Tip: Weak water three thousand, take only one scoop. When we look up at the sky, we should actually look at the ground under our feet. The weak water that has been sleeping for more than 700 years, we see it again today, and believe that what it leaves us in the future must not be the black city called the City of the Dead, and our love is not just to love a woman somewhere. When I look back, I find that I am already in tears, and I don't know if these tears can be called weak water...
We've always wanted to meet the river, and when I held up my camera in front of it, we had been walking in the Hexi Corridor for more than a month. The arduous journey was exhausting, but when confronted with it, we felt like everything was over. It is very weak, but it holds up the whole desert, what else can I say?
The day before we saw it, we went all the way north from the Golden Pagoda in Gansu, the attractions of the Jinta Poplar Forest were crowded with people, there was a tourism and cultural festival, a Chinese-style crowded tourism, we did not make it lively, we kept thinking about it. After almost an hour's drive, we saw the Black River, which is wide and tile blue in the sun.
We know that the river is not very deep, but in contrast, we prefer the river to drift endlessly, which makes people feel a lonely atmosphere.
The rivers of this world are silent, and this black river certainly does not have any amazing magnificent language, sparkling, clearly bringing a little blue sadness to our eyes and vision.
Here, Heihe, as if tired, was like a very tired and tired person suddenly lying on the ground, and even unbuttoned his clothes, so that people could see its internal organs and thoughts at a glance. The center of the river and the bank of the river are the images of water flowing through, and the zigzag imprints are so beautiful that people want to reach out and touch it.
It is also here that the Black River has its name, weak water, and its atmosphere is in this "weak" word.
Weak water, the word, the Classic of Mountains and Seas says: There is water in the north of Kunlun, and its strength cannot overcome mustard, so it is called weak water. Later, it generally referred to the distant and sinister rivers, or the vast rivers and rivers of the ocean, "The Ten Continents of the Sea, Fenglin Zhou": "Fenglin Island, in the middle of the West Sea, the place is fifteen hundred miles, and there are weak waters around the continent on all sides, and the red hairs do not float, and they cannot be crossed." "Weak water is also another name for the section of the Heihe River in China from Dingxin in Jinta County to Xixin Village in Ejin Naqi Lake.
Fenglin Zhou is a place name in ancient Chinese myths and legends, in the middle of the West Sea, fifteen hundred miles away, has nothing to do with the river we see, but "hong mao does not float" in our eyes is the clean tile blue; "can not be crossed" is the black in the tired open. Our hearts become distant and mysterious because of this hit river.
The bridge across the banks of the river is so majestic that I took a picture of it under the bridge, not so much admiring the bridge as praising the Black River. Over the years, China has built countless such bridges, which are more atmospheric than this, but there is only one Heihe River. Weak water, weakly, stretches the meaning of the river to the limit, making people think of poetry--you are not moving in this wasteland, but you are in the silence.
Lu Xun's "Untitled": "The heart is vast and even Guangyu, and the thunder is heard in the silent place." "At this point, it could not be more appropriate to use it for weak water.
Weak water first appears in the Shang Shu Yu Gong: "Guide weak water to Heli." Sun Xingyan's "Shang Shu Jin Gu Wen Commentary": "Weak water out of Zhangye." According to ancient texts, weak water is also found in the "History of Dawan Biography", "Hanshu Geographical Chronicle", "Later Hanshu Dongyi Biography" and so on.
Heli Isheli Mountain, the ancient Kunlun Mountain, is a fairyland where mythical figures live in ancient myths and legends. According to historical records, Mount Heli is one of the three major places where the ancient Fu people observed the stars and worshipped the heavens. This is actually the myth of the Black River, the myth of the weak water, the myth we all share.
However, the fact is that Heli Mountain is located in the middle of the Hexi Corridor in Zhangye City, Gansu Province, at an altitude of 1380-2278 meters. To the north of the mountain is the Tengger Desert and badain Jaran Desert in Inner Mongolia; the south of the mountain and the Qilian Mountains are far away, and between the two mountains is the famous Hexi Corridor. This is also our pursuit for more than a month – the history of the ecology of the Hexi Corridor.
Although the Hexi Corridor has been left here, we can still say without this river called weak water from the Hexi Corridor, and the land and cities of Inner Mongolia to the north must not escape the fate of the Black City.
Located 25 kilometers southeast of Dalaihubu Town, Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia, the Ruins of The Black City is the most complete and grandest ancient city site on the ancient Silk Road. It was founded in the ninth century AD during the Western Xia Dynasty, and because it is located in the Juyan region, it is part of the Juyan civilization.
The word "Juyan" is a Xiongnu word meaning "heaven". In 121 BC, after the Han general Huo, who was in his early 20s, broke the Xiongnu with illness, the Han Dynasty created a splendid Han civilization in the Juyan region. However, in the middle of the 14th century, the black city became a lonely city in the sand sea due to the depletion of water sources, and it was hundreds of years of "sleeping" in the desert.
