Only when you are narrow-minded at first can you understand people; Take a few steps and you will be suddenly enlightened. The land is flat and spacious, so is the house. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboo, and the traffic in the building is familiar. Among them, farming, men and women dressed, known as outsiders; The yellow hair hangs low and enjoys itself. Seeing the fisherman, he was shocked and asked him what he had not done. Answer it. You have to go home, set the wine, kill the chicken and cook. When the village heard about this man, Xian came to inquire. Ziyun: In those days, I escaped from the Qin Dynasty, led my wife and people to this desperate situation, and never came back. So I separated from outsiders. What is this world? I didn't know there were Han Chinese, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties. This man speaks every word with a sigh. The others went home, eating and drinking. Stop for a few days and resign. There is a saying in China: "The humanity of outsiders is not satisfactory."
Help the road when you get off the boat, and you are determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. The satrap sent someone to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he lost his way. Nanyang Liu Ziji, when he was noble, heard about it, gladly planned to go, failed, and finally found the disease. Nobody took care of it after that.

the Peach Garden
1. Taohuayuan is a national AAAA-level scenic spot, located in Taoyuan County, Changde City. It is a fairyland on earth written by Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Taohua Mountain, Qinren Village in Xanadu, Taohua Mountain in the Holy Land of Taoism, and Taoxianling, the mythical hometown, make you linger ... Tickets for Taohuayuan are 68.
2. Where is the prototype of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden? There are more than 30 places in the country that are "reasonable". The scenery of Wuling Gorge in Zhushan County, Hubei Province is very similar to the Peach Blossom Garden. More than 20 experts from Beijing, Wuhan and other places believe that it is suspected to be the Peach Blossom Garden in terms of natural ecology and history and culture.
["Suddenly, the land leveled and the house was like"]
Twenty kilometers past Wuling Gorge, there is another cave.
Zhushan County is located in the mountainous area of northwest Hubei, with lush trees and steep terrain. It takes 3 hours from Zhushan County to guandu town around Panshan Highway.
At 8 am on April 7, the sky cleared up. The reporter and Zou Yilong, director of Zhushan Foreign Affairs Office, set off from guandu town and drove to taoyuan village for about half an hour. According to the records of Zhushan place names, the name of taoyuan village began in the Jin Dynasty.
Take a small wooden boat upstream along the blocking river (called Wuling River in ancient times) for about half an hour. Suddenly, I saw an isolated mountain protruding from the center of the river. On the back of the mountain is Wuling Gorge, which is less than two meters wide. On both sides are cliffs hundreds of meters high. Looking up, you can only see a glimmer of daylight. The river flows through the deep canyon, which is fascinating. As Tao Yuanming wrote, "There is a small mouth in the mountain, as if there is light, so you leave the boat and enter ...".
About a kilometer into the canyon, the boatman said, I can't walk any further. The river is freezing cold, and in some places it is deeper than my head.
Chairman of Zhushan County Federation of Literary and Art Circles visited Hualai Canyon 10 times. He wrote: Entering the Grand Canyon, flowers and birds are singing, and soon he saw a dense peach tree forest, which can be described as "no miscellaneous trees in it, and the grass is fragrant and colorful".
Further on, you enter the Little Wuling Gorge, which is more quiet. The mountain walls on both sides are like knives and axes, the sky is just a curved white line, and towering trees are born on the bare rock walls.
165438+ at 0: 00 in the morning, a group of three people changed to take the mountain road. When it was dark, they finally crossed the Lvtou Mountain at an altitude of 1800 meters and arrived at a natural village in taoyuan village, the upper outlet of Wuling Canyon. There are 12 families living in the village. I spent the night in the farmhouse at the top of the mountain. The next morning, I stood on the mountain and looked down at the bottom of the valley. Suddenly, the land is flat and spacious, and the house is like this. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds and mulberry trees, traffic jams, and chickens and dogs hear each other ... "
Zou Yilong said that in this 20-kilometer-long Wuling Canyon, there is still an open space where several families named Deng live.
【 "I don't know how to have Han, regardless of Wei and Jin Dynasties" 】
An old man asked, "How is old Chairman Mao's body now?"
On the morning of the 8th, reporter Chen's family killed a rooster to entertain "foreign guests".
The head of the household is Chen, 86 years old. He has 1 1 children. His eldest son is over 60 years old and his youngest daughter is 35 years old. The daughter married outside the mountain, and several sons still live in the ravine. Most of these houses are built on the edge of cliffs, with mud rammed earth walls and blue tiles.
At 7 o'clock in the morning, Chen Mingxi, the fourth son of the Chen family, led the mule up the mountain. He told reporters: Few outsiders come to the mountains. In the past, only people who collected agricultural taxes came in. Now that the agricultural tax is exempted, the tax collectors are not coming. The only uninvited guests are macaques and flying foxes who come in droves to steal corn.
