I don't want to write Taihang prose anyway.

It's also summer. From the last spring flower to the old, netizens in the south began to recite a word: heat. I know in my heart that the ferocious hot devil, bared his teeth, came to the south from the equator and burned the north and south into a purgatory. Southerners are naturally more bitter. They have to endure the "bitter summer" of months of external heat and internal dryness, sweating like rain, chest tightness and shortness of breath, eating difficulties, mosquito bites, sleepless nights and emotional irritability. I am on the Taihang Mountain in the north, and the climate in Xu Lai is cool. Compared with the south, it is cold and different, and I can't help but be glad that I was lucky to be born on this high Taihang Mountain.

In midsummer, I went to Zhengzhou, Henan. Walking in the street at night, I saw a middle-aged man shaking a paper fan with carved words and wanting to borrow it. The man showed one side of the fan and saw that the book said, "The fan is windy. Hold it in your hand. Someone came to borrow it and missed it!" " I am surprised: Ma Pingchuan is a vast Central Plains. Why are human feelings so stingy and indifferent? The man seemed to read my mind, turned his wrist and showed me the other side of the fan. The book says, "It's hot for several volts, so you can't borrow a fan. Although we are good friends, you are hot and I am hot! " It suddenly dawned on me that the original limerick written by Henan people on the fans side showed the attitude of not borrowing fans on the one hand, and explained why they didn't borrow fans on the other hand, which was well-intentioned. With seemingly relaxed and humorous language, it expresses the helplessness of the summer heat and the infinite desire for the cool breeze, so that it is so precious to see the cool breeze brought by the fan head that I would rather blame my good friend than borrow the fan. So he released his "meanness". Hungry people have been singing about their food. It is natural for people in hot and dry weather to cherish their wind.

This is Zhengzhou, Henan, or the land in the north. It is even more unbearable to beat a horse across the Yangtze River, which is as hot as fire and as stuffy as a cage. I have been doing business in the sea for four years, and I go to Jiangnan on business every year. Because I am afraid of the high temperature and heat in the south, I try to avoid summer when traveling. However, due to special circumstances, I had to go to Nanjing, one of the "four braziers", and Lishui near Nanjing twice before and after the dog days.

Jiangnan was salvaged from the water and overflowed from a green oil bottle. There was flowing or still water everywhere, stagnant or flying green everywhere. Bamboo forest tea garden covers Shan Ye, and lotus leaf field covers water. Even men and women speak with a kind of softness, which constitutes the appearance of Jiangnan's daughter's home. However, God did not arrange everything perfectly, and specially gave the south a steaming cage like a fire. On the way to Nanjing, despite eating Ren Dan and Huoxiang Zhengqi water prepared in advance, the weather was still so hot that every blood vessel seemed to explode and every sweat hole turned into a small fountain. Finally, I suffered from heatstroke in sweating, a splitting headache and an uncomfortable stomach. Until I arrived in Nanjing, I went to the hospital to get medicine and injected 654-2, which cured my illness in summer. When I went there for the second time, I stayed at Lishui Guest House. Lying in bed at night, although there is an electric fan blowing overhead, my body is still hot, such as lying in hot smoke, sweating with relish one after another being rubbed.

The author collected some meteorological data under the background of global warming "greenhouse effect". In 2004, Chengde, the place beyond the Great Wall where the Qing emperor and members of the royal family spent the summer, turned out to be "the temperature was as high as 34 degrees, and the heat wave in the summer resort was rolling". In the same year, Xinhua Daily Telegraph published the article "Interpretation of" Steamer "Weather by the Central Meteorological Observatory" on July 29, saying: "Since June 29, high temperature weather above 35 degrees Celsius has been raging in most parts of the south for more than a month"; Temperatures in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and most parts of South China controlled by subtropical high in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian and Chongqing. It has continuously refreshed the highest temperature in the same period for nearly 30 years and 60 years. ""The recent daily maximum temperature in most parts of Zhejiang is above 40 degrees Celsius, and the local maximum temperature is as high as 43 degrees Celsius "; In most areas north of Henan and the Yangtze River, "the highest daily temperature has been above 38 degrees Celsius since the summer"; In the southeast of Anhui, "the daily maximum temperature is 39 to 4 1 degree Celsius." Taihang Daily reprinted the caption of the fax photo of Xinhua News Agency on August 15 last year, saying: With global warming, the tail of Mount Everest glacier retreated from the previous altitude of more than 5,400 meters to an altitude of 6,500 meters, and all the retraction ranges were 1 100 meters!

