Shichuan pear garden is located in the northeast of Lanzhou, Gansu Province. Shichuan town is located about 20 kilometers northeast of Lanzhou. The Yellow River passes through its belly.

Almost every family in Shichuan grows pears for their business and pleasure. Pear trees are planted all over the country. Most of Shichuan pear trees are 300 years old

Above all, the old branches are strong and different in shape. What's more surprising is that most of them are still luxuriant and can blossom and bear fruit. During the stroll, the lush pear tree crown is dependent on each other, and it stretches continuously. Under the shade, the flowing water is murmuring, and the seedlings are green. Occasionally, there are one or two courtyards, with green bricks and red tiles, and wood leaves and stone mills, which are full of ancient flavor. Occasionally, from the depths of the forest came one or two barks, but soon calmed down again. Maybe it's the cold outside the Great Wall. The pear leaves here are extremely thick and shining like metal. A gust of wind seems to have tens of thousands of wind bells ringing. It's crisp and pleasant. Only the most blazing sunlight in the west can cast a fine shadow through the thick leaves. When the wind comes, it feels like the whole ancient town is swaying in the light wave.

When you come to Shichuan in spring, the first thing you can see is the pear blossoms along the river in full bloom in the wind, which inlays two snow-white lace on the ancient Yellow River. The snow billows in the forest, the colorful butterflies flying, and the fragrance of flowers in the mountains and fields. Looking from afar, you can see only pear blossom, but not the ancient town. In the golden autumn, the frost leaves are red and the forest is dyed. The golden pears are hanging all over the branches and are about to fall. Every orchard is full of happy people.

characteristic

Shichuan pear is most famous for its soft pears. It is one of the most popular pears in the severe winter season. Soft pears are fragrant, mellow and sweet. Yu Youren, a KMT veteran, once wrote a poem praising: "in the ice and snow, soft pear is the first wonder in the city of melons and fruits. If you don't take the beauty from the trees, the fragrance will turn into mud. " Until late autumn, in the yellow leaves falling day by day, the ancient town covered by pear trees for more than half a year will gradually emerge. The courtyard is full of golden corn, white garlic braids are hung under the eaves, red pepper strings are hung, the windowsill is full of orange or Indigo pumpkins, and the old man with white hair drives chickens and sheep to steal food with cigarette sticks. Most of the time, they squat quietly on the threshold of their own house, looking at the wild geese flying south in the sky, spitting out cigarette rings, without saying a word for a long time.

After harvest in autumn and collection in winter, gongs and drums will ring in the pear garden. People who have been busy for a year take out their ancestral belongings one after another, sing the drum in the pear garden, and jump to the iron core to entertain themselves. These ancient folk arts, which originated in, developed and developed well, can be called excellent works, will always be vividly displayed in the hands of people in Liyuan. They are vivid, humorous and beautiful.

Under the pear trees, Shichuan is full of pastoral poetry, like a piece of pure land, which will make everyone here full of peace and quiet.

History of Shichuan pear garden

According to records, Shichuan has a long history. In 1495, the governor of Gansu built "shizichuan fort" in the center of Shichuan. The miracle of Shichuan pear tree lies in its longevity for more than 300 years, which is mainly due to the screen of the north and South Mountains and the green peaks, the precious land moistened by the Yellow River water separated by a dike, and the meticulous care of Shichuan people from generation to generation. Shichuan town is only 20 kilometers away from Lanzhou. The Yellow River passes through its belly. It has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is rich in melons and fruits. It is commonly known as "little Jiangnan". Among the unchanging fertile soil left by this land and water, the most amazing one is said to be the largest pear garden in China.

It's surrounded by mountains and rivers. People can know the peace and wealth of people's life from the brick houses with red walls and green tiles and the villages formed naturally. In addition, pear blossom is in full bloom, peach blossom and willow green in pear garden, and Shichuan town in spring is full of the simple, natural and harmonious beauty of "small bridge, flowing water and family". "China's first ancient pear garden" really deserves its reputation.

