In the name of summer, I have a "famous date" in Gulang.

Inscription: No matter how I remember those summers awakened by peony flowers, how they were written into travel notes. With the arrival of peony flowers in the next summer, amid waves of childlike joy around, the peony-red hillside under the snow peak in Qilian still makes people dream and yearn.

At this time of summer, pear flower falls died, the peony lost, and even the Shan Ye flowers on Qilian Mountain left a withered figure in people's lingering eyes, silent in the vast mountains.

Prosperous. In the mountains of Gulang, there is such a place. On the winding hillside, peony flowers are delicate and charming, making the whole Shan Ye red, surging with waves of red waves. Remember it as soon as you see it, and you can't forget it for a long time.

No, when I was drinking and chatting with my friends tonight, the flower sea jumped out inadvertently, so I had a trip to enjoy peony flowers in Gulang Liutiao River two days later.

I remember that it was Thursday, and I frequently connected several mobile phones before dawn in the morning. When four cars 17 people met at the intersection of Wuwei Expressway, the hour hand just pointed to 5: 40.

At this time, the crown of the east has been opened pink? In the curtain, the glow gradually changed from light red to deep red, and on the deep red, it seemed to be lightly smudged by a genius pen. From shallow to deep, from shallow to deep, countless colorful ribbons are deduced, and immortals dance in the wind.

Soon, these ribbons slowly lifted a red sun from the horizon, hanging obliquely in front of us like Weiya, burning like a fireball, and the golden light was scattered on our speeding car.

We covered with rosy clouds, drove about 40 kilometers on the G30 Expressway, and then drove for more than ten kilometers on the township road, and arrived at Huahai-Liutiaohe Village, Gu Feng Town, Gulang County.

Speaking of Gulang, in my impression, it has always been the next desolate county in Qilian Mountain, which is close to the desert and is extremely short of water, so it is the feat of sand control by Liu Laohan in Eight Steps.

This place used to be short of food, so people here have been trying to get food from all the places they can think of for a long time, whether it is flat land, grassland or castle peak.

Especially in that era when food was the key link, the fragile ecology was basically destroyed in the inherent thinking of not letting people starve. The most typical place is a small mountain village called Suancigou. It belongs to Qilian Mountain, and it is a place that lives by the mountain. The mountains are covered with green grass, lush vegetation and virgin forests. After liberation, one side of the mountain was allocated to Suancigou Village in Gulang County, and the other side was allocated to Suancigou Village in Tianzhu County. The trees and vegetation in Gulang have been cut down for a long time and turned into Zhaizhai Tongshan. Due to the worship of mountain gods by ethnic minorities, the virgin forests and vegetation on the mountain have been well protected for a long time and become a paradise, which is beautiful.

Xue Mo, a native writer in Wuwei, once mentioned the past life of Gulangyu Village in his book "Hot Blood and Covered Soil".

Liutiaohe Village, where peony flowers are located, is located under Qilian Mountain, which is relatively partial. I came here with my donkey friends a few years ago and haven't seen many foreigners.

Later, thousands of acres of rape flowers were planted on the wicker rivers and mountains, and more and more people came. Later, peony flowers were planted, and more people appreciated them. This place locked in the mountains is gradually known to outsiders.

Strangely, Qilian Mountain winds from Tianzhu at the eastern end to the west for more than 800 kilometers. After the ancient waves, only a mountain range the size of Liuhe was left, which was only three or five kilometers long from east to west, and the rest belonged to Tianzhu, regardless of its east or west.

This geographical attribute has caused a very interesting phenomenon here.

Belonging to the snow-capped mountains of Tianzhu Plateau in Tibet, plants seem to have tenacious vitality beyond our imagination. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, no matter the environmental deterioration, the native plants have survived in the game with the harsh nature.

Whether it is virgin forest, alpine meadow or flowers in Shan Ye, through the constant adaptation of their bodies in the alternation of four seasons, with little human participation, they have stubbornly overcome all unfavorable natural disasters, preserved the original natural state and presented a beautiful natural picture.

In this case, you will obviously feel that there seems to be an invisible hand between alpine plants and the cold environment. They no longer compete with each other and settle down with each other, thus achieving reconciliation between natural systems.

This mountain range belongs to Liutiaohe Village in Gulang. Although the original vegetation on the peak is still green, the original vegetation on the hillside below the peak has been replaced by pieces of farmland of different sizes, which is deeply branded with the mark of human intervention in nature. This is wheat, rape, peony and ...

I don't mean to evaluate the choices of Han and Tibetan aborigines on the mountains where they live. I just thought the two were more fun, so I said it smoothly.

As the name implies, Liutiaohe Village is named after a river called Liutiaohe. The rivers in Qilian Mountain are different from those in our ordinary sense, and most of them are composed of some gullies and forks. The water in them flows intermittently, mainly due to the melting of snow and ice on the mountain and rainy weather.

For example, the wicker river originated from the snow water in Leigong Mountain and Niutouwa Mountain in Tianzhu County. Fortunately, the water flow in the ditch was good, so it was stopped by the local authorities and the Liutiaohe Reservoir was built, which became another scenic spot in this village. This is another story.

