Appreciation of Water Mirror in American Literature: Three Notes

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't believe that there was such a steep and deep canyon on the Guanzhong Plain in 800 miles-Jinghe Grand Canyon.

At first sight, I was shocked. It was a day in early November, and more than ten of us went to Jingyang to visit Mr. Bai Shu. Mr. Wang is very enthusiastic. After a few pleasantries, he drove us as a tour guide to visit Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area.

Through the winding mountain road and nine deep and long tunnels, we came to an open and flat place-Peacock Bay. On one side of the high mountain and steep cliff, there is a Longxu Waterfall that flies straight down, and the water in the small pool under it flows to the two holes. At first glance, there is a swing tied to the tunnel entrance, and tourists are playing on the swing, talking and laughing. Mr. Wang is familiar with the road and enters the tunnel with an image. The sculpture is lifelike, vividly shaping the shepherd's Dongting dragon girl and scholar Liu Yi. This is a beautiful and touching fairy love story circulating in the water mirror. It was first seen in the legendary Liu Yichuan of the Tang Dynasty, with a beautiful sense of gratitude, and was interpreted by later generations in various artistic forms such as Yue Opera.

The tunnel is sixty or seventy meters long, and it reaches the end without taking a few steps. A cold wind blew in and we instinctively retreated. At the bottom of the tunnel is Jinghe Grand Canyon, and I can't help feeling a little dizzy. If it weren't for the cement guardrail protection, I really dare not look down. While explaining, Mr. Wang pointed to the Jinghe River for us to see. The bottom of the valley is unfathomable, the walls on both sides of the river stand thousands of miles, the rocks are rugged, the boulders in the river are dotted, and the water is like a jasper ribbon. Xunzi said, "So I don't climb mountains, and I don't know how high the sky is." Don't face the deep stream, I don't know the thickness of the ground. "This magical nature is a magnificent landscape formed by the orogeny hundreds of millions of years ago, and it is a paradise for wildlife. We all asked, "Is there such a steep and deep canyon in Guanzhong Plain? "The answer is yes.

Jinghe Grand Canyon is hidden in the depths of Zhongshan Mountain. Because of its peculiar canyon, majestic and steep, it is known as "the first grand canyon in Guanzhong". If you go down to the bottom of the valley and enjoy the canyon up close, you need to set aside a day. This is just a developed river, and most areas are inaccessible and overgrown with weeds. Mr. Bai Shu said that he and his friends had explored the bottom of the valley many times. They crossed the thorns with their hands and feet, which was completely pioneering.

In fact, Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area is located at the junction of Jingyang County and Liquan County, which can be reached by driving into Guanzhong Ring Road along Xixian Ring Road and expressway, Bai Yin. It is not far away, but bred in the inner room, and no one knows her. The main reason is that more than a decade ago, it was still inaccessible-there were no villages and no roads within a few tens of kilometers of Fiona Fang. Especially the exit of Jinghe Mountain is the last pass for Jinghe River to rush out of the mountain and flow into Guanzhong Plain. Locals call it Longkou, which is a "four noes" area-no people, no roads, no electricity and no communication signals. The magnificent original scenery in the canyon is only passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, and local people rarely witness it.

Today, this amazing self-heating nature can be presented to the world, thanks to a person-Zhao Liangmiao. Mr. Bai Shu said that this is a legendary Wenzhou water conservancy engineer and industrialist. In 2004, Zhao Liangmiao came to Jingyang for the first time and unexpectedly found that the Jinghe Grand Canyon was a good place to build a hydropower station. He set out, pulled up the troops, bought equipment, put the topographic map of Shaanxi Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, and the Investigation Report on Jinggu written by Li Yizhi 1924, followed the footsteps of Li Yizhi 80 years ago, and began the exploration of Jinghe Grand Canyon. There's no way in or out of the Grand Canyon. They waded through mountains and rivers and managed to find a way. He personally led the team, shouldered equipment and tents, drank mountain spring water when he was thirsty, ate dry food to soak instant noodles when he was hungry, and slept on the floor in the tent at night. In more than half a year, Zhao Liangmiao visited Diaoerzui, Huajiayao, Heigou, Yixiantian, Lujiading, Dacheya, Ertugou and other places described and recorded in Li Yizhi's book.

More than ten years later, Zhao Liangmiao raised more than one billion yuan of private funds, built a hydropower station in Meiyukou of Jinghe Grand Canyon, and created a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot-Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area.

Mr. Bai Shu cares about his hometown and Zhao Liangmiao cares about Jingyang. We have heard so much about each other. 2016165438+18 October, Zheng Guoqu successfully declared the world irrigation project heritage, which is a new world-class "golden business card" in Shaanxi. Zheng Guoqu is the earliest large-scale water conservancy project in Guanzhong, and it is also known as the three major water conservancy projects in Qin Dynasty along with Dujiangyan and Lingqu. When the news came, the whole country boiled. Mr. Li, who has just visited the Lingqu of Beihai, is even more excited. His thoughts flew back to his hometown, and he made up his mind to realize his long-cherished wish. In 20 17, Mr. Wang returned to his hometown in Jingyang twice, and lived for four months for the second time-from then on, he revisited Daqu and wrote a big book for his hometown.

