Text/Wang Tao

The train galloped, crossed the Han River, set off from southern Shaanxi with green mountains and green waters, crossed the Qinling Mountains, stepped over the Guanzhong Plain with endless green gauze tents, and climbed the Loess Plateau with ravines and ravines. Traveling across thousands of miles, just for this enthusiastic June, I met Fugu at the time of the national famous writers' "Into Fugu" collection and the 15th Western Prose Festival.

According to the data, Fugu was known as Fuzhou in ancient times. Located in the northernmost part of Shaanxi, it is an important part of the high-end energy and chemical base in northern Shaanxi, an important hub of the country's "West-to-East Coal Transportation", "West-to-East Power Transmission" and "West-to-East Gas Transmission", and the world's largest magnesium production and supply base, known as "China's Magnesium Valley and the World's Magnesium Capital". Its comprehensive competitiveness ranks among the top 100 in the country and the top 10 in the western region, and it is one of the counties with the most dynamic economic development in the province. Fugu is a bright pearl on the bank of the Yellow River in the Qin-Jin-Mongolia region, and is one of the earliest and longest counties in Yulin City, with a history of more than 2,000 years. The territory is rich in natural and cultural resources, and "one mountain, one water, one ancient city, one ditch, one ditch and one Great Wall" is the beautiful business card of Fugu. In addition, folk arts such as Errentai, mountain songs, wine songs, and shehuo compete here, and the Great Wall culture, Yellow River culture, Jin Shang culture, farming culture, and grassland culture blend and gather here, jointly nourishing and forming the "Fugu Spirit" of "generosity, pragmatism, striving for the first, and sharing".

Before I visited, I imagined that this valley should be like most resource-based cities, with a dusty environment and people like nouveau riche. A few days and nights with Fugu completely changed my stereotyped imagination.

Before departure, I repeatedly planned the itinerary, and there was no direct train to Fugu, so I booked the ticket in Shenmu, which is adjacent to Fugu, and traveled more than ten hours from Ankang to Shenmu at 5 o'clock in the morning, and chose a seat by the window in order to take pictures and watch the scenery.

The first time I went to Fugu, I kept looking for public transportation from Shenmu to Fugu on the map, and I also consulted local literary friends in Yulin from time to time. On the first day of departure, Chairman Liu of the Western Prose Literature Association recommended to me Shenmu Wenyou and Zhang Pengfei, general manager of Hongyanao Scenic Area, and then made a one-line contact, asking me to carpool from Shenmu West to Shenmu County, and he waited for me in Shenmu County to go to Fugu together. After solving the traffic problem to Fugu, I can enjoy the scenery along the way with peace of mind. If nothing else, you will be able to reach Fugu at 6 p.m. However, there are many good things. At nine o'clock, I received the news from Mr. Zhang, because the company has an important leader research and reception, temporarily decided not to go to Fugu, and warmly invited me to have time to go to Shenmu to see China's largest prehistoric city site Shiyuan ruins, China's largest desert freshwater lake Hongyanao, Yang Jiajiang's hometown Linzhou Ancient City, etc., I immediately replied to thanks, and also invited him to my hometown of China's auspicious place - Ankang Pingli to play.

The scheduled itinerary traffic is disconnected, but the time is still early, so hurry up and re-plan the trip. There is no public transportation in Shenmuxi, so I am worried that I can't easily carpool, and at the same time, I saw that many literary friends in the collection group were transiting in Yulin, so for the sake of safety, I decided to get off in Yulin and take a bus to Fugu, even if there is no bus, carpooling is easier. After planning, I leaned against the window to look at the scenery, squinted and waited for the train to arrive.