This road is near the front of the village. The road forms a natural boundary here, separating the village from the mountain. Peony flowers are planted on the hillside in front of the village, and the locals call this mountain Liudaogou.

This is a relatively independent mountain. On the other side of Miancun, the mountain peak is abrupt, and there are several huge stones on the peak, which look steady, have no intention of falling, and do not feel the danger of falling rocks.

The peak beside the rock is covered with emerald shrubs and grass, leaving no gaps. There is no dark green virgin forest in Qilian Mountain, but there are some scattered trees, which are taller than shrubs and have extremely lush branches and leaves, like several bright green flags, waving to us frequently under the encouragement of mountain wind.

At the top of the mountain, from top to bottom, the hillside slowly extended downward after a steep trend, and stopped abruptly at the roadside in front of the highland at the foot of the mountain more than ten meters above the highway.

This hillside is a bit like a huge irregular plastic shed, arranged from east to west. This arrangement forms a series of gradually changing peaks, and every two peaks are just connected to a valley, which is exactly six. Therefore, the local people call this mountain Liudaogou.

On the hillside of Liudaogou, every ditch is not obvious after being covered by vegetation, and all of them are round. Some have great curvature, some have small curvature, and they are stable and winding. When the mountain wind blows, there is a faint feeling of movement. Just like Artest's master qi, when he is asleep, he will quietly set his horse stance, and when he dances, he will slow down his heart and roll away slowly. There is stillness in motion, stillness in motion and stillness in motion, which has become the most distinctive feature of Liudaogou.

Behind Liudaogou is the real Qilian Snow Mountain-Leigong Mountain, which is more than twice as high as Liudaogou. Walking on the highway, you can see it from a distance.

In front of Leigong Mountain, a small river flows to the wicker river. According to the trend of the river, an asphalt road will be built along the river, leading to the grass beach of Xiulong in Tianzhu Bamboo Stream in the east and to Haxi Town in Tianzhu in the west. Here, rivers and highways form a natural boundary, separating Leigong Mountain from Liudaogou.

Strangely, however, the vegetation of these two separated mountains is strikingly similar. Obviously, they have the same genes. I don't know where the hillside behind Liudaogou is. I hope to keep the original natural state and stop being tossed around.

Because, no matter how divided, or isolated from time to time like a child, Liudaogou will always merge into the majestic and vast Qilian Mountain, which is a part of Qilian Mountain National Park.

A cement parking lot was built at the foot of Liudaogou Mountain. We didn't finish it when we arrived, and we piled a lot of sand and gravel. From the parking lot to the peony sea, you need to take the wooden ladder for tourists to walk. The stairs are under construction, but the steps have been repaired. While standing on the wooden steps, we avoided the construction workers and lived in peace.

Above the stairs, a new antique gatehouse is located at the top. Simple overhanging buildings seem to fall from the sky and hang from the top, and people who appreciate flowers have to look up. But you can't see mountains and flowers. The gatehouse seems to be embedded in the sky frame, and only the unique blue sky of the plateau can be seen through the gatehouse.

On the plaque of the gatehouse, there are four golden characters "The Covenant of Famous Peony", which inevitably reminds people of the charming posture of peony in full bloom and the reluctance of people when they meet flowers.

Through the gatehouse? A breeze blew. Refreshing and refreshing, with a cold meaning, forcing the skin to accept. With short sleeves, I can't help but put my hand on my bare arm and feel it. It seems that my heart is warm.

Extreme? Looking around, the sky is blue as jade. Several white clouds are like canoes, boating in the sky. The vast mountains, covered with a layer of summer green, went from shallow to deep in the gentle breeze, and gradually disappeared from our sight as the mountain went west.

Look down? At night, the dark asphalt road winds through the village. On the north side of the road, dozens of houses are neatly located on the flat ground. There is no cock crow, no pig barking, and the occasional dog barking is a scarce sound, as if chewing out the flavor of the country.

A white yurt stands next to the house, and there is a simple leisure park such as a mountain villa for temporary reception of tourists.

The top of Liudaogou Mountain is green in one color, and it is full of green in summer. When the sun rises slowly in the morning and sprinkles the golden sunshine on the green, the green fields are bathed in warm breath.

I saw that a touch of green was slowly impregnated, like a noble bride, wearing a thin green gauze and a long green leaf dress, graceful.

Breeze blowing, originally quiet and beautiful green, but playing in the teasing of mountain wind and sunshine, a moment of light green, a moment of dark green, a moment of dark green, enjoying themselves in the blue waves.

But that touch of green always feels that the vicissitudes of Qilian Mountain wrapped in summer green are missing, and it looks more like wheat growing well in the depths of the mountains, which is extremely bright. That kind of bright green is very different from the natural Qilian Mountain green style, as if from two worlds.

Because of the steep terrain, I can't see it. I don't know whether the green here is native or cultivated artificially.

In any case, green is holding a condescending posture, like a surging green wave, bursting out according to the mountain trend, not afraid of rocks, and having a great impact on our heads.

