In the ravine, you will hear such a smooth sentence: "There is heaven on the top, Suzhou and Hangzhou on the bottom, and there is a soup pit and a pond in the middle." ”
Shangougou is one of the important sources of Taihu Lake, with Hangzhou's first peak Yaotou Mountain and the second peak Red Peach Mountain, which is composed of two scenic spots: Tangkeng and Maotang.
If you think that a ravine is a ravine, you are very wrong.
From the map, the ravine looks like a piece of emerald, embedded in the edge of Hangzhou, the "paradise on earth". This is doomed, the ravine has a rural style that is difficult to compare with the metropolis, but it has not been derailed from the outside world.
The soup pit and the maotang are like two sisters, each with its own advantages. In general, the soup pit is biased towards the natural wind, and the Maotang is biased towards the humanistic wind.
It is reported that Maotang used to use thatch, bark and other raw materials to make paper, before making paper raw materials to rot in the pond full of lime, here was originally more thatch, mass production of thatched paper, there are many rotten thatch ponds, maotang got its name.
"Red" is the first bright color of Maotang.
In April 1945, General Su Yu led the headquarters of the first column of the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region on the way south, came to The Village of Shangougou and set up a clothing factory for accompanying the army, at that time there were more than 40 sewing machines, the main means of transportation were two horses and two donkeys, white cloth was transported from Lin'an and other places, and the pond tank used by the villagers for bathing and boiling water was used as the bleaching and dyeing workshop of the quilt factory, and a batch of brand-new military supplies were produced.
Nowadays, the "New Fourth Army Military Uniform Factory Former Site" has been arranged with the New Fourth Army Military History Exhibition Hall, the Old Site of the Uniform Guangdong, the Party Group Oath Room, etc., which is one of the more comprehensive and systematic memorial halls in Hangzhou that reflects the war history of the New Fourth Army, and is listed as a red tourist attraction in Yuhang District.
"Gray" is the second brightest color in Maotang.
Everyone has seen stones, but thousands of stones piled together are relatively rare.
"Ten Thousand Horse Stones" is the precious wealth left by nature to Maotang, made of a large pile of granite rocks, like a thousand armies and horses, galloping forward, mighty and imposing.
Legend has it that when Sun Wukong, the "Great Sage of QiTian", made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, he hid the ten thousand "Heavenly Horses" he raised here, and then went to the Western Heavens with the Tang monks to learn the scriptures, but he forgot these Heavenly Horses, and after the changes of the years, these Heavenly Horses turned into stones and remained here forever.
In addition, Wanmashi also has a cultural landscape of great historical significance: the General Platform.
When the New Fourth Army arrived at Maotang that year, it was late and it was drizzling, so in order not to alarm the local people, the New Fourth Army chose to camp here. Early the next morning, the head of the unit stressed on the highest boulder "three major disciplines and eight points of attention", so that the New Fourth Army did not commit any crimes after entering Maotang. In order to commemorate the New Fourth Army, the local people called the boulder that was trained in that year "General Platform".
"Green" is the third brightest color in Maotang.
In addition to the greenery that spreads over the mountains, there is also a waterfall known as the "first slope of northern Zhejiang", which is majestic when the water is abundant, such as a dragon going out to sea, meandering when the water is dry, like a soft song and slow talk, salt or sweet, attackable and bearable.
The green mountains and green waters are still and moving, complementing each other perfectly, perfectly interpreting the spring duet.
"Antique" is the fourth brightest color of Maotang.
To this day, Maotang still retains quaint houses, all of which are two-storey wooden structure buildings, the oldest can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, the most recent is also built in the early liberation of the house, coupled with the production and life scenes such as rice cakes, brewed earth wine, grinding tofu, weaving straw shoes, weaving bamboo baskets, popcorn and other production and life scenes, colliding with local life, feeling the leisure and tranquility of paradise.
Spring ravines, there are scattered ten thousand horse stones, there are waterfalls that flow down, there are memories of old times, and it is time to step on spring and enjoy flowers.
