The first wind and smoke rise Chapter 93
Hello everyone, First of all......
Shennongjia is located in the western part of Hubei Province is the name of a mountain peak at the earliest, and then the name of a mountain system, and then became the abbreviation of Shennongjia Forest Area, now it is the only administrative area named after the forest area in China, Shennongjia Forest Area covers an area of 3250 square kilometers, the mountains in the area are undulating, the terrain is complex, it belongs to the Wushan Mountain Range of the remaining veins of Daba Mountain, the highest peak is 3105.4 meters above the sea is the first peak in Central China, and it is called the roof of Central China. Because it is located at the intersection of the north-south and east-west flora, coupled with the complex topography and special ecological environment, it is less affected by the Quaternary glaciation, so it has become a refuge for plants in the glacial period. Therefore, the flora is complex and ancient, rich and diverse, and there are more than 570 species of wild animals and plants in the reserve.
People who have been to Shennongjia will always say that Shennongjia is beautiful, Shennongjia is magical, every summer and autumn you can see the scenery of different seasons, the foot of the mountain in midsummer and spring, the foothills of the mountain in autumn and the top of the ice, red orange, yellow and green can't see enough, spring, summer, autumn and winter are the most difficult to distinguish. So is that really the case? Tourists and friends, now we have arrived at Shennongxiang Scenic Area; Please get off with me, let us feel the beauty and magic of Shennongjia together!
Our current location is Xiaolongtan, which is 2,300 meters above sea level, located at the foot of the Golden Monkey Ridge, quiet and cool, and the scenery is pleasant. There is also a wildlife rescue station. As we all know, the golden snub-nosed monkey is a unique and rare animal in China. According to their distribution area, they are called Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey, and Guizhou golden snub-nosed monkey. The golden snub-nosed monkey of Shennongjia belongs to the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey, which is the most widely distributed and thriving of the three species of golden snub-nosed monkey in China. It is sensitive and gentle. Compared with the gray-black golden snub-nosed monkey and the brown-black Yunnan golden snub-nosed monkey, the adult Sichuan snub-nosed monkey is dressed in soft and fine, shiny golden yellow hair, and is a veritable golden snub-nosed monkey, and the prototype of the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong is the Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey.
Tourists, we are now at the Golden Monkey Ridge, which is one of the main activity areas of the National Treasure Golden Snub-nosed Monkey. In fact, here we can find five characteristics of the primeval forest. Can you observe it? First, there should be lichens and mosses in the forest; the second is to have the phenomenon of vine strangulation; the third is to have naturally lodging rotten trees; Fourth, there should be epiphytic fungi on the trunk; Fifth, there should be associated orchids and ground cover plants. The average altitude of the Golden Monkey Ridge primeval forest tourist area is about 2,500 meters, and the highest point is one of the six pillar peaks of the "roof of Central China", with an altitude of 3,019 meters, and the main tree species in the scenic area is Bashan fir. Bashan fir is a representative tree species in the subalpine cold temperate bioclimatic zone of Shennongjia, which is not only an excellent wood but also an excellent landscape tree. It has strong resistance to negative, can regenerate under the canopy, and forms more multi-layered forests under good site conditions, and the stability of this stand is high, even if a small number of other tree species such as red birch, maple, Huashan pine, etc. are invaded, there will be no tree species succession. The Bashan fir forms a top community and a typical primeval forest in the subalpine zone of the region.
Going up the Golden Monkey Creek, you will come to the primeval forest, which is a colorful and layered world of plants. Look at the tall trees of the first level of tall fir trees, which turn green all year round. Fir - about 20 meters high, DBH - about meters, the thickest three people can hug together. On the main pole of the fir, there are no side branches and side leaves within ten meters, and many side branches are born more than ten meters above, and then stand up, and you will entangle me to the top, which is very intimate, so it has formed some "sister trees" and "two people's world" "family of three" and "four generations in the same house", of course, there are many single aristocrats. We look at the second level of trees in broad-leaved forests such as birch and oak. Most of these plants are entangled with vines, and some are tightly wrapped from roots to tips. During the blooming season, there are flowers on top of the trees and under the trees, and it is impossible to tell whether they are tree flowers or vine flowers. There is a third level, which is made up of a variety of shrubs. The lowest layer was the lichens, and they were laid out on the woodland like a green carpet, wet and shiny.