At half past one o'clock at noon, the Wenyou King of Wushen Banner in Inner Mongolia sent a message to the military brother, "Where are you going?" "Qingjian" "Then you go to the elm forest, I'll go to look for you" "You're also on the way?" "I'll get up at two o'clock", "I'll go to Yulin at 3:06", "Okay, I'll pick you up in a while", "Okay". Brother Xiang's timely news made me a little surprised, and I was relieved to meet nobles when I went out and solved the big traffic problem. At 2:50, I received the location from Brother Wang Weimin's WeChat, he was waiting for the bus to go to Fugu at Yulin Railway Station, and saw that I was about to arrive in Yulin in the group, send me a location, and make an appointment to go together. Twenty minutes later, we met at the Yulin Railway Station Square, the first time we met after a year and two months. Brother Wei was invited to participate in the Shangluo Writers Association in 2017 when he met when he was invited to participate in the collection activities organized by the Shangluo Writers Association, as the vice chairman of the Shangluo City Writers Association and the chairman of the Shangzhou District Writers Association, he organized the whole process to accompany the visit and exchange, so he formed a friendship, often online exchanges, telephone chats, last year with Daqing Wenyou Shi Xiuhua, Guangxi Wenyou Feng Sansi and his party visited my hometown Pingli County, I accompanied the visit with the chairman of the County Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Seeing each other again after a year, it was very cordial. At around 3:40, Brother Xiang Jun picked us up in front of the station square. Brother Xiang Jun was three years old, his hometown was Shenmu County, and then moved to Wushenqi, Inner Mongolia, where he held an important position at the department level, and published a humanities collection "The Rhyme of the Years", which was an elegant official.

The car was driving on the Cangyu Expressway, and several people chatted happily. Before we knew it, it was already more than seven o'clock, and we arrived at Fugu Shanshui Sunshine Hotel, and after checking in and checking in, we immediately participated in the welcome dinner of the event. Wu Jing, magistrate of Fugu County, and Mu Pengju, president of the magazine "Selected Western Prose", delivered speeches respectively.

Jin Hou, a member of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, presented the calligraphy "Millennium Fuzhou Wenyundang" to the Propaganda Department of the Fugu County Party Committee. The Fugu writers and artists presented an authentic Fugu folk culture feast for all the participating writers and guests - Fugu Errentai, allowing everyone to appreciate a comprehensive art with local characteristics that spreads in Fugu County, Shaanxi Province and Yulin City, and integrates folk songs, operas, and song and dance performances in northern Shaanxi.

When night falls in Fugu, after dinner, you can walk around the street alone to feel the warmth and fireworks of the city. Walking on the riverside road, the cool breeze is blowing, and the citizens walk, exercise, ride, skateboard, ......, shuttle between the green trees and flowers in the park, and enjoy the comfort and leisure of the garden city. At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights are like stars, outlining the outlines of the pavilions and pavilions, making them look a little mysterious in the dark night. Stroll along the winding paths, the floor lamps at your feet glow softly, like a passage to a dreamland.

Walking to the riverside park square, I saw a sculpture of the mother of the Yellow River standing in the center from a distance, the statue exudes a faint loess color under the light, showing the skin color of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and at the same time, the stone texture of the statue seems to tell the vicissitudes and great changes experienced by the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The composition of the mother and the child snuggling together is profound, symbolizing the Yellow River mother who nurtures the Chinese nation endlessly and indomitable, and the Chinese descendants who are happy, happy and thriving.

The trees in the park are illuminated by lights, and the green leaves shimmer in the light and shadow, as if it is a perfect blend of nature and modern technology. The spotlights in the grass reflect the grass in a verdant green, like a huge piece of jade.

The neon on both sides of the river falls into the Yellow River that passes slowly, the breeze blows, and the light and shadow sway, like a dream. The bridge in the distance spans the Yellow River, and the light strip on the bridge body is like a soaring dragon, majestic and spectacular. Across the river and Shanxi Baode County, it faces each other. A bridge flying frame, the moat becomes a thoroughfare; Vehicles come and go, and the two provinces are like neighbors. People stroll or stop to watch in this beautiful night view, and laughter echoes in the air.

In the middle of June, just nine o'clock in the morning, the sun on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi has been hot, the Yellow River that rushes all the way to the east has turned a corner here, slowed down, the clear Yellow River water is rippling in the wind, the bank is full of green trees, high-rise buildings are standing, and the reflection sways gently with the water waves.

