Chen Zhongshi wrote in "Memory of a River": "I stood on the altar of the ancestor of the Huaxu family in Mengjiaya Village, and what came to my mind was Ba, who was only three miles away. River."
"People in Xi'an city also came to join in the fun. Their more sophisticated and even fashionable clothes and dazzling lipstick were among the whirlpool of rural people who generally did not care about decorating themselves. Ups and downs..."
"Huaxu Town is close to the north bank of the Bahe River, and my ancestral village is also close to the south bank of the Bahe River. Across the river, you can hear the crowing of chickens, the barking of dogs, and the loud voices of people fighting and cursing. "Ring..."
"More than fifty years later, on February 2 of the lunar calendar in 2006, I stood at the place where I once pursued the myth of Nuwa when I was a boy, and paid tribute with tens of thousands of villagers. Nuwa was also Fuxi’s mother, Hua Xu. I truly felt that the distant, mysterious and romantic myth of a nation was so close to me. When I was over sixty years old, I bent down for three seconds in front of a stick of purple incense placed on the altar. Bow, at this moment, I took it seriously, I really believed in this myth, and I also recognized the grandmother Huaxu, the ancestor of the nation eight thousand years ago."
? Records of the Emperor. " said that Huaxu's family gave birth to Fuxi, Fuxi gave birth to Shaodian, and Shaodian gave birth to Emperors Yan and Huang. Then our humanistic ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi should be called Huaxu's great-grandmother. The Bahe River, a reverse-flow river originating from the Qinling Mountains between Bailuyuan and Lishan Mountain, first flows into the Weihe River and then into the Yellow River.
The Yellow River is called our mother river. She gave birth to our Chinese civilization, and Huaxu State, a communist society where the Yellow Emperor dreamed of, is today’s Huaxu Town area on the banks of the Bahe River. Twenty miles west from here is China’s first prehistoric site museum: Xi’an Banpo Site. This is a typical and complete living site of the matrilineal clan commune period in the Yellow River Basin. There are already houses and fire pits, fish hooks, harpoons, and weaving mats and cloth. The prehistoric culture we saw in the junior high school history books, the red, gray and black pots, bowls, pots, and urns were painted in monochrome or colorful The fish opened its mouth so vividly in my memory. Perhaps Huaxu is the most outstanding woman in this tribe and an amazing mother.
The sacred Bahe River flows from the Qinling Mountains and merges into the Weihe River from east to west along the channel between Beiling and Bailuyuan. It also flows under the slope of Gongwangling where the Lantian ape man was discovered. This dragon bone, which is called the dragon bone by the locals in Manpo, is taken to the Chinese medicine shop and used as medicine. The local people used the ubiquitous bone meal to stop the bleeding, and then continued to cut grass and wheat.
This thing, called a dragon bone by the locals, was discovered by experts in 1963. This fossil, which has been deposited for more than one million years to form the skull of an ape man, was discovered in Gongwangling, along with fossils of paleontology from the same era. , has horns of more than 70 centimeters long, the tusks of the Nama elephant are more than 20 centimeters, and the diameter is more than ten centimeters thick. It is scary to look at it.
It took more than one million years to evolve from the apes in the Bahe River Basin to Banpo Man! It took more than one million years to get rid of the word "ape" and become able to walk upright and know how to do it. Language, people who are good at thinking, and what a long time and space it is to be different from other animals. The Banpo people, who were already very civilized in a primitive commune less than ten thousand years ago, have evolved into elves in this world, able to create weapons that can destroy the earth, and the ability to eat all living things.
Therefore, the Yellow River is called the mother river. It is the Wei River of prehistoric civilization that has been injecting mother's blood from ancient times to day and night. Because of the Ba River, there are many amazing women here who first dominated the world. Later, the "ancestors of humanities" Emperors Yan and Huang were born.
Bahe River, the cradle of Chinese civilization.
