Chapter 332 A Beautiful and Dangerous River

Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, helping each other down the road, cuddling each other on the rocks on the river beach, watching the sunset over the long river.

People are most vulnerable and lonely at dusk.

He Huan sat on it, watched them, and turned on the video.Long Teng picked it up, but saw no one, only galloping panting, deep and majestic river water like red ink.

He Huan's gentle explanation came from outside the screen: "The Lancang River originates from the Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai Plateau, and it has the same origin as the Nujiang River and the Jinsha River. They are three sisters.

After the three sisters grew up, they secretly ran out of the house to look for Mr. Ruyi.The three sisters walked all the way between four high mountains and three canyons. This is the great geographical miracle on Blue Star - Three Parallel Rivers! "

The tourists sat in front, looked back at the tour guide, and saw him holding his mobile phone facing the river. Was this talking while filming?
Turning his head away with a smile, he continued to listen to the explanation that could go to National Geographic.

"The Lancang River is the second sister, in the middle. The closest straight-line distance to the elder sister Nu River is 19 kilometers, and the straight-line distance to the younger sister Jinsha River is 66 kilometers.

The three sisters passed through Shangri-La side by side and arrived in Lijiang. Little sister Jinsha crossed the Tiger Leaping Gorge and flowed eastward regardless of the obstruction of Haba and Yulong.This is exactly how sisters grow up and start families of their own.I can't stop it! "

The tourists all laughed.

"After the Lancang River and the Nu River broke up with the younger sister, they continued to go south. The eldest sister and the second sister passed through the Nujiang River and Baoshan. Finally, the eldest sister went abroad from Dehong, and the second sister rushed out from Banna, becoming two international rivers that nourish the Indochina Peninsula.

The course of the Lancang River in Banna is about 158 ​​kilometers.In ancient times, the Dai people called it Nanmi Lanzhang, Nanmi refers to rivers, Lan means millions, Zhang means elephants, Nanmi Lanzhang means a river where millions of elephants breed.

In the past, both sides of the Lancang River were densely forested and sparsely populated, which was the home of Asian elephants. The Dai people along both sides of the river have a tradition of raising elephants and farming.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian on a mission to the Western Regions, and the Dianyue Chengxiang Kingdom he met on the way was the earliest mysterious figure that appeared in Banna in the history of the Central Plains.This shows that the Dai people did go out on elephants in the past. "

The tourists laughed.

"Later, the name Lancang appeared for the first time in the ballad "Lancang Song" of the Han Dynasty. In the song, it is sung: Han Deguang, Kai Bubin. Crossing Bonan, crossing Lanjin. Crossing Lancang, being a man.

This Lancang is the Lancang River.Reluctance means not submitting.This poem means that Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty was mighty and virtuous, and he was accepted by all the people in the world, but the barbarians in the mountains and valleys did not obey the emperor's order.

In order to subjugate the land of high mountains and valleys, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty moved the people from the Han land.

In addition to fighting, migration is the method that rulers of all dynasties are best at using.Because fighting does not necessarily mean convincing, but the subtle influence will be great.

The sum of the 25 ethnic minorities in Yunzhou does not have as many people as the Han nationality. This is the result of the migration of successive dynasties.

The cultural influence on a place is to spread your culture, how to spread the culture?Person to person. "

The tourists laughed.

"At that time, there was no Internet. If you post a post on the Internet, the whole country and even the whole world will know about it. At that time, it was all done step by step. The road to Shu is difficult, and it is not as difficult as the torrent valley in Hengduan Mountain.

At that time, high mountains and great rivers blocked the road, and the road was long and difficult, and there was even no road at all.Very tough!Even later, after Yunzhou became the central territory, it was still a place of exile.

Therefore, they are also forced to migrate.He left his hometown and came to this deep mountain valley to spread the grace of the great man.

These cultural communicators are indeed very educated, so they sang this song and passed it down.On the surface, it seems that he is praising the kindness of the emperor, but in fact he understands everything. "

"I don't understand!" said a tourist, "Explain!"

Other tourists also laughed, "We don't understand either!"

He Huan was speechless, "Traveling is difficult, and singing is due to suffering. Many folk songs and folk songs are created in hard work and difficult environments to relieve physical and mental pressure. This has always been the wisdom of the working people in our country. "

Everyone nodded.

"People from the Han region came to the Lancang River. There was no bridge at that time. The bridge was built in modern times. In the past, boats were used in flat places, and ziplines were used in rough places. Therefore, crossing the Lancang River was difficult and even life-threatening!

Outsiders naturally want to ask, what kind of river is this?How can we get past such a risk?The Dai people say it is called Nan Mi Lanzhang.

The outsider said: Lan what Jiang?The Dai people said: Nan Mi Lanzhang!

oh!Foreigners suddenly realized, Lancang River! "

"Hahaha……"

"So it was transliterated. With the spread of culture, the names Lan, Cang and Jiang gradually formed in later classics."

