Walking in Ganzhou
Shi Qingshan
This is a big book with unique characteristics, I can't talk to you about the content of this book, let alone describe it to you in pale language, because from the front to the back cover of this book, from the title page to the text, the wonderful pictures, the poetic words, have already decorated the beautiful city of Ganzhou colorfully, and the paving is worthy of the name.
When you open the book, you are immersed in the scene, and you are walking on the land of Ganzhou.
Walking in Ganzhou, Zhong Lingyu is beautiful, so that people can experience a long-lost relaxation and joy in the mountains and rivers. The wetland park is a national tourist attraction located in the northern part of the city, where birds migrate in spring, lotus flowers bloom in summer, reeds flutter in autumn, and snow is picturesque in winter.
If I have to choose a season I like, then I will choose the autumn when the reeds are fluttering, perhaps because of my personal preference. The autumn wind blows, the reeds are swaying, such as undulating waves fluttering in the poetry, the reeds are long, like pieces of silver millet, and like the goddess scattering flowers, the child runs in front of the plank road, I follow behind the plank road, in an instant, a kind of "nostalgia" arises spontaneously: "When I was a child, homesickness was a small stamp, I was at this end, and my mother was at that end. "Isn't this flying reed flower a small stamp? With the longing of his hometown, he unscrupulously drifted to the wanderer who was far away, leaving only a pool of reeds to look at in the autumn wind.
I don't know if it's the autumn wind that has a heart, or the reed flowers have love, the eyes that look through the autumn water suddenly have a kind of spirit that has never been there, the more the wind blows, the more firm her eyes are. "Daddy, look at that reed flower flying back again!" The child shouted at me happily, and I nodded happily. Yes, I'm finally back, and I'm finally getting news, but I know, perhaps, I'll never leave again, but it's okay, my hometown will always be our warmest harbor.
Turning page after page, the charming scenery is always beautiful, the beautiful scenery of the wetland park is still unfinished, and the bustle in the South Lake Park is permeating again. Nanhu Park is located in the south of the city, is the common name of the central cultural park of the small city, the liveliness in the park is comparable to the Lantern Festival in general, Haoyue Bridge is the most distinctive landmark building in this, standing above the water, the whole park is divided into two parts in the north and south, whenever night falls, it becomes a sea of people, the world of light.
After tea and dinner, stroll through Nanhu Park, and your tired body and mind will be healed in an instant. At half past eight o'clock in the evening, the music fountain was turned on time, accompanied by a beautiful melody, and the graceful water column depicted one after another landscape paintings of different colors in the air, as if the shadow of Qilian Mountain was reflected in the lake, constantly highlighting the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River. However, before you have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, an arc is formed between the water columns, like a smart butterfly, and like a free swan, dancing in the lights, which is dizzying.
As far as the eye can see, the landmark building - Haoyue Bridge, the bridge runs through the east and west, and there is a very eye-catching giant ship "Haoyue" standing in the center of the bridge. Under the moonlight, people come and go on the bridge, and people are weaving under the bridge, and the light shines on the wave surface for a while, red, purple, blue, and green...... The alternation of colors attracts countless tourists to stop and take pictures. Walking on the bridge, enjoying the cool breeze, or singing the past and the present, or gazing into the distance, in my opinion, this is really the poetry and distance in people's hearts.
After enjoying the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River in the city, you can also go to the Grand Canyon outside the city to feel the vicissitudes of wind and rain for hundreds of millions of years and the magical creation of nature. The famous Pingshan Lake Grand Canyon is located in the territory of Pingshan Lake Mongolia Township, Ganzhou District, about 60 kilometers away from the urban area, and is praised by China Geographic Magazine and well-known geologists and tourists at home and abroad as a new discovery of the Silk Road "comparable to Zhangjiajie" and "comparable to the Colorado Grand Canyon", there are small landscapes such as Jiulong Huihai, General Stone, Turtle Asking Shou, Lovers Peak, Lovers' Peak is the iconic landscape in the canyon, as the name suggests, it looks like a couple snuggling closely, enjoying the magnificent strange mountain scenery in front of them, It also witnesses those beautiful loyal loves for thousands of years.
