The angel's music on the Dadu River
" Hehehe-" Someone envied Little Bear and wanted to steal the show."Speaking of cuckoos, I followed my grandfather to the mountains to pick herbs since I was young. "Often, you fold the azalea first, then pick the herbs," Miss Yulu said.
The cuckoo was praised as the "beauty of flowers", and the great poet Bai Juyi once praised it as such: "Looking back, the peaches and plums are colorless, and the hibiscus reflected is not a flower." Whenever spring comes, azalea flowers will bloom all over the mountains and plains. From afar, it looks like the mountains and forests have been dyed with rouge. Therefore, azalea is commonly known as "Azalea". Let's share the language and legend of azalea flowers!
The azalea's flower language was " forever yours ", representing the joy of love. It was said that people who liked azalea flowers were pure and innocent. When they saw the azalea flowers blooming all over the mountain, it was the time when the love of God descended.
Legend had it that a long time ago, there was a small village at the foot of the Great Treasure Mountain in the southwest. The people in the village lived by planting fruit trees, farming, and hunting. Yellow orange trees could be seen everywhere in the village. By the beginning of March, the branches of the fruit trees were full of golden and heavy fruits. Coupled with the sunny weather, the scene here was particularly moving. The special climate and geographical conditions here made it a place where yellow oranges were abundant. The yellow mandarin orange flowers and fruits surrounded a tree. The fragrance of the flowers and fruits was very alluring. In front of the village was the beautiful Dadu River, located in Shimian County, Sichuan Province. Dadu River was called Beijiang River, Jishui River, Moshui River, Dadu River, Mengshui River, Lushui River, Luhe River, Yangshan River, Yangshan River, Zhongzhen River, Yutong River, Jinchuan River and Tonghe River in ancient times. It was located in the central and western Sichuan Province of the People's Republic of China. It was the largest tributary of the Ming River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Originating from the southern foot of Guoluo Mountain in the Anima Qing Mountain Range in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, it originates from the Muzu River. After passing through Aba County, it receives Suomo River and Chuosijia River (Duke River and Duke River) in the territory of Malkang County. It flows southward through Jinchuan County and Danba County. After receiving the small Jinchuan River in the east of Danba County, it is called Dadu River. Then it turns eastward through Luding County and Shimian County, passes through Hanyuan County and Ebian County, and flows into Minjiang River in the south of Leshan City. It has a total length of 1062 kilometers (1050 kilometers in one word [3]) and a drainage area of 77,700 square kilometers. There are many tributaries of Dadu River. There are 28 tributaries with a drainage area of more than 1000 square kilometers and 2 tributaries with a drainage area of 10000 square kilometers. The density of river network is 0.39. The Dadu River was the largest tributary of the Min River. It could lead to the Yangtze River. The Dadu River had a vast basin, varied climates, and rich resources. Below Jinchuan, there was a continuous plateau in the north, which blocked the invasion of the cold air from the north. At the same time, the canyon terrain was blocked, and the heat was not easily lost. Therefore, the bottom of the valley was warm all year round, with an average annual temperature of 12 - 18 ° C. The frost-free period was 180 - 320 days, and the crops could be harvested twice or thrice a year. In Jinchuan, Hanyuan and other river valley terraces with fertile soil and convenient irrigation, agriculture was quite developed. Due to the superior thermal conditions, the mid-season rice planting area here could reach an altitude of 2200 meters. It was one of the areas with the highest distribution of mid-season rice in Sichuan Province. The valley plains in the middle and lower reaches are also suitable for the growth of double-harvest rice. Although the temperature in the high-cold region was low, the sunlight was strong and abundant. Spring wheat, highland grasses, and horse bells could be planted at an altitude of about 3500 meters. The climate upstream was cool and the grass was lush. Tens of thousands of sheep, yaks, horses and other livestock were raised. It was one of the main animal husbandry bases in Sichuan Province. Dense primeval forests grew in the high mountains on the west bank of the Dadu River. Its area accounted for 15.3% of the province's forest area, and its timber accumulation accounted for 26.1% of the province's total. It was second only to the Yalong River in all major river basins. The spruce, firs, hemlock, and birch trees here were of excellent quality. Every year, a large amount of wood would flow down the river and be exiled to Leshan and Yibin to support the construction inside and outside the province. In the deep mountains and forests under the thick shade, there were many rare animals such as giant pandas, golden monkeys, twisted antelopes, and white-lipped deer. The plant resources in the Dadu River basin were also very eye-catching. The valley area below 3000 meters is rich in various fruits from the subtropics to the temperate-zone. Asmian yellow fruit mandarin is a famous specialty of Shimian County, Ya 'an city, Sichuan Province. It is obovate in shape, with many flat stems and grooves. The fruit surface is orange-yellow, shiny, oil-soaked. The peel is thin and easy to peel. The central column is empty and basically has no seeds. The meat is crisp and tender, juicy, sweet and sour, and slightly fragrant. Jinchuan, Hanyuan pear, with thin skin, small core, water, sweet taste and famous at home and abroad; Hanyuan's walnuts and oranges, Luding's fragrant peaches, Jinchuan's persimmons, famous mountains 'Mengding tea and other local specialties were also famous throughout the country. Yuexi and other places had become the apple production base of Sichuan Province. There were also famous medicinal herbs such as Fritillaria, cordycep, Rheum amurense, Notopterygium, Musk, Deer Antler, etc., as well as by-products such as tung oil, white wax, silkworm mulberry, tea leaves, pepper, etc., which were also the pride of Dadu River. Among them, the pepper of Hanyuan had the advantages of strong fragrance, sufficient numb taste, heavy oil quality, good color, etc., and enjoyed a high reputation in the international market.
