Collection by Zhao Chen Since I was 12 years old and lived outside for nearly 45 years, I realized that our county is really too small. However, in the ends of the earth, I am proud of it, it should be so small, so delicate and tight, so strong. It is also so beautiful that I feel that my hometown is still good wherever I go in the next few decades; It turned out that sometimes, I thought it might be my own prejudice. Recently, I heard the old man Alley from New Zealand say twice recently: "There are two most beautiful small cities in China, the first is Fenghuang in Hunan, and the second is Changting in Fujian..."

It comes from an old friend who has lived in China for almost 60 years, and I am so grateful and happy. My city is in a mountain valley near Guizhou Province in western Hunan.Half of the city is on rolling hills, there are some canyons, some ancient forests and grasslands, Use a delicate stone city wall to embroider a circle up and down to enclose it. The outside of the circle is still so beautiful. There is a big bridge with 24 houses stacked on top of the bridge. Red and green clothes are drying in sunny days. In the middle of the bridge is a small street with a tile roof, selling strange things.

The river downstream of the bridge turned a bend, and the learned designer tried his best to build a Longevity Palace at the bend. There is also a small white pagoda on the left side of the palace. Therefore, you can enjoy the beautiful reflection on the bridge all day long. Inside and outside the city are dense, dark blue towering trees, and the streets are paved with red and blue stone slabs. There are sewers under the road, rose, woody, dog foot plum, orange pomelo, many flowers and fruit trees often protrude from the white walls of every house. With the door closed, when it rains, passers-by in rawhide spikes can be heard ding-ding past the door.

You can also hear the jingling of the "iron horse" wind chimes at the four corners of the building in the temple. It is especially moving when it snows, because it often becomes two feet as soon as it falls: it is as thick as a foot. Recently, I heard an old Miao man in my hometown say that he came down from the "Leishaopo" halfway across the county town, You can hear the sound of "crowding" in the city and smell the aroma of fried cakes. In fact, the distance is still six or seven miles away. There are many clear springs in the city, and the spring water seeps out from the cracks in the rocks. The ancient ancestors dug a look at the vertical dome like a fireplace from the rock wall,

People use long spoons made of new bamboo to scoop up water from it.For a long time, the spring is surrounded by ferns, The surrounding area was covered with green, and I remembered the words of Song people who praised Liu Yong: "Where there is well water, there must be Liu Ci", I think that good poems and good words should always grow in this kind of place.