Chen Mingxi, 52, said that Chen, who accounts for about half of the village, is self-sufficient. Pigs can't be sold when they grow up, because no one can carry fat pigs out of steep mountains.
At the end of last year, in the national "rural bay reconstruction" project, people in the ravine used electric lights, telephones and televisions successively. Many people used to rely on tung oil lamps for lighting.
On the morning of the same day, the reporter and his party reached the bottom of Wuling Canyon on foot for about 1 hour. Waterfalls and springs can be seen everywhere along the way, and there are more than ten acres of paddy fields in the valley. There lived a family at the bottom of the valley, and the head of the family, Wang Dingxi, went to farm on the hillside. Ceng Liping, a 3 1 year-old woman, just came back with a little pig. The reporter had a conversation with her:
"Who is the president now?"
I don't know.
"Do you know Deng Xiaoping?"
I don't know.
"Have you ever heard of Chairman Mao?"
"Chairman Mao, I know."
Hua said that an old man in the ravine once asked him, "How is the old man Chairman Mao's body now?"
□ Expert opinion
Zhushan's Peach Blossom Garden is closer to the prototype.
Professor Zhang from Huazhong University of Science and Technology has visited Wuling Gorge in Zhushan for three times. He put forward the following basis for "Zhushan Peach Blossom Garden is the real source":
First, during the first year of Jin Dynasty described in Peach Blossom Garden, only Zhushan Mountain was called "Wuling County" on Chinese territory. Zhushan, called Wuling County in ancient times, belongs to Hanzhong County, which existed in the Qin Dynasty. During the Jin Dynasty, Wuling County was subordinate to Shang Yong County. The river blocked by Zhushan was originally called Wuling River, and the valley in the river is still called Wuling Gorge. The village at the entrance of the canyon is called Taohuayuan Village, which belongs to guandu town, Zhushan County. The village at the exit is called Taohuayuan Township, which belongs to Zhuxi County. "Taohuayuan Village or Taohuayuan Township, the place name of Taohuayuan is not here now, but it has existed since ancient times." Zhang said to him.
Secondly, in The Peach Blossom Spring, it is said that after the Wuling fisherman came out of the Peach Blossom Spring, he told the county satrap about it, and the satrap sent someone to look for it. Later, Liu Ziji of Nanyang heard about it and went there happily. All failed. In ancient times, information was not smooth. From the analysis of this county, it must be close to Nanyang, so Liu Ziji in Nanyang will definitely hear about it. The only county adjacent to Nanyang is Shang Yong County. Therefore, it is more likely that Peach Blossom Garden will be in Zhushan.
Third, Taohuayuan people hid in the mountains to avoid the Qin chaos in Hanzhong County and Nanyang. This is an ancient battlefield, so people nearby will run to the hidden mountains nearby.
Fourth, the natural landscape here is more in line with Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, which is not easy to find, and even the locals who have lived nearby for generations rarely go in.
Besides Zhang, more than 20 experts, including Dr. Yin Hubin and Dr. Liu Zongdi from China Academy of Social Sciences, also believe that Zhushan Peach Blossom Garden is more like a prototype in terms of landform and history and culture.
"Peach Blossom Garden" and "Wulingyuan" can coexist in the north and south.
There are more than 30 places called "Taohuayuan" in China, among which Taohuayuan Scenic Spot in Taoyuan County, Hunan Province and Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie are the most famous.
When the reporter contacted Taohuayuan Scenic Spot for an interview, the scenic spot insisted that it was the true source of Taohuayuan. However, according to the Records of Taoyuan County, Taoyuan County was established in Song Gande's reign (AD 963), and was suggested by Zhang Yonggen, the transshipment ambassador, to imitate the meaning of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden. At this time, Tao Yuanming has been dead for more than 600 years.
Wulingyuan in Zhangjiajie is also famous, but it was named by Mr. Huang Yongyu in 1982.
Although Wuling County was once located in Changde, Hunan Province in the Han Dynasty, it was located in Zhushan in the Qin Dynasty, much earlier. According to the research of historian Shi Quan, the movement of ancient place names in China is quite common, resulting in many identical place names. For example, Wuling County and Dayong County in Changde, Hunan Province were copied from Zhushan, Hubei Province. Not only that, the four major capitals of Hunan, namely, Xiang, Zi, Yuan and Li, can be found in Hubei. For example, Hanshui in Hubei was called Xiangjiang in ancient times, and Xiangjiang in Hunan was copied from this place name.
Professor Zhang pointed out that the Peach Blossom Garden in Zhushan is very distinctive in both natural scenery and history and culture, and can be called "South Wuling" or "North Wuling" or "South Peach Blossom Garden" together with Hunan Wulingyuan and Peach Blossom Garden. The two can coexist.
