The Pearl of the Yellow River comes out of Shanxi and Shaanxi

Yellow River,

Running all the way from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Travel thousands of miles

How many rivers and streams converge?

How many ditches have you jumped?

What kind of wind, frost, snow and rain

How many difficulties and obstacles have been overcome

Desperate until it falls into the sea.

Yellow River,

How many Chinese children have you raised?

Condensed into a majestic force

Live on for thousands of years

Melted into a great national spirit.

Take a big turn in the Yellow River

In the process of the formation and growth of the Yellow River civilization, the people of all ethnic groups along the Yellow River have created, enriched and developed colorful arts, which have played an irreplaceable role in the cohesion of the national spirit. it has become the common spiritual wealth of the sons and daughters of the Yellow River and even the sons and daughters of China.

Thousands of miles of the Yellow River produces and owns countless literary works, which can be described as a river of stars. I intercepted one section, that is, the Yellow River in the Shanxi-Shaanxi Gorge, to see how many outstanding works of art and how many outstanding literary and artistic masters have emerged along this section of the Yellow River from ancient times to the present. I am from the Jin Dynasty, and the list is mainly on the Shanxi side of the east bank of the Yellow River.

Trail the Yangtze River

First of all, I would like to talk about a related topic, how to understand the similarities and differences between the Yellow River culture and the Yangtze River culture. The Yellow River and the Yangtze River involve more than half of China, especially the whole Central Plains. In the process of the development of Chinese civilization, the Yellow River, like the Yangtze River, is not only a natural existence, but also a symbol of spirit. Both the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are the mother rivers of the Chinese nation and the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization. These two rivers run through the east and west of China. In terms of cultural meaning, they all have common characteristics.

I personally understand that their spiritual directions have both similarities and differences. For example, when people think of the Yellow River, they will think that it is vigorous, stirring, tragic and desolate, and it represents more perseverance and hardship. The Yangtze River, more like the image of a mother, its moist, generous and tolerant, is a symbol of the grace of upbringing. The lyrics of the Song of the Yangtze River moved us because the lyrics accurately expressed the spirit of the Yangtze River. "you are an infinite source" and "you have the feelings of a mother". Therefore, they are the mother river of the Chinese nation, but in our spiritual imagination, the two rivers have different bearing and different symbols. And this is the place where writers and artists can give full play to their imagination and express themselves.

Laoniu Bay

The Yellow River enters Shanxi from Inner Mongolia, the first stop is Laoniuwan, Pianguan. There is the Yellow River and the Great Wall "shake hands" place, Qiankun Bay, beacon towers, all highlight the thick culture carried by the Yellow River. She went all the way south, through the whole Shanxi-Shaanxi canyon, hit Zhongtiao Mountain to the east, and came out of Shanxi from the horseshoe nest. Between a "cow" and a "horse", she passed through 19 counties and cities in Shanxi, forming a very unique culture. From then on, the Yellow River can be said to have entered the middle reaches.

Han-Jin-Shan Gorge

The Yellow River in the Shanxi-Shaanxi Canyon has created too much art that has been handed down through the ages. Shanxi Hequ is the birthplace of northern Shanxi folk songs, or melodious, or euphemistic, or festive, or poignant, singing the struggle, struggle, comfort, peace, reunion and separation of the people in the yellow land. The song "going to Xikou" is a masterpiece of folk songs in the northwest of Shanxi Province, a portrayal of history, a record of people's livelihood, and a deep expression of affection and love. In northwest Shanxi, northern Shaanxi and western Inner Mongolia, folk art represented by "Errentai" and Xin Tianyou has extensive and far-reaching influence, and is undoubtedly the treasure of folk art in the Yellow River Basin.

The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow. Look inside and outside the Great Wall, only reckless; up and down the river, suddenly lost surging. The mountain dance silver snake, the original wax figure, wants to compete with the heavenly duke. Must sunny day, see red wrapped in plain, particularly enchanting.

There are so many beautiful mountains and rivers that countless heroes compete to bend over. Cherish Qin Emperor Han Wu, slightly lost literary talent; Tang Zong Song Zu, slightly less coquettish. A generation of Tianjiao, Genghis Khan, only knew how to shoot eagles with curved bows. All in the past, the number of romantic people, but also look at the present.

Haohukou Waterfall

Hukou Waterfall, located in the Shanxi-Shaanxi Canyon, is undoubtedly the "most wonderful part" of the whole Yellow River. Waterfalls will show different postures due to different seasons and climates. even in the same crowd, facing Hukou, they will stir up different feelings in the depths of their hearts.

Haohukou Waterfall

For a long time, for ordinary people on both sides of the strait, Hukou Waterfall is a difficulty that is difficult to cross and cannot be bypassed. In the period of underdeveloped land transportation, the shipping of the Yellow River was an important way to communicate between the northwest and North China, and any ship had to abandon the water and go ashore when it reached Hukou, so there was the spectacle of "sailing on dry land" in this area. Hukou is also a place that writers and artists yearn for. For thousands of years, there have been countless poems about Hukou Waterfall. The modern poet Guang Weicang and musician Xian Xinghai wrote the famous "Yellow River chorus" because of Hukou's solemn and heroic trend, and the artistic aura of Hukou was inspired to the extreme.

Descending along the canyon, located in Hejin, Shanxi Province and Longmen, Shaanxi Province, it is another famous sight on the Yellow River. The historian Sima Qian was born here. "the last song of a historian, the unrhymed Lisao", which is Lu Xun's evaluation of Sima Qian's Historical Records. Hancheng, Shaanxi Province has been recognized as the hometown of Sima Qian, and there are still people with Sima surname on this side of Shanxi who regard it as their ancestors. Sima Qian's works undoubtedly contain the quintessence of the Yellow River culture, which is deeply embedded in the cultural character of the sons and daughters of the Yellow River and plays the role of bacon in shaping the soul and spiritual inheritance of a nation.

Qiufeng Building

The Yellow River came out of the canyon into the plain and came to Wanrong, Shanxi Province. There is the confluence of the Yellow River and the Fenhe River. Looking back at that time, Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty wrote the famous poem "the ci of the Autumn Wind" here, which made the best artistic mark here. "the autumn wind rises, white clouds fly, and the plants are yellow and the wild geese return to the south. Lan Youxiu is full of chrysanthemums and Fang, and you can't forget your beauty. The pan-building boat is the Jifen River, which flows in the middle of the river. The sound of Xiao drum, the sound of song, the joy is great, the sorrow is many. When will the young and strong be sorry, Lao he? " The sigh of life travels through a thousand years, which makes people sigh.
