One day in May, I suddenly saw a link in the long-distance running group saying that a walking race would be held in Gaoping Ma Village. My mind was activated and I wanted to go to Ma Village. I saw a 17 km hiking group and a 37 km cross-country group, so I wanted to go once, so I took a walk and signed up for the 37 km cross-country group.
In late May, a dozen runners who participated in the Macun Walking Race in Changzhi organized a tour group, and everyone began to pay attention to how to travel early.
Because of many things at work and home, I chose to carpool with my running friends that day. Changzhi Marathon Association is unable to participate in the organization due to physical discomfort, and is temporarily entrusted to organize.
On June 2, I got up at 3: 30 in the morning, ate and washed, and went straight to South Square. At 4: 30, the running friend's car arrived on time, and I got on the car of Mr. and Mrs. Feng Xiangyang.
Silent all the way, take Xichi Expressway, Changjin Expressway and Gaoqin Expressway, get off at Macun Expressway at 6: 30 and go straight to Yuma Square. There are more cars and more people. So I got off the bus, stopped at the side of the road and walked to Yuma Square.
Today's Yuma Square has set up a tent and a temporary stage to distribute items for this walking race. Let's get the competition bag, not check the number, but sign in.
At 7: 20, a shot was fired, and thousands of runners who were ready to go set off from Yuma Square, south to the east of South Ring Road, and arrived at Kangying Village ten minutes later. This is an ancient village with a long history, also known as Guguang Wolf City. The village is backed by mountains on three sides, and there is a valley corridor in the west, which leads directly to Laomaling, and the northeast canyon is close to Dan Valley. According to legend, before the Battle of Changping, Feng Ting, the commander-in-chief of Shangdang in South Korea, used this place as an important stronghold to fight against Qin Jun. After Qin Jun laid Qinyang and Nanyang, Shangdang was cut off from South Korea. In order to unite Zhao against Qin, the satrap dedicated Shangdangcheng 17 to Zhao. Qin was very angry after hearing the news. Wang Bi, the commander of the school, led 200,000 troops to Shangdang. Because Feng Ting kept bidding day and night, Qin Jun could not fight for a month. Later, Wang Bi dispatched elite soldiers from Xianyang and captured the city with sharp weapons such as ladders and fire systems. After Qin Jun laid the light wolf city, powerful battalions were stationed here. In order to publicize the prestige of Qiangying, Wang Bi changed the Light Wolf City into Qiangying. Today, the East Pavilion of Kangying Village is also inlaid with large-character stone carvings of "Ancient Light Wolf City". But I ran in a hurry. Although I saw the East Pavilion, I didn't look closely at it in the end. After Kangying Village, we can't help but mention the Tang Cheng Temple, the Millennium Temple and the Millennium sacred tree Longbai. Along the way, Gao Rong Solar Energy, Heino Technology, Xingchang Beverage, Sharpsell and other large enterprises witnessed the development process of Macun people from facing the loess and facing the sky to enriching the people through industry. Return to Macun from Kangying, and then go west to Dong Tang. As soon as you arrive at the village entrance, you will see an eye-catching slogan "Champion's Land, Great Beauty Dong Tang". From ancient times to the present, Dong Tang Village is full of celebrities. Dong Tang Village is the only champion village in Gaoping history, so Dong Tang has become the unique champion village in Gaoping history. There is also a scholar's mansion in the village. This is the former residence of Chen Zhuangyuan, and the existing building was rebuilt by Chen Can, a descendant of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. Chen Mansion, commonly known as "the back of the building", also known as Chessboard Pavilion, is of great scale. From Dong Tang Village to the west, go up the mountain, cross Tangxi, and reach Master Village. Since ancient times, the village has the largest surname of Wu, and knows the village like the back of his hand, hence the name Wu Jiazhang; After liberation, Wu became a village owner on the grounds that human destiny was in the hands of the people. Further west, we arrived at Gelao Village. I don't know if there is really Ge Lao in this village, but the height in the north of the village is very famous. In the north of Gelao village 1 km, there is a mountain peak with an altitude of 1 188 meters. Its mountains are undulating, its peaks are high and its cliffs are steep, and its momentum is magnificent. If a horse gallops, it is also called Laomaling. The mountains here are high and steep, and the terrain is dangerous. Like a galloping horse, the pass is dangerous. There is only one narrow path leading to the top of the mountain, which tends to be "guarded by one person, but not forced by ten thousand people". It is the traffic artery and military crossroads in Shangdang area, that is, Gaopingguan. Occupy this place, there will be "the ridge of the world and the throat of the river", which is a battleground for military strategists.