There were two families living by the river. To the east lived a young man named Ah Niu. He was as tall and sturdy as an ox. He went up the mountain to hunt and went down the river to fish. Birds and animals could not escape his hands. Moreover, Ah Niu carried something special with him. It was a flute. The flute made a mournful sound, and as long as he blew it, it would attract many beautiful birds of all colors to hover above his head. Ah Niu also became good friends with these birds. When he was free, he would catch some small insects to feed them. The birds would also bring some exotic flowers and herbs to Ah Niu. These exotic flowers and herbs were all precious herbs. Ah Niu often gave these herbs to the poor in the village to treat their illnesses.
On the west side of the river lived a family surnamed Liu. There was only a mother and a daughter. The mother and daughter depended on each other. Her mother was blind and her life was inconvenient. She relied on her daughter, Zigui, to spin, weave, and sell cloth to earn money to support the family. Zigui was smart, clever, and beautiful. Most importantly, she was skillful. The cloth she weaved was beautiful and durable. Moreover, Zigui was kind-hearted and often gave money to people who were poorer than her. Zigui could also sing and play the zither. His voice was mellow and moving, just like a lark. The sound of the zither was long and fragrant, like a trickling stream in a field. A gentle breeze soothes the soul, a drizzle tells the truth. There was another strange thing: As long as Miss Zigui sang, the azalea flowers at the foot of Dabao Mountain would bloom, and each of them would be full and gorgeous.
There was often a girl in a pure white dress by the river, barefoot, carrying a violin case as she walked on the golden beach. From afar, the girl seemed to have wings and a translucent halo. She was an angel who had fallen into the mortal world. The river was undulating, crashing against the beach, splashing waves that made the girl's skirt wet.
Slowly, she sat down on a big round rock and put down the violin case. She took out the golden violin from the case and it looked especially dazzling under the dazzling sunlight. She gently stroked each string of the violin, then carefully placed it on her young shoulder and began to play a world-famous song, Für Elise.
On the shore not far from the girl, a young man stood on the riverbank, quietly watching her play the piano in a daze. Seeing that she was completely immersed in her own musical world, he began to lose control of himself for some reason. He also played his pan flute. A gust of wind blew, and the mournful sound of the flute drifted out from the riverside. The sound of the flute seemed to contain endless feelings and endless love. The sound of the flute was like the wind blowing away the twining of plum blossoms, performing a dream-like romantic scene. The sound of the flute passed through the years, faintly blowing the thoughts of the dream, blowing through the winter night, crossing the trickling water, stringing up the clouds of the past, savoring the melancholy that sounded like weeping.
The sound of the flute blew across the deep sky. What it couldn't blow away was the infiltration of life, and what it couldn't untie was the entanglement. The sound of the flute embraced heaven and earth, releasing a feeling like a song. This unique duet of the flute sounded like a love song, blowing away the longing for the future and the yearning for a beautiful love. Immersed in the sea of flowers and enjoying the wonderful flute music, a trace of sweetness melted in the bottom of his heart. In the slight intoxication of the plum fragrance, happiness overflowed around him...
When the song was over, the girl slowly took the violin off her shoulder, and the young man slowly took the pan flute in his hand.
