Human happiness and our own perfection are not hostile to each other, and man can only achieve perfection by working for the perfection of his contemporaries, for their happiness. (Marx) - Inscription
A small river, unknown, looking through the national atlas, it is rare to find some of its signs. The impact of the years and months, the highs and lows on both sides of the river, the river valleys stretch and twist, the water flow is clear to the sky, so silently flow ah, the years have no trace, the mountains and rivers are tangible, and not to yaosheng, not because of the decline ...
Despite the changes of the times, the river valley is still the same, but this silent silence has been broken again and again, including its ups and downs, the trajectory of the source flow, the continuous ups and downs... Generations of descendants along the coast either stay in the homeland to work, or go out of the river valley, step on the avenue leading to the outside world, looking for their own life directions, looking for ah, breaking in, wrapped in the bag of life recourse and local entrustment...
There is no ultimate point in the past and the future
Tonghe Valley, as the name suggests, is related to tonghe. River, the common name of the waterway. The original meaning of the river and the river is connected, so it is also called the same river. Viewed through aerial topographical maps, the Wutai Mountains, a famous Mountain of Chinese Buddhism, extend in a southwest direction, passing through Fanzhi County, Dai County, Wutai County, to the foot of a mountain called Shimengou on the east side of Kuiguangling in Yuanping City. Along the road, large and small mountain springs converge, passing through the two administrative districts of Yuanping City and Dingxiang County. The "Yuanping City Chronicle" says: "The internal flow is 25 kilometers (kilometers), and the average width of Hanoi is 30 meters. ...... There is a Shimengou buffer reservoir built at the head of the ditch. "Dingxiang County Chronicle" contains: from Yuanping City to enter, "the internal flow of 9 kilometers,...... The historical maximum flow was 1144 cubic meters per second (1883), and the drying period was about three months. "The upper and lower basins add up to 34 kilometers, meandering into the Tuotuo River, and then into the Hai River, running to the Bohai Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
Where did it come from? How does it change? Why is it called? When was it named? The size of Huaxia and the small size of the domain are indeed difficult to find out the actual data and origin. However, sometimes it is like a grass gray snake line, and some clues can always be found. Looking down on the aerial graphics, along the way to the north, east, and west, the three sides are enclosed to form a gate-shaped frame, and there is a small dot at the top of the frame, which is actually a hill, known as Fushou Mountain. Looking down, the dots of villages in the frame are clustered together and resemble a single character, which is combined into a glyph or named after the terrain.
In addition, legend has it that in ancient times, there were many lemon trees (commonly known as catalpa trees) in this place, and the poem "Tong Chuan and Ren Qing Drink" of jin Dynasty Yuan said: "Xiao Xiao huts around Qing Bay, surrounded by clouds and jasper rings." In the title, "Tongchuan" refers to the same river valley in the mirror of Chengxian County at that time, and the "jasper ring" here should be the lemon tree flowers along the coast, the leaves are green as "bi", the flowers are white as "jade", and the flow back to the twists and turns is called "Qingwan", which is especially appropriate, so it is called "Tongchuan".
Continuing to trace upwards, the same river valley and Wutai Mountain are interdependent, and the underground mineral resources are rich, "Sui Shu Geographical Chronicle" said: "The emperor first set up Xinxing County, Tongchuan County." (Parts of the three counties and cities of present-day Wutai County, Dingxiang County, and Yuanping City, which have been divided and merged in later dynasties), local historians have many records of mining gold mines and copper mines, and the name of Tongchuan should also be well-founded.
Multiple interpretations of the same pronunciation reflect the long history of a region and the long trajectory of the survival of the people. However, only the direction of this river and the situation of the valleys washed out by it are indeed unchanged, and after years and months, the erosion of wind and water, the intersection of man and the environment, like a long umbilical cord of life, feeding the descendants along the coast are endless and endless...
