The thousand-year-old ancient city of Damei Shanghang has fairy mountains on the side of the water.

"Nine sisters, nine sisters, lovely sisters, nine sisters, nine sisters, fiery red stamens"

"Thousands of miles apart by the river" is like a heavenly book to people today. It’s puzzling, even when I saw the scenery on the other side, I thought there were fairy mountains and palaces!

The green grass is lush and the white mist is blurry, and there is a beautiful woman who lives by the water;

The green grass is luxuriant and the white mist is blurry, and there is a beautiful woman who lives by the water.

Yes, in Qiong Yao drama, there must be beauties on the other side of the water. The place where they live is so beautiful and fascinating. There are also many petite beauties waiting for their prince charming to come and lay flowers on the other side. !

On the other side of the river from my home, in a village a little further away, there is also an aunt named Jiu Mei. My father has always described his sister as being extremely beautiful in the world, with skin as white as snow and a mouth full of elixirs. A pair of phoenix eyes with upturned tails, a goddess with ice muscles and jade bones.

However, when I grew up and returned to the city, I went to see her across the river. Her face was full of crows in the ancient trees and the vicissitudes of the sea, but she was a kind-hearted peasant woman, the kindest peasant woman in the world!

Because she raised many children, four sons and three daughters, she had to work in the fields. So if you have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you go to the city to visit your parents and brothers? Therefore, in the south of the Yangtze River, the impression left on me is that the trees are full of pear blossoms in the spring, the rice flowers are fragrant in the summer, new rice is on the table, and the branches are covered with chestnuts in the autumn. It gives me the feeling of being remote and "thousands of miles across the river" ?

When I was a kid in Shanghang, there was no bridge. The only way to go north and south was by Shuixidu ferry! And the current floating bridge about 100 meters up from the South Bridge.

Therefore, the saying "thousands of miles across the river" is a very exaggerated statement for people living in Shanghang today.

Shanghang is bounded by Tingjiang River, with clear distinctions between north and south.

Today, there is the South Bridge in Shanghang City. One kilometer downstream, the river turns 180 degrees and circles Shuinan Village half a circle. A Rainbow Bridge is built on the same meridian, and the two bridges go straight through it. Turn the remote mountain village that seemed ancient at first into a living circle with the city!

During those two ferries, the old country people who went in and out of the city, went to the city to sell firewood and vegetables, carry manure for shopping, and carry chickens and babies on their backs to visit relatives, have become a thing of ancient times!

Today, it starts from Zijin Fortune Center, the most prosperous Jianshe Road in Shanghang, and is connected to Zhangtan Village via South Bridge and Rainbow Bridge. To the west is the Hakka Yuan Hotel and Shanghang Hospital in the new urban area, and to the east is the Hakka Yuan Hotel and Shanghang Hospital in the new city. It is an industrial park and Shanghang Administrative Service Center, three minutes away.

Now I walk on the Tingjiang Greenway at night and arrive at Zhangtan in a short time. Looking at the mountains in front of Zhangtan Village, I feel that "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and leisurely wandering in Nanshan" is very pastoral and poetic. You can have your own cabin by the river, take a summer vacation, and enjoy the pastoral scenery of clear water and blue sky!

Speaking of "thousands of miles across the river", I remember that when I was a child, my old house was on the Chengxi Water Lane, 50 meters west of the South Bridge. Outside the east fence of the current Chengxi Primary School, I still remember that the fence was covered with We, a group of children, always find ways to steal gourds and melons!

On the other side of the water are Shuinan and Changba Tou on the other side, and beyond that is Tupu. My aunt married into a farmer's family in Tupu Village.

The north of Shanghang is also surrounded by the Tingjiang River. My maternal grandmother was from Yunv Village.

The feeling of being "thousands of miles away from the river" in her place still scares me to this day!

It is now 8 minutes away from the city to Yunv Village, and it can be reached in seconds via Yunv Bridge! At the beginning, it had to be crossed twice, just like Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha protected Monk Tang in the West to obtain scriptures, and he had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties before he could reach it!

The original old road passed by the old Ximen Air Defense Corps, and then was the Wanbaoshan Cemetery where "thousands of households are singing and ghosts are singing". It is the current one. I remember that the cemeteries of my grandfather and grandmother were also there. , and was later flattened during the Great Leap Forward and the Great Steel Smelting.

Going forward is to Jiuzhou where Jiuxian River and Tingjiang River meet. Pass the first river and take a boat ride to Hufang. After that, take a second boat ride from Hufang to Yunv Village.

During the New Year and holidays, my grandmother and uncle, Ai Wu and Wu, would always wait for us dear ones to go there.

At that time, the current situation was turbulent, GDP was very low, food supply was rationed, and our lives were very difficult. The mountains on my grandmother’s house were made of dog-dried soil, which was very suitable for growing sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are sweet in the eyes of our brothers. It’s the fairy fruit, so in order to go to my grandma’s house and eat sweet potatoes, once I’m full, my grandma’s house is like Huaguo Mountain or Shuiliandong, and I’m extremely fascinated!

What's more, during the festival, the uncles of the farmers on the riverside can go to the river to net fish. Now that I think about it, the delicious fish meatballs have a lingering aftertaste, which is better than the Queen Mother's Yaochi Jade Banquet!

The first festival after spring every year is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is also the Dragon Boat Festival. The plum rain is constant and heavy, and the July Festival brings floods in summer.

On a rainy day, we brothers, holding an umbrella, holding the lapel of our mother who was carrying my sister in her backpack, competed step by step on the muddy road, not knowing the height of the sky and the depth of the earth, measuring the dirt with our small feet On the slippery path, I imagined that my grandmother’s house was nice, but too far away. In the myth, Monk Tang and his disciples went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. After all, Sun Wukong had 72 transformations and had great supernatural powers. We encountered tombs like the ghost tombs we saw on the roadside. , even if there are monsters and monsters inside, don’t be afraid! But, can we, mother, defeat the demon?

Let’s go, let’s go. Sometimes my little eyes will be obscured by the rain and mist, so I will wipe them with the back of my little hands. When my little shoes are filled with mud, I will stop, pick them out one by one, and shout at the same time. We hold on to "Mother", fearing that she will stray away from us, and that fairies and devils will drag us away!

Fortunately, even if you are scared, monsters and vixens will never pop out of the grass and bushes. There is still a little bit of hope amid fear!

, Fishing alone in the snow in the cold river. "It just comes out after being called out for a long time, that's what it's like to wait and see!"

If you encounter the market, the ferry will often be full, "the broken boat is filled with wine and the water is flowing", and "there are only a few people sighing in the ocean", which is both exciting and terrifying!

On rainy days, when the water rises, the boatman may not necessarily ferry him across. He has to do it, unless his own villagers want to make the transition. The villagers will help use bamboo poles to steer the stern of the boat, so that the boat will not be crossed. The water drifted downstream, and the frightening scene lingered all day long, causing endless nightmares!

Waiting for the rainy day, with wet clothes, cold body, and hungry stomach. Although the feeling is extremely uncomfortable, on the other side of the river, we can imagine the subtle temptations of delicious food, just like poppies, making us unable to bear it. Hidden thoughts!

When we got off the boat, the excitement of jumping out of the water and the rocking of the boat made us both frightened and curious, and we couldn't help but hold our chests down and take in big mouthfuls of cool air.

Afterwards, my uncle would wait at the river bank, hug us one by one, and ask each of us: Are you afraid of crossing the river? Isn’t it exciting? We will all answer bravely: Not afraid, uncle, just say that we are afraid of water monsters coming out of the river, which will scare people to death!