On the stone mountain beam on the north bank, the ancient city of Fuzhou that has stood for thousands of years quietly overlooks the Yellow River flowing slowly westward, like a veteran in armor, although it has been twilight, it still stands majestically against the wind, looking at the great rivers and mountains. Fuzhou City was built between the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and was repaired many times. The rammed earth was made of stone, and the battlements were made of bricks. The city is located in the east, west, south and north gates, as well as the small south gate and the small west gate. There are city towers on the six gates, and the south and north gates and the small west gate build the urn city. There are 2 main streets that run through the east and west, and 12 alleys that form a network of vertical and horizontal streets, and there are many shops and many shops. The terrain of the city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a military fortress. According to records, in the first year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty (1041), King Yuanhao of Western Xia led 100,000 troops to attack Fuzhou, but he was seriously injured in a hard battle for seven days and fled in defeat. The national hero folded from Ruan, five generations later, Tang served as the Fuzhou Assassin History, the regimental training envoy, the Later Han Yongan Army Festival Envoy, and his father and son brothers lasted more than 200 years, and successively guarded the city.

Dark gray wall bricks, standing city towers, exquisite residential building ruins, all have experienced wind and rain flying sand, wolf smoke caressing cover, in the mottled land, engraved with the ancient city fortress for thousands of years of flag whistling, war horse neighing, bright armor cold light and dynasty change of the wind and clouds, feel the vicissitudes of history, the war and prosperity, scribes and merchants, all intertwined a vivid picture inside and outside the city wall. The smoke of gunpowder has dissipated, but the industriousness, wisdom and feelings of the people in this land are still shining.

Walking on the paved road of green bricks, every step is a crossing. In this ancient city, every brick and tile carries the story of the past. Sunlight shines through the treetops, on the broken eaves and stone foundations, speckled like the carving of time. Each alley in the ancient city has a unique style of jagged and modern buildings, and a different story is hidden behind each door. Here, history is not far away, it is at the feet, in the eyes, in the heart.

The Confucian Temple is located in the ancient city of Fuzhou, is the largest and most well-preserved Confucian temple in northern Shaanxi, was built in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1381), and after several repairs, it gradually expanded into an axisymmetric group building centered on the Dacheng Palace. The sun shines all over the square in front of the Confucian Temple, two mighty stone lions squat on both sides of the main gate, there are tall archways on the east and west sides in front of the door, and the nine dragon wall photos are carved in the middle of the marble, showing quiet and solemn. The door is hanging a "Lingxing Gate" gold plaque, slowly entering, in the Confucian Temple, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the blue brick corridor, the precipitation of the years is quietly told here. The first courtyard sets up an exhibition of the characters of the famous Jiangmen family from the late Tang Dynasty to the Northern Song Dynasty, displaying 35 large-scale oil paintings, which truly reflects the historical story of the three hundred years of "loyalty, bravery, self-service, and defense of the frontier", and is a glorious banner of loyalty and patriotism in Chinese history.

Passing through the Dacheng Gate, what catches your eye is the face wide five rooms, three deep rooms, single eaves and nine ridges rest mountain type, the Dacheng Hall covered with colored glazed tiles, the huge plaque of "Wanshi Table" at the door, the statue of Confucius in the middle of the hall, next to it is the statue of "four matches, twelve philosophers". On the side of the main hall is a delicate stone stele, the handwriting is either elegant or strong, and each stele is a witness to history, which makes people awe-inspired. The innermost courtyard is the Fugu Historical and Cultural Museum. There are fossils and cultural relics from the Mesozoic Era, and it is an important scenic spot to understand the history, culture and institutional evolution of Fugu.

Walking in the Temple of Literature, the sound of the ancients reading seems to echo in my ears, and a sense of awe for knowledge and culture swells in my heart. This is not only a building, but also a piece of history, a kind of spiritual inheritance. It has witnessed the growth of countless students, but also the power of culture.

The noon sun shone on the steps of the Ronghe Museum in Fugu County, and I stepped on this light and shadow to enter this palace that witnessed historical changes.

Walking along the left side of the wall, a vibrant lotus pond appears in front of you, and the willow trees on the shore hang down softly, swaying gently in the wind, as if playing soft music for the lotus flowers and the black swans swimming leisurely in the pond. The clear water reflects the graceful beauty of the willow trees, which also adds a bit of mystery and fantasy to the grace and luxury of the lotus flowers and the black swans.

