May start 1970, 10 completion 1975. After more than 40 years of water storage, no one expected that Jiaokou Reservoir in Zhangshui Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City would become an "online celebrity scenic spot" in this way.

As one of the "big water tanks" in the urban area of Ningbo, the water level of this once crystal-clear reservoir has retreated to the bottom of the reservoir, and Dajiao Village, an ancient underwater village, has once again appeared in front of the world.

It is rare to see the ancient village again, attracting many tourists to punch in. There are people who are good at taking pictures, and there are villagers who have moved away to find childhood memories. Some people even took metal detectors to the ancient village site to "dig for treasures".

Jiaokou Reservoir has become the punching point of network celebrities, and the remains of Di Ku ancient village are faintly visible.

Hydrological data show that since the second half of 2020, the effective rainfall in Ningbo is seriously insufficient. From June 10 to February 12, the average rainfall in the whole city was only 74 mm, which was less than one third of the average rainfall (225 mm) in the same period last year, approaching the historical lowest value with meteorological records. The water storage capacity of the reservoirs in downtown Ningbo, the main supplier, is obviously insufficient, and Jiaokou Reservoir even reaches the lowest water level in history.

Some netizens who often go to Jiaokou Reservoir to collect wind recalled that in September 2020, the reservoir was full of water. In June, 1 1, the water level dropped and a large area of Huangshan Mountain was exposed on the edge. At the end of February, the ruins of Dajiao Village at the bottom of the reservoir were faintly exposed. In June this year, netizens went to the reservoir again.

More and more people, including Lei Yu, a citizen of Ningbo, came to Jiaokou Reservoir to visit the ancient village.

"Friends who listened to the photography circle before talked about Jiaokou Reservoir and saw some photos in the circle of friends, so I thought about coming and seeing it." Lei Yu is a photographer. February 2 1 day is a Sunday, and he has a day off. He drove for more than an hour and came to Jiaokou Reservoir. Tourists like him come to punch in. The car stopped along the mountain road, and the villagers in the surrounding villages spontaneously maintained order at the scene. "It's too crowded. The security guard is shouting don't stop. There are still many people coming, and there is no place to put the car. "

This is not the first time for Lei Yu to come to Jiaokou Reservoir, but it is the first time for him to see such a dry reservoir: the remains of the ancient village in Di Ku are completely displayed, the outlines of rectangular and square houses are clearly visible, the cobblestone foundation is still there, and the plastic daily necessities left by the villagers after their relocation are quietly lying on the cracked soil.

"In the middle of the reservoir, the sand is thin and soft, and it feels like a desert." Jiaokou Reservoir 197 1 was opened, and 1975 was put into use. For Lei Yu, who was born in 197 1, this history is a bit strange to him. "I won't come here when I was a child. Siming Mountain is more than 30 kilometers away from the urban area, and there is no car. Just like going to Beijing. "

When he came to the scene this time, Lei Yu heard some small fragments about the reservoir from the villagers who kept order. "The older generation said that it was not easy to build reservoirs in those years. It's all manual operation, and all the soil has to be carried by people. "

Three brothers and sisters who moved from the ancient village came to find their old home.

Visitors to Jiaokou Reservoir, like Lei Yu, not only come to take photos or visit, but also come to look for memories, especially the original villagers of this sunken ancient village. They all walked slowly at the bottom of the reservoir, looking for the house where they once lived, and remembering the bits and pieces of the ancient village.

The red resources in Ningbo are mainly concentrated in Siming Mountain area, which used to be blood shed. It is not only one of China 19 revolutionary base areas, but also one of the seven guerrilla war zones in the south.

The jurisdiction of Zhangshui Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City is an important area of Siming Mountain Revolutionary Base.

Just by the roadside on the south bank of Jiaokou Reservoir, there is a monument pavilion called Dajiao "Don't forget the pavilion". Yinxian People's Government built the pavilion in July, 1997. There is a monument in the pavilion with the inscription: 194 1 On April 20th, 2008, the Japanese invaded Ningbo, and Ningbo fell ... More than 400 Japanese troops invaded the suburbs in six ways, raped and plundered, and then spilled oil and set fire to the village ... More than 20 villagers in the suburbs were killed and burned to death. After the robbery, more than 300 villagers wandered around begging, which was an unprecedented disaster in our county ... and my descendants, who took revenge, worked hard to build their hometown and make the country strong and the people rich, will never allow the enemy to occupy my land! Is to remember.

Once, Dajiao Village rebuilt its homeland with hard-working hands, but for the sake of Jiaokou Reservoir Project, the villagers moved and the ancient village disappeared into the water.

At the bottom of Jiaokou Reservoir, Lei Yu met three brothers and sisters in their fifties and sixties. They are looking for their old home.

"They said 1972 moved out, and this time my brother came back with two sisters." The old man told Lei Yu that before the relocation, there were more than 300 families in Dajiao Village. Yang is a big family, followed by Li, and there is only one family named Lu in their family. "In those days, some villagers moved out like them, and they were nostalgic. They moved to the mountains on both sides to build their own houses and became Beicun and Nanshan villages, saying that there were only a few families."

On the same day, the three brothers and sisters walked and recalled the past with Lei Yu 50 years ago. They found their home by memory: it was the village road at Qianmen, with one end leading to Jiangwharf and the other to the bus station; There is a mulberry rock, the main entrance is generally made of mulberry rock with columns on it; This should be the ancestral temple ... the old man said with great interest.

Three brothers and sisters are looking for memories.

The drop in water level reveals not only an ancient village, but also unforgettable memories.

Some busybodies even carried metal detectors and ran to the scene to "treasure hunt". Ningbo netizen Yingzhi Chineydy photo
