Chapter 196 There are many stories about the Yangtze River

The sun is just right, the breeze is not noisy.

Pushing the oars with both hands, Chen Ya slowly rowed the bamboo raft forward, and then under the camera of the drone, he said:
"There are many stories about the Yangtze River, such as "Battle of the Red Cliff", "White Emperor Tuogu", "The Great Retreat of Changyi", "A Million Lions Crossing the Yangtze River" and so on. Flood Control", "Legend of Goddess Peak"..."

There are a lot of blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. If we really talk about it, it may take three days and three nights to finish it. Chen Ya can only laugh and say:
"I believe everyone can find these stories on the Internet, so I won't introduce them in detail."

After speaking, Chen Ya asked again:
"However, I can test everyone. Who are the famous historical figures in the Three Gorges area?"

As soon as this remark came out, the netizens in the live broadcast room became excited instantly!Afterwards, barrages were sent out one after another, and they rushed to answer.

"Heartbeat Firefly: I know! The anchor is in the Three Gorges Reservoir, but it is also in Zigui County, which is Qu Yuan's hometown!"

"Lu Yongyong's: That's right, besides Qu Yuan, there is also Wang Zhaojun, one of the Four Great Beauties in ancient times, and she is also from Zigui."

"The little fist that fell from the sky: Fuck! You have already answered all of them, can I talk about modern celebrities?"

"Graceful will be back: The anchor told the story of these two celebrities, and said that the small bench has been moved."

"Magic Dance Asura: There are also those poets who traveled to the Three Gorges, Brother Ya will also talk about it."

……

Seeing the barrage, Chen Ya nodded and said:
"It seems that everyone knows our country's history and culture very well."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ya briefly explained that this place is indeed the hometown of Qu Yuan, and there is even a town of Qu Yuan nearby, and this famous historical figure is also a poet and statesman of Chu State, and at the same time has a whole body of pride.

At the end of the Warring States period, when the Qin Dynasty was powerful, Qu Yuan of the Chu State advocated the promotion of talents internally, the improvement of laws and regulations, and the idea of ​​uniting Qi against Qin externally.

But also because of this, Qu Yuan was ostracized and slandered by the nobles, and was exiled twice. Until the Qin general Bai Qi attacked Yingdu of Chu State, Qu Yuan could not bear the ruin of his country and his family, so he sank in Mi[mi] Luo River and died for his country. .

It can be said that Qu Yuan was the first great patriotic poet in Chinese history and the founder of Chinese romantic literature. Even now, many people have seen Qu Yuan's portrait.

In my impression, Qu Yuan was dressed in a white robe with long sleeves and a long sword on his waist. He was full of whimsical thoughts, traveling across the Central Plains, asking questions about the sky and the earth.

In addition to building Qu Yuan's ancestral hall, people in later generations also commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and the Dragon Boat Festival.

The netizens in the live broadcast room more or less know these stories, but Chen Ya's telling is to let people look back at history, and besides Qu Yuan, Wang Zhaojun, one of the four beauties, is also full of Patriotic feelings.

That peerless and gorgeous beauty, instead of being a court lady, was willing to marry the Xiongnu on the grassland and die in a foreign land. This kind of marriage made the relationship between Han and Xiong stable for half a century, and the story of Zhaojun going out of the fortress has been passed down through the ages.

This is just the story of two celebrities, but there are also many stories about the Three Gorges.

From ancient times to the present, many famous poets and writers have visited the Three Gorges. They wrote immortal poems and poems, which are passed down to later generations.
Even today, there are many articles extolling the Three Gorges. For example, Yu Qiuyu, a modern writer, once wrote an essay titled "Three Gorges".

Of course, Chen Ya is not a history teacher, nor is he teaching a literature class. These stories are just a little bit, and more folk stories.

The Yangtze River Basin, from the source of the river to the section in Changyi, belongs to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time has a different folklore background from the middle and lower reaches.

