? Daoxian county, also known as Daozhou, is known as the valley source of the world, the holy land of Neo-Confucianism, the pottery book of China, and the ancestor of mankind. These are only known from Du Niang, but I don't know about it. I have been a daughter-in-law in Daoxian for more than ten years, and it is the first time to come back during the Qingming Festival.
? Grave-sweeping is called "hanging sweeping" here, which is a relatively important festival. Wanderers who go out will not be afraid of the long journey, and most of them will come back to worship sweeping. At this time, hotels in the county are basically hard to find a bed. We live at my cousin's house. The buildings in the county town are also quite distinctive. Generally, two or three storeys on the facade are owned by one family, so you can rarely see the public staircase. Standing outside, you can also guess the interval between households, and the windows and external walls will be different. It is estimated that people can buy and sell land here a long time ago, at least before the government plans.
The next morning, before dawn, LG received a phone call from her sister-in-law saying that she wanted to hang up and sweep together and asked him to pick it up. Accustomed to getting up early, I couldn't sleep in bed for a long time, so I went together, just in time to feel the morning in the country. The suburb is a vast expanse of flat land, but something is planted sporadically, and you can't see what it is. The sun just got up, and it looks a bit lazy, but the clear air is very comfortable.
It's the first time for me to meet my sister-in-law. She is much older than I expected. She is standing on the side of the road, her back is already hunched, but she is still dressed in spirit. Her skin is basically brown and black, and her eyes are very big. From the look in her eyes, we can see that she is still capable and flexible. When they got on the bus, they talked about their homeliness. She said that her two sons are not bad now, they opened a pig farm, made money, and bought two facade plots somewhere. The old man is happy. She is proud of her children.
? After breakfast, we went to visit the grave. My hometown is not too far from the county seat. It's half an hour's drive. My grandparents' cemetery is about 2 meters up at the foot of the mountain. Obviously, it is a public cemetery. There are many tombs around, large and small. Each tomb is surrounded by red brick cement, leaving only a small mouth at the top. Some plants a pinch of bamboo on the top of the circular tomb, and some plants two pine trees on both sides of the stone tablet. My father recently. We only need to pay homage, and we don't need much cleaning work. Besides paper money, incense sticks, colored flowers, fruits and firecrackers, we also need to bring a rooster and a big goose to sweep the graves here. After the worship, we will sprinkle the blood of the chickens and geese on the tombstones in order to protect peace. (I heard that the local geese sell well, and the old geese over two years cost 3 yuan to 4 yuan each. Every household likes to eat geese, which is a necessary dish for entertaining VIPs.) It is the first time for the children to participate in such activities, and they are very curious and willing to participate. It doesn't matter if they are sweating all over their heads, and it doesn't matter if the incense sticks are smoked to their eyes. They are not afraid of firecrackers splashing on their bodies, and they are fascinated by their ears.
There were many bamboo shoots, Toona sinensis and camellia slices on the way back. Because we didn't bring tools, we just picked some that we could pick and put them in our hands to play with. My daughter was very interested in Toona sinensis and put them in her hands to smell and smell.
? After lunch, a large family, more than a dozen, came to Lehai Reservoir together. I was still wondering along the way what a "sea" reservoir looks like. This is a small reservoir, not an open tourist attraction, but a drinking source water protection area. As we approached it, the sky became bluer and the mountains became more beautiful. I asked the children what color do you think the mountains in the distance are (the terrain of Daoxian County is a bit like a basin, with a small plain in the middle and high mountains on the edge). My son said without hesitation that it was green, while my daughter said it was dark green, blue and black. What can be used to describe it? I said that this might be Daiqing, "from the ridge up."
when we arrived, all of us were dazzled, and the children embraced it in a running posture. The bright sun at noon shone on the sparkling water, and the shape and aura of the mountain, which was pulled up from the ground and so lovely, impressed us. I also followed the children to the water's edge. The water was crystal clear, without any impurities and algae. We haven't drunk raw water for a long time, so we hold it in our hands without scruple, sprinkle it on our cheeks, and then gulp it down. Sitting on the rocks of the dam, watching the children make a hullabaloo about happily, watching the sparkling waves in the breeze, there are no people, no fruit trees or even boats around. Everything is very quiet, as if it were another baptism of the soul. Everything is so small. I only wish I were that pool of water and could bathe in this sweet sunshine forever.
? After that, we went around to the other side of the mountain and came to Yueyan. On the road, large tracts of peach forests and pear forests were blooming brightly. Influenced by to the sky kingdom, we stopped to take pictures with peach blossoms, and the scene of a peach blossom blossoming with thousands of trees was really different. If we say that a peach blossom is embellished and fragrant, then it is shocking to pick flowers from thousands of trees.
