In the past few days, I have been driving through the Jinyu Taihang Grand Canyon, first Linzhou Hongqi Canal, then Wang Xiangyan in Shibanyan, then Anyang Yin Ruins, Text Museum, and back to Huguan, and explored Yinggu Gorge after several twists and turns. Traveling through the majestic canyon formed by staggered platform walls, secluded valleys and strange peaks, wandering on the Red Flag Canal, and wandering in the history of writing, you will finally relax your body and mind, and let your imagination run wild like a horse.

Shenyou Hongqi Canal

In the 1960s, under the extremely difficult conditions, the people of Linxian County used their ingenuity, wisdom and fearless spirit of not fearing hardship or death to split mountains and dig ridges, dig holes and grooves, and build the project of "drawing Zhangzhou into the forest" from the cliffs of Taihang Mountain. ——Hongqi Canal, which not only enabled Linzhou to solve the problem of water shortage, but also passed down the Hongqi Canal spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication" from generation to generation. The Hongqi Canal is known as the "artificial Tianhe" and "the eighth wonder of the world".

The sharp gunner Chang Yinhu, with a rope around his waist, works in the air, and blasts cannons on the cliff. At the critical moment of the collapse, she pushed her comrades away desperately, but she lost a leg forever; the hole-drilling hero Wang Shicun, in order to open the Shuguang Cave, was not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and fell into the cave seven times. Wu Zutai, the backbone of engineering technology in his prime, devoted himself to the construction site, carefully surveying and designing construction drawings one after another. When the construction of the Wangjiazhuang Tunnel collapsed, he risked his life to enter the cave to investigate the danger, but was unfortunately collapsed. Takes a young life.... The construction of the Red Flag Canal is a process for the people of Lin County to change their destiny, and it is also a process of forging heroes. 189 heroic sons and daughters sacrificed their precious lives, and 256 people were seriously injured and disabled. They wrote a song with their flesh and blood and even at the cost of their lives. A song of heroism. After seeing the main gate of the Hongqi Canal and the memorial hall in the Taihang Mountains, I was deeply shocked, and my eyes were moist when I watched it. The "simple smiling face, entrepreneurial spirit, and joy of victory" is why we no longer associate Yang Gui with Concubine Yang, but talk about the "two dry" of the first, second, and third canals. abuse. The next day, I stepped on the edge of the stone ridge of Qingnian Cave and walked slowly. I was even more amazed! Entrepreneurship Cave, Tuanjie Cave, Split Taihang Mountain, walking by the canal, green shade and breeze, how leisurely, "Ask where the canal is so clear, it is the source of fresh water", Shuanglong Cave, Yixiantian, and Luositan are incomparable, The water of the Zhuozhang River flows through Shanxi and Henan to Linzhou.

The long canal is like a song, and the high mountains are monuments. What you see when you go to the Hongqi Canal is actually a kind of spirit, a spirit that challenges nature and never admits defeat. This is a model of Chinese spirit in practice. History not only carries the past, but also is full of inspiration. future wisdom. The realization of the Chinese dream requires not only visible external material power, but also invisible internal spiritual power. The spirit of Hongqi Canal will shine brightly on the journey of realizing the Chinese dream. It will pass through the spiritual highland and pass it on. It will not be difficult to realize the great rejuvenation of the nation. .

Wandering in the text

In the twelfth century BC, among the few relics left to the present people during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, a considerable part belonged to a woman named "Fuhao". She was the wife of Shang Wang Wuding, and the temple name of Fuhao was " Xin", the descendants of the Shang Dynasty respectfully called her "Mother Xin", "Mother Xin", "Stepmother Xin". The name "Fuhao" appears frequently in the extant oracle bone documents. Wu Ding's prayers to heaven in these divinations include all aspects of Fuhao's life: war, childbirth, disease, and even her condition after death. . The Yin Ruins in Xiaotun Village, Anyang are well preserved, but it is the tomb of Fuhao...