From April 2065438 to April 2007, Mr. Bai Biao first met Zhao Liangmiao, the man of the hour in the eyes of his hometown, but he was surprised. He is not a tough hero, nor is he a boss in the south who gives orders, nor is he like the chairman who invested billions to build a scenic spot in Zheng Guoqu. He is just a worker on the construction site, and at most he is a contractor-his pants and shoes are covered with mud, his clothes are ordinary, his cheeks are thin and his skin is dark red. More than ten years of field work has almost worn away the imprint of southerners on him.

When visiting the scenic spot, Zhao Liangmiao pointed to 8 1 pools of different sizes in the river and said that they were strung into a string of pearls by the Jinghe River, which is also a metaphor of heaven-life is bound to have hardships, even if you go through 81 difficulties, don't stop struggling, but go forward bravely like this river and run to your goal.

At that time, Mr. Bai Shu was trying to write the world's first canal; Zhao Liangmiao is building a scenic spot in Zheng Guoqu around the clock. As a result, heroes cherish each other, and Zhaoliang Temple and his scenic spot in Zheng Guoqu entered Mr. Wang's book, entered the hearts of countless readers, and stayed in the long river of history.

Since the beginning of this year, literary friends have been planning to visit Mr. Sketch, but because Mr. Sketch is busy, they have never made it. I finally met my husband that day, and everyone cherished it. Everyone did their homework before the visit. I have read a lot of Mr. Wang's works, and I really want to hear his feelings about creating the world's first canal.

When we arrived, it was past 9 o'clock in the morning, and my husband was busy. Seeing our visit, he quickly put down what he was doing, such as our friendly and easy-going brother greeting us to sit down one by one. I heard that friends from Weinan and their students-Fufeng Zhang Haowen and other teachers will come later, so Mr. Sketch said the room was crowded. Everyone is here, so let's go to his studio in Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area-Jinggu to study. Friends in the literary world are eager to get Mr. Bai Sketch and Mr. Bai Sketch to sign with "the first canal in the world" and "unique". Mr. Wang motioned for everyone to visit the Jinghe Grand Canyon first, and then sign their names in his study.

After visiting the Grand Canyon, Mr. Wang explained all the way, and we had a general understanding of the location of Zhongshan and cragginess. When he arrived in Jinggu's study, Mr. Wang was in high spirits, sipping tea while serving tea.

The live edition of "Lecture Room" begins: Teacher Wang tells the story from Jinghe in a few treasures; From the situation in Qin Dynasty to many historical sites in Xixian New Area; From the origin of the earth, Chongwen Pagoda talked about the wisdom of ancestors; From the feeling of returning to China every time, talk about the great influence of culture; From the Construction of Zheng Guoqu Scenic Area to Zhao Liangmiao, Chairman of Zheng Guoqu ...

When it comes to Zhaoliang Temple, Mr. Wang can't help but talk about the difficulties in the development of scenic spots. When it comes to building a cliff plank road, Zhao Liangmiao and the workers simply carry steel bars and templates on their shoulders and go up the mountain. Cement sand is carried up the mountain with bags of donkeys, and donkeys are also a great contributor to the scenic spot.

Teacher Wang's admiration for Zhao Liangmiao is beyond words, which also aroused our curiosity-calling for this Zhao Dong. Sir, Tan Xing is very powerful, and we are fascinated by it. Mr. Wang seemed to see our thoughts and immediately called Chairman Zhao Liangmiao. The phone was connected soon. The answer is that there is no road in the mountain construction site, and it will take three or four hours to come back.

Put the phone down, Mr. Wang said that the signal in the mountains was poor, and I got through today, which was very lucky. When we tried the mobile phone, we found that the signal was very weak and we could hardly receive the information. Mr. Wang also said that Zhao Liangmiao is so willing to suffer. He stayed on the construction site for many years, going to places that have not yet been developed. He often goes away for days, eating and living in the wild, and the suffering of eating is unimaginable to ordinary people. Family members often can't contact him and are very worried about his safety. Southerners' hard-working spirit is far beyond our imagination, and their workers give thumbs up to the big boss in the south. At some point, Mr. Wang remembered that Zhao Liangmiao, the chairman of the board of directors, had heard that a distinguished guest was visiting and sent someone to deliver two jars of homemade jujube wine in advance.

