Located on the north bank of Badong County. Originated in the south slope of the main peak of Shennongjia. It is 60 kilometers long and runs through the mountains from north to south in a vein, breaking the wall at the mouth of Xiqiaokou and pouring into the Yangtze River. To the north is the mysterious Shennongjia National Nature Reserve. Now, 20 kilometers of drifting routes have been opened, covering an area of 57.5 square kilometers. Two Tujia villages divide a 20-kilometer-deep canyon into three parts: Mianzhu, Parrot and Longchuan River. Mianzhu Gorge is a steep canyon in the stream, with a 4-kilometer waterway drop of 24 meters, more than 30 beaches on both sides, peaks and rocks, and caves all over. Parrot Gorge is 7.5 kilometers long, with winding mountains on both sides, green streams, flowers and birds, full of wild interest, and Longchuan Gorge, known as "Xiu", is known as "Xiong", with a length of 5.7 kilometers, lush and deep, and cliffs on both sides are like axes. The passage is heavy and brave, and several rock coffins can be seen in the valley. Two Tujia villages show tourists a primitive, simple and magical picture of folk customs.
Appreciation of ancient poetry: Tang Du Fu, Xiao Xi Creek.
A long snake ran out of the water and hugged Jiangcun in Yeya.
One leaf orchid boat dragon cave house, several huts and savages.
Winter is pure green pine and fir trees, and spring is peach hearts and plums.
Violets at the foot of the mountain are always covered with white clouds.
Xiqiao Creek, located on the north bank of Badong, Hubei Province, is now called Shennong Creek, which is a newly developed international tourism hotspot. Dozens of kilometers of Qingxi flows between valleys and deep valleys, with unique scenery, which is both majestic and steep, giving tourists a magical and dreamy feeling. Many tourists often compare it with the Three Gorges. Recently, many people came here to visit and write poems. Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as the first person to praise this landscape.
Du Fu's Xiqiao Creek describes the wonders of Shennong Creek, shows readers the charming scenery and interest of Shennong Creek, and embodies the poet's profound artistic foundation. The first line of the poem, "Long snakes rush to the water, wild teeth embrace the river village", closely follows the scenic spot, and gives people a vivid charm in the form of long snakes winding around streams. The word "embrace" vividly outlines the stream landscape surrounded by mountains by anthropomorphic methods, which is extraordinary. For example, in the description of the stream, the mountains are winding and uneven, so the stream is serpentine. Next, there are two sentences in the couplet: "A orchid boat, a dragon cave house, several huts, savage". The poet was swinging a flower boat with a leaf orchid on the water, looking at the scenery on both sides of the boat. "Lanzhou" generally refers to a ship made of magnolia wood. In ancient poetry, "Lanzhou" is considered as a good name for a ship.
The "Longdong Mansion" is a "landscape wonder", which refers to the Longchang Cave Gorge in today's stream. This is a fairyland in the water. The scenery here is full of poetry. A few huts points out the simple living environment of the mountain people in the mountains on both sides of the stream. "Savage" here means "Shan Ye" and "Far away". There are spring mountains and green waters here, and there are also living free people living in them. When the poem is written here, the scenery and customs are integrated, and the reader seems to see such a wonderful and moving picture: exquisite blue boats swaying on a clear stream, and the forests on both sides are covered with lush trees; The farmhouse made of fragrant grass is filled with smoke, and the mountain people under the bamboo forest are happy. What a quiet and elegant smell. The beauty of Shenlong Creek is both the beauty of scenery and the beauty of love. In the poem "Pure pine and fir in winter and plum in spring", it is said that the four seasons on both sides of the stream are pleasant and the scenery is beautiful and unique. "Winter" and "Spring" here refer to the four seasons. Because of the great changes in natural scenery, this "winter" pine forest and fir tree are evergreen all the year round, but they are full of vitality in severe winter; In spring, peaches and plums compete for spring, and peaches and plums compete for beauty, each showing its beauty and infinite vitality. At the end of the couplet, it reads: "The land of violets at the foot of the mountain is always covered with white clouds." Here, the poet is not satisfied with the appearance of landscape and customs, but extends his brushwork directly to the looming "Qinglian former site" surrounded by white clouds below the mountain. "Violet" is difficult to test now, or it can refer to a place name. But according to legend, the poet Li Bai once traveled here, and Li Bai named himself "Qinglian layman", which means Li Bai. As you can imagine, if the place that the poet Li Bai once traveled looms in the white clouds, it will add more charming wildness and poetry to this scenic landscape. How charming and charming it would be!
