Heyang City is like a woman.She was lying flat on her back, her breasts soaring, as if she was always staring at the sky. Looking down from the sky, there is a trembling pillar standing on the woman's left breast. It is round, but if you look closely, it is an ancient pagoda that has been swaying for hundreds of years and has not yet fallen down.The tower is about eight feet high and the base is about sixteen meters in diameter.The bottom of the tower is built with bricks, and the body of the tower is made of wood, with mottled red lacquer and carved decorations over time.Around the tower, there are ninety-nine small towers of different heights, which were built in different ages.A monastery next to the pagoda was originally the residence of eminent Tibetan monks. The eminent monk taught Buddhism and cured diseases all his life, and wrote a lot. He sat in the temple when he was 70 years old.

The right breast is square, not high, but big, it is a Confucian temple.According to the inscriptions, the Confucian Temple was first built in the second to fourth years of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty, and then it was rebuilt and expanded during Chenghua, Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, Daoguang and the Republic of China, and gradually became complete. It took more than 500 years.The Confucian Temple consists of three groups of buildings connected from east to west, with a grand scale and unique style.The middle group is centered on the Dacheng Hall, with Panchi in the front, Zunjing Pavilion in the back, Lingxing Gate and Jimen Gate in the middle, and famous eunuchs, Xiangxian temples and East and West verandahs on the left and right.This group of buildings is collectively called Confucius Temple, which is a place to commemorate the saint Confucius.The east group is centered on the Guiji Hall, with a mountain gate in front, Chongsheng Temple in the back, East and West Gates, a theater building in the middle, Liu Gong Temple, Niu Gong Temple and East and West Halls on the left and right. They are collectively called Wenchang Palace, dedicated to Wenchang Monarch.Confucianism in the west has been destroyed, and only the two shrines of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness in front of Confucianism remain.The ancient cypresses in the temple are towering, solemn and elegant, majestic and magnificent.

Because of this pagoda and one temple, Heyang City has aura and context, and naturally becomes an ancient cultural city. From the woman's navel, a clear spring that has nourished the people for generations is named Gu Haizi.Its water veins can follow the Qilian Mountains, pass through the Maya Snow Mountain, and reach the Potala Palace in Tibet.In ancient times, the spring water was gurgling and clear to the bottom, with light smoke curling up above it, and it was lingering in all seasons.Someone who brews wine builds a couch and repairs a pool here, and slowly the smell of distiller's grains rises here. When the breeze blows, the smell of distiller's grains slowly dissipates, and in the air, the entire Heyang City is soaked in a smell of wine. In the middle of the year, it pervades and refreshes the soul.The winery is changing with each passing day, from a small workshop to a group, the wine is famous all over the country, and a lot of people are really drunk.But finally one day, the Haizi Spring dried up, and there was no more water to hold, and the group quickly declined. By this year, most of the workers had already lived at home, living a life without work.

The woman's two slender thighs slowly extended towards the west, protruding out of two fertile corn fields. After the corn eared, the legs looked extraordinarily full. The crops in the field made everyone want to pounce on them and bite a few bites.Later, the crops disappeared, and the left leg was developed into a township enterprise demonstration area. At first it was really popular, and then one by one closed.Looking at this leg again, it seems to be bitten by too many mouths, full of holes, and the scenery is extremely ugly.The right leg has been developed into a tertiary industrial area, where the lights are feasting and colorful, especially at night, the radiant neon makes this leg full of sensual light, and a very decadent but very attractive smell comes from here all year round Rising, filled the sky above Heyang City, and refused to disperse for a long time.

Between the legs is an ancient river channel that is getting wider and wider.In ancient times, the upper reaches were prone to torrents, and the torrents rushed in. Seeing that they were about to sweep away the city, they suddenly went down from the mouth on the east side, came out from the middle of the legs strangely, and then rushed westward all the way. And go, alone to protect the safety of Heyang City.Over time, this ancient river channel appeared in the west of the city.After the earthquake in the 16th year of the Republic of China, the upstream suddenly ran out of water. Since then, the river has been neglected, and the wind and sun have turned it into a rocky beach.

There is one more place that I didn't mention, which is very critical and mysterious. Between the winery and the ancient river, there used to be a luxuriant water meadow. Exotic flowers and grasses are here all the time. They bloom like anger, the fragrance of flowers is overflowing, and the water vapor is curling up. It has become a large vein. dig.There are always people who dare to eat crabs in the world. I don’t know when, a garden-style modern factory building was suddenly built here, with towering tall buildings, shaded trees, and various precious flowers and plants moved from the south, forming lawns and gardens one by one.Every spring, when all kinds of flowers are in full bloom, all the bees, big and small, from Heyang City come to gather around the garden, buzzing together.