Pear blossom wind bone and heroic sad song
Since modern times, the water source and its flow in the Tonghe Valley have increased or decreased, coupled with the construction of electric irrigation stations and buffer reservoirs along the coast, although in recent years it seems to have rebounded, the overall intermittent decline, the interruption time is relatively prolonged, but the memory it left for the Tonghe Valley is still timeless. In the early spring of each year, it is the time when the pear blossoms are in full bloom, although it is warm and cold at first, the aroma is already overwhelming. Climbing the cliffs on both sides of the river, the sky is blue and blue, the wild is white, and the thousands of trees are shaped like a canopy, with a straight back and branches, and the mangy ancient plains contrast with each other, just like a natural picture.
According to relevant information and annual ring calculations, the earliest existing trees in the same river valley are Tang Dynasty remains, the age of the tree is more than 1,000 years, the annual tourism festival picking activities, Nanzhai, Kangcun and other villages of the "Tang Tree" attracted nearly nearly eight tourists to buy under the tree, mutual transmission can be beneficial to longevity. In addition, there are trees from the Song Dynasty and The Ming Dynasty, and more trees from the Qing Dynasty. People are accustomed to calling it "Tang Tree", "Song Tree", "Ming Tree", "Qing Shu", and the result is called "Tang Pear", "Song Pear", "Ming Pear", "Qing Pear" and so on. Over the dynasties, the local government transported the best pears to the capital as a tribute every year, and the name "golden melon" became louder and louder.
According to the "Yuanping City Chronicle", in 1985, Shanxi Province went to Beijing to participate in the National Agricultural Products Exhibition and the high-quality fruit appraisal meeting, and the crispy pears produced in the Tonghe Valley "ranked first among the crisp pears and won the trophy of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries". Ingredient identification: sugar, protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, thiamine, niacin, ascorbic acid, large fruit shape, average single fruit weight of 250 grams, can be stored until April--May of the following year. Evaluation: The fruit is nearly cylindrical, the color is golden and beautiful, the flesh is tender and crispy, the skin is thin and juicy, sweet and delicious, with the characteristics of crisp, crisp, fragrant and sweet. The following year, "Yuanping County was listed by the Ministry of Agriculture as a high-quality crispy pear production base," and the base construction fixed point was expanded from three townships in the same river valley to more than a dozen townships in the city.
Or ask: Since the ancient drought of the Loess Plateau, it can be said that there are nine droughts in ten years, coupled with high cliffs and wind and frost through cold and summer, how can rich water moisturize new and old trees and trees, branches, leaves, flowers and flowers, and then bear fruit?
According to the basis provided by soil scientists and horticulturists, this area is blocked by high mountains in the north, and the frost-free period is extended, forming a unique small basin microclimate, and the deep roots of pear trees and the strong vitality can extend to the open water undercurrent of the coastal riverbed tens to 100 meters below. Three hundred and sixty-five a year, despite the cold and summer, still frost and snow, is a real drink of bitter cold, sweet, years of refining, self-style bones. I suddenly remembered Lu Xun's famous saying that "what is eaten is grass, and what is milk is milk" is suddenly remembered.
Along the Kuiguang Ridge and the south side of the Tonghe River, there are mountains named Good Protection Mountain, and the past that cannot be heard endlessly between pitches lingers in the ears. During the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the Tonghe Valley was once the homeland of the Jin Dynasty, and after the three families were divided into the State of Zhao, it is said that this mountain was named in honor of the righteous soldier Gongsun Gongusu in Sima Qian's story of the orphan of the Zhao clan. In historical facts, there have always been different views on whether there is a rescue of orphans, but folklore has a board and an eye. The one who gave up his relatives to save the orphaned and anonymous doctor Cheng Bao, the Gongsun Ganguso who died without fear of adultery and evil at the hands of Tu Anjia, the iron-faced selfless and outspoken Han Wei... Along another tributary of the northeast of the same river, there are green mountains protruding, locally known as Outtou Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain there is a village named Dongshandi Village. Legend has it that this mountain is the place where the baby is hidden in the story