It's rare to skip work, and it's rare for them to go on a "date". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a marriage, and the two have really not had a few serious dates. Everyone is busy with their own things, and they meet at home and at work, so there is really no mood at all.

Anyway, there are cars to travel, so they simply go to the riverside to go around. Just like the Bund where Puhai people go most often on dates, the Huangpu River is also a river, and the Yangtze River is also a river.

The easternmost side of Xudian Township is Hanjiachong, the westernmost is the Yangtze River, the whole terrain is from low to high, and it is already a relatively large group of mountains when it reaches the river. Because less than 100 miles along the river is Yichang, and it has reached the boundary of the Three Gorges. The mountain is even more soaring into the sky, and those who have been to the Three Gorges know that the kind of shock that stands on the surface of the river and looks up, and the clouds are still floating in the middle of the mountainside.

The altitude of this place is not very high, but from the plains, the mountains are particularly steep. Hanjiachong is the boundary, and then all the south is the Yima Plain, the Jianghan Plain, located in the central and southern part of the "Province of a Thousand Lakes", named after the alluvium of the Yangtze River and the Han River. Jianghan Plain is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, crisscrossed by rivers and dotted with lakes, is an important part of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain, and the Dongting Lake Plain is called the Two Lakes Plain, with an average altitude of only about 27 meters, which is one of the lowest altitude plains in China.

The Jianghan Plain is rich in products and is suitable for growing rice, cotton and other crops. Since ancient times, there has been a proverb that "the lake is ripe, the world is full", among which the Jianghan Plain occupies a very important position, but all this has nothing to do with Xudian Township. Because they are already "mountain people". The land is not three feet flat, all of it is terraced fields and dry land, which cannot be compared with the "people in the lake". In the past, everyone thought that marrying in the mountains was a "low marriage", but marrying in the lake area was a good luck.

To be honest, apart from the annual flood season, the mountain people really have no advantages. But when it comes to the flood season, especially during the big flood, the plain is low, and the soup is soaked at every turn, otherwise how can it be called "Lake District"? At that time, everyone dragged their families with them, led sheep and cattle, and carried all their belongings to the mountains for refuge. Therefore, it is also necessary to marry a girl to the mountains, and there will be a place to run to it at a critical moment!

The further you go down the river, the higher the terrain, and when you reach the highest peak, you will reach the river embankment after a big turn and downhill. The mighty Yangtze River water suddenly opens up after passing through the Yichang section after passing through the suffocation and squeezing of the upstream canyon, the river surface is very wide, and the water flow is also very intense. It is only a few kilometers away from the third road and rail bridge on the Yangtze River - Zhicheng Yangtze River Bridge, oh yes, there still seem to be only three bridges on the river now, and all construction has stopped during the special period.

That's the biggest attraction in the area. How many people hike tens or more than a hundred kilometers and walk for days just to see this bridge. Including the Gezhouba Water Conservancy Project, which will be closed next year, is the pride of the locals. In this era, it is a feat that deserves to be written about.

Now there is no serious highway, Zhou Pin is finding a relatively flat place to park the car, and walking along the river with Yang Xiaobei. The autumn air is crisp, the riverside breeze is breezy, and there are no people, two people hold hands and enjoy this rare quiet time.

Yang Xiaobei and Zhou Pin are popularizing the geographical knowledge here. Since the banks of the river here are still mountains, there is no need to build the embankment. But further downstream, it immediately flows into the Jianghan Plain, and people have built high river embankments, and they also have to reinforce the bank slope by throwing stones, and all kinds of slope protection. Around this way, the annual flood season is also like a great enemy. There is no way, the river water in the flood season on the entire plain is higher than the land outside the embankment, so you can imagine how dangerous it is.

If it is a big flood, the embankment must be guarded day and night. At this time, even people from the mountainous areas such as Xudian had to go to support. The people living in this land have been nourished by the Yangtze River, but they don't know how much manpower, material resources and even lives have been spent in the struggle with the river every year. Forehead...... Let's not talk about the tofu dregs embankment in later generations, it's troublesome.

Due to the open surface of the river and the great erosion strength, a Jiangxinzhou was washed out of this section of the river, and the name was very simple, so it was called "Jiangxin". Yes, there is nothing wrong with it......

Zhou Pin was looking at Jiang Xin, and vaguely saw someone farming, several houses, and couldn't help but wonder, "There are still people living there?" ”

He couldn't help but wonder, the heart of the river is very small, and the locals know that even the surrounding tidal flats are about 40 acres. Equivalent to the area of 4 football fields. Among them, there are more than 10 acres of houses and roads that can be planted. But the serious 800 people are a village, belonging to Xudian Township, with more than a dozen villagers, who make a living from fishing and farming.

I don't know when there was such a group of people living in Jiangxin. It is open on all sides, and the only way to get in and out is by boat, and it is said that the road is left untouched - who has the time to row a boat for half a day to cross the river and ask for trouble? Outsiders are also not welcome on the island. They had a world of their own, and there were still a few families who held on to the island until later generations.

In the eyes of Yang Xiaobei and the locals, Jiangxin is a very magical place. It is so small and lonely in the middle of the river, but no matter if the Yangtze River floods once in tens or hundreds of years, it will not drown it in the slightest. During the dry season in winter, there are more exposed beaches on the side, and it is more convenient to cross the river. During the summer flood season, the people on the island are still calm, and they should do what they should do.

After the Three Gorges Dam was completed, the government did not give up and persuaded the people above to move out. The reason is that the upstream water level is too high at that time, and there is a danger that the water level will rise rapidly in case of a flood release. But the people who stick to it don't move, the children have bought houses and gone out, and there are only a few old people left who don't go anywhere. Facts have proved that they were right, and in the few large-scale floods in the Three Gorges, even if people were evacuated ashore, the center of the river still stood in the middle of the river without any damage.

That's bizarre. It's not that there are no scientists who come here to investigate, but after all, it is too small and of little value, and no one has delved into the truth that it is not flooded. It is nothing more than the relationship between topography. However, the water level difference between the flood season and the dry season of the Yangtze River is so large that it is really amazing that the center of the river can not be flooded.

The legend of the older generation is that the heart of the river is actually a big ship, which was left by the ancestors of those who lived on the river. Later, the soil gradually became available, and rice was cultivated. The ancients listened to this, but now when it comes to it, it is also a legendary story.

However, in the 20th century, there was a news story on this small island. It is said that scientists have discovered a new plant on the island, which has never been discovered before and is unique to the heart of the river. Because of its isolation, it has never been discovered, filling a gap in the country or something. But that's all, there is academic value, there is no economic value, and no one will pay attention except for the locals.

What's it like to live on an island? The river is not as vast as the sea, and standing on the shore, you can clearly see people working in the fields and people leading cattle to graze. It's already evening, and it's time to herd the cattle. The people there are the same as those on the shore, although they are self-contained and isolated from the world, but they are not secluded in the mountains, and the people on the shore face each other across the river, and the chickens and dogs smell each other.

In very literary terms, so close, yet so far away. The person who first went to Jiangxin was probably not a poor person who couldn't survive, he should be a cynical warrior!

and Zhou Pinzheng stayed by the river for a long time. Tell the tales of the legends, talk about each other's feelings, enjoy this rare date time, and feel even better if you have a cup of coffee in hand.
