Tianshui is a unique land of geomantic omen on the desert loess plateau. Weihe River and Hulu River pass through the city. On both sides of the city are loess slopes with plateau characteristics. Locals call it a mountain, but it is actually a flat mountain with no peaks. Trees are sparsely planted on the hillside, which looks ridiculous. But it is such a place, if you haven't heard of it, how heartless it will be, because it is the hometown of Fuxi Nuwa, the ancestor of China. If you've heard of it but haven't been there, it's floating, because it's the birthplace of Chinese civilization. It's a pity if you always want to go but never succeed.
From Xi to Xianyang and Baoji, you can reach Tianshui soon.
In late spring, in Tianshui city, flowers are tender, camphor trees are fragrant, and phoenix trees are lush, which is a beautiful scene in the south of the Yangtze River. The soul of Tianshui lies not in the misty rain of Maiji Mountain, graceful and ingenious cave murals, the hometown of Qin Shihuang, Fuxi, Li Yuan, Li Guang, Jiang Wei and Li Bai, but in the birthplace of Fuxi, who established a system suitable for human survival and development, thus opening a long Chinese civilization.
fuxi temple
Ancient Tianshui City is divided into five cities, one of which is Fuxi City, and there is Fuxi Temple, which once occupied a quarter of the city, including the city gate, the Yimen, the Congenital Hall, the Taiji Hall and the Jianyi Pavilion in the backyard. Because it was destroyed many times, there is only so much left. There are towering cypresses in the temple, and birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. Under the hall, in the corridor, and on the beams of the roof, dragons are decorated, like a dragon winding around until the hall is just at the top. It is very different from all the temples and palaces I have ever seen. This is a room with blue tiles and purple eaves. On the roof, two jade dragons are relatively coiled, and the dragons are supported by green and yellow flowers. There are flowers carved on the window lattice and door panel, but I prefer flowers painted under the eaves, orchids, plums and tea leaves, such as flowers in the fairy garden, which make people forget their worries. The whole Tai Hao Palace is solemn, quaint, solemn and peaceful. Really, only immortals can live in this sapphire palace.
There is a Fuxi statue in the main hall, and the heart is sincere and awe-inspiring. The top of the hall is painted with the eight diagrams created by Fuxi, with the river map below and the screen on the right, which is an easy painting process. Below is the Xuanwu of Qinglong White Tiger Suzaku, with unearthed chimes. Listening to the copper wind chimes jingling under the eaves of the spring breeze, time has become long.
From building a hall, you can see the houses in Houshan, and you can also know a little about the customs of the Loess Plateau. There are deep gullies on two loess slopes. You can't pass them, but I can't pass them. I can see it, but it's not close, so I think there will be a trip to heaven, and the flowers in the northwest will shout at the top of their lungs. On the lonely road, we will talk together.
There are four pillars in the square in front of the temple, which are used by foreigners and have 28 nights, but I don't understand them at all.
Tianshui, Fuxi Temple, semi-dry Weihe River, wide riverbed and surrounding mountains make people kind, gentle and inorganic.
At night, raindrops came from places where it didn't like to rain, and fell asleep in my sleep.
Tianshui snacks
Tianshui is humanistic, but also life and interesting.
Originally, I wanted to stay in Tianshui for one night and then watch the train to Lanzhou or Yinchuan as planned, but I didn't want to leave. My son was a little tired and didn't want to go any further, but I wanted to rest here, so I decided to stay here for another night.
Snacks are the best display of local lifestyle and living conditions. The food here is light, but it is different from that in Zhejiang. It is light, salt-free, oil-free and seasoning-free, while the food in Tianshui is delicious.
A dish is called shredded pork. I thought it was steamed stuffed bun when I saw a piece of dough covered on it, but later I said it wasn't. The proprietress said it was interesting, and said, "This dish is very strong, and foreigners are not used to it." Seems very honest. I asked, "What's that smell?" The proprietress couldn't say it for a long time. The little daughter next to her was thirteen or fourteen years old and said "seafood smells good" and "Oh, I like it". Actually, it's just a little shrimp. It was a little strange at first, but the more you eat, the better you taste. Completely penetrated into the meat, with an endless aftertaste and a little durian flavor. I asked the proprietress how to do it, and she said it was a local way to eat. She added bean curd and steamed it slowly. Bad meat is added to the red edge.
There are many kinds of snacks, and there are more than a dozen kinds of cakes. Buy all kinds of cakes and try them. There are many buns with different fillings, but the most famous "Guanzhong Boiling" can be seen everywhere.
You can also make dozens of kinds of noodles, divided into large and small bowls, and the small bowl is much bigger than the big bowl in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which shows that the northwest people are really simple.
Tianshui museum
Dadiwan Site in Qin 'an County, Tianshui is one of the most representative prehistoric cultural sites in China. From 8220 to 7330, the six wonders of Chinese civilization were created, namely, the earliest specimens of dry crops, the earliest painted pottery, the earliest prototypes of figures, the earliest palace-style buildings, the earliest "concrete" floors and the earliest paintings unearthed.
Today, a large number of precious cultural relics unearthed in Tianshui area are displayed in Tianshui Museum. I chose a few I like, among which the green glazed puppy is my favorite.
Mr. Ma Weidou said that these painted pottery piles were in every farmer's house next to Majiayao cultural site in Gansu, and I didn't see them either, because I didn't go in either, but I found that they were really similar to the pottery pieces I found.
My trip to Tianshui is coming to an end I am very attached to it, but I am just a passer-by, coming in a hurry, but I am reluctant to go, saying that I have entered Tianshui, but I know that I can't glimpse a little knowledge, let alone understand it, but my heart is willing to understand and I am willing to learn.
The trip to Tianshui was in a hurry, but it was just a quick glance through the door. Tianshui didn't eat enough snacks, Weihe River didn't see her rushing, but life was not so full, and I won't forget some regrets.
