Dujiangyan is a place name we often see in history textbooks. The largest water conservancy and irrigation project in human history was built here more than 2,000 years ago. It is also the cultural origin and beginning of the Land of Abundance in Sichuan. , let me share with you the composition of Dujiangyan travel notes.
Many ancient projects are the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors, including Dujiangyan. While we worship it, we should also learn from its scientific planning spirit.
In fact, whether it is ancient Chinese architecture or water conservancy, I think that at the beginning of their construction, they were not only developed to meet human needs. Another point is that the biggest feature of these projects is that they are built according to the trend and nature. It is also the Feng Shui layout emphasized in Taoism.
If modern Chinese architecture could consider these things more, it should be able to leave many solid and practical things to future generations. Just like Dujiangyan, it survived the 521 earthquake. Beijing's Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden City's drainage system concepts far surpass those of modern masters of urban design and architecture.
Because when people design buildings nowadays, most of them see a point. But the ancients saw the entire mountain, the entire city, and even the entire natural world.
1. The one-week training in Dujiangyan is over, and I finally returned to this small plateau city.
After having dinner, taking a shower, washing clothes, and sitting in front of the computer, I couldn't help but open the document and want to write something. I don’t know for what reason or reason, but this sentence came to my mind and typed on the screen: Dujiangyan, like my hometown.
Of course I am not from Dujiangyan, nor am I from Sichuan, but I have such an inexplicable affection for this small town, which is hard to explain.
While I was still thinking about it, I suddenly thought of Su Dongpo’s words: This place of peace of mind is my hometown. This was originally said by Dongpo's good friend Wang Dingguo who was demoted to Lingnan Binzhou after being implicated in the Wutai Poetry Case. The singer Rounu who accompanied him went away. The question he wanted to answer was whether Lingnan should be good.
Dujiangyan, this ancient small city, is only more than an hour’s drive from the center of Chengdu. However, it is the source of the rise of Chengdu and even Sichuan as a whole. It enjoys the reputation of the source of abundance because of its The ancient water conservancy project called Dujiangyan gave Sichuan the reputation of the Land of Abundance, so it also has a nickname called Guan County.
There is too much rain in Dujiangyan in February and October, and it seems there is never enough rain.
When we arrived, it was a cloudy day after the rain, the ground was wet, the sky was overcast with heavy clouds, and the sky was low and heavy.
Fortunately, the rain always starts and stops unconsciously. Most of the time, it is not heavy. You can walk a short distance without an umbrella without getting wet. Too wet.
The ground and trees are covered with moss, either gray green or emerald green. Some of the moss on the trees has sprouted saplings, and some have small flowers.
The Sichuan Water School next to the Dujiangyan Water Conservancy Project is actually called Sichuan Water Conservancy Vocational and Technical College, but people seem to have long been accustomed to its original name.
We are in the Li Bing Continuing Education College, which was newly established this year. Among the students we came with, there was also a Li Bing, and there was another one who had the same pronunciation but different words.
A lawn and a simple school gate isolate the hustle and bustle of the scenic spot from the outside. This is an old campus with a history of more than 60 years. Its main function has probably been transformed into hosting various trainings, and there are not many students here.
Many mottled dormitory buildings have dark red walls with patches of gray exposed on them, but they don’t look shabby, and instead add to the heaviness. Plants that love to climb climb all over the wall, which further demonstrates the tenacity of life.
Thick sycamore trees grow all over the roadside, with vigorous branches spreading sideways and broad leaves stretching out. The sky above our heads is completely blocked, and only a little light can be seen on sunny days. The dappled sunshine and rainy days are just the long-lasting raindrops falling from the leaves.
3. The name Dujiangyan is obviously so famous that without adding a suffix, even I would not know whether I am talking about this water conservancy project or this place.
In fact, with my picky and picky habits, I really don’t like this approach. I always feel that it is best to use these three words to call this project. If I add the four words of water conservancy project, it will be better. The ancient and heavy charm has been reduced a lot.
For Qinghai Lake like this, I still like the name without the word lake, but because of the establishment of the local province, it had to be changed to its current name. For example, some famous time-honored brands are now labeled with the name "Limited Company", which is very unsightly.
This ancient project was built under the leadership of Li Bing, the prefect of Shu County under the rule of Qin during the Warring States Period. It lasted for more than two thousand years and is still functioning. It continues to receive visits from tourists from all over the world and is accepted by the world. The water conservancy people pay homage.
To be honest, even though I am a water conservancy person and I have known its name for a long time and read the text introducing its principles, I still don’t have a deep understanding of it. After listening to this The introduction made me even more confused.
So I had to find some information to continue studying, and finally figured it out. Unfortunately, there are still many errors in many of the videos and articles introduced, which is really a pity.
4. Most of the rivers throughout the ages are curved, and the water surface of the curved rivers is not horizontal.
The curved part of the river, as far as the river bank is concerned, the water flow is affected by centrifugal force, and one side is washed and sunken inward, which is the concave bank;
The other side is due to lack of water flow and sedimentation. And gradually protruding is the convex bank. The straight river channel became more and more curved because of this.
The water flow is also affected by this, and the water surface becomes concave with high banks and low with convex banks. Just like when riding a bicycle to turn, both the car and the person will tilt toward the inside of the curve. The faster the vehicle speeds, the more severe the tilt will be.
While the water flow in the bend flows downstream, the water flow on the surface is still rolling in the direction of both banks, from the convex bank to the concave bank, and underwater from the concave bank to the convex bank. Shore direction, forming a circular current.
As a result, the water flow on the concave bank becomes light and clear, while on the convex bank it becomes heavy and muddy, and sediment continues to accumulate on the convex bank.
