Green Bamboo Sea, Green Thunder Mountain

Cuileishan Reclamation Farm is located about 20 kilometers northwest of Guangchang County, adjacent to Datian Village in Ganzhu Town in the east, Zixiao Town in Nanfeng County in the north, Keshu Village in Toupi Town in the southwest, and Luokou Town in Ningdu County in the west. Founded in 1958, Cuilei Mountain Reclamation Farm is the only state-owned agricultural reclamation enterprise in the county and is named after Cuilei Mountain, the highest peak in the area. The total area is 61.3 square kilometers, the forest area is 89,000 acres, the standing stock volume is about 451,000 cubic meters, the moso bamboo stock volume is about 2.02 million roots, and the forest coverage rate reaches 87.7%.

Cuileishan Forest Scenic Area belongs to the Guangchang Cuileishan Reclamation Farm (Xujiang Bamboo Bamboo) area, only 5 kilometers away from Longfengyan (one of the first 36 famous Buddhist temples to be opened in Jiangxi Province named by Zhao Puchu), and is mutually exclusive with Longfengyan. Resource extension and supplementation. Along the Kuzhu Port (a tributary of the source of Fuhe River, about 20 kilometers), there are 230,000 acres of virgin forest, more than 30,000 acres of green moso bamboo, waterfalls and springs, and green peaks. Cuileishan Reclamation Site is the place where the first Soviet regime was established in Guangchang. It still retains Mao Zedong’s former residence, the site of the second meeting of the General Front Committee, and the birthplace of the first party branch in Guangchang County. It is a gathering place. It is a comprehensive green ecological cultural tourism area integrating leisure vacation, ecological experience, red perception, Zen and Buddhist culture, etc.

Cuilei Mountain is located on the boundary of Guangchang and Nanfeng counties. It is the highest peak of the Yushan branch in Guangchang. The peak is connected to Staircase to the east, Yazhizhai to the west, Niulanchang of Cuileishan Reclamation Farm in Guangchang County to the south, Huanglongkeng in Nanfeng County to the north, and Jinhua Mountain about 8 kilometers to the southeast. The towering mountains, the beautiful green sky, the clouds covering the fog, seem real and illusory. The territory has beautiful scenery, fresh air, continuous pines and bamboos, dense forests, and verdant peaks, which is known as Cuilei Mountain. The main peak is 969 meters above sea level, ranking sixth among the highest peaks in Guangchang County.

In late autumn, I drove from the Cuilei Mountain Reclamation Farm in the morning. The car passed through the bumpy winding paths and mountains. The asphalt road was like a long gray belt, winding into the undulating greenery. Deep green. When the bus arrived at the Luoling Village group outside Kuzhu Village, everyone packed up their equipment, took off their clothes and put on their hats. Under the leadership of the guide, our hiking team went straight to the peak of Cuilei Mountain.

Look up and see the mountain, step forward. Follow a winding mountain road and head into the depths of the mountain. There are dense bamboo trees on both sides of the mountain path, providing dense shade and confusing morning mist. Walking into the bamboo forest, "there are no people in the empty mountain, but you can hear people talking" and it is quiet. Walking through the tree-lined path, sometimes you pass by reed marshes with fluttering snow, sometimes you can see dead leaves blown by the autumn wind falling on your face, sometimes you can hear the sounds of cliffs and birdsong, and the joyous songs, laughter and screams of travel companions, one after another. From Baibuling to the Xiaoluoling Hydropower Station Canal, the gurgling spring water flows past us along the creek, making a tinkling-ding-dong-dong sound; some unknown birds sing and fly across the sky; a clump of trees on the roadside Clusters of wild flowers also waved to us, as if welcoming our arrival.

The towering trees and green bamboos cover the blazing sun, the fragrance of wild flowers is refreshing, and the warm mountain breeze blowing by is extremely comfortable. On both sides of the mountain road, there are dense clumps of green bamboos, blocking out the sun; on the hillside, there are thick pine trees, lush and green. I saw majestic mountains, lush pines and cypresses, deep and winding canyons. The further you go up, the thicker the green bamboos on both sides become, and the surrounding mountains become more and more cloudy, with no sign of the Cuilei Peak visible. When we entered the jungle, we were fully armed, wearing hats, turbans, gloves, machetes and straw sticks. Entering the high mountains, the guide has been clearing the way ahead, cutting through thorns and cutting off some plants that obstruct the path. He will also make some identifiable marks on the trees along the way, or provide guidance on which direction is more correct.

There are many unknown flowers and plants along the way, and there is a kind of strange and beautiful flower, white with pink and yellow, bright like azalea, blooming quietly in a green jungle, it is really "a little red in the green jungle" ! What made everyone happy the most was the discovery of several wild lychee trees on the hills. Under the warm wind and the scorching sun, the charming crimson wild lychees were swaying in the green. Under the guidance of the travel friends, the guide hula hula. I climbed up the wild lychee tree and picked the crimson wild lychees one by one. Everyone tasted them one by one. The shell was like red silk, the membrane was like purple silk, the flesh was as shiny as snow, and the slurry was sweet and sour. There is a poem by Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty: "The concubine riding in the world of mortals laughs, but no one knows that it is the lychee coming."