For example, Chen Ya looked at the piece of black fish hanging under the umbrella, and said casually:

"Snakefish, also called filial fish, in our country, there are two different versions of the saying, one is that after the death of the elders in the family, the children need to catch a blackfish by themselves, and then put it at home as an offering..."

The first theory is probably that the black fish can let the soul live. When the black fish dies, the souls of the elders will ascend to heaven and protect the descendants at the same time.

It may be a bit feudal, but it is indeed a local folk custom, and the version circulated in Chen Ya's hometown is the second version, to the effect that after the death of an elder, when it is time for burial, it is necessary to catch a black fish and release it.

Netizens in the live broadcast room were amazed to hear that most people now live in cities and pay attention to some entertainment news and gossip every day, but they have never understood these folk customs.

And following Chen Ya's narration, the bamboo raft was slowly moving forward, and unknowingly, time was passing by rapidly.

Two hours later...

The mountain peaks on both sides of the river bank fluctuate from time to time, and the surrounding environment of the Three Gorges Reservoir is a bit like leaf veins, spreading towards the surroundings. Chen Ya needs to determine the direction several times while rowing forward, otherwise he is likely to go astray.

But now, the reeds by the river have become sparse, and at the same time, some buildings and even cement roads can be seen on the shore. It is estimated that it will not take long to leave the scope of the reservoir area.

Boom...boom...boom...

There was a roaring sound on the river ahead, and five or six cargo ships and tugboats appeared in a short while. Some of them piled up a lot of logs and some were containers, apparently ready to be transported to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Chen Ya, who was rowing along the river, glanced at the cargo ships, and then said:

"The Yangtze River is one of the main channels for inland transportation in our country. These merchant ships transport various goods to a ferry in the middle and lower reaches. Of course, they may also sail out of the Yangtze River and enter the East China Sea to be shipped directly to foreign countries."

As he spoke, Chen Ya pointed to one of the largest merchant ships, and continued:

"There is a bright five-star red flag on that merchant ship. If the guess is correct, its destination is probably another country."

Hearing this, the netizens in the live broadcast room nodded one after another. Seeing these merchant ships and the crowds of people on both sides of the strait now clearly means that there must be a ferry ahead.

But in fact, when Chen Ya was hunted down by the waterspout yesterday, he had already passed two ferries, but he didn't have time to check at that time, but now he has the opportunity to take a good look at the environment on both sides of the strait.

After a while, the reeds on the riverside disappeared, replaced by a bay, with dense weeds growing on the ramp, telephone poles on the bank, and even sharp-eyed netizens, suddenly found the river bank, plugged in There are two white bouquets for memorial service.

What is this ghost?

Immediately, someone sent a barrage of inquiries in the live broadcast room. Chen Ya paddled the bamboo raft, and found that there was still an incense stick under the white bouquet, so he couldn't help frowning and said:
"This place should have drowned people."

Drowning?

Many netizens were taken aback. Sure enough, following Chen Ya's progress, they immediately saw a blue warning sign erected on the bank of the water.

When Chen Ya rowed closer, he saw a sign saying:

[Deep water is dangerous, no entry into the water, Meirentuo [to] village committee]
Tuo, refers to the meaning of water bay. Obviously there is a village of Beauty Bay on the shore. It may be because of this place that people have been drowned, so there is a warning sign.

After Chen Ya saw the content above, he was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Meirentuo...it seems that we are going to the Miaohe Ferry soon."

The netizens in the live broadcast room felt a little baffled by the host's strange smile, until Chen Ya said with a smile:

"Although there are many stories about the Yangtze River, there are also many exciting stories on some small boats!"

Inspiring story?
Netizens in the live broadcast room immediately became interested and asked what the story was, but Chen Ya smiled and said:
"Ancient cultural celebrities advocated 'reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles', and liked to visit famous mountains and scenic spots, the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the steep Grand Canyon, and the beautiful natural scenery. From the south to the north, they came here one after another."

"But those historical celebrities, just to appreciate the natural scenery here?"

As he spoke, Chen Ya stared at the sparkling river in front of him, and softly hummed a poem he read yesterday.

"The so-called Iraqis are on the water side."
