Walking into Genfang's Prose

Genfang is an ancient village. The geomantic position of the village coincides with the position of "Gen" in the eight diagrams compass, so it is named Genfang.

in the long river years, I walked into the roots countless times. Walking into Genfang seems to be an indissoluble bond in my life, which has been persistently performed on me for countless times.

I was a teenager when I first entered Genfang. At that time, I followed the footsteps of adults to go to the fair in Wei Town, or go to Baijia Middle School. I passed through Genfang, a medium-sized village, countless times. When I started from the village of Jiuxian Fengshi, eight miles away from the south, I walked along the country road extending to the north, strung fields into lanes, and finally climbed a higher slope in Hujinao for a kilometer, the land of Genfang stepped on my tired feet.

in my eyes, gen Fang is undoubtedly a treasure trove of feng shui. Standing on the climbing platform of Baijia, we can see that the territory of Genfang is in a unique position. It is adjacent to the prosperous Wei town of Baijia in the north, the rippling Ganjiang River in the west, and fertile farmland in the east and south. The traffic arteries in Genfang are in the right place at the right time, and the country roads running from north to south are mighty beside the skin of the village. The busy Baijia Ferry gently lives in the "back garden" of the village.

Genfang has a vast land area. If it is a large land, generously describe the unique territory of the village. At the pavilion of the carved fence, there are both ancient trees leaning against each other and a group of herons dancing in clouds. Although the building distance between houses is too large, it is too big for each other to feel the temperature of living in groups. However, it is the richness of the land in front of the house and behind the house that makes the vegetable fields here all distributed, with a few beds of leisure, fragrant melons and fruits, lush and lush, and enjoying the beauty of the warm picture scroll of the farmhouse.

In the years to come, I thought that going into Genfang would become a stranger in my life and would drift away with the passage of time. However, after working in the county, my wife works in Baijia Hospital. On weekends and holidays, I often go to Baijia for vacation.

after the relocation of Baijiaju Street, my lover was transferred to the county to work. After that, I never had a chance to go into Genfang again for more than ten years. Although my mother-in-law's house is also near Genfang, every year I pay a New Year call to my mother-in-law's house, but I never come and go in a hurry, and I have never set foot in Genfang for a long time.

On the second day of the first month of this year, I went to my mother-in-law's house to pay a New Year call, and my younger sister Xiao Li also came over. At lunch, Xiao Li said excitedly, "Genfang is the birthplace of Baijia wine!"

I asked, "Where did you hear that?"

Xiao Li said, "I've just been to Gen, and it's written on the building there. Last year, I saw a rural tourism propaganda film on TV and learned that the construction of a new countryside in Fufang was doing well. After coming, I went to Fufang to experience the achievements of beautiful countryside's construction. "

After listening to this, I really want to go to the scene to feel the atmosphere at once. After returning from Tian Xin, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon, and I hurried to Genfang with my wife and Quanquan.

At the fork in the village, a new archway appears. The frame archway decorated with blue bricks is simple and bright, showing a little delicate in simplicity, and the word "Genfang" is written on the front.

when you walk into the archway, a refreshing spring breeze of construction hits your face, and the sunshine that shines at the moment is particularly dazzling. The old house and the new house complement each other, and the present situation after the change of the village makes it impossible for me to capture the old appearance from the impression. Every channel in the village is poured with cement, and the villagers' foot path can no longer find a mud road that remains in my memory. There is a brick wall around the pond, and there is a railing on the brick wall. The railing is equipped with a grid guardrail, and the guardrail is painted with green paint. Brick walls are built under the pocket of each ancient camphor tree, and each vegetable field is divided with red bricks.

Behind the archway is an open flat, where hundreds of jars gather. In the front and center of the jars stands a guide card, which reads: The wine smells good.

