Longjinxi

Longjinxi

Three Gorges Renjia scenic spot is located in the middle of Xiling Gorge, between the Three Gorges Dam and Gezhouba, which is the only remaining area of the Three Gorges to maintain the original style of the Three Gorges. Longjinxi is a stream on the South Bank of the Yangtze River and in the Three Gorges Renjia scenic area. It is one of the most amorous scenic spots in the Three Gorges Renjia scenic area. The long legged stilted building on the Bank of the stream is half by the mountain and half by the water. On both sides of the stream, there are green mountains and green waters, idyllic fields, small bridges in the setting sun, mist and rain. The bamboo raft lifted the green vines in the waves, and the ancient sailing boat glided slowly in the water. The style is simple and deep, just like a paradise.

brief introduction

On the cliff of Jiangbei, which is opposite to the Dragon stream, a band of stone mountains meanders down from the top of the mountain. When facing the river, it is like a giant dragon. Looking at the direction of the dragon head, it seems that it is about to jump into the Qingxi River and go back to its nest to have a rest. Longjinxi got its name from this. Dragon into the stream, the stream green, sparkling, green trees, lush. The roads crisscross, the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs; the ancient sailboats are still in the water, the stilts are hidden in the bamboo forest, and the water tankers are turning in the water. The mountain people are happy, free and independent, living a primitive and simple life, singing the love songs they want to sing, playing a simple xialiba song, and shouting a loud Xiajiang chant. The dance is still so wild, the dishes are still so authentic, and the enthusiasm of the mountain people is still as strong and mellow as wine.

Scenery

People on water

At the confluence of longjinxi River and Yangtze River, several ancient sailing boats stand up against the wind, small fishing boats spread their nets, and chuxia Pavilion is exquisite and chic. On the side near the river, a dam has been built to intercept the quiet Longxi River, raising the river by 1-2 meters. The river is green and green. The mottled Longxi bridge crosses it, and several small fishing boats are quietly moored under the bridge Spring wave green, once was startled the Hong to shine the shadow ", dreamlike, makes people infatuated. Generations of people living in Xiajiang have formed a unique way of living and working habits with a kind of perseverance of relying on mountains and rivers. The most distinctive one is the fishermen's home. Many Three Gorges people have lived on boats for generations. They make a living by fishing all the year round. They flow on the water, fight with the wind and waves, and accompany with fishing boats, forming "people on the water". Although the life of fishermen has improved, this ancient custom has been preserved for a long time. The younger generation still cast nets to catch fish, and this ancient fishing culture continues.

Xiajiang fishing boat

Xiajiang fishing boat has a unique style. It is not only the "home" of fishermen on the water, but also a unique scenic line of the ancient Three Gorges. It has lasted for thousands of years, just like the black elves active in the Xiajiang Area. Xiajiang fishing boats are shaped like Shaoxing awning boats. The big ones can carry 10 to 20 people, and the small ones can carry 3 to 4 people. The structure is divided into two parts: the lower part is a wooden boat, and the upper part is a bamboo awning. The awning has a number of fans, which is semicircular in shape. It is made of bamboo silk and laminated bamboo sheaths, and the outer surface is coated with soot and tung oil, which is black. Each fan can be moved at will, closed, can block the sun and rain invasion, push open to light and ventilation. In the canopy is the cabin. The larger one can stand upright and have passenger seats. The smaller one can not stand upright, but there is a mat at the bottom of the cabin, which can be used for sitting or lying. Most of the boats are equipped with engines, which makes it very easy to sail. However, longjinxi's fishing boats still keep the old way of rowing. Fishing boat is a great pleasure. Open half of the canopy, the river breeze, cool but come, with dazzle overlooking, the moon landscape, frame frame Danqing, together, dizzying; leaning against the cabin; close your eyes, mind and body with the hull gently shake, floating; lying flat on the deck, the bottom of the water gurgling stream, gurgling sound, such as zither; as for in the cabin around the table, tea, talking and laughing, it is more enjoyable, intoxicated I'm free. "The bridge is like a rainbow, the water is like the air, and a leaf is floating in the misty rain." the ancients eulogized and yearned for fishing boats.

