Chapter 354: The Natural Scenery of Shiqian (2)

The group continued to walk forward under the guidance of the tour guide Huang Guirong. Huang Guirong www.biquge.info the tour guide of the pen %fun pavilion continued to explain:

"Okay, Mr. Wu and friends, now we have come to Tongtian Road and Tiger Cave here, you see this plank road, very steep, narrow, the local people call this place Tongtian Road, there was a building in this pavilion at that time, due to historical reasons, it was destroyed when the four old were removed. Legend has it that many of the immortals who have just cultivated into the gods are from here through the immortal building and then go up to the Jiuxiao Palace, so this is called the road to heaven, this matter was heard by a tiger in the deep mountains, it also wants to become a fairy, so it came here to cultivate, there is a hole here that can hide from the wind and rain, so the fierce tiger will meditate in the hole, at that time many people who live in Miao Village often have to go up the mountain to collect medicine and chop firewood, the tiger who loves to kill because he wants to become an immortal, did not hurt the people and animals in the past, so after seven seven or forty-nine days, moved the general who has become a god in the general rock, played the emperor of tomorrow, and finally the tiger also became the tiger god。 Okay! Everyone is tired of coming up here, right? Now take a nap, and by the way, let's get a touch of the fairy spirit here!"

The group stayed here with the tour guide Huang Guirong for a while before continuing to move forward.

"Friends, what we saw just now is the totem of our Miao family-the maple tree. There are many different theories about the distant ancestors of the Miao family, and our Miao family here says that in ancient times, after a maple tree was cut down, the roots of the maple tree became cuckoos and orioles, the treetops became swans, and the heart of the tree became a butterfly mother (Miao butterfly mother is ' Sister Bang Mei stay'), the moth opened the bark, the butterfly mother was born, the butterfly mother began to fall in love at the age of twelve, she fell in love with the blister in the whirlpool beach by the river, and there were fish and shrimp at that time were also offering affection to pursue the butterfly mother, but the butterfly mother was very loyal and unmoved. In the end, he fell in love with Shui Bubble for twelve nights and gave birth to twelve golden eggs, but the butterfly mother couldn't hatch the eggs herself, so she invited the swan to help her.

"After the swans hatched for twelve months, eleven of the eggs hatched into eleven animals: thunder males, water dragons, snakes, tigers, sheep, elephants, wild boars, dogs, rabbits, weasels, and bears. The remaining golden egg can't hatch out, at this time the swan thought it was too long to hatch, and planned to peck it, and when it was about to peck it, it suddenly made a voice from the golden egg: "Don't peck me, wait two more days and I'll come out", so after another two days, the last golden egg finally hatched, and it was the distant ancestor of our Miao family - Jiang Yang.

"In this way, from the maple tree, the butterfly mother, the distant ancestor Jiang Yang, naturally worshipped the maple tree as the totem of our Miao family.

Until now, the Miao family has the custom of planting maple trees, and there are many theories according to the location and reason for planting: first, if maple trees are planted in the village, it is intended to protect the peace of the village; second, maple trees are planted at the head of the bridge, which is intended to escort people to cross the bridge smoothly; third, maple trees are planted in Tianba, which is intended to bless the harvest of grains, and so on. When someone in the family has been ill for a long time, they go to the big maple tree to burn incense, prostrate to it, and hang red on it, asking it to be driven away. Huang Guirong explained.

When the group arrived at Gutunbao, the tour guide Huang Guirong pointed to Gutunbao and introduced:

In the first year, the Lan family fled from Fujian under the leadership of Lan Zhengde to the estuary of Qingyan Village, Zhongba Town, Shiqian County, Guizhou Province. The walls of Gutun Fort are six meters high and one meter wide. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the Tusi area implemented "changing the land and returning to the stream", and carried out the use of force to expand the territory in the Miao territory. Later, due to the large-scale plundering of land by the Manchu and Han landlords, the Miao people could not survive, so they had to 'bravely kill themselves' again, setting off a great rebellion of the Qianjia and Miao people, and the Qing court further strengthened the expropriation and suppression of the Miao Xinjiang area. So the estuary Miao was conquered.

"The Qing Dynasty set up a post road station at the mouth of the river, and stationed the army, built four forts, and built three pillboxes around the mouth of the Miao village as the center, and built three pillboxes around the west of Digen Mountain, the east of Masangping, and the south of the dry river dam. The side wall of Miao village is centered on the fort and there are two door cards on each side, and the door is all made of stones. There is also a guard post around the fort.

