Paintings in the depths of the mountains

The road leading to Longji terraced fields, the real mountain road is eighteen bends. Turn around, the traffic is a little bumpy. Dabao, the tour guide, is a young Zhuang boy with strong physique and dark skin. He is good at singing, cold and humorous. A car full of people relaxed and happy in Dabao's explanation while talking and singing. A few hours' drive is not so painful for me who often gets carsick, perhaps because of such a relaxed atmosphere.

While waiting for the bus in the tourist center, I stood in the dam deep in this mountain, pacing around and looking at this strange place with my heart.

At this time, the sky is drizzling like a flower. If not, the air is humid. The mountains in early April are full of fresh, fresh green, fresh leaves and fresh air. ...

Mountains surround the tourist center. The visitor center is not particularly large. It is a wooden house built on the mountain. The main building has two floors, with natural logs and typical ethnic customs. Dashan, hugging people from all over the world in such a simple way, seems to say: welcome back.

I wonder what people from afar are thinking. But one thing is certain, that is, everyone who comes here is for the most beautiful scenery in his heart.

Yes, the Longji terraced fields in Guangxi are the most beautiful scenery in my heart. I was amazed when I first saw the landscape introduction about Longji terraced fields. As a result, the spectacular terraced fields have become a lingering painting, flowing in front of my eyes from time to time.

Longji Terrace is located in Longji Mountain, Ping 'an Village, Longji Town, Longsheng Autonomous County, Guangxi, 22 kilometers away from the county seat and 80 kilometers away from downtown Guilin.

Terraces, literally, are stepped farmland built on slopes. Terraced fields are no strangers to me when I was playing and running on straw as a child. However, all I see are scattered fields, one in the east and the other in the west. No scale, no climate. I never thought that I would be infatuated with a terraced field, and I would climb mountains and mountains because of a field.

When I finally stood on the observation deck at the top of the mountain, the whole scenic spot spread out in front of me like a huge oil painting, so unreal that it was almost suffocating. For a time, all adjectives quickly assembled in my mind, but I couldn't find the best and most appropriate one, so I could only say: beauty! How beautiful!

Because of the rain, smoke and fog are intertwined in the distance, like dreaming in Yaochi. Mist and gauze give the whole scenic spot the feeling that she is still hiding half her face in front of us behind the guitar. White mist flows on the mountainside, graceful and ethereal, as if the whole mountain is floating with the fog, as if the whole stockade is floating.

In front of our eyes, the terraced fields are rising like floods and rushing like avalanches, winding up along the hillside from the foot of the mountain to the vast sea of clouds. Hundreds of terraces are coiled layer by layer from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with scattered heights and sparse distances, forming a huge terrace group, which is invincible and unstoppable. The flowing lines are charming, magnificent, and beautiful. This rough and primitive beauty shakes every cell of the body and soul.

Past wooden diaojiao buildings, lying on the hillside, are scattered and orderly integrated with the mountains, quiet, elegant and picturesque. In the clouds, you can't tell whether the mountain is hugging the village or the village is sleeping in the arms of the mountain. No matter which angle you look at the surrounding terraces from the mountainside, the bottom of the valley or the top of the mountain, it is like a dragon entering the sea of clouds and a fairyland on earth. At this time, language is redundant. You just need to look at the beautiful picture in front of you, breathe gently and feel the experience from all the senses of your body quietly. You will be eager to blend into this beauty, into the mountains, into the buildings, into the vegetation, into every inch of the atmosphere here.

Speaking of terraces, most people are familiar with them. We have all seen some terraced fields in our life, but it is the first time for me to see such a real scene as Longji. From fast-flowing valleys to white clouds-filled peaks, from lush forest edges to steep cliffs, terraces have been opened up wherever there is mud.

Terraces are distributed between ridges at an altitude of 300 meters to 1 100 meters with a drop of 800 meters. The first terrace extends along the mountain to the clouds, just like the first ladder climbing the blue sky. Every step brings us closer to the blue sky. Walking in this huge world, people are so small and so real. People from all over Qian Shan come here only for the beautiful scenery in their hearts, and everyone here has become the scenery in that painting. Those people scattered in the terraced fields one by one make this painting more stereoscopic, agile and full of breath.

Longji Terrace is divided into two parts from east to west: Jinkeng Yao Hong Terrace and Pinganzhuang Terrace. Because of the different mountains, it presents different poetic meanings. The platform is like a moving dragon, leaping over a long slope, elegant and magnificent, with an omnipotent wild power. Due to the steep terrain of Jinkeng terraces, there are many long and narrow terraces, which are like willow leaves and eyebrows, charming and feminine, regardless of distance, with extremely rich levels. The north and south are like double walls, which constitute the ultimate beauty in the depths of this mountain.

Beautiful mountains breed beautiful Zhuang and Yao nationalities. Generation after generation of Zhuang Yao people live in the embrace of the surrounding green hills, men plow and women weave, facing the loess, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, walking on this ladder. Generations of Zhuang Yao people have sprinkled their feelings on this land, their hopes on this Yuan Ye, and their mountains have been sung in every field here. And the mountains, year after year, year after year, reward them with bumper harvest, fruitful results and joy.

According to Baidu data, Longji Terrace has a history of at least 2,300 years and is known as the hometown of terraced fields in the world. I can't imagine what kind of sweat and sweat the first batch of Zhuang and Yao people who arrived in Longji more than 2,300 years ago paid in the face of the deep mountains in front of them. Human beings have never lacked wisdom, and the more they face challenges, the more hearty their wisdom is. The ancestors of Zhuang and Yao built dikes according to different topography and geology, firmly believing that the water is as high as the mountain, and cultivated the first terrace with the most primitive slash and burn, with extraordinary perseverance and extraordinary wisdom.