Pull out

Walking along the secluded valley, the bamboo groves and the folk songs answer each other. Before you know it, there will be a kind of poetic feeling of "people walking in the peach garden don't know where to go". The fishing gear in front of us is called Pai, which is the crystallization of Xiajiang people's wisdom. In the past, there were many dangerous beaches and reefs on the Xiajiang river. It was very difficult to cast this big net on the river. The clever Xiajiang people use the leverage principle to put the four corners of the net away, pull and put it away very easily. While rowing, the fishing boat made a slight turn and passed through the simple stone arch bridge.

Qidie spring

Along the path to the depth of the valley, "the winding path leads to the secluded place, and the vegetation is deep by the stream". The vegetation on both sides is lush, with fragrant flowers. The stream is rippling, clear, charming and affectionate. From time to time, the sound of birds seems to cheer the guests coming from afar. Living in a prosperous city for a long time, I was suddenly in the deep mountains and valleys where "the apes on both sides of the Strait can't live", feeling the leisure of "the singing of birds and the quieter mountain", as if I had come to the fairyland of Taoyuan. In front of the valley, several boulders lie in the water, one left and one right, just guarding the valley. On a rock in front of Longmen, there is a small natural fish in the shape of carp, head in the stream, struggling to jump, as if to jump over Longmen and go to the three Gorges people's home, so it is called "carp jumping over Longmen". The stream in front of us flows through the riverbed formed by the whole rock, and the water flows on the hard rock. After a long time, seven small water tanks are formed, like seven joyful notes playing a wonderful movement to us. This is the "seven fold spring". After the "seven fold spring", the river bed in the stream is full of round and smooth pebbles. The pebbles are covered with green grass, and the grass is in full bloom with white flowers, just like the basin garden in the stream. It is wonderful and full of interest.

Riverside family

In the bamboo forest, a row of stilted buildings are built along the stream, which is called "people by the stream". They are surrounded by mountains and rivers, half landing, half into the water. Surrounded by mountains, they are picturesque with green mountains and waters, setting sun grass and trees, mist and rain. Garlic, Baogu, red pepper, coir raincoat and bamboo hat are hanging above the hanging feet. Smoke curls from the roof. Ducks and geese play in the stream in front of the door. The dog downstairs barks as if to say "welcome". On the big stone in front of the Diaojiaolou, several Tujia girls are beating their clothes and singing a warm and lingering love song. The hammers are beating on the stone slab, making a clear sound, as if playing a deep love song.

Huanglong waterfall

At the end of the stream is the famous Huanglong waterfall. It is said that after Dayu controlled the water and opened the gorge, God sent nine dragons to inspect. When he arrived here, Huang Long was attracted by the beautiful scenery of the lower world and turned into a handsome young man, traveling in the mountains and rivers. I met the beautiful eagle girl on the way and fell in love at first sight. The Jade Emperor was so angry that he waved his hand into a ditch and separated the two sides of the canyon. They became Huanglong waterfall and Qinying waterfall respectively. The two waterfalls flow into the longjinxi River and into the Yangtze River. They have never dried up, no matter in drought or flood. Huanglong waterfall and Qinying waterfall are facing each other across the river, one is broad and majestic, the other is gentle and lingering; while the dragon is singing and the tiger is howling, the other is flying and playing Qin language, performing endless Acacia, which seems to call on lovers to get married, so it is also known as "lovers waterfall". Huanglong waterfall is not big, the water is like silver tree root wrapped in the big stone, one by one, wisps, swaying, gently pouring down from the smooth stone. There is a deep pool at the end of the water flow. Standing by the pool, the sound of the water is shaking and the cool air is blowing all around. Give us a pleasant treble at the end of the river.
