Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1462 Guling Town

"So we have numbered each ancient tree and made adaptive treatments. We will first cut off the thick roots around the ancient tree to allow it to grow more fibrous roots; then we will disinfect the soil around the ancient tree. Finally These ancient trees, which are rich in fibrous roots, together with environmental planting soil, will be transplanted to the corresponding positions of the new temple and the original temple.”

"There is also the Rhododendron Forest landscape. The Rhododendron Pavilion in the temple is a wooden structure with double eaves supported by twenty-four vermilion columns. The building is grand, simple and vigorous. It is surrounded by a circle of woods, which is called the Rhododendron Forest. It is also necessary to connect the pavilion Bringing the forest to a complete relocation.”

"But it's called a rhododendron forest, but there isn't a single rhododendron at all. It's all pines and cypresses."

"The azalea here does not refer to the azalea, but the cuckoo bird." Zhou Zhi knew what was going on: "In the first year of Yongtai in the Tang Dynasty, Du Fu moved his family eastward to Yunyang, where his lung disease recurred, so he lived in Zhangfei Temple I stayed in the water pavilion for almost a year, during which I wrote a lot of touching poems, one of which is "In Yun'an County in the gorge, the mountains and trees on both sides are in harmony, and they are singing all day long."

"Among the poems handed down by him, there are forty-six poems about cuckoos. Among them, there is another very interesting poem related to this place. It contains: 'There are cuckoos in Dongchuan, but there are no cuckoos in Xichuan. There are no cuckoos in Fu, but there are cuckoos in Yun'an. ' of poetry."

"This forest probably has nothing to do with Zhang Fei, only Du Fu."

Director Wang couldn't help but applaud: "Although I can't recite these two poems, the records in the local chronicles are indeed consistent with Jiuzi's inference. Legend has it that the Dujuan Pavilion is the water pavilion where Du Fu lived, and underneath it is the white jade pavilion. "Tan."

"Yes." Zhou Zhi thought of the scenery outside the door: "There is a waterfall under the White Jade Pond. Can it be restored in the same way?"

Director Cui said: "That place is the top priority and must be relocated as it is."

"why?"

"We have checked the information and found that Archibald Lide, a famous British businessman, once visited here in 1879. He described Zhang Fei Temple in his travel note "A Boat Crossing the Three Gorges": "There is a beautiful path on one side of the temple. Looking up from the stone bridge, you can see a waterfall rushing down a steep narrow valley. This is the most perfect oriental beauty I have ever seen.'"

"Indeed, the Chuanqiao Waterfall under the White Jade Pond is the most unique beauty here." Lin Wanqiu nodded in approval.

"So in the planning and design, the Baiyutan Waterfall outside the mountain gate must also be retained." Director Cui said: "We will manually dig a mountain stream at the new site, fill in the original gully there, and let the mountain water flow into the newly dug mountain stream. , to maintain the original landscape of Huanhou.”

Manager Chen said: "However, the amount of water in the original gully of the new site is not as good as that of the old site, so we will appropriately artificially replenish recycled water to Baiyutan to maintain the landscape."

"Awesome, in this way, the entire landscape has been moved, and it can still remain as it was before." For such a project, Zhou Zhi could only say one word of admiration.

"That's right, we will pay attention to many details." Manager Chen said: "For example, there are only two helmet-shaped buildings like Jieyi Tower in the country, Zhangfei Temple and Yueyang Tower. We have already contacted the cultural preservation office there. Learned the experience of demolition, construction and maintenance.”

"Another example is the wine glasses that are buckled on the tile ridges of the Dujuan Pavilion. This was an initiative made by the craftsmen at that time to prevent the wooden wedges from being corroded. We will also number them one by one and move them to the new location to ensure that each cup will return to its original position."

In addition, there are some tourist areas designed in the plan to expand the tourist capacity. On the back of the new temple, a large number of older cypress trees will be transplanted as background trees to express Zhang Fei's upright and loyal character;

In the eastern area, the main purpose is to restore the original garden landscape in the east area of ​​the temple, and at the same time replant some older trees;

The West District restored the Baiyutan landscape, and designed a large peach garden on the west side of the Wangyun Building at Qiaotou to highlight the theme of Liu, Guan, and Zhang Taoyuan's three sworn brothers.