"Suddenly, like a spring breeze, thousands of pear trees bloom.". From afar, these beautiful angels are as white as snow, as delicate as jade, pure and elegant, beautiful and fragrant, graceful and graceful. They really have the momentum of "occupying the world's whiteness and suppressing the world's flowers". You see, under the warm sunshine, pear blossoms open their smiling faces in the breeze. The snow like white, white hazy, white simple and elegant; lush pear flowers are full of branches, flowers you hold me squeeze, hand in hand as if to go to the market, there are blooming, there are shameful to release, there are flowers like virgins; look at the pear tree leaf green as water, green as oil, let people see relaxed and happy; there are vigorous old branches, aging years, fish like trees Dry tells the vicissitudes of memory, let everyone come to appreciate the spring people feel the great power of nature. The roots of some old pear trees have become hollow, but on the new branches at the top of the crown, there are still clusters of snow-white pear flowers. This may be the magic of Shichuan pear garden. I remember that the ancients once made a comparison between snow and plum blossom, "plum beard is three times as white as snow, but snow loses plum fragrance.". Living in a pear garden of ten thousand mu, I feel that comparing pear blossom with snow and plum, pear blossom is not inferior to snow and plum. No wonder Li Yu, a writer of the Qing Dynasty, said: "snow is the snow in the sky, while pear blossom is the snow in the world. The less snow is, the more fragrant it is, and pear blossom is good at its beauty." Wang Chuanming, a contemporary poet, wrote a poem after touring Shichuan, praising "Xiaoli River, looking west, green clouds and water.". Back to the past, we can reach Lai Xinliang. In the late spring, the flowers pile up with snow, and in the deep autumn, the fruits are fragrant. Longyuan beautiful land, half in Shichuan township

Pear cultivation in Shichuan originated from the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. The oldest trees in the garden are more than 300 years old, and there are thousands of ancient pear trees more than 100 years old. Although the ancient qiuqu, after vicissitudes, but still lush, Baimei QIANJIAO. Generally speaking, the life span of pear trees is decades, but Shichuan pear garden is a miracle and a mystery. Perhaps, among the flowers, pear flower is small in shape and pigmented, which is not as luxurious as peony and elegant as plum blossom, but there are still many poems chanting pear flower in ancient and modern times. "Cold and gorgeous all deceive the snow, the aftertaste of fragrance suddenly enters the clothes", "most like a widow and young woman, white makeup plain SLEEVE BLUE gauze skirt", "bright and clean as the cage moon, fragrant and cold not chasing the wind. Peach blossoms shine on the ground, and are finally laughed at by the demon red. Always to the wind and dust Mo dye, gently cage moon leaning on the wall East " Yes, in my eyes, the pear flower of Shichuan is the charming woman of Longyuan. With her spotless whiteness and nobility, history has remembered her beauty, and today's viewers are proud of her.

Shichuan pear garden is really big. People here prefer to plant pear trees. Every family takes this as their career and enjoys it. Now it has become an important source of income for many people to get well-off. In the valley, on the beach, in front of and behind the house, there are luxuriant pear trees everywhere. In Shichuan pear, ruan'er pear is the most fragrant, mellow and sweet. Yu Youren once wrote a poem praising: "in the ice and snow, soft pear is the first wonder in the city of melons and fruits. If you don't take the beauty from the trees, the fragrance will turn into mud. "

Under the pear trees, Shichuan is full of pastoral poetry, like a piece of pure land, which will make everyone here full of peace and quiet. "With fireworks in your eyes, you can enjoy the spring scenery all the way to the mountains." In the beautiful season of spring pear garden, with a strong aftertaste, I also wrote a poem: "spring pear garden is full of love, full of silver flowers looking for the soul of poetry; after three rounds of wine, singing and laughing, we meet again in spring."