"In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the head of the Red Army led the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to reorganize its troops here, and organized the local people to renovate the city walls and pillboxes, smashing the enemy's encirclement and interception, so that the Red Army's main force of the Long March passed smoothly here.

"After liberation, all ethnic groups are equal, united, and prosperous together, and building a socialist New China has become the common aspiration of all ethnic groups. In the 70s of the 20th century, during the agricultural Dazhai movement, the local villagers demolished most of the border walls of the Miaojiang border at the mouth of the river to build grain fields, and only nearly 150 meters of the city wall have been preserved so far. For this reason, the estuary Miaojiang we see today has a history of nearly 600 years, and the bunkers we see have a history of more than 100 years. ”

Due to the slow pace of the tour, it was quickly around noon. The group had lunch at a farmhouse restaurant.

During lunch, the tour guide Huang Guirong asked for the opinions of Mr. Wu and other people, saying that he would go to the Kaixia River Scenic Area next.

Mr. Wu looked at everyone with an inquiring eye and asked, "Since we are here, how about we go drifting?"

Tian Limai didn't wait for others to answer, and said with a smile: "Tourism is an experience, why not go floating?"

Vice President Jiang persuaded: "Since you are here, I advise everyone to go rafting, rafting on the Kaixia River is still exciting enough!"

Tour guide Huang Guirong said: "If we want to participate in rafting, we have to hurry up, because the rafting on the Kaixia River is 12 kilometers long, and it takes a little time. ”

Hearing that they were going to drift twelve kilometers, Jiang Wenwen, Zhu Liwen and Jin Yu were worried about their physical exhaustion, so they all hesitated. Mr. Wu saw it and said: "Forget it, let's not hesitate, since we are here, we will drift!"

Hearing that she was going to participate in rafting, the tour guide Huang Guirong said: "Okay, let's all go rafting and experience the excitement and impact! Since it is impossible to explain to you during rafting, then I will just introduce the relevant situation of the Kaixia River!"

Tour guide Huang Guirong then introduced the relevant situation of the Kaixia River.

She said that the Kaixia River hot spring rafting is 12 kilometers long, the vegetation is intact, the canyon is deep, the beach is many rapids, and the waterfall curtain can be seen everywhere. Along both sides of the river, strange flowers and plants, ancient trees are dense, and Ana's colorfulness is a relatively well-preserved natural ecological bonsai garden. From top to bottom, sometimes it is a rapids and rapids, sometimes it is a quiet canyon, the river water is crystal clear, the fish fly to the shallow bottom, the butterflies play on the water, the mountain is reflected, after the whole rafting, you will definitely feel beautiful.

Along the Kaixia River, there is a well-preserved national second-class protected plant - Chinese Wenmu, some of these Wenmu, some of the trunks all stretch out to the river surface, and some simply grow on a big stone, in a thousand postures, everywhere is beautiful. Slowly drifting under the branches of the trees by boat, you can enjoy the beauty of the natural ecological bonsai garden, which is pleasing to the eye, and it is like being in a paradise.

The most beautiful place for rafting on the Kai Gap River is the scenery of Gaoqiao Waterfall.

Gaoqiao, is the highest ancient stone arch bridge in Guizhou Province, built in the Qing Dynasty Daoguang period, according to legend, there is a large family, no children, in order to accumulate public morality, for the benefit of the local people, take out all the family property, but also to all directions to hang public virtue (a fundraising method for charitable activities), after more than three years to build this stone bridge.

According to the old people, in the process of building the high bridge, they first cut down the towering trees on both sides of the river, let the trunks of the big trees cross the top of the river, and then stand on the horizontal trunks to carry out the construction, and the raw materials used for the construction were all stones and lime. The stones were chiseled into rectangular shapes by stonemasons and built by hand with lime.

On the south bank of the high bridge, there is a karst cave, and the groundwater gushes out from the dissolution and flows into the river from both sides of the bridge, one of which can be passed under the beautiful waterfall by rafting boat, and enjoy the waterfall at 360 degrees, and let the water of the waterfall rush down from the top of the head, and the other side is to form a beautiful stream.

After crossing the high bridge, you will enter a variety of dangerous shoals.

The first beach at the exit of the high bridge, the beach is fifteen meters long, the capsizing index is higher, the capsizing is often caused by the carelessness of tourists, especially for those tourists who can swim, they feel that there is nothing great in their hearts, and they do not drift according to the required matters, and as a result, they are not careful, and they capsize here. However, capsizing here can only be intimidated at best, and there will not be much of a problem.

