Through the ages, the use of the masses and heroes, the topography and rivers of the Chinese water system map exist. Covering the crowd, the west is high and the east is low, and the heroes are the rivers. The prosperity of the husband's history, the surging rivers and the leakage of thousands of miles, the merits of the terrain and the traces of the rivers. However, the ability of the terrain and the manifestation of the rivers are often not generalized.

The vast land of China, the high mountains run through, the sea crosses, the three mountains and five mountains are stacked on top of each other, the ponds and lakes are dotted, and the rivers, rivers, Huai and Ji are long. In particular, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, surging for thousands of miles, galloping endlessly, since ancient times, have attracted countless literati and rioters to chant endlessly.

The Yellow River from the east of Tongguan, every summer and autumn and there are many rains with Fenshui, Luoshui, Weishui poured down, and the soil is soft, so carry mud and sand through Mengjin to enter the plain. The head of the water here is sometimes southeast, sometimes northeast, long-term north-south swing, arbitrary popularity, two or three years a break, a hundred years a diversion, so to more siltation, more decision, more migration and the world. About in the Jin period after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Yellow River broke in Huaxian again, the flood spread for hundreds of miles, and finally gathered to the low-lying place of Liangshan, surrounded by a big lake, to the Song Zhenzong Tianxi three years, the more water accumulated, and finally became 800 miles of Liangshan Bo.

Song Shenzong Xining ten years, the Yellow River broke in Lanzhou again, the surging yellow water abandoned the north-flowing river, rushed into Liangshanbo, and divided into two branches from Liangshanbo, one to the south, from Surabaya into Huaihai; A rush into the Jishui River of the Qing River, east into the sea, Jishui by the Yellow River to occupy the river, Liangshanbo since then north of the Yellow River (and then the Yellow River was diverted to the south to seize the Huai River into the sea, and then back to the north to seize the water into the sea, are all later, not mentioned).

Liangshanbo has passed the essence of the sun and moon aura several times, and after ten hundred years, the reeds are close to the waves, and the lotus sends far incense; The willows touch the shore, the water birds are all in the sky, all of them are created by heaven and earth, free and magical! Subsequently, Han Qi once served as the governor of Yunzhou, Linliang Mountain, and couldn't help but praise and say, "The smoke is vast, and the emerald color is floating; Nixia habitat, the land of fish and birds".

Liangshan Bo of the west Yuncheng County, in the spring and autumn period of Lu to strengthen the defense, Lu Chenggong four years of winter to build the city name Yun, Yuncheng is named after. Because it is located in the plain of the Central Plains, since ancient times to the Zhao and Song dynasties, the changes of dynasties are often the first to bear the brunt, and the soldiers are in trouble, and there are more "ringing horses" in all dynasties. It also has a large number of local soldiers and celebrities, Sun Bin went out to the west, and Wang Yanzhang went out to Shouzhang in the north, all of which are close to the left, and it has attracted the local folk martial arts practice to flourish, and it has been prosperous for thousands of years. There is a martial arts hall in the township, there is a inheritance in the village, everyone practices martial arts, and the folk are known as "drinking Yuncheng water, they will stretch their arms and kick their legs". Because Juanyun is the birthplace of Sun Bin, there has always been Sun Bin boxing in the local area; Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Dahong boxing, Panlong stick crown in the world, and since the founding of the dynasty, Dahong boxing, Xiaohong boxing, Shaolin boxing, Panlong stick and other practitioners are still crowded.

It is said that there is a Songjia Village of 100 households in the north of Yuncheng County, and the owner of the village is called Song Taigong, and has four sons, the eldest Song Shui, the second Song Yu, the third Song Jiang, and the fourth Song Qing. The eldest and second are just right, the third Song Jiang is eighteen years old, born with a medium-long and slightly chubby body, a dark face, a straight nose and a square mouth, lying silkworm eyebrows, long ears and lips, and a blessed appearance. Since childhood, he has read poetry and books, and practiced a good hand Sun Bin boxing, he was benevolent and chivalrous at a young age, humane "timely rain", also called "Hu Baoyi", Song Taigong himself called him "Hei Saburo". This Song Jiang also made friends with the three brothers of Dongxi Village, Chao Gai, Shijie Village, Ruan Xiaoer, Xiaowu Xiaoqi, Lei Heng of Leizhuang Village, Bai Sheng of Baiyuan Village, Wu Yong of Cheshi Village, Zhu Tong of Tonglaojia Village and other young brothers.

This day is the late spring time, fireworks in March, the spring breeze is warm, the flowers are blooming, Ruan Xiaoer, Xiaowu, Xiaoqi invited Song Jiang to Kaifeng. There is Guangji River in Yuncheng from time to time, it is one of the "four canals of Caoyun" in Bianjing, the river is deep and wide, all the things in Shandong pass through this river from the Yellow River, go straight to the northwest of Juye, Dingtao, Lankao and go to Bianjing, which is extremely convenient. Song Jiang felt that there was nothing to do recently, and he thought about the prosperity of Bianjing, so the four of them went by boat together.