In 1886, the Russian scholar Potanin discovered the Black City during his expedition to Ejina. In April 1908, the Russian explorer Kozlov excavated a large number of Western Xia cultural relics here, including the precious Chinese and Xia Texts of "The Pearl in the Palm of the Fan-Han Combination", "Yin Tong", "Wen Hai" and other ancient books, which caused a sensation in the archaeological and historical circles.
This is a digression of archaeology, but they tell the civilization of the Black River and the Black City in the red willow and poplar of the desert and the long yellow sand.
A river thus nourishes one side of the land.
From the map data, the weak water is also known as the Ejina River, and to the north of Huxi New Village, it is divided into two branches, the west branch is called the West River and the Mulin River, and the north flow flows into Gashun Nuoer; the east branch is called the East River, also known as the Narin River, and the north flow flows into Sugunor. The two lakes are collectively known as JuyanHai. The West and East rivers are also known as the East Weak Water River and the West Weak Water River. It is a difficult branch of a river with feeding.
According to the data of the 1962-1970 West River Lege Ao Bao Station and the East River Baodug Station, the annual runoff of the two rivers added up to only 420 million cubic meters, and the Middle East River accounted for 80%. Since 1970, due to the continuous reduction of water, Sugunor has long dried up into a saline beach, and although Gashunor is a salt lake, it has maintained a certain water surface, and it has dried up in recent years.
Weak water! Black River!
Shortly before I went to space town, we stayed. The hostess is a Sichuan woman, married to a man who will not only open a hotel but also a restaurant. A small town's hotel facilities are rudimentary, but the price is not negotiable, and it is a love attitude, a pound of lamb in the city is only seventy or eighty yuan, but in her place it is 260 yuan.
Understandably, this year is a year of abundant water, the ecology of this area is much better, more people come to travel, and the business of Aerospace Town is very good. But what I didn't expect was that there was actually a pool here, the water was very clear, the water and the waterside were all the old people exercising in the town, and the weak water here supported a bright world and no desert smell of air.
The pool is surrounded by trees, some of which are weeping willows, like beautiful people at the water's edge, and a wave of turquoise is thrown into the pool. The greatness of the river is also in that reflection. The next day after the space town is a desert, there are no more villages, at this time, we are only 70 or 80 kilometers away from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Gobi or Dongfeng Space City.
On the edge of a beacon stood a tall modern signal tower, and on the left side of the road we met with weak water, and I took the picture that was not beautiful at all. However, there is one thing in the Space City that makes me feel more touched than seeing weak water - the officers and soldiers have planted a verdant patch near the launch tower, the green of the desert Gobi moisturizes our eyes all the time, and in front of a woodland, a sign is erected, which reads: Protect the ecology, the contribution is in the contemporary era.
In this place where human beings can go to heaven, the officers and soldiers are not only concerned with the sky, but also on the ground, which is also given by weak water.
In literary works, weak water is extended to love the river and love the sea, the so-called "weak water three thousand, only take one scoop". His first formal proposal in the "Dream of the Red Chamber" the 91st time indulgent heart Bao Toad design cloth doubts Bao Yu vain talk Zen: Dai Yu said: "Sister Bao and hello how are you?" How about Sister Bao not being nice to you? Sister Bao was good to you before, and now how about you not being good with you? How about being good with you today and not being good to you later? You're good with him, he's not good with you, how about you? You don't get along with him, he wants to be nice to you how about you? Bao Yu stayed for half a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Let the weak water three thousand, I will only take one scoop to drink." Dai Yu said, "Why is the drifting water of the Scoop?" Bao Yu said, "Non-scoop drifting water, water flowing freely, scoop self-drifting ears!" Dai Yu said, "The water stops sinking, why not?" Bao Yu said, "The Zen heart has become muddy, and mo dance partridge to the spring wind." Dai Yu said, "The First Precept of Zen Gate is not to use swear words." Bao Yu said, "It's like the Three Treasures." ”
Since then, men and women have sworn to begin to use weak water three thousand to take a scoop of clichés. In the novels of Gu Long and Jin Yong, this has been mentioned dozens of times, and every time the handsome male hero is harassed and pursued by a large group of beautiful girls with spring hearts, he will say to the heroine: Weak water three thousand, I only take a scoop to drink. Rest assured, then the male hero will blossom into a spring and another... Alas, weak water, the narrative here has nothing to do with love, the desert of spring and spring is approaching here, and our ecological walking for more than a month is not a scoop, not even a drop.
Returning to Aerospace Town from The Space City, we went to the Right Banner and then to the Left Banner, and then back to Yinchuan, and the journey was surrounded by a vast desert at any time. At this time, in addition to thinking of weak water and thinking of the billboard about ecology in the space city, we think of the most sentence: The history of mankind is actually written by the river.
Weak water three thousand, take only one scoop. When we look up at the sky, we should actually look at the ground under our feet. The weak water that has been sleeping for more than 700 years, we see it again today, and believe that what it leaves us in the future must not be the black city called the City of the Dead, and our love is not just to love a woman somewhere. When I look back, I find that I am already in tears, and I don't know if these tears can be called weak water... (Wen | Lusheng)
