? The Yellow River turned a beautiful bend here, long and graceful, like a beautiful jade belt surrounding the green mountains, green fields, delicate flowers and tender grass. Like the Yingying in "The Romance of the West Chamber", she walks slowly and affectionately on the small broken platform. Suddenly, is this Jiangnan? Turning around, there were a few big characters written on the big mountain rocks in front of us: "Dahe Wonderland? Fengdu Ruicheng". I couldn't help but smile. I came to Ruicheng to see the Dayu Ferry. Where did Jiangnan come from?
? "Dayu Ferry is located on the bank of the Yellow River, 12 kilometers southeast of Ruicheng County. It has beautiful mountains and green waters and pleasant scenery. It is known as the 'Pearl of the Yellow River' and the 'Southern Country of the North' It’s called.” After reading the introduction in the brochure, it turns out that’s true! The Yellow River, the great mother river, always presents itself to people as majestic, majestic, rolling waves, and turbulent. How can it be so beautiful, gentle, and peaceful as jade? It’s really breathtaking!
? Standing on the high Dayudu viewing platform and looking down: the river is leisurely and leisurely, and the corner is the most open area. There are four or five rivers in the river belt. Small sandbanks are connected together, like beautiful little spoons, just dotted on this long jade belt, making the Yellow River, which is full of yellow, look less monotonous, and more agile and beautiful.
? On both sides of the river bank are stretches of green fields, with dark green and light green interlaced neatly. The closest thing to the right is a tall dense forest, like a small square formation that is neat and ready to go. Further into the distance, the water mist is misty and indistinct, spreading to the sky and connecting with the water clouds. Afterwards, the scenery covered by clouds and mist makes it difficult to see clearly. Hidden behind the cloud screen and mist, only faint reflections are seen. Some of the green shadows are graceful, like the beauties of Xizi who "are always suitable for wearing heavy clothes and light clothes", making people watching the scenery fall in love with them, and the "tsk tsk" praises are endless. If this isn't the "Great River Wonderland", then what is it? I'm afraid the mountain ghost goddess in Qu Yuan's "Nine Songs. Mountain Ghost", who is "brought up by a beetle, looks at it and smiles" is also less ethereal, magical, light and agile than this one.
? On the left side of the river bank, close to the observation deck, the mountain greenery is clearly visible and has an unobstructed view. The hills and ravines are filled with green, and the mountains are like layers of terraces, leading people's eyes to circle upward: one layer of green, another layer of green... like the steps covered with green blankets in a fairy tale castle. , like the rows of keys played by a piano master, like the waves of the Yellow River coming one after another when it is gentle.
? Take a photo to capture the beauty of nature. The closer you zoom in, the green saplings are like little sentinels guarding each other with guns, standing energetically. On top of the layers of "terraces", the winding paths are like silk ribbons fluttering in the wind in the green mountains, playing out a wonderful concerto of Fangirls. Nearby, two or three workers were busy pruning grass and branches among the flowers and green leaves. The wind from the high platform blows over, and the fragrance of the cut grass penetrates the heart and spleen of the person. He takes a long breath, and can't help but open his arms, close his eyes, and enjoy the gift of nature: the breeze and the good smell. The air, green mountains, green fields, red flowers, tender grass, and the Yellow River water flowing eastward are all so beautiful. What else do you want at this moment?
? Revel in the wonderful and magical natural beauty of Dayu Ferry, the wind from the high platform is blowing, and the circulating thoughts are flying... Dayu Ferry is a famous scenic spot in history. Ancient ferry, it is said that Dayu once controlled floods here. In order to express their respect for Dayu, the local people built the King Yu Temple, the largest pilgrimage site for Dayu in the country, and sculpted the largest statue of Dayu in the Yellow River Basin. Here, there is a "dragon head sacred cypress". Its two large clusters of branches extend diagonally towards the west, like a majestic dragon head looking up high. The midday sun shines through the spread branches and leaves of the sacred cypress. The mottled golden light is like the golden scales on a giant dragon, shining with magical colors and light and shadow.
