to the development zone. Along the way, there are mountains of various shapes and sizes, proudly occupying the surface of the lake. Their scenery can attract the attention of guests and make people envious.
In short, those mountains that can enjoy the coolness and tenderness of the blue lake in the hot summer, whether they are domineering, proud, or safe, they are not much more handsome than the mountains that are not close to the blue lake, how much temperament, and some are even incomparable. But nature's creations and circumstances have made them happen.
What I envy the most is the people who live on the shores of Bihu Lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, how happy and happy. Especially those families with only three or two households, from a distance, they feel like flowers in this scroll, giving this beautiful landscape painting just the right embellishment. In this fairyland-like picture, how quiet and relaxed they are...