Yuncheng is two or three hundred miles away from Feng, and it is quite difficult for ordinary fishing boats to support and swing the oars back and forth. The Ruan family has been fishing for generations, and the brothers are all masters of boating, and they have already loaded the fishing boat with a "herringbone mast" that can be put down, and hung the sails, which is suitable for long-distance round-trips. Guangji River north connects the Yellow River and Jinan, south into Kaifeng Mansion, both ends are the capital of a time, passenger pleasure boats, cargo ships and fishing miscellaneous boats come and go in the river, lively and extraordinary. The Ruan brothers have many acquaintances, and they are indispensable to greet each other.

Today along the northeast wind, travel so fast, unconsciously passed the giant field, just noon, that is, to Dingtao. After the meal, Xiao Er took out the fishing net from the cabin, Song Jiang suddenly realized, thinking that Brother Ruan had already said that he wanted to sell fish in Kaifeng, but it turned out that he was going to sell it on the road. The harvest along the way is quite abundant, just after Lankao, the fish in the cabin are full, at this time the sun is falling in the west, Kaifeng City has been faintly in the eyes.

Kaifeng, since called Bianzhou, Bianliang, the Spring and Autumn Period Zheng Zhuang Gong had built a granary in Zhuxian Town in the south of the city, take the meaning of "opening up the frontier", named "Kaifeng", the Han Dynasty because of the avoidance of Emperor Liu Qi, more "Kaifeng", got the name. Since the Xia Dynasty passed through the Warring States Period Wei, the Later Liang of the Five Dynasties, the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou, to the Song Dynasty, there have been seven dynasties to build their capitals here. The Warring States Wei moved the capital to the Liang, and it had to be named with Xianyang and Yingdu. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty excavated the Grand Canal, and the critical point in the middle section was the Bianhe River, which connects the Yellow River and the Huai River. And Kaifeng Huanghuai Bianhe to rush, occupy the eastern capital of Luoyang gateway, water and land convenient, and then through the Later Liang, Later Jin, Later Han, Later Zhou, Song Dynasty successively set the capital, several times to build, finally become magnificent, the scenery is charming, more than one million people and rich in the world's famous capital Dayi, the so-called "eight wilderness contend, all countries Xiantong", prosperous for a while.

The boat was moving so fast that in a blink of an eye it was at the northeast of the city where it met the moat. The Ruan brothers did not follow the Guangji River into the city of Kaifeng, but sailed the boat into the moat, turned east and south, and went straight to the Bianhe River. Song Jiang said: "Why don't brothers enter the city directly from this Wuzhang River?" "Guangji River is also known as Wuzhang River, Yuncheng people call it Wuzhang River mostly. Ruan Xiaoer smiled slightly: "When the brother knows that although my brother has come to Kaifeng Mansion many times, he has not come by boat, let alone sat in the Bianhe River to see the Bianzhou Bridge and see the scenery of Kyoto. Song Jiang's heart was warm, and he secretly thanked Xiao Er for his thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness.

The boat passed through the east gate and went south, and not far away turned to the Bianhe River into the city. The Bianhe River connects the Yellow River from the southwest of the city, traverses the whole city from west to east, and goes straight to the Huai River from the southeast. The river is vast, and the boats come and go, day and night. After Song Jiang and others entered the city, they traced the Bianhe River up, and they couldn't see how far away, and the Bianhe Bridge could be seen in the distance. Song Jiang at first glance saw several zhang high, 100 zhang long flying bridge across, there is no column under the bridge, the bridge body is the whole whole root of the big timber side by side riveted tenon to support the span of the bridge, look up like a flying rainbow, the surging water path from the bridge crossing, magnificent and wonderful, can not help but be stupid. The Ruan brothers often come and go, and they are used to it, and they are still overjoyed when they see it, and Ruan Xiaowu even points to the point and makes vain comments.

Get off the boat, the little two brothers want to send the fish and shrimp caught one by one to the old customer's restaurant, although the season has passed the spring equinox, the day is getting longer, but since the sun has set, Song Jiang is afraid that the time has delayed the store to prepare meals, but the second brother said that it is okay. When I went to many stores, I knew that this was just the time to open, and the goods were freshly peeled and cooked, and the goods arrived at the right time. Xiao Er looked at Song Jiang's confusion, and couldn't help laughing: "Kaifeng is Kyoto, dinner here is much later than in Yuncheng, there is no time to play, and the next night is very late." What does Big Brother like to eat? Song Jiang said: "I have come to Kaifeng a few times in the past, but every time I go in a hurry, I try my best to find a familiar meal to eat, and make do with it." Pick some rare ones to eat today. Xiao Er said: "Since my brother said so, we will eat some near Bianqiao." "Xiao Er is the most familiar with the road, so he took Songjiang streets and alleys back and forth.