The mountain road is rugged and full of thorns, and various mountain flowers are colorful and sometimes bring fragrance. Continuing forward, we are becoming more and more integrated into the jungle. It seems that we have reached the heart of the forest. The climbing process is getting more and more difficult. All kinds of strange rattans are suspended in the air in a mess. Except for some parts that have been cut off, we often need to look like Like an animal with four legs, it crawls forward to prevent the cane from catching the backpack and causing it to fall or become immobilized. Difficulties are always ahead, and there are more troubles. Thorny plants and vines, felled and abandoned branches block the way forward. A female traveler's mesh gloves failed to protect her, and her hand was cut; the ground was loose. There are more and more stones, and it is easy to slip when walking. Some stones are covered with annoying moss, and it is easy to slip if you step on them lightly. A male travel companion’s feet stepped on the moss platform and he slipped. On the ground, I almost slipped several times, fell to my knees, or landed on my butt. During that period, we all worked together and united as one to successfully overcome a major difficulty.

We fought through obstacles, using our hands and feet, and after more than three hours of climbing, we finally reached the side peak of Cuilei Mountain, which is about 900 meters above sea level. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, you can have an unobstructed view of Nanfeng, Ningdu and Guangchang counties. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can feel the rough and majestic atmosphere of Cuilei Mountain. The feeling of "only the sky is above, and no mountains are aligned with it. The sun is approaching when you look up, and the white clouds are low when you look back." There is an iron fixed vertex coordinate on the top of Cuilei Mountain, which is the coordinate of the national surveying and mapping realm and the coordinate of the forest resources census. The time is February 1958.

It was around 12 o'clock at noon. We were tired, our feet were sore, and the ligaments around our ankles felt like they were being strained. We were a little hungry, so we chose a more open area, and everyone began to eat bread, eggs, snacks, and fruits with relish. , the cool wind at the top of the mountain blew away our climbing fatigue, and everyone started talking about the sea again...

Happy time is always short. After a short rest, the clock pointed to 13:20, we packed up and started going down the mountain. Since it would take nearly two hours to continue climbing the main peak of Cuilei Mountain, the guide asked us to go down the mountain, otherwise we would not be able to get out of the mountain before dark. In order to save time, the guide led us straight down from the top of the mountain. Looking around, we saw that the slope down the mountain was almost 60 or 70 degrees. The mountain here was dangerous, with rock walls standing on the road. The road was less than a foot wide. There are dozens of feet of cliffs, and below them is an abyss. Passing by here, looking down, I couldn't help but feel cold, so I could only hold on to the rocks and descend. It is normal to continue to climb hard and move forward with your hands on the ground, because you have to hold on to the roots of the tree and hold the green bamboo as an external force to move forward. Walking down the ridge, in the sparse bamboo forest, along the path walked by the predecessors, not far away is a small stream, the gurgling water caressing the water plants on the bank, echoing the green water plants swaying under the water And, our hearts suddenly soften. It's true: "The lotus creeps up and rests on the bamboo roots, and the autumn peak on the noon path is still hot. At dusk, the green mountains are gradually getting colder, and the waterfall and flower source are suddenly found through the cliff. The dragon in the ancient pool washes its pearls with thousands of beads, and the clear Han toad peeks at the mat. Visitors to the resort It's hard to get together, and it's almost sunset."

More than an hour has passed, and the hour hand has pointed to three o'clock in the afternoon. Rugged mountain roads, dense bamboo forests, we walked through shrubs and thorns. Follow the mountainside path upstream and enter the stream. At first, there are pastoral scenery on both sides of the river. When you walk about 300 meters, you enter the deep valley. Along the way, we went down the stream. Sometimes the stream flowed vertically down from a height of five to six meters. The pool was deep and long. Sometimes the rocks on both sides were as smooth as a knife cut. The water was three to four meters deep and crystal clear. At the bottom, there are countless fish swimming in the water. There is a poem that describes the waterfall very vividly: "The wild branches are thin and green, the rocks are secluded, and the jade dragons are walking on the cliff. The clouds are hanging down and the curtains are moving, and the moon marks are floating on the crystal. It is amazing that the rain is still flying, and the roar of the hidden dragon is still coming out of the ravine. More at dusk. The mist is dripping, and the coldness is scattered across the cold Qiu."

Walking along the mechanical farming road, the mountains on both sides of the bank are relatively gentle, with green peaks and towering bamboo trees. There are countless flowers and plants on the surrounding stone walls and in the clumps of shrubs and bamboo forests. There are flowers growing softly in the middle of the water, wild ramie growing hard on the mounds by the cliff, and bamboos growing densely into a family. When they hear the distinguished guests coming, even the mountain trees are exploring stubbornly at the bottom of the shadowy cliff. Come out and wave your hands from a distance. After passing the creek and climbing rocks, we walked along the secluded creek. The terrain here is relatively open, with small bridges, flowing water and houses appearing in front of us. We finally walked out of the embrace of the mountains.

We crossed the ravine and traced the Luoling River, which made people feel as if they were trekking in the Amazon rainforest. The rare plants, steep rocks, clear water, gloomy bamboo forests, decayed dead trees, etc. made people walk in it, which made people feel surprised and happy. If you are not careful, you may slip due to moss, miss your footing due to loose soil, be stabbed by a thorny plant, or be forcefully kissed by an unknown caterpillar, but these are nothing. You have successfully climbed through this place, and when you look back on your journey, your heart is full of pride and pride: Although you are sleepy and tired, you have endless aftertaste and are extremely happy.

Many people say that Cuilei Mountain has no good scenery. I say that outdoor attractions and famous mountains and rivers do not necessarily have to be there. When you have been busy for a period of time, changing the environment, changing your mood, and getting out into the fresh air will make you more energetic and energetic. Go to work. Mountain climbing is not only fitness, but also a culture. Perhaps the charm of mountain climbing lies in the experience of challenging oneself and the understanding of people and nature after climbing.