Some people say that the Grand Canyon on the observation deck is like the Grand Canyon of United States, and the valley floor is like Antelope Canyon in United States, of course, there is no doubt about it, but compared to these, I prefer the devil's challenge on the first line of sky ladder attractions in the canyon. As for this, you need to squeeze through the gaps between the canyons, close to the vertical ladder, people will feel their legs trembling at a glance, when you climb the ladder to go out, it will make people feel a kind of calm and relieved, like our life of crawling and rolling, there are ups and downs, there are challenges, but keep a good attitude, and eventually you will see more beautiful scenery.
Walking in Ganzhou, the fragrance is overflowing, allowing people to taste a unique delicacy between the lines. People often fall in love with a city because of food, and they will fall in love with a city because of food, but different food feelings will give people different memories of the city.
Northerners like to eat pasta, and in Ganzhou, noodles are a memory rooted in people's bones. When I was a child, it was a rare luxury to be able to eat a bowl of fragrant noodles, and there were two times in my memory, one was to take a tricycle and follow my mother to the vegetable market in the early morning, and when I came home after selling vegetables, I could have a meal in the small restaurant at the entrance of the market, and the other was when there was something at home, such as some important festivals or guests at home. Nowadays, people's living conditions are getting better and better, and eating a bowl of noodles is no longer a luxury, but I think eating is a kind of nostalgia.
If the noodles are the root of the noodles, then the soup is the soul of the noodles, and the two complement each other and become one. In the early morning, the sun slowly rises, the town gradually becomes lively, walk into a favorite restaurant, serve a bowl of steaming noodles, fresh coriander in the bowl, delicious braised pork, golden fried tofu foam, plus a few pieces of Northwest vegetables in the roll and a few pieces of cut red fresh peppers, a bowl of unique Ganzhou flavor, it is beyond the bottom line of the stomach, I have to admit that this is a rare beauty enjoyment.
If it is said that noodles are a habit and a kind of nostalgia of the local people, then the fish noodles in the small town are a kind of memory and a culture here. The two ends of the fish noodles are thin and thick in the middle, and when they are put into a pot of boiling water, they are like a flexible small fish swimming around, so they are also called "rubbing fish roe". My mother is an expert at this, and although she is not a professional chef, the roe that comes out of her hands is always vivid and vivid. She said that each grain in her hometown has a different taste, and the history of their roots in this hot land is extremely shocking in every inch, and the fish roe has experienced the years of growing buckwheat, wheat, barley, sorghum and other grains, and is also a witness to their deliciousness.
Rubbing caviar is a delicacy on the tip of the tongue, and it is the top representative of the food of the small town, from hotels and hotels to small restaurants, all of which are not used as image spokespersons. In Ganzhou Alley, my wife and I have been around for a long time, and we never know what to eat, maybe this is a common problem for most people, but we will still choose a kind of food that they like, and finally her eyes stayed on a colorful fish noodle, the color of the feast of greedy people drooling, and we ate with relish. Since the beginning of the fathers, Ganzhou Alley has become a feast for the taste buds of generation after generation and the carrier of emotions, but at that time it was not called Ganzhou Alley, called Ganzhou Market, every time I followed my parents into the city, less than once Ganzhou Market, I always felt that it was not perfect, and now this emotion has become more profound.
Compared with the gentleness and elegance of rubbing the roe, the firecracker is warm and bold, which is named because the inch of noodles resembles firecrackers. In 2017, CCTV's "Charming China Town" was officially launched, and the large-scale urban cultural tourism brand competition program was in full swing, and Sun Ji fried crackers were moved to the stage scene of CCTV. Looking at the delicious, fragrant, soft and chewy cannon noodles, you will be eager to have a bowl, the fragrance alone has a different flavor, if you drink a bowl of noodle soup after eating, it is like falling into a fairyland.
The small city of Ganzhou, fertile for thousands of miles, the second largest inland river in the country runs through the border, where everything grows in a competitive manner, the food is attractive, and the noodles, fish noodles, cannon sticks...... Bowls of unique pasta are permeated with the heavy years and the mountains and rivers of the hometown, and also mixed with the simplicity and affection of people for thousands of years.
Walking in Ganzhou, the humanities are gathered, so that people can feel a thick history and culture in the lively city. "Rebuilding Wanshou Temple Inscription" records: "When Shakyamunia attained, he cremated Samadhi, obtained 84,000 relics, Ashoka built a tower and placed a bottle, and each grain built a tower, and one of the wooden pagodas in Ganzhou. This wooden pagoda is in the Wanshou Temple, located in the west side of the central square of the government street in Xiaocheng County, according to the records of the Ganzhou Mansion Chronicle, the Wanshou Temple was founded in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui (582) was rebuilt, after the Tang Dynasty, it was repeatedly repaired, it is one of the famous temples with a long history in the province, now, most of the original buildings in the temple have not existed, and now only the wooden tower and the Tibetan scripture building remain.
