Depart from Suzhou at 7 o'clock and arrive in Jixi County, Anhui Province five hours later. After lunch, the bus took us to the crossroads. From then on, I started hiking on the ancient Huihang Road.
It's cloudy and the temperature has dropped a lot. We were still shivering in the cold wind, wearing jackets and windproof pants. But the enthusiasm for climbing remains undiminished.
On the stone tablet at the entrance, I saw a poem given by Wang Guozhen to the ancient road of Huihang:
"Since I chose to go far away, I only care about the hardships."
This sentence also applies to us now!
In the morning, I checked Baidu Encyclopedia in the car, and learned that the Huizhou-Hangzhou Ancient Road, which was built in the Tang Dynasty, is the third famous ancient road in China after the Silk Road and the Tea-Horse Ancient Road.
Huangshan city was called Huizhou in ancient times. Due to the survival defects of narrow space and dense population, Huizhou people are destined to expand their vitality to the outside world. As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huizhou people had already gone to a foreign land and made great efforts in shopping malls. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that "there is no city, no emblem, no street and no political achievements".
Huizhou merchants started from a small business and are particularly hard-working, so most of them choose to travel by boat or on foot. Generations of Huizhou people sold salt, tea and mountain products, and embarked on a road full of wind and frost, and the ancient road of Huizhou and Hangzhou was one of them.
When Hu Xueyan, a big businessman in Qing Dynasty, was young, he took himself into Zhejiang to do business along the ancient road and had a hard time.
When we come here, we can't help sighing when we see the celebrity stories recorded on the wall coming out of the ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou road. The ancient Huizhou-Hangzhou road really carries not only a road, but also a history and a culture.
That period of history, that kind of culture, was recorded and handed down because Huizhou people were brave and brave.
In the drizzle, our group walked on the long stone road. Looking back, once, generations of Huizhou people passed by here, either wandering with dreams or returning to their hometown. How many people's dreams are carried here, and how many people's sweat is spilled here? Now, it seems that we can still feel the temperature and massiness of this history.
Think about us now, and it's the same. In order to survive and develop, many people also left their hometown and relatives to work hard in big cities. Although the traffic has developed by leaps and bounds to Wan Li, we don't have to measure a road with our footsteps, but the spirit of working hard for our dreams requires us to inherit and open up another broader road with our thoughts and actions!
Maple trees in the mountains and plains may be less elegant and more casual and free and easy.
Arrive at the hotel where I stayed tonight-Xiaoyao Donkey.
This mountain is really clean, but it is not generally cold!
Listen to the sound of the stream and sleep, looking forward to tomorrow's trip. . .
