The great man will live forever

Chapter 106 The end of the journey (Come to Shuzhong, the last water)
This time, Liu Han came as far south as the Three Passes, Hengpuguan, Yangshanguan, and Huangxi Pass. They were the three famous passes on the transportation line between Lingnan and Lingbei during the Qin and Han Dynasties, the so-called "Three Lingnan Passes"

The "Three Lingnan Passes" control the three major tributaries of the upper reaches of Qinshui River.Hengpuguan was located at Dayuling (now Nanxiong City, Guangdong Province), to control the flood; Yangshanguan was located at Qitianling (now the junction of Linwu, Guiyang, and Yizhang, Hunan Province), to defend Wushui; Huangxi Pass was located at the junction of Linwu, Guiyang, and Yizhang, Hunan Province. 20 kilometers northwest of Yangshan County, Guangdong, it borders Lian County and the upper reaches of Maoxikou on the Wei River, controlling Huangxi River.

The capital of the South Vietnam Kingdom was located in Panyu (today's Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province), and its territory included most of today's Guangdong and Guangxi, a small part of Fujian, Hainan, Xiangjiang, and parts of northern and central Vietnam.

Liu Han just took a look. The south during the Han Dynasty was really bad, extremely bad. There were many bugs, it was hot and humid, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and many places looked like primeval forests.

In the south during this period, history books record, "In the Jiangnan area, people cultivated water with fire, and the people lived on rice, and fish, hunting, and mountain cutting were their occupation... Food was provided, and they did not worry about being cold or hungry, but they also lost their rich family."

It can be said that the south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty was a barbarian country, far inferior to that of the north.Because its commercial center was in Chang'an, which is now Xi'an and Shaanxi.

The southward shift of the ancient economic center of gravity was divided into three stages.

In the first stage, from the beginning of China to the end of the Western Jin Dynasty for more than 2000 years, the Yellow River Basin has been the birthplace of China and the capital of rulers of various dynasties. The five important cities of Luoyang, Chang'an, Lin'an, Dadu, and Kaifeng are developed during this period.

During this period, the north was the well-deserved economic center. Compared with the north, the southern region was located in a remote area, far away from the political and cultural center, without any resources. The people did not have access to the latest farming technology, so they could only survive. They were poor and Weak.

During this period, the South could only be beaten.

The second stage is from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Starting from the Wuhu Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty collapsed, and nomads from the frontier attacked the Central Plains. Han people living in the north moved their families southward in order to save their lives.

This is the largest southward migration in the history of our country in more than 2000 years. It is precisely because of this southward migration that China's economic center of gravity began to move southward.

At that time, fighting continued in the north and people were displaced.In sharp contrast, the Jiangnan region has fertile land and the people live and work in peace and contentment without any impact from the war. The economy has developed rapidly and can almost talk to the north on an equal footing.

The third stage was the Song Dynasty.It is the last stage of my country's economic center of gravity moving southward, and it also makes the southern economy completely surpass the northern one.

It is true that the Song Dynasty was not good at fighting wars, but it was so great at doing economics that it deserved to be the world's number one GDP.

The fall of the Jin Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty and the humiliation of Jingkang triggered another large-scale southward migration of the Central Plains people. This time the Central Plains people moved to places such as present-day Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, and Guangdong.Most of the Northern Song Dynasty generals, ministers and officials followed Gaozong and moved to Lin'an.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the migration of the Song Dynasty to the south, and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty marked the shift of my country's economic center of gravity to the southeast. China has stably formed an economic pattern in which the southern economy is ahead of the northern one. The most developed Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions in the south have long been the economic center of the country.

Time is really a powerful thing. Liu Han looked at the pristine forest-like appearance in front of him. Who could imagine that after 2000, it would be all high-rise buildings?

The year 2000 was such a distant number. When he stretched out his hand, he seemed to catch something, but he didn't catch anything.

Liu Han then walked eastward and arrived at Kuaiji (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province).

He even came to the Qiantang River to see the so-called spring tide of the Qiantang River, because he went all the way south from the grassland outside the Great Wall and then eastward. It took him half a year to go from spring to autumn, walking as far as the south. It started to get hot and humid, very hot.

He specially waited until mid-August to come to the Qiantang River, which was a good day for tide watching.

Standing in the distance, before the arrival of the tide, it first appeared as a tiny white dot, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a ray of silver, and accompanied by bursts of thunderous sound of the tide, the white line rolled in.

Liu Han was barely given time to react. The surging tide was roaring in. The peak of the tide was several meters high. The back wave caught up with the front wave, one layer after another, like a long white ribbon, with the potential to overwhelm mountains and seas.

The poem says: "As soon as I look at Qiantang, there are endless waves, and suddenly violent waves appear before my eyes; the energy contained in the seemingly ordinary river water is astonishing."

Another saying goes: "In August, the waves came roaring, their heads several feet high and touched the mountains. In a moment, they entered the sea gate, rolling up sand piles like snow piles."

