Old photo album - Hukou Waterfall

Coming back from ancient times, the dragon vein gave birth to the descendants of Yan and Huang, and witnessed the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. Coming from the poetry of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, it gave birth to a broad and profound culture and created the immortal Chinese soul. Walking from Bayan Har Mountain, thousands of rivers converge, pass through thousands of mountains, twist and turn, and persevere, the turbid waves and waves in the sky, flowing thousands of miles, all the way to Hukou.

Hukou Waterfall is a national scenic spot, national AAAA level, and national geological park. It borders Hukou Town, Ji County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province to the east and Hukou Township, Yichuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province to the west. It is the only tourist attraction in the two provinces. Hukou Waterfall is the second largest waterfall in China and the largest yellow waterfall in the world. During the flood season, Hukou Falls is magnificent; a rainbow spans across the Qin and Jin Dynasties, which is very spectacular!

Chairman Mao said:

You can despise everything, but you cannot despise the Yellow River. To despise the Yellow River is to despise our nation.

Speaking of the Yellow River, one will think of the "Yellow River Cantata", "The wind is roaring, the horses are braying, the Yellow River is roaring, the Yellow River is roaring."

In September 1938, the poet Guang Weiran lingered in front of the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, arousing great excitement in his heart. His creative inspiration was like a waterfall, and the immortal poem "Ode to the Yellow River" was born. Subsequently, the people's musician Xian Xinghai composed the magnificent "Yellow River Cantata" for this poem. This chorus inspired countless Chinese people to rush to the anti-Japanese front line and use their young lives and youthful blood to compose one after another "Ode to the Yellow River" for the Chinese nation. It inspired people to strive for their own ideals for the future of the motherland. They go forward one after another, throwing their heads and blood.

The roaring Yellow River has been angry for thousands of years, roaring for thousands of years, roaring out of the Guanzhong Plain, the birthplace of Chinese civilization! Thirteen dynasties of monarchs once established their capitals here, with outstanding people and outstanding people. Seventy-five kings sleep here, still listening to the roar of the Yellow River! The angry Yellow River roared out the culture of Chinese people seeking their roots and visiting their ancestors; roared out the domineering power of Qin Shihuang and the formation of the world cultural heritage of Soldiers and Horses; roared out the poignant story of Yang Yuhuan in the Song of Everlasting Sorrow; roared out the cave dwellings in Yan'an, the base of the Communist Party of China , the glory of Pagoda Mountain! Roar out the famous Ansai waist drum; roar out the feats of Chinese heroes Ke Shouliang and Zhu Zhaohui flying over Hukou Falls in cars and motorcycles respectively! That is the spirit of the descendants of Yan and Huang who worked hard to make the country prosperous and conquered mountains and rivers!

The rapids are surging, the waves are rolling, the water is splashing, the smoke is misty, the waves are roaring, and the sound is shaking for miles. There are no words to describe the magnificence of Hukou Falls on the Yellow River.

If you want to experience the earth-shaking majesty of the Yellow River, swallowing up mountains and rivers, you want to feel the majestic spirit of "the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return". Then you must go to Hukou Waterfall to see the momentum of the Yellow River rushing down and the huge waves; listen to the deafening roar of the Yellow River mountains and tsunamis; and feel the indomitable and persevering pulse of the Yellow River. If you don't go to Hukou Waterfall, you won't be able to experience the unprecedented visual pleasure, auditory shock, and sensory excitement.

Only by standing at the mouth of the Hukou, facing the waterfall, witnessing the rolling of huge waves, and hearing the roaring sound of the waves, can we truly appreciate the majesty of the Yellow River rushing, roaring and roaring, and understand that "the wind is roaring" "The horses are braying and the Yellow River is roaring", so spectacular. When people call the Yellow River the "cradle" of the Chinese nation, they regard Hukou Falls as the "soul of the cradle" and a symbol of the indomitable, heroic and tenacious national spirit.

Li Bai's Yellow River water comes up from the sky, and this feeling can only be found here. Shouting, roaring, and expressing their emotions through famous poems, that moment is unforgettable.
