Dahe Village, Taihang Mountain Grand Canyon

Dahe village Ji

one

I don't know why, in my inner world, I feel that I have found the big river pass.

That year, ten years after climbing, a climber fell off a cliff because of knee problems and died shortly after being taken to the hospital. I have been paying great attention to safety since climbing the mountain. Unexpectedly, something happened after taking a very common route. This proves once again that mountaineering itself is a dangerous thing. Walking along the Xihe River for a while, aimlessly, looking for ancient villages and roads, looking for river valleys and streams for a while.

There are no mountains in the world, which may be the feeling of walking too far for ten years. When I first started climbing the mountain, as soon as I heard that the route had not passed, I was in a hurry to contact, find a guide and ask tourists. On the contrary, there is no passion for the scenic spot. I feel that the scenic spots are all elegant young women, many of whom are artificially carved. The beauty of a scenic spot is like a concentrated bonsai, with no wildness and too many artificial elements. Yes, I have been asking myself, what is the most beautiful scenery in Taihang Mountain? I have studied photography for many years, and I have seen the sunrise in Taihang Mountain, especially the unique sunrise, which only appears at certain moments. Taihang in the rain, that charm, Taihang after snow, that coldness, and a Taihang beauty that can only be understood but not expressed.

Walking along a river records the feelings of a river, that is, just listening to the village name is an interesting thing. Eyugou, Yang Jiachi, Shangqiao, Xi, Dong 'an?

In spring, peach blossoms are in full bloom in Shan Ye, followed by apricot, plum, pear and apple blossoms. There are wild vegetables, day lilies, dandelions, wild leeks, Sophora japonica and Toona sinensis all over the mountain. In short, walking along a river full of childhood memories is also an empty mountain. Come near the pond, sit on the stones in the river, watch wild reeds, listen to birds, listen to the singing of a stream, watch the clouds flowing in the sky, and wash away the inner noise.

Sometimes go to the end of the water to seek the source, or sit and watch the ever-changing clouds rise.

One day, I parked my car in Dahe Village. There is a scenic spot in Dahe Village called Qinglong Gorge, and there is a tower on the other side called Bergamot Tower. I think I know this village very well, because I have driven this village several times before. If someone asks me, have you been there? I would definitely say that I have been there.

My wife and I walked into the village in this mood. To my surprise, I found something I didn't expect.

Daheguan, an ancient pass, came into my sight in this way and even visited it several times. On the Internet, my friend asked me where I was, so I became a commentator and a tour guide.

When I am free, I will lead my friends to Dahe Village to see the ancient Daheguan. I've always wanted to introduce Dahetong to more friends.

When it comes to Dahe Village, it is necessary to say a river. This river is called Xihe by Linzhou people, then flows into Qihe River and then into Weihe River.

Dahe Village is in the east of Qinglong Gorge.

When I was a child, Linzhou called the Xihe Ancient Road a river ditch, and Huguan called Longquan Gorge. It can be seen that different perspectives have different names.

The Book of Songs once said: The water is flowing in Tang Tang, the car is sinking, the water is flowing leisurely, and the boat is loose. The spring and autumn woman who is considering getting married, can she see the scenery of Jiaogou River, one of the sources of Qi water and Qi water?

In Dahe Village, the north bank of the river is parallel to Jiaogou River, which is an ancient road, called Ling Xue Road in ancient times, and is the main road of Shanxi and Henan.

Dahe Village, located about five kilometers east of Qiaoshang Township in Huguan County, is a quiet mountain village deep in Taihang Mountain. Located in the canyon, the village consists of natural villages such as Dongpo, Poxia, Shang Ping and Hounao, with about 200 households and more than 800 people.

Guangxu edition of Shanxi Tongzhi records that there is an ancient cave-Ling Road in Dahekou, southeast of Huguan County 140, leading to Linxian County. It has a camp and a Rika. To its north is Yu Xia Pass, which is the ancient Yangchang Saka, where there is flood. Its east exit is called Garden Ladder and Golden Temple, which leads to Linxian County. From Guanguan to Hekou, that road is called Wulichan.

Since the completion of the expressway, many ancient roads have been abandoned. In recent years, the village began to renovate the ancient road, and stood at the eastern end of the village, separated by brick gates from Chen Qi. The door is engraved with: Dong Jun Heavy Truck. This pass was established in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty 1 1. His main role at that time was to prevent peasant rebels from entering Shanxi, where a pass was built. This ancient pass was destroyed by war during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period and was restored last year.

Stepping on the ancient road, between the two passes and above the valley, there is a Qingshi arch bridge called "Trestle". Without this bridge, it is difficult to cross this valley. Its introduction card reads: Huguan County Records: "The trestle bridge is located at the intersection of Nanhe (now Dahe Village) in the county seat, and the land is Jin-Yu Tunnel ..." It has been more than 200 years.