This garden-style factory building is the famous Hehua Group, a modern enterprise with tens of thousands of employees and assets of over 100 million yuan, a desperate temptation that made Heyang City's scenery infinite in the last decade of the 20th century. Heyang is an ancient city.The storyteller, Mr. Wen, said that Heyang City was originally a post station. Because of the clear spring water of the ancient Haizi, the camels and horse teams in the past rested here, and business sprouted because of this.Heyang is adjacent to the Tengger Desert in the north, which is a must pass through the ancient Silk Road.In the early days of the Warring States period, a businessman surnamed Chen saw that the water was green and the grass was fertile and the women were strong, so he settled down here, married a wife and had children, and reproduced.After the merchant's death, his descendants were divided into two lines, one line was in the silk business in Heyang City, and the other line was more than a hundred miles away from Heyang to cultivate wasteland.Qin II, the camel gang exterminated the men of the Chen family in Heyang, and plundered their wives and daughters.In the fifth year of Emperor Xiandi, caravans and camel gangs fought each other, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Heyang was once a land of women...

Even during the Western Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, camel gangs and caravans each occupied the wharf, fighting for several years, and finally formed a north-south dichotomy.In the south is the caravan, walking the mountain road; in the north is the camel gang, passing through the desert sea.In the middle of the north and the south, there are refugees who live in tents, and over time, they form a family of their own. Later, the Xiongnu raised troops, raped women and murdered their sons, and looted countless cloths, causing chaos in Heyang. In the sixth year of Yongjia, Zhang Gui divided Heyang into a prefecture to resettle refugees from Zhongzhou, and the population became more and more prosperous.

In the first year of Taining, Yang Guang, a wealthy family in Xi'an, crossed Heyang with his wife and entered the Western Regions, but was attacked by a horse gang. Yang Guang was trampled to death by a random horse.Girl Yang is bold, chivalrous, and hates her father and family. In a fit of rage, she snatches the land in Fireworks Lane. With the protection of her mother, she becomes the proprietress of Fireworks Lane in Heyang City.Since then, the fireworks industry in Heyang has sprung up like bamboo shoots after rain, flourishing, and within a few years, it will become a unique industry.

In the first year of Xian'an, there was a flood in Heyang, the people were displaced, and Heyang was completely destroyed. In the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Jia Qing, a wealthy merchant from Lanzhou, opened a bank in Heyang. All businesses were waiting for prosperity, business was flourishing, the people lived and worked in peace, and the two gangs of camels and horses lived in peace.In the fifth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, the eldest daughter of the second head of the caravan re-displayed fireworks, and Heyang played and sang every night, which was very lively.