Can Zizyphus jujuba make wine? Everyone is curious. Mr. Wang said that Zhao Liangmiao regards Jingyang as his second hometown and thinks about Jingyang people everywhere. He specially invited people to develop jujube wine, which is equivalent to pointing out a way for the surrounding people to get rid of poverty and become rich. Some time ago, someone came to pay the red dates, and there were a lot of people waiting in line to seal the brewed wine in the cave.

After twelve o'clock, Mr. Wang immediately asked everyone to move to a nearby flavor restaurant with jujube wine for home cooking. There are many people and small tables, and two square tables are put together, which is crowded and crowded. Small and exquisite two altars of jujube wine were held out. The black round porcelain altar is sealed with red paper, which is simple and festive. When the wine is poured into the cup, it is fragrant, fruity and sweet. It is delicious and fragrant. Jinhua aged Fuzhen tea is ripe, bright red and moist. Take a sip and feel refreshed.

Half yellow and half white cake is on the table. Mr. Wang enthusiastically introduced this hometown flavor and called on everyone to dip some juice while it was hot. I feel like a piece of fat, hesitating. Mr. Wang said Jingyang proverb: no cake, no banquet. Bae, the ancestor of ham sausage, has successfully applied for the World Heritage and can only be eaten in Jingyang. Speaking of taking the lead, everyone followed suit. The word "Baba" is difficult to write and its pronunciation is a bit awkward. When it softened in my mouth, I immediately understood that BaBa meant soft, waxy and delicious. After I got home, I checked the recipe. It turns out that egg white and egg yolk are steamed with steamed flowers and minced meat respectively, which is indeed the ancestor of enema food. Zanzan belongs to fine-grained rice, which used to be eaten on holidays. Nowadays, weddings, funerals and weddings must be served at every banquet. It is said that when Empress Dowager Cixi came to xi 'an, Zhou Ying presented this dish, and Mr. Yu Youren liked it very much.

That afternoon, the sun was bright and warm, shining on a large group of literary lovers from different regions. Enjoying delicious food, tasting wine and listening to Mr. Kan Kan's speech, everyone was fascinated.

"Miss Bai was giving us a class at Shaanxi Normal University. Her hair was in a mess, her pants were sewn like a thread, her shoes were polished and she was personable. As soon as she appeared in the lecture hall, we couldn't go on. When we started talking, our eloquence was particularly good, and our words were carefully chosen, which conquered us all. " Zhang Haowen, vice chairman of Hainan Writers Association and professor of Hainan Normal University, made everyone laugh.

"Students' grades are greater than teachers' grades. Shine on you is better than blue, and the teacher is very pleased! "

"A teacher for a day, a teacher for life. Teachers are always the direction that students catch up with, and teachers will always make people look up! "

Teachers and students have deep feelings! There is no end to learning!

The modesty and simplicity of the two gentlemen are admirable.

Unconsciously, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was too late to enjoy the "first sight" of the black ditch close at hand. After Mr. Wang signed for everyone, he suggested going to Wenjing Lake and Guanzhong Small Three Gorges.

Wenjing Lake is quiet, reflecting the charming curve of Zhongshan like a mirror.

Wenjing Lake is named after Jingyang County and wencheng county, Zhao Liangmiao's hometown. It is a symbol of the friendship between the two peoples and an artificial lake built by the dam of Wenjing Hydropower Station. It's hard to imagine that such a calm lake is a different scene during the flood season-the water of Jinghe River is like a runaway wild horse, rolling in and shaking the earth, as if to engulf the world.

This is the power of water, from hard to soft, from beautiful to fierce.

There is Zhongshan Academy on the hillside opposite Wenjing Lake. The couplet on the gate was written by Mr. Nai Baihua:

Shinkoji is light blue and pink all over the mountain. It's a godsend.

The ancient gorge is dark green, and poetry and painting are waiting for the heart.

Shanglian means that the Jinghe Grand Canyon was originally a no-man's land, and the road was newly built by the builders, so it was called "Shinkoji"; The Grand Canyon, one of the original eight scenic spots in Jingyang, has a phrase "Cymbidium". The valley is full of wild peach trees. In spring, peach trees are dying and colorful, which can be described as a "godsend opportunity". The second couplet means the Grand Canyon full of green, which is so green that it seems to drip down at any time. Looking up, it is full of poetry and painting, and this boundless beauty needs people to appreciate and experience it with their heart.

At present, although we can't see the magnificent scenery of full mountain peach blossom, the infinite reverie caused by the word full mountain peach blossom makes people look forward to visiting the Grand Canyon again next spring.

"Zhang's face is glowing with light smoke green, and the residual light of half a forest is glowing green. Of course, the beauty of Zhongshan is nostalgic, and the Three Gorges in the upper reaches of Wenjing Lake should not be missed. "Mr. Wang said and drove ahead to lead the way, and we left happily.

The parking lot is paved with gravel, which was built after leveling a hillside. The newly exposed mountain is bronzed and shiny from a distance, like a huge abstract painting.