What is the global climate? On August 29th last year, Guangming Daily published the following shocking information under the title "This summer, the world is too hot": "This summer is a bit unusually hot. Whether in Europe or North America, news of heat waves frequently comes "; "In Europe, which has been mild and rainy for many years, we have experienced unprecedented high temperature and drought this year. Years of turbulent rivers have dried up, wetlands have cracked, cities have been anxious under the scorching sun, fierce mountain fires have turned the Mediterranean forest in southern Europe into ashes, and once resorts have become ruins. In developed France, thousands of people died of heatstroke, as if they had been looted by a war, and even senior officials of the Ministry of Health were forced to resign ... "

"In South Asia and southern China, this year's high temperature duration is also rare in history. Swimming pools and beaches are full of people, and even bomb shelters that have not been used for many years have become a good place for people to enjoy the cool this year. " The report also said that the high temperature and summer heat have also brought many "by-products", in addition to forest fires, there are also plagues spread by mosquito bites, heatstroke of people and animals, high temperature hazards of crops, and large-scale power shortage. (Note: The above information is outdated, but it is enough to illustrate the basic facts and characteristics of the "greenhouse effect". )

According to my experience of going to Jiangnan several times, there are times when it is not hot, that is, catching up with the rainy season. The sky is like a widow whose dead son is completely hopeless, crying incessantly. The home is wet, the bed is wet, the clothes are wet, and the bones feel moldy and hairy. Suddenly, I understand why people in many places like to eat Chili so much in this hot south. The country is in a watery place, and the humidity will be heavy. If it's rainy again, it's strange not to eat spicy food to drive away the moisture in the body!

Also, I have heard that there are three kinds of mosquitoes in Jiangnan, but none of them are very big, and one is even very small. But regardless of the size, they are all black, with white stripes on their faces. When they fly in, they are silent, far from whistling and humming songs in the north, greeting people first. Suddenly my body hurts like a needle, and it's too late to fight. Soon, the bite was red and itchy. Scratch, scratch, scratch, scratch out blood, it is still difficult to stop itching. After returning to the north, the rear of the half moon turned from red to black and slowly disappeared. It is said that every bed in the hotel is equipped with a cylindrical mosquito net, but even if it is tightly packed, mosquitoes will still get in like witchcraft. So I fought to the death with the little ghost who had been bombarded all night, and I could hardly sleep all night.

In addition to the hot climate, heavy humidity and poisonous mosquitoes in the south, there is also a disadvantage in winter. Because there is no heating equipment, it is colder inside than outside in broad daylight, which is really terrible.

Whether it is hot or not really has a lot to do with people's mood and mood. Once I went to Xinxiang, Henan Province to do business, it was the first day of the fifth lunar month (May of that year). But in Xinxiang, Taihang Mountain is like a huge barrier across the northwest horizon, blocking the flow of air, and the sun shines directly on the heat source, making it a burning fire city. I feel suffocated and dizzy in the furnace-like heat. I had to order a cold beer glass at lunch to douse my heart. The surrounding environment, from dryness to dust, from heat to flies, gives people a dirty and filthy feeling and makes their mood extremely bad. It's very hot and I have no appetite. When the chopsticks were stirred, a fly came out, and I was shocked. Heat helps my heart, and my heart borrows heat. I flew into a rage and shouted at the restaurant owner. I almost want to punch each other, but I forget the old saying that I am three points shorter when I go out. Fortunately, the restaurant owner is a sly old fox, grinning, repeatedly admitting his mistakes and bringing a bowl of new rice, before he gave up bitterly. But the bowl of rice couldn't be swallowed after all, so I bought two cold drinks and had a lunch outside the restaurant. When I came back in the afternoon, the car climbed all the way to the Taihang Mountain, where the sky was high and the clouds were light, and reached Lingchuan. Suddenly, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the coolness that penetrates into the bone marrow comes to my face, making every nerve and every cell tense tightly. My mood suddenly calmed down, as if I had been comforted by my mother when I was a child. Xinxiang and Lingchuan are only a few hours away, but the climate difference is so great. People who are hot and impatient, calm and calm, and people who don't care about the ancient law all choose a cool place in the mountains to build temples, so that the world's famous mountains and monks occupy all.

