Ride 3 12 National Highway 12, Luoshan.

Return to national highway 3 12 and go to luoshan. At K752, the road signs on the return journey read HuangGucheng, the former residence of Hu Yaobang, the former site of the May 7th Cadre School of the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, Yiyang Ancient Town, etc. I thought Hu Yaobang was from Hunan. How can his former residence be in Henan? On second thought, it's the former residence, not the former residence. It may have been sent here during the Cultural Revolution, just like Deng Xiaoping's former residence on the outskirts of Nanchang, Jiangxi, which should be the lightest punishment in the party at that time.

An hour and a half later, I rode to Zhugan River, a tributary of the south bank of Huaihe River. About ten kilometers north from here is the entrance to Huaikou. Not far downstream, there is a site of the old city of Xiguo, where the beautiful lady Xifu was probably abducted by the Chu people.

The source of bamboo poles is at the southern foot of Wuyue Mountain in the northeast of Xiaogan, Hubei. It is said that during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, it became an important commercial center at the junction of Henan and Hubei, where the trade materials of the two provinces were distributed, and its water transportation was very developed. At that time, all water vehicles were bamboo rafts. During the peak season, thousands of bamboo rafts traveled on the river, miles apart, standing on the shore, only to see bamboo poles standing in the river, hence the name Zhugan River.

Cross the Zhugan River, enter luoshan county, and go from Luoshan to Nanyang. Before, it belonged to Xie, after that, it belonged to Shen. It is more than 250 kilometers from Luoshan to Nanyang. Can Xie Guo and Shen Guo have such great power at that time? According to legend, Xie Guo was located in Qishan and Wugong areas of Weishui and Jiang Shui Valley in Shaanxi Province during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. There used to be a resting water here, named after the river. After the Duke of Zhou conquered Luoyi, he moved some countries near the capital, such as Luo, Yong, Mi, Wei and Xie, to the south. Xie was transferred to Nanyang, and the capital was Xie Yi. Xie Yi is in Dongxieying Village, Jinhua Township, Wancheng District, Nanyang City. There is a monument on the village, which should be Xie's ancestral home.

In the past, riding 3 18 to Luotian and riding 107 to Miluo seemed to have something to do with Luozhou, which moved south. Luoshan County may be the first stop of Luoguo in the Western Zhou Dynasty, not Xie Guo. Among these small countries that moved south, Xie Guo may be the highest-ranking feudal country, the tribal chief of these small countries, or it may be officially appointed by the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Initially, the fief of Guluo should be closer to Nanyang. After Zhou Liwang was driven out of the capital by China people, it lost control of the countries in Southeast Asia, and Xie and Luo also fell into chaos. After Zhou Xuanwang ascended the throne, Shero and other countries may still be dissatisfied. Zhou Xuanwang sent a famous soldier Hu Huling to destroy Xie Guo, and then moved his uncle Shen Bo to Xie, and Xie Guo's territory was occupied by Shen Guo. Xie Luo and other countries lost their original fiefs, and Roche moved eastward to Luoshan. At this time, Jiang Guo was still very prosperous. The Luo people stayed in Luoshan and named their new land after the country.

At noon, I arrived in Luoshan County, crossed the river from a bridge on the Huang Xiao River and entered the urban area. I feel that this county is relatively small and not very prosperous, which is almost worse than other counties I met along the way.

After lunch, I rode home along the north bank of Huang Xiao River and saw the K802 Monument 480 kilometers away from the starting point. 1 30 or so, arrive at Shihe Bridge and enter Pingqiao District of Xinyang City. Shihe River is also a tributary of the south bank of Huaihe River, which flows through Xinyang City and joins the Huaihe River five or six kilometers northwest of Luoshan County. There is Nanwan Lake in the upper reaches of Xinyang City, which is now a considerable reservoir. There is a tributary in the upper reaches of Shihe River, which originates from Jigongshan in the south of Xinyang City. It seems to be a local tourist attraction, and the national highway 107 passes through the foot of the mountain.

Xinyang city became the local center relatively late. Chengyang County belongs to runan county in Qin Dynasty, located in the site of Wangchucheng, Changtaiguan, Pingqiao District. Chengyang County ruled in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xizhou County ruled in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and it was abolished during the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty. There are many places called Chengyang and Chengyang in history, and the Chengyang in Runan is not very noticeable. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Yiyang Army was established here and later changed to Xinyang Army. This is the first time that the name Xinyang appeared. The Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties were Xinyang Prefecture and Xinyang County.

There is little water in the Shihe River outside the city. Like many rivers along the way, it is covered with sandbars and the riverbed is occupied. Later, when I arrived in the city, I met a stone river. Here, the river is open, the water is abundant, and the environment is well managed. It's usually like this. Arrived at the giant store around three o'clock, not far from the hotel where I stayed today. I bought a spare tire in the store, and finally I was relieved. Generally speaking, if I buy a spare tire on the road, I won't have a flat tire.

After crossing the Shihe Bridge, 107 National Road comes from the south. This section of the city is called Jigongshan Avenue, which is not far from Hanting Hotel and next to Xinyang TV Station, so it is called Media Store, so it is convenient to arrange me on the first floor.

I had dinner in a nearby restaurant. I ordered a fish from Nanwan Lake, weighing about 2 kg. It's delicious. I tried to eat half the fish in my stomach, but I really couldn't eat it. That's a real pity.