From the unpretentious primitive pottery to the exquisite Tang Sancai, it is a perfect interpretation of the aesthetic taste and creativity of the ancients. The fine Qiangong bed on the second floor of the exhibition hall not only highlights the artistic level of furniture making in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also reflects the height of the pursuit of life aesthetics by ancient Chinese craftsmen. The bronze exhibition area exhibits a variety of bronzes, including sacrificial items, wine vessels, and musical instruments, which are not only a symbol of power and wealth, but also an outstanding representative of the combination of ancient casting technology and culture and art.

Sitting next to me in the car was Chairman Kang Wenhui of the Fugu Writers' Association, who enthusiastically introduced me to the cultural customs and natural landscapes of Fugu along the way, and answered all questions, and was a knowledgeable and hearty old man. As fate would have it, one of his college classmates was my fellow villager in Pingli, and I still knew him. Laughing along the way, we came to the Fugu Polar Alpine Ridge to explore the beauty of nature.

Stepping onto the Alpine Ridge, I was fascinated by the natural beauty here. Under the scorching sun, the Loess Plateau that is cut into a deep ravine and a mountain ridge is extremely dangerous, uneven, alternating between light and dark, adding a bit of mystery to the alpine ridge. Walking up the winding mountain road, you can hear the crisp singing of birds and the scent of earth and grass in the air. When you arrive at the Temple of Heaven on the ridge, your vision suddenly opens up, and a continuous green pine and cypress blooms in front of you, as if it is a green carpet carefully woven by nature, and this dense vegetation gives people the illusion of being in the hometown of Daba Mountain.

Gaohan Ridge is located in the southwest of Fugu County, 45 kilometers away from the county seat, the highest altitude is 1426 meters, the mountain is majestic and magnificent, the pines and cypresses between the ridges are verdant, it is the highest altitude of the famous mountain in Fugu. According to the record of "Fugu County Chronicle": "This ridge is pine and cypress, evergreen in winter and summer, the terrain is majestic, and the peaks and ravines are far away. Climb this ridge, all thoughts are gone, all worries are forgotten, a person laughs, the valley has a voice, when its morning the top of the mountain is cloudy, every night in the middle of the ridge smoke. Alpine Ridge is named after it. "Alpine Ridge has a rich history and a rich collection of humanities. The "Longyin Hall" on the ridge originated from the sixth day of February in the 36th year of Kangxi (1697), the Kangxi Emperor personally conquered Galdan for the third time and stationed in the Alpine Mountains, worshiped the existing thousand-year-old "Chinese territory cypress" and gave a poem "Xiaohan Nian Soldiers": "The long river is frozen, the wind is accumulating, and the armor is not safe. Every time I see the frost invading the dawn moon, the most pitiful soldiers are cold." There is also a demonstration garden of purple peony for oil, which has fully cultivated more than 2,000 acres of peony.

Walking among the pines and cypresses, you can feel the gentle soothing of nature. The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the mountains, and the golden light is intertwined with the verdant vegetation to form a moving picture. The breeze blows, and the mountains and forests are flooded with layers of green waves, like the climax of the movement, stirring people's hearts. Alpine Ridge, this magical land, vividly interprets the beauty of nature, so that every visitor is addicted to it.

The last stop of the day is the Haojiazhai Red Culture Museum. Here the beautiful water is fertile, surrounded by green mountains, and the jujube forest is dense, and the scene is majestic and beautiful. Haojiazhai under the slanting sun is quiet and solemn. After getting off the bus, at a glance, a white marble statue of Chairman Mao in front of the museum comes into view, the tall and straight statue is gilded with a golden halo under the sun, which looks particularly solemn. Walking into the Red Culture Museum, it is like traveling back to that era of beacon fire. The exhibition hall has the Shenfu New Democratic History Exhibition Hall, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Village History Museum, Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall, Shenfu Special Zone Pavilion, Revolutionary Pioneer Hall, Haojiazhai Civilization Practice Station, Fugu Personnel Heroic Model Room, Yellow River Strange Stone Museum, Library, Fugu Old Photos and Lei Feng Pavilion, Calligraphy and Painting Room, Folk Customs Museum, Cartoon Area, Conference Room and other settings.

