Chapter 403: Asked Qingcheng Mountain
I thought that the car would go around Chengdu so that I could taste the legendary food, but what I didn't expect was that the car drove around the ring highway in the direction of Dujiangyan. In less than an hour, the car was steadily parked outside the Dujiangyan Scenic Area.
Looking at my confused face, Mu Xiu said in a low voice: "I have already explored this Zhuge Liang's tomb, and if nothing goes wrong, it is in the area of Longpython Mountain in the Dujiangyan Scenic Area." After that, he picked up his bag and walked straight inside, but An Xiangfei didn't know when he had already prepared the ticket, and after stuffing it into my hand, he looked at me in a daze, and patted me lightly on the head, and I came back to my senses.
Dujiangyan is located in Guankou Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, is a large-scale water conservancy project built in ancient times and used in China, known as "the originator of the world's water conservancy culture", and is a famous tourist attraction in the country. It is generally believed that the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project was built by Li Bing, the Taishou of Shu County of Qin State, and his son around 256 B.C., and it is the world's oldest and only surviving grand water conservancy project characterized by water diversion without dams.
With the worship and reverence of the ancient civilization, with the admiration and remembrance of the sages, worship the water capital Jiangyan, and finally after visiting the magical Jiuzhai and Yaochi fairyland-like Yellow Dragon.
Through the quaint Qinyan building in front of the scenic spot, overlooking the Dujiangyan under the shade of greenery is like a giant ship that is about to set sail, come to the Erwang Temple, visit the great achievements of Li Bing and his son in controlling the water and the three-character scripture of water control left by him "deep Taotan, low weir", and the eight-character decision "meet the bend and cut the corner, and draw the heart when it is right". The miniature Dujiangyan landscape sand table gives people an intuitive understanding of the whole picture of this project.
The main project of the Dujiangyan canal is built at the mouth of the Minjiang River. Surrounded by mountains and rivers in the middle of the river, the momentum is magnificent, and the scenery is excellent. It is mainly composed of three main projects: fish mouth, flying sand weir and treasure bottle mouth. The three organically cooperate, restrain each other, coordinate operation, divert water to irrigate, divide floods and reduce disasters, and have the effect of "dividing four or six, leveling drought". "Yuzui" is used as a water divider, the water of the Minjiang River is divided into two, divided into the inner river and the outer river, the "Feishaweir" spillway discharges the excess flood and quicksand into the outer river, and the "Baohuakou" water diversion port is used as a self-regulating control gate, which is the main switch of the artesian irrigation canal system.
Walk out of the Erwang Temple, come to one of the five famous ancient bridges in our country, Anlan Rope Bridge, walk on the bridge staggeringly, at this time the surging river water under the feet reminds people of the trickle of the source of the Min River seen on the road to Jiuzhai. One can't help but sigh at the majesty and magic of nature.
Standing beside the guardrail and looking at the mouth of the treasure bottle, the rolling Minjiang River water mixed with the rumbling sound is rushing endlessly, but as soon as they reach the mouth of the treasure bottle, they seem to become obedient, and the water speed suddenly slows down to the Chengdu Plain. At the sand weir, stones of different shapes and a lot of sediment lie on the spillway, continuing the function of reducing the sediment around the mouth of the bottle and slowing down the water velocity for more than 2,000 years. Coming to the watershed that looks like a fish's mouth, more than a dozen egrets are playing in the water on the surging Minjiang River, and a few egrets are tired of resting or pacing on the pebbles, with a leisurely and leisurely attitude.
Coming to the weir road in Lidui Park, standing on both sides is the statue of the hero who has made contributions to the repair of Dujiangyan since ancient times. Carefully looking at these ancestors who have left thousands of generations of meritorious deeds for this vast fertile field, I can't help but be in awe.
As a water conservancy project built more than 2,000 years ago, Dujiangyan has no majestic dam, no beautiful landscape, her attraction is also its greatest point, that is, Dujiangyan has been built for more than 2,000 years, she does not destroy natural resources, make full use of natural resources to serve human beings as the premise. "Guided by the situation and taking advantage of the trend", the philosophical ideas and experience of water control embodied in the Dujiangyan water conservancy project are particularly worthy of today's people's thinking and reference.
Mr. Yu Qiuyu has an article "Dujiangyan" in his book "Cultural Journey", which begins with the words: "I think that the most exciting project in Chinese history is not the Great Wall, but Dujiangyan. "Time flies, time changes, we will find that in the long river of human history, how many projects can leave a reputation for the ages?
Dujiangyan is worshipped by people because of its water. As one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China, Qingcheng Mountain has a very rich and unique cultural connotation of Taoist thought, music, martial arts, diet and health preservation.
Originally, An Xiangfei and Mu Xiu were like going straight to Dragon Python Mountain, but my strong request was to go to Qingcheng Mountain to play around, anyway, sooner or later, Zhuge Liang's tomb would not run away.
Qingcheng Mountain, which is located only 15 kilometers southwest of Dujiangyan City, is backed by the Minjiang Snow Ridge and faces the West Sichuan Plain, which is a link in the Qionglai Mountain System. The peaks are surrounded, the shape is like the outline of the city, it is verdant all the year round, so it is called "Qingcheng Mountain". Since ancient times, people use the word "secluded" to summarize the characteristics of Qingcheng Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain is empty and green, and the peaks, valleys, and palaces are all hidden in the lush and verdant forests. The Taoist pavilion is made of natural materials, without fake carving, and integrates with the mountains, forests, rocks and springs, reflecting the Taoist style of advocating simplicity and nature.
Qingcheng Mountain is divided into front and back mountains. The front mountain is the main part of the Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area, about 15 square kilometers, the scenery is beautiful, there are many cultural relics and historic sites, the main attractions are Jianfu Palace, natural pictures, Tianshi Cave, Chaoyang Cave, Patriarch Palace, Shangqing Palace, etc.; The total area of the back mountain is 100 square kilometers, the water is beautiful, the forest is secluded, the mountain is majestic, it is unclimbable, it goes straight up, it is cold in winter, it is extremely cool in summer, it is a wonder.
Walk past the stone boardwalks and ancient bridges. The mossy rocks, the streams that flow through the valleys, and the waterfalls and waterholes that pop up along the way make the tiredness of the journey disappear and exalt them. The tranquil Cuiying Lake allows you to enjoy the fun of boat trips in the mountains. Named after Lu You's "Bright Village", the small thatched pavilion appears in front of you, which is a good place to climb the mountain and rest, and the occasional bird that skimmes the treetops makes a gentle cry, bringing a touch of vitality to this green and secluded valley. Looking at it, it is lush and green, how can the word "secluded" be described, and it is very appropriate to describe it as beautiful and delicious. There is also the ancient town of Tai'an, which has a long history, the stream flowing under the bluestone slab is so clear, and the blue tiles and white walls surrounded by mountains make people forget to return.
In front of an ancient temple in the Baiyun Ten Thousand Buddha Cave in the back mountain, a monk with a serene demeanor carefully told how to look at his past and present life, he said that as long as he is always grateful, with compassion as his heart, respect the old and love the young, cherish the present he has, and look down on all the trivial things of human feelings, he will naturally be refreshed, healthy and long-lived. Looking at the surrounding towering and undulating mountains, carefully figuring out the implications, this trip to Qingcheng Mountain has indeed been fruitful.
"Worship the water Dujiangyan and ask Qingcheng Mountain". This mountain and water are adjacent. This movement is quiet, adjacent. This one is clear and heavy, adjacent. In this country of abundance, such two beautiful scenery makes people yearn for amazement.