Lingchuan county, where I live, is at the end of Taihang Mountain, with the highest altitude of 179 1 m, which is determined by the law of "it is too cold at the top", avoiding the arrogance of high temperature in midsummer, and never suffering from high temperature in midsummer. As early as the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Yuan Haowen, a great poet and great scholar who studied here, summed up: "Lingchuan is at the top of Taihang Mountain, covering the cool environment between heaven and earth." In his old age of 63, in his hometown of Xinzhou, he still remembers the coolness of Lingchuan, and said in a poem commemorating the Xixi Ancient Temple in Lingchuan:

The pine forest is rustling, reflecting the spirit, and the sand and gold flow without knowing the heat.

Taiping scattered people from the river table and was shocked as a fairy house.

Xixi is less than forty years old, and the shadow of Xiguang forest still wants to be.

Suddenly seeing that painting was a dream, and now the dust has settled.

In the poem, "Shi Shuo Liu Jin doesn't know the summer heat" and "Being surprised and cool as a fairy house" are two sentences that highly praise Lingchuan's coolness.

At the end of last year, due to the need of work, I asked the county meteorological bureau about the temperature in the whole summer. People from the Meteorological Bureau told me that it also experienced a meteorological change in which the temperature continued to rise. The annual temperature was the highest in history, but the annual average temperature was only 8.2 degrees. There are only 9 days when the standard temperature of 23 degrees is reached or exceeded in summer. The annual record of extreme daily maximum temperature is 30. 1 degree. This is the highest temperature recorded since the emergence of the "greenhouse effect", and the previous temperature has never exceeded 30 degrees.

Because the climate is cool, there is no need for air conditioning and electric fans at all. Even if air conditioning is installed, it is for heating in winter. On the contrary, during lunch break, you have to pull a quilt over your abdomen to avoid catching cold. In the morning and after the rain, the elderly must wear robes to keep cool. Many people can't feel the climate change here, but they come in thin shirts and shorts. It happened to be rainy, and they were shivering with cold and holding their arms. Because I work in the information office, I often accompany the superior news unit. On rainy days, I brought a suit jacket from home many times and asked them to put it on. In fact, there are also local people who don't watch the weather, and most of them are big girls and little wives who love to brag. They're just coquetting in strange clothes with low breasts and bare legs. The weather turned into a "frozen beauty" carelessly, with her elbows folded and her shoulders shrunk, and she got goose bumps all over, losing her gentlemanly demeanor. Although almost everyone buys refrigerators, they are rarely used, and most of them are for window dressing. As for mosquito nets, they didn't buy any and hung them, which only increased the obstacles in bunk bed. Although there are mosquitoes, but the number is small, the toxicity is small, and a bite is not too big. At most, it's better than lighting mosquito-repellent incense in the house at night, and everything is fine.

Lingchuan is also an ecological county with forests everywhere, and the official forest coverage rate is 5 1.6%. Especially in the main vein of Taihang Mountain in the east, there are piles of green flowers everywhere, and even the air and clouds are dyed green. The "Qizishan Summer Resort" scenic spot in the county, hidden in the forest, turned to a group of scholars for help during the construction process. I think several literary predecessors took their ideas from the perspective of history and culture, and planned to form several links, so they found another way to link climate and ecology: "There are thousands of valleys to relax the wind, and air conditioners are made in heaven to cool off the heat; Cui Qi in Maeyama, natural oxygen bar washing is suitable for prolonging life. " Due to the suitable situation, it was carved on the pillars of the gazebo in the pine forest halfway up the mountain, and 500 yuan's golden pen fee was collected. Among the literary awards I won, the word count theory is the highest. But accept it with a clear conscience, because there is no artificial falsehood. The whole Lingchuan is in a large air conditioner and oxygen bar all over the country. Living in it, people are refreshed, their pulse is smooth, their three souls return to their orifices, and their six spirits are stable. Therefore, people have the peace and determination of practitioners.

