When it comes to Dali County, the first reaction in our minds is Dali watermelon and Dali winter jujube, in addition to these, Dali also has Fengtu Yicang, which stands on the old cliff on the west bank of the Yellow River, the Beiluo River of the river water soup, and the endless fertile fields.
Everywhere I walked was emotional, and that year I rode my bicycle all the way through Dali County, past Qiangbai Town, County Town, Chaoyi, Zhaodu Town, and then turned around and went south.
Fengtu Yicang is known as "the first warehouse in the world", which is not nonsense, it was sealed by Cixi Lafayette, who gave the words "tiger" and "dragon" at the top of the warehouse. In the 8th year of Qing Guangxu (1882), Yan Jingming, a scholar of Dongge University, proposed the construction of a private granary, which took four years to complete, with a history of more than 140 years.
Yan Jingming Chaoyi (originally had a county rule, in 1958 because of the construction of the Sanmenxia Reservoir abolished Chaoyi County, merged into Dali County, changed to Chaoyi Town) Zhao Du Town, then Hubu Shangshu, was a famous financial manager in the Qing Dynasty, then known as "Rescue Time Prime Minister".
Fengtu Yicang was the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units, located on the high slopes of the southwest village of Chaoyi County at that time, located in the Yellow River, Luohe River and Weihe River Golden Triangle area. East of the Yellow River beach is a good field, west of the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, north and DaiCi Cen Lou (Song), Golden Dragon Tower (Tang) echoed in the distance, south of one of the five mountains huashan, east of the Zhongtiao Mountain, the Yellow River rose again, flooded the county seat of Chaoyi, the water can not come up.
Cangcheng sits north to south, 133 meters long from east to west, 83 meters wide from north to south, 4 meters wide from north to south, and the walls are stacked with mouths, and the guards can patrol the city walls. Cangcheng opened two gates, named East Cangmen and West Cangmen. There is a pair of stone lions in front of the east and west warehouse doors, and the stone inscription "Fengtu Yicang" is embedded directly above the warehouse door.
The architectural pattern of Fengtu Yicang is a city within a city, divided into an inner city and an outer city. The outer city sits on the east facing west, according to the mountain, rammed earth to build the city, is the first line of defense of the Yicang defense, the inner city is constructed in the form of a warehouse wall, with both defense and storage dual functions.
There are 58 holes in the wall, and the walls are warehouses, arranged in intervals. Inside the walls there are brick and tile structure eaves, supported by wooden columns, which run through each other to form a circular cloister. The eaves can not only prevent rain and moisture, but also temporarily store grain for easy drying.
The warehouse is a brick kiln type, which has a unique role in the fire prevention, theft prevention and intrusion prevention of the granary. Each warehouse is 11 meters deep, 4 meters wide, and more than 90 tons of grain storage, and the whole warehouse can store a total of 5220 tons of grain. The floor of the barn is paved with pine planks, 40 cm from the ground, and there are 4 exhaust holes around the wall under the wooden board, which is conducive to air circulation and moisture discharge. This kind of warehouse shape is small and independent, which is convenient for the storage and management of rice, wheat, beans, grain and other grains according to types, dry and wet.
The wall of Fengtu Yicang warehouse is about 1 meter thick, and the wide and heavy brick wall keeps the warehouse at a relatively constant temperature state of seventeen or eight degrees Celsius all year round, which meets the requirements of low temperature, low humidity and low oxygen "three low" storage conditions for grain.
Originally, Fengtu Yicang no longer had the advantage of modern grain storage, but in order to protect this precious cultural relic, the National Reserve Grain Depot specially allocated reserves, hoping that the annual storage fee could actively maintain and protect Fengtu Yicang. Therefore, this "world's first warehouse" of more than a hundred years still continues its own function.
More than ten years after the completion of this warehouse, it encountered the Guanzhong disaster in the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), and fengtu yicang opened a relief grain, countless people were alive, and Yan Jingming was revered by people as "the prime minister who saved the time".