This sacred cypress is more than 4,000 years old. According to legend, it was planted by Dayu in 2100 BC as a sign to observe the water potential. It is also said that he found a good way to control floods under this tree. Floods cannot be blocked only by blocking, but by dredging, so that the floods can be channeled smoothly into the sea. From this, Dayu took a boat to chisel the dragon gate and opened three gates. After 13 years of hard work and "not entering the house three times without entering", he finally succeeded in controlling the flood and established a great cause that will benefit future generations.
? The roaring and flooding Yellow River water in the past is no longer ferocious and ferocious, no longer wanton and manic, but docile, gentle and smooth flowing eastward. The mountains, hills, highlands and plains that were flooded in the past have revealed a new look of fertility: thousands of acres of fertile farmland have been planted with sorghum, wheat and cotton, and the branches are covered with pleasant ears of grain, making people bend with laughter; The trees and green forests began to sprout branches and leaves, receiving the dew from the rain, flourishing and prospering. The common people no longer support the old and the young, lose their children, and are homeless. They dig cave dwellings and build houses, choose good houses to live in, men farm and women weave, have enough food and clothing, and live a happy and peaceful life.
? When Dayu controlled floods, he forgot his own interests and cared about the country and the people; he respected nature and took advantage of the situation; he worked hard and was persevering; he integrated the nationalities and made Jiuzhou one family. This spirit is the source and symbol of our Chinese national spirit. Today's Dayu people in Ruicheng, descendants of the dragons who lived by the water on the Yellow River, and outstanding sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, have inherited Dayu's spirit of water control. In this ancient land of the Yellow River, we will use the new era to The freshly researched pen and ink has written a more magnificent and colorful chapter of nature, and painted a more magnificent and beautiful picture of the green mountains and green waters of the "Northern Country and Jiangnan".
? In the 1970s, the people of Dayudu built a large-scale Yellow River diversion and high-irrigation project here, one of China's top ten achievements. Since ancient times, the people on the Yellow River Plateau have had to rely on the sky to cultivate their fields. If the sky drops nectar and rains abundantly, they will have a bumper harvest, but if the weather is stingy and there is little rain, drought will reduce the harvest. Although they live by the Yellow River, the water can only flow in the valleys, and people are worried on the plains. The common people can only look at the river and sigh. How can the surging Yellow River water reach the plateau? In 1970, under the leadership of the Communist Party, the enterprising people of Ruicheng launched the great Yellow River diversion and high-irrigation project. The unruly Yellow River water was led up to the plateau, sinking thousands of years of sediment and turning into green waves. Ripples, clear water and slight waves. The dry plains of the past have turned into fertile fields. The people on the Yellow River Plateau, who have experienced the rise and fall of the ages and the vicissitudes of the world, finally bloom with joy on their wrinkled faces.
? Walking in the Dayudu Scenic Area, I feel that I have my back to the green mountains and my head to the green water. The purified Yellow River water in front of me has already removed the yellow color all over my body. The sand and green water are leisurely and calm, flowing slowly like a peaceful lake. The willows are leaning on the river bank, the breeze is blowing, and the water is rippled. The soft and low-hanging willow branches are as graceful as the flying swallows of the Han Dynasty, dancing lightly on the green and jade-like water, jumping into the palms of the eyes. dance. Appreciate the stone murals on the guardrails on the river bank, and read the ink of Feilong on the stone bridge in the river, "Standing on the Dayu Ferry? Looking at the width of the Yellow River in the distance? The ancients worked hard to control the water, but today's people are turning the tide", "Drawing the blue waves in the Yellow River? The race for millions of fertile fields" "Jiangnan", "turning harm into benefit", "harmony between man and water"... each word is a pearl, telling the great achievements of the people of Dayudu in regulating and transforming the Yellow River, and also telling the deep love for the Yellow River and singing a long-lasting song. The loess ballad.
? Standing in front of the statue of the Goddess of Dayu crossing the Dinghe River for a long time, looking at her kind smile with the baby in her arms, I felt a kind of tranquility in my heart, overflowing with happiness. The water of the Yellow River is the source of our life. We, the children of the Yellow River, have been forging ahead. We follow the laws of nature, "take water as our teacher", change the face of the Yellow River, enjoy the nourishment of the mother of the Yellow River, and walk the path of green and ecological development. Roads fulfill our Chinese dream of green mountains and green waters on the Loess Plateau. We have always been happy... on this piece of loess land beside the Yellow River...
