The cistern on the barren mountain dried up, and the villagers noticed that something was wrong at the bottom of the pond and came closer to see the wow
The late autumn sun shines through the sparse leaves on the cisterns on the barren mountains, like a layer of golden tulle. Located in a remote mountain village, this reservoir has long been an important source of water for the villagers. However, this year's drought has caused the water level of the cistern to drop sharply, and gradually, the bottom of the reservoir is exposed to the sun.
The villagers of the mountain village are a little anxious, knowing that if the reservoir does not collect enough rainwater, it will have a huge impact on the life of the entire village. So everyone started saving water, but the dry days never seemed to end.
At this time, a villager named Li Ming accidentally discovered something unusual. As he walked around the edge of the cistern, ready to water his crops, he noticed an area at the bottom of the pond that looked strange. The color of the soil there is different from the surrounding area, more like a dark red soil than the usual yellow-brown color.
Li Ming was curious, and he decided to take a closer look. The cistern has dried up and he can easily reach the bottom of the pool. When he approached this strange soil, he couldn't help but let out a whoa-wow cry. It turned out that under this red soil were buried some ancient porcelain fragments, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
Li Ming couldn't believe his eyes, he squatted down and carefully dug out the fragments. The fragments have ancient patterns on them and look very exquisite. He quickly collected the pieces and returned to the village to tell the other villagers what he had found.
People from the village came to see the debris, and everyone was shocked. Some people recognize these porcelain fragments as quite old, possibly hundreds of years old. The villagers were amazed by the presence of these ancient porcelain fragments, and they began to speculate about how they were buried under the cistern.
An old man in the village recalled a legend from his youth that in the past the mountainous area was once the site of an ancient civilization, and that the cistern was built in a place that may have been an ancient ruin. This legend has always been considered a myth of the villagers, but now it seems that there may really be some basis.
The villagers decided to notify the local antiquities department, hoping to get expert identification and research. Experts quickly arrived at the scene, and they expressed great interest in these ancient porcelain fragments. According to preliminary identification, these porcelain fragments are indeed quite old, possibly dating back hundreds of years, and the patterns and patterns on some of the fragments are related to ancient cultures.
As experts delved deeper, they suggested that these porcelain fragments may be related to trade in ancient times. Located on an ancient trade route, this mountain village may have been an important trading post. The discovery attracted widespread attention and attracted research by archaeologists and historians.
Villagers have also begun to actively participate in the study, hoping to learn more about their own history and culture through this discovery. Together with experts, they carry out excavation and research work, hoping to restore ancient scenes and lifestyles.
The misfortune of the reservoir drying up turned into an unexpected luck that brought this remote mountain village back to life. This discovery not only brought villagers a deeper understanding of their own culture and history, but also attracted more tourists and scholars to visit and study. The villagers want to preserve this precious heritage so that it can be passed on as part of the village and part of the world. The cistern on the barren mountain is no longer just a simple source of water, it has become a link between the past and the present, connecting people's hearts.
