Inscription: Last week, the Gantang folklore gathering activity organized by the indigenous people, teacher Guo Kungen and the brothers of the Western Han Dynasty was a complete success.

As a fellow traveler, I gained a lot from enjoying the beautiful scenery and delicious food. The delicacies ordered by Brother Kun satisfied my craving, and the wonders of Yanmenkou were a feast for my eyes. I would like to share it with you in the following words.

Go north along the river through Saitian Street, and then go left to Shanchong to Longjichong.

There is a river here called Longji River that is rich in water resources all year round. The source of Longji River, "Yanmenkou", is one of the key points of our collection trip.

After climbing Zhupo Mountain in the morning and having lunch, we went straight to the next stop of the folk collecting activity - Yanmenkou.

After passing Saitian Street and walking up the river past Longji Farming Hall, two major buildings came into view: the inverted siphon pipe of the Bei Main Canal of the Nanchong Reservoir and the viaduct used to straighten the Luo-Zhan Railway.

The two buildings hang high above the farmyard and are almost parallel across the farmyard, about 500 meters apart.

It didn't look very majestic from a distance. When our car approached the bottom of the railway bridge, I realized that each bridge pier turned out to be so huge. According to my feeling, it should be more than ten square meters. I thought to myself that the project cost must be expensive.

Especially the construction of the inverted siphon pipeline, using the facilities and technology of the 1970s to build such a huge pipeline, this is the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of many working people.

Such a wonder was once praised by literati and poets in a couplet: One bridge flies to the dragon gathering, and the Luo line hangs high for thousands of miles; two rivers overlap and flow through the fields, and the rivers and canals pour into thousands of hills.

He also said: The two dragons are flying across the sky with their heads held high, walking side by side along the way.

We drove to the end of the road and asked an old man about the specific location of Yanmenkou.

Not long after walking along the river, Yanmenkou appeared in front of us.

At this time, we met Director Zhu Yingguo, who had been waiting for a long time.

At first glance, there are high mountains on both sides here, a typical long and narrow mountain. There are few people nearby, the river is clear and flowing, and the environment is quiet and peaceful.

The further we go, the end of the river is reached.

This is a small pool, with a winding jumping stone lying in the middle of the pool, taking on the important task of connecting the two sides of the pool.

There are some strange rocks of different shapes dormant in the pool. At this moment, literary friends stepped on the rocks from the other side of the river. The beautiful figures were reflected in the clear water against the blue sky and white clouds. They were so harmonious and smart.

I quickly saved this rare beauty in the lens.

Following Director Zhu's explanation, we approached the source of Longji River - the entrance of Yanmen Cave.

This is a deep and mysterious cave with stalactites hanging upside down from the top of the cave. The cave is unusually quiet. The spring water is quiet, calm and calm. The sight of it gives people a sense of tranquility and leisure.

I'm curious where the source of the groundwater comes from.

Director Zhu said that this place is backed by Shandou, and the area of ??Shandou covering dozens of square kilometers is a limestone cave area with exposed rocks. It is a karst terrain and there is no water on the ground, so the rainwater becomes groundwater. The water in Gantang’s famous Forty-Eight Wells

, all emerge from the ground. The water in these large and small wells is constant all year round. In summer, it is crystal clear, cold and sweet, and in winter, it is steaming and warm as spring.

The groundwater drifts through the underground cave to another exit, Yanmen, and then rushes from here to the Longji River to return to nature and benefit mankind.

During the flood season, the gentle spring water in the cave jumps out of the cave entrance to form a white waterfall and jumps into the pool, showing its other side of charm, which is both spectacular and majestic.

Now is the dry season, but the spring water still flows out continuously and will never dry up.

The spring water flows through Longji River to Saitian, Xiaofu and Xinze.

It has nourished generations of hardworking and brave Gantang people.

Listening to the explanation, I saw a harvest scene with thousands of waves of rice blown by the wind.

Yes, the groundwater flowing out of Yanmenkou is indeed a source of happiness.

Looking carefully at the entrance of the cave, the terrain is relatively complex, there are strange rocks by the water, and the stalactites on the roof of the cave have different shapes. I have to sigh at the ghost power of nature. This strange scene made Teacher He Qifeng become very poetic, and he immediately recited a poem:

The magical axe sighs at the rock gate, and a hundred thousand clear waves are swallowed up in one gulp.

Only the feelings have not changed, playing the strings at dawn and dusk for thousands of years.

Gazing at the spring water in the cave, which was as quiet as a mirror, the idea of ????wanting to go deep into the cave to find out what was going on emerged. Involuntarily, our footsteps approached the edge of the water.

The bold brother Kun jumped on the stone in the water, opened his arms and shouted loudly. The deep cave entrance silently embraced a group of literature lovers who came around. In their eyes, the entrance to the rock was another paradise.

The joy was beyond words, and they rushed to take photos with him. The beautiful scenery of Yanmen Gate was seen by millions of people with each beautiful photo.

Some people found another way to the edge of the hole on the side. Not to be outdone, I cautiously approached the hole on the side.

The mouth of this cave is like an open tiger's mouth with intertwined teeth.

Several men had climbed into the "tiger's mouth". As soon as I approached, Brother Kun shouted: "Sister Fen, stand still, don't move." It turned out that he had been capturing the camera.

Turning from the entrance of the cave, I looked at the spring water flowing to the canals on both sides. It was so clear and transparent. I took a sip from the mineral water bottle. It was cool and delicious.

I couldn't help but pack a bottle and take it with me to drink on the road.

Teacher He squatted by the ditch and played with the water, and memories of his childhood came to his mind.
