Editor's note
Focusing on the new era, new life, and new atmosphere, it fully depicts the achievements of Yuhua's construction, people's happy life, and high-quality economic and social development in the form of literature and art, tells the story of Yuhua, and shows the image of Yuhua. Today, the 7th issue of "Yuhua Literature and Art" was published, "There is a mother reservoir in Yuhua District, and the name is ...... like this"
There is a reservoir in Sanxian Ridge in Vaulting Horse Town, which is called "Mother Reservoir" by the locals.
One day, on a clear day, a friend said, "I'll take you to the nearby Mama Reservoir." ”
We drove south, and the road was like a streamer, flying in the green heart. After turning one bend after another, the mountain road narrows to allow only one car to enter and exit, and the branches and leaves are stacked, dark and quiet. Turning right again, the world suddenly opened up.
"It's time to arrive, this is Mama Reservoir!" A friend beckoned us to look ahead to the left.
We couldn't wait to come to the dam and look around, only to see the peaks and peaks, the mountains and rivers are surrounded by water, and the ancient trees are towering; A little farther away, there are thousands of acres of fertile land. The water in front of you, hidden under this mysterious Three Immortal Mountains, is like a fairyland. The blue sky and white clouds, mountains and green trees, reflected in this clear water, are dyed into an elegant ink painting, pure and beautiful. Occasionally, when the breeze blows, the surface of the water ripples with fine lines, glowing with broken light, and the reflection gently shakes, blurs, and crumples, crumbling in the rippling water waves of the south of the Yangtze River. From time to time, small fish will also break the tranquility of this side, mischievously jump out of the water, draw a beautiful arc in the low air close to the water, and quickly burrow into the water and swim away freely.
Mama Reservoir leans on Sanxian Ridge in the west, the ridge is northeast and southwest trending, the peaks are undulating, continuous, like a winding dragon roaring in the sky, the elevation of the main peak is 232 meters. The Qing poet Yuan Mei once left the famous sentence of "the moss climbs the stone wall is green, and the sunset is red". The surrounding area of the reservoir is densely vegetated and rich in products. According to friends, there are hundreds of rare and precious animals and plants in Sanxian Mountains, such as ancient camphor, wild Du Ying, Red Nan, etc.; All kinds of birds are happy to build nests and settle down, multiply, swallows and warblers cry, insects chirp and leap; The water depth of the reservoir is more than 30 meters, and the water contains more than 20 kinds of trace elements such as zinc, iron, and copper required by the human body.
The hypericus flowers on the shore are blooming, the buds are like peaches, the flowers are blooming like butterflies, the slender stamens are as bright as golden threads, dotted with stars, bent into a line, embellished in this green sea, so dazzling, so warm. The golden jasper bamboo, which likes the warm climate, is slender and upright with bamboo stalks, yellow and green longitudinal stripes, varying in width and narrowness, gently swaying in the breeze with a charming figure. Green mountains, green water, cottages, and pastoral fields converge into a beautiful scroll. There is a poem that praises: A bend of the flowing water road is three folds, and people listen to the evening bell in the quiet mountain village.
Towards the direction of the reservoir, facing the breeze, I closed my eyes and opened my arms, and embraced this landscape unwillingly. I love water even more, and I love the purity, clarity and agility of water. The Mama Reservoir stretches for four or five miles, and what you can see from Guanshan Bay is the "tail" of the Mama Reservoir, and the "head" is in the south of Sanxian Ridge Putangchong. It stretches out to the stone bridge Guanshan Bay, in the embrace of the green mountains, the reservoir is like a piece of magnificent jasper, inlaid on the thick green carpet.
At our feet is the main dam of the Mama Reservoir. The main dam is built between two mountains, the maximum dam height is 13.60 meters, there are guardrails on both sides of the dam crest, and the dam slope has long been reinforced with cement bricks. "In 1958, when the main dam of the reservoir was built, it was picked out by local women, most of whom were in their twenties and thirties." "My mother was born in 1930, and she said that she participated in the construction of the reservoir when she was 28 years old. In that look, there was light, and it was clearly excitement and pride. A local old man surnamed sat on the edge of the dam slope, looking at the reservoir in front of him, thoughtfully, "I am 76 years old this year, and I have contracted this reservoir to raise fish for 30 years." At that time, I was only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and I still remember the scene of the reservoir being in full swing, and it was really not easy for women to repair this reservoir. ”
Standing on the dam and looking at the land under my feet, a picture came to my mind: it was the fifties and sixties of the last century, it was the years of burning passion, women held up half of the sky, and groups of women used their weak shoulders to pick out a dam, giving up their small family for everyone, and being used by future generations. For many years, the reservoir has been continuously transporting water of life to the farmland and people in the surrounding villages, like a warm mother, silently feeding her children with sweet milk. I couldn't help but be in awe, and it was very apt to give this reservoir the name "Mom"! Most of the mothers who repaired the reservoir are gone, but the drive, the spirit of hardship and hard work, and the strong character of forbearance are still our heirlooms in the new era.
The green mountains are charming, the clear water is delicate, and the mother reservoir raises the children of the mountain village with her compassion. Generation after generation of children in mountain villages have been kind to this amiable and respectable "mother". A friend told me that now people have established a river chief system, scientifically managed and protected, and achieved the "five nos" goal (no illegal construction along the coast, no silt in the river, no garbage on the river surface, no direct sewage discharge, and no barrier-free waters). Friends said that the vaulting horse cultural tourism resources are abundant, and the "one lake, two gongs, three temples, four views and eighteen tombs" and the Baizhu Park, the Flower Expo Park, and the Liuyang River scenery belt have formed a global cultural and tourism circle. On weekends, people come here with friends or families, either camping, exploring historical sites, or having a leisurely tea party at a farmhouse.
Friends told me that the hard-working villagers have transformed and upgraded the flower and tree industry to characteristics, high-quality products and gardens, and polished the golden sign of "China's hometown of flowers and trees". With the in-depth advancement of the construction of the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Zhuzhou-Tan metropolitan area, the formation of the overall design of the Greenheart Central Park, and the rapid rhythm of the Rongcheng area in the south of Changsha, the longer greenway will connect the development of cultural and tourism resources in the Greenheart area in the future, and the Mama Reservoir is another bright pearl of Rongcheng Central Park!
Before leaving, I looked back affectionately, my mother's reservoir is so beautiful, so compassionate and loved, in this new era, rejuvenated again......