In the twelfth year of Tang Zhenguan, there was a strong wind in Heyang, and the wind rose and the wind fell, and there was no living grass.Later, there was a severe drought, and the hungry people fled all over the country. In the seventh year of Tianfu, it snowed heavily in Heyang, and the ground was five feet flat, and many people froze to death! In the sixth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a great epidemic in Heyang, and death was everywhere!In the third year of Jingde, there was a flood, the crops were exhausted, and people ate each other! In the autumn and July of the third year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a severe drought, locusts rose up, and the food and crops were exhausted. In March of the second year of Baoqing, there was a severe drought, and the people had nothing to eat.In July, Genghis Khan led troops to attack Heyang, which was occupied by the Mongolian Khanate. In July of the second year of Yuan Taiding, the Heyang earthquake caused countless deaths, and the aftershocks lasted for several years. In the 18th year of the Republic of China, there was a great famine in Heyang, the epidemic spread to both urban and rural areas, and starvation was everywhere. Mr. Wen Lao, the storyteller, always burst into tears when he talked about these things. Mr. Wen Lao had a close friend named Huang Yi, whose ancestor was a master of Confucianism. He was favored by Emperor Qianlong and gave him a house.Huang Yi studied poetry and books all his life, and he and Mr. Wen Lao had the same aspirations and jointly built Heyang Academy. Unfortunately, he died of illness after the academy was completed.Mr. Wen was all grieved, so he took Huang Yi's eldest grandson under his door and devoted himself to nurturing him. Who knew that the evil son was unworthy, and he was greedy for opium together with Mr. Wen's only son. When Yi's only descendant, Huang Feng, married a wife and had children, his family was dilapidated to the point that there was only an old house left.After the "Cultural Revolution" was burned, Huang's family became poor.Thinking of the family friends of the two families, Mr. Wen adopted Huang Feng's little girl as his disciple, serving tea and water all day long, and serving the two of them. Heyang has an inland desert climate and is windy.According to historical records, Heyang has frequent wind disasters and continuous wind disasters.In the seventh year of Yonghe, Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, strong winds uprooted trees in Heyang, and yellow mist fell to the dust.On March 25th in the spring of the forty-seventh year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the day and night in Heyang were as dark as night, and the dead of birds and birds were counted.In the twenty-seventh year of the Republic of China, Heyang was hit by a storm.In 1963, the number of days with strong winds in Heyang reached 39 days.In late June 1971, there were three strong winds of magnitude 12 in Heyang... In meteorology, wind disasters are divided into strong winds and dry hot winds.The folks are divided into yellow wind, red wind and black wind. One is the yellow wind, which usually occurs between March and April. When it starts, it swirls on the spot, rises in a spiral, and turns into a wind current in mid-air.The onslaught is strong, but the wind is weak. Generally, the weather is only dusty and does little damage to crops. Occasionally, it carries pathogenic bacteria.When the common people blow it, the mild ones will suffer from epidemic diseases, and the severe ones will suffer from serious diseases, and they will not be able to afford long-term illnesses.When the yellow wind blows, the sky is clear and bright, there is no warning, and the frequency is frequent, which often makes the people hard to guard against.Because the whirlwind carries soil and dust, it looks like yellow mist, so it is commonly called Huangfeng.The yellow wind came like an airplane, fast and fierce, there was no time to hide, there was a rumbling sound, the eyes suddenly felt yellow, and the nostrils were entangled with a strong fishy smell. Afterwards, the face was covered with dust, the ear holes were filled with sand, and the teeth were dead for three days. The brush is not clean, and the mouthful of dust smells when eating.If there is a woman standing in the wind, the yellow wind is like a man's stern hand, lifting her up from the hem of the skirt, and in the blink of an eye, the skirt of the woman is rolled upside down to cover her head.When the wind was strong, the skirt flew up from the head, like a mushroom cloud, blooming in the middle of the sky.Although the yellow wind humiliated the woman, it did not hurt the woman's skin, so it was considered a good wind. The second is called red wind, which mostly occurs between July and August.When it started, it looked like a red cloud in the far sky, rolling towards it, with a speed like a train, rushing rumblingly, plundering grass and breaking branches, engulfing birds, engulfing sand and covering soil, the sky and earth were instantly chaotic.The daytime is like a dark red curtain, and it is instantly cloudy.The wind blows and the grass dies, the crops are uprooted, and the branches are broken.The birds were caught in the wind for less than an hour, and they all exhausted themselves.If a woman stands in the wind, the skirt will be torn from all sides and shattered into pieces, revealing her white, tender and smooth jade body.In an instant, the wind and sand ransacked it, and it became a gerbil full of red dust.When the red wind blows, there will be pea-sized water droplets in the air, which is caused by the strong wind blowing up a river.The water droplets hit the woman's jade body, and instantly condensed into red mud, which firmly adhered to the skin. After three days of soaking in the bathtub, it may not be able to restore the original bright color of the skin. The red wind seems to be coming slowly, but it is actually overwhelming.The red wind rose and fell for several days, and when the world woke up in the dark, it was discovered that the green wheat fields had disappeared, the blue river water had become a red mud flow, the branches of August were left with a muddy trunk, the roof was tiled, the glass was broken, and the birds disappeared.Within half a month, the earth will change color, wither and turn yellow early, people and livestock will be infected with epidemics, and malaria will run rampant. The third is Black Wind, also known as Jue Ming Feng.Shaped like a black beast, it rises from the place where the sky and the earth connect, and walks like a giant tank, which can cause landslides and landslides.Small trees were uprooted, big trees were broken in half, farmhouses were destroyed one by one, and birds were already dead dozens of miles away from the wind.The small river was swept away by the wind, and the big river was filled with gravel.What was carried by the wind was no longer sand and dust, but stones and tiles, crackling and hitting the face of the city, and the city was instantly darkened, just like an earthquake.If a woman stands in the wind, her flesh and blood will be mutilated, and her bones will fly around!
