A barren breaks lonesome ash to fizzle out, mad wild capricious ash is yellow, below yellow day large tract contain a few dimly or a honest elephant: Other people of cave dwelling of water of loess ground, Yellow River, earth, loess...
Fu the loess of lofty or bottomless at is north big district from why and come? Is the gully of loess plateau interior continuous because of He Ercheng? What kind of soul-stirring had once happened in thick loess?
Geological expert says: More than 200000000 years ago, there is an ancient mainland only on the earth, say " extensive mainland " or " super mainland " . Come to was controlled 200000000, "Super mainland " one divides into two, fission is Lao Yagu land and Gangwanagu land, two mainlands that break up resemble two inside the fish that hides iron piece, ceaseless and northerly move about, a current gashs north and south naturally polar, by on the west eastwards slowly stream drip, flow is larger and larger, river range is wider and wider, ancient mainland is slow the dimension that moves to be controlled to the north temperate zone spends the position. So far, current is taken in north put delay, focus gradually, form here tremendous laky -- celebrate Yang Hu. The lake is great, lake face stretch to the horizon, grand insignificant boundless, the lake water extensive of dark blue removes small small great waves, great waves affects all the time the condition such as Gansu Province, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, the land that annulus lake takes presents climate of type of selva of the north temperate zone. Air temperature is appropriate, rainfall plentiful, of the lake all around the fern that growing to be as high as the pteridophyte plant with 30 meters of forceful Shi Song, concentrated above, luxuriantly green, below azure blue sky, green aquatic is cultivated, bug bird spends rock, self-importanting pterodactyl is regnant whole world, they hover in headroom, in surface cruise, walk in the meadow. And meanwhile, the earth enters urgent hurriedly to change again period, land floor piece acuteness shake, collision, volcano erupts ceaselessly, many lava is aspersed to the ground. Another went 100000000, the earth entered blueness strong period, about in land collide for the last time between floor piece -- namely Indian board piece with the Asia board piece happen when colliding, indian board piece insert Asian board directly piece bottom, cause Qinghai-Tibet Platean urgent inside very short time hurriedly carries litre, loess plateau distributes land this region appears a tremendous basin that break fall, inside the basin crisscross of terraqueous and laky freely, climate begins dry, rainfall decreases quickly, weather becomes dry and cold, earth evolution is prairie zoology appearance, appeared a flock of group tremendous stegodon. Right now, because be to be in Qinghai-Tibet Platean to continue to carry,rise period, downy surface furled another powerful tornado, namely violent sand and dust is cruel. For a short while, here flies to take rock dene day and night, block day my day, violent tornado carries a large number of loess to be blown eastwards ceaselessly, blow to the loess plateau area of low-lying area, around of sanded dust storm was blown in all 20000000, many loess cram laky, fenny, meadow, rhinoceros of pterodactyl, stegodon, big lip disappears from the scene gradually, dense silvan vegetation by annihilation in, empty on medium, ground, entiring lonely is breathed, the earth is vast hollowness, loess of lofty or bottomless enclothed north, include vast North Shaanxi region, loess piles up, highland is formed.
Northwest of loess plateau male crouch, length and breadth of land is extensive. The life mountain of Qinghai has on the west, a gleam of of ancient Great Wall of boreal cut Inner Mongolia, the Qin Dynasty is the following, receive east too travel hill, qin Ling comes south. Worsen ceaselessly as climate, broad loess accumulation produces the change of structural sex ceaselessly. Because loess is earthy loose, wave extremely easily medicinal powder, northward upland dry and cold is windy, corrode of wind silkworm rain, as time passes, surface of yellow land watch begins to become broken up, landforms feature presents Yuan, bridge, Mao, plain. Bigger evenly weighs Yuan, yuan is relapsed cut, make bridge; Liang Jixu by cut, become Mao; There is close gully current to drip between Yuan bridge Mao, gully water wraps nip silt to pound an a few miniature flat on the way, plain form. And actually, the landforms of loess plateau interior is complex the state is far not Mao of bridge of Yuan of be confined to plain, enter the two ground of Yu forest city and Yan'an city especially, namely the North Shaanxi churchyard on geographical meaning and culture meaning. The partial district that be here, yuan is little, beyond the Yan'an city Luo Chuan Yuan with the biggest eliminate, the rest is completely almost with bridge, Mao, stage, channel, fork, cliff, a stone needle used in acupuncture in ancient China, valley, Lao, bay, mouth, collapse give priority to geographical landforms. These " fragmentary " plot is to form loess plateau hinterland inside the most complex the mainest geographical pattern, also be these " fragmentary " the bleak that forms North Shaanxi is barren, become the geographical basis with inherent North Shaanxi, this namely whole history and reality give North Shaanxi the explicit impression that people appears, it is North Shaanxi district inside almost the can't bear look with long constant.
