Jianzhuang slogan

On the last day of the National Day holiday, we once again embarked on the flat Taihang Mountain Road. From Yuejiazhai to Hongtiguan, the whole Taihang Mountain is sparsely populated and has become our back garden.

Passing through a small village called Nian 'ao Village, there are only three families here, two are grinding millet and one has opened a farmhouse restaurant. When we entered the village entrance, a family was driving a donkey to grind millet on the roof, women were grinding millet and men were raising fields. I haven't seen this scene for many years, and it suddenly brought back my childhood memories. At that time, we lived like this. Autumn is so long. When we were at school, we had more than 40 days of autumn vacation. Pupils must organize the autumn harvest and do almost all farm work.

The whole village saw three families, two of which were grinding millet. One is a traditional donkey pulling stones around the threshing floor on the roof, the other is grinding millet back and forth on the road with an agricultural tricycle, and the third is busy decorating his farmhouse.

These farm tools are so friendly now that I remember the scene when everyone was grinding flour in the mill when I was a child.

His house is just below the scene, and this is his roof. There is no flat land in the whole village. A huge jujube tree at the entrance of the village is flourishing, which shows the antiquity of the mountain village. More than ten kinds of fitness equipment are arranged in a small village square, which adds the modern atmosphere of the mountain village.

The other family turned around. The cave composed of three stones is tall and majestic, and each stone has been carefully carved. Next to it is a modern two-story building, which is a farmhouse hotel.

Walking down the village path, there is a stone mill under a steep cliff, which may be the reason for the name of the village.

The path at the entrance of the village is paved with big stones. This road has a history of at least several hundred years. Before the Taihang Mountain Highway paved above the village is completed, the only way out of the village here should be this road. You can only walk and shoulder. It takes at least a day or even a few days to get out of the mountain. Perhaps the nearest place is Rencun Town in Linzhou.

This cliff reminds me of the stone carvings on the top of Mount Tai. It is like a tablet without words, recording the history of mountain roads.

Below is Rainbow Gorge. When you leave the village, you must go out along the Rainbow Gorge, and then you will reach Rencun Town in Linzhou.

What is the head of this stone? Natural art works.

The flowers on these stones are naturally formed, and as time goes on, the traces left by microorganisms continue to grow. Much like a gorgeous tiger.

At present, there is still some emerald green on the tree, which will turn yellow and red in a few days, so now the leaves are like flowers, and it has been missed for another year.

After finishing, the small village is very quiet, stone village, full of life breath, but also with original breath.

There is an inn here.

When we came, we wanted to find some water. We think that all the villages on the top of this mountain may take water from the foot of the mountain to eat, or all the rainwater is accumulated on the mountain. After arriving in this small village, there is a water pipe connected here, which leads out from the mountain spring.

When communicating with the villagers, I heard that their accents were the same as ours. It turns out that their ancestors also came from Linzhou. Their hometown is Jianzhuang Village, Rencun Town, Linzhou, which came from Grandpa's generation. This small village may be a descendant of their family. Linzhou has been fleeing to Shanxi since ancient times, and has been here since Jianzhuang, along the Rainbow Gorge.

During the war and famine years, people from the plains fled to the mountains. The depths of this forest have not suffered from war. In times of drought, mountains can support a family. Here, some wasteland is reclaimed, and some potatoes and corn are planted to get a year's rations. At that time, it was good to be alive, and the inconvenient transportation became a safety barrier. Now it has become the object of poverty alleviation, and it is so inconvenient here in good years and prosperous times. The slogans here are all poverty alleviation slogans, and the first problem is how to get rid of poverty and get rich.

Only some old people over the age of 50 or 60 are left in these mountain villages, and young people have gone out to work. They all moved down the hill because their children went to school. Maybe in a few years, this place will be completely abandoned.