After talking about the origin of the name of the Lancang River, the setting sun has fallen into the long river, and the sunset glow is rippling in the river.

Everyone looked at the sunset, hugged each other, and had to dub, "Keep talking!"

He Huan looked at them speechlessly, and then watched the video, "After the Lancang River rushed to Publishing House, it entered Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.

One river connects six countries, and finally flows into the South China Sea near Saigon, Vietnam.It has become the longest river in Southeast Asia, also known as the Eastern Danube, the mother river of the six countries.

The second sister went all the way south from the mountains and valleys, from top to bottom, from slender to wide and flat, like a broom, alluvial to form a fertile delta.

The people of the downstream countries depend on rice planting and fishing for a living, and the second sister raised the people of several countries.She is also the border river of Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand, and the capitals of Laos and Myanmar are on the bank.

Her special attributes lead to constant disputes along the river basin.River piracy and smuggling are rampant. The river has brought a lot of wealth and buried many lives. It is a very dangerous river. "

Everyone nodded. There are indeed many mysterious legends about the Mekong River.

"With the joint crackdown and joint control of several countries along the river, illegal activities have decreased a lot.

Seeing that there is peace, some people can't see peace, and accuse my country of over-development of the Lancang River, which has caused ecological changes in the Mekong River. "

Everyone nodded.

"Ah!" said a girl, "I have read this material, which discusses the impact of the construction of hydropower stations on the Lancang River on downstream countries. It is an English reading comprehension question!"

He Huan was stunned for a moment, "Well, it looks like it's just an exam material, but it is actually biased. I don't know how the education department reviews it, especially the English materials, which are mixed with a lot of biased reports from abroad. It’s no wonder that many highly educated people have become public figures.”

The tourists covered their faces, they were all highly educated.

"So you have to read all the information. The Lancang River is a river that originates in our country. The upper reaches are high mountains and deep valleys, and the current is turbulent. It is not suitable for the development of agriculture and fishery.

The high mountains and valleys sandwiched the big river and rushed down, rushing out of the downstream plains, you can grow rice, you can fish, we used to have no technology, and the people in the valley were very poor.Now that we have the technology, why can’t we build several hydropower stations?

Moreover, there are many tributaries of the Mekong River, and the Lancang River only accounts for 18% of the flow of the Mekong River.There are nine estuaries in the Golden Triangle, also known as the Jiulong River.

Of course, during the dry season, half of the Mekong River depends on the flow of the Lancang River!However, the wet and dry seasons are obvious in the whole basin, floods often occur in the wet season, and the downstream plains are flooded.Water levels drop rapidly again during the dry season.

Our hydropower stations store water in the wet season and release water in the dry season, which regulates the amount of water.Moreover, water is a recycling resource. When we generate electricity, the water will not evaporate, and it still has to flow down.

In the dry season, you blame us for intercepting the water upstream. Could it be that if we don’t intercept it during the flood season, the water will not flow into the sea?Can the water in the flood season be automatically distributed to the dry season?
During the dry season, how many times have downstream countries asked us to release water?If we don’t release water, will the sky release water by itself?
So it's not like we build a few hydropower stations and just destroy them.In addition to providing electricity to our country, our hydropower stations also provide electricity to downstream countries.

For example, Jinghong Dam, the largest hydropower station in Jinghong, 70.00% is invested by Thailand, and all electricity is imported into Thailand.This is the only hydropower station in our country. "

"Oh!"

"Climate and ecological issues are global issues, and we really need to pay attention to protection. But some foreign people have double standards, and we can blame everything on our heads. Some public figures in the country also waved their flags.

The ethnic groups living by the river have always been aware of floods and droughts. Farmers and fishermen believe that it is the ghosts of the Mekong River. How simple!Instead, Europeans and Americans from far away began to criticize us.

We are to blame for floods, and we are also to blame for droughts. In short, whether it rains or not, we are all to blame for the abundance of water and the lack of water. "

The tourists laughed.

"You can blame us for not sending electricity to you like the Jinsha Jiangxi-East Electricity Transmission, because that is our mother river! My own home!

It's outside, you want to use our electricity, do you want us to give it away for free?I haven't seen you give us the rice, fish, and fish from the downstream. "

"Hahaha……"

"But fortunately, Jinghong is just a dam, and the rice and fish here are delicious, so eat more."

"Good!" said the tourists, "let's eat more!"

"So you said that the purpose of so many is to make us eat more fish?"

"Yes! I love peace, just to let you have a good meal."

"Hahaha……"

"Little White Dragon is the warmest!"

The sunset gradually faded, and the lights were reflected in the river.

He Huan leaned closer to the microphone and said softly, "Qing is on the Qiantang River, and I am on the Lancang River. It's not the same river, but the same river lantern." He didn't turn the camera to face himself, and hung up. Let Miss Long think on her own.
