Henan Tourism Guo Liang Village-Taoyuan on the Cliff

Ancient villages and towns have now become "hot" villages and towns, but the ancient villages and towns in the north are relatively barren in the south, so the degree of "hot" is also a little less. From Zhengzhou to the north, all the way through Xinxiang to huixian city, Guo Liang Village is here-at the junction of Henan and Shanxi, a corner of Taihang Mountain. The unique landform in this area is a combination of grandeur, preciseness, strangeness and danger. It was designated as "Henan Provincial Scenic Area" in 1990, and Guo Liang Village is the village standing on the cliffs in these mountains.

The off-road vehicle, which has been galloping from the plain, came here and suddenly hit the towering stone wall. The stone wall like an axe is located at the junction of the two provinces and has become their own courtyard wall. The cliff that goes straight up and down is easy to remind people of a picture: there are no anti-Japanese soldiers or soldiers and civilians in North China on the mountain wall of Taihang Mountain, just like the Great Wall of Steel. Yes, in addition to its long history, Guo Liang Village was also the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, where the famous general Xu Zeng fought, and the mountain area was also the activity base of the "plain guerrillas".

Guo Liangdong, a cliff promenade, must pass through the Taihang Grand Canyon to reach Guo Liang Village. The cliff rocks in the canyon are red. There used to be a cliff road, which was once the only ancient road leading to the Central Plains in the mountains, which troubled generations of villagers and hindered communication with the outside world. It is called a ladder. The "ladder" is composed of irregular stones or pits dug directly on the rock wall at a 90-degree angle. "If you want to go to Guo Liang Village, you must go through Guo Liang Cave, and if you want to know Guo Liang Village, you must take a ladder first"-it wrote a history of Guo Liang Village.

The ladder is 100 meters high and built on a cliff, with a width of 1.2 meters, and the narrowest part is only 0.4 meters with 720 steps. The ladder was built in the Song Dynasty and was continuously expanded and repaired in the late Qing Dynasty. If you notice, you can see a 40 cm square stone carving on the cliff of the ladder. Although the handwriting is a little blurred by the years, I can still distinguish the words "In March of the 30th year of Daoguang, Zhao Changli established Lingxi Village". Because of its twists and turns, the ladder walks near the abyss and will be buried at the bottom of the cliff if you are not careful. The ladder is named for its steepness. For many years, all the necessities and daily necessities Guo ate were carried from behind the ladder, and the calves and piglets he bought were carried from the foot of the mountain. After being raised, they made a detour of more than 30 miles and went down the mountain through the Shanxi border to sell. The ladder maintains the life of Guo Liang people and is called "the ladder of life" by Guo Liang people.

In order to make the villagers in Guo Liang no longer poor, and also to make the descendants behind them stop taking steep ladders, in the autumn of 197 1, at the suggestion of Shen Mingxin, secretary of the village party branch, villagers Shen Xinfu, Wang and Shen measured the height and distance with ropes, drew pictures with indigenous methods, and went to the county to ask experts for advice. During the Spring Festival the following year, the village 13 hole-digging commandos braved the wind and snow, tied hemp ropes around their waists, hung on the cliff, held iron drills and danced hammers, and chiseled rows of holes on Hongyan Cliff. As a result, Guo smashed the occlusion and poverty of ancestors with a thunderous gun, showing a promising tomorrow for future generations.

Due to the high altitude, less arable land and short frost-free period in Guo Liang Village, only one crop can be planted every year, and the annual grain harvest is only more than 80,000 kilograms, but this only 80,000 kilograms of grain is all the rations of hundreds of people in the village. In this situation, 13 commandos only have 0. 12 yuan's food expenses every day, and corn porridge, corn tortillas and steamed corn seedlings are their three meals a day. In this way, there is only a quota of two kilograms of corn per person per day. In order to open the passage to the outside world one day earlier, Guo sold all the livestock and timber forests, and even the whole village, men, women and children, used their spare time to go out to work and used all their income to buy detonators, explosives and other materials. After six winters and summers, a traffic corridor with a total length of1250m, a width of 6m and a height of 4m was dug on the cliff. * * * Steel 12 tons, 4,000 hammers with 8 kg, and 24,000 cubic meters of ballast removal. Guoliangdong, known as the cliff promenade, was finally officially opened to traffic in May 1977. To this end, Wang He and other villagers gave their lives. This cliff corridor is called "the ninth wonder of the world" by Japan's Yutian Film and Television Company.

Our predecessors planted trees, while our descendants enjoyed the cool. Today, we can drive all the way to the village Halfway up the mountain, the corridor stretches, the mountain road winds and the cliff is steep. In dark caves, such as the subway tunnel in Beijing, it used to be a skylight to remove stone fragments, but now it has become a ventilated and light-transmitting observation platform. The ferocious stone wall left the mark of people's labor in those days. The road shows strange light and shadow changes under the action of light, which is very religious mystery.