The wind that what all the year round is blowing goes to where go to bed, what all the year round sheds dripping Huang Shui where to go to? Actually, in the Yellow River water that their final a home to return to passes through to go up in loess ground. "Gentleman disappears, the water of the Yellow River is come from the sky " , the picture that Li Bai sees Yellow River water is blusterous is in chute of mouth of Yellow River crock, also be in a such regions, all histories of Yellow River water and individual character are exposed almost here without involuntary discharge of urine. The mainstream that blusterous Yellow River water is not Yellow River itself is in effective, the fountainhead water of the Yellow River comes from the water that melts on the snow of Qinghai, fine fine one arteries and veins, clear one arteries and veins. And flow all the way in the Yellow River drip classics white Yu Zishan, too travel hill, loess plateau when, water quantity is changing ceaselessly, when shedding loess plateau of classics North Shaanxi especially. The clough that Yellow River water wears loess plateau is forward, clough is connecting clough, clough is connecting mountains and rivers-land, mountains and rivers-land is connecting a river. The natural individual character of loess plateau is violent likewise, it is ablaze. Of North Shaanxi concave and convex, heaven and earth has a kind of brief correspondence, cloud of one a knot in one's heart waves on hill Mao, cloud of this a knot in one's heart, in North Shaanxi word, have thick stiff, twist together, ruthless and cruel meaning, the antagonism with intense connotation and rich weichi, cloud of this one a knot in one's heart is a strong presence, strong force comes to brash of a flurry on the horse namely, the course of a swift and fierce. This rainstorm will get urgent dry, those who fall is violent, go if really definitely. However this rain gear has huge ruinous, a large number of rainwater of short time assemble small the floating dust between the concentrated mountains and rivers-land of one class erodes suddenly, after that assemble an onrush, this onrush again the edge is big the delay of mountains and rivers-land of one class flows, , one dc drips, collect Yellow River water finally, the yellow of Yellow River water thick stiff rise, huang Qi comes.
The rainstorm of North Shaanxi and sanded dust storm have same special individual character almost, indication fruit mixes the rainstorm of North Shaanxi definitely swift and fierce. I ever had kept the torrential rain of North Shaanxi technically, be in " thundershower " in one article, I write meticulously:
And the home town North Shaanxi in me, rain to have completely different type, especially summer, many thunderstorm. The prelude of thunderstorm shows another pair of complexion of heaven and earth, insolent is arbitrary, move about freely and quickly, pluvial arrival must break out brew in full blast, one rips a heart to crack lobar quiver, fell, have one time more earthshaking, dripping wet of merry and lively, until advances and the end reflects a kind ruthless and cruel, thick mix madly if really definitely, leave to close greatly greatly, resemble some kind of great ceremony, the respond to a curtain call of a certain victory.
Thunderstorm 3 afternoon, what Gu Yan says is pretty good. In midsummer, the sun comes out, carrying a head on the head to bake, dry heat comes continuously afternoon, heaven and earth the charcoal fire as boiling hot, many hot and dry go up in earth, on stone, on grass, on water, cultivate leaf absolutely still, shoulder of crops seedling slouch, the dog is below jujube spitting long-tongued pant unbearably unbearably, insect grows one acoustical weak point ground chaos cries, air is depressing and irritated gloomy, one deeplies worried approaching the top of head, blocking pectoral abdomen up, double leg ankyloses not to want to move, feel only all around be full of fire, fire surrounds a move by sunshine denudation person, dress clothes sweat sticks sluggish, stark-naked bake so that the flesh aches... redneck sees a day, the headroom of azure blue, float is worn a few easy and comfortable Yun Duo, wind hides in Yun Li. The grandma says: Prostitution dirt is not moved, want stifle person!
