Recently, the flood of the Yi River under the dam of the Luhun Reservoir in Song County has receded, and the water has fallen out, exposing a large area of maroon stony riverbed, and the appearance of the riverbed is peculiar, attracting a large number of tourists to watch, and instantly becomes an Internet celebrity punch card.
This place is located under the dam of Luhun Reservoir in Luhun Town, Luhun Village, yihe river channel. The Yi River flows west-east along the northern foothills of Mount Funiu and the southern foothills of Bears Ears Mountain. From the source to Tangying Village in Tantou Township, it exits into Song County, passes through Yichuan, Longmen and Yanshi, joins the Luo River in YangCun, Guxian Town, and then into the Yellow River, with a total length of 264.88 kilometers and a total basin area of more than 6100 square kilometers.
The Yi River Basin is an important birthplace of civilization in Chinese history, and the verse "Crane singing in Jiugao and sounding in the sky" in the Book of Poetry - Xiaoya is recited in jiugao mountain in Song County on the bank of the Yi River. Yi Yin, China's first xiangshang xiang, was born in the empty sangjian of the town of Paper House in Song County, and took the river as his surname. The "hometown of the two cheng" brothers of the Song Dynasty Dali scholar Cheng Hao Cheng Yi is in Cheng Village, Tianhu Town, next to the Yi River.
Yao Chongzhi, the great-grandson of the Tang Dynasty minister Yao Chongzhi, was a poet who liked to visit the famous mountains and rivers, and he wrote in the "Late Crossing of Yishui":
Leisurely wading in the Water of Yi, Izumi Clear Seeing Stone. It is the time when spring is deeper, and the grass on both sides of the strait is like accumulation. Passing over to the island of Zhou, it is strange and strange. The new trees are sparsely red, and the haruka is deep blue. Looking back at Luoyang Garden, there is a long mountain separated. The smoke is like a home, and the wind and dust have become a guest. Dengzhi is very interesting, and he sees the service in the middle of nowhere. The clouds have long since dimmed, and the birds are about to set. Time passes without borrowing, transcendence from the past. What is the long journey, return to save bamboo.
In this poem, it is written that the Yishui at that time was very clear, "Leisurely wading in the Yishui, Yishui Qingshi". It shows that at that time, the stones under the water could be seen. "Passing on the island of Zhou, passing through the mountains and passing through the mountains." It shows that at that time, there were small islands, ferries and roads running through it.
In the 1960s, an army of 100,000 troops built a large-scale water conservancy project in the Song county section of the Yihe River, the Luhun Reservoir, which was designed to store 1.3 billion cubic meters of water and 50,000 mu of water. This autumn, the upper reaches of the Yi River began to rain once in a century, the Luhun Reservoir opened the floodgates to discharge floodwater, because this section of the river is close to the downstream of the reservoir dam, the spillway discharge flood washed away the river with unprecedented force, washing away all the sediment of the river, after the flood receded, the riverbed was exposed as never before.
If you look closely at the appearance of the riverbed, the exposed part is brownish red rock, and the appearance is mostly regular and irregular sinks, which is spectacular. Some are natural marks, and some are very similar to the traces of ruts. Yihe has a long history, the nearby Luhun Village was once the seat of the ancient Luhun State, and the famous idiom "Winning the Central Plains" originates from the historical event of "King Chuzhuang cut Lu Hun ZhiRong to Win the Central Plains". So people have wondered: Is this the official road of ancient times? Or the course of the Guy River?
Song County is a famous cultural tourism county, and the Yangshao Cultural Site and Liangcheng Hometown in the YiHe River Basin are national key cultural relics protection units. Luhun Lake is also a national wetland park and a national water conservancy scenic spot. The flood brought the geological landscape that was dormant underground to life, causing curiosity among local people and tourists. It is hoped that relevant experts will visit the site for investigation and investigation.