Opposite the cliff, it is also a cliff that goes straight up and down. The mountain seems to have been torn in half here. There are traces of streams flowing in the deep canyon in the middle, but they have already dried up. Opposite is the boundary of Shanxi. Someone is grazing sheep leisurely. They belong to another province separated by a mountain.

Stone village, Shanxi noodle village, is simple and ubiquitous: stone mill, stone mill, stone alley, stone table, stone bench, stone bed, stone steps, stone houses, stone dams, stone roads, stone bowls, stone chopsticks, stone bridges, stone axes and hoes … people are completely immersed in the wonderful embrace of stones. When asked why the villagers used this heavy stone to build everything, the villagers said with a smile: "Stone is everything to us, where there is the aura of our ancestors and the hope of future generations. Making stone tools only requires hard work, not money. Why not ... get used to it! " Many stone houses are two-story buildings with gray bricks along the roof. Although it is located in the border of Henan, it still has obvious Shanxi customs.

The same is true of diet. The villagers mainly eat pasta. We ate a delicious Shanxi pasta and started wandering around the village. A courtyard not far from the village entrance is conspicuous, with brick carvings on the gatehouse and exquisite iron gate rings on the door panels. The tree shape of spring is projected on the antique courtyard door, which also casts a hazy warmth on the red couplets preserved during the Spring Festival. A hole was specially cut under the door of the main room for cats to come in and out, which shows the owner's care and attention. Looking at it, the host replied, an old lady with simple clothes and kind eyes. She said that this courtyard is the oldest and best preserved in the village, with a history of 100 years. His wife and son died, and now she has turned this place into a family hotel, and life is not bad. The old lady's eyes are a little melancholy, and the lines around her eyes are half-open and half-closed like this ancient thread-bound book, but they are indescribable calm and warmth. This yard used to be a big family in the village. The old lady's life story is also full of unusual things. Just between this question and sigh, it seems that many years have passed silently.

On the mountain road near the village, a red note is occasionally pressed by a stone. It is said that this is specially reserved for the wedding procession in the village, in order to leave a good impression of "seeing happiness all the way". Imagine a girl from outside the mountain coming to this almost completely closed world. This mountain road may have witnessed everyone's life here.

In the mountain stream next to the village, there is a stream flowing down from the mountain. When it reaches a gentle place, it becomes a small pool. Because it is so clear, people's reflection is as clear as looking in a mirror. Because the surrounding mountains are narrow and narrow, huge shadows are shrouded in them, making the pool water glow with blue light, just like the clear sky in autumn. Only a wisp of blue sky can be seen in the canyon, but the blue sky given in the pool seems to be wider ... There is an abandoned small temple outside the village for the use of the travel-stained Guan Laoye, but someone outside draws brightly, which makes people laugh. I don't know how many years this small temple has spent here alone. I think there must have been times when fireworks flourished. The old waterwheel at the door has stopped for a long time, surrounded by weeds, waiting for someone to annotate its annual rings.

Seeds and Hope In Guo Liang Village, there are 83 households with 329 people, most of whom are Shen. It is said that this village originated from the end of the Western Han Dynasty from AD 9 to AD 23, when Wang Mang established a "new" dynasty, during which a large-scale peasant uprising broke out. Guo Liang, a peasant leader, established a peasant regime and wanted to fight the enemy with the aid of the Taihang Cliff Canyon. After losing, he was defeated by Shanxi. In order to commemorate this peasant hero, later generations called his battle base camp Guo Liang Village until now. Shen Shi's family was an official in Nanjing at the end of Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang cleaned Kyoto at the beginning of Ming Dynasty, and sent Shen Shi's family to Qinghai for hard labor, and fled through Shen Shi's family in Shanxi Province. Hundreds of people in the whole family smashed the cauldron, and each household got a piece of iron and went their separate ways. I hope to put the original cauldron back together next year and reunite the whole family, so it is called "cauldron application". A small number of Shenyang people entered Henan, hid in Taihang Mountain and lived in Guo Liang Village. This is the origin of two families in Guo Liang village. We can often see this phenomenon. Living on the top of a high mountain, there are no villages in front and no shops behind. Crop growth and water supply are very difficult, but villages have been formed here. It can be seen how strong people's consciousness and desire for life are, and life is developed and created under this strong perseverance. For many years, every summer, villagers were always attacked by flash floods and landslides, and their houses collapsed. But later, the villagers were infatuated with establishing a "new home" and stuck to it, absorbing the first training and breath of their ancestors.

Now there are very few young people in the village, and most of them go out to work to earn money, while the old people in the village still keep the old way and guard the old village. The old man is lonely, just like the tree on the top of the mountain, which does not enjoy the proper moisture and has experienced many vicissitudes, but its roots are deep.

Shen Wuhai, a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face and dark skin, has lived in Guo Liang Village for generations. At first, it was interesting to hear his name. "Five children" must be the fifth in the family. It was later confirmed that he did have four brothers, all of whom worked and settled in the county.

