When it comes to Jiuzhi County, Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, known as "Ecological Picture Scroll and God-given Jiuzhi", most people will invariably think of "the garden of the gods - Nian Baoyuze". Indeed, Nian Baoyu is famous for its mountains, water, flowers, and stones, and has become a business card of Jiuzhi's own light, which is well-known and known to women and children. In fact, in the Qingganchuan junction area, sitting on the Yellow River, the Yangtze River two major water systems of the water conservation area of Jiuzhi, every step is full of scenery, full of new eyes, and there is an excellent tourist resort. She is a cold and glamorous girl who is raised in the deep boudoir and is still holding the pipa and half-covering her face, and "the first song of the Yellow River - Daughter Bay" is her name.
Today, let us get closer to her, unveil her thousand years of silence, meet her delicate face, listen to her romantic and magical story, read and feel the Yellow River from her gestures, and feel the revival story of a great nation breaking into a butterfly and being reborn in Nirvana in the twists and turns of the mother river.
When it comes to "the first song of the Yellow River - Daughter Bay", we must understand the Yellow River, understand the eastward trajectory of the Yellow River in Guoluo, Qinghai, and understand the special significance that "the first song of the Yellow River - Daughter Bay" gives to the mother river, the Yellow River. Guoluo is the geographical source of the Yellow River, Guoluo folklore is the Yellow River is the daughter of Anima Qing Shenshan, some people say that Anima Qing is the guardian of the Yellow River when he was a minor. After the source of the Yellow River, it is closely nestled in the Animaqing Snow Mountain, and the glaciers developed in the Snow Mountain form many streams, such as the mother's milk continuously flowing into the Yellow River, becoming an important supply of the Yellow River's water source, meandering along the Animaqing Mountain Range, which has continuously injected connotation into the "clear water flowing eastward of a river" for thousands of years, and constantly nourished the character and spiritual totem of the Chinese nation. After forming a main stream in Zhalinghu Township, the Yellow River passes through Dari County, Maqin County, Gander County, and finally enters Muxihe Township, Maqu County, Gansu Province from Mentang Township, Jiuzhi County, and flows through 5 counties for 785 kilometers in Guoluo. Entering the grassland of Aba Prefecture in Sichuan from Maqu County, there is a 180-degree bend in Tangke Town, Ruoergai County, and then winds its way back to Lajia Town, Maqin County, at the foot of Anima Qing Mountain.
If the Yellow River is the "mother river" of the Chinese nation, then the "snowy Guoluo" located in the core area of the source of the three rivers is the hometown of the "mother river" and a blessed land for cultivating daughters to become mothers. She was born and thrived here, and the snowflakes, raindrops and streams on the 76,000 square kilometers of snow-capped mountains have made her grow up to be a young girl in the flower season, a colorful adult girl, and a great mother who married far away from the mainland of the motherland to nourish hundreds of millions of people.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau through which the Yellow River flows is above 4,000 meters above sea level, which can really be described as the "Yellow River in the sky", so the poet Li Bai left the famous sentence that "you don't see the water of the Yellow River coming up from the sky, and rushing to the sea does not return". I understand that the reason why the Yellow River flows out of Qinghai-Tibet is that the altitude difference has become the "Yellow River in the world", and there is also Li Bai's poem "The Yellow River falls into the sky and goes to the East China Sea, and thousands of miles are written into the chest" as evidence. The Yellow River from the sky to the world, thousands of turns, thousands of difficulties and dangers, still reluctant to give up the east into the sea!
The major rivers of the mainland generally flow eastward, and the Yellow River is the only major river that flows eastward and then turns westward. From the meandering flow of the Yellow River when it first flowed out of Qinghai Province in Jiuzhi County, it surrounded many bends, and then flowed back to Maqin County. Just like the daughter to be married in the boudoir is euphemistic, just like the Tibetan girl who is reluctant to leave when she gets married, and then returns home with a charming and charming scene, "the first song of the Yellow River· daughter bay" is also named.
The mother river, the Yellow River, goes all the way to the east, with infinite beauty, infinite legends, infinite stories, and infinite blessings. In the Yellow River Shouqu Daughter Bay in Mentang County, Jiuzhi County, the source of nature's gift, the Yellow River here miraculously draws a perfect close-up "S" curve, far view of the unique and beautiful scenery of the "several" shape, just like the stunning girl in the Pavilion, showing her magical charm to the world.
