On what river is Chu Shule located?

Chu Shule is located when I first saw your name at school. At that time, I just learned from books that you are one of the three inland rivers in Gansu Province, which was called Duanshui in ancient times and located at the western end of Hexi Corridor.

When did I meet you?

When I graduated from college, I always thought the world was so big and wanted to see it, so I chose to attend the campus job fair and engage in sales work. Traveling all over the country, I feel like a wandering fish, and I have no sense of belonging, so I choose to go home to participate in the recruitment of public institutions. I still remember when I told my mother that I was admitted and my work unit was in Jiuquan, my mother said "it was fate" because my father worked in Jiuquan the year I was born. March 20 13 17, when the sky was blue and white in Wan Li, I walked into you.

When did you surprise me?

After I entered the Shule River Basin Water Conservancy Bureau in Gansu Province, I worked in the Shuangta Irrigation District Management Office of Guazhou County in the lower reaches of Shule River. What I usually see are the Twin Towers Reservoir, branch canals, sluice gates and the trickling Shule River. So I've always been curious about what your upstream looks like. 20 17 You were successfully selected as the first "Looking for the Most Beautiful Hometown River" in China. That's the short video I saw my unit shoot for you, that is, at that time, I saw that your hometown turned out to be a pure white snow-capped mountain, and I saw you flowing through snowy plains, grasslands, Gobi, Changma Reservoir, Shuangta Reservoir, irrigation canals, farmland, life, life.

When did you begin to like you?

Before I walked into you, this river was more like childhood fun for me, catching fish, swimming and skating. After I walked into you, I began to realize the meaning of water to life. The west end of Hexi Corridor has an average annual precipitation of 47-63mm, an annual evaporation of 2897-3042mm and an average annual temperature of 6.9-8.8℃, which is a typical inland arid climate. The total annual water resources are 65.438+0.65438+3.4 billion cubic meters, of which the total surface water resources are 65.438+0.82 billion cubic meters, which is groundwater that does not duplicate surface water. It's hard to imagine what this Gobi would be like without you. I think maybe, like the ancient city of Loulan, it will be buried by the wind and sand of the years. Because of you, there is vitality and laughter here; It is because of you that I feel that as a Shule River water conservancy worker, my work is so meaningful and extraordinary.

When did you start wanting to be with you?

Qin Chuan, director of the documentary "He Da Xi Liu", said: "Shule River Basin is the outpost of China's western development and the forefront of China's opening up. The great river gave birth to Dunhuang culture, contributed to the birth of the Silk Road, connected four major civilizations and three major religions in the world, and created an unparalleled miracle in the history of human civilization. It is an important channel for China to go west and the world, and then let the West enter China. " Yes! On the territory of China, almost all the great rivers run to the sea from west to east, but you do the opposite. From Qilian Mountain all the way to the west, the splendid Dunhuang culture and the great Silk Road have been nurtured. You are like a giant vine, connecting the oases along Changma, Yolanda, Suoyangcheng, Shibaocheng, Guazhou, Guang Zhi, Dunhuang, Yangguan, Dobagou and Guyumen, and bringing together the free flowing rivers to form a splendid civilization in the basin.

From the long river of history, you have not only stories but also legends. There are more than 100 ancient city sites on both sides of Guigang, including more than 40 ancient cities in Han and Tang Dynasties and more than 50 ancient cities from Xixia to Qing Dynasty. Along your route, there are more than 300 kilometers of the Han Great Wall, more than 200 kilometers of well-preserved and more than 200 beacon towers. There are Yumen Changma Grottoes on the Changma River upstream, Dongqianfo Cave near Suoyang City in Guazhou to the west, and five temple grottoes in Yulin Grottoes, Mogao Grottoes, Xiqianfo Cave and Subei to the west. For thousands of years, you have flowed quietly in an eternal way, nourishing one side of the land and raising one side of the people with a broad mind and selfless spirit.

I wonder if there would be a Silk Road without you as a medium. Perhaps the intersection of the four major civilizations of mankind may also be delayed for many centuries. If China didn't open the door to the outside world from you, it's hard to imagine what our ancient Chinese nation would look like. Maybe world history would be another pattern. This is your unparalleled historical and cultural value.

"Starting from the face value, trapped in the connotation, loyal to the spirit". You are the river of happiness in my heart-Shule River, the river of life! (Audited by the Party and Government Affairs Office of Shuangta Office for weekly contributions)