? Moon Rock is a huge cave, where many ancient people left messages and lettering. The name of Moon Rock may be related to the shape of the ceiling. After entering from the big "city gate", you look up at the ceiling, which is a crescent moon. As you go deeper, the "moon" becomes more and more round with the slope of the mountain. The mountain is like a cauldron with its bottom uncovered and upside down. The bare stone is on its head, and occasionally a few drops of spring water come with the wind to hit its face, which is cool and refreshing. Passing through the cave to another exit, it feels like standing at the entrance of Xanadu. Large tracts of farmland are arranged in a square way. Sparse houses are leisurely and carefree, reflecting the unique "Flying Mountain" in Guangxi, which is particularly charming under the irradiation of the evening sun.
? There is also a small hole in the cave halfway up the mountain. The hole has turned a 9-degree bend, and it is opaque. It is said that this is Zhou Dunyi's bedroom, which is really warm in winter and cool in summer, quiet and safe, and condescending. It is a good place for enlightenment. Climb to the top of the mountain and stand on the "moon", but I don't think it is the moon. The ceiling of the cave is not so round, but long. The reason why it looks like the moon is entirely due to the vision and the slope of the mountain. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, I have to sigh the magic of nature. Many things can't be explained, just like how many uneven holes under our feet were formed. Are they really the result of water flow or glaciers tens of thousands of years ago?
? The next day, we came to Guizailing, passing through Lianghekou on the way, where there were thousands of acres of rape flowers along the river. When we went there, the flowers turned into flowers, which were not as beautiful as flowers, but still magnificent. Because of the storm, we didn't rent a boat to play along the state, but took a ferry to the other side of the river, ate an ice cream and went to Ghost Mountain.
? On the road, I saw an old woman, who is the worst hunched woman I have seen so far. From behind, I couldn't see her head at all. She took a laundry basket in each hand, put it on the ground on both sides, and walked forward one by one. It looked like a huge crab. Alas, it was a good example, and she didn't become like this in one day. I suggest middle-aged and old friends not to sleep on high pillows. Good habits have an impact on people, just like "a seedling that rises in spring, but grows stronger every day without seeing its gift", while bad habits have an impact on people like "a stone that grinds a knife, but loses every day without seeing its loss".
Ghost Mountain is a mysterious place. I have hardly taken any photos here. The dense stone ghost babies are surrounded by barbed wire and can only watch and worship outside. Their sculptures are rough, and many of them have been washed away by years. From the stone material, they are not like local stones at all. They are whiter, and from a distance, they are more like cement blocks. Walking up along the barbed wire and around the mountain, I found a piece of Grand White Rock, which is less than 2 centimeters outside the barbed wire. Although it has no nicks, I'm sure it is a ghost cub. I instinctively picked it up, touched it in my hand and put it on the ground. Maybe this mountain is everywhere, and it's fate. I believe in the latter more, and I silently pray that it will bless us forever.
? There are several shouting springs in front of the ridge. The louder the shouting, the bigger the bubbles from the bottom of the water. The big bubbles are the size of bowls, one after another. That posture is easy to make people fascinated. Who knows what is underground? Maybe it is a huge palace, maybe it is a huge biogas digester. Maybe,,, no one knows what it is. The mountains in this area are rocky mountains, and it is hard to see them.
? On the third day, in the morning, we chatted with everyone at home and prepared to leave for Changsha after lunch. Every meal in these two days was full of delicious food and brought us many hometown specialties. Thank you very much. In addition to eating geese, Daoxian people also like to eat dog meat. This time, I ate the best dog meat I have ever eaten, but the chef is different. The master is in the folk, hehe.
? At the end of the three-day trip, we set off as expected after lunch. After a circle in the city, we got on the expressway, and the journey went smoothly. After the first service station, we didn't have a rest. It didn't take long to drive. There was a sound like sand hitting from the left door, and there was nothing unusual outside the car. It didn't take long to go on, but the sound came again, and we still ignored it. When it appeared for the third time, we decided to get off and have a look. There was just an emergency. Seeing that my legs are really soft, there is an iron nail on the side of the left rear wheel. The sound is not from the nail, but from a piece of new material stuck on the bottom of the car near the door. I really don't know how and when this nail got up. Fortunately, the speed of wheel air leakage is not fast, so I decided to go to the service station to mend the tire. I was very worried when I walked on the road for 8 yards. After a few minutes, an exit appeared. We found a place to mend the tire, and we got home smoothly without any surprises. Thanks to the gods who protected us all the way. If it weren't for that sound, we wouldn't have gotten off the bus to watch it. If we didn't watch it, it might be difficult to find out how dangerous it is to have a flat tire on the highway. I believe that sound is the reminder of the gods. Thank you. Hide gratitude in your heart and let happiness follow you forever. ......
