Take some time to explore the estuary again and explore how the ancients crossed the Qinghe River. Turn left along the ancient road and walk along an arc road to the river. The terrain here gradually becomes lower, the river channel becomes wider and the water flow becomes shallower and slower.
It seems that the ancient road was surveyed at the beginning of the repair, because the ancient people's load carts, especially freight, were too steep for cars to turn over or climb the slope, so they generally chose gentle areas to build roads.
Cross the Qinghe River, reach the west exit of Qinghe River, and face the east exit of Qinghe River across the river. In order to understand the geomorphological characteristics of Qinghe estuary, after crossing the bridge, we walked along the river bank and found that the higher the river, the narrower the river channel and the deeper the river bank.
It turns out that the Xihekou is not flat, but high in the northwest and low in the southeast, with a slope distribution. The highest point in the northwest is more than ten meters away from the riverbed, but it drops to two or three meters in the southeast. The river has a semicircle around Xikou Village here. After the water flowing down the Qinghe River was blocked by the narrow waterway at the corner, the flow speed slowed down, forming a natural hukou and forming an estuary effect. It seems that this is the origin of the name of Qinghekou!
According to the theory of geomantic omen, this kind of water method is called jade belt water, which comes from the left and circles the mountain half a circle, like a belt around the village. There are mountains and no water to find land, and there is a shore in Tang Ming, which is really a treasure trove!
My interest has greatly increased. I took a tram around Xikou Village and found nothing of value. At the intersection of the village, I met an old man in his seventies and asked him the location of the ancient road. He said that there is a straight road by the bridge, and now everyone is taking a new cement road by the river. That ancient road has long been abandoned. It seems that the ancient road is a straight line and generally does not turn. If you turn, you need to detour when you meet mountains or rivers!
I asked again: the feng shui here is so good. Are there any great people in the village? The old man hesitated for a moment and said that there was no big shot. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were four forbidden guards. I asked: Are there any historical sites around here? He replied: there are a pair of stone lions in front of Han's grave next to the ancient road in the west.
Walk along the abandoned ancient road for about 300 meters, and you can see the pair of stone lions on the north side of the road. It seems that the weathering is very serious. It's not easy for a lion's head to lose a large piece after more than 200 years of vicissitudes!
After a pair of stone lions, there is a pair of China watches, which looks like a modern re-establishment, unlike the original. After all, it is the imperial bodyguard who guards the emperor Qianlong, which is the light stained with the "emperor" gas. This majestic stone lion and high-profile China table all reveal the dignity and highest honor of the tomb owner! Look at the gas field in the graveyard, ancestors are blessed!