I always thought there must be temples in ancient villages. After crossing the stone arch bridge, I will see a Kannonji. The ditch river is above a boulder at the intersection of Guanlongxi. Covering an area of 450 square meters, there are 3 buildings in Bunan Temple, the east stage 1 and the wing 13. These walls are made of bare rocks. A hundred years later, they are still strong. The temple was flooded at 1940, only three steps away from the temple level. More than 30 officers and men stationed in the temple knelt down to pray. After the flood receded, the temple was intact. Of course, I know this is a legend. People in China say that Buddhism is boundless.

On the ancient road less than two meters wide, bluestone was polished as smooth as a mirror by time, and the crevices were covered with grass. This ancient road makes people suddenly blur the length of time, as if it were just a flick of a finger from ancient times to the present. One horseshoe print after another on the ancient road, big and small, deep and shallow. At this time, it is the beginning of a rain in early summer. Horseshoe is full of water, and the clear water reflects the sun and shines brightly, just like the eyes of history, watching the loneliness of this river and the noise of this mountain.

The ancient road before Guanqian is only 4 meters wide and about 50 meters long, covering an area of 200 square meters. Not to mention hundreds of troops wielding knives and sticks, this place is full. Guanlou sits west facing east, with a length of 5. 1 m from east to west and a width of 6. 1 m from north to south. The existing main structure is a relic of the Qing Dynasty. The entrance of Zhongquan is 3. 1 m high and 2.9 m wide, and the word "Daheguan" is faintly visible.

There are ancient customs, and the entry into the customs is the deliberation room of that year, that is, three rooms, made of blue bricks. Just locked, I can only imagine that countless people came here and had to face the inspection of officers and men. Going up again, it is the salt shop of that year. China has implemented the franchise of grain and salt for a long time, which is also an important source of national tax revenue.

Walking in ancient villages, you can see the historical relics left behind, and sometimes you can hear the ancient mysteries you have never seen before. Once again, he walked into the Daheguan official office, and the old man living in the old courtyard enthusiastically told us the old story of Daheguan, pointing to a high platform at the door. He told us that when he was a child, there was an old fort here.

It's only a matter of time before one person is above ten thousand people.

Looking back at Chang 'an, Mount Li is like a pile of splendid scenery, and the gates of Huaqing Palace on the top of the mountain are opened in turn. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south. In my imagination, riding a horse, one post after another, is not a letter, but baskets of fresh lychees, which makes people drool. I was born in the north and have never eaten litchi.

A post station refers to a place where people who delivered government documents changed horses or rested in ancient times.

In the village by the river, there are several ancient trees growing in the crevices by the river, looking at this real post office. This is a quadrangle, which faces south and faces the river. There is a framed stone in front of it, which is carved from blue stone. The door is closed, but time seems to be divorced from history. Outside of us, but in time, while looking for, while losing.

Broken bridge outside the post, lonely field race. It's dusk. I'm alone. It's windy and rainy.

Plum blossoms don't want to compete for blooming, and the envy and rejection of flowers don't care. Even after autumn, when it is ground into dirt and turned into dust, plum blossoms still emit fragrance as usual.

I don't know why I stood in front of the post, but I remembered this poem by Lu You. Of course, the most striking thing is the poem by the chairman, which sends spring back after the storm and welcomes the spring with snow. Although the icicles on the cliff are still hanging for miles. There is a sweet flower in it. Joe doesn't fight for spring, he only reports it. When the flowers bloom in spring, she laughs in the bushes.

My thoughts are flying, and I am glad to see the old post office, which I never thought of. Of course, Li Zicheng was a post-courier who rebelled after losing his job. Wang Yangming was in Guizhou Post Station, and he realized the establishment of Yangming's theory of mind.

Inadvertently walking, as if walking in historical time and space, ancient buildings exist and become a symbol. Standing by the Zhanshui River, it seems that you can see the passage of time. Aren't we also symbols of passage?

People, like vegetation, are just a speck of dust in the world. Knowing past lives makes people relaxed and quiet.

Yes, an ancient pass is so magnificent in my own imagination. It may be that I have read too many novels, and there is always a taste of Jin Yong's novels. That autumn, I approached Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world, saw this Xiongguan, and learned the story behind this Xiongguan, only to know that the people in the story were far richer than an ancient pass. Later, I walked on Taihang Mountain and saw Hongtiguan and Yu Xia Pass. Walking into the history of mountains, the history of mankind is better.

Daheguan is the same, but it feels different from other places. It may be easier to come to Daheguan, but what are you looking for? I don't have a clear goal. I want to let go of my mood and look for things outside the ancient customs, as well as the water in the Xihe River, the ancient trees by the river, the fish swimming in the river and the sunrise in Daheguan.

