Dujiangyan is so awesome that it can be promoted for two thousand years, and it can also be promoted as a water conservancy project for another two thousand years.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Ying Zheng was able to destroy the six kingdoms and achieve great unification and hegemony was due to the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, because it made the Tianfu Plain a real land of abundance.
Zhou Yan also imagined how he would feel when standing near a water conservancy hub with a history of more than 2,000 years, but when he actually stood there, he could only feel a sigh of relief on his face.
Things are the same and people are no longer the same, and the river flows empty.
However, the two of them arrived just in time, catching up with the melting of the glaciers upstream and the rise in the water level of the Minjiang River, and they were able to see the Dujiangyan in action.
"How do you think this ancient man's head grew? After all, I also study water conservancy. Why can't I come up with such a simple and effective solution?"
The tourist next to me sounded like a fellow traveler of Li Bing, the author of Dujiangyan.
Of course, this self-deprecating comment also won the approval of the surrounding tourists.
After touring, checking in, and taking videos, the journey ended. After that, the two of them followed the tour group upstream to Erwang Temple.
Erwang Temple also became Erlang Temple.
Before coming to Dujiangyan, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu checked a lot of information online and found that there are many versions of Erlang Shen.
However, many people prefer to believe that Erlang Shen was Erlang who helped Li Bing, the governor of the Qin Dynasty, to control the flood.
Before "Baolian Lantern" came out and "Life and Hate Water Changdong" was not known to the majority of readers, Erlang Shen's popularity was naturally not very high.
Of course, compared to other scenic spots influenced by film and television literary works, Erlang Temple is already considered good.
After leaving the Erwang Temple, Qin Ruoshu still kept thinking about it: "Husband, is there any difference between the Erlang God here and the Erlang God in "The Romance of the Gods"?"
""The Romance of the Gods" is a novel, and all the characters have certain prototypes," Zhou Yan thought for a while, "If we insist on saying there is any relationship between the two, it should be the Erlang God Yang Jian in "The Romance of the Gods"
, some of the creativity comes from Erlang here..."
When you get to "Guanjiang", you naturally have to visit the ancient town of Guanxian County at the mouth of Guanjiang River, which is highly praised by many locals.
Although the ancient city of Guan County is not very well-known among tourists, the scale of the ancient city is the largest Zhou Yan has ever seen, and it is also one of the larger ancient building complexes left by nature.
The entire ancient city is nearly one kilometer in radius. Zhou Yan and his wife spent most of the day shopping. They finally visited all the attractions, checked in, and took very professional photos. They were all buildings and no people.
Lunch and dinner are still Sichuan cuisine, but the Sichuan cuisine in Dujiangyan is very different from the Sichuan cuisine in Chengdu. Sweet-skinned braised duck, cold chicken, and of course Minjiang fish are less common on the Chengdu menu.
After dinner, the two took a walk along the riverside of the small town.
"If our place is built, it should be similar to here, right?"
"It's almost like a retirement town with beautiful scenery, tranquility and leisure..."
On the morning of the second day after arriving in Dujiangyan, before dawn, the two of them got up early and took a bus directly to Qingcheng Mountain.
After arriving at the place, the two of them had breakfast in a small shop in the mountains, and then began to visit this Taoist business card that had been hacked.
Also located on the border of the Tianfu Plain, Qingcheng's "treatment" is much worse than that of Emei. It is the residence of the Emei sect, has an extraordinary origin, and inherits the legacy of its ancestors.
But in reality, the Buddha's light on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei cannot be destroyed by wild monkeys.
Buddha pursues the afterlife, Tao pursues this life.
Compared with gold-plated and copper-plated temples, Taoist Taoist temples have always adhered to the concept of "harmony between man and nature" when building them. They are set according to the mountain landscape without excessive modifications, and try to make the Taoist temple blend into the surrounding vegetation.
, in the scene composed of mountains.
After walking around for a while, Qin Ruoshu, who was holding a camera and taking pictures, suddenly put down the camera in his hand and looked back at Zhou Yan happily: "Husband, I have a certain understanding of the unity of nature and man.
Well, look at this..."
After gesturing for a while, Qin Ruoshu seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly raised her head: "Old Zhou, otherwise, let's stay here for a few more days, and tell me about the unity of nature and man..."
"Boss, we are here to travel and relax, why..."
Halfway through, Zhou Yan saw that his wife's eyes were filled with expectations, and he could only nod helplessly.
Therefore, Zhou Yan postponed the plan for two days.
In the afternoon, the two of them "placed orders".
However, neither of them had paid an ultimatum, so they could not enjoy the treatment of "hanging orders" and had to spend their own money for food and accommodation.
After all, Zhou Yan had also been on the road to cultivating immortality, and was no stranger to the life in a Taoist temple. Even as soon as he put on his Taoist robes, the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple cast a surprised look.
While Qin Ruoshu was busy collecting materials on "Unity of Heaven and Man", Zhou Yan bought a piece of white cloth, drew Tai Chi Bagua, and wrote "Easy Calculation".
Zhou Yan's air of a worldly master was quite bluffing. By the time Qin Ruoshu found out, Zhou Yan had already paid back all the expenses he had spent on his trip, including air tickets.
"Are you serious?"
Facing Qin Ruoshu's surprised look, Zhou Yan smiled and opened the bag containing the fortune...
"Fortune telling is so profitable, how about..."
"Don't even think about it. In the afternoon, there will be experts with profound cultivation here to answer questions. Let's go and listen together?"
In the afternoon, the two of them joined in the fun and followed the tourists to participate in a "question and answer session".
"Taoist Master, what is Tao?" The question came from a middle-aged man with entrepreneurial temperament. "I have also read the Tao Te Ching. Tao can be Tao but not Tao. It can be famous but not famous. In fact,
It’s too mysterious…”
"Tao can be philosophy or science, it can be a life attitude, a philosophy of life, and a code of conduct." Gao Gong, who is responsible for answering questions, has quite a deep cultivation. "Tao, what it is, depends on what you want to pursue."
What kind of way."
"I would like to ask a presumptuous question, Taoist Master, what does your Tao seek?"
There is no "immortality" or "the end of philosophy" in everyone's impression. Gao Gong's answer is quite "hasty", but if you think about it carefully, it has some profound meaning...
"Live transparently."
After hearing the other party's explanation of "Tao", Zhou Yan frowned, not because of an accident, but because the other party's cultivation level, or realm, was much higher than he imagined.
Even though Zhou Yan has experienced so many "copies" and has so many life experiences, there are only two words he wants, transparency: not to be trapped by problems and not to have obsessions.
The great master then began to answer other people's questions.
Of course, not everyone has such high-level confusions as the first questioner. The confusion of ordinary people is just because of the trivial matters in daily life...
Qin Ruoshu listened for a while and seemed to have some realization. He turned around and asked Zhou Yan in a low voice: "Is the reason why Taoists avoid the world and practice is to avoid these trivial interferences?"
"Yes, and no." Zhou Yan thought for a while, "Avoiding trivial matters is conducive to spiritual practice, but escaping from the world is mainly to calm the mind so that you can gain enlightenment and gain."
After staying in Qingcheng Mountain for three days, Qin Ruoshu reluctantly packed her luggage and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, he looked back at the lush Qingcheng Mountain: "This Qingcheng Mountain has nothing to do with the Qingcheng Sect in "The Swordsman"..."