In the exhibition hall, the historical situation is intertwined with the feelings of heroes. Each exhibit is a witness to the revolutionary years. Those old weapons and yellowed documents are silently telling the bravery and perseverance of the past. The old photos on the wall freeze the figures of the revolutionary martyrs, their eyes are firm, and their smiles are simple, as if to tell future generations: for the sake of faith, for the people, everything is worth it. I stopped in front of the display panels and listened to the narrator's affectionate narration, and my heart swelled with admiration for that period of history. It is not only the transmission of knowledge, but also the inheritance of spirit.

Through understanding, it was learned that the museum was founded by Hao Zhilin, a member of the Communist Party and a person from Haojiazhai, opened on April 26, 2018, and completed the upgrading on April 15, 2019, with a construction area of more than 800 square meters and a collection of more than 4,800 pieces, with colorful and unique content. When I left, I looked back and saw that Haojiazhai was even more solemn in the sunset, which witnessed the history and inspired the future.

In the Lingyuntai of the Jin-Shaanxi Grand Canyon, the Yellow River turns nine turns and eighteen bends, flows through northern Shaanxi with the momentum of opening a ditch and digging a valley, and the direction turns sharply from east to west to north and south. It is rumored that Tianqiao Gorge was once a thrilling place here, with deep streams and turbid waves emptying, and there is a saying that the overpass is eight steps wide. Not far downstream, there is a natural stone pillar 60 meters high on the bank of the old river. Viewed from the shore, it stands out; Rafting and looking up, the pillar into the clouds; The sunset is slanting in the west, and the pillar shadow is across the river. The shape of the top of the column is like a lion's head; High morning light, white clouds leisurely; In summer and autumn, it is covered with green moss. Therefore, it is known as "Jade Pillar Lingyun". This magnificent scenery was flooded during the construction of a hydroelectric power station. In order to boost the tourism industry along the Yellow River and present the wonders of yesterday, in March 2019, a viewing platform was built at the Grand Canyon of the overpass upstream of the "Lingyun" pillar of the old Yellow River. The platform is conical, 88 meters above the water surface, the frame is steel, and eight pillars are supported. The platform is divided into two floors, with a spacing of more than eight meters. The first floor platform is 118 square meters of waterproof wood surface; The second-floor platform is an 88-square-meter glass plank road, which can carry 880 kilograms per square meter. Glass trestle, transparent up and down, the same color of Tianhe; Every time the rain is clear, the clouds reflect the water waves, and the view is like a cloud. Ascend to this platform, look at the clouds and clouds, and watch the turbid river and clear river; The heart is chasing the waves, and it can express the ambition of Lingyun; The heart is like stopping water, and the epiphany is not shocked. Hence the name "Lingyuntai".

Standing on the observation deck of the Yellow River flowing into the first bay of Shaanxi in Fugu County, I was deeply shocked by the scene in front of me. The Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, is like a golden dragon, turning gorgeously here, painting a magnificent picture. The aerial overlook is like a Taiji diagram at noon: the two poles of yin and yang are very distinct, the cathode aquatic plants are abundant and lush, the anode bald ridge is towering, the grass is shallow and the wood is sparse; Its shape is like a hidden dragon in the Yellow River Bay, swinging with the wind, beautiful and magical, and like the jade belt in the green bush surrounding, and the Zicheng cottage Danxia landform complements each other, wonderful and incomparable.

In the morning light, the river shimmers, and the whirlpools in the bay are cascading like a palette of nature, intertwining yellow, green and blue. On the beach, the river gently laps on the shore, making a pleasant sound of waves, like the music of the earth. Savor and feel the magnificence and gentleness of the Yellow River. The mountains in the distance and the reeds in the near distance form a harmonious picture. The birds fly low on the water, the fish are happy in the water, everything is so natural and so vibrant.

Standing here, I seem to be able to feel the precipitation and years of the Yellow River for thousands of years, and every turn of the Yellow River carries the weight of history. The Yellow River flows into the first bay of Shaanxi, which is not only a masterpiece of nature, but also a witness of history. Here, I understood the character of the Yellow River, felt its strength and tenacity, and cherished this magical land that gave birth to Chinese civilization even more.

