Riding the wind of rebirth

After everyone joked for a while, the godfather and godmother changed the topic to the literary and historical achievements that Zhou Zhi had recently participated in. For example, the godfather talked about "The Inscription on the Buried Crane". The cliff carvings on the Yangtze River that need to be protected are not just those in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

For example, Jiachuan and Manzhou both have large characters carved on the cliffs, and Zhongshan Park was originally the old Jiangfang city of Luzhou.

In addition to Zhongshan, there are other similar old cities such as Baizhai Mountain City, Shenbi City, and Diaoyu City. Together, they constitute the "River Defense" series of mountain cities that formed the Southern Song Dynasty's defense against the southward migration of Mongolia, and are of great research value.

In addition, the local culture and history of Manzhou also have some very commendable aspects.

Historically, this area was the place where the Southwestern Yi people lived. The lower reaches were Jiachuan and the upper reaches were Yizhou, which were more like the "pioneer settlements" of the Han people. Although there were many splendid relics of Han culture in both places, the section in between was a blank area of ​​Han culture.

Su Shi passed by this place when he went out of Sichuan to take the exam and wrote the poem "Rongzhou", which recorded that the Song Dynasty government set up a grass market in this area to exchange materials with ethnic minorities, and the barbarians and Han people lived in peace, eventually starting the scene of ethnic integration and naturalization.

"The ancient county is surrounded by chaotic mountains, and the market brings together many barbarians. There is little ploughing in the spring in Yuling, and the lonely city is quiet at night. In the past, when there was an alarm on the border, the troops left and never returned. They have been pacifying recently, and in recent years they have also been polite. They are quite greedy for Han cloth, but they have not taken off their gold rings. Why bother to argue about strength or weakness? All my people are fair-skinned."

It was also from that time that Luzhou's status in Shuzhong became increasingly important, and it gradually developed into a major port in southern Sichuan.

Because it is an important transportation hub connecting Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, there are many immovable cultural relics left here.

Similarly, the development of Gulin and Xuyong counties in Manzhou is uneven, and they are now listed as nationally impoverished counties. How to get rid of poverty locally is also something that leaders need to consider.

Zhou Zhi felt that the counties in Manzhou were very different from places like Meigu. As long as the road traffic problem was solved, nothing else would be a problem.

However, unlike Jiachuan, Jiachuan now has a leading enterprise and is also an important node for natural gas pipeline transportation in central Shu. At least there will be some inclination on the road.

It is quite difficult to build a road through the Huangjing Old Forest leading to Gulin. Even Manzhou itself is still busy renovating the road and striving to connect the high-grade road to Longchang. For places like Gulin and Xuyong that benefit from the Chengdu-Chongqing Expressway, it is really impossible to consider going there for the time being.

However, as the person in charge of the Three Gorges Fund, Zhou Zhi can still allocate part of the funds for the research and investigation, data compilation, simple protection, publicity and exhibition of the immovable cultural relics above the ground in Manzhou City.

This is also a new project that the Three Gorges Cultural Heritage Protection Fund has recently launched following the success of the Three Gorges Cultural Heritage Protection Project. With the theme of the integration of river civilizations, it follows the route of Bi Ling's entry into Sichuan and investigates the cultural communication belt of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River - Three Gorges - Jinsha River - Minjiang River - Wenshang - Songpan - Qinghai - Helan - Heyuan - Jingwei - Central Plains.

The plan is to produce a large-scale documentary, tentatively named "Blood River".

Manzhou is also a place worth writing about, and the Three Gorges Cultural Heritage Protection Foundation is not without a reason.

"We will definitely cooperate actively when the time comes." The godmother was very happy: "This movie sounds very exciting!"

"It depends on how Sister Chi prepares. I don't know when it will start, but it's always a good idea to allocate some money in advance to prepare. Even if the documentary can't be implemented in the end, the protection of local cultural relics will always be implemented to some extent, which is not a loss!"

"The three-year-old is very naughty." On the garden terrace of Mr. Yu, the old man kept shaking his head as he watched the little pig riding a wooden horse to play the role of a cavalryman.

"Grandma said her place has become a refuge for your orchids." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "I'm afraid they won't survive being pulled out if left here."

"But the more naughty the child is, the smarter he is. That's a good thing."

"The steamed enzyme tea and Xilong Green Tea you sent me in the past two years are both delicious." Old Master Yu said with a smile: "Especially the steamed enzyme tea, which is suitable for large teapots."

"You don't even dare to use the delicate tea utensils, right?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help laughing: "It seems that your grandson has extraordinary destructive power."

Then he took out a rectangular box from his bag and said, "Grandpa, you will definitely like this."

"What?" Old Master Yu took the box and opened it, and was shocked: "This is... Nanhong? No, you are grinding the old beads? We can't waste things like this!"

"How can that be possible?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Master Yu, please take a closer look."

Grandpa Yu took out the bead string. It was a Buddhist style bead string. The three common green pine beads on the Buddha's head had the six-character mantra carved on them. The rest of the beads and the disciple beads were southern red persimmon red. Each bead was thick and full in color, and the color was uniform. It was polished using modern technology. Compared with the ancient beads, it was less restrained, but more shiny and bright, and especially beautiful in the sun.

"Is this...new?" Old Master Yu stroked the beads and looked at them once, then looked at them again: "Yes, it is new. The color is a little yellower than Gannan Red, a little redder than Baoshan Nanhong, and the oiliness is slightly worse than the Nanhong from the two places, but it is bright in color and pure in texture."

Then he used his fingernails to scratch a few beads he randomly selected: "None of them are cracked. This alone is much better than the Baoshan material."

"It still can't be compared with the crack-free Baoshan. After all, Baoshan's foundation is there."

"I think he can defeat Wu Lie Bao Shan by about 70%. Where did you get this thing from, Elbow?"

"Do you believe me when I say good people are rewarded?" Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "In Lianhe Township, where I do my research, there are stones like this on the mountain and by the stream."

Zhou Zhi took out another box: "This necklace is for Xiaoliu sister, this dragon plate is for brother Zhu, and this little Buddha is for Xiaozhuer."

"Huh? Are these all from the same mine?"

Xiao Liujie's necklace was a cherry red tower chain, and the one given to Zhu Dazhang was a grand brand that could be hung on the chest. The plump parts of the flesh were carved into a dragon by the masters, and the rest of the flesh holes that were mixed like flames were carved into clouds. The whole thing looked like a red dragon flying through the red sunset, quite exquisite.

The baby Buddha of the little pig is carved with ice floating material. The whole body of the Buddha is transparent like thin rice soup, and has a gelatinous texture. The only difference is that there is a bright red dot between the eyebrows of the baby Buddha, which is as bright as a cinnabar mole.

"Su Gong is really meticulous." Mr. Yu is a connoisseur of goods, and he especially loves the dragon plaque: "Da Zhang doesn't understand these things either, I'll keep it for him first."

  Ok?

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Is it so natural for a father-in-law to cut off his son-in-law's beard? (End of this chapter)