Approaching the wooden tower, a kind of "volleying from the ground, piercing the clouds and sky" breath came to the face. The pigeons hover back and forth around the tower, and the wind chimes hanging under the head of the brick-carved dragon with jewels in the mouth at the corners of the eight directions tinkle in the breeze, as if to accompany the pigeons. Getting closer and closer, gently touching the tower with your hand, or silently making a wish, or quietly waiting for good news, it is a unique taste. Once upon a time, a few pestles sparse the bell, the bell faintly echoed in the sky, that is "the tower is towering, the bell buckles the white clouds".
The sixty-second chapter of "Journey to the West" records that the monks explained to Sanzang: "My Jinguang Temple, since the pagoda is shrouded in auspicious clouds, the mist rises, the night shines the sunset, and someone has seen it for thousands of miles; The day is full of color, and the four countries have no different vision. The wooden tower is a nine-level brick and wood structure, symbolizing the meaning of the ninefold, looking up, such as the pagoda of Jinguang Temple, "leaning on the Han and leaning on the sky", and then going forward, the situation of Tang Seng sweeping the tower appeared in his mind, at that moment, he suddenly understood why he swept the tower from the bottom to the top.
Climb the tower at a glance, meditate, and slim down. Just like Tang Sanzang sweeping the tower, whether in study or in work, we must start from the most basic, to come layer by layer, little by little to progress, if we give up halfway, then we can only give up all the previous efforts.
Coming out of the wooden pagoda, walking along the county street through a crossroads to the Big Buddha Temple Square, through the Big Buddha Temple Square, you can see the largest and most intact Xixia royal temple in the country - the Big Buddha Temple. The Big Buddha Temple was built in the first year of Yong'an in Western Xia (1098), because there is a huge reclining Buddha statue in the temple, it is also known as the Sleeping Buddha Temple. Some people say that if you don't go to the Big Buddha Temple when you come here, it's like going to Xi'an without going to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which is the symbol of Xi'an, and the Big Buddha Temple is the symbol of the city.
Entering the temple from the mountain gate, you can feel a sense of solemnity and solemnity in an instant, and the beauty of the ancient buildings in the temple presents a quiet and peaceful beauty. Walk into the main hall of the reclining Buddha, the huge reclining Buddha on the main hall is awe-inspiring, the reclining Buddha looks peaceful, the eyes are half-closed, it seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, the posture is expressive, and the couplet on the door of the main hall "reclining Buddha sleeps for a long time, sleeps for thousands of years and does not wake up; The one who asks will always ask, and the one who asks will never ask the unknown" complement each other. Buddha statue on both sides of the statue of Youpoyi, Youpo Sai standing statue of each one, the back is the ten disciples mourning and mourning statues, the north and south sides of the hall are molded eighteen Arhat group statues, the forms are different, the image is vivid. Kneel down in front of the Buddha statue, fold your hands, close your eyes, and wish your family good health, and may the country and the people of China be safe. In the temple, you can also see many unique places such as Dacheng Hall and Tibetan Scripture Hall, and the beauty of ancient buildings and the deep integration of Buddhist treasures have attracted countless tourists.
Standing on the street, it seems that you have traveled to Xi'an Datang Sleepless City in one second, and you can experience the elegance and grace of Datang in poetry in an immersive feeling. "The desert sand is like snow, the moon in Yanshan is like a hook", "the body has no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart has a little understanding", one poem at a time, one rhyme at a time, the children who sang forgot to cry, and the old people who sang were full of spring breeze.
It is said that to understand a city, you must start with a museum, and I would like to say that this book is an open-air museum in the small city of Ganzhou. A mountain, a river, a grass and a tree highlight the beauty and youth of the town, a wisp of a porridge and a meal embodies the diligence and simplicity of the town, a brick and a tile, a street and an alley permeate the history and culture of the town, every picture in the book is intoxicating, and every story in the book is more moving, like a poem, like a song, so that the town is full of sunshine and love.
That day, I flipped and flipped and read and read, but I still couldn't find a perfect word to describe the wonderfulness of this book.
Perhaps, walking here, you can feel the wonderful artistic conception of the poet's pen......
