Qingshuigou is a ditch on Dong Zhiyuan.

With this name stained with water vapor, we know that there must be a river in the ditch, and the river is very clear.

I like all places where there is water, so I'm happy to go there. Drive to Qingshuigou, located in the east of Xifeng, all the way south, near the east gate of Fenghuang Dajing, and turn east into a country road. The car turned around the cornfield and finally stopped at the edge of the plateau. Qingshuigou suddenly appeared in our field of vision.

This is a gully hidden between two terraces in the suburbs. Qingshuigou, like other gullies on Dong Zhiyuan, is also a huge gap that suddenly cracks in the flat loess garden. Hegoutuan Hot Spring in the north, Guobao Village in the east and Balimiao Village in the east in the south. The ditch is not very deep, but the steep slope folds unique to the Loess Plateau are open to the north and south in layers.

It was when the morning sun rose, and in the morning glow, the thick green flooded everything in Qingshuigou. Standing by the ditch, I can't see clearly what trees are there, but I can see the green all over the mountain, which is obviously black, ups and downs, piling up and down, showing a magnificent charm.

We went all the way down the mountain, and there were many trees and acacia trees on the roadside. Red and purple Sophora japonica flowers, in clusters, are tightly crowded together on thin pedicels, like purple butterflies, looking forward to brilliance. I can't help reaching out to touch it. My friend said let's go. There are many real butterflies in Qingshuigou.

As soon as the voice fell, a butterfly appeared between her fingers. I saw the golden butterfly skirt flapping gently, mottled spots flashing in the sun, like an angel in a beautiful dress, which made people pity. The friend gently loosened his finger and the butterfly suddenly flew away.

The farther you go, the more butterflies you see. Butterflies play and dragonflies fly. A blue dragonfly flew over and landed on the grass tip by the roadside, and a drop of crystal dew fell silently in the grass. It is said that the dragonfly is the insect with the most eyes in the world, but when I keep pressing the camera, it still stands there and becomes an ancient poem. Is it trying to tell me the joy of flying?

We chased butterflies to the bottom of the ditch, and there were many butterflies at the foot of the mountain. Colorful butterflies fly before our eyes, sometimes landing on petals, sometimes flying into the grass, and sometimes stopping on the gravel road. They don't seem to be afraid of people at all, but when I reached out to catch them, the butterfly immediately dodged and jumped on the leaves in the distance.

A delicate fragrance with the smell of vegetation came to the nose-it was acacia flowers. A string of porcelain-white Sophora japonica ears, with a faint luster. Looking at the clean and full petals on the tree, my friend immediately pulled down the thin branches and began to pick them.

There is an alfalfa field on the dam. The finely divided alfalfa blooms brightly, and bees rise and fall between the stamens of Sophora japonica and alfalfa. Surrounded by the sweet and greasy aroma of Sophora japonica honey, thousands of flowers in Qingshuigou only bend over for bees.

In the rainy season in Longdong Plateau, green plants spread in Qingshuigou, and Pinus tabulaeformis, Platycladus orientalis, willow, Catalpa bungeana and Toona sinensis flourished. The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves and is mottled on the gravel road. Stepping on a large shade of trees, walking along the ditch bank with one foot deep and one foot shallow. If you are not careful, the skirt will be caught by the branches hanging obliquely. Bowing our heads through the bushes, at the end of the path, a water storage dam blocked our way.

I always thought that "the river is as blue as blue" is the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. When I arrived at Qingshuigou, I suddenly felt that the water in Longdong Plateau was quieter and greener. The blue sky and big white clouds are reflected in the middle of the lake. The undulating mountains, trees and lush aquatic plants on the bank of the ditch dyed the surrounding lake deep and shallow green. Blue and green, layer by layer, blend together quietly.

I really want to pick up a stone and throw it into the lake. I want to see the stone cut through the calm lake, roll up the vortex and swing away in circles. Clusters of small locust trees surfaced, thin branches spread out, small leaves glistened in the sun, and green colors flowed. There are also dead trees that escape from the water and extend to the trunk in the air, which may be their last stubbornness. The wind in the valley, with a hint of coolness, swept the dam without hindrance, and it was very quiet around. Take a deep breath of fresh air. This is just natural oxygen. At that moment, I couldn't wait to share it with others, but I was afraid that too many tourists would disturb the unique tranquility of Qingshuigou.

I found a small forest by the ditch and sat on the ground. The sun shines on the treetops, and the golden spots are scattered on the grass and on us. Light and shadow are clear and dreamy. Most of the surrounding trees are not very dense, and all the trees grow straight up in a dense space. Natural selection is only for exploring the bright sunshine.

We crave the light and shadow in the forest, sit under the tree and don't want to move. Birds in the forest also sing softly, with short duration, high and low duration, clear and long. The empty mountain after the rain has vast forests and quiet valleys. There is an oriole singing in the tree. It is so beautiful and elegant.

From the mouth of the ditch to the depths of the dense forest, the lotus pond, the turtle landscape pond and the three water storage dams are all filled with green water. In the shade of green trees, I vaguely saw someone fishing and walked down the ditch bed out of curiosity. They didn't speak, just sat by the lake and stared at the movement in the water.

Squatting by the lake, watching the thin long fishing rod fall into the bottom of the water, the end of the fishing rod is heavy hope. After squatting for a long time, I realized. Perhaps in the eyes of anglers, it doesn't matter whether they are full of harvest or empty-handed. Sitting by a quiet lake, I forgot everything. It's already beautiful.

"I always remember the sunset in Xiting, and I don't know how to return home." Stop-and-go, throw away the downhill road and return from Xigoukou. At the foot of the mountain, I heard the gurgling sound of running water, pushed away the wet green plants and tried to find out, but I was stumped by the creeping shrubs under my feet. Call or stay?

When we looked up, we found that there were also exposed loess layers on the steep gully on the north slope, but these, like the soil under our feet, could not affect our mood. At that moment, the trees were swaying, the mountain springs were gurgling, the wind was gently shaking Sophora japonica, and the sheep on the western hillside were still eating its grass. Everything is so safe.

Qingshuigou is a ditch, and Qingshuigou is not just a ditch.