"Yaotou Tofu Baijia Wine." I have heard this sentence for a long time. The tofu made in Yaotou Town is famous, while Baijia is famous for wine. Baijia rice wine has been famous since ancient times. According to legend, during the Song Tiansheng period, Ouyang Xiu tasted Baijia rice wine when he visited Baijiahan Mountain Temple, praising it as "wine makes people drunk". There is also a record in Biography of Wine Sellers written by Wei Xi, a famous essayist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties: "There are wine sellers in wanan county, who make a fortune by making good wine, and they will never deceive others all their lives".

In ancient times, there was a custom of brewing wine in Genfang. With the first-class local water quality and sincere attitude towards others, Baijia wine gained a good reputation in Fiona Fang. The quality of Baijia wine has the characteristics of luster, transparency and mellow taste. Although the pure manual brewing process is simple, the steps and processes are rigorous. First, select high-quality glutinous rice and soak it; Secondly, the soaked glutinous rice is filtered, poured into rice retort, and steamed by fire; Mix the ingredients again, loosen the steamed rice grains, pour them into a clean big water tank, add a small amount of water into the water tank, and then add a proper amount of distiller's yeast; Finally, the cylinder is sealed, and when the fermentation is sufficient, the cylinder can be uncovered. If you make it into white wine, you have to add a few more processes.

Baijia wine is rich and fragrant, overflowing with fragrance and fragrant in Wan 'an. Drinking Baijia wine is not only pure glycol, but also simple folk customs and pure people's hearts. This cup of fragrant Baijia wine, along the tunnel of time, seems to convey the glory and glory of the past, as if graceful and restrained Baijia's once lively and prosperous.

After staying in Baijia for more than ten minutes, we came to an original scenic spot-Gushi Mountain.

Gushi Mountain, located hundreds of meters away in the northwest of Genfang Village, was declared as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in December 199 and is an ancient building in the Ming Dynasty. It sits in the southeast and faces northwest. In the second year of tomorrow, Liu Shizhen, the minister of the Ministry of War, created the whole stone mountain and piled it up with stones.

The ancient stone mountain is called Mountain, but the shape of the mountain is not obvious, which is similar to a war bunker. It was built into a whole with sand and mud chaos, and it was actually very strong. It did not collapse after hundreds of years of wind and rain, but only a small part of the front collapsed. The building is on the second floor, with a total height of about seven meters. Below it is a cylindrical frustum with a bottom diameter of more than twenty meters. There is a labyrinth inside, which enters the abdomen from the entrance, and there are many small circular passages that can accommodate one person and extend spirally upward. The second floor is a platform, and the upstairs structure is changed to six columns. There is a big gap between the columns. Standing in the gap, you can see the movement around the outside. Around and at the top, there are many thorny vines, and the vines are always green. This ancient stone mountain, which is hundreds of years old, is the only ancient relic in Genfang, with profound historical and cultural connotations.

Unconsciously, the dark curtain was gradually pulled down, and we set foot on the road home.

I've been to Genfang countless times, and only this time has I got an all-round and multi-angle understanding of Genfang. This is the birthplace of dragon boat culture in Wan 'an, the birthplace of baijia wine brewing, the hometown of Liu Shizhen, the senior minister of punishments, the fertile ground of respecting literature and virtue, and Baijia Genfang, a quaint village with beautiful scenery and rich culture.

ancient camphor, Baijia wine, ancient stone mountain and dragon boat culture ... seem to be the business cards of Genfang. Walking into the ancient camphor tree, I felt the thick history of the roots; Walking into Gushi Mountain, I felt the vicissitudes of the past; Walking into Baijia wine, I felt the pride of Genfang; Walking into the new rural construction, I feel that its "face value" today is so dazzling.

Walking into Genfang is like tasting an altar of wine that has been stored for thousands of years. It smells delicious and has a long history.

When I walked into Genfang, I felt the profound cultural heritage of the countryside, saw the rapid development of the beautiful life in the countryside, and witnessed the beautiful changes on the road to prosperity in the countryside!

I wish Genfang will continue to develop new capacity, bright new look and new posture in the construction of new countryside!
