Source of Fenhe River

Source of Fenhe River

The source of Fenhe River is located about 1km northwest of Dongzhai Town, Ningwu county. According to the book of mountains and seas, it is said that "the mountain of Guancen is the source of Fenhe River", so later generations believe that this is the source of Fenhe River. There is a pond at the source. On the stone wall of the pond, there are four big characters "Fen yuan Ling marsh". In the stone wall, there is a dragon head. A clear spring comes from the mouth of the dragon and flows all the year round. There is a temple near the source, named leiming temple, which was built in the Ming Dynasty and later destroyed.

The formation of Fenhe River

Fenhe River is the mother river of Shanxi Province, the largest river in Shanxi Province, and the second largest tributary of the Yellow River. It originates from the jellyfish cave at the foot of Guancen mountain, Dongzhai Town, Ningwu county. The surrounding Longyan spring and Zhiguo Qishi tributaries flow through Dongzhai, sanmaying, gongjiazhuang, ermaying, toumaying, huabeitun, Shanzhai, Beitun, Kuai Tongguan, Ninghua, damenkou, Nantun, zifangmiao, chuanhutun and other villages. After leaving Ningwu, it flows through six cities, 34 counties and cities, and joins the Yellow River in Hejin City, The total length is 716 km. The rare 830000 Mu primary secondary forest in North China is the only hometown of the endangered animal brown eared pheasant. It is also a paradise for dozens of rare animals such as black stork, musk deer and leopard.

Life is her gurgling streams, cool canyons, and even alpine grasslands, ancient ice caves, all tempting your hot body and hot heart.

Starting from Ningwu County, driving about 20 kilometers, you can walk through the core area of Baili forest sea in Ningwu, and see the amazing mountain Tianchi - mayinghai, which is an intoxicating blue. Wandering in the forest, I can't help but wonder: the high mountain is a strange peak, the rock is fragile, the temple with copper roof is flying in the air; there are white clouds in the distance, the fog around the peak; the water is flowing around the foot; there are waterfalls in front of me; the vast forest, sheltering the sun and heat, suddenly enters another season.

Grasp the experience of the marvellous cold ice cave. You need to wear a thick coat inside. On the way back, you can also look at the hanging coffin and the hanging temple - hanging coffin is a rare phenomenon in the north. By the way, you can experience a "cliff plank road".

Fenhe Source surrounded by peaks, the kind of pure, the kind of green fragrance, suddenly let me feel small and ethereal. Under the bridge is the water of Fenyuan, which is really natural and has not been decorated by human beings. It's only half meters wide and a few inches deep, but it's very clear and cool. I can't help holding it in my hand and drinking it in one gulp.

Fenhe River, Qinglian River and Lanqi river all originate from this. In front of Fenyuan Pavilion, there is a pool more than ten meters square. The water is very green, which makes people feel cool. They dare not even look at it for fear of being sucked in by the green. The bottom of the pool is decorated with green and light yellow stones, which are like beautiful bonsai. A little bit ago, there was a big pond with several Mu long. The water in the pond was like Jasper and silk. It was the gorgeous West Lake. I'm afraid I'm ashamed of myself at this point. It's as if I have become a fairy tale character in the wizard of Oz when I devote myself to the lakeside. Enjoy almost, set out on foot through the charming lover's Valley, but also in the Malan grassland riding for a long time.

The best way to taste fresh mountain streams: the first walk of Fenghuang street in Ningwu County, including restaurants, food stalls and snack stalls, is worth a try; Dongzhai Town, the center of the tourist area, is a small town with only one long street. On both sides of the street are mostly two-story buildings covered with white tiles, most of which are restaurants and hotels. Ningwu cold noodles, mushroom stewed chicken Enjoy all kinds of local products. Or knock on the door of a villager in the mountain to get a meal, there will be unexpected harvest. The villager in the mountain is very hospitable and simple.

Related introduction

With a total length of 716km, Fenhe River flows through 19 counties and cities in Shanxi Province, with a drainage area of nearly 40000 square kilometers, accounting for one fourth of the total area of the province. It has nurtured 40% of the people of Shanxi Province, and also bred 5000 years of Shanxi civilization. It is the loving and broad mother river in Shanxi people's mind. "Ask where the canal is so clear, for there is a source of fresh water." if we say that there is an endless history of three Jin and five thousand years of civilization flowing in the 716 kilometers of Fenhe River, then the source of Fenhe River we are going to visit today is the source of this splendid civilization. Because of this, the ancient talent issued such a praise: "Bo Yixi pouring thousands of miles, the first victory of the three Jin Dynasty." Fenyuan is so sacred and great, as early as in the book of songs, Huainanzi, Shanhaijing these ancient books have recorded it, and Li Daoyuan's great geographical work "shuijingzhu" in the Northern Wei Dynasty describes the source of Fenshui with beautiful words for us "miscellaneous trees crossing Yin, clouds hanging smoke The beautiful scenery of "water flowing in the pool, water flowing in the lake, water flowing in the lake and water flowing in the lake".