Due to the large terrain transformation, the front area is also located on the viewing corridor overlooking Zhangfei Temple from the Yangtze River, so it is designed as a lawn, partially decorated with low trees and shrubs, forming a small green square.

The original Zhangfei Temple did not have a dedicated tourist pier. In the planning of the new temple, there is an additional boat dock. In the future, even the largest tourist boats on the Yangtze River can dock directly. These are no longer projects for protection, but for profit and making money.

After listening to the explanation, Zhou Zhi asked Jiang Shuyi, who was taking notes carefully: "Shuyi, this is the true craftsmanship spirit of our country. Now you are no longer worried, right?"

Jiang Shuyi didn't expect that Zhou Zhi would show up like this on such an occasion. She immediately blushed and was so nervous that the hand holding the pen trembled. She lowered her head and softly said "hmm" as an answer. .

However, Zhou Zhi didn't settle well either. When he came out of Wangyun Tower and went down the mountain to the Huangjue Orchid Wooden Corridor, Zhou Zhi, who was at the end of the team, got a strong tug on his arm by Jiang Shuyi.

"Ouch!" Zhou Zhi screamed in pain, causing Zhang Lu in front to turn around and ask, "What's wrong with your elbow?"

"Well, Passepartout, you see this long couplet is so well written that we almost missed it——

When the wind blows thirty miles away, the boat will help the boat to move smoothly, and it will directly compete with nature for power. Kuang Shuqi comes from the east, and it will definitely be able to rejuvenate the Diao Dou article, and the falling flowers will follow the water, leaving behind the swallows.

Tens of thousands of enemies, summoning tigers and men, are naturally loyal to support the Han Dynasty. Looking west from Huiling, one can see the grain and millet in Wu Nian's Forbidden City, hoping that the emperor will care for the cuckoo. "

"The last sentence of the first couplet uses Du Fu's 'flowers on the shore fly to see off guests, and the words of swallows in the rafters keep people', to match Li Shangyin's 'the emperor has a heart to care for the cuckoo', which is really wonderful."

"Well, it's indeed good." Zhang Lu raised the camera used for inspection records: "Then let me take a photo of you in front of this couplet?"

"Keep one." Zhou Zhi smiled and took Jiang Shuyi's arm, asking her to hold hers: "You must keep one."

Jiang Shuyi was angry and funny. Zhou Zhi's "ouch" just now really startled her. She was afraid that he would say something in front of Zhang Lu. Now she was still adjusting to the panic just now, so she had no choice but to blush and let Zhou Zhi do what she wanted. , but he just happened to keep his shy expression in the photo.

After Yunyang, a hundred kilometers further down is Fengjie, the real entrance to the Three Gorges.

However, Fengjie is a major attraction. Since we have our own research ship, there is no need to rush to Fengjie Baidi City to crowd the crowd. Therefore, on this day, the ship sailed to the junction of Yunyang County and Fengjie County. There is a good place to park the ship. ——Gu Lingtuo.

This is also a large town where immigrants relocated. It is located on Dashui Bay at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Changtan. It is also the location of two large dangerous shoals before entering the Three Gorges - Xiaomiaoji and Shibantan.

When the water level rises, almost the entire town will be submerged by the 150-meter line, and the two dangerous shoals will no longer exist. Therefore, Lingtuo will also become a tourist attraction where boating can be done peacefully during the dry season.

Therefore, there are twelve small peaks around Lingtuo, which are said to be the formation used by immortals to stabilize the dragon veins. As long as the golden cave is found to bury the ancestors, the emperor will be born in the descendants.

However, the water level has not risen yet. Even though it is a flood season, the research ship cannot go too far into the Changtan River and can only dock at the small pier in Tuowan.

It is far away from the scenic spots and even the county seat. It is a quiet ancient town. Li Laosan and Lin Wanqiu seem to particularly like to find places like this to experience the local customs.