Fuhao is smart and has extraordinary courage and wisdom. In the summer of a certain year, foreign enemies invaded the northern border, and Fu Hao volunteered to lead troops to help in the war. Fu Hao went to the front line to dispatch and command well, and took the lead, and soon defeated the enemy. Wu Ding appointed Fu Hao as the commander of the Shang Dynasty. After that, Fu Hao led the army to conquer and fight, and defeated the North Tufang, Nanyi Kingdom, and Nanba Fang successively. More than 20 small countries, such as China, Guifang, etc., have made immortal military exploits for the Shang Dynasty to expand its territory. In the battle against the Qiang side, Fu Hao led more than half of the troops of the Shang Dynasty to more than 13,000 troops, and won the battle. This was not only the largest troop dispatch in the Wuding period, but also an event that laid the foundation for the historical process of Chinese civilization. decisive battle. Historians believe that the significance of this battle is no less than that of the legendary battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. Fuhao also mastered the scriptures of sacrifice and divination in the Shang Dynasty, and often presided over such ceremonies. She was a veritable priest and the highest priest.

Yin Ruins is the ruins of the capital city of the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is the first confirmed capital city in Chinese history. Its discovery and excavation were rated as the first of China's "major archaeological discoveries" in the 20th century. The Yinxu Royal Mausoleum Site, the Yinxu Palace Ancestral Temple Site, and the Huanbei Commercial City Site together form the large-scale and magnificent Yinxu Site. composition. In the Yin Ruins, there are a large number of bronze wares, stone wares, bone wares, jade wares and other cultural relics with precious historical value, including the Simuwu Dafang Ding. The palace area of ​​Yin Ruins is well-known at home and abroad. , with "three elements of city, characters and bronzes", "is a splendid Chinese civilization". Based on it, there is a Chinese character museum in Anyang.

The history of the emergence of characters is very long. We have gone through a long time from scratch, from simple to complex, from depicting symbols to Li Kaixing cursive. "Shuowen Jiezi Xu" said: "The Yellow Emperor's historian Cangjie saw the traces of the hooves of birds and beasts, and he knew how to distinguish them from each other. He first made a book contract." Seeing the footprints of birds and beasts, different birds and beasts can be distinguished according to different footprints, so inspired, he began to create characters, and Cangjie was honored as the ancestor of characters. In the long history of character evolution, oracle bone inscriptions, as the earliest nearly mature writing system in my country, are undoubtedly a highlight. He can be seen in Yinxu Museum, Anyang Museum, and Chinese Character Museum.

Oracle bone inscriptions allow us to understand the history of the Shang Dynasty. From "the fate of the mysterious bird descended and gave birth to merchants" to "the vastness of Yin Tu's houses", merchants have created an era of divination and doubt, forged an era of bronze prosperity, carved an era of pure stones and beautiful jade, and painted a picture. The picture scroll of Bingyan fighting the battle-axe and carrying the gallop. Yin Ruins, a glorious history; Yin Ruins, a bright pearl, the memory of a dynasty, while lamenting the Chinese civilization, I can also glimpse the epitome of our standing among the nations of the world.