Actually, in the still that looks like in this, invisible far has begun to brew a blatant thunderstorm. Look, not much meeting, hill has nebula come-and-go that to emerge, move toward upper part of the top of head, together enough, an evil wind hid in nebula, colour of sky has to begin to send dark, the redneck that goes on ridge of field had blown a silent penetrating coolness on the back. Adage says: East dark on the west dark, wait for less than having a meal. Back-to-back, abrupt, on the spot gives birth to wind, on the spot uproots, now.. vertically downward hurl, fluctuation leap up is worn, the left and right sides is coiling, one is twisted to come back in some place, twist taller more, twist more pointed more, develop horizon continuously. Grandmother says: Do not stand over, that ghost tornado! A certain ghost is hiding among them, close whose body who should suffer disaster, the child can be unplugged fetch goes directly. Again next, ground of fresh gale all over the sky is blown, suitable to, converse, rotate, flying sand takes rock, muddy day my day, in a twinkle of heaven and earth is muddleheaded. Distant horizon is in, jing thunder billow, be like closely, lightning is broken off in the dark in ash crack, shine on tent, delimit keenly, thor and electric god take shining yataghan, dance of full headroom ground. Thunder is close to gradually again hollow, press in the top of head, person of ear of cuting, acute, be astonished, lightning flickers, the raindrop with big ladle is being wrapped, bang tower -- bang tower -- or one is hit in humeral head, cool and unripe ache, resembled throwing ice ball to who. Gu Yan builds an elephant again: 1.1 bubble, heavy rain has not arrived. Lei Yu urgent hurriedly, report heals close disease, on scanty drip-drop 10 come minute, begin to pull concentrated rainband among heaven and earth, wind wraps nip to wear rain, rain is twining wind, one tightens close, heavy rain came, arbitrary boundless.
Not a little while, the ground is gradually ambiguous, horizon rolling mine is deep, seething of half empty aerosol, whats were lost sight of, a mist, muddleheaded, listen rain is rarely only in, resolutely definitely.
As a result of tired month of rainstorm all the year round erode, loess the earth's surface erodes more jump over rugged, jump over rugged to erode more, form vicious circle. The mid region of North Shaanxi, peaceful heart county, clear gully county, child city county, child long county, Yan Chuan county, lengthen county of city of county, An Sai county, Yan'an, Gan Quan, be in such region almost, also be to erode the most serious region. Very magical is, be in namely such " deep trench is narrow Ge is pulled " , trickling sluggishly brook theres is no lack of again in yellow mound hill, brook deep attack by surprise at deep hill broken in, winding and labyrinthian, be like go gradually the small snake of fade-out, prolonged is incessant, gurgle shedding drips, with Yellow River water " ninety-nine path bends the world Yellow River " reflect of web sth resembling a net, these close yellow water arteries and veins are, also be the life on loess ground puts the lasting pulse that take.
Also be in this is deep " fragmentary " in drape, in a few relatively complete slope depression, below the loess hillside with one deep cut, clip is hiding a kind of peculiar humanitarian landscape. They or individual, or, or thorough, or shallow piece, form the living landscape with particular North Shaanxi -- earthy cave dwelling. This is the mankind with the most primitive loess plateau resident place, also be the deepest geographical and humanitarian memory on North Shaanxi district. Need not say, the living originality of earthy cave dwelling results from certainly the deposit feature with deep loess and arid and cold climate environment, living earth cave dwelling also is place of North Shaanxi person's most primitive the most important make one's home. Earthy cave dwelling can be chosen commonly it is south back slope, face, flow before via an a river, channel, channel back is an a few lower hill, the depression bottom of a slope that what two side environmental sanitation wears still is hill, such positional choice can be achieved take shelter from the wind, heat preservation, concealment, how to prevent, facilitate the effectiveness of a travel. One aperture or kiln of earth of a few aperture form a complete compound, namely an one courtyard. Inside earthy cave dwelling dish heatable adobe sleeping platform sleeps person, sad heatable adobe sleeping platform dish the top of a kitchen range of one party earth, cut of two kitchen fire is made on the top of a kitchen range, find a place for caldron pannikin, the two above passageway below heatable adobe sleeping platform of coupling of kitchen billiard table, two passageways again form a partnership, till bind the chimney on bank of earthy kiln head. Kitchen makes a fire into bavin charcoal in igneous cut, cook, igneous understand kang leaves a passageway, get warm. Stay in the family of earthy kiln to be met commonly the warmer end of kang dish the place that takes the door in earthy kiln, rely on door window closely namely next, in order to facilitate daylighting. Find a place for on kiln cut ligneous door window, window make it the window lattice of all sorts of modelling styles, with hemp paper paste lives, hemp paper lies between wind to lie between dirt, heat preservation is pervious to light. A side of the occasional in door buy, kang relying on a window is buy a side certainly, the door becomes double fan. Letter day swims sing: "The door of double fan fan comes to ground of fan of Yao only leaf leave, call an elder brother hey you are fast come back. " at the same time realistically, one side comparing is promoted. The section celebrates happy day, north Shaanxi woman cuts bright red paper-cut for window decoration, do symmetrical shape to be stuck on the hemp paper of window lattice, the culture of series of earthy cave dwelling that comprises characteristic is artistic. Earthy cave dwelling most appropriate at loess Gao Po, wintry warm summer is cool, heatable adobe sleeping platform accumulates hot heat preservation, sleep firm real firm. My grandmother often speaks of, equestrian sit litter, be inferior to sleeping. The warmer end of kang that grandmother sleeps is head of heatable adobe sleeping platform certainly, grandmother insists to think, certain reality sleeps on head of heatable adobe sleeping platform, bed frame " creak comes loose shake " , sleep the dream that makes on head of heatable adobe sleeping platform is a kind of muddy complete, the dream that makes on bed frame is a kind fragmentary.
