When I went out at 2:50pm on July 5, the sky overhead was overcast and gray, with a few drops of cold rain falling from time to time, hitting my body coolly. The breeze was so refreshing that the trees were swaying, and I was also swaying. Riding on the tram, all the way to speed, holding the wind. At three o'clock, opposite the home for the elderly, Li Hong and I arrived as promised. Then go to Chenjiagou, the hometown of Taiji.

Along the Zixia Street to the south, flat and wide asphalt road, six cars on both sides of the motorway, is a green belt about three meters wide. The side of the cypress is full of fragrance, magnolia pavilion. On the outside of the green belt are two wide slow lanes. Bicycling without worry, with the wind, smooth as the windless lake.
Row to the old python river bridge, along the old python river to the east through the early spring garden to the new python river all the way to the east. The new asphalt surface, flat as a stone. The newest addition to the list is a new, more sophisticated, and more affordable option for the newest addition to the newest addition to the newest addition. The river blue water is clear, white, bright. The water reflects the river bank willow, sorghum, corn, small bridge. Willow sorghum corn bridge shadow than the river water deeper, into a mass or a long or short or wide or narrow dark green, swaying in the water with the breeze. The cattails in the water are green and the reed is pale. White, gray, black waterfowl singing happily circling the river. Can not see the frogs, but the wind came gusts of croaking.
I asked: "Li Hong, how is the view?"
"It's so beautiful! I didn't even know that we have such a beautiful view in Wen County before!"
"In the morning before and after the sunrise out of the view will be even more beautiful!" I said.
I often sightsee along the river in the morning. At that time, the birds in the trees were singing loudly, and the frogs in the water were singing loudly. The morning sun puts a golden coat on the earth, and the green river, the green riverbanks, and the green fields are all covered with golden light. Running along the banks, cycling, riding an electric car, driving a tricycle, driving a car, facing the sun, dipped in the sunrise, in the natural oxygen bar, breathing fresh air, listening to the "Guan Ju Ju, in the river of the continent," singing, and enjoy the bushes and grasses luxuriant, reed pale scenery. From time to time to see the field farmers appreciate the music, taking advantage of the cool morning labor in the fields. This idyllic scenery, peanuts, sesame seeds, sweet potatoes, soybeans, corn, sorghum ...... in the strong growth, I seem to hear the sound of sesame blossoms, I seem to hear the sound of corn plucking. I seem to hear the sound of yam vines stretching, I vaguely hear the sound of ground yellow leaves expanding. The orchard is lush and fruitful. The blush of the peach is mouth-watering, the brightness of the apple is enviable, the purple light of the grape is noble and elegant, and the deep, low-key and subtle pomegranate ......
This fertile land of the Yu Bei Plain feeds how many living beings!
Along the river past three beam bridges, two arch bridges, north across the South-North Water Diversion Canal, it will be to Chenjiagou.

Not into the Chenjiagou, far away from the village entrance to see the large machinery parked. The original Chenjiagou is still under construction. Last September to Chenjiagou wind when the engineering team is in full swing construction of streets, facade. Today, I don't know what is being built.
Into the village, not far to the east, south of the road is the ecological park. The fence of the ecological garden has been built. Eco-park opposite the garden, is in full swing construction, looking from the gate, high on the soil ridge, a large tree, full of red colorful flowers. I said to Li Hong, "Look! What kind of flowers are blooming on that tree?"
Li-hong said: "While there is no admission fee, let's go in and take a look!"
The gatekeeper did not stop us, so we rode straight in. It turns out that this is a remodeled attraction in Donggou. Nowadays, the simple original appearance of the East ditch no longer exists, replaced by a full of Ming and Qing Dynasty style buildings. In this way, it is more heavy sense of long history, the heavy sense of Taiji culture. Li Hong said: "Look! This is a cloud leaf dish, right?"
"This is the cloud leafy vegetables!" It turns out that cloud leaf lettuce is turned into an ornamental plant here, a green plant. What a smart, smart idea! This can kill two birds with one stone: not only beautify the environment, but also can be harvested between harvests, as a vegetable to eat.