Lingchuan's climate makes many foreigners only regard their hometown as their hometown. On the street, I met a young man from Jiangsu who worked in Lingchuan. He said that he had just returned to his hometown and had planned to stay for a while, but he really couldn't stand the heat in the oven. After only staying at home for two days, he hurried back. I was deeply puzzled and asked him why he was born and raised in Sri Lanka and could not accept the soil and water in his hometown. One of them said with a wry smile that it was difficult to cross the sea before, but after a summer in Lingchuan, I couldn't stand going back to my hometown. My heart suddenly enlightened. It turns out that southerners are not born with heat-resistant genes, but have no choice but to "tie up and be beaten, and have no food to eat and starve." Surrounded by the summer heat in all directions, you can't avoid it if you want to, but you can only bite your teeth and carry it to death. The Jiangsu guy said that in our place, it is not only hot during the day, but also unbearable after sunset. If you want to enjoy the cool, you can only carry a bucket of cold water or take a shower in the bathroom, or throw yourself into the water in the river pond. Nowadays, most people are equipped with air conditioning, but no matter how rich and carefree people are, it is impossible to stay under air conditioning all day, let alone carry it with them.

I also learned that many young men from Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hunan and other land of plenty gave up their family ties and homesickness and became sons-in-law in Lingchuan because of the different climate. Many southerners who do business and work in Lingchuan will never go back to their hometown in summer unless there are special reasons. Some simply took their families and camped in Lingchuan, looking like they were old and did not return. Chatting with them, I came to the conclusion that people in my hometown in the south died of the same thing as Lingchuan-being killed by heat. Most of the dead were sick, but some energetic boys and girls fell headlong in the high temperature of about 40 degrees and disappeared from this world forever. If they were in Lingchuan, they would never die of heat. They also told me that in Lingchuan, you not only enjoy summer, but also enjoy winter, because there is coal in the room to make a fire for heating (now it is collective heating or electrical heating). Outdoor because of the low latitude, away from the northeast, Inner Mongolia and other places, breathing into frost, urine into ice. Now people say the most suitable place for human habitation, and you are the real place for human habitation.

Since Lingchuan is so good, it's great not to want to go after summer. You are too lazy to see the waves at the ends of the earth, the deserts in the western regions, and all kinds of beautiful scenery everywhere. I'd rather enclose myself in Taihang Mountain, stay in a corner, wander the streets of a small town or lodge in a house in Shan Ye every morning and evening, be clothed with the wind from all directions, bathe in the refreshing and refreshing marrow, and be a happy little fairy on earth. When the sun is high, you can sit in the office or at home, and you don't have to sweat and get tired, and you don't have to shake the fan frequently to drive the heat by the wind. When I am refreshed, I am calm and sober, and I am very happy to read and write.

I often think that Henan people "fans can't borrow". I don't have Du Fu's virtue of "living in a huge building", but I'm not a pure egoist, so I want to enjoy the coolness of Taihang Mountain with everyone in the world. I think this is also a social resource. Isn't it that a person is not as happy as he is? Why not share it with friends all over the world? What's more, the Taihang Mountain and Optimus Prime Land in Lingchuan are majestic and graceful, and absolutely beautiful. Lingchuan's ancient and modern cultural landscape is also magnificent. Lingchuan county, in particular, produced 7 top scholars and 93 scholars in ancient times, and was known as Yuan Haowen, a "gifted scholar in Yuan Dynasty" and a "literary master in Jin and Yuan Dynasties". I have been studying in Lingchuan for 6 years since 14 years old. Lingchuan has 0/7 Jin Yuan ancient buildings/KLOC-,which is more than the sum of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. It is called the ground museum of Jin Yuan ancient buildings. At the same time, there are 14 national cultural relics protection units in a small county. Such a cool place, such a humanistic place, is really an excellent place to relax and escape in summer. So I sincerely invite friends from all walks of life to my Taihang Mountain town for the summer vacation. As the host, I will do my best as a landlord. I just want to remind you that you must remember to put a long-sleeved shirt in your bag before you go to avoid catching a cold in the morning and rainy days.