Loess has the quality of solid honest and sincere already, the natural disposition on loess ground also is having same pestilence and astringent. Once had said, the Yu that the North Shaanxi of humanitarian meaning points to namely forest the area of city and Yan'an city churchyard, the landforms of North Shaanxi churchyard that such limitting is little discrepant. with looking now: Shedding the county of government office cereal of region with clear water river; The divine wood county of drainage area of drainage area of hole wild river, bald end river; The region of beautiful reed river, Yu that does not have the catchment that decide a river forest county of edge of city, pacify, big area of churchyard of these 4 counties, can saying to go up is true loess plateau, prefectural area has here even piece " Yuan " , the average height above sea level on these Yuan is in 800 -- 1500 meters or so, relief is relatively even, yuan area almost level off, channel is more shallow, fluvial expanse, water natural resources distributings relatively even, rate of establish coverture top is higher, climate is more appropriate also (after system of 3 north shelter-forest sees effect in the round, appeared to retreat the benign loop that grass enters dene, look now so these local zoology environments are first-rate. ) ; The beautiful county of Yellow River bank, Wu Bao county, be in big gorge of advance short for Shaanxi Province, deep gully region, landforms begins to become complex, stone qualitative riverbed is shoreward go up outspread, landforms is given priority to with big hill clough, the valid farmland area inside prefectural region decreases, vegetation is little, climate is dry; And the county deciding an edge that shedding region advanced position without calm river, horizontal hill county, of drainage area of Dali river, little reason river child city county, peaceful heart county, the clear gully county of region of clear gully river, be continuous delay fluvial region to Yan'an city show child long county, city of the county bringing stuff of the catchment that delay a river, Yan'an, lengthen county, Yan Chuan county, the annals red county that still has advanced position of river of boreal the name of a river in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, Wu Qi county, pleasant spring county, retreat almost inside these vast county region changed the basic form of Yuan, these district present Mao of one clique bridge to rise and fall, gully freely, deep trench is narrow Ge is pulled, vegetation is rare be short of, upper and bare, the condition with very serious corrode of wind silkworm rain, the earth's surface of large area is gotten by cut almost a broken up, climate change multiterminal; After entering county of the rich county with downstream river of boreal the name of a river in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, plain of the name of a river in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, Huang Ling county, geography shows the scene on the Yuan on real significance basically again, these prefectural area whole present a Yuan, evenness, capacious, lofty hill decreases, river of boreal the name of a river in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, Zu river, calabash river crosses meantime, wadi under Yuan, wait for tall difference to be in about 5 -- 15 meters, vegetation is basic and good, climate is wetter; Go to along the Yellow River again east the shore leaves, namely the appropriate of region of cloud cliff river the yellow dragon county of region of river of fort of plain county, stone, it is additionally one kind of picture, hill appears again here big channel is deep, continuous fluctuant mountain ridge, deep and long big gorge, because spend development without passing,be only, vegetation is still good, have a share virgin forest and primitive second forest, climate is wetter a few colder.