Fenhe River outlet

This Hanbai yulongkou is the outlet of Qianli Fenhe River. From here, Fenhe River began to "pour a thin stream into Qianli", nurturing 5000 years of Shanxi civilization and 20 million Shanxi people. I wonder if you have heard of the "Fenyuan cutoff" incident reported by many domestic media, including reference news, a few years ago. Although it is said that diverting Fenyuan water into Ningwu county to solve the problem of water use is one of the main reasons for the water cut-off, who can deny that the ecological environment deterioration caused by wanton deforestation of forest resources and excessive exploitation of mineral resources is the more direct reason? The forest is a large natural solid reservoir. Cutting down the forest is equivalent to destroying the dam and releasing water. The cost of mining coal is also high. Every ton of coal mining will lose 2.5 tons of underground water. The annual loss of underground water due to coal mining in Shanxi is 1.2 billion cubic meters, which is exactly equivalent to the total water diversion of Wanjiazhai Yellow River Diversion Project in one year. You know, in the 1950s, there were still plenty of water around the source of Fenhe River. Jiuyan spring gushed out from Louzi mountain day and night, known as "jiulonghuiyin". At that time, the wood cut from Guancen mountain could go down to Taiyuan through Fenhe River, known as "WanMu down Fenhe River". In the 1980s, the water yield of Fenyuan could reach 0.4 cubic meters per second. It was a precious wetland called shuicaotan. Now, the mother river of Shanxi people is degenerating step by step to the seasonal river, and the annual runoff of the main stream has been ranked from the second to the seventh among the major tributaries of the Yellow River. "Birds come and go in the mountains, people sing and people cry in the water.". It's time for us to reflect. The mother river has bred us and nurtured us. Five thousand years of hard work and resentment nourish us. However, the unfilial children and grandchildren have wantonly ravaged it and exploited it. Listen to the following story: a few years ago, an old scholar from Taiwan was invited to give lectures in Shanxi. When he entered Shanxi, the first wish of the old man was to have a look at the Fenhe River, the Fenhe River where Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty had sailed across the real estate, and the Fenhe River where "Sufen has been near my home for thousands of years, and he often remembers Huansha in Hengmen.". However, standing on the Bank of Fen River, where the sewage is flowing across the river, the old man is speechless and tearful, and the accompanying Shanxi people are ashamed and speechless. Yes! Mother river has been reduced to the present situation. As descendants, we are really sorry for our ancestors and descendants. It is imperative to protect and manage the mother river. Let the mother river flow with clear water, and let the earth and green mountains of Shanxi always be there. Let every Shanxi people devote themselves to this great cause with a long way to go!

Fenyuan lingmarsh

"Half an acre of fangtang is opened, and the sky is full of light, clouds and shadows." This is about the clearest and most transparent spring in the three Jin Dynasty. It is as quiet as a mirror, so clear that there is not even a fish. Yuan Haowen, the great poet of the Jin Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising: "Guan Cen, Fen yuan, big wheel, Pingquan, eight Zhang glazed basin." The ancients said, "the square is the pool and the round is the marsh". This small pond receives the Fenyuan spring water flowing from the jellyfish cave. It is warm in winter and cool in summer. The water in the marsh can clear the heart and lungs, expel evil and poison, and cure all kinds of diseases. It is called "Fenyuan lingmarsh" by the villagers and is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Ningwu county. On the back wall of lingzao is a four character tablet inscribed by Guo Xinmin in 1995. "Ningwu Fu Zhi" records: "Louzi mountain is one of the peaks of Guancen. There is a temple in the west mountain. From the source of Fen water, there is an ancient stele engraved with the words" Fen source lingmarsh ". The time can not be tested." The ancient monument of "Fenyuan lingmarsh" recorded in this paper has been preserved as a key cultural relic, and the shrine for jellyfish has been replaced by the "Fenyuan Pavilion" built in 1995. "Ask where the canal is so clear, because there is a source of flowing water." Do you want to know why the water in lingmarsh is so clear? Now please join me in Fenyuan pavilion to see the real source of the mother river!