The beauty of Daughter Bay lies in the ecological beauty of green waters and green mountains. There is great beauty in heaven and earth. Entering the territory of Jiuzhi, a "high-value" picture of blue sky and white clouds, clear water and green shores, ecology and beauty spreads out. Climb high and overlook, the green grass is like grass, the cattle and sheep are flocked, the rolling mountains meet the high sky, in the misty clouds and smoke, close and far, if you are about to leave, a pure, clear and graceful river, here meanders and circles, from the oasis full of vitality quietly flowing. Precious animals such as white-lipped deer, rock sheep, and black-necked cranes often haunt the beautiful shores of the beautiful scenery, and valuable medicinal herbs such as cordyceps, snow lotus, and dark purple fritillary can be seen everywhere on the hillside. Overlooking the Daughter Bay, like a fairy's streamer slowly floating from the sky, the whole river surface is slender and slender, demure and beautiful, clear and elegant, just like the willow waist of the girl's slim and elegant, the beauty is intoxicating, and the admiration of the graceful, delicate, gentle and affectionate is endless. It looks mysterious and beautiful, but with a touch of fantasy, full of aura, and it is a wallpaper masterpiece when you shoot it. Whether you look at it from a distance or up close, there is no regret and impeccable beauty, and if you visit in person, you will definitely be impressed by the beauty of Daughters' Bay.
The beauty of Daughter Bay lies in the beauty of the colors of the four seasons. There are 99 bends of the Yellow River in the world, and everyone says that their own Yellow River Bay is the most beautiful, and they all say that their own is "the first bay of the Yellow River in the world". As the saying goes, "the return of Huangshan does not look at Yue", borrowing this sentence, for everyone who has seen the Daughter Bay, there may be a feeling of "the return of the Daughter Bay does not look at the Bay". The Daughter's Bay Wetland will bloom with different colors of flowers in different seasons, blue, green, white, and yellow, just like a carpet woven by nature, unfolding in front of your eyes. And the red glow, the orange afterglow, the yellow sun, the green meadows, the blue peaks, the blue sky, and the purple clouds all paint a beautiful picture. The four seasons of the plateau are very distinct, but the four seasons of Daughter Bay have different colors. With the alternation of the four seasons, the vegetation presents seasonal changes, that is, the so-called four seasons vegetation scenery of spring, summer, cui, autumn, gold and winter. Spring arrives at Daughter's Bay, and the elixir runs through the long river. The earth slowly wakes up under the call of the scorching sun, the white snow turns into elixir and jade liquid, and the trickling stream is like a mother's milk, singing all the way, quietly flowing into the Yellow River. Summer to Daughter's Bay, grass and wild orchids. Midsummer is the season of blooming in Daughter's Bay, and the flowers blooming all over the mountains are blooming one after another, which is a tribute to the affectionate tribute of the life elves of Daughter's Bay to the Mother River. After the rain, a feast of flowers opens, and the colorful and unknown small flowers of various colors on the grassland seem to be busy rushing to the market, revealing their faces between the opening and closing of the clouds, and the Yellow River is like a girl with a light veil looming. Autumn to Daughter Bay, the sun sets over the long river. The magnificent scenes of the lonely smoke of the desert and the sunset of the long river in the pen of the Tang people seem to be the stroke of genius obtained from the golden glow of the autumn sunset in Daughter Bay, the sunset of the long river, and the smoke of the shepherd's cooking. Autumn in Daughter Bay, in the afterglow of the sunset to view the beautiful scenery of the grassland, the shepherd returns late, the cattle and sheep return to the circle, the mother river under the sunset reflects a little silver light, a beautiful landscape of the world slowly unfolds, which makes people fascinated. Winter arrives at Daughter's Bay, and guests are greeted in silver. The snow fell one after another, a snow-covered, white and flawless snow scene, and there seemed to be only a dialogue between heaven and earth between the snow and the hearts of people. The great man's pen "thousands of miles of ice and snow drifting" of the northern scenery, the unique temperament of the snowy plateau, the high sky and thick soil, seems to be constantly annotated in the winter snow, listening to the daughter bay tell the past and present lives of heaven, earth and man...... Here, the sound of the wind with the fragrance and the crisp birdsong ensemble into the moving movement of nature to the ears, let us all sigh, there is such a pure, quiet, beautiful place, let us slow down in this leisurely and comfortable nature, let us be a "quiet and slow person", so that the optimistic heart can be warmed and cared for in the wind and fall.
