I think the most exciting project in the history of China is not the Great Wall, but Dujiangyan. Of course, the Great Wall is also great. No matter how Meng Jiangnv cried and stood far away, this suffering nation actually built a Wan Li barrier between barren hills and deserts with manpower, leaving a kind of pride of human willpower for our living planet. The Great Wall in Badaling area has lost its flavor.
In Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, the vigorous cold wind roared in broken walls, and the faint afterglow merged with the desolate wilderness, which made people feel deeply involved in the great fright of history, time and nation. However, just a few decades before Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of the Great Wall. A great project was completed on the Sichuan Plain.
On the surface, its scale is far less magnificent than the Great Wall, but it is destined to benefit the Millennium steadily. If the Great Wall occupies a vast space, it actually occupies a long time. The social function of the Great Wall has long been abandoned. And it is still delivering clean water to countless people. With it, the Sichuan Plain, which is changeable in drought and flood, becomes a land of abundance whenever a major disaster happens to our nation.
The land of abundance always provides shelter and support calmly. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that it has permanently irrigated the Chinese nation. With it, only Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei have great talents, and only Li Bai, Du Fu and Lu You have brilliant careers in Sichuan. More precisely, with it, China has a relatively stable rear in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Its current is not as abrupt as the Great Wall of Wan Li.
Instead, it penetrates and extends step by step, and the distance extended is not shorter than that of the Great Wall. The civilization of the Great Wall is a rigid sculpture, and its civilization is a life of wisdom. The Great Wall assumes a high-level position waiting for people to repair, but it is humble in a corner, like a country mother who never shows off, asks for nothing, and only knows dedication. As soon as I checked my resume, the Great Wall was just its successor, Dujiangyan.
Before I went to Dujiangyan, I thought it was just a water conservancy project, and it wouldn't have much sightseeing value. Even Gezhouba has seen it. What else can it do? Just to visit Qingcheng Mountain, you have to pass through guanxian, which is nearby. Just take a look. So when I got off at guanxian, my mind was lazy and my steps were scattered. I wandered around the street just to see Qingcheng Mountain. Seven turns and eight turns.
From a simple market to a lush place. My face is getting wetter and wetter, my eyes are getting clearer and clearer, and no one gives me directions, just going to a wetter and clearer place. Suddenly, something abnormal began to appear between heaven and earth, a faint commotion, a sound that was not too loud but must be loud, which filled Zhou. If the earthquake is a precursor, if the tsunami is coming, if the landslide is coming, there is a sense of tension all over.
Nervous and eager to curry favor. I don't know if I left by myself or was sucked by it. Finally, I was suddenly surprised. I stood in front of fulongguan. Before my eyes, the torrent surged and the earth trembled. Even standing on the rocks by the sea, there is no such powerful charm of water as here. Sea water is an elegant gathering, gathering too deep and boundless, making people forget that it is real water and can be held in their hands.
The water here is different, and it's not too much to say, but the stocks are full of energy, competing with the power of flying and the noisy life together. This kind of competition is very good, running and running. When you meet the diversion dike in the middle of the river, you brush the ground and cut it in half, and then go straight out. The two streams hit a solid dam respectively, immediately turned around and changed direction, and then hit another solid dam.
So he adjusted according to the instructions of the dam engineer ... Maybe the water was a little annoyed with his docility and suddenly jumped into the wild and roared, but the more so, the more magnificent his docility was. It has roared to the point where people hold their breath, and not a drop of water has splashed in the wrong direction. Between the gloomy atmosphere, a thousand-year war of containment continues. The water has had enough here and splashed.
It's like a thousand-year war. Just like a large number of marathon runners who have crossed various obstacles, they have paid the most powerful life to the rules, expectations and the public. Watching clouds, fog and sunrise, each has its own scenic spots. Watch the water, don't forget Dujiangyan. All this, first of all, is due to Bing, who is too far away to see. Fortunately for Sichuan, there was an unobtrusive date in 25 1 year BC.
Li Bing was appointed as the commander of Shu County. Since then, the practice of China's Millennium officialdom has been to select a group of scholars with their own opinions as bureaucrats who are not good at anything, while Li Bing became a practical scientist because of his official position. There are obviously two completely different political trends here. In Li Bing's view, the meaning of politics is seeking truth from facts, eliminating disasters, nourishing and nurturing. What it wants to achieve is both concrete and simple.
He got a simple truth that even children can understand: since the biggest problem in Sichuan is drought and flood, the ruler of Sichuan must become a water conservancy scientist. Not long ago, I received a business card from a promising mayor. The title was only printed as "Civil Engineer", and I immediately thought of Li Bing. There is no evidence to prove Li Bing's political talent, but he has been with him.
China also has a clean political plan. He is a county magistrate, holding a long bell and standing by the surging river, completing the prototype of the word "longevity". For thousands of years, the long bell has repeatedly argued with the golden staff, the jade seal and the iron halberd steel hammer. He failed, after all, he won again. He began to map the water system. This atlas can echo today's disarmament data and the route to the moon.
He certainly didn't study water conservancy there. However, he took the mission as the school, practiced hard for several years, and summed up the three-character classic "Deep scouring the beach, low weir" and the eight-character mantra "Cut corners when you meet the bay, and paint your heart when you are right", which is still the standard of water conservancy projects until the 20th century. His knowledge is always dripping, and then the thick classics he didn't know for many years have dried up and are too brittle to read.
