Hometown Manfuba: Infiltrate my heart
Zheng Xuechao
The water is moist and green, and the water is full of blessing dams.
My hometown, Manfulba, is located in the southern county of Sichuan Province, which is close to the Hongyanzi Lake Scenic Area and separated from the county by a river. The Jialing River is like a green ribbon, gently surrounding, gently separating Manfuba from the hustle and bustle of the world, leaving a piece of tranquility and beauty. Whenever the morning dawn first dew, or the sun sets, Manfuba is draped in a soft golden veil, a masterpiece of nature's exquisiteness.
It is a place that is born of water, beautiful by water, and thrives because of water. Here, you can see the beautiful scenery of fragrant grass and trees, plank road strange stones, slow hills and blue lakes, flowing water and waterfalls, and "boats on the blue waves, people swim in the painting".
The name "Manfuba" is not only a geographical noun, but also an emotional symbol. The word "full blessing" gives people the association of happiness and satisfaction. It is like a warm embrace, making people feel the warmth and tranquility of home. Whenever I mention "Manfuba", I will have an indescribable emotion in my heart. It is a deep love for my hometown and endless nostalgia, containing a strong emotional connection, a warm picture, slowly unfolding in my heart.
Walking into Manfu Dam, the first thing that catches your eye is the sparkling Hongyanzi Lake, the lake water is clear and turquoise, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and the lush trees on the shore, like a flowing landscape painting. The lake is lined with metasequoias, and the four seasons change their colors, from tender green to golden yellow to deep red, each season has its own unique charm. The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, as if whispering ancient and mysterious stories.
Huofeng Mountain, which is close to Hongyanzi Lake, is located on the north bank of the Jialing River in the southern county seat, winding like a dragon, the hinterland is open, the green trees are shady, the northeast is facing the southwest, and the main peak can overlook the Jialing River. Huofeng Mountain was the battlefield of the Red Army's fierce battle against the enemy in August 1933, and it was a holy place where Xu Xiangqian, Li Xiannian, Wang Shusheng, Xu Shiyou and other proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation came to command the battle and sow the revolutionary fire, leaving glorious revolutionary historical relics. It faces the Jialing blue wave in front, faces the Hongyanzi Power Station Dam with an installed capacity of 90,000 kilowatt hours, and has the Jialing River Bridge under it, and the long dragon lies horizontally. The vista of the park is also very charming, you can have a bird's-eye view of the whole city and Lingyun Mountain and Xiaoguan in the west, there are Qintai pavilions in the north, there are layers of terraced fields in the south, and the majestic posture of the big Buddha in the stele courtyard is faintly visible in the east, which is a rare natural landscape.

"The Zen sky is close, and the edge of the dust is extinct. You can't see the clouds in the wild, and the cranes only plant pines. The door is clean and cloudy, and the pool is empty and the water is moonlight. Even if you are idle to collect medicine, only on this peak. "This poem is from the Qing Dynasty · Huiman, a monk of Huofeng Mountain, ancient appearance and ancient heart, extremely strict Qing rules, good work and poetry. This is the poet monk's true feelings for Huofeng Mountain.
The night moon cave is on the mountainside of Huofeng, it is a natural karst cave, facing the north and back to the south, whenever the night is empty in the mountains, the bright moon shines high, and the water of the Jialing River is one color, the sound of the wind and the sound of the waves are symphonic into a song.

"The stone light catches the water light, and the glow becomes white. When there is no decay, how can there be a round shortage? This is the Qing Dynasty poet Li Yunxiu's description of the Night Moon Cave of Huofeng Mountain, which depicts a picture of natural beauty. The stone light and the water light meet and reflect each other, creating a blank white (perhaps referring to the soft and hazy white glow produced by the interplay of light and shadow), creating an atmosphere of serenity, harmony and a slight mystery. This scene not only shows the beauty and harmony of the natural world, but also implies the poet's deep perception of the natural beauty of Huofeng Mountain. According to Daoguang's "Southern County Chronicles", there are records of fourteen scenes, which were called "night moon and glow" in ancient times.
As the largest wetland park in southern county, Yuji Island covers an area of about 2,000 acres, is located in the center of Manfu Dam, close to Hongyanzi Lake Scenic Area, and is named after the footprints left by Dayu's water control. It is not an ecological area rich in natural landscapes, but also carries a profound historical and cultural heritage. The park includes a variety of facilities such as inland river construction, tourist wharf, landscaping, and ecological trails. Walking in Yuji Island, the breeze is coming, the river is sparkling, and the willows on the shore are swaying with the wind, and tourists seem to be in a beautiful landscape painting.

Manfu Dam is not only beautiful in nature, but also has a profound cultural heritage. The historic Qintai Temple at the entrance of the village (now the temple has been destroyed) has witnessed the change of countless dynasties and the vicissitudes of time. "The flowing water and the high mountain rhyme have sunk, and there are bosom friends when we meet here. The bustling people are on the spring hall, and the wind passes through the pine forest. There are tricks and peaks should be heard, and the boundless peach and plum are all shady. There is no Diandao in the seat, and Tao Qian is allowed to sing. This is a vivid description of the Qing Dynasty poet Li Shu's "Qintai Spring Man". Legend has it that this was once the place where the fairy danced on the piano, and its mountains and rivers reflect each other, which is so beautiful that people will not want to return. Every festival, the villagers will sing and dance in front of Qintai Temple, praying for good weather and abundant harvests.
Standing in the water park (the original entrance of Huanjiangsi Village), you can see that the top of the hills on the other side of the river is round or flat-topped mountain beams, it is a typical hilly area in northern Sichuan, although it is not very high, but it is quite imposing. Legend has it that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, incense burned continuously on the five mountains, and there were often Buddhist believers who came here to worship the Buddha and make wishes. Every Guanyin Christmas and Buddha's birthday, the believers who worship are shoulder to shoulder, and there is an endless stream. There is Lingquan Nunnery on the mountain of five faces, there is a spring not far from the southeast of the nunnery, the water quality is clear, the four seasons gush up, the taste is sweet, it is called Lingquan, the nunnery is named because of the spring. Lingquan Nunnery was built in 1945 and covers an area of more than 100 square meters.

In addition, Manfuba is also a paradise for southern citizens to relax and vacation, where you can stroll through the forest paths and listen to the singing of birds and flowers; You can also take a boat on the lake and feel the comfort of rippling blue waves. And the laughter and laughter of the water park add a bit of vitality to this land.
Manfuba, a land nourished by both nature and humanity, tells the story of the years in its unique way. Here, time seems to slow down, making people forget the troubles and sorrows of the world. Every time I set foot on this land, I can feel an inexplicable kindness and warmth. May we all cherish this beauty, so that the tranquility and beauty of Manfuba will be passed on forever.