of the Orphan of Zhao, named after the orphan Zhao Wu who finally grew up to become an adult and reappeared. In order to save the orphans, Cheng Bao first hid the baby in the Tibetan Mountain in Lu County, and then fled along the mountain path to Longqian Mountain (later renamed Lutou Mountain) in the northeast of the Tonghe Valley. Down the river, there is the Sanhuai Mountain in the northeast of Dongshe Village, and it is said that after Zhao Wu became an adult and resumed his official position, Cheng Infant believed that the tasks of saving orphans, caring for orphans, and establishing orphans were completed, and he followed the righteous soldiers Gongsun Gangusu and Han Yue. Zhao Wu was so grief-stricken that he kept filial piety for three years with his righteous son, and the local villagers renamed the original name Qijun Mountain to Sanhuai Mountain, and planted three locust trees and built temples to sacrifice the righteous, so it was also called Three Locust Mountain. Continuing westward, there is a mountain on the west bank of the same river called General Mountain, and the Qing Dynasty's "Records of Chengxian County" says: "There is the ancient name of hanju temple, and there are horseshoe marks on the stone in front of the temple." In Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, there is a village called "Sangong Village", which is said to be the place where these three righteous men discussed protecting the orphans of the Zhao clan. In the Xinfu District of Xinzhou City, which is in the north, there are Cheng Bao's hometown and Han Jie's tomb, and it continues to the north to dingxiang county, where there is a village of Zanggutai, and the Ming Wanli edition of the "Chronicle of Dingxiang County" says: "Cheng Hou came out of the Zhao clan and hid far away in Wuyu, and posterity called it Zang Gutai." ——From the "Sangong Village" in central and southern Shanxi Province, all the way north, through Lu County of Yangquan City, Xinfu District of Xinzhou City, Dingxiang County, to the Tonghe Valley, the north-south line is linked, providing a final footnote for a historical origin.
Continue south along the river valley to the boundary of Dingxiang County, where there is a mountain named Qi Lang Mountain, and there is Qi Lang Temple next to the mountain. Qi Lang's real name is Yu Rang, because he repaid his kindness with his death. Qi Lang was also a Jin dynasty man during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, and the three families were divided into Jin, and after Zhao Xiangzi destroyed Zhibo, he painted his head with lacquer as a urinal pot. This infuriated Yu Rang, a disciple of the courtier Zhi Bo. Yu Rang changed his name to anonymity, disguised himself as a slave, pretended to be a migrant worker to repair the toilet in Jinyang Palace, and waited until Zhao Xiangzi entered the toilet, but before he could move, he was discovered by Zhao Xiangzi. After understanding the reason, Zhao Xiangzi was released on the spot because of his loyalty. In order to ensure the success of the next assassination, Yu Rang cruelly chose to disfigure, painted his whole body, made his skin fester, afraid of being heard, simply swallowed the charcoal, and his throat suddenly became hoarse. Yu Rang, who made a makeover, deliberately rubbed shoulders with his wife, and was not discovered. Then he hid with a sharp blade under the bridge that Zhao Xiangzi passed through, and Zhao Xiangzi went out to the front of the bridge, and the mount screamed and found that someone had stabbed him. Yu Rang knew that he had reached the end of his life, asked Zhao Xiangzi to take off his coat, drew his sword and cut off his clothes three times, and also repaid the favor of knowing the encounter, and then raised his sword to commit suicide, leaving behind the sad song of "Soldiers die for their confidants".
Chewing on the past, staring at the wild pear blossoms, shaking in the breeze, solemnly and conservatively, silently blooming calmly, unconsciously rushing with blood... Isn't it true that the bitter ice is pure and pure, and the Ming Zhi is not exactly the portrayal of the life symbols of many predecessors? The ancient saying that the three Jin Dynasty and the many righteous soldiers of the ancestors laid a layer of loyal and unswerving background for the Tonghe Valley. Its sustenance, its ethics, for people to provide a revitalized tunnel of history, just look at the simple and resolute face, coupled with sincere and honest eyes, loyalty and courage buried in the kindness, boldness in the tenderness, intuition tells you, that is the extension of history, unchanged inheritance, face to face each other, there is a simple chivalrous wind, there is a river valley refreshing atmosphere, suddenly return to the whirlpool of history, feel and taste what is a party of water and soil to raise a party, what is the integrity of the heart, what is the liver and gallbladder feelings...
