What is Yichang 10 monster?

1. March Peach Blossom: There are three ponds along the river in Guizhou Town, Zigui County, which are called Yatan, Niuwotan and Yintiantan respectively. When the peach blossoms are in full bloom in March every year, a large number of translucent and umbrella-shaped peach blossom fish appear in the pond. They are light and elegant in the water, as if they meet the peach blossoms on the shore. When the flowers fade, the fish will hide, which is necessary. The origin of Peach Blossom Fish, widely circulated among the people, is the story that "Zhao Jun chose his concubine to enter Beijing, sent his tears to the villagers and shed tears in Xiangxi", which further increased the mystery of Peach Blossom Fish. Peach Blossom Fish, whose scientific name is Peach Blossom Jellyfish, was born 550 million years ago and is one of the few freshwater jellyfish. 2. Fish begets the sea: The Chinese sturgeon, known as the living fossil of the Yangtze River, can reach more than 7 meters in length. Go upstream from the East China Sea every year, give birth to the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and then return to the sea, and so on. After the construction of Gezhouba water control project, the migratory passage of Chinese sturgeon was blocked and it was difficult to reach Jinsha River. Therefore, the state established the Chinese sturgeon research institute on an island on the Huangbai River in Xiaoxita, Yichang, for artificial breeding and stocking. Nowadays, the Chinese sturgeon garden expanded by the Institute has become one of the special tourism projects in Yichang, and the Chinese sturgeon contemporary with dinosaurs has also become the symbol of Yichang. Yichang's mascot "Sturgeon" is a Chinese sturgeon. It is not surprising that the life course of ancient species has changed after thousands of years. Isn't it strange that they gave birth to a child on the way back? 3. Grass-roots first course: There is the simplest way to test whether a person is an authentic Yichang person. Serve a plate of "cold salad" and eat it with relish. Those who have tasted it and covered their noses for fear of avoiding it are also non-Yiling people. This kind of grass root, which is more pungent than the fishy smell of fish scales, is called Houttuynia cordata, which grows in the fields. Pharmacopoeia says it has the effect of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and the popular saying in time should be classified as "green food" and "medicated diet". I remember when my father was in Guangdong, his toothache was unbearable. My mother took a small pot of houttuynia cordata and wrote back that she would be fine after eating toothache. Yichang people are very hospitable, but their favorite houttuynia cordata is "extremely exclusive". Isn't that weird? 4. Building a station platform halfway up the mountain: Yichang Railway Station, located halfway up Dongshan Mountain, has been used by local people for a long time. A friend from afar said, "Seeing Yichang Railway Station is a bit like Chongqing Chaotianmen", and it suddenly sounded. Indeed, it takes more than 100 steep steps from Dongshan Avenue to the station, which makes many passengers who race against time want to "fly down the mountain". There is Dongshan Park at the top of the railway station and many tunnels at the foot, which is rare in China. Of course, this "strange scene" caused by historical and geographical reasons is not conducive to Yichang's take-off in the new century. It is said that the municipal government has listed a ten-year plan to build a modern new railway station at the east gate of Yichang. At that time, blame will not blame. 5. Electricity was bought from the outside: speaking of Yichang, friends from other places happily talked about Gezhouba, Three Gorges and Sanyou Cave. When they arrived, they also boasted: "Yichang is good, and electricity is free." In fact, many locals don't even know that Yichang, known as the "hydropower capital", mainly uses electricity from other places through the power grid. At present, China's electricity management practices "separation of power plants from power networks", and power plants generally cannot directly supply power to end users. Therefore, although there are many provincial, national and world-class hydropower stations under construction around Yichang, such as Gezhouba, Geheyan, Gaobazhou, Shuibuya and Three Gorges, it is not possible to "get electricity first near the water tower". In this case, the accusation is justified. 6. The landscape is on the balcony: as the old saying goes, there are three treasures in Yichang-bonsai, oranges and painted pottery. Nowadays, Yichang landscape bonsai has risen with the improvement of people's living standards, and its reputation is abroad. People like to put pots of bonsai on the balcony. Changyang Line of 3 18 National Highway has almost become a "bonsai road", and the mountain people use concentrated landscapes to convey modern information to outsiders. The karst landform and unique environment have created the danger, beauty and wonder of Yichang landscape. The landscape of Yichang is an enlarged bonsai, and the bonsai is a reduced landscape of Yichang. Abundant shrubs and strange stone resources have become a treasure house for making bonsai, and China lobular wood, which grows in the western mountainous area, is even more praised as a sacred product for making bonsai. The convenience of urban life and the beauty of nature are people's pursuits, and they cannot have both. A few pots on the balcony can solve this contradiction. 7. A big bag of three dates: Xuezao, a traditional specialty of Yichang, is a pastry made of flour and covered with a layer of white powdered sugar, the size of a fist. Nowadays, there are countless kinds of snacks and snacks, and snow dates are rare. Twenty years ago, when visiting relatives and friends and carrying a bag of "goddess peak" brand dates, people would boast for several days. Said it was strange and humorous. 8. Exogenous orange navel: Yichang is rich in navel orange, and Zigui navel orange is the treasure of orange, which is big, juicy, sweet and thin. Outsiders are interested in navel oranges that are everted and flamboyant. Some of them are bought as gifts and some are used as ornaments. Looking closely at the navel orange, the bulging figure, the golden red appearance and an upturned navel, with a smile that never closes properly, are obviously another incarnation of Maitreya. It's just that we turn a blind eye and take it for granted 9. Weeping and covering one's head: Tujia people who have lived in the mountains for generations and used the white tiger as their totem have had the custom of crying and covering one's head to get married since ancient times, which seems to be just the opposite of the marriage custom of the Han nationality. Those endless mountains and rivers block not only space, but also endless affection. Once a daughter is married, it is difficult to see her mother for several years in a row. Why not come out of it and cry? Nowadays, with the cascade development of Qingjiang River in Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, tourists are weaving, and Tujia children are also out of the mountains. Except in the depths of a few mountains, it is rare to see the scene of crying marriage. Even if someone obeys the old custom and barely cries, it is still crying in the brow and happy in his heart. 10. Tanziling, located between the main dam of the Three Gorges Dam and the bidirectional five-level ship lock, is 262 meters above sea level, 77 meters higher than the dam. It looks like an upside-down jar. It is said that the altar dedicated to Dayu by the ancestors of the Three Gorges is the only mountain peak in the Three Gorges dam area, with permanent survey marks on it. Its unique geographical location makes it a national "AAAA" scenic spot, the best viewing platform overlooking the dam and a witness to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam. The top of the altar, which is only tens of square meters, receives hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year, and is a must-see attraction for the Three Gorges Tour. The loess altar in the past has become a "golden altar". Of course, the more such "strange things", the better.