In the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, the inner river that diverts water for irrigation at the fish mouth of the upper reaches happens to be on the concave bank. Naturally, it is easy to attract clear water flow. Moreover, the inner river is deep and narrow, and the outer river is wide and shallow, ensuring that the water flow is guaranteed. When there is less water, the inner river can draw enough water; when there is more water, too much water flows down from the wider outer river, and the amount of water diverted from the inner river will not be too much. This is the principle of dividing four and six, and being flat and dry.
Although there is less sediment, there is still sediment in the water drawn from the Neijiang River, and sometimes there is too much water, so there are Feisha Weir and Baopingkou.
That is, the water drawn from the Neijiang River is divided into two streams, and the excess water is discharged from the top of the weir again because the height of the water surface exceeds the Feisha Weir. Compared with Feisha Weir, Baopingkou is still at the end of the concave bank, so that sand can be discharged again. Baopingkou is narrower than the Neijiang River, and coupled with the collision of rocks, the sediment is either discharged from Feisha Weir or in front of the weir. The piles are dug out during the annual dredging. In order to determine the depth of the dredging, stones, horses, irons and other objects are specially buried at the bottom. If they are dug out, it means that the dredging has been done.
5. I seem to be a person who likes to find faults, but I am definitely not picking faults for the sake of finding faults, and there are some important things that still need to be clarified.
For example, regarding the water diversion and sand discharge in Dujiangyan, according to several ratios of 46 to 19, some people say that the introduced water is 60% in dry periods and 40% in wet periods. It is calculated that the amount of sand entering the mouth of the treasure bottle is 5%, and the amount of sand discharged is 95%.
However, it does not take into account that the amount of water and sand is constantly changing at every moment, so how can we have such accurate data. The so-called 46 is just the difference between 40% and 60%. It is just a rough approximation, not 40% and 60% of the numbers.
A person who is good at thinking and distinguishing right from wrong needs to learn the spirit and essence of the forefathers, rather than follow the rigid and rigid steps. If that is the case, no matter how well he learns addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, he will still be in the opposite direction, because The very first foundation is wrong.
6. Dujiangyan is indeed a great water conservancy project, like Zheng Guo Canal, Ling Canal, etc., but Li Bing is greater than Zheng Guo and others.
Because ancient projects such as Zhengguo Canal and Ling Canal are just history, while Dujiangyan is still playing a huge role.
The greatness of Dujiangyan is that Li Bing not only presided over the construction of a great water conservancy project like Zheng Guo and others, which benefited the people at that time, but he also raised the management and maintenance of this project to a very high level. position, forming systems and traditions that continue year after year and from generation to generation, allowing it to play a lasting role and continuously benefit the people downstream.
Two thousand years later, the ancient problem of rebuilding light pipes still exists in water conservancy work. These problems also exist in other industries in the construction field, so Dujiangyan still has huge practical inspiration and educational significance.
Dujiangyan is a great project, and greatness is great. Because of its greatness, so many people have paid attention and attention to it throughout the ages. This is also the reason why so many stone statues of historical celebrities have been built on the Yangong Road in Duishi Park.
Because of its greatness, many Shu rulers throughout the ages have regarded the maintenance of this project as a very important matter. Many matters such as dredging and maintenance have been placed in a very important position. Those who participated in it Farmers and conscripts also felt that this was a great and virtuous thing, so they tried their best to ensure its long-term operation.
7. Perhaps it is because I have participated in various trainings from time to time, but this training is inconspicuous among many kinds of trainings.
As the teacher said self-deprecatingly, the Mandarin spoken by Sichuan people is still different from that of teachers in Beijing and other places. However, we can still learn all aspects of work-related matters in more than a week. There is a lot of knowledge related to personal growth. It is still extremely valuable to listen to different teachers explain this knowledge from different angles and enlighten our thinking.
Compared with the standardized service in the hotel, the food in the school cafeteria is simple and the service is not so standardized, but I suddenly felt the same feeling as when I was in school.
When the cafeteria lady was collecting meal tickets, she even stretched out her hand to stop the students who had not yet handed in their meal tickets. The actions of the uncle who collected the plates and wiped the table were still different from those of the little girls in other places, but they were not. It didn't cause any unpleasant feelings at all.
The urban area is full of delicious food. The steamed stone pot fish in Longtan Bay, the courtyard drinks at the entrance of Yulei Mountain Park, etc. are even more wonderful. The taste, and a few drinks occasionally, make this delicious food even more sublime.
August and October in Dujiangyan are indeed the harvest season, and the fish and river freshness all over the streets are getting fatter.
The oranges have been ripe for a long time and are already very sweet. The occasional hint of sourness stimulates the taste buds even more.
The so-called wild kiwis in Dujiangyan Scenic Area are small in size but so sweet. However, when I wanted to look for them again, many places had disappeared. The tall grapefruit tree at the entrance of Yulei Mountain is full of large grapefruits, but there is still some time before harvesting, and the taste is still a bit sour.
The Dujiangyan behind him was still green on a cloudy day, but as soon as the train left Sichuan and emerged from the dark night, the plateau was full of gold, mixed with some red, purple or green. Color, this is really a harvest season, not only in Dujiangyan, not only on this plateau, but also in many places in this ancient country.
In the past, science and technology were underdeveloped and productivity levels were low. There were many constraints on the construction of a project. People who worked on projects were in awe of nature, so sufficient research and layout were done before project construction. Now the level of science and technology It's getting higher, and all kinds of large-scale machinery and equipment are available, and the speed of project construction is accelerating. If the carrot is too fast and the mud is not washed, it will be much rougher than before.