Shu Yuzhu said with a smile: "It is indeed spectacular. I once glanced at the introduction about the spring tide of the Qiantang River. The cause of the spring tide of the Qiantang River is the centrifugal effect of celestial gravity and the rotation of the earth, plus the special topography of the bell mouth of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou Bay. It is a natural wonder in the world. Every year on the eighteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the Qianjiang River has the largest tidal surge, which occurs in the Qiantang River Basin. Due to the tidal force of the moon and the sun, the ocean surface rises and falls periodically. Tidal phenomenon.

The formation of spring tides in the Qianjiang River is caused by factors such as astronomical gravity, ocean tidal waves, upstream flow speed, and the geographical environment of the estuary. However, among the many factors that form the spring tides in the Qianjiang River, the formation of the trumpet-mouth river bed sand sill plays a decisive factor.

This sand sill was not there from the beginning. It was formed when the sediment from the upstream washed here and settled when the river mouth suddenly widened and the flow slowed down.

Because of this sand ridge, the river bed is raised, and a large amount of ocean tides are blocked by the sand ridge when they come in. The waves behind can only push the waves ahead, and pour into the river layer by layer, forming the world-famous Qianjiang tide.

The earliest record of the Qiantang Tide was in the book "Zhuangzi": "The water of the Zhejiang River, the wave house on the Taoshan Mountain, the thunder and thunder, has the potential to swallow up the sky and the fertile sun." '

There is another record in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shihuang" which describes it this way: "Near Zhejiang, the water is rough, it is [-] miles to the west, and we have to cross the narrow road." '

At that time, the habit of watching the tide had not yet been formed. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the great painter Gu Kaizhi left a poem "Guan Tide Ode", praising it for being "close to the north of Zhejiang and magnifying the great flow of the sea." '

It began to shine in the writings of poets of the Tang Dynasty, such as Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi who both wrote poems about the tide of the Qiantang River.

As time passed to the Song Dynasty, the custom of watching tides in Qiantang became even more popular, forming a large-scale tide-watching activity..."

Liu Han did not give her a chance to show off more knowledge and quickly continued: "I know this. Lu Zhishen in Water Margin had a famous insight before his death, 'I have never practiced good deeds in my life, I only like to kill people and set fires.' Suddenly he opened the golden shackles, what a joke. Breaking the jade lock. Hey! The tide came from the Qiantang River, and today you know that I am me.' I especially like the last two sentences. I feel that there is a true meaning in them, and I have forgotten to say them even if I want to distinguish them."

After watching the spring tide, looking at the mountains, lakes, and seas, Liu Han went to Shuzhong again. In his previous life, he was from Shuzhong.

The most representative one in Sichuan is Chengdu. Its name comes from the historical allusion of the Western Zhou Dynasty's capital building: "The king of Zhou stopped from Liangshan to Qishan, and it took one year to build a city and three years to build a city, so it was named Chengdu." It has a history of nearly 4500 years. The history of China can be said to have witnessed everything in China.

The scenery in Sichuan is pretty good, including Jiuzhaigou, Emei Mountain, Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain, Jianmen Pass, Yading Daocheng, Fuyun Ranch, Ruoergai Grassland, Jianmen Shu Road, Dagu Glacier, Xiling Snow Mountain...

Later Li Bai wrote a poem:
It's so dangerous to play with a sigh of relief!
The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky!
Silkworm bushes and fishtails, how confused was the founding of the country!
Erlai is forty-eight thousand years old and does not communicate with Qin Sai.

There is a bird path in Taibai, Xidang, which can cross the top of Emei...

Anyone from China can probably recite a few sentences.

Of course, Liu Han, besides missing him, wants to bring two giant pandas back to Chang'an to raise. They are cubs, not red pandas. The two are different. The cubs of giant pandas are called giant panda cubs. Red pandas are not the same species.

"Cough!"

The iron-eating beast will never be a slave, unless he has food and shelter!

　My hometown is in Sichuan. If you have time, you are welcome to visit Chengdu. It is actually quite good. As the only inland megacity, Chengdu has many interesting places. I have been to some places in the past few years. , Changchun, Beijing, Tianjin, Zhengzhou, Luoyang, Kunming, Jinan...

　　I also want to go to some other places, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Xiamen, Hong Kong, Macau, Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Guangdong, Guangxi...

　　In fact, the chapters I wrote are a bit long-winded. Most of them are historical introduction and popularization. I also feel very helpless. I just wrote them without realizing it. Of course, to be honest with you, there are so many histories. In fact, I don’t understand them. I’m not sure. I looked it up bit by bit. For example, I know that there was a Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, but I don’t know which kingdoms it was. I don’t know which year it happened. I don’t know who they were.I knew that he was put down by Zhou Yafu, but I didn’t know the specific process. After writing this novel, I went to check it out, and I found out after looking carefully...

　　If you don’t like it, you can skip it. It doesn’t matter. If you like it, you can watch it. Anyway, it might be faster and a little more interesting than checking it out yourself.

　　I will try to speed up the pace later, write more interesting stories, love and hate, and show the grace of some historical figures!
　　In fact, I haven't made much money after writing for so long. I probably wrote it out of interest, otherwise I wouldn't update it long ago, so I'll cut it.

　　I have to admit that my level is poor. Take your time and hope that one day you will reach your goal and shout out: "The boat has crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains!"
