Among the thirteen counties in Yanbei, Lingqiu impressed me the most.

Lingqiu was named after King Wuling of Zhao was buried here after his death. The scenic spots of Lingqiu are: the tomb of King Wuling of Zhao, Jueshan Temple and Pingxingguan Site.

I am deeply impressed by Lingqiu, because I have been to Nanshan in Lingqiu for more than 20 days. Mountains, water and people still make me unforgettable.

Lingqiu is a mountainous area, which is divided into Nanshan and Beishan. Nanshan is an old district with red relics such as the 359 Brigade Command and Bethune Hospital. Nanshan is the treasure mountain of Lingqiu. Not only the mountains are continuous, the peaks are green and the passes are strewn at random, but also there are resources such as coal, iron, gold, silver, granite and marble. Moreover, due to its special geographical location, the vegetation is good, there are trees on the mountain and water in the stream, forming a microclimate, and crops are harvested twice a year, which is rare in Yanbei and even in northern Shanxi.

I saw pepper trees, walnut trees and soft-shelled turtles in the deep water stream of Nanshan. Rice and wheat are planted in many places, which seem to be south of the Yangtze River.

Lingqiu Mountain is densely forested. At that time, the traffic was underdeveloped and many villages were hidden in the mountains. For hundreds of years, they have still maintained their original ecological features. Although the ancient village like Huata Village is simple, few people go in because of the road congestion. It is said that the Japanese have searched for Huata Village and Moyandong, but they have not found them in the whole mountain area.

Lingqiu Mountain is good, water is good and people are better. Maybe it's because of the old district. There are many old guerrillas in the village, and the folk customs are simple. At that time, it was only 78 years since the reform and opening up, and people's lives were still very bitter. But wherever you go, people in the village regard you as their relatives. They take out the necessities of the new year to entertain you. When you cook a pot of eggs, you must put them in your pocket. You don't want to leave the village when you leave. I remember an old guerrilla. The county lent him 5000 yuan and bought two cows. One of them fell into a ditch and died. The county sent someone to find the old man and asked him to write a note stating that the loan of 5,000 pounds was exempted by the state. The old man said nothing. He said: "The Party helps the poor for us. We can't cheat the country. We must repay the loan. My son will give it back to me after I die. " This story makes people cry. What a nice person!

In the late 1980s, Nanshan was full of treasures. Except for granite and marble originally mined, gold, silver, copper and iron ore were still sleeping in the mountains. People don't have the concept of commodity economy yet. They still keep the traditional spiritual home of China and the red gene of education in the old areas. Although poor, their souls are clean. I heard that there have been no criminal cases since liberation. It is really a pure land and a world in the liberated areas.

After 1990s, mineral resources were gradually developed, and iron ore, gold ore and silver ore can be seen everywhere in Nanshan of Lingqiu. Many people have made a fortune and become billionaires, building restaurants and villas in big cities such as Beijing, Taiyuan and Datong.

Of course, most farmers are poor. I heard that the social order in Lingqiu is not good now, and there are many robberies and criminal cases.

Is Nanshan still green mountains and green waters? Why has the simple folk customs changed?

For 30 years, Nanshan has never forgotten it. Lingqiu is often in dreams.
