Exploration of Pingtoushan Prose

20141214: 32 With the slow opening of the Taocha canal head of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the first phase of the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Transfer Project, which attracted worldwide attention, officially opened. After a long-distance running of1.432km, Hanjiang River water entered Beijing at 4pm on the 27th. By then, 60 million people in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei will directly drink Hanjiang River water with excellent water quality, and nearly 654.38 billion people will indirectly benefit. Ankang, located in the deep part of Qinba Mountain, as the core water conservation area of the project, is famous for undertaking the glorious mission of "one river with clear water for Beijing".

It is also known that the Hanjiang River flows through 340 kilometers in Ankang, with an annual outflow of 26.2 billion cubic meters, accounting for 67.5% of the total inflow of Danjiangkou Reservoir. The runoff of Ankang City is 12 1 100 million cubic meters, accounting for 3 1.25% of the total inflow of Danjiangkou Reservoir. Ankang water source protection plays an important role in the middle route project of South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

According to experts' calculation, a 6.5438+10,000 mu forest is equivalent to a 2 million cubic meter reservoir. This is just like the agricultural proverb: "Planting more trees on the mountain is equivalent to building a reservoir." Nowadays, the previously unknown mountain forests that provide conservation for water sources have gradually entered people's field of vision and become more and more places to visit forests, and Pingtou Mountain Forest Farm is one of them.

On a warm winter day, I went to this mountain with hikers from Ankang Nature.

Pingtou Forest Farm is located at the junction of Hanbin, Gao Lan and Pingli in guan shan cun, Shuanglong Town, the southern tip of Hanbin District, Ankang City. Measured at 1978, the total forest area is 3000 mu. The main peak is 2018m high, which belongs to the second peak in Hanbin District and the source of Xianghe River. 1958, Jihe logging farm was established and settled in this forest area. 1959 changed to logging yard in Ankang county. 1 month 1960 changed to Ankang county forest farm. 1September, 988, Ankang was renamed Pingtou Forest Farm in Ankang City. From June 5438 to February 2000, the land reform city established Hanbin District, renamed as Pingtou Forest Farm in Hanbin District, which has been managed by Hanbin District Forestry Bureau since its establishment.

At seven o'clock in the morning, I started from Ankang with a little drowsiness. After more than an hour's smooth road trip in An Lan, I didn't feel much bump. The Yinghu scenic spot along the way seems to be still sleeping in the white fog, full of mystery and reverie. After turning left from Xianghe Estuary into Shuanglong Town, the country road is a little narrow, but it is still flat.

Everyone got off at Qinglongshan's house in Guide, packed their bags and walked to the forest farm station. This simple highway is about 8 kilometers long, and there are many landslides along the way. Local villagers are repairing it. The winter grass on the roadside is brown and yellow, the stream is gurgling, and waterfalls come and go. The water is clear and transparent, sweet and fragrant. In the thick smoke, a village girl drove a group of goats and ran past us happily. Rows of wooden boxes for local people to collect wild honey can be seen from time to time on the roadside and in front of and behind the house. From time to time, the scene of a small bridge and a flowing water family unfolds before our eyes.

According to reports, in this vast forest, there are not only many kinds of nectar plants, but also a large amount of nectar, with a long period of flowering and nectar flow. The nectar powder source plants that can produce a large amount of commercial honey mainly include Pinus massoniana, wild grape, kiwi fruit, wild cherry, Schisandra chinensis, wild pepper, wild peach, wild plum, wild apricot, Qilixiang, persimmon, lacquer tree, chestnut, camellia, osmanthus fragrans and wild chrysanthemum. There are more than 200 species, including medicinal plants 100. The unique forest environment provides an ecological barrier for the reproduction of wild bees, forming rich natural bee species resources. Making full use of the advantages of local resources to develop beekeeping has become one of the important sources of income for local villagers.

After a short rest in the forest farm, I began to climb the road to the top of Pingtou Mountain. At first, the slope was gentle and the pace was brisk. But the more you climb the mountain, the steeper the mountain becomes, and the steps become more and more difficult and slower. After entering the forest area, the narrow path that was faintly visible just now has completely disappeared. Guided by the guide, we groped and crawled along the roadside. Halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a stone house that could accommodate more than 30 people in the dense forest. The local people call it Yeren Cave, which contains traces of human activities.

At rest, there are many kinds of trees around, including trees, shrubs, vines and bamboo. The main tree species are sumac, birch and masson pine. There are many kinds of 10. Forests are chaotic, dense and small in average diameter, but they are very useful for water conservation.

Dead stumps can be seen everywhere in the dense forest. They were all left by cutting sleepers when Xiangyu and Yang 'an railways were built in the early 1970s.

Looking up, I saw a tall and stout trunk. The winding vines in wild kiwifruit are as thick as arms, and countless fruits are hung on the branches. Let's run forward and shake hard. At the entrance of fruit drop, a refreshing sweet and sour ice juice slipped down the stomach, and the fatigue of the whole body disappeared instantly.

Fortunately, the thick leaves on the ground have not thawed. With the help of the surrounding treetops and vines, stepping on the thick snow on the ground will not be too slippery. Although everyone was sweating, I heard that the purpose of this trip was to conquer this mountain, and everyone was full of energy again.

In the afternoon, 34 hikers climbed for more than three hours in a row. When making up lunch at Mugua Cliff, the leader Lao Sa suggested that the hikers with poor physical strength should return to the original road and let the strong hikers finish the final sprint.

Although it is only a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, the slope is very steep, covered with thorns and dense bamboo forests along the way, and fresh traces of large wild animals such as wild boar are found around. But it is interesting that "once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will see that all the other mountains look short under the sky." Strengthened our confidence and eliminated our fears.

Half an hour later, 16 warriors were exhausted and finally reached the top. Looking around, the top of the mountain is not all peaks as expected, but a large area of snow-covered flat land, from which the name of Pingtou Mountain may come. There are many tall blacksmith trees and dense birch forests, all of which are hundreds of years old. Imagine if you climb this mountain in spring and summer, can the pleasant climate, splendid mountain flowers and cheerful birds and flowers be comparable to Mount Tai and Mount Emei to watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds?

Staring at the triangle boundary pillar set by 1998, I was secretly complaining just now. In the pride of stepping over the three counties, my fatigue vanished instantly.

When I came back, it was already dark, and a joke popped up in my mind: the ten counties under the jurisdiction of Ankang City are all state-level poverty-stricken counties. In recent years, in order to ensure the clear water flowing from one river to the north, our city has closed down more than 200 polluting enterprises, reducing the industrial output value by tens of billions of yuan every year and reducing employment by 65,438+10,000 people. However, in order to make the water quality of Shaanxi section of Hanjiang River stable in the national standard of surface water, we adhere to the policy of "saving water, greening, pollution control, immigration, industry and enriching the people" and do a good job in water quality protection in water source protection areas. ...

Pingtou Mountain, an ordinary land, has made great contributions to the country's "third-line construction" in the past, but today it has turned around beautifully and made new contributions to the water conservation area of "South-to-North Water Transfer Project" again. In order to make clear water from one river available to Beijing, which belongs to the well-being of economically backward areas, the water source paid a huge price for water saving. At present, despite the dual pressures of environmental protection and economic development, the industrious and simple Ankang people are still abandoning their small families for the motherland, doing their best and giving everything without regrets.

Just like a song sings: "There is always a reward for giving. Do your best if you want to do it. " We are convinced that with the people who love mountains and the party and government who love mountains, the future of Pingtou Mountain will be even better!