"I wonder if it's sprayed with pesticides?"
"If not, pick some to go home and cook vegetable buns!"
My interest was in the red clouds of Tuling, and Lihong's interest was in the cloud leafy vegetables.
As we talked, we walked in. Behind the earth ridge is under construction, building a classical style building. To the northeast of the ridge, across the road, there is still a ridge of earth - a ridge of earth full of flowers. Cloud leafy vegetables spread all over the soil ridge, the slope of the moon season like a brocade, the ridge purple violet like clouds.
The roadside is piled up with a lot of plucked cloud leafy vegetables and Shanghai green. A few foreign workers with dark faces, dressed in dusty clothes, talking and laughing, are loading those piles of cloud leafy vegetables and Shanghai green piled up on the roadside into tricycles, ready to be transported to the refuse collection point.
"May I ask what kind of flower that big tree on the Tuling tree has? That red one!" I asked.
"The purple violet!" A woman replied. It turns out that yew can grow into such a tall tree. I thought it was just a low, short little shrub!
"Did you sprinkle pesticides on your cloud leafy vegetables?" Li-Hong asked.
"No!" One of the folk replied. I observed that some of the most tender parts of the tops of the cloud leafy greens had been picked away, so I guess this cloudy leafy greens and Shanghai green are also the main vegetables of these folk! Not one of them! Just look at the dark, thin faces and you'll know.
"Can we pick some leaves?" Li-Hong asked.
"You guys pick them up top! It's fresh there! There are people up there plucking them!" He said, pointing with his finger to the upper part of the earth ridge. Through the gap between the cloud leafy greens, the moonflower, and the yew, I could see an old man in white, bending down to pluck the greens.
I looked down at the red silk dress on my body, the stockings on my feet and the white high-heeled shoes and said: "I can't afford to part with my clothes and shoes. When I come down from the top, my clothes must be spent! The shoes must have turned into muddy shoes! Just pick some from down there!"
"I'll go up!" Li-hong said and took off her light turquoise colored knitted sunscreen and climbed up the dirt ridge! I did not expect such a dainty and tender woman, such a woman full of poetry, dry work is so amortized! I was shocked by the image of a tomboy when I was a child, and I grew up to be a bold and straightforward woman! Maybe it is close to the red, today she is going to become a strong woman, I want to become a soft woman.
A moment later, Li Hong from the soil ridge pick up a pinch of cloud leafy vegetables down and said: "You do not want to hand, thrown away! We'll pick fresh ones."
Li-hong put the rooted and stemmed cloud leafy vegetables on the roadside cloud leafy vegetables pile, and went to the soil ridge.
"Come on, get less!"
"It's fine! More can be given away! It's a shame they throw it away!" Said the man as he continued up the dirt ridge.
I was at the bottom of the soil ridge to choose vegetables, Lihong in the upper transport vegetables. A moment later, and picked up a pinch back. At this time to see Li Hong, white with blue pattern dress, chest has been soil leaf green pollution, back was soaked in sweat, soaked skirt, and spine stained together. A pair of white slope-soled slippers on the feet are also covered with mud, turned into mud son shoes, heartbreaking, pity.
Choosing vegetables! Li-hong's car basket was full. She asked me to take out a plastic bag. After a while, the plastic bag was full, we were ready to leave. When we left the gate, Li-hong didn't forget to grab a handful of vegetables and give them to the cleaner at the gate. The janitor said, "You city people don't have land, it's rare! We're not short of it here, we're tired of eating it!"

Into the ecological garden, a glimpse of dozens of trainees in the west of the road on the small square is very serious about learning taijiquan. Asked to learn that the lotus pond in the south of the eco-park.
Along the axis to the south not far, and then folded to the east, along the road on both sides of the street trees are hibiscus. The hibiscus is in full bloom at this time. There is enough living space between the trees, so that each hibiscus tree can grow to the four sides of the growth, growth into a luxuriant small trees. Hibiscus petioles are short and the leaves are shaped like peony leaves, only more numerous and smaller. Between the dense green leaves, dotted with many deep and light pink . Flowers, there are single petals, there are heavy petals. The pink flowers, like a pink butterfly, fluttered between the lush blue leaves. Each flowering tree is like a piece of embroidery. One piece of embroidery into two colorful and gorgeous brocade.