The whole poem begins with "water" and ends with "cloud". The scenery in the pen can be described as water and sky, and the scenery is infinite. Although Shennongxi is magnificent and steep, the poet's focus is more on showing the beautiful scenery of the scenic spot. The poet fully felt the beauty and elegance of the natural scenery and folk customs of Shennong River. The whole poem not only shows the poet's superhuman aesthetic accomplishment, but also conforms to people's literary skills.
This freehand brushwork is really pleasing to the eye.
Beauty is infinite. After reading Mr. Du Lao's poems, we won't think: friends, please come to Shennongxi and discover the beauty that the poet has not yet discovered! (Sun Guangyao Liu Yue)
[Modern Prose] You don't have to walk, ride a horse or take a bus. You can stay in a natural, quaint, wild and exotic tourist corridor, enjoy the infinite fun of fighting with nature and appreciate the folk customs of Tujia village. This is our drifting destination-Shennongxi.
Shennongxi International Tourism Scenic Area is located at the southern foot of Shennongjia, a famous nature reserve in China, in the canyon in the north of Badong County. With a total length of 60 kilometers, it receives 17 streams along the way, crosses mountains and streams all the way, breaks the wall at Xiqiaokou on the east side of Wuxiakou, and flows into the Yangtze River.
We sat on the local "pea horn" wooden boat, and the boatman escorted us to float from top to bottom. The tour guide's wonderful explanation brought us into a dangerous, beautiful and heroic world. On both sides of Mianzhu Gorge, there are mountains and peaks, beach to beach, and bay to bay. Ling Bo, a wooden boat with "Pea Horn", is chasing waves, like an arrow leaving the string, which brings us into the artistic conception of "the green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite". The ladies in the same trade could not help but exclaim, but the tour guide said cheerfully, "With skilled boatmen, there is no danger!"
Before long, the small wooden boat slowed down, slowly flowed on the stream, and came to the deep pool of "Higashi Shimizu Stream". Birds are singing and flowers are fragrant on both sides, and mountains are winding, full of green. Sailing in the quiet pool, we carefully thought about the Ba people hanging coffins on the cliff and watched the stream become attractive. Suddenly, three springs of different colors appeared on the blue stream, forming three long ribbons floating on the stream, following the boat for a long time, which made us exclaim in unison.
The fragrance is refreshing, the tune is introduced into the eardrum, and a red pavilion greets us. The tour guide told us that this is Shennongxi restaurant. This building is antique, with cornices and carved columns, but equipped with modern facilities such as solar water heaters, which truly integrates national characteristics with modern atmosphere. Here, we tasted delicious Tujia oil tea soup, drank selenium-enriched mineral water to prevent cancer, tasted local specialties such as "Gexianmi" and "Twist Fish", watched colorful dramas that Tujia people also yearned for, danced harmonious and interesting hand dances, and bought tourism products such as Xilankapu and Tujia flower baskets ... until the next group of tourists came to the restaurant, we left step by step.
Shennongxi, an original ecological landscape corridor, is a magical river created by heaven.
Shennongxi, with authentic Tujia flavor and strong local sentiment.
(Chen Zongxi, Wang Feng)
[Folk Literature] Why is this continuous flow called Shennongxi?
According to legend, Shennong lives in Shennongjia, not far from the north bank of Wuxia in the Yangtze River. His wife is very virtuous and has a good relationship with local people. They have children in this area and develop agriculture in Lin Sang; Teach people the skills of life. After the death of Shennong, he became immortal and ascended to heaven in this area. His wife lingered in the world, but she didn't become an immortal. Finally, she turned into a spring, rushing from north to south, and merged into the Yangtze River at the entrance of Pakistan and East. This stream was later called Shennong River. (symbol)