Starting from Gelao village, all the way downhill to Guzhai village, which is an ancient village with a history of more than 2,000 years. It was first recorded in the sentence "Take twenty years, four generals" in Historical Records and Biography of Wang Jian. It was named after Qin Jun Zhaizha, and changed to Xiying Village after the Qin occupation. It is said that as early as the Warring States period, there was a man named Gu in the south who was demoted, withdrew from the court class and settled here with his family. There are five pavilions and eleven temples in the village, especially Tang Cheng Temple, which is famous for its four styles and profound historical and cultural heritage. Huashizhu Temple is located in the south mountain of Guzhai. Locals call it Nanmiao, also called Tangwang Temple. This is an ancient temple with a history of thousands of years. The architectural styles of gold, yuan, Ming and Qing are all among them, which makes people who like ancient buildings linger.
Tangwang Temple has a main hall, three rooms wide and six meters deep, half eaves hanging on the top of the mountain, and seven purlins front porch structure. The front eaves and the roots of the columns are all square bluestone plants with relief and line carving on all sides. Patterns include dragons and phoenixes, chrysanthemums, peonies, bodhisattvas and immortals. Exquisite carving, lifelike, is the exquisite stone carving art of Jin Dynasty, which shows the ancient civilization of ancient villages. The four stone pillars are the most precious, and the girders on the pillars have the style of Yuan Dynasty, which has high reference value for studying the core and art of Jin and Yuan Dynasties.
According to legend, the rooster carved on the stone pillar has long been immortal and crows for the people every morning.
From Guzhai to the east is Jinzhangbei Village, a nice village name, but it's already ten o'clock, the sun is already very strong, and my clothes are wet with sweat. I don't have time to explore the origin of this village name, and further east is Xizhou Village, a red education base. Xizhou Village was formerly known as Xizhou Anzu Village. According to Gaoping County Records, during the Northern Zhou Dynasty (AD 530), general Yang Zuan was stationed here. Yang Zuan is an honest official who cares about the people. After his death, people changed the name of this village to Zhoucun in memory of him. The village is very big, and the villagers are extremely enthusiastic, bringing tea and water along the street.
Further east is Dazhou village, which still retains the village pattern and a large number of old houses in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Running through the village is like crossing history. There are many ancient temples in the village with unique architectural styles, especially Zisheng Temple and Xuansheng Temple, which are distributed along the street. Listen to the villagers, there is a huge project in the village, which was called "China first" in the Song Dynasty. However, due to the time requirement, I dare not stay long.
Dongzhou Village is located in the east of Dazhou Village, with profound cultural background and a long history. According to the report of Taihang Daily 20 12 entitled "Dongzhou Village, a metropolis thousands of years ago", Jiugao Exploration Agency has made many investigations on Dongzhou Village, and found that it starts from the northeast of Dazhou Village in the west 12 meters and extends to the north of Dongzhou Village in the east 65438+. The area of 600,000 square meters was once the resting place of Yan Di tribes, and more than 20 relics were found from ancient burial methods and excavations. According to the judgment of archaeologists, it should be about the transition of the Neopaleolithic Age.
I hurried from Dongdongwu, Goutou and Niuwangzhuang to the west and returned to Yuma Square.
Although the walking race has come to an end, my trip to Macun is not over yet. Located in Foshan, Hu Aixiang Pavilion, Kuixing Pavilion and Xiaoyaotai. It's beautiful in the south, but I didn't have a chance to go up. Nakangying, Dazhou and Guzhai are more like masked girls, which are provocative. Macun, I will come back next year, but I won't run again. I will walk slowly and savor it.
