A place of great talent

"Longfeng BAY" WHAT a beautiful NAME, in the eyes of many admirers is a piece of mountains by the river, water and grass fat, natural beauty, Tianbao, outstanding people and spirit of FENG SHUI treasure

From her location, 120 kilometers away from the southern foot of Daqingshan, Pingding mountain at the foot of the Qingshuihe county to the north 14 kilometers from the Hunhe bank; In front of the river meandering flow, behind the mountains from east to west to form a small natural basin around the mountains and water.

In fact, this place originally did not have the reputation of "Guilin landscape is the best in the world," like Guilin in our imagination, the West Lake "Castle peak building outside the mountains, West Lake song and dance when the rest". But ONCE the yellow sand ravAGES, barren land, ravines and ravines of the hinterland, later can be named "Longfeng Bay" this beautiful name, completely rely on the spirit of unremitting self-improvement, manpower created.

I am very lucky to be born here, grew up here, to the hometown of a mountain, a water, a tree and a very familiar, can not erase the experience and feelings of those little drops... It makes for a good memory.

Firstly, it originates from Pinglu County, Shanxi Province, and flows into Hohhot City and Linger County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, near the Kill Tiger mouth of the Great Wall, first from the east to the west, and then turns southwest into Qingshuihe County, and then passes through the Hun River, which joins the Yellow River near the mouth of the fork River. Here left 7.5 kilometers of ancient channel, so that the people here and Hun River, but also printed a legend traced by later generations.

Curved river flows in front of a beach, the beach lies flat, the river direct current, each way, "the beach does not make the river." Even if there were occasional frictions and collisions between them: the raging roar of the angry river, washing the still earth on its shore; The beach fights back by hurling sand grains into the river with the howling wind! But when they are calm, they live in harmony again, and the quiet of the beach, the gentle of the river, and the watchful of the desolate mountains make the bay a natural sight.

"Dry", it is man to conquer the sky, the transformation of mountains and rivers of lofty ambition; "Fight", it is not afraid of difficulties, carry forward the spirit of the Yugong mountains. Canal diversion, muddy silt, afforestation, improve the ecology. The yellow sand is covered by terra cotta, the strong storm is blocked by trees; The river and the beach, which were once separate, became partners, and the river watered the soil and nourished the fields. The former barren land has become the "cornucopia" on which people depend for their livelihood.

The subjective transformation of a color is very light in the hands of literati and painters. But it is not so easy to change the color of a piece of land or a mountain. In this process of turning yellow sand into red soil, how many people's hard work and struggle have accumulated -- they use their life years, precious time, sweat from their bodies, and even precious blood to exchange for...

The objective existence of a landscape is natural and harmonious. "Dangyang Bridge" canyon, as standing in the Hun River a stone lock, cut off the river waist. The flexible river, just with soft and resilient endurance, after countless years of washing day and night, in the middle of the hard and unparalleled stone sluice to break a gap, forming the north and south sides of the strange mountains relative, the river torrent and the spectacular scenery.

Is Dangyang Bridge a bridge? Exactly where the name came from is unknown. However, in my memory, there is no bridge here at all. I only remember when I was young, people used to tell stories about The Three Kingdoms: "Straw boat borrows arrows, Zhao Yun goes in and out seven times before Changbanpo, and Zhang Fei drinks up Dangyang Bridge." He often went to the top of Dangyang Bridge to find Zhang Fei with his friends in the village. Also really found on the stone rock left Zhang Fei real, full of more than two feet long footprints and the rear buttocks of the horse, and natural lifelike, as if Zhang Fei forced to step in the stone rock, the rear buttocks of the horse and left traces. There was no sign of any carving, and nearby stood a manger hewn out of hard stone. What I saw and heard at that time occupied the whole world of my innocent and flawless childhood. I believe that the story of The Three Kingdoms, "roar before Dangyang Bridge, drink the bridge and water flows back" happened here! I didn't know it was just a legend until I went to school and listened to the teacher talk about Chinese history.

Although this is a legend, it has brought to all people a profound meaning of spiritual food, leaving a wonderful history and culture.