Crossing the Taihang Canyon

The Taihang Grand Canyon is located at the junction of Shanxi and Henan provinces. The Linzhou part of Anyang City starts from Huishanjiao, Rencun Township in the north, and ends at the bottom of Shanxi Jingjing in the south. , the two sides of the Strait are typical Zhangshiyan landforms, with core scenic spots such as Quantan Peach Blossom Valley, Baili Gallery Taihang Tianlu, Taihang Soul Wangxiangyan, primitive ecological canyon rafting, fairyland Xianxia Valley, etc., and the green cliffs are like Diandai , Chibi is like the morning glow, the trees are covered with birds, the pool is green and the water is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, the cliffs are high, the peaks are towering, the masculinity is exposed, the Cangxi River is turbulent, and the waterfalls hang in all directions. The Huguan part of Changzhi is famous for its national forest park. Its Baquan Gorge, Hongdou Gorge, Heilongtan, Zituan Mountain, Qinglong Gorge and other scenery are forests, mountains, canyons, caves, springs, waterfalls, pools, rivers, etc. As for the natural landscape, the canyon is gentle in the west and steep in the east, and wins with majesty, grandeur, deepness, peculiarity, beauty and steepness. One day, a group of five of us lived in the folk house of Dream Farm in Dahe Village. In Shibanyan Township, there are high cliffs, towering peaks, masculine vigor, staggered terraces, turbulent Cangxi River, and hanging waterfalls, which are typical representatives of "Beixiong scenery". While walking through the Grand Canyon, we passed through Shiban Township to plunder Wangxiangyan, and Dahe Village walked Qinglong Gorge at night, but our goal is Yinggu Gorge.

On the morning of May 1st, our group drove through Huguan, stepped on the catwalk, climbed the goose house, and descended Laoyatuo, fully appreciating the unique uniqueness and steepness of Taihang Mountain. Yinggu Gorge is named after the legend that during the Warring States Period, the husband of Aunt Ying in Nanzhang Village participated in the battle to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao and died in the battle. When Yang Liulang was defeated in Huguan and came here, there were chasers behind him, and there was no way to go on the cliff in front of him. In anxiety, a cat jumped on the cliff, and Yang Liulang followed the cat's walking traces to climb over the cliff and escape the chase. Soldiers, and finally there is this way. Mao Road is the shortest road connecting Qiaoshang Township and Goose House Township in Huguan County. On the cliff in the Grand Canyon, it is the main road for the ancients to go to Goose House Township on the top of the mountain, but it is also the most dangerous road. The road was originally a very narrow narrow path walked by mountain people, and Tianqiao Village, Qiaoshang Township was the entrance to Maolu. After choosing the parking place, sorting out the equipment, we started the crossing trip. Along the small road, the scenery just after entering the mountain feels ordinary, but the little flowers on the roadside are cute. The good times didn't last long, and I soon came to the real cat road, and then I slowly realized the hardships of the cat road. Looking back at Maolu - the abyss is thrilling and indescribable, and looking at the Tiansheng Bridge - the uncanny workmanship is unparalleled, just like heavenly work.

However, the seal carvings of "Yinggu Gorge" and "Yinlong Valley" on the rock wall in the canyon are a bit majestic. Going forward, there are still steep steps. The ancient steps are steep and irregular, and there are many places where one foot cannot be put down straight. This section of the road is a test of physical strength and endurance. The last step of the cat road is a pass, and after passing this pass, you can see the dignity of Tiansheng Bridge from a distance. Slowly descending along the path, there is a three-way intersection not far away, which is the intersection leading to Goose House Village and Tiansheng Bridge.

Passing through the canyon, along the clearly identifiable path all the way up to the top of the mountain, the wild flowers along the way are everywhere, which is extremely wonderful. Looking around, the terraced fields in the opposite valley are layered and spectacular. Laoyatuo, a village on Nanling, is a primitive village. There are only three households living in Laoyatuo Village. Most of the young people in the village go out. Only the old people silently cultivate the land. Under a rare quiet. I rented a car and headed south. The driver told me that the road ahead was to Wanfo Temple. Wanfo Temple is actually a small, uninhabited wild temple. The temple was built on the top of a lonely hill surrounded by cliffs. The mysterious feeling of bone. The stone sheepfold on the hillside in front can go down the mountain, but it has not been visited yet.

The mountain village under the morning light looks quiet and peaceful, and the houses in the mountain village are still strong after decades of wind and rain. The most memorable is the beautiful picture scroll of Yinggu Gorge that best reflects the majestic scenery of Taihang Mountains. On the way home, we passed Heilongtan, where there is water to add spirituality to the canyon.