Although the sun is scorching and the weather is very hot, everyone is still in high spirits. Continued to embark on the journey to the Lotus Scenic Area. The scenic spot is located at the intersection of Qin, Jin and Mongolia provinces, where you can feel the excellent artistic conception of the natural scenery of northern Shaanxi, and there is also the saying that "there is Aoki River in the south and lotus in the north", and the scenery of the north and south is different. The scenic spot is adjacent to the Yellow River in the east and stretches for 10 kilometers in the northwest, which is one of the eight old scenery of Fugu, formed between the Permian of the Paleozoic Era and the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous of the Mesozoic Era.

The name of the lotus flower comes from the Kangxi Emperor. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had stopped at the place of the three provinces of Jiming when he pacified the Galdan rebellion, was attracted by the Danxia landform of the five-colored lotus flower that was displayed in front of him, and was ordered to be "Lotus Lotus" when he learned that this landform had no name, its uniqueness is that the surface color tone is completely different from the loess high slope landform, the red and white five colors are stacked on top of each other, the local people call it "pork belly", when immersive, gray and green, brown and yellow, crimson red, pink and purple, gray and white five colors alternate, reflect each other, like a burning flame under the sun, gorgeous red glow, The scenery is so beautiful that people can't forget to leave, and they can't help but marvel at the magic of nature. In 2016, the attraction was rated as a national Danxia landform address site, which was broadcast in CCTV's "Aerial Photography China" column, and at the same time, CCTV's "Country World" column was recorded on the spot.

Overlooking the lotus flower from the square, the ravines are intertwined, there are thousands of stone piers of round tips, the red ones are white, the high and low groups are towering, they are connected one after another, just like the lotus buds of a big pond blooming, there are nine curves of the Yellow River like a coiling dragon surrounding, let people all marvel at the grandeur and strange beauty of the heaven-given scenery.

The northbound highway runs along the Yellow River, with magnificent water on one side and rolling mountains on the other. Driving on this highway, it is as if moving forward on the pulse of the Yellow River, feeling its history and vicissitudes.

Soon, we arrived at the landmark of the three provinces of Jimingwen, where the starting point of 0 kilometers along the Yellow Highway in Shaanxi is also here, from which it will stretch 828.5 kilometers south to the foot of Huashan Mountain. Standing at the junction of the three provinces, the scenery of Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Shaanxi is in full view. The air here also seems to integrate the characteristics of the three provinces, including the vastness of Inner Mongolia, the heaviness of Shanxi, and the heroism of Shaanxi.

It has the reputation of "three provinces of chicken song" and the reputation of "plugging the south of the Yangtze River". There is a sculpture of a Chinese rooster, which heads north in the direction of Tiananmen Square, as if reporting grassroots work to the motherland. What's more interesting is that this amazing rooster in the three provinces of Jisong has a more meaningful function, which is a "rural revitalization chicken". Tourists only need to scan the QR code hung in the scenic spot, you can hear three rooster crows, which is very suitable for the occasion, and the income of "scanning the code and smelling the sound" is all used to help the poor people develop industries and solve life difficulties and other poverty alleviation undertakings. Every time the tourists scan the code, it is a sincere dedication to the cause of rural revitalization.

Next to the rooster sculpture, there is a glass plank road suspended, walking on the plank road, a thrilling experience that makes people want to stop. The more beautiful experience of the plank road lies in its excellent sightseeing perspective, looking at the lotus flower in the north, looking at the county town of Hequ in the east, and looking at the smoke of the countryside in the distance, which is peaceful and fascinating.

The company has been awarded the titles of National High-tech Enterprise, Shaanxi Province Agricultural Industrialization Leading Enterprise, Shaanxi Forestry Industrialization Leading Enterprise, Yulin Private Economic Transformation and Upgrading Demonstration Enterprise, and key technology and industrialization projects have won the "Shaanxi Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award".