Standing here is like a fairyland on earth, I want to ask: Have you ever thought that the terraced fields you cultivated with blood and sweat will become masterpieces of art? As nature painters, with your blood and wisdom, you drew a crucial first stroke on this vast land. Layers of terraces are annual rings. The ancestors of the Zhuang and Yao nationalities for generations painted the miracle of the world and the eternal picture here, and blessed future generations. If you know, you will stand in the clouds with a smile and continue to bless this landscape for generations to come.

The mist cleared away and the faint sunshine sprinkled on the terraced fields. This season, most of the terraces have been watered, and the terraces in the sun are like leaping dragons, and countless dragons gather into a dragon ready to go. A small number of terraces are green, vibrant and a little green, like a dragon ornament.

Villagers are scattered in the fields in twos and threes, sowing food and hope. The way they bent down to work was full of awe of the land. I know, they have a grand traditional festival: the seedling combing festival. Generally, before and after the awning every year, it is the annual seedling combing festival. The villagers burned incense and offered sacrifices to their mothers, singing and dancing, gongs and drums were loud, and the sound of suona resounded through the sky. In Qi Huan, a small village in Dazhai, ten thousand people prayed for good weather and collectively planted the hope of golden autumn. Accompanied by the seedling combing festival, there are a series of folk programs. The scene of the festival is unprecedented, but it is a pity that we failed to catch up with this grand festival and get a glimpse of it.

Many tourists who came with me in the same car went back the same way after walking on the Ping 'an terraced fields. Panshan Highway really needs physical strength and endurance. And most of them think that no matter which scenic spot it is, it is a terrace. It's good to see it.

I don't want to come back like this after riding for so long and walking so far, leaving regrets. A person continues to walk in the direction of Jinkeng terraces, and from time to time he meets tourists coming from Jinkeng to peace.

Come and travel whenever you want, and many people want to experience it thoroughly without regret. Yes, the beauty of this world, once in a while, may only be met once in a lifetime, how can it be easily missed.

Along the way, I kept using the camera to freeze the beautiful scenery. However, the camera's viewing angle is limited, and no matter how you shoot it, you can't shoot the beauty of the dragon ridge. I can only walk slowly, watch quietly, feel the beauty created by hundreds of ancestors of Zhuang Yao, and then put this beautiful pattern in my heart, let the years slowly brush away the dust.

I believe that everyone who has been to Longji terraced fields will be shocked by this magnificent and extraordinary beauty. There must be countless words and feelings in their hearts.

Before coming, a friend told me that the beauty of Longji terraced fields belongs to the four seasons. If you go in different seasons, you will see different beauty. Yes, Yuan Ye best embodies the beauty of the four seasons. I believe that in the staggered time series, Longji terraces must have the most colorful spring, summer, autumn and winter.

In this season, everything germinates, the mountains are green, the bees fly and the butterflies dance, and the wild flowers bloom. This is the time for spring sowing. The water is full of Longji terraces, and the tenderness is full. Water endows Longji terraced fields with infinite aura, and the first-class terraced fields are like silver mirrors left in the sky, unpredictable and graceful. Layers of terraces are plated with spring, spring, shade and density. The sky echoes the earth from a distance, and the sun shines on the terraces. Smart and soft breath is added to the body through bathing, reaching the softest place in the heart, making the hard heart melt into water, fog and smoke. I'm thinking that when all the terraces are filled with water, if they catch up with the moonlit night, the rows of terraces will reflect hundreds of moons. The moonlight is like water, wrapped in silver.

It doesn't take many brain cells to imagine the dragon ridge in summer. First-class terraces, green seedlings everywhere, look at the beauty of the mountain. After the wind, thousands of seedlings are swaying and crawling, and the wave-like curve rises again and again, as beautiful as it will be. Tian Yang, Qingshan and Guzhai are integrated and reflect each other. Sitting in the field, listening to frogs, insects and birds, a gust of grass came with the breeze. Will it be like a dream?

Autumn is the season of colors. The autumn of Longji should be more colorful. Imagine, pieces of golden rice are rolling in like a frenzy, unstoppable. Is a terraced field dancing like a golden snake in the sun and the mountain wind? Daoxiang, villagers' laughter and the beautiful scenery of terraced fields complement each other. What a vivid and spectacular three-dimensional picture.

And winter huts, like these mountains, are quiet and safe. Day after day, only the smoke from kitchen chimneys rises. However, if there is a snow, the dragon ridge will be lit up in an instant. Snowflakes are falling on the terraced fields. The terraces are as white as ribbons and as holy as Hada. This plain is white, winding, winding, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and extending from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. What a clean world it is. All the dust in the world is washed here, and all desires in people's hearts are removed here. It's really neat.

Dragon Ridge, cloud shadows caress Diaojiaolou, water and light reflect mountains, terraces stretch out to the sky, and folk songs line up. Heaven, earth and people are integrated into one, and a beautiful painting is silent and seamless.

We often say: Take the farthest road and see the most beautiful scenery. Thanks to the world, there is such a calm beauty. Thanks to this land, beautiful, simple and natural. Longji terraces, too far away, are all paintings. You don't need any skills, just be gentle, convenient and picturesque.