Walking in the forest, full of birds, or round, or bright, or loud, or low, like crystal dew drops sliding from the trees, and like smooth beads rolling in the jade plate, Wang Wei said, "The empty mountain does not see people, but hears the sound of people," but when it arrives, it becomes "the empty mountain does not see people, but hears the sound of birds, returns to the deep forest, and shines on the moss." Everyone knows that forests are a treasure trove of green. The value of a tree growing normally for 50 years is $196,000, and the amount of water protected by 50,000 acres of forest is equivalent to a reservoir with a reservoir of 1 million cubic meters of water. For thousands of years, this primeval forest has conserved water, maintained water and soil, and regulated air, which has played a significant role in maintaining the ecological balance of northwest Hubei and even the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Tourists and friends, please follow me to visit the scenic pass and slab rock! Please look at that peak is Shennongding, Shennongding is named after Shennong's taste of herbs here, and also because in 1942, Jia Wenzhi, the magistrate of Fang County, wrote a poem "Ascending Fangzhi is small in the mountains, this is the first peak in Central China" and got the reputation of the first peak in Central China. He is clouded almost all year round, making it difficult to see his true face. Now we will go to the scenic pass, the scenic pass is also known as Badongya, the highest altitude is 2950 meters, there is the reputation of the first top of Shennong. You can see the peaks and valleys in the scenic area, strange stones, winding peaks, you see some of the intertwined roots here, some of the slim and elegant, some of the cliffs cover the sky, or if the graceful girl, or if the old man of the dragon clock, the light is bizarre, indescribable. So do you know how this spectacle came to be? After the Yanshan movement, with the continuous uplift of the Shenyijia area, the weak part of the southern fault continues to undergo deep cutting, resulting in the southern slope of Ya to cut down into a large canyon with a depth of 1,000 meters, and the carbonate rocks of the subgroup under the Shenyijia group distributed on the southern slope have formed today's stone forest clusters, such as the wonder of bamboo shoots, around the stone forest, the bamboo sea is verdant, the rhododendron shakes red, and the clouds and fog are entangled, so it has the reputation of stone forest cloud and rain. The peculiar landscape is called the first view of Shennong, and people often say that the scenery is not good, and it is in vain to the hanger of God. Looks like we're in the right place.
Okay, now let's take a walk through the stone forests and trees of Banbi Rock, and if you're lucky, you might even see a wild man. The arrows and bamboos up and down the slate wall rock are all over the mountains, dense and impermeable, this area is the place where the wild people often haunt, the traces of the wild people have been found many times in the arrow bamboo forest, hair, footprints and the nest made of the wild man with the arrow bamboo. The hair of savages is superior to that of higher primates, both in terms of surface and cellular structure. The footprints of the savages are about 25 centimeters long and the stride length is about 2.7 meters, so it is conceivable that the size of the savages is very tall. The most amazing thing is the wild man's nest, the nest is made of 20 arrows and bamboos, people lie on it, the view is wide, comfortable as a chair, it has been verified, this is not made by hunters, let alone apes, bears, its manufacture and use is of course the kind of strange animals between humans and higher primates.
Good times are always short-lived, thank you very much for your support of my work, and please criticize and correct the bad things. As the saying goes, "read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles", and I hope that this trip to the hanger can give everyone a new understanding of life. It is often said that we can't lose our jobs for the sake of life, but we can't lose our lives because of our work, so don't forget to take some time to relax while you're busy, and remember that you come or not, God's hanger is here, and you won't give up. Thank you! One
Hello everyone, I am very happy to meet you in the beautiful "river city" Wuhan! First of all, on behalf of all the staff of Hubei Education International Travel Service, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of you, and thank you for your support and trust in our travel agency. I am your tour guide for this trip to East Lake, my name is Yang Yanping, and sitting in the driving seat to my right is our driver, Master Zhang. Master Zhang has a lot of driving experience, so please rest assured. I feel very honored to be the tour guide of this group today, and I will do my best to provide you with high-quality services.