The same song, the same performance, the same time, they did it so well. Even if there were no thousands of spectators listening and praising them, at least the sky and the river were their only spectators, witnessing everything for them.
The girl turned her head. She could already feel it in the depths of her heart, so she saw a young man walking out of the beach and walking towards her. The young man's black hair fluttered in the river wind, and his amber blue eyes were as clear as the river. He smiled at the girl. The girl was at a loss under his gaze. Her face could not help but turn as red as an apple, making people want to take a bite out of it.
" That..." The two of them tacitly said the first thing they said when they met.
"You go first." Once again, the two of them smiled at each other. The two smiles were like the sunlight in winter, as if they could melt the ice and snow, making people feel extremely warm.
Ah Niu and Miss Zigui drank the river water together and lived by the river bank. They were childhood sweethearts and were in love. They often played the flute and sang, attracting birds and azalea flowers.
Miss Zigui could sing, play the zither, and weave. She was also beautiful. The people in the surrounding villages knew her and praised her. Especially her music, those beautiful notes slowly flowed from the strings, her instrument was sometimes high and passionate, like the river at high tide lapping against the bank: Sometimes it was tactful and low, like an old loving mother calling out to her long-lost child; Sometimes it was crisp and bright, like a gentle breeze blowing through the green bamboo forest... He changed the tune, and the melodious sound of the zither gently swayed along the river bank with the gentle breeze. The beautiful piano sound seemed to be very far away, far away, but also very close, lingering in his ears. This string of lively and jumping notes gently glided across his heart, dancing happily. Listening carefully, it was a violin performance of " Homesickness ". The music seemed to be coming from far and near, from small to loud. After a gentle and gentle " prelude ", there was an extremely strong trembling. The passionate notes struck the hearts of the people, and the strong rhythm made them feel like they were about to dance. Suddenly, with a thrilling double note, the music stopped abruptly. After a short pause of a few seconds, the most elegant and gentle violin sound sounded again. In the slow and low voice, there was a trace of desolation, as if a wanderer who had left his hometown was crying softly. He raised his head and stared at the hazy moon. She was emitting beautiful light in this quiet night. Their story spread like this, and then it spread to the palace. The emperor was a fatuous ruler, indulging in wine and women all day long. He never asked about the court affairs and only cared about the annual consort selection. When the Emperor heard that Miss Zigui was a great beauty, he couldn't wait to issue an imperial edict, naming the cuckoo to enter the palace. The magistrate was extremely busy. Ever since the Emperor had issued the imperial edict, he had begun to plan. How could he use this opportunity to please the emperor and pave the way for his official career? Thus, the county lord brought a large group of bailiffs and headed straight for the treasure mountain. As soon as they arrived at the big treasure mountain, the crows and flowers were everywhere. It turned out that Ah Niu and Miss Zigui were singing in unison. Magistrate Wang rolled his eyes and thought," Strange, this great beauty really has such great ability. As long as he offers her up…Hehe, Magistrate Liu was secretly happy. So the county uncle came forward and said,"Congratulations! Congratulations! "Miss Zigui, the Emperor has chosen you to be the Imperial Concubine. In the future, you must…" Before the Magistrate could finish speaking, Miss Zigui turned around and entered the room. Seeing that the soft approach didn't work, the magistrate decided to use force. The county magistrate ordered several bailiffs to break open the door. Ah Niu jumped down from the place where the flute was played to protect Miss Zigui. At this moment, a few bailiffs rushed forward. They grabbed Ah Niu's hands and feet, hugging him tightly. Ah Niu could only be anxious. The door was pushed open. Poor Miss Zigui was weak and weak. How could she fight against those fierce yamen runners alone? She was caught in a few moves. As she walked, she shouted,"Ah Niu, save me!" Save me!" Ah Niu was burning with anxiety and could only watch helplessly as Miss Zigui was taken away.
Ever since Miss Zigui was taken away, Ah Niu had been worried every day and night. Miss Zigui's mother cried every day and night, and her eyes became even more blind. Ah Niu thought to himself," Even if I have to go through fire and water, I have to find Miss Zigui." So he helped Zigui's mother to fill a jar with water, cut firewood, buy a jar of rice, settle Zigui's mother, and prepare to set off. Early the next morning, Ah Niu carried a small bag and set off with his beloved Paixiao. He crossed 81 mountains, crossed 81 rivers, and circled 81 coves before finally arriving at the Imperial City.