In the imitation of the Ming and Qing dynasties in the ancient town of the renovation of residential houses, the streets in front of you are mostly decorated with the architectural style of the sixties and seventies of the 20th century, walking through the streets and alleys of the ancient town of Mazhen, you can occasionally see the old Ming and Qing Dynasty courtyards, high walls and deep courtyards, mottled brick walls, faded gatehouses can not cover up the exquisite craftsmanship of carved beams and paintings, eaves and arches. Later, I learned that in the past 100 years of history, Mazhen is a place where commerce and trade are developed and culture is prosperous, and it is not surprising that there is such a mansion.

It wasn't until I heard Sun Wenhui, chairman of the Fugu County Writers Association, personally introduce me at the foot of a lonely tower, that I learned that Mazhen was the key pass of "going to the west exit" during the Qing Dynasty. "Brother, I'm going to go to the west exit and take out a red-headed needle on the wall. Close the door and let go of the dog, little sister, don't be sad. Early in the morning, I crossed the Huangfu River and strode in Madigou. There are many people in Dakou, and they all go to the west exit. ......" In Chairman Sun's voice cavity with the characteristics of northern Shaanxi, the scene of "going to the west exit" reappeared in front of me. I can't help but have a strong interest in Mazhen, and I want to solve many doubts.

It is understood that the ancient town of Mazhen is located in the northeast of Fugu County at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Mongolia, bordering Longkou Town, Zhungerqi, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in the east, Huangfu Town in the south, Ha Town in the west, and ancient towns in the north. Mazhen station Madigou. Historically, it was named after the two ditches in the north and south that once grew lush green hemp. In the year of Ming Chenghua, the Great Wall was built along the cliffside of the southern foot of Daxigou, and Daxigou became the natural boundary of the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups. On the south bank of the estuary of the Daxi ditch into the Huangfu River, on the side wall of the Great Wall, a pass hole is set up, which is convenient for internal and external exchanges, and there are soldiers guarding it, which is the famous big mouth. In the late Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of Yongzheng, the border city of Huangfubao gradually moved here, also known as "on the side"; During the Republic of China, due to the establishment of a town, it was referred to as Ma Town. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was a border trading place, so it retained the system. On June 28, 2015, Shaanxi Province adjusted the administrative division of townships and towns, abolished Ma Town, Fugu County, and merged it into Huangfu Town.

The melodious song is mixed with the bleak "Go to the West Exit", singing the embarrassment and helplessness of life in that era, and the sadness and hardships of the people who go to the West Exit. It also fully shows that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people have been the masters of the country, the party and the government have eliminated poverty, promoted rural revitalization, and the people have been lifted out of poverty and become well-off, and have lived a happy and happy life since then, which is very different from that time.

On the way to the Yangjiaming Great Wall Protection Station, Chairman Xiekang introduced to me the legendary story of Liu Donghou, the head of the protection station, who had been patrolling and protecting the Great Wall for 18 years, which touched me deeply. This is not only a journey through the past and the present, feeling the soul of the Great Wall, but also a spiritual exploration.

More than 10 years ago, Liu Donghou saw that the Great Wall in his hometown had been damaged because of herding sheep and digging medicine, building roads and houses, and began to inspect the Great Wall spontaneously. Starting as a single person, the number of volunteers around him gradually increased. Fugu County immediately relied on Liu Donghou and his team of volunteers to set up a Great Wall Protection Workstation. The daily work of the protection station is to regularly start from the Yangjiayuan section of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, and carry out inspections along the Great Wall ruins in the east and west, measuring, photographing and recording along the way.

The Great Wall Protection Station is located on Liyuan Mountain, and there is a Zhitong Temple on the mountain, which is said to have been built in the Han Dynasty. After several damages, the original site has been restored in recent years with the efforts of people of insight in the community. There is a red willow tree next to the courtyard wall, which has grown tenaciously for thousands of years, and its roots are deep into a tree. Many years ago, Mr. Liang Heng, who has served as a reporter of Inner Mongolia Daily, Guangming Daily, deputy director of the State Press and Publication Administration, and deputy editor-in-chief of People's Daily, once interviewed and wrote an article entitled "The Great Wall, Ancient Temple, Red Willow", which made the Li Yuanshan Great Wall Protection Station, Zhitong Temple and the thousand-year-old red willow famous. In the article, he wrote: "...... The protection station has been established for five or six years, and has gradually become one with the temple, with a total of more than a dozen monks and laymen, the same courtyard, the same room, and the same economic account. Most of the volunteers are residents of Zhitong Temple, and their great wish is to protect the city and repair the city; Monks love trees, and the way to practice meditation is to plant trees and protect them. In the morning and evening, when doing homework in the temple, volunteers also go to the Buddhist hall to listen to the sound of chanting for a while, and calm down. In addition to their homework, the monks would also go to the slope below the temple to plant the land, water the trees, and inspect the Great Wall. ……”