In Hangzhou, there is the famous West Lake, and in Wuhan, there is the beautiful East Lake. Although the East Lake is not as famous as the West Lake, it is also one of the first key scenic spots named in the country, its lake surface is about 33 square kilometers, which is six times the size of the West Lake in Hangzhou, and the shore of the lake is meandering, so it is also known as the 99 Bay. According to its natural environment, the East Lake can be divided into six scenic spots: Tingtao, Luoyan, Baima, Moshan, Piper, and Luohong, but now the main ones open to the outside world are Moshan and Luoyan and the three major scenic spots that we want to visit today. After inspecting the East Lake, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De once said: "The East Lake is better for the time being, and it will be stronger than the West Lake in the future!" So is this the case at all? In the course of this tour, I suggest that you might as well have a good time with the judges, open your eyes and take a look, and concentrate on comparing them to see what the characteristics of these two sister lakes created by nature are, and which one is stronger. Okay, let's come to the gate of Tingtao Scenic Area, see everyone can't wait, right? Now let's get off the bus together and head to the scenic Tingtao Scenic Area!
After entering the gate of East Lake, we also entered the Tingtao Scenic Area, and now we are in this place called Huangli Bay, which is derived from Du Fu's "Quatrain" in "Two Yellow Orioles Singing Green Willows, a Line of Egrets on the Blue Sky". Here along the lake weeping willows on the shore, the lakeshore green trees into shade, is also in line with Du Fu's poetry. Have you noticed the trees over here? This is the ancient plant Metasequoia of the Quaternary glacial period, known as living fossils, which was widely distributed in various parts of the Northern Hemisphere three million years ago. Metasequoia was once considered extinct by botanists around the world, but in 1945, Chinese foresters discovered the metasequoia forest area in Lichuan City, Hubei Province, which became a sensational world news. In order to commemorate the first discovery of this ancient tree species in Hubei, the city of Wuhan decided to position Metasequoia as the city tree, symbolizing the people of Wuhan with its fortitude, strength and uprightness. As you can see now, the leaves of Metasequoia turn red in late autumn every year, and they shine a golden red in the sun.
Continue to the east, we will arrive at Tingtao Xuan, Tingtao Xuan is surrounded by green bamboo and pine trees, do you see the stone slope protection in front? There is the word "Songpa" on the slope protection, you can guess who wrote it? In fact, this person still has a certain relationship with Hangzhou West Lake! That's right, that's Su Dongpo! Therefore, you can take photos next to the stone carvings, so that you can take home the authentic works of Dongpo monks for free!