Until the peony at the foot of the mountain intercepted this green wave with a red wave.

I saw a 2250-mu peony flower quietly blooming on the terrace under the green slope.

Terraces, also built on the mountain, are connected in turn, with fields in the slope and slopes in the fields, and the distinction is not obvious. On each step, a large space is trimmed, flat or inclined, layer upon layer, descending the mountain, like a ladder with a red carpet. One end of it is placed on the green hillside above, and the other end is connected with the ladder. The delicate flowers and the bright green of the hillside meet perfectly here, just like a beautiful natural picture scroll.

On the hillside? Tuan Tuan,? Clusters of peony flowers are in full bloom, red, pink and charming, which makes every nerve of us extremely excited, and everyone's eyes are full of picturesque poetry. Therefore, every place exudes a unique fragrance. Everything is like soaking Liudaogou in honey wine brewed with flowers.

So many beautiful women got drunk, lost the direction of cruising, walked around inexplicably, as if suffering from selection disorder, and entered a short-term choice confusion.

Fortunately, I didn't think much, and everyone poured into the nearby peony flowers. The handsome guy in the same trade is ok, just looking around. Beautiful women are different, some pout and gently kiss the flowers, once the sweetness comes to mind. Some rubbed the flowers with their cheeks and let them touch them, like those gentle hands in a dream, bringing a faint fragrance in memory. Some hold flowers, close their eyes, pray silently and fantasize, ...

At this time, several butterflies flew in, playing and flapping in the flowers, flying around. A few bold people, who don't seem to like the tenderness between us and the flowers, deliberately danced around us, but they were also quite pleasing. But when we approached, it spread its wings and flew to other places, leaving only its beautiful shadow in our minds, and we have not recovered.

I looked at the flying butterfly and thought, how comfortable this elf is. If only people could be as free as it is, without worries and worries, but only interested in pursuing their free time.

That's right. Don't entertain foolish ideas here, don't live up to this great era. Thinking of this layer, I sorted out my thoughts and studied the peony flowers carefully.

At the foot of peony flowers forty or fifty centimeters high, the dense branches are covered with green leaves. Among the leaves, the pink petals split, thin pieces, one layer, two layers, three layers, gracefully staggered. After the wind blew, they burst into charming smiles with excitement.

A few beautiful women have been fascinated by flowers, so they simply lie on their sides in the flower field, holding flowers in one hand and their heads in the other, burying their bodies in the flowers, squinting, and intoxicated with flower infatuation.

In this way, we wandered around the sea of flowers for a long time, and it was estimated that all the photos were taken, and then we set foot on the westernmost hillside.

Standing on the western hillside, looking east, the ups and downs of the six slopes are another scene.

On the hillside, waves of red waves roll in, sometimes fall, sometimes surge, as if to drown the whole mountain, so gorgeous that people can't breathe.

This reminds me of the first time I saw flowers. I remember standing in this position at that time. I saw a red sun rising from the horizon, and the glow reflected the sky and the peony sea.

At that moment, the red sky and the red peony sea merged into one mass, arousing a dense red wave, which was higher and higher and more charming than each other. It's fascinating!

With my simple knowledge, I really can't find the right words to express that scene. I feel that Xia Guang smeared the peony flower again, making it more hazy and imaginative.

I suddenly feel like drinking a pot of wine, chewing in a pair of misty eyes and asking myself: Is this true?

So it instantly reminds me of a passage in A Dream of Red Mansions in which Han Xiangyun was drunk and slept with peony: "..., if you see Xiangyun lying on the stone platform in a secluded place on the rock, your career will be full of fragrance and dreams. Peony flowers flew in all directions, and red incense scattered all over his face and skirt. The fan in her hand fell to the ground, half buried by fallen flowers, surrounded by a group of bees and butterflies, and she wrapped a bag of peony petals as a pillow with a ragweed handkerchief. ……"。

At that time, my wife who was traveling with me was also infected by the dreamlike sea of flowers and jumped into the sea of flowers reflected by the sun's light with excitement. She didn't forget to urge me to quickly use the camera to freeze the moment of good time, for fear of missing that good time.

Compared with Shi Xiangyun's vivid image of a pure, beautiful and innocent girl, his wife at that time actually lived in a girl's heart.

There are also several peasant women wrapped in colorful flower towels and busy in the flower fields. As far as they are concerned, peony is more concerned about the rhizome of peony, which is a well-known Chinese medicine that can relieve spasms and relieve pain.

In fact, peony flowers can also drink tea if they are dried in the shade. When drinking, take a teaspoon of dried petals and brew with boiling water. It can be mixed with rock sugar, honey, green tea and brown sugar to nourish blood and regulate menstruation, and treat liver-qi disorder.

Out of the flower field, out of the entrance of a thousand acres of flower sea, two words on a boulder-flower rhyme, explain our mood at this time.

Out of the flower sea, we went back the same way. When going down the stairs, tourists come up from time to time In the parking lot, there are still several people in the same trade who have not come down and continue to wander in the sea of flowers. I think, just like peony flowers, it is inevitable to say goodbye in the face of this situation.
