Every spring, facing the bright spring, Shili apricot blossom in full swing, showing the charm of Apricot Village in Longshang. People who love flowers come as scheduled, enjoy them to the fullest and are ecstatic. Butterflies and bees swarmed in, busy picking flowers to make honey and urging flowers to smell. From Lanzhou, the provincial capital, Hezhou, the state capital, and other places, I was deeply impressed by the people with apricot flowers wandering in the fields, pointing to spring, and the harmony between spring in Sichuan and spring in Sichuan.

On this day, we came to Tangwangchuan, had lunch in the "Xinghua Village" restaurant in Shagou Town, and acted separately according to the content of collecting wind. A young cadre of the township government who loves literature acts as a guide. I went to the slope of Dachaiping to overlook Tangwangchuan. I saw two mountains, Alachi and Suahi, protruding from the continuous mountains of Dongxiang, like two long arms of a beautiful woman who fell in love with spring, embracing the river with green and green. The Taohe River in Qingling is like a silver jade belt, flowing gently from the beautiful jade wrist. What a beautiful scenery, full of poetry and painting.

At this time, the apricot flowers have already withered, the leaves of the apricot trees are stretched out, and the apricot fruits are full between the green branches and the tender leaves. It seems to be another apricot harvest year. The wheat seedlings in the field are green, the clear water flows in the imperial canal, the warm wind blows people's faces, and the willows are drunk. It's the season of stepping on the beach again. On that peasant path, among the thousands of wicker bushes by the canal and Taohe River, people in twos and threes were walking leisurely in summer clothes, straw hats and umbrellas.

According to the tour guide, historically, Tangwangchuan was the entrance of Nantong Road and Tangfan Road on the ancient Silk Road, and also the delivery place of Ganchuan Trade Road and tea-horse trade. At that time, all the year round, the wind rustled, the horses roared, the infantry and caravans in the mountains came in an endless stream, the camel bells jingled on the road, and the caravans continued. The world-famous ancient wooden boat ferry at Hongjiqiao shuttles businessmen, writers and monks from west to east. Tangwangchuan is an ideal stop on the way. Scholars have written many praises.

There is also the Taohe River channel. Wooden rafts and beef and sheep rafts float freely on the surface of the Taohe River rapids, and the upstream timber, medicinal materials, livestock products, agricultural products and bamboo products are transported to Tangwangchuan for shore, and the transactions are distributed. It is an important commercial port. Commerce, transportation and inn catering are quite active, and it is a prosperous place in the west. It is said that Princess Tang and Princess Jincheng went to Tibet to get married, set out from Chang 'an, Kyoto, returned to Weishui and turned to the bank of Taohe River, and chose a road to stay in the prosperous Tang Wangchuan at that time. Two golden branches and jade leaves praised Tang Wangchuan as a "land of geomantic omen". Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been a traffic artery, and it was still a shortcut from Linxia to Lanzhou, the provincial capital, until the late 1940s.

Yes, Tang Wangchuan is full of gas. It has a long history, splendid culture, many celebrities and beautiful natural scenery. It is a rare land of geomantic omen. It is more than 50 kilometers away from the metropolis Lanzhou in the east and 60 kilometers away from the state capital Hezhou in the west, bordering Lintao County, a famous cultural city in Longshang, and connecting Liujiaxia Hydropower Station, the pearl of the Yellow River, in the north. Highway traffic is smooth, and now it is a tourist attraction to be developed.

There are mountains, beautiful Danxia cliffs and ochre cliffs, like clouds floating on the summit and mist winding around the mountainside. There are towering bull-shaped mountains and bull-shaped caves, Gongbei and Jing Zuo caves in Wolonggang at the mouth of Taohe River, beautiful mosques and Gongbei, Tianzhu Hongta and Hongta Temple in ancient temples that stand out from the crowd, and even Tang Wang-style ancient painted pottery culture, which interprets beautiful legends.

Finally, there is a thrilling ten-mile trip on a sheepskin raft on the Taohe River. Ride a horse, a mule, a donkey, buckle your ears, sing a song "Brother Feet" and enjoy the real feeling of walking around the camel caravan. In Taohe Gudu Station or Shagou Street, you will be warmly received by Tangwangchuan people, witness the handsome men and beautiful women in Xinghua Village, listen to Tang Wangchuan's rap art and taste all kinds of intriguing snacks from ancient times to the present, which will definitely make people linger.
