Mazhen: A strange stone village on the bank of the Yellow River. Some strange stones resemble Chairman Mao's head.

Mazhen Village, Mazhen Town, Shenmu City, Shaanxi Province, is located on the bank of the Yellow River. Magnificent stone mountains and deep stone gullies crisscross, huge stone rocks and steep stone cliffs have different shapes, and grotesque stones can be seen everywhere. It is called "Kistler Village"

The boulder erected at the southern end of the new village looks like a big pillar, about 15 meters high and about 5 meters in diameter. However, it was blown up when the Kaishanba River was opened in the 1960s and 1970s, and a 40cm-long fish fossil with clear scales was picked up by the villager Jiao Huaqi. The lying stone on the south slope of the old village looks like an old government seal, with a side length of about 10 m and a height of about 10 m. Commonly known as "stone sealing". In the 1960s and 1970s, when a post office was built to build a dam, it was bombed, and a male insole fossil flew out. Wang Shoutao and many other villagers saw it with their own eyes. However, the "fish fossils" and "insole fossils" were destroyed one after another, leaving a regret for history. It is possible to climb the sacred mountain where strange stones abound, and perhaps the regret is alleviated: just after the hillside inlaid with "stumps", it is

In the twists and turns, I was lucky enough to meet "Li Bai" in Brewmaster, who came back from drinking in a deep hole. He was half drunk and half awake, holding a stone and flying high.

Small stones strive for novelty, while big stones strive for collocation. The "tiger face" stands high on the top of Tianbao Mountain, changing the fierce image of the past and looking at the direction of the Yellow River with beautiful eyes. In the earth-shattering sound of the waves, it seems to be mixed with its call to retain the Yellow River.

"Matashi" is located in the middle of Hougou in Mazhen Village. The horseshoes and women's feet that once flew down on it have actually gone out of the thousand-year-old sad legend: in the early Northern Song Dynasty, a group of outlaws were stationed in the thatched cottage opposite Jinpenwan, and Chief Liu was killed in a fierce battle. His daughter Liu Jinding, 18 years old, is brilliant, has superb martial arts and outstanding appearance. All the brothers chose her to replace her father as the leader. Sure enough, the team under her rule has always been victorious and invincible, and its reputation is far-reaching. Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, immediately sent a general, Gao Huaide, on an expedition. His son Gao Zongbao was in his prime, handsome and competitive, and insisted on going out with his father. The troops camped at Suoshan near Jinpenwan day and night to get to know each other's military situation first, but the hot-blooded Gao Zongbao couldn't wait, volunteered to fight, took the lead and insisted on a decisive battle with Liu Jinding. Unexpectedly, he was defeated and captured, taken to the cottage and forced to marry. Soon, under Gao Zongbao's patient persuasion, Liu Jinding led his troops to the imperial court and was ordered to carry out the Western Expedition. When passing through the back ditch of Mazhen, the stone rested and left footprints.

The story of "The Seal of God" is not an ancient legend. At the initial stage of the establishment of Shenmu Lv Wen Group, it collected logos for the whole country to select the ideal LOGO. Famous Shaanxi painters Zhao Tuo and Guo Shengli were invited to participate. On the eve of the selection, everyone went to the Yellow River to feel the natural customs. When they walked down the mountain road of Xiama Town Village, the huge word "God" and "relief" on the northwest cliff suddenly came into view. Guo Shengli exclaimed: "What logo did you receive? It turned out to be here! "

Looking up at the word "God" and "Relief" is like a big seal. The rough lines of the Great Wall of the Yellow River, the elegant official script and the natural and unrestrained dance of ancestors are all displayed, rich and simple, clear and hazy, as if containing traditional culture and showing the breath of life. According to this relief, after a little proper rendering by skilled craftsmen, it has become a perfect combination of nature and humanity, which fits the "spirit" of Shenmu well and fully embodies the "text" of literary travel, and is favored by all walks of life.

At the same time, it also enlightens people: true art is neither mechanically rigid "mechanical reproduction" nor divorced from the foundation "pulling out seedlings to encourage"; Only by going deep into society and experiencing nature can we find beautiful figures, convey beautiful voices, show beautiful vividness and carry forward beautiful spirit.

There are many strange stones in Mazhen Village, but what is particularly amazing is that two of them look like Chairman Mao's head. This strange little stone was found by villager Jiao Jiguan among the dense small stones on the bank of the Yellow River. It has been carefully preserved for a long time, and the bareheaded head of Chairman Mao on it also exudes golden light.

Dashi is the northern edge of Dashi Mountain at the back of the village, with the outline of Chairman Mao's hooded head, which is magnificent and higher than between heaven and earth. I want to watch it again after reading it, perhaps because of the thoughtfulness of nature, so that Chairman Mao can always be with the mountains, rivers and people of the motherland!

Because of a Yellow River, Mazhen Village is much more beautiful. I can't remember how many times I have been there, but every time I have discovered and tasted the strange stones, I have known and understood nature, added color and sublimated my life. I will go there more in the future!
