Zixi Dajue Mountain, the deep green made people from the north envious and speechless for a while.
Because all the way through the green fields, it is the season of late rice harvesting, the rice fields skimming by the train will spread out the abundant green, and the villages with red tiles and white walls are also surrounded by dense or sparse green trees, which is very eye-catching. Unexpectedly, when I got off the train in Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and then took a car to Zixi, the green between the mountains and rivers was even thicker, but the highway was like a white practice, interspersed with ups and downs.
Entering this Dajue Mountain, it is more like being suddenly hugged by the green cluster, no longer near and far, but the grass under your feet, the bamboo forest next to you, the pine fir, the camphor tree, the green fat and red skinny people will be surrounded by people, as well as hawthorn, kiwifruit, black rice trees and wild grapes, etc., crowded together, spreading around people, looking around, high and low are the green of the water spirit.
Looking closely, the appearance is different, and many of them are not recognized, and they cannot be named. Fortunately, the mobile phone downloaded a software, there are plants that want to understand, take a picture of it, and immediately learn its honorific name, as well as the place of birth, family blood relations and so on. This leads to interesting thick-leaf hanging hooks and rice flowers.
In thousands of years or even longer, how close the relationship between people and plants should be, we can know a little from their names. For example, the thick leaf hanging hook, which grows in the valleys and swamps of Jiangxi, and the deciduous shrubs between the rocks next to the roadside, there is a string of aliases in addition to the daimyo: big leaf snake bubble, big rag thorn, tiger palm basket, September bubble... These strange names reveal people's affection and love for them, like calling the naughty children in the village: tigers, dog eggs, black babies... Just come on.
When we came to Dajue Mountain in June, it was the season when the thick leaf hanging hook blossomed and bore fruit, in the dense green jungle, it bloomed with small white and red flowers, seducing people's eyes, and when we got closer, we saw the small red fruit like agate that protruded from the flower holder, crystal clear, so that you just looked at it quietly, but you were reluctant to reach out and touch it.
And the bunch of pink and white flowers that bloom is called rice blossoms, also called Jiangnan bilberry, and there are also many aliases: summer pine, small three tendon trees, early grass acid, five tongzi, horse drunken wood, southern candles... I look at this flower, but also look at its endless names, can't help but be funny. You see it is really beautiful, the name has foreign and earthy, colorful, that is, in the past those famous literati who loved to give themselves some words, numbers, and pen names, there are few who can have the name of this rice flower.
Who gave this mountain plant so much consideration and title? They are also those who have been closest to them, the farmers in the mountains, the woodcutters, the medicine pickers, year after year, day by day, how many years and how many generations, people love and understand plants as much as they do for their own children, give their mood to them, thick leaves hanging hooks, rice flowers, all the names of plants must be so.
Industrious people gave plant names and buried their own names in the earth. The love between man and plant for generations is originally in this mutual gratitude, people chant them in words and words, and the plant dedicates fruits, flowers, leaves and roots, all to those who like it. It is said that this thick leaf hanging hook and rice flower, not only good-looking, but also can cure the disease and save people, the root leaf of the former into the medicine, has the effect of activating blood to remove stasis, clear heat and stop bleeding; rice flower is into the medicine with fruit, has the effect of reducing swelling. But this rice flower is poisonous to the whole plant, especially the beautiful bunch of white flowers is the most toxic, and it can also produce poisonous nectar, and the animal must not eat it by mistake.
It seems that all life has a personality, gentle or strong, introverted or extroverted, prefer to live alone or hug for warmth? Animals, plants, and people, like people, need to pay attention to each other in order to be at peace.

The air at Dajue Mountain is sweet and silky. Subtropical humid warm winds blow this land all year round, there is no severe cold in winter, no heat in summer, sunshine and rain never spare this place, although it has been at the junction of Fujian, but there is no typhoon disturbance, thousands of grasses and trees grow in a peaceful atmosphere, people even in the most difficult years, did not raise a sharp axe to the trees of this Dajue Mountain. Today, the forest coverage rate of Zixi County has reached 87.3%, and this Dajue Mountain has reached 98.3%.
Here, people leave plenty of space for plants and animals. The thick-leaved hanging hooks and rice flowers that come casually are only the most common, and there are also precious large-scale native southern yew trees, long-leaved fragrant trees, Bole, fragrant fruit, cobwebs calyx, beautiful hair and smile, and more than 40 kinds of national first- and second-class precious protected plants. They are in the Dajue Mountains in the south, and they are all verdant.
The road to climb the mountain is very long, but it is not difficult to walk, thanks to being in the "natural oxygen bar", people say that the negative ion content of the air in Dajue Mountain is as high as 300,000 per cubic centimeter, and even men and women with average skills have a little more strength here. On the mountain road, I saw groups of tourists, young and old, walking without difficulty.
There is a primitive forest on one side of Dajue Mountain, but on the other side, it is also inhabited, but at the top of that mountain, there is a thousand-year-old temple Dajue Temple, which has been incense as early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the first year of the Tang Zhenguan period, and it is said that it was developed and built by the Great Jue Zen master of Hangzhou Lingyin Temple, Yunyou Dajue Mountain, and developed and built, which has been repaired several times to this day. People worked tirelessly and climbed all the way, but when they approached the steaming peak of the sea of clouds, they saw a peak that was 1338 meters high and resembled a big Buddha, which was 1338 meters high and was called the Great Enlightened One. Looking up at this Buddha Mountain from far to near, I saw that the enlightened person stood with his hands hanging high, his shoulders were wide and his head was straight, and his posture was solemn, allowing the clouds to fly and not moving, which was shocking.