The delicate beauty of Daughter Bay lies in the harmonious beauty of movement and stillness. Everything in the universe is constantly moving, and mountains are also moving with the changes of the earth's crust, but in the moment of people's landscape aesthetics, mountains and stones are stationary, while water is moving. Climb to the top of the Daughter's Bay Observation Deck, condescending, overlooking the view, the water flows in the mountains, the mountains are neutral in the water, there is movement in the stillness, there is stillness in the movement, the mountains and rivers are blended with the soul, the heaven and the earth are in one color, such as a dream, such as poetry and picturesque. In the green grass and green meadows, the Yellow River is like a virgin, a slender river, a quiet river surface, under the reflection of the sun, the mountains are intoxicated in the soft waves of the water, and the water is free in the lingering of the mountains. In the rain, fog or morning sun, sunset and mist, there is a beautiful scene, unique style. In the early morning, the clouds drift and smoke, rising from the deep valley, the peaks and peaks appear and disappear in the clouds and mist, the wind rises and the clouds move, and the clouds drift like mountains, constituting the artistic conception of "mountains in the ethereal space". When the sun sets, light clouds and mist often apply a layer of harmonizing colors to the mountains, making the colors of the mountains soft and elegant; The water surface is shining, the birds are flying on the river, the fish in the river are flying on the shallow bottom, and the cattle and sheep are quietly roaming on the surrounding natural pastures, forming a beautiful natural picture.
The delicacy of Daughter Bay lies in the beauty of the curves with a degree of relaxation. The beauty of the lines is not only in the artist's brush, but also in nature. The beauty of nature's lines can be described as colorful, some lines are tough and grand, and some lines are agile and soft, as if painted by a master of God with the ground as a canvas, whether in canyons or grasslands, rivers or deserts, animals or plants, clouds or thunder and lightning, everywhere, if you pay attention, you will definitely be able to see the wonderful paintings. After the Yellow River made two big bends in Daughter Bay, it formed a big "S" shape, just like the fairy's smart and elegant skirt, floating far away and drifting away. These lines full of beauty in the natural world are like a girl swinging a graceful figure, which makes people full of reverie. If you look at it from a distance on a higher mountain, it is a unique "several" shape, which echoes the Yellow River's large "several" shape on the land of China. The graceful and soothing lines, swaying and swirling, and the beautiful silhouette make one marvel at the wonders of nature. The colors between the peaks complement the peaks in the distance. It's like walking into a fairy tale world, making people forget the troubles of the world. This spectacular scenery of mountains and rivers is like a huge landscape painting, which hits everyone's heart.
The delicacy of Daughter Bay is the beauty of culture accumulated for thousands of years. Ecological protection is no longer a simple protection of nature, but from the original nature to stimulate people's pursuit of beauty, which is people's pursuit of spiritual enrichment through nature, and the pursuit of high-quality life. From ancient times to the present, the various ethnic groups surrounding both sides of the Yellow River have survived and lived endlessly in the withering glory of the plants and trees that have changed year after year, blooming with the beauty of humanities with a long history. The world's only living epic "Gesar" was also born in the embrace of the Yellow River, when the touching stories about the Yellow River in the past have been handed down to this day, we all admire her gentleness and beauty. In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, tourists can also experience the local folk culture on the spot, taste authentic Tibetan food, watch traditional Tibetan song and dance performances, understand the lifestyle and belief habits of the Tibetan people, and deeply feel the natural, ecological and cultural beauty of the upper source of the Yellow River.
"Reading 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles" is probably the most beautiful pursuit and the most wonderful way of life in life, and it is also the best practice in life. If "reading thousands of books" is to stand on the shoulders of predecessors to appreciate and understand, then "traveling thousands of miles" is under our feet, which allows us to measure all the truth, goodness and beauty in the world with our feet. The first song of the Yellow River - Daughter Bay is a long and short road of life, which is very worthy of encountering and appreciating the best scenery. Here, we can see the most calm scenery with the most comfortable mood, here we can embrace nature and think about our own life, here we can purify our souls to find a better self, here we can see different customs and customs, and enrich our own life without regrets.
Because this is a journey of gratitude for mother's love and reverence for life. The origin of life is water. The Mother River nurtures countless lives on earth, endlessly and endlessly. On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a pool of spring water formed by snowflakes and gurgling water formed by trickling streams finally become the source of the great rivers and nourishing the land of the motherland, just like the scene of giving birth to life, birth and growth, and difficult life. The Yellow River from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the vast ocean, just like the transformation of the role from a girl to a woman, from a woman to a mother, whether it is the innocence and kindness of the girl's generation, or the selflessness and greatness of the mother's time, it is the truest portrayal of maternal love and the most selfless love. Come to Daughter's Bay to explore the appearance of the "Mother River" girl, revere the greatness of the mother of the Yellow River, be grateful for the nurturing of the Yellow River, treat the Yellow River like a mother, and let the power of maternal love always illuminate our way forward.