The cruise ship is an antique convertible. We can take a light boat and go straight to the narrowest part of the canyon. At first, the water was open, the slopes on both sides of the river were gentle, and the breeze brushed the face, which was slightly cool. After all, 1 1 month has passed beginning of winter, not to mention the lush vegetation and cold temperature on the mountain. But Mr. Wang sat in the bow and still explained it to us with great interest. As the ship goes further and further, the mountain peaks turn around, the water surface suddenly narrows, the stone walls on both sides soar into the sky, and the cracks on them are neat as knives. Mr. Wang said that these cliffs were formed in the orogenic movement more than 400 million years ago and have undergone tremendous changes, which naturally created a magnificent realm. The fault on the rock wall is formed when the mountain is displaced. No obvious dislocations become cracks, and these crack surfaces are straight or curved, neat as knives, which is amazing. Mr. Wang explained that fold is a continuous bending deformation formed by the stress of rock strata during tectonic movement, and there are two types: syncline and anticline.

I admire Mr. Wang's profound knowledge and think of Chi Zijian's saying that the pain in the fairy tales of the Arctic village is not imposed on the characters, but naturally generated like wrinkles when the earth squeezes the mountains during the orogeny. The power of nature is unimaginable. The hard and huge rock in front of us is just a few pieces of dough left on the earth after being crumpled by the hand of God.

After the second canyon, the cliff is getting steeper and steeper, as if within reach, with many large and small stone nests and pits on it. Mr. Wang said that it was all "eaten" by running water, called "pot hole". If there is a small pit on the rock wall, the water will swirl here and form a vortex. The pebbles mixed in the whirlpool, like a scraper, keep spinning in the pit, and have formed countless "potholes" wonders after hundreds of millions of years. A drop of water wears away a stone, and the power of water is incredible. It is conceivable that when there is a flood in summer, the Jinghe River rushes down like an angry cheetah, which is powerful enough to shake and shake mountains. Washing out the "pot hole" is a piece of cake, and washing out countless strange stones in the Grand Canyon is even more magical and magnificent!

When we sighed, we had reached the narrowest part of taniguchi, and the ship turned around and came back. Looking up downstream, the scenery on both sides of the river is very different from that when it is upstream. When going upstream, the water surface tends to shrink like a trumpet, and we have always been curious about the scenery ahead; Down the river, the water is open, the horizon is enlarged, the experience of curiosity is satisfied, and the mentality is peaceful. Only by appreciating it from another angle can we truly feel the beauty of the changes in the gorge, which is worthy of the reputation of "Small Three Gorges in Guanzhong".

I remember the first time I saw Jinghe River near the Big Buddha Temple in Bin County. The river was wide, the water was gentle and calm. According to legend, the Big Buddha Temple was called by two sheep-herding dolls by the Jinghe River. Later, I heard that there is also a Taoist temple in Bin County. It is said that the Bodhisattva swam eastward along the river and enjoyed the scenery all the way. After the beautiful scenery village, the beautiful scenery disappeared. Bodhisattva was unhappy, so she began to pour backward at the foot of Jinghe River. When she reached Jingcun, she stopped. People quickly carried the Bodhisattva to the village and built a temple for worship. I think if Bodhisattva walks a few more steps to Jinghe Grand Canyon, she will be fascinated by the magnificent scenery here.

"The mountains are getting better every day, and the birds are back." It was past five o'clock on the return trip, and a layer of fog appeared on the water. The peaks on both sides of the river seem to be covered with a layer of gauze, which makes them more ethereal and beautiful.

"Look, what is the opposite mountain like?"

"Like lotus, like lotus petals, like blooming lotus."

"Look at what's on each lotus?"

"There are countless Buddha statues."

Mr. Wang asked and we answered. Smart questions and smarter answers.

When Mr. Wang was excited, he suddenly stood up and walked from the bow to the stern. Everyone stood up and followed Mr. Wang's finger. Yes, the opposite mountain really blooms like a lotus, and there seem to be countless Buddha statues in natural caves on the petals.

"Nature, nature, magical nature!"

Just as we cheered, the ship docked, the bow sank, and a clear water entered the cabin. We woke up like a dream, abandoned the ship and went ashore, reluctant to part.

Farewell to the clear water; Farewell, that side faces the cliff; Farewell, deep valley.

On my way back, I crossed several long tunnels. Mr. Bai Shu said that these tunnels add up to more than 2,000 meters long, which is very consistent with the construction time of Zheng Guoqu. This seems to be a tribute to Zheng Guo, an outstanding craftsman more than 2,000 years ago.

In just a few years, Jingyang has emerged as a comprehensive scenic spot with ancient water conservancy culture, Daqin culture and Jinghe culture as the main line, integrating history and humanities, tourism and leisure. Is it a coincidence?