It was half past three in the afternoon when I met him. He just had a quick lunch. Lunch is simple. In a medium-sized enamel rice bowl, half is rice, half is vegetables mixed with tofu. While eating, he kept answering the phone. I can see that he is answering the questions of tourists coming to Guo Liang. Seeing him resting from work, I handed him a cigarette and chatted with him about things at home.

He told me that he and his wife have two children who go to school in the countryside, and there is an old father and a family of five. Because the cultivated land area in Guo Liang is very small, the barren land can't support Guoliang people at all. A few years ago, the strong laborers in the village relied on working in construction sites in other provinces to support their families. Only when agriculture is busy will someone come back to farm and harvest pitiful crops. Shen Wuzi can only pack his bags and walk out of the mountain. At that time, he only earned 8 yuan a day. Apart from the necessary expenses, he still can't come up with 1000 yuan after working for a year, which is the living expenses of his family for a whole year. Seven years ago, under the leadership of village cadres, he vacated two of the only three rooms in his family and set up a reception center for folk villages. The whole family, old and young, went into battle to wash vegetables, cook and clean up the room. Diligent housekeeping, life gradually improved.

In 2004, he borrowed 6.5438+0.4 million yuan, plus the savings of previous years, and built the current two-story building-Paradise Hotel. Now his hotel has 22 rooms and 60 beds, which can accommodate 70 tourists at the same time. At night, his boiler can also let tourists who live here take a hot bath. Because more and more tourists have been busy in the past two years, he hired five waiters besides his wife's help. Before May 1 this year, he also bought several TV sets, and planned to install a satellite TV receiving system after the holiday, so that guests in every room could watch TV programs.

During the short 30-minute chat, he kept answering the phone, bringing guests back and forth and showing them the room, bathroom and kitchen. Most of them are introduced by repeat customers, and they are very satisfied with the sanitation and environment here.

When I was leaving, I asked about his four brothers. He said that he envied their life in the county and lived in a paid building. But now with the improvement of his economic situation, he no longer yearns for his brothers' city life. He said confidently, "My life is better than theirs now." When he said this, he patted his chest hard and showed a simple smile on his face.

There are also newcomers who come here from other places to survive. For example, a couple in their fifties came here from the county seat to open a restaurant, cook during the day and sleep in the kitchen at night. Living conditions are extremely difficult, but they still find it easier to earn money here than in the county. However, their children don't follow them to play in the city, and they have to support their children with the money they earn. Children can't come to see them once a year.

There are more than ten houses built on the mountain in the village, some courtyards are already empty, some farm tools and living objects are scattered all over the floor, spinning wheels, old wooden boxes, iron harrows and hoes are all in the wind and rain, and rows of restaurants and hostels are being built outside the village to prepare for the arrival of the tourist season. More and more people in the village are engaged in tourism, and their eyes are turned to the city people who like to eat farmhouse meals and sleep on the kang. There are also more people who go out to work along the dug road and choose to leave ... what this road has brought to the villagers, even a question that can only be concluded after a hundred years.

A semi-new sowing basket was placed on a wasteland. After a long hesitation, I decided to take it home and hang it in the study. But where are my land and seeds?

Introduction of scenic spots:

◆ The only road from Shayao Township of Guoliangdong to Guo Liang Village hangs on a 90-degree cliff. The symbol of Guo Liang Village is amazing all over the world.

Guoliang village is located on the Taihang cliff, and the whole sand kiln and the winding cliff of Nanping township constitute the Taihang Canyon. When the weather is fine, you can see the shadow of Taihang Mountain in that area dozens of kilometers away. The valley of Taihang Mountain has been eroded by granite gneiss, sandstone shale and limestone for millions of years, forming a dry and changeable Lingjunxia Valley. The cliffs of red sandstone are more magnificent in the sunrise and sunset.

There are many caves in Guo Liang Village, and Bailong Cave, Black Dragon Cave, Red Dragon Cave and Huanglong Cave have been developed. These caves are concentrated in Houshan, Guo Liang, about half an hour's walk from the village. Some villagers sell tickets at the mouth of the cave, and they have to collect at least 8 yuan to open the door. The money includes the lighting of Black Dragon Cave and Red Dragon Cave and the expenses of the whole tour guide. The cost is really low. The cave is small and unique, and it is even more inaccessible. The cave is quiet and natural, full of wild interest, which can satisfy people's exploration of subtle psychology. Huanglong Cave even requires the curiosity hunter to wade through a meter of cold water before entering, which is very much a feeling of visiting the "bottom of chivalry" of the little dragon girl.

◆ A zigzag road cut by a ladder on the cliff. Above the ladder is Guo Liang Village, and below is Xitipo Village. From the ladder up the mountain, you can save tickets for 20 yuan's Guo Liang tour. As for the physical strength consumed by climbing the ladder and how to calculate the 20 yuan, it's up to you.

◆ Rock Climbing Yard There used to be a rock climbing yard in Guo Liang Village, but it was moved to Nanping Township because of the traffic jam. However, there are many places around the village where people who like rock climbing can have an addiction to rock climbing tourism.