In the early 1970s, when Yangqiao Reservoir was built, a stone arch bridge was erected, ending the history of Yangqiao without a bridge. With the construction and expansion of various facilities, these historic sites have been completely occupied and disappeared, which is somewhat regrettable.

The starting point of the mountain is called "Shibi Mountain", which is a turning point towards the Hunhe River. The steep cliff, extraordinary as if done by the gods, extends to the west and throws Dangyangshan to the south, just like the giant's arm will tightly embrace the Hun River into the arms, which is the storage reservoir after the completion of Dangyangqiao reservoir.

Legend SHIBI MOUNTAIN HAS a cave, lived a THOUSAND YEARS of IMMORTAL, good deeds, prevent disasters and rescue, if the nearby people have a red and white feast can also come to the immortal cave to borrow bowls and plates, can be a God to come AND go the FAIRyland on earth. I do not know when the mountain quarrying here, the roar of artillery, cave damage, fairy frightened, really can not live, had to flee.

This folktale contains too much of what we commonly call "the harmonious coexistence of man and nature" culture. She is immortal, has the ability to understand the sky, any difficulty can be overcome; She is willing to share the ecological livable paradise seriously, but it is difficult!

Like this folk tale, the essence of "Longfeng Bay" is the pursuit of environmental beauty. The beauty of the environment is inseparable from ecological protection, especially the beauty of natural ecology is the embodiment of human civilization. It also expresses the "Longfeng Bay" people's cognition of ecological environment.

There's evidence to be found, traces to prove it. Since the 1990s, people have been blindly pursuing economic development, taking the clumsy approach of quick success and quick gains, and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, and challenging the natural resources without resistance and without words... Tear off your coat, cut your body, the loud sound of guns, not for your birthday, but cut your soul three ring; The deafening machinery is not the sedan chair that carries you into the seat, but the channel that carries you in exchange for RMB. Endless waste, so that in front of the Shibi mountain, Dangyang bridge, the whole "Longfeng Mountain" has become riddled with holes, beyond recognition. Although the symbolic landfill and vegetation restoration, but thousands of years to create the natural and original beauty has disappeared from our side, can not be recovered, how sad.

Millennium immortals walked helplessly, those on the top of the head halo, holding heavy gold dignities, you are the real great God, can turn the quiet mountain into the resources of Zhong Mingding food. Unfortunately, "benefit from a moment, can not be based on long-term." When the "ordinary people" who have lived here for generations fled, the great God covered his chest and introspected and confessed, bringing not only a sigh, but a disaster.

Great gods, you are destroying the sacred and time-honored natural life, annihilating the ancestors through the vicissitude of the sea to preserve a share of the family. Indeed, we can see that the complete mountain has a large and small pit, the majestic stone wall has been incomplete, the beautiful natural appearance is extreme mining, leaving the mess everywhere, is the biggest threat to ecological protection. Pray to the exalted gods, will you show mercy and do no harm? Turn your eyes to other ways of doing business, and apply your eye to the creation of wealth; Leave a little shade for future generations and a little rest for nature.

To get rid of poverty and become rich is the goal that all people yearn for. But to build on beauty and peace, the pursuit of wealth must follow order. It is true that human existence needs creation and social progress needs economic development, but we should not lose our rationality for this reason and we should never be too arrogant towards nature. Creation should be in harmony with nature, rather than by selling nature to achieve the desire to get rich.

For example: if we cut off the "nose" of Laoniuwan, will there be today's "first bay in the world" spectacular? If we had damaged the "Big Longan" and "TWO Longan" in the past, could we have created a tourist attraction of Balong Bay?

To tell the truth, to tell the truth, to reveal the indecency, to uncover the sand. But I really can not find a euphemism to avoid this brutal fact, also for the "fly in the ointment" this idiom found a best place.

I'm glad I was born here and grew up in this era. Who are you that you can't do anything about it, that you're submissive when you should be, that you're too small when you want to stop it? To this can only shake his head in dismay, issued a weak call, but also how?
