Wentu: A wolf bullied by sheep
Alum Mountain, formerly known as Chiyan Mountain, is located in the current Town of Alum Mountain in Cangnan County, famous for its abundant alum production, and its reserves account for 60% of the world's alum reserves, which is a veritable alum capital.
Alum Mountain Alum Mining began in the early Ming Dynasty, flourished in the middle of the Pu Dynasty, flourished in the Republic of China period, and declined in the late liberation period. Because of the rugged mountain roads at that time, the boats and cars were inconvenient, and they could only be transported by hand to the destination port for shipment, resulting in different alum picking routes. In chronological order, the three main alum fronts, alum red lines, and alum algae lines are mainly based on the alum ancient road, and other branch lines are complementary.
In order to facilitate the return and return, we chose to pick the alum ancient road alum line, which is intended to start from Silver Lake Village, Zaoxi Town, Cangnan County, and cross the Ring Road to Silver Lake Village through Wujiayuan Reservoir Ferry Port 136 Bay Village One Grass White Village One Lion Boy Village One Three Creek Village One Cave Bridge One Dangerous Mouth Village back to Silver Lake Village Ring Road crossing.
The ancient road from Wujiayuan Reservoir to Thirty-Six Bay Village, just like the name of the village, has turned N turns in the mountains, along the way except for a rest point under the cliff and a pavilion, there is almost no other resting place, only knee-high grass and distant lakes and mountains as a companion, there are no cars coming and going, but it is particularly quiet and elegant.
To the Thirty-Six Bay Village, the ancient road abruptly stopped, replaced by the Tongshan Highway to Caobai Village, here except for a few left-behind elderly people, almost people go to the empty building, most of the countryside is deserted, but the gate is closed and the new temple is still standing, the small bridge next to the temple flows, the ancient trees have deep roots and leaves, a good mountain village scene.
Pass through Caobai Village to Shizai Village, re-connect with the ancient road, the ancient road meanders between the mountain streams, close to the babbling of the stream, overlooking the majestic green mountains, the terraces after the autumn harvest are particularly beautiful, as if it is a paradise.
At the mouth of the ancient road in Shizai Village, he braved the rain to go straight to Sanjoxi Natural Village, Sanjoxi Village, and happened to meet a local left-behind old man who could not understand Mandarin, and temporarily took shelter from the wind and rain in front of his house to cook rice.
At lunchtime, the old man's daughter's family, who was far away in the county town, drove to visit and brought nearly a week's daily necessities. It is learned from this that every week, the children of the elderly will come to visit regularly, and they will deeply feel the thick flesh and blood.
The village of Sanjo Creek is named after three rivers and streams flowing through it, surrounded by mountains on three sides. But surrounded by mountains, the warm winter and cool summer climate are pleasant, which is very suitable for crop growth. It is said that the persimmons here are famous for their large skin and thin fruit with a sweet core. Tall persimmon trees are full of ripe fruit, but we don't have the right picking tools to look at persimmons and sigh.
Bidding farewell to the simple old man, we left the Sanjoxi Natural Village, passed through the Tulangkeng Palace, crossed the Sanjoxi Village Committee to the Dongqiao Ferry, and the ancient road was also replaced by the simple road through the village, although the steps were light, but it always felt boring and boring, but there were two ancient and beautiful steps that made us stay foot, pressing the shutter to leave a wonderful moment.
Out of the three stream villages, take the ancient road to the Dongqiao ferry, all the way beautiful and delicious, so that you are nostalgic, that mountain, that water, that tree, that bridge, that pavilion, that temple... can not be expressed in words, but only with the heart to feel.
Leaving the Dongqiao Ferry, we embark on the most arduous and dangerous ancient road to return.
The walking fatigue and thrilling of this ancient road are sung by the Qing Dynasty Cangnan poet Hua Wenyi's "Crossing The Dangerous Mouth": "The mountain circuit is desperate, and the road is absolutely clear." Chisel stone is enough to ensure that both feet are inferior. The posterior top is connected to the front toe, and the extension is in the middle of the line. Overlooking the creek, there is no trace of deep darkness. The wall can be hundreds of feet, and the accumulation of iron is doubtful. The root is too steep, and the Kun shaft is difficult to do. The forward god has been chestnut, and the after-care is not strong. The ancient precepts of the tangtang are read with great concern. This body is like a feather, and its name is in the sky. The sun wheel is bitter and easy, leading the peak of the sun. A long roar of danger, a thousand pine winds. "Proof.
When we went down the ancient road of Chilangkeng, due to the recent excessive rain, the water level of wujiayuan reservoir rose due to excessive rainfall, flooding the ancient road leading to the village of Jiankou, and it was impossible to pass and helplessly return. Lucky arrived at the last ferry at Dongqiao Ferry before 5 p.m., left Dongqiao Ferry and returned to Wujiayuan Reservoir Ferry, ending the day with a hint of regret.
Maybe this trip is not properly arranged, or maybe it is deliberately arranged by God, and I will plan the route to complete when I have time.