Moreover, after Miss Zigui was captured and brought to the palace, the Emperor was overjoyed to see her. He said to Miss Zigui,""I heard that you can sing very good songs. Sing one for me!”Miss Zigui didn't speak. He asked again,"I heard that you can weave very beautiful cloth. Weave one for me to see!"”Miss Zigui still did not speak. "I heard you know how to play the zither. Can you play a song for me?"”Miss Zigui still didn't say anything. No matter what the Emperor said, Miss Zigui ignored him. The Emperor was shameless, pestering, and touching her. Miss Zigui hated this old Emperor to death. He was the one who sent people to break into her house. He was the one who separated her and Ah Niu. Thinking of this, she picked up a stool and smashed it on the Emperor's head. The Emperor did not get any advantage at all. Instead, he was hit until his head was bleeding. He was so scared that he covered his head and fled. From then on, Miss Zigui did not eat or drink. Gradually, she became so thin that she did not look like a human being. Her appearance was also haggard and haggard. At this time, the Emperor did not even look at her, nor did he care about her life or death. Just like that, the cuckoo lay on the bed and waited for death.
Ah Niu came to the palace, but he did not know where Miss Zigui was, nor did he know that she was sick. He was anxious to go in, but after walking around the palace, he saw Wei soil and high walls everywhere. There was no chance for him to go in and find Miss Zigui. Just as he was in a hurry, his right hand suddenly touched the flute. He had an idea. He quickly tied a kite, tied Pai Xiao to the back of the kite, and then flew the kite into the sky. As the kite flew in the sky, the flute was also blown by the airflow. Therefore, he released the string longer and longer. The phoenix zither flew in the sky above the palace, and the sound of the flute reached Miss Zigui. Miss Zigui was lying on the bed in a daze. When she heard the familiar sound of the flute, she slowly opened her eyes and looked up through the window. She finally saw the flute and knew that Ah Niu had come to look for her. She struggled to sit up and sang a song from her hometown. It was a song that Ah Niu was familiar with. The song circled around the garden, around the big tree, around the palace walls, and finally reached Ah Niu. When Ah Niu heard this sad and moving song, he was happy and sad. He was happy that Miss Zigui knew he had come to find her, but he was sad that he and Miss Zigui were separated by the palace walls. The more Ah Niu thought about it, the sadder he became. He couldn't save Miss Zigui from the sea of suffering. Although he had gone through thousands of mountains and rivers to finally find Miss Zigui, he could only watch her suffer. Ah Niu's heart was as sad as a knife. As a result, Ah Niu leaned against the palace wall and cried. He did not eat or drink, but looked at the sky in a daze. Gradually, he could not support it anymore. Later, he became a colorful bird. The bird flapped its wings and flew over the high palace wall. It flew to Miss Zigui's side and chirped at her. Miss Zigui stretched out her hand to stroke the bird and said,"Wu 'er, bird, how nice it would be if you could fly me out!”After saying that, she vomited blood which turned into beautiful azalea flowers. Zigui's body also slowly turned into an azalea flower. With this azalea flower in its mouth, the bird flew out of the palace all the way to the foot of Dabao Mountain and planted this azalea flower in front of Zigui's house. From then on, beautiful azalea flowers bloomed there, but the most beautiful one was still the one transformed from the cuckoo. This flower had five petals, and there was a dark green pearl in the center of the flower. It was called "Five Treasures Green Pearl and Zigui Green Pearl", which was a precious species of azalea. People on the bank of the Dadu River had been praising the beautiful legend of azalea for generations. Many years later, a temple was built here called Zigui Baolin Temple. There was a very beautiful flower platform called Azalea Platform in the temple. Many azalea flowers of various kinds were planted on the azalea platform. The "Five Treasures Green Pearl" had also been transplanted to the azalea platform. It blossomed more beautifully in the flowers. Every morning and evening, there would always be a group of colorful birds flying above the flower terrace. One of them always liked to circle around the "Five Treasures Green Pearl". Moreover, this crow's cry was especially sad, just like the flute blowing. It was said that it was the embodiment of A Niu.
It was the Blood Dropping Azalea, the angel of the mortal world, Anu, who had transformed into a bird and reappeared in the legend of Liang Zhu. The angels in the mortal world never left, the elegy of love touched heaven and earth, the Dadu River flowed quietly, and the cowherd sang Zigui through the ages. The angel on the Dadu River played the zither again.