Walking across the Hefeng Bridge, we now see this three-story pavilion with green tiles and columns, which is the center of the Tingtao Tourist Area---- Xingyin Pavilion. It is built to commemorate the famous patriotic poet Qu Yuan during the Warring States Period, when it comes to Qu Yuan, I think everyone will be very familiar with him, he is one of the world's four major cultural celebrities, everyone is well-known, the Dragon Boat Festival with very strong national characteristics is also to commemorate him. During the Warring States Period, he was the greatest trust of King Chu Huai at the beginning, so he often put forward some governing policies to King Chu Huai, implementing the policy of "promoting the virtuous and empowering the talents" internally, and implementing the strategy of "uniting to resist Qin" externally. But aren't all loyal ministers framed by treacherous villains? Later, Qu Yuan was ostracized by the villain and exiled to Jiangbei. After King Chu Xiang succeeded to the throne, he was exiled farther to Jiangnan. Later, the Qin State broke through the capital of the Chu State, and Qu Yuan, who had lived in exile in the south of the Yangtze River for twenty years, witnessed the destruction of the country, and was so grieved that he committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River. In order to commemorate this great poet, the people of Wuhan specially built this pavilion for him. The pavilion in front of us is the same as the Yellow Crane Tower we visited yesterday, it is a reinforced concrete imitation wood structure, if you look down from the sky, you will find that its plane is actually a square, very distinctive. There are portraits of Qu Yuan and a brief introduction to his life in the Xingyin Pavilion, and some of his writings are also displayed, which friends want to study Qu Yuan in depth, if you want to study Qu Yuan in depth, these precious materials in it should not be missed, I believe it will be of great help to your research. If you want to take a commemorative photo, don't miss the statue in front of you, it is a symbol of Xingyin Pavilion, up to 6.8 meters, the statue shows Qu Yuan looking at the sky, about to walk, chanting "Tianwen" demeanor, revealing the poet's sad and depressed mood after being exiled, and the name "Xingyin Pavilion" is from the "Chu Ci Fisherman" in "Qu Yuan is released, swimming in the river pool, Xingyin Ze. ”
After we visited the Gyoginze bank centered on the Gyoginkaku, we walked along the way, and there was one of the 24 views of East Lake, "Water and Sky". Here is mainly the scenic spot centered on the long sky tower, the first thing we see is Bitan Guanyu, this is a group of buildings with national characteristics, and the small bridge here is known as nine bends and eighteen bends. East Lake is famous for its abundance of freshwater fish, and when it comes to fish, Wuchang fish is the most valuable. Don't look at this as just a small fish, in fact, there are really a lot of allusions to it: during the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Hao, the king of Wu, wanted to move the capital from Jianye to Wuchang, which is now Ezhou, but a person named Lu Kai disagreed, so he wrote to dissuade him with "I would rather drink Jianye water than eat Wuchang fish". Later, a person named Ma Zuchang in the Yuan Dynasty also had the verse "Don't forget the Wuchang fish when you travel south". After the liberation, because Chairman Mao often came to Wuhan to inspect, most of them lived in the East Lake Scenic Area, he had eaten Wuchang fish in the Tingtao restaurant at that time, and appreciated it, in 1956, his "Water Tune Song Head. "Swimming" also left the famous sentence "only drink Changsha water, and eat Wuchang fish". It can be seen that the reputation of Wuchang fish has spread a long time ago. Then we will also taste this legendary Wuchang fish at noon today and experience its deliciousness together. But I, I would like to remind you that when eating fish, you may wish to count how many spines a fish has, because I heard that authentic Wuchang fish has 13 spines, so you might as well come to be an appraiser to see if we are eating authentic Wuchang fish.
Please follow me forward, the palace-like building in front of which retains the characteristics of the Chinese nation is called "Changtianlou", where the older generation of revolutionaries such as Zhou Enlai and Zhou Enlai have rested many times and received international friends. So, this place is full of footprints of great people, and everyone must take a good dip in the aura. Standing on the Changtian Tower, there will be an artistic conception of "Luoxia and Lonely Birds take off, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky"! In fact, the name of Changtianlou comes from this poem by Wang Bo.
On the right side of Changtianlou is Lu Xun Square, where there is a bust of Lu Xun, which looks particularly solemn under the cover of the pine and cypress, which makes people spontaneously have a kind of respect. When you are free to move around for a while, you can go there to have a look, take a walk, and feel the righteous spirit of Master Lu Xun!
Ladies and gentlemen! About the Tingtao Scenic Area of East Lake, I will introduce you here, I believe that in your hearts, you have a certain impression of East Lake, right? So is East Lake or West Lake better? I believe that there is an answer in your hearts, in short, I only hope that you will have a comfortable and enjoyable time in East Lake! Of course, if you don't have the answer yet, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen enough, I now leave you half an hour of free time, so that you can feel the beauty of our Wuhan East Lake again, half an hour later we will gather in Lu Xun Square, and then go to the next scenic spot Moshan, where you can feel the unique charm of Chu culture! Thank you! also