Because this is a journey to think about life and purify the soul. The 99 bends of the Yellow River are natural twists and turns, and they also symbolize the innate courage of a nation in the face of difficulties and setbacks. Mother Yellow River told people a simple dialectic, all the bends in the world are ultimately for moving forward. Bends are not only rivers or roads, but also in our lives, in fact, there are no straight lines. Life is always like the intersection of light and shadow, like a hundred rivers entering the sea. Many times, we are always trying to choose the right signpost, looking for the direction to go, when we stop and look back, most of the footprints along the way are zigzags, but it is as vivid and beautiful as every Yellow River bay. These are always a reminder to keep a steady, persistent and positive attitude and strive to move forward. In the quiet and beautiful Daughter Bay, we can feel the tranquility brought to us by the nature of the mountains and rivers, purify the impetuous soul, cherish the present, grasp the future, and tomorrow will be better.
Because this is a journey to light up dreams and strengthen unity. The heart is the same as the water of the Yellow River, and the air is the same as that of thousands of miles. Historically, the Yellow River was the most important natural factor that contributed to the unification of China. The Yellow River is not only a magnificent natural river, but also a long-standing cultural river and a basic cultural symbol of the Chinese nation. Since ancient times, the Yellow River Basin has been a place where agricultural civilization and nomadic civilization, Central Plains culture and grassland culture have been integrated and exchanged, and the repeated exchanges, collisions and integration of different ethnic groups and production methods have gradually formed the characteristics of the Yellow River culture as an inclusive, open and inclusive characteristic. The Yellow River is like a link that connects its source to the upper and lower reaches of the region, where thousands of living beings are nourished. Daughter Bay is both the source and the upstream and downstream. If we can regard the maintenance of this green mountains and clear waters as a common sacred mission, transform single-handedness into beauty and beauty, jointly play the gorgeous movement of the "Yellow River Cantata" in the new era, and promote the construction of a strong country and the dream of rejuvenation as a highlight to illuminate our path, it will make us more clear about the direction and goal of life.
Because it's a journey to find yourself and embrace nature. Life is like a splendid journey, it is important to appreciate the beauty of the scenery and maintain a heart to appreciate the scenery during the journey. Time flies, time flows, and we often lament the transience and impermanence of life. Embracing nature, being one with nature, and enjoying the tranquility and joy that nature brings us not only contributes to peace and recovery of body and mind, but also allows us to stay connected with nature and cherish and protect the environment. Embrace nature together in Daughter's Bay and experience the healing journey of nature, we will find that those trivial troubles that once plagued us will gradually drift away in the embrace of nature, and we will more deeply understand the meaning and value of life, and face all kinds of difficulties and challenges freely and calmly. By embracing nature, feeling nature, conforming to the laws of nature, pursuing the lofty realm of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and constantly tempering one's heart and thoughts, the journey of life will become more exciting.
Because this is a journey to grasp destiny and feel the power. Fate and opportunity do not blindly favor one person, but appear equally in everyone's life. The boiling water of the Yellow River is so soft in texture, but it has such tenacity and recklessness and indestructible strength. The atmosphere of rushing over the mountains and mountains to the sea does not return, which confirms the brilliance and immortality of this nation's civilization since ancient times; The never-ending domineering spirit of embracing all rivers to move forward bravely shows that the soul of this nation has always been broad and profound! From the chorus of the Yellow River under the pagoda mountain to the horn of the charge to cross the Yellow River...... The Yellow River is rushing, and the Chinese civilization has never been interrupted and inherited. The Yellow River in Daughter Bay can not only make people feel its unstoppable power, but also make people feel the flexibility of the Yellow River. There is no mountain higher than a man, and there is no road longer than a foot. We must draw strength from the mother river, start from our own dreams, bravely grasp our own destiny, and create our own future with hard work and sweat.
Behind the pleasing scenery, the people of all ethnic groups in Heyuan bear in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment of "protecting the ecological environment like protecting their own eyes, and treating the ecological environment like life", and pursue the hard work of "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" to ensure that the clear water of the river flows eastward. Protecting the Yellow River is also a poem and a distant place that is preserved in the depths of each of our hearts. Only when we protect nature can future generations continue to enjoy the gifts of nature.