Blood-stained style
The management of pear trees is a huge investment from the beginning of spring. A series of processes such as spreading buds, whole branches, circumcision, retraction, long release, short cutting, twisting, soil loosening, fertilization and so on began one after another. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, a temple fair was held every year on the tenth day of the first month of the second lunar month called the "Flower Welcoming Party", sending the first wish for the extra buds, and then there was the "Frozen Flower Festival" on March 15 and the "Strong Flower Festival" on the sixth day of April. Since the reform and opening up, the official unified determination of April 23 of the Gregorian calendar as the "Pear Blossom Festival" every year, when the city holds various celebrations. Nowadays, tonghe valley crisp pears have been sold well in the mainland and Africa, Europe, North and South America, Southeast Asia, Australia and other parts of the world and region.
While the ancestors have been managing agricultural affairs for generations, they are also managing the life trajectory of their descendants. "The hardships of the prophets" are known to the people. From childhood, or ploughing long mu, millet heavy; or mulberry chicken and porpoise, books, vegetables and melon vegetables; or love pear garden, orchard, jujube garden, sunrise and rest, until the old woman arrives. A very large number of them go out of the river valley, looking for ah, looking for ah, straight to the outside world, long insight, looking forward to walking out of their own way, living another kind of human form - to find the right place, can go straight through the straight, "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood", in the album of outstanding descendants of modern China, there is no shortage of their heroic names...

Successively, 95 generals and military generals from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been removed, and the baptism of blood and fire has painted this ancient river valley forever with red memories.

The same river water, again and again dyed red, again and again become clear, again and again dyed red, again and again become clear... The river valley flowing with blood and tears and love and hatred, combing through all kinds of scars and expectations... In the alternation and continuation of change and invariance, people are obsessively searching, expecting, not sparing no danger, not hesitating to shed blood, they believe that the road ahead is like this twisting and turning turbidity and clearing of the same river, although it is meandering and twisting, bumpy, but after all, "a hundred rivers return to the sea", and the destination is the ultimate thing...
Tonghe people cultural code exploration
Located in the provincial Fanting Middle School in Yuanping City, the name of the school is named after the famous patriotic general Xu Fanting. Since its establishment, the school has been well-known in the three Jins and even the whole country, and has always led the highest level of secondary education in the city, parents are proud that their children can be admitted to Fanting Middle School, and candidates are glad to become Fan Middle School students. Since the establishment of the school, outstanding students have spread all over the country, and they have been disciplined by the motto of their alma mater all their lives.
Also concerned about it are the fathers and villagers of Yuanping City and Dingxiang County along the banks of the same river - Xishe Village, the birthplace of Xu Fanting, which was originally part of Chengxian County, and was transferred to Dingxiang County in the early 1950s - what changed was only the assignment, and what remained unchanged was that he still belonged to his son who still belonged to the same river, and he had the blood of the same river.
Looking for the spiritual veins of "Yunshui Bo huai" and "pine and cypress integrity", we can always find various traces and laws from the cultural genes of the same river basin for thousands of years. Historically, the administrative divisions have changed many times, and the ownership of this land of Jiming Three Counties has been continuously adjusted and allocated between Wutai County, ChengXian County, Dingxiang County and other counties, thus injecting extremely rich cultural elements into the Tonghe Valley. Generations of Tonghe people are known for the honesty of the Yuanping people, the open-mindedness of the Dingxiang people, and the solidity of the Wutai people. So in the past, the long life code, the unswerving gene endowment, the ancestors did not even ask what is cultural inheritance, what is the pattern of life, what is the feeling of home and country, but they know loyalty and dreams, know how to follow the ancestral precepts, know how to work hard and tirelessly...
According to the continuous discovery of the people and the consideration of relevant departments, from the stone pieces and pottery pieces of the New and Old Stone Age, to the bronze vessels, weapons, swords and coins of the Xia, Shang, Zhou and Spring and Autumn Warring States periods, all the civilizations along the river are dependent on the footsteps of The Chinese civilization, and each village is cool like a thick history of humanistic steps:

The stable social atmosphere is no longer preferred to throw guns and daggers to block the gun holes and bomb the bunkers as the heroes and martyrs who regard death as homecoming, but instead look forward to the tide, leaders and pioneers who lead the accelerated development of the economy and society.