After this beach, after a fifty-meter-long flat pond, immediately arrived at the Wangjiashi Dangerous Beach, the Wangjiashi Dangerous Beach is twenty meters long, the current is rapid, and it is easy to capsize, if the boat capsizes, it may be swept into the water for about five seconds, five seconds is not long, and there is no danger, but for drifting people, in the case of being swept into the water, the feeling is very long, and people who are less courageous tend to be scared white.

Wangjiashi Dangerous Beach and Gaoqiao Exit Dangerous Flat are all monitored by escorts.

After the Wangjiashi Dangerous Beach, after enjoying the beautiful scenery of the dripping pond, after the large and small exciting and fun beach, you will arrive at the dangerous beach of jumping fish pond, as the name suggests, the fish jumping fish pond is the most, and you can often see the fish jumping out of the water. Tourists must go down to the drifting boat and walk about 100 meters, to bypass the dangerous rapids of the jumping fish pond, because the current of this beach is very rapid, the drop is six meters, close to the vertical angle of 90 degrees, easy to accident, therefore, it is not allowed to take the drifting boat down. There are also escort guards here for focused monitoring.

Immediately after that, there is a place 300 meters long, which is the upper inlet of the cedar pond, which is the place where the boat often capsizes, the beach is 30 meters long, the drop is 8 meters, and there are four bends, the current is very turbulent, and special care must be taken to prevent the boat from capsizing.

If the boat capsizes, don't be afraid, stay calm, the escort will come to help you in a very short time, besides, it will only be washed into the fir pond by the water, protected by life jackets, and will not let people sink into the water. Therefore, during the rafting process, it is necessary to wear a life jacket at all times to ensure safety.

In the fir pond, slowly enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, the scenery here is very beautiful, the ecology is very primitive, it is best to adjust the nervous mood, and then, it is to the exit of the fir pond.

At the exit of Shanmutang, the beach is 20 meters long, the drop is 8 meters, the current is also very turbulent, but there is no danger as before, because there is only one bend in this beach, so it is rare to capsize, but it does not mean that the boat does not capsize, but it is also necessary to pay attention to it, it is best not to capsize. This beach is one of the best rated beaches by tourists, exciting and refreshing, but relatively safe.

After crossing the dangerous beach at the exit of Shanmutang, after passing through the two forks of the river, it is the dangerous beach of Eagle Pond. The Eagle Pond is 50 meters long, the drop is 9 meters, it is more exciting, there are a lot of fish here, groups of them, you can see them everywhere. After the Eagle Pond, there is not much danger, go down the river, and then go ashore, after going ashore, you can eat barbecue in Mudu water, enjoy the picturesque scenery while eating, and finally after reaching the end, go to the underground hot river to soak in the hot spring, and then the happy rafting trip is over.

After the tour guide Huang Guirong finished the introduction, Vice President Jiang said: "Then let's hurry up!"

The group came to the rafting starting point, went through the relevant ticketing procedures, put on the rescue suit, and prepared to board the rafting boat to drift. The drifting boat was a boat of two people, President Jiang accompanied Mr. Wu to take a drifting boat, and the tour guide Huang Guirong looked at the other people and said, "We'd better be men and women!" She said that she and Mr. Wang took a drifting boat.

"Tian Limai, let's sit on one, shall we?" Jiang Wenwen said.

Tian Limai promised: "Okay!"

In fact, Zhu Liwen and Jin Yu both wanted to take a drifting boat with Tian Limai, but Jiang Wenwen opened her mouth first, and there was no way.

Zhu Liwen and Zhang Qingwen rode in a drifting boat, while Jin Yu and Master Qiu rode in a drifting boat. Tian Limai walked over and said to Jin Yu: "Jin Yu, don't be nervous, nothing will happen!" After that, Tian Limai said to Master Qiu: "Master Qiu, take care of Jin Yu a little more!"

"Don't worry, Director Tian, every man is willing to do the thing of heroes saving beauty!" Qiu Shichuan said with a smile.

Tian Limai and Jiang Wenwen got on the drifting boat and drifted away. At first, the water flow was relatively gentle, Tian Limai looked at Jiang Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, don't be nervous, everything is with me!"

Jiang Wenwen said: "Mai, with you, I'm not nervous at all!"

"That's good, Wenwen, if you encounter a capsized, don't scratch and pull around, keep your body balanced, because there is a life-saving suit, and the natural society will surface for a while!" Tian Limai said.

"Mai, have you ever drifted this long distance before?" Jiang Wenwen asked.

"No, Wenwen, this is the longest I've ever drifted. The 'first drift in China's center of the earth' of our black hole is just over six kilometers, which is only half of what it is here!" Tian Limai said.
