In the Qinling Mountains, the terrain of Shangluo has similar terrain in various places. It is a small river that can last dozens to hundreds of miles long, and is called a river. The highway is built along the river, with flat land several hundred meters wide on both sides, extending to the foot of the mountains. There are countless deep ravines on both sides of the highway. The trickle of the ravine flows out and flows into the river, like capillaries, flowing into the veins, and then flows southeastward, and flowing into the rivers such as Danjiang , Hanjiang , etc.
In Shangluo, mountain ditches are generally named after a certain ditch. For example, if a certain ditch moves east and west, it is called East Gate or West Gate; if there are many pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, chestnut trees, chestnut trees, , and persimmon trees, it is called pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine trees, pine
Almost everyone lives in every flat land and every ravine with water. The names of each township and village also seem strange, but there are rules to follow.
For example, the small basins on the riverside are generally named after the word Ping, such as Hanziping, Guangdong Ping, Beikuanping, Nankuanping, and Liuxianping.
The disadvantage of this naming is that it is easy to rename it. For example, there are one or two in almost every township in Donggou, Xigou and Shigou.
Some of the valleys have interesting names, such as Wafanggou. Because the ditch was poor in the past, most people lived in thatched houses, and only one family lived in tiled houses, so the ditch was named. Luzigou originated from a person named Luzi who had lived in the ditch before. Although their family had moved away for decades and Lu Zi had already passed down, the name of the ditch had been passed down.
In addition, there are some mountain valleys with unknown names, such as Fuling Valley, Qingmian Valley, Zifang Valley, Trench, Zhuragou, Snake Valley, Magou, Red Copper Valley, Tiaozi Valley, Miaogou, Glugou, etc., and so on.
In addition to Pinghegou, there are also some places named after the characters "River, Mountain, Temple, and Temple", such as Taiping River, Damian River, Machi River, Lincha River, Yanchi River , Baijia Mountain, Yujia Mountain, Huo Shen Temple, Dragon King Temple, Jinling Temple , Kanshan Temple, and Hongyan Temple.
Some place names are very strange, such as Zashui and Lantian each have a place called Jiujianfang. It is said that it was because there were nine rooms there during the Ming and Qing dynasties. There are places in Shangxian and Shanyang respectively called Shangguanfang and Xiaguanfang. If Shangguanfang is interpreted as a gathering place for people with the surname Shangguan, how can Xiaguanfang understand it? I have never heard of a lower-ranking official.
In Shang County, there is another township called Niucao. It is said that there is a mountain ridge here, which looks like a cow head, and the low and concave at the foot of the mountain is like a groove, so it is called Niucao. It is divided into Dongniucao and Xiniucao in its direction.
Decades ago, most of these ravines were densely populated, and people could be seen in almost all places where houses could be built and people could be lived. Even some places where people rarely travel often live in three or five households.
These people went to the town to go to the market and had to get up early in the morning and cross mountains and rivers. Even if you go outside the ditch, you sometimes have to walk for a few hours. When farming and going to the mill, I rely on carrying the fertilizers on my back, and I carry the food on my back.
According to the elderly, those people chose to live in the closed mountains because they had been wars for years before liberation, bandits were rampant, and people's safety was not guaranteed. Living in a ravine is safer than living on the roadside.
In the past, in the past, the resources in the valley were richer than other places. When they went out, they were forests, and they were not afraid of burning firewood. In addition to farming, people in the mountains can also earn extra income by cutting trees and collecting herbs. In the 1990s, some people in the valley gradually became rich by growing mushrooms and growing dinosaur, which made people living in Sichuan Road envious.
However, with the continuous development of social economy, the shortcomings of living in the valley are becoming increasingly obvious, and transportation, production and life are seriously inconvenient, and water treatment is difficult. It is precisely because of this that most people in the valley have moved out of the deep mountains, either into the city, or placed in the riverside rivers and towns.Only some ancient adobe rooms were left, which slowly collapsed in the wind and rain, and were eventually flooded by the increasingly dense weeds and withered poplars, leaving only some strange place names.
In a few decades, after all the left-behind old people have passed away, these place names may be gradually forgotten by people. Young people may not return to these ravines and do not remember the names of them, but it is undeniable that their fathers and ancestors did live here, and these ravines have witnessed the suffering history of their ancestors and their joys, sorrows, and joys.