Kaifeng is now the capital of the seven dynasties, the largest city in the world, with a population of more than one million, and it has an unprecedented prosperity and liveliness. Following Chang'an and Luoyang, all follow the general pattern of the construction of the city in the north and south of the ancient capital of Wuliang, Guzang Palace, Kaifeng as the founding city of the Great Song Dynasty, the foreign view, and its own differences. The Great Song Dynasty is a great business, the construction of Kaifeng City is to break the limit of the people's square and the commercial market, the size of the place can be set up as a city, the grass market, the town market, the city 369, etc., behind the front street, everywhere shops, with the stalls. There is also a relaxed curfew, and there are all kinds of morning markets, night markets, and street markets, all night and day. The world is rich in things, all items are allowed to be exchanged in the imperial court today, and the paper money "Jiaozi" is greatly developed, everything is a commodity, and a thousand things can make a living. What's even more strange is that Kaifeng is accessible in all directions, the world is blended, and the imported things from outside the fan are fresher and more eye-opening.

A few people from Song Jiang went north from Longjin Bridge, and then crossed the Zhuque Gate at the south gate of the inner city of Biandu, and arrived at Bianzhou Bridge, and the night market here was the most prosperous in the whole city. Seeing that the Nazhou Bridge is tall, the bridge deck is magnificent, and it occupies the surrounding terrain, and the people are coming and going at the moment, bustling; The traffic is busy, booming, and it is a lively scene.

Looking north from the Bianzhou Bridge across the royal street, the high wall and deep courtyard are the palace city. Out of the high wall and into the eye of the various halls of the flying skillful stacking, the momentum is majestic, the demeanor is solemn. The whole child is staggered, and there are ups and downs from far and near. A single look at the upward clouds, the flowing water, the round and the shape, compact and potential, collusion with its heart, arch its corners, extremely exquisite.

The night market from Bianzhou Bridge to Mahang Street, south and north extension, east and west expansion, stretch continuously, endlessly, it is actually full of city lights, tourists everywhere, the best thing to see is the night market scene on the bridge of all colors, telling stories and selling texts, writing words and paintings, tasting wine and fighting tea, etc. The Great Song Dynasty established the country very heavy Caoyun, "today's trend, the country stands according to the soldiers, the soldiers take food as their life, the food is based on Caoyun, and Caoyun is mainly ...... canals", Taizu once felt that Bianjing Kaifeng City is located in the valley, surrounded by a horse and a flat river, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, and it is not suitable to establish the capital in the place of the four wars, but in the end, because its strategic position is very important, and rely on building multiple strong city walls around it, and dig out enough moats, it can also resist foreign enemies, and love its Cao Yun developed. Kaifeng Prefecture has a total of Bianhe, Cai River, Jinshui River, Guangji Caoyun four canals through the Caoyun, flowing through the city. There are almost all bridges in the streets and alleys where the river crosses, the river is connected with the bridge horizontally, the wind is smooth, the water ripples are rippling, elegant and warm, and there is a surging charm of the water city in the south of the Yangtze River.

Song Jiang and a few people walked through the streets and alleys, lingering and forgetting to return, the more they were full of wine and delicacies, the more dazzled they were, and they forgot to be hungry for a while. Finally went around and returned to the vicinity of Bianzhou Bridge, Song Jiang became more and more fascinated, and said in his heart: "I heard that Zhang Zeduan used "Qingming Riverside Map" to paint Bian Liang in Tokyo, but unfortunately I have never seen it, and I don't know if it is the lively painting in front of him, or the more lively in front of him?" Song Jiang stands on the Bianqiao, leans on the royal street, crosses the sparkling Bianhe River, towards the flickering lights of thousands of homes, the face is blowing the spring breeze, and the heart is like boiling water: "For thousands of generations, Kaifeng has built a big city, because of the reason that the Yellow River bursts the embankment and silt, there are several heavy cities buried underground, except for the first time built, the others are the new city pressing the old city, and it has always been called the city stacked city. The same is true of the nearby mountains, Kaifeng and Dingtao have mountain names still there, but they are not visible, and the original low hills are covered. Through the layers of silt under your feet, I don't know how much history of Huang Zhong Dalu is echoing? Like the scene in front of you, in the mighty torrent, in the real big world, the roar is always the sound of galloping; The aria has always been a heavy precipitation. And in our real and illusory life, between the ideal and the reality, the most profound haunting thing is always the warmest memory, the most ardent expectation, the most beautiful dream", I can't stop sighing.

Song Jiang was groaning to himself, and Xiao Er suddenly shouted: "But you have to eat quickly, I'm hungry." The brothers came back to their senses from the bustle of the Kaifeng Night Market, and Xiao Er said to Song Jiang: "I advise my brother not to eat rare food in Kaifeng today, but to eat the usual meals that Yuncheng also has, let's pick the most authentic old shop, the most authentic to eat, the easiest to taste different from Yuncheng." Song Jiang readily agreed, and several people rushed to the place where the restaurant was gathered. Here are delicious and delicious streets with alleys, big shops next to small shops, north and south intersect, ancient and modern accommodation, there are no other places here, there are more authentic places in other places, what you have heard, what you have seen, everything.