When was Daheguan built? I can't find it anywhere. Only in the Qing Dynasty's "Huguan County Records", Xianfeng added a six-year flood season general garrison. As for when the present Guancheng was built, there is no way to verify it. However, from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China, it has always been a strategic location and passage for Shanxi and Henan. Even in today's convenient transportation, it is still an inter-provincial artery from Changzhi to Henan.

It is about the humanities of this ancient road.

It is difficult to go north to Taihang Mountain. Sakamoto Road is a bumpy road with bumpy wheels. The wind whistling in the trees and the north wind howling in sorrow. When the bear was on the sidewalk, tigers and leopards stood on both sides of the street howling. The valley is desolate, sparsely populated and covered with heavy snow. Looking up, the long voice sighed, and the long journey was continuous. How sad I am and I really want to go back to my hometown. The bridge is too deep to enter, and the army is on the road. This is a poem in A Journey to Bitter Cold, which also describes the hardships of taking the ancient road in those days.

"Yesterday, I waded through Zhangshui and drove to the West Field. Looking at the forest and green mountains from afar, the sky is blue. I met Feng Ercao and said that the monarch lived in a rock. Luo Jing hangs wild vines and stone houses lean on ladders. In autumn, there are hundreds of medicinal seedlings. Li Lin crossed the valley mouth and Shu Shusen returned to the stream. " The poem, written by Gao Shi, a poet in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, is entitled "The seventeen mountain people in Song Dynasty are different when they are worried about the forest".

"Yuanhe County Records" contains: 350 miles from Dongling Road in Luzhou to Xiangzhou (now Anyang). Daheguan didn't exist at that time, but it was just a strategic place. At the same time, there is another person who takes this as the key point-the plum calyx in the last year of Tianbao, which was in 755 AD. Yan Zhenqing is a great calligrapher in the history of China. During the Anshi Rebellion, he fought back, and seventeen counties nearby responded one after another. He was elected as the leader, and 200,000 soldiers stopped An Lushan's radical steps. Li Chen, a counselor of Yan Zhenqing, once planned the situation in Hebei for Yan Zhenqing. One of Li's strategies is to establish a career.

The ancient pass is a book. And this book is exactly what I have been looking for many times in Dahe Village. I have read Dahe Village, maybe Taihang Mountain, and half the history of China.

Most people in the village have opened farmhouses, and the village also invited photographers to take beautiful photos to show Dahe Village. The spring flowers are brilliant, the willows are green, the ancient roads are long and the buildings are magnificent. A friend once told me that a photographer once stood in front of the Buddha's Shouta and took a picture of Dahe Village in the snow, and named it Potala Palace. Because Dahe Village is located on a cliff, all the way up from the river bank.

Dahe Village, like other rural areas, now most people have bought houses in the county and lived in the city most of the time. Most of the people who stay now are old people.

An ancient custom, an ancient village, as if there should be an ancient temple, there must be an ancient temple. That year, I approached Songshan Shaolin Temple and looked at Damocles Cave, as if there were stories between mountains and rivers. Wutai Mountain, Qinling Mountain, Lushan Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain are inevitable. Although I am not a Buddhist disciple, Buddhist culture must be in the mountains and rivers.

Buddhism in spring. When Master Rui returned that year, I saw a big Buddhist event, probably in spring. Willow in spring, grass in spring, people in spring. When I think of Dahe Village, I think of that Buddhist event.

There is a mountain at the east end of Dahe Village, and the people in the mountain named Foshan.

In Dahe Village, when you walk to the Shouta of the Buddha, you can see two big words of thanks on a big stone. This is the handwriting of Master Rurui, whose ancestral home is in Henan. 1957 Taiyuan native, became a monk in the early 1980s. He is the vice chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association.

Dahe village is her grandmother's home. A few years ago, she built a beautiful house to repay her kindness. Later, the Shouta of the Buddha was built.

I don't know Buddhism, but I like visiting ancient temples. Through the burning incense of that pillar, I can see the hearts of one person after another.

Buddha is an awakened one and a bodhisattva, and you are willing to serve the people selflessly and fearlessly.

There are many flowers in Dahe Village, especially the flowers in spring, the coolness in summer, the red leaves in autumn, the snow in winter, and the scenery everywhere.

By the way, the stage in Dahe Village, the mountain people also invited social operas in spring.

An ancient village is a play, and the operas are changing, and the changed operas are history. Ask the old man in the village, and he will tell you that maybe he is the descendant of the customs officer, the descendant of the salt shop, or the descendant of the post chef. Stories from generation to generation have become life from generation to generation.