At that moment of silence, A small but very clear cicada chirp was heard. "I know, I know." Cicadas crow.
In the dajue mountain forest, there are rare birds and beasts such as clouded leopards, black chamois, rhesus macaques, Sumen antelope, golden eagles, yellow-bellied horned pheasants, and red-billed acacia birds, which fly in the sky, swim in the water, run in the forest, and most of the time, they avoid humans, only talk to their own groups, and occasionally make shouts and sounds. Only the golden cicada has no taboos, and it sings tirelessly from morning to night on the branches of this summer day, as if it were the spokesperson of this forest.
Therefore, when we entered the depths of Dajue Mountain, we heard the cries of cicadas, not one or two, but countless, and in this dense jungle, they shouted with carefree joy: "Know, know." ”
In the vast world, what do cicadas know? Is it called so confident? This little life had to hide in the soil for several years before it was born, up to 17 years, before it sneaked out of the dirt, then climbed up the tree, broke free of the shell, and after some metamorphosis, tried to spread a pair of wings and began its chanting. Where there are trees, there will be cicadas, and forests with cicadas will have the undisguised words of animals, as for what the cicadas sing? Only those who think that the cicada's heart is enlightened will "know."

Zixi territory of the mountains rolling hills, both valleys and hills, is extended from the Wuyi Mountains at the junction of Fujian and Gansu to the west, in the county territory, a beautiful Luxi River from the canyon from south to north, and the highest peak of 1364 meters above sea level, the east side of the amazing 300,000 acres of primeval forest Dajue Mountain is only 15 kilometers away from the county seat, it is conceivable that with such a close accompaniment to Zixi City, it should be such a rare and pleasant city.
Unlike many cities, Zixi's ring road is close to the mountain forest, when the car passes, you will be confused, the scene in front of you is obviously between the mountains, dense bushes, wet grass, a group of birds pacing on it, but also clearly see the lights on the side of the road, blink on the light, halo on the road wearing gym clothes running, you know that it is indeed a corner of the city.
The town is very small, lying flat in the surrounding of the mountain, two or three streets, a small shop, a restaurant, a Traditional Chinese medicine clinic, a stall selling vegetables and mountain goods, there are also cars, but it is not like running water, just driving unhurriedly, greeting pedestrians on the street. In fact, although the small city is simple, it should have everything in life, and the unpolluted environment and high-quality air that the small town has, many cities and places want to have, but there is no.
This Zixi, which has a population of less than 100,000, has locals, as well as immigrants from Zhejiang and other places, and there are many stories in small counties, but from history to today, among the ever-changing, it is valuable that the green style of one side of the land has been completely retained. In Zixi, the forested Dajue Mountain is not the only one, as well as Several national ecological areas such as Matou Mountain National Nature Reserve, Qingliangshan National Forest Park, Jiulonghu National Wetland Park, and South China Tiger Rewilding And Repatriation Base are all green and lush, and are undoubtedly valuable ecological resources in the post-industrial era.
For many years, the local people have carefully chosen the path of development, lest they harm nature. There was once a company that wanted to invest heavily in the construction of a large thermal power plant in Zixi, which would bring considerable economic benefits to the local area after completion, but realized that there might be air pollution and water pollution, The people of Zixi resolutely refused merchants. What is amazing is that "Zixi Bread" is actually famous all over the world. In the early 1980s, two veterans brought back to their hometown of Zixi the baking skills they learned during the army's employment training, and since then they have created miracles along the way, and small bread has become a big industry. Zixi forest is vast, in the past neither wheat nor flour mills, but now there are 40,000 Zixi people involved in the bread business, skillfully opened more than 8,000 bakeries, all over the country's large and small cities, and even as far away as Russia, Vietnam, Hong Kong, creating a stunning labor legend.
At the foot of Dajue Mountain, I personally heard an entrepreneur in Zixi talk about how he became rich by making bread from a farmer with only a few hundred yuan, and personally helped his relatives and neighbors to lead one villager after another to prosperity. At present, they have set up a large bread production base, and in front of the world's first-class modern equipment, the farmers in the former countryside are wearing white sterile overalls and are working in tall and bright factories. Zixi bread not only enabled tens of thousands of farmers and laid-off workers to embark on the road of entrepreneurship, but also created a large number of new entrepreneurs with vision and courage, but also left green mountain and forest fields.
"Ecological county, green development" has become the concept that Zixi people adhere to.
In the green sea of Zixi, there are also large areas of moso bamboo, Ci bamboo, Guanyin bamboo... Layer by layer, stack by layer, jagged. Su Shi, a literary hero who loved bamboo, once chanted, "What night and no moon? Where is there no bamboo cedar? "And here is the place to be proud, bamboo and pine are dyed on the earth, and the moon hanging high above the fresh mountain forest is particularly bright." I stood in the moonlight under the Dajue Mountain, reverie, and heard the chirping of cicadas: "Know, know." "I can't help but suddenly realize, the enlightened, the enlightened person."