He didn't expect that his strategy of water control was soon replaced by the strategy of governing people; He didn't expect that the fertile soil he wanted to irrigate would become a battlefield forever, and most of the rice on the fertile soil would be used as military food. All he knows is that this man must have clean water and rice if he wants not to become extinct. He is both stupid and clever. He is clumsy and clever. He entered the clearest anthropological thinking with the thinking of the old farmer in the field.
He left no information about his life, only a hard dam for people to guess. People come here and wonder again and again: who is this? Died two thousand years ago, but he is still directing the current. Standing in front of Jiang Xin's sentry box, the shouts, exhortations and appeasement of "you go this way, he goes that way" are endless. No one can live this long. Qin Shihuang ordered the construction of the Great Wall, which was magnificent and frightening.
Cruel; His instructions to build a weir and dam are wise, kind and transparent. What kind of starting point will have what kind of continuation. The Great Wall is half brave and half showy, and it has been like this for generations. Today, the Great Wall often becomes ostentation and extravagance. Dujiangyan is clear from the beginning, and therefore, its history always shows extraordinary elegance. Li Bing considered the continuation of his career when he was alive.
He ordered his sons, three stone men, to live in the river and measure the water level. 400 years after Li Bing's death, perhaps three stone figures have been damaged. In the Han dynasty, the water official rebuilt the height and measured the water level with a 3-meter "three-god stone man" One of the "three gods and stone men" is the statue of Li Bing. This Han Dynasty water official must have inherited the great spirit of Li Bing and dared to put his respected ancestors. Put it in the river to measure water.
He understands the mind of ice, and only there is his most suitable position. This design was successfully implemented without opposition. It can only be said that Dujiangyan has shed a unique spiritual world for itself. The stone statue was finally buried by the mud of the years. When unearthed in the 1970s, there was a stone statue with a broken head and a long bell in its hand. Some people say this is Li Bing's son.
Even if not, I still regard him as Li Bing's son. When a modern writer saw the statue, he was heartbroken. "Without mud, he smiled, but his neck was broken." From this, the writer asked the modern officialdom: alive or dead, where should I stand? The unearthed stone statues are now on display at Fulongguan. People silently paid tribute to them in the roaring sound of water.
Here, I suddenly have some optimism about the history of China. As long as Dujiangyan does not collapse, Li Bing's spirit will not dissipate, and Li Bing's son will be propagated from generation to generation. The roaring river is the last words of the most holy and good. Go on and see a cable bridge across the river. The bridge is very high, and the bridge cables are made of hemp rope and bamboo strips. When you cross it, the bridge will swing violently. The more you hesitate to advance and retreat, the greater the swing.
Peeking under the bridge at such a high place will make you lose your mind, but this is a cable bridge, and there are loopholes everywhere, so you can't help looking. At first glance, I was surprised. At the foot of the river, running from such a distant place, a resolute momentum, with a cold wind, rose to the sky, sharp and harsh. I stood so high that I felt its cold skin. I guess it comes from the snow-capped mountains.
However, if you look at the other side of the bridge, it just turns into many shining canals, turning evil into good. How smoothly man tames the forces of nature. If human beings are so frugal in everything, the earth will be different. But human beings always lack self-confidence, advance and retreat, stop and go, constantly consume themselves, and constantly consume for the sake of consumption. In this way, Bing is a little more confident.
It became a god in people's hearts. At the foot of Lei Yu Mountain, not far from the eastern end of the cable bridge, there is an Erwang Temple dedicated to Li Bing and his son. People worship people who are more like themselves. The bells and cymbals chimed, one in the morning and one in the evening, one heavy and one light, accompanied by Jiang Tao's roar. People like Li Bing should find a quiet place to commemorate it. It is also popular to build the Erwang Temple.
People who really benefit the people are upgraded to gods, and God's world will become reasonable, comfortable and amiable. China's religion has a lot of secular flavor, so secular human feelings will also be infected with religious light. In the long run, Dujiangyan has become a bridge pier connecting two worlds. Going to a remote area to see Nuo opera, a lot of content is not interesting. What makes me particularly happy is that Hebo, the water god in Nuo Opera, was replaced by Li Bing from guanxian.
Li Bing, the water god in Nuo Opera, is much more active than Li Bing in Erwang Temple. People danced and shouted around him, praying that countless Dujiangyan would bring good weather and water and soil to the whole country. Nuo opera originally originated from myth. With a Li Bing, the myth came to reality, and the profound spiritual kingdom was suddenly close to the earth and the people.
Extended data:
Appreciate:
Weir is man-made, and man and weir are closely related in spirit. ? In essence, the author's praise of Dujiangyan is in the same strain as Li Bing's spirit, which shows the author's affirmation of simple and practical aesthetic realm and spiritual pursuit. ? Secondly, the article reposes the author's realistic concern. ? Although this article is a travel note about mountains and rivers, the author does not stop at the natural level of "traveling around mountains and waters".
Instead, it extends the perception of mountains and rivers to the excavation of national cultural spirit and the thinking of real social problems. ? For example, the author thinks of the historical figure Li Bing from a unique business card of the mayor, and puts forward a serious proposition "Where to live or die" to modern officials with a pair of wonderful couplets of "Laugh without mud and stand with a long neck".
All these show the author's strong realistic concern and mission consciousness. ? In addition, the article puts forward many wonderful and novel viewpoints. ? Shanhaiguan and Badaling are the first choice for Chinese and foreign tourists to visit the Great Wall, but I don't think so. He believes that "the Great Wall around Badaling has no taste", while the "broken walls" in Gansu and Inner Mongolia feel deeper and richer.
In addition, by comparing the Great Wall with Dujiangyan, the author puts forward philosophical views such as "what kind of starting point will have what kind of continuation", which gives people profound enlightenment.
