"This tree is spiritual, and none of the villagers dare to damage it, and when there is a drought, the villagers will spontaneously carry water to water it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I heard from the old people that during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese wanted to cut down the tree after hitting here, but after sawing it twice, there were blood stains on the saw, which frightened the Japanese to immediately throw down the saw and run away. In the 80s, a TV director heard about this tree and wanted to put it in his lens, and after taking the cameraman to see it, he felt that a small branch grew too low, which affected the shooting effect, so he found a villager and asked him to cut down the branch. The villager didn't dare, but when he heard that the director would give him money, and seeing that the branch was also very thin, he thought it would be fine, so he brought a firewood knife and cut down the small branch according to the director's request. A few days later, the villager felt pain in his arm, and he didn't pay attention to it at the time, but after a long time, the pain didn't get good, and he was scared. So he asked a grandmother to help him look at it, and when she saw it, she told him about cutting down the tree. The villager was even more frightened, so he begged Grandma Shen to help him crack the crack, and Grandma Shen asked him to bring a few offerings to the bottom of the tree to light incense and worship him, and then helped him to chant, and the villager's arm slowly healed. Since then, no one has dared to damage the tree again, and with the careful care of the villagers, the tree has grown more vigorously. Gu Qingshan spoke unhurriedly.

Although Lin Yuan didn't believe it, he still folded his hands and bowed to the tree reverently. Since this tree has become a sacred object in the eyes of the common people, then he must also follow the wishes of the local people and treat this tree with the etiquette of treating the sacred object.

Turn out of the ancient temple and return to the main street, and you will not go far to the "landmark building" of Dongshan Pass - Dongshan Pass.

The pass is built on the mouth of a gorge between the two mountains, and there are peaks on the left and right sides of the pass, so you can tell at a glance that it was once a fortress. The gate opening of the pass is arched, the door hole is not big from the modern point of view, the width is about two or three meters, the height is about three or four meters, the whole gate tower of the pass gives Lin Yuan the feeling that it is simple but not mighty.

Gu Qingshan explained to everyone in a timely manner, "This doorway doesn't look big, but in ancient times, when horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws were the main means of transportation, it was enough. According to the records of "Chaiyuan County Chronicle", there was a pavilion originally built on the top of the door hole, and I don't know what age it was destroyed. ”

Several people walked through the doorway and came to the outside of the gate. Outside the pass is a valley flanked on both sides by steep peaks, and a narrow path in the valley stretches into the distance.

Gu Qingshan continued, "In ancient times, this valley used to be the only way to and from Pingzhou and Chaizhou, and the merchants who came from Pingzhou generally did not get early after coming here, and most of them would rest overnight and leave the next day, which greatly promoted the development of the village. This road was an important passage connecting Pingzhou and Chaizhou until the liberation, and after the liberation, the government split mountains and built bridges, tunnels nearby, and built a new provincial highway connecting the two places, and the road was abandoned. ”

Walking along the ancient road in the valley, the rock walls on both sides are upright in many places, and the traces of water washing are obvious, and this valley is also obviously a channel for mountain torrents when it rains. There are caves in many places on the rock wall, the depth is not large, mostly three to five meters, it should be a karst cave, and a stone tablet was also found in one of the caves, and the words on it have been blurred and difficult to argue.

Seeing Lin Yuan trying to identify the words on the stele, Gu Qingshan explained: "According to the old people, this stele is a merit tablet erected when rebuilding the Guandi Temple, which mainly records the donation and the construction of the Guandi Temple, which was originally erected in the courtyard of the Guandi Temple, and I don't know when it was discarded outside the Guan, due to the long-term wind and rain, the words on it have been weathered and cannot be seen clearly, in order to protect it, the village moved it to this hole, at least the wind can't blow, the rain can't shine, and the sun can't shine." ”

The trail in the valley is about a kilometer long, and further on, it is an ordinary mountain trail.

After returning to the pass, Gu Qingshan led Lin Yuan to visit the site of the post station. There is one gate, three north houses, and two east and west houses, all of which are stone-walled tile houses, and the buildings are simple. Although it is relatively dilapidated, it is not damaged, which is thought to be the reason why the village is often maintained.

After turning around for more than an hour, Lin Yuan said excitedly: "Secretary Gu, I think you can develop tourism here, which is definitely a precious historical and cultural heritage." ”

Gu Qingshan smiled honestly: "There has always been this idea in the village, but it has not been implemented." It is not enough to rely on these to develop tourism, it is necessary to restore the appearance of ancient times, but these need money. In the past few years, Director Tao has also helped us appeal, and the city's cultural relics department also said that it should be properly protected and developed, but it does not rain when it thunders and rains, and it doesn't give money, and the village doesn't have this ability? ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "There is no money left above!" It's not realistic to point to the top and allocate money. ”

"Dongshanguan does not develop tourism, it is really a waste of this precious historical and cultural resource!" On the way back, Lin Yuan sighed to Tao Tao.

Tao Tao said with a smile: "You have also seen the scene, and the situation has been reported to you." That's the thing, that's the situation, anyway, you're also working in the town, you can help find a way next, my ability is like this, and the future of Dongshan Pass is pinned on you. ”

Lin Yuan also smiled: "You are specifically responsible for cultural work, this is your job, you have to have the courage to take responsibility, you can't push 625." ”

Tao Tao said: "It's not for nothing, but it can't be." I'm so capable, it's not that I don't dare to take responsibility, it's that I don't have enough ability. ”

Lin Yuan sighed, "This question really has to be considered in the long run. ”

Tao Tao said: "The reason why these historical and cultural resources in the village have not been completely destroyed is that the town and village levels have squeezed out part of the funds from the 'three mentions and five unifications' to protect them, and there is only input, no output." If the leadership does not pay attention to this work in the future, and this investment is canceled, then these cultural resources will disappear completely. ”

Tao Tao is right, the best way to protect this kind of historical and cultural heritage is actually to develop tourism, through the development of tourism to drive output, with output, you can put it into better implementation of protection, so as to form a virtuous circle.

However, the development of tourism is not so easy, the initial investment is large, the effect is slow, which is the pursuit of "short, flat and fast" modern investors, is obviously worse than chicken ribs of the project. There are no other tourist areas in the vicinity, so it is difficult to attract people to come to such small attractions, and it is undoubtedly very risky to really consider developing tourism from a commercial point of view.

Therefore, this kind of project can only rely on government input, and it is better to have tourism output, and it does not matter if there is no tourism output, it is regarded as investing in the protection of cultural relics. Moreover, it can also bring some social benefits.

However, having said that, how can the government have the money to invest in it? The wages of personnel of government agencies and institutions, the construction of various public infrastructure, the investment in various social undertakings such as education, and the investment in various livelihood guarantees, etc. How much does it cost? Nearly 30,000 people in the city, including teachers, eat financial meals, how much does it cost to pay their salaries alone? How can the government have the money to invest in these things that are important but in fact are not important?

Lin Yuan sighed again, "I can't do anything about it!"