With the change of dynasties, how many influential figures have turned into clouds, and Fengtu Yicang is still immortal.
We descended from the old cliff of the Yellow River next to Fengtu Yicang, below the fertile wilderness, a horse Pingchuan, the joy of riding is unparalleled, all the way to Zhao Du Town. Zhaodu Town is located 25 kilometers east of Dali County, at the confluence of the Huang, Luo and Wei rivers, facing the Yellow River and Shanxi in the east, the Wei River and Tongguan in the south, and the Luo River in the west and Shayuan and Chaoyi Farms.
After checking the information, I learned that Zhao Du Town has a long history, in the Spring and Autumn Warring States period was the capital of the ancient Rui State, and its name was actually said to be because of the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin "thousands of miles to send The Beijing Niang" from here to cross the Yellow River, this legend is very interesting.
We ate the famous water basin here, no vermicelli, no coriander, drinking pure mutton soup, and the feeling is different from the water basin in Xi'an.
What I am very strange is that although the land here is flat, the villages are sparse and sparse, and the population is not very dense. The companion had a friend of Dali who talked about the Sanmenxia resettlement project.
In July 1955, the state decided to build the Sanmenxia Reservoir. The engineering hub of the reservoir was in Shaanxi County (present-day Sanmenxia City) in Henan Province, while 80% of the area was in Dali, Huayin, Huaxian and Tongguan under the jurisdiction of Weinan City in Shaanxi Province, that is, the Sanmenxia Reservoir Area of Shaanxi Province.
At that time, Huang Wanli, a water conservancy expert and professor at Tsinghua University, denied the project. He believes that due to the silt and sand of the Yellow River, after the completion of the dam, the basin above Tongguan will be silted up and will continue to develop upstream, but in 1957, the Sanmenxia Project was still started, and the fate of more than 200,000 migrants in the reservoir area changed, they left their hometowns, bid farewell to the fertile land here, and left the homeland where their ancestors lived for generations.
A few years ago, another reporter wrote about this matter, which was made by the relevant departments to make an "inter-provincial incident", which was skipped here.
After that, everyone may have heard about it, "Henan built a dam, Shaanxi suffered", the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the Wei River and other tributaries have risen one after another, and large and medium-sized cities such as Xi'an, Xianyang and Weinan have been threatened by floods, and they have been threatened by floods until today.
On the side of the road, there are many units of farms, and the crops planted are connected into pieces, which makes me grow up near Xi'an have a long insight - grain can be planted on thousands of acres of land.
Ride across the Luo River and look at the vast water surface, which is not inferior to the water of the Wei River. This is the Beiluo River, which is different from the Nanluo River that originates in Luonan and flows to Luoyang.
This river is estimated to be unknown to many people, but it is the largest river in Shaanxi, with a length of 680.3 kilometers. It originates from the Grass Liang Mountain at the southern foot of bai yu mountain and flows into the Wei River from northwest to southeast.
The formation of the sand garden in the south of Dali has a lot to do with the Luo River. The lower reaches of the Luo River, from the map of Quli Bend, the riverbed is unstable, and from 1947 onwards, it has been following the new channel into the Wei River. However, the mouth of the Luo River has changed greatly in history. During the Ming Dynasty, the bank of the Chaoyi River collapsed, and the Beiluo River was changed to directly into the Yellow River, and during the Jiaqing period, it broke out of Daqing Pass and re-entered the Wei River, and then directly into the Yellow River. After the Yellow River moved east in 1933, the Beiluo River wandered in the triangle between the Yellow River and the Wei River for more than 10 years, sometimes entering the Yellow River and sometimes entering the Wei River, and it was not fixed into the Wei River until 1947.
It is said that this time it was the Luo River that broke its embankment in the south of Chaoyi, and the affected areas were Zhao Du and Rainforest Village, which was the same as the previous location of the Yellow River.
People often say that water and fire are merciless, and this flood in Dali is some of the places where I share my ride in Dali, and I sincerely hope that the people in the east of Dali can survive this flood safely and live a quiet life for years.
