Zhuiman cave of Li Shan
Lee Hill on the Internet to see a black and white photographs, my heart was immediately excited, black and white photos seems to be a childhood paper-cut engraved pattern of the original, semi-circular windows and doors, the hospital in the fruit trees, under the eaves of the corn, the distance The mountains and the sky clouds .... Is really the theme of my childhood painting, in the eyes of my heart dreams, this scene is the most beautiful painting. Li Shan is really so? Where is it? With excitement on the Internet on a large scale search, the map view, and finally found a thick yellow soil on Napian Lijiashan description, I understand the initial emotional Lijiashan.
Lee Hill Road to the very far, I have decided to trip into the Li Mountain in Shanxi Province. The hands of only a hand-drawn map of the moraine Town. At 7:30 p.m. on August 26, 2003, I swim into the Central Valley Luliang Prefecture of Shanxi, Shaanxi, marsh into the Yellow River mouth, Wo Hu foot of the mountain, close to the Yellow River port town on the moraine.
That night I would stay at the nearby Yellow River on the cave, life did not forget that two meters wide and four or five meters long Taikang the first time I sleep, sleep has been repeatedly wake of waves of the Yellow River, the total should concentrate one's attention Where am I, strange feeling I got up early to get up out of the cave, breathing with yellow breath of air. Along the Yellow River turned into an Ancient Street, at the foot of boxy paving stones to be refining its stand as early as the edges and corners, a look unwittingly climbed the highest mountain Wo Hu Department, condescending overlooking the Yellow River, thus causing an abrupt open-minded, miss calm. Afar across the Yellow River in Shaanxi; yellow thick soil sprout a limited life, nearly see qikou town; layer upon layer upon layer of compound extends upward along the slope, the Peak is a garden planted with sunflower, corn, vegetables.
Dawn traveled around the entire town, which qikou is a bit ancient rhyme. Here, when the Ming and Qing Dynasty houses, brick stone houses built into the ancient Yellow River Street is paved with pebbles, as well as one of bluestone, ranks Yugaoke, filling a basket, a seat yinma slot, fully allow people to experience the glory and the history here, a rich business climate.
Back to the cave, I was the hostess said: After I eat breakfast to get into Lee Hill, she was busy for me to do for breakfast, while giving me a bowl of noodles side pimple and pumpkin, asked me like to eat this? I said: like, I am very casual, and you eat the same. She laughed, turned out that they ate only two meals a day here, 9:00 and 16:00 each meal, I was thinking qikou really poor. The hostess looked at me sitting around smoking and eating, we talk on the, because she and I are the same age in the town possession of family planning, have a son and daughter and I laughed and said: Do you still bits of family planning leading呀! Take the lead in child health 2. Here they are husband and wife on the birth thirties three or four children there, I saw a pregnant woman who hand-mix two or three children. She handed me think I had finished the cigarette, I said do not smoke, I saw the cave, there are a row of very prominent Chinese medicine drawer, and asked: Are you at home is also open the pharmacy呀! She was very proud to say that yes, I am frank to say: That you are at home in this town, regarded as a very wealthy, and she was proud and happy to nod laugh. There is no one in my mind, she said, is why they are all women here smoke? Turn a thought, may be an old habit spread of the bar!
Li Shan their minds after breakfast I took off, and out of the cave a number of women of smiling in guiding me. Li Shan said that was not a mountain, but in a village named Li as the main population, which is local to the village's naming rules. Town and moraine across Qiushuihe across the loess slope known as the Nanshan mountain the other side, that is, Li Village.
Li Shan to be wading into the Qiushuihe, I wonder why we do not build bridges or to set up a row of blocks as the southern anchor in the stream step. I watched other people standing in the river quickly took off his shoes, trousers rolled up five minutes before the river, I try to go inside for half an hour in the river only to the other side, we can see the difference between my ability to wade. Walking along the Yellow River in the winding track, turn around and suddenly the foot of qikou Wo Hu Town, a vast panoramic view of the Yellow River. I am standing on the hillside, a saw when you looked into the marsh water, rivers, the Yellow River bend, bend due to the undulating terrain formed by a section of shallow rapids, the locals it was known as moraine, which called in the Yellow River Hukou for Large moraine, the moraine ---- Here is the Yellow River 2 Datong moraine. Yellow splashed in the shallows on a loud noise, the ear can be clearly echoed the thunder of the Yellow River Ocean Waves. Last night I had awakened the Yellow River, Ocean Waves on the out of here,呀!
Hill climbing more than an hour later, I finally saw the Napian hill surrounded by mountains, the yellow trench ditch attached soil thick inlaid with an arc-shaped hole Kongyuan the cave, reminding us of scenes in the sunlight magnified scales sheet.
I quietly entered the Lee Hill, was immediately surrounded by two women, apparently they are very experienced and I see a tourist passengers, one in front of me to sit on a stool; one of my water bottle filled, I was confused doubt the enthusiasm of their vigilance, soon I was familiar with them into the long-awaited friend, they have asked endless questions, I like the FAQ is also a teacher. Chat familiar, the woman called her 16-year-old daughter with me swim Li Village, lovely girl simple guide I traveled every corner of Lee Hill, walking and kept right I said, it is in the village primary school, about who has the most beautiful cave in the village temple, even the pen should take me to see, the girl also specifically took me to see the village three wells, wells in the ditch, in a thick yellow earth Water is an important lifeline of Li Shan.
I walk through on the jagged, with stones piled on the road, every one I could cave yard free access, you can watch up close and fine those who Zhuanmu stone plaque. Go ditch to the point of view, the mountain slopes about 40 degrees, Gao Xia stacked with as many as nine-story cave reach the peak from the ditch. Those who use water mill brick masonry on the seam of the cave, well-designed, well construction, the mountain on the potential, its shape is different styles Distinct.
That the several cave and became a courtyard, you can crop drying, stacking and other work tools and stone roller, but also a neighbor stopping by recreation spot. Most of the caves deep 7 to 8 meters wide and 3 meters high are all around the cave is divided into before and after the two, the door usually open on the left, into that bedroom, the cave inside the bedroom concept is a kang, post office put forward to cabinet, etc. consumer goods. In the girl's home for dinner, I sat on the kang. Cave of the kang, a woman in the above to do needlework, the men Eurya to flagon, to study child is taken to textbooks, showing that this is indeed a lot of features kang.
Yellow thick soil inside the cave also has their rich feelings, it turned out to be paper-cut window bars on the chicken's body fly with a bird with a long tail monkey flower, there is a cave on the strings of red peppers, yellow corn stick , cave of the curtain is a woman who used the old calendar to do. Watching all of this, can we not imagine the cave where the number of people living with a romantic longing for呀!
Farewell Lee Hill, I thought to myself, Lee Hill should come back. Finally, I quote our famous modern painter Mr. Wu Guanzhong in October 1989 he wrote a book went to Lee Hill, then as travels at the end of the section. Mr. Wu Guanzhong wrote: "I have an important discovery in Shanxi - Linxian County qikou Li Village. Here from the outside look like a desolate tomb, one inside is very particular about the ancient caves, old villages in the relatively closed, like with the Bank isolated retreat from the world. Such villages, such as a house, traveled around the world is immune to find! "