Cause North Shaanxi major district is modern whole is desolate with barren impressional, should be to result from these " bridge, Mao, channel, big pool " " deep trench is narrow Ge is pulled " stagger geography zoology, these area are a few vaster also. Walk into these area, your popular feeling gives birth to Ai Liang of sorrowful of a Bei, feel a helpless disintegrate. Because a land that visits is full of of Huang Mang boundless and indistinct, what be born scarcely in earth, without the plot of how many level off, water area is fewer. Once had say " a bird not the place of shit. " whole can call chamfer of platform of station of arris of arris of Mao of Mao of Ge Liang Liang, Ge, Ge, Ge, Ge, the villatic name of these district also wait with bridge, Mao, channel, stage, former, fork, bay, tower accordingly name. Have in North Shaanxi folk song " you are on which hill I am in Yao which channel " " wear to the station on that Ge Liang Liang of bank bank who " " 30 lis bright sand 20 lis water, on 50 lis of roads ah Bao ah little sister. " also be these mixed zone appearance the life to people, give travel, affection to cause the tired out that cannot defy, these libretto that convey life variation are actual the form that is method of thought of ego of agglutinate of North Shaanxi person is enjoyable. Because of cogent long-term feeling, north Shaanxi folk song is mixed from the tear at that takes a kind of heart dark dumb, a kind of wild insanity roars, of a kind of spirit without depend on and besides flavour, these moods come out from the growl in full pectoral abdomen, the bleak that declares a thousand years of North Shaanxi person and solemn and stirring, the depression of all ages and the affliction of 1000 generation, north Shaanxi is old little ache folds print between this big hill clough, the bitter situation of North Shaanxi men and women knows well greatly at this between uneven drape, such expression, was to bear with the primitive feature of these geographical zoology itself, knew well greatly of the life gene of the North Shaanxi person that trains from this and culture gene. Be in such in circumstances, is life unripe what to send?
From historical depth, to the parallelism of district, can see, loess ground has gone through catastrophe, not be in one day temporarily, one ground together, refute of full of stains or spots refute combs go well hard, some more exclusive fragmentary account is OK obvious. The chorography when Qing Dynasty carries: "Since military crop failure, sparse of registered permanent residence, swing analyse to leave house, to smooth mood Geng Zi, after carving greatly, smoke door is strange 0, person of earthy free from worries is rare, hard cultural period. " be in early Zhou Qin begins, to Chinese, to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, to Yuan Mingqing, till period of the Republic of China, here becomes edge defend place, open up battlefield, reclamation of wasteland by an army unit stations troops, cultivate land of open up wasteland. Have account: "Border district is obtained n cultivated land very abundant. " " unripe get together day is wide, it is the ground of rich and popular gradually. " the alternate as time, the forest is dangered by fell trees, the meadow is trampled voidance, climate is drier and drier, begin chill little rain, indulge in wilful persecution of all over the sky of sand blown by wind, , , formed the vicious circle of zoology. North Shaanxi, a few district begin to be changed dene, county of cereal resembling government office, divine wood county, pacify edge county stands by occurrence bedding face of Great Wall brim to accumulate desert, form desert of wool black white, arable land area decreases in great quantities; Corrode of rain of eat of wind of a few district, natural environment and climate is much prediction of a person's luck in a given year, land broken up, soil is barren, it is difficult to cultivate, harvest withered, resemble deciding edge, Jing Bian, child fat of city, rice, peaceful county of heart, beautiful, Wu Bao, Qing Jian, child long, Yan Chuan, lengthen, red of Yan'an, An Sai, annals, Wu Qi; And the rich county with distance north further frontier fortress, Luo Chuan, Huang Ling, Huang Long, appropriate plain is close friends a lot of. This is the history true.
Ancient nature evolves already cannot backdate, can chase after in true history narrate cause North Shaanxi desolate with barren historical reason, and chase after narrate historical reason to also pursue the matter that narrated a person to be.
North Shaanxi has doggerel: "Draw out a slope, have a nest check " " a sand outside Yu Lin Cheng " overall look, north Shaanxi district is bedding face the zoology that accumulates a ground type is terrible, bare ground is alled over wild not be term of a fustian absolutely. Grandmother is stranger of smooth mood year end, her first ancestor personal experience crosses such affliction, she is fragmentary also the miserable picture that saw a few involuntary discharge of urine are put, she often mentions photograph of chaos of military crop failure, horse, big drought, flood, locust, famine, person to feed, the dignified of one face and sadness. Of course, cause the has Xian of natural, history, arms reason of North Shaanxi affliction, one kind also be historical development rises and fall, bei is arranged painstakingly natural, how to say, what to say, who can say is make a careful and detailed analysis, dispute clearly again?
