Lan Xi talked about "cold dock" one day

This morning, let’s talk about “Lengwu in the Mountains”.

In the northern area of ??Lanxi, there are many villages named Yuan, Wu, Tang and Xi. There are Muchengyuan, Banyuan, Yuankou, Xintangyuan and Xiliyuan in several mountain ridges in Majian Town; at the foot of Shanlongmen Mountain in Meijiang Town, there are Dayuan, Banyuan and Heshangyuan. and Liuyuan, and Xiamayuan; at the foot of Guanshan Mountain in Hengxi Town, there is Tangwu (Tanhu), etc. The villages named Tang are usually located in Longkou, such as Datang in Majian Town, Xihu Tang in Meijiang Town, Didangxia in Shibu, and Xitangxia in Hengxi Town. There are even more villages named Xi. All the way down from the source of Meixi River, there are Shuangxikou, Hengxi (Guoqing, Xinsheng Village), Xikouzhou, Wangshaxi, and even the stone pier. Without streams and ponds, where would the pier be?

Zhu Muqing, a folk cultural worker in Jiande City, wrote a long article called "Talk about Source Culture" that I couldn't put down. Starting from the origin, he discussed the origin, origin, and origin culture, and wrote down in detail the strong character of the mountain people and the rebellious spirit of Chen Shuozhen, the "first queen of China" during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Fang La of the Northern Song Dynasty. The power of persuasion is extremely powerful. But there is one thing that he and I have different views on, and that is the relationship between Yuan and Long. In my opinion, Shanlong Bureau seems to be larger, almost as long as the Longzhong River, while the source, dock and pond are relatively smaller. In other words, the ridge is the mother body, the stream is the bloodline, and the source, dock, and pond are the children of the ridge.

The water follows the ridge, and people live by the water. A mountain stream often forms a ridge road, rather than a "source road". Mountain streams have lengths, and ridges also have depth and size. A mountain ridge often has several sources and dozens of docks. The deep one is the source and the shallow one is the dock. The valley shape is longer than the source and the shorter one is the dock. In Meijiang dialect, a dock is a concave (ao) pond or a pit (pronounced kan). Therefore, the tip of Tuanjie Village is also a dock. Of course, dock is opposite to ridge, which means hill.

Don’t underestimate the mountains, especially Yuanhewu, where everything is available: firewood, rice, oil and salt. Chai, needless to say. rice, because the villages located deep in the mountains do not need to hand over surplus grain, and the country may still have food distribution. The oil is rapeseed oil, which is yellow in color. During the difficult period of three years from 1958 to 1960, pretty girls from Datianfan ran to the mountains one by one, which spoiled the young men in the mountains. In 2012, Zheng, the boss of the newspaper, and I were at the foot of Hongyan Mountain in Majian Town, and we found a thin, middle-aged woman who was extremely frail and did not look like a mountain person at all. When I asked, I found out that she was from Xiangxi by the Lanjiang River. Because of the food shortage, she voluntarily married into the mountains. She was particularly sentimental when talking about this incident.

Ten miles have different styles, and hundreds of miles have different customs. Each mountain range has its own cultural customs, including dialects, living and production customs, etc. Although the difference is small, there is a difference after all. For example, in the Meijiang dialect, the young man is called Xiao Housheng, but the little boy is called Xiao Guiding. Similarly, the older girl is called Nannan, and the little girl is called Xiaopi (bie) Nan.

Although the rural customs are different, the mountain topography is still relatively consistent. Let me list a few.

Mountain landform characteristics -

1. Terraces. It is the land that farmers have carved out on the hillside, following the terrain of the hillside.

2. Horseshoe field. They are scattered hillsides shaped like horseshoes. Too bad I can't find any decent pictures to illustrate.

I have modified Zhu Muqing’s words to summarize the article.

——Countless mountains form the tributary network of the Meixi River Basin, covering the entire basin like the large and small nerves and blood vessels of the human body, continuously transporting nutrients to the Lanjiang River. Lanjiang culture is nurtured and nurtured in these countless mountains. The "Long culture" generated from the mountains is the cell and foundation of Lanjiang culture. To study Lanjiang culture and Lanxi culture, we must deeply analyze and vigorously study Long culture.
