It seems that you were through the history, and soaking up the sun in the Ming and Qing dynasty. These courtyards and rocky roads are talking about the prosperity of that time in silence.

Bijiang river is stretching and long, Delong mountain is verdant and green, the scenery is unique here.

Poem and literature, etiquette and cultivation, fragrant tea diffuses, flowers bloom. “rural but not vulgar（乡而不俗）, earthy but not coarse（土而不粗）.” bamboos at the roadside are playing the flute.

A poet said:”listening the water at home, going hiking outdoor.（在家常听水，出户便登山） Humid fog wets clothes, finally wiped sunset likes wearing shoes. （空翠侵衣绿，残霞著屐斑）Melodious birdsong, bright-colored flowers. （鸟声频悦耳，花色每开颜。）In that sunny place, a crescent moon high up in the sky.（更有关晴处，江天月一湾） ” people live and work in peace and the scenery is delicately beautiful, enjoy the ancient things, there is a unspeakable feeling in the heart. Living and work in peace and contentment and advocating education are the soul of Baofeng（宝丰）.

Where the Dizhu（砥柱） bridge was, is a new stone arch bridge. Separated road connects again, remaining the same feeling. Chant of Dizhu bridge said:”Bijiang’s waves surge like tide, Dizhu bridge stands in it（沘江波浪涌如潮，砥柱中流万里桥）. stone bones stand in line like trunk, tying the endless iron rope（石骨一拳排象鼻，铁绳千丈系虹腰）. Cloud and mist lock the river and mountain, Jinjing tears the sun and moon（云江锁住山川气，金井撑开日月杓）. People come and go like walking through the skyline, the river sounds vastly and the hooves sounds rustling（来往人从天际过，河声浩浩马萧萧）.” looking at the magnificent scene, bringing back who’s homesick?
