The essence of waterfall beauty

The essential feature of waterfall beauty is dynamic beauty full of changes. Its specific manifestations are as follows: First, the form is changeable. In addition to the general form of single-stage isolated flow, there are two special forms in waterfalls. One is a multi-stage waterfall, which falls in stages due to the change of topography. For example, the waterfall falls in a zigzag shape, and Huangguoshu Waterfall consists of nine waterfalls. The second is the distributary waterfall, which is split by rocks or plants in the middle, and a picture is divided into multiple strands. Such as Li Anquan Waterfall in Lushan Gorge and Nuorilang Waterfall in Jiuzhaigou. The shape of the same waterfall also changes with the seasons, the weather and the amount of water. The Dalong Waterfall in Yandang Mountain is a typical example. Sometimes it is like a suspended white training horse, sometimes it is like a floating white cotton ball, and sometimes it turns into light blue smoke like a white crepe, which is unpredictable. Second, the colors are diverse. The color of waterfall water comes from the reflection and refraction of rocks and light on the waterfall. The average waterfall is pure in color, as white as cucumber. However, in the scenic spots with rich rock colors, waterfall water will also present various gorgeous colors. For example, the bridge pier red waterfall, Chuanqiao red waterfall and red and white waterfall in Sanqingshan, Jiangxi Province. Because of the sunshine and water mist, beautiful rainbows sometimes appear on the waterfall, just like covering the waterfall with a layer of colored gauze.