Eyes across the cloud brocade to the north, there is a large field of gerbera. At the end of the flower field is a grass hut. Gesang flowers are also called Gesang Meiduo. Gesang is a good time, the meaning of prosperity, Meiduo is the meaning of flowers. Gesang flower is a good flower, the flower of the world. In the snowy plateau, she is a symbol of beauty, a symbol of happiness, is the Tibetan people's auspicious flower, the flower of happiness. Originally grows in Sichuan and Tibet around the vast far away barren land of Gesang flower, also be planted in the Central Plains. Perhaps Chen Gou people also hope that Gesang flower for them to bring happiness, good luck, good, prosperous it! In fact, Chenjiagou (locally known as Chen Gou), as the hometown of Taiji and the birthplace of Chen's Taijiquan, has received unprecedented attention. The people of Chen Gou have already brought Taijiquan to many corners of the world with the support of the government. Many foreign friends come to Chenjiagou to learn Taijiquan. In the morning sunshine, in the corners of the land of Guwen, in the city and in the countryside, countless people are practicing taijiquan, using taijiquan for health and fitness. History has never treated taijiquan and the people of Chenjiagou as well as today. The Gesang flower adds mystery and a little Zen to taijiquan. Taijiquan also allows people to realize the essence of yin and yang, rigidity and flexibility, the combination of static and dynamic, and the essence of Taoism and nature in a single move. Yes, Taoism is natural! A number of years ago, Chen Wangting, the ancestor of Taijiquan, saw the Taijiquan diagram of the intersection of yin and yang in the natural picture of the intersection of the river and the Luo River. Many of the moves in Taijiquan, such as the White Crane, White Snake, Golden Cockerel, Ape, Monkey and Fruit Offering, and Hand Movement, are derived from imitating the movements of animals in nature. As the saying goes:
"Taoism is based on nature and yin and yang, and the river and the Luo are intertwined in a miraculous way.
The spirit of boxing is amazing, and the health of the five continents **** Taiji.
We said goodbye to the gerberas and headed south along the hibiscus-paved road to the lotus pond with its weeping willows. Above the lotus pond, set up a simple and simple bridge, the bridge is built by the diameter of less than ten centimeters of round wood, full of rich simple countryside atmosphere. Under the green willow, between the green grass, covered with a stone paved path. Strolling along the stone path, we viewed a small lotus pond. Lotus pond, green lotus leaves, some gently nestled in the water, such as a leaf light boat floating. The gray-green of the lotus leaves, decorated with a pearl garden jade bright white, crystal clear pearls. The breeze, the beads will be in the leaf surface of the boat swaying. Some of the lotus leaves standing in the river above the surface, swaying in the breeze curls of the body. The lotus seedpods stand upright between the leaves. The most eye-catching, or those who are scattered like flowers in the sky between the leaves of the pink lotus flowers. Some of them are in full bloom, some are in their first blossom, and some are showing their tips. The two ends of the lotus pond are like two round moons, on the water moon, the green willow and grass are depicting a wonderful painting; on the water moon, the lotus leaves and flowers are dancing with the splendor of life, dancing with the auspiciousness of life! The lotus flower on the moon is really unforgettable.
Although the lotus pond is small, it is also interesting. Deep in the hidden eco-park, there is never anyone to disturb, as quiet as a world of cultivation of the high priest.
Take a walk elsewhere. Peach blossoms, cherry blossoms, hibiscus, gerbera, plum blossoms ...... ecological garden is a garden; peaches, walnuts, blossoms red ...... ecological garden is an orchard; martial arts practitioners can be seen everywhere, ecological garden is a martial arts garden. I hope she can become a place to freely break tender corn, free to pick green hairy beans, free to pick fruit ...... both ornamental value and economic benefits.
Farewell Chenjiagou, embarked on the return journey, only to find that the county leading to the Chenjiagou of the three roads, all "thoughtful as a mainstay, its straight as a vector."