According to the data, the site of the rammed earth Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty lies in the north of Fugu County in the east and west, and the site of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty exists more than 140 kilometers in the county, and on both sides of the Great Wall, there are many enemy platforms, Guanbao, beacon towers and other sites. Among them, the most intact preservation is the Yangjiayuan section of the Great Wall in Mazhen, about 4 kilometers of the wall is relatively complete, and the beacon tower "corner tower" covered with blue bricks is still tall and majestic.

The Great Wall, which stretches for more than 1,000 kilometers, stands in Yulin City in northern Shaanxi. This is one of the areas with the richest resources of the Great Wall in the mainland, the total length of the Great Wall of Qin, Sui and Ming Dynasty of the Warring States Period is more than 1,500 kilometers, and there are more than 1,700 single buildings such as enemy towers and beacon towers, and more than 40 camp forts. Through years of protection of the Great Wall and the promotion of the Great Wall culture, the people around the Great Wall are forming a joint force with the cultural preservation department, actively participating in the patrol and publicity work, and becoming an important force in the protection of the Great Wall.

The Great Wall winds along with the road, and I witnessed this period of the Great Wall ruins that have been weathered by history. Although the city wall is mottled by the years, it still stands, revealing a kind of vicissitudes of beauty. Standing on the wall of the corner tower of the Qingshui River, looking at the surroundings, the blue sky and white clouds, the mountains are continuous, and the magnificence of nature and the majesty of the Great Wall are intertwined, forming a shocking picture. Touching the weathered and mottled wall tiles, it seems that you can feel the hard work and wisdom of ancient craftsmen. Every brick carries the weight of history, and every section of the city wall tells the story of the past. Here, you can read tenacity and perseverance, and feel the indomitable spiritual strength of the Chinese nation.

Walking into Shaanxi Qingshuichuan Energy Co., Ltd., it is like stepping into a warm and comfortable park. Under the blue sky and white clouds, flowers and plants flourish, and the breeze blows, bringing a fresh breath. Saying that this is a thermal power plant, I'm afraid many people won't believe it. As soon as they got off the bus, the staff led the writers to visit the Chuxin Square, the main garden, the Qing Garden and the cultural corridor, the sports center, the swimming center, the production workshop, etc., which was clean and tidy and the garden-style factory with pleasant scenery was really eye-catching.

After the helmets were distributed one by one, the writers walked into the production workshop, and as the roar of the machine got closer and closer, everyone was in a huge and complex set of generator sets and ancillary mechanical devices. Deeper into the workshop, the hot air rushes into your face, which is the heat generated by burning coal and the force that pushes the turbine to spin. With the support of high technology and new equipment, it realizes the effective recovery of heat energy and zero dust emission, which greatly saves energy and protects the environment.

There are occasional workers in the production workshop who make regular inspections, and there are almost no workers to be seen. The company's production is all intelligent management, in the production control center, the tall and wide hall side of the wall is a huge screen, densely distributed with real-time monitoring screens of all aspects of production, more than 10 staff on the computer to observe the parameters, mouse control unit production.

According to the staff, the company plans to have an installed capacity of 4.6 million kilowatts, divided into three phases of construction, after the completion of the project, the company's total investment will reach 20 billion yuan, and will become the largest coal-power integration enterprise in China and the sixth and largest thermal power generation enterprises in the country. At that time, the advantages of coal-to-electricity integration will be fully utilized, which is of great significance for serving local economic development, realizing the local conversion of coal resources, promoting the promotion of coal-to-electricity integration mode, and implementing the national strategy of "west-to-east power transmission".
