Chasing fame and fortune life tired, tired, want to clear the mountains and green water, quiet and faraway place "small hidden" a bit, we also have such an idea?

To Tangchi town more than half a year, has always wanted to see the surrounding mountains, because the old village is also located in the foothills of the mountains, and the terrain here is very similar. Sometimes far from looking, always think of the mountains will be what kind of scenery, after all, here is considered the south, always different from the north, right?

Wednesday was a day off for the townspeople's school, and Grandma Huang from the club invited us to her house again, saying that the chestnuts on her mountain were ripe and that we could go and pick them. Almost two months from the last invitation, today happens to be everyone is free, all nine people a discussion, decided to climb the mountain together to go on an autumn excursion.

Just after breakfast, Grandma Huang waited in front of the school, a few of us rode on the bike first, Grandma Huang and a few other teachers walked in the back, to the collection of the Pure Residence, put down the car, we will walk together. In the embrace of nature, we were in a good mood, singing and laughing along the way, while enjoying the scenery of "small bridges and flowing homes" along the Mater River. Between the words, into a narrow mountain road, grandmother said "almost there", slowly appeared a few homes, although the dilapidated, but it is exactly the look of the mountain village I know. Looking around, I heard a burst of elegant ancient music, we followed the sound to the door of the family to listen to, can not help but sigh in admiration, there really are hidden in the mountains in the high people, are discussing whether or not to knock on the door to visit, Grandma directly pushed the door to let us go in, in front of the eyes of a very high steps, a grandfather sitting in front of the door, busy greetings to us into the house, it turned out to be the family's grandmother in the TV series, the ancient music is exactly the same from the TV! We can not help but laugh, and grandparents chat a few words, out to continue to rush.

The roadside slopes, full of bamboo, chestnut trees, persimmon trees and some unknown trees, I was the first time to see the chestnut tree, looking at the tree full of chestnuts is very strange, really want to immediately pick some to. Soon, the grandmother's home to, is a very large compound, a set of old house has been unable to live, put the sundries and fried tea household goods, another set of two-story house to live. Grandma told us that her partner died early in life, son and daughter have become a family, grandmother rented a house in the town, this is not often over. The yard planted with pear trees, osmanthus trees, tea trees, and a well, without the noise of horses and cars, really a little bit of the flavor of the world, some people jokingly said that they do not want to go back to the closure of the retreat here.

A little rest, we can not wait to let the grandmother to lead us to pick, so take the bamboo basket to the door, we split the action, pick chestnut pick chestnut, pick persimmons pick persimmons, chaotic busy. I took a long bamboo pole, like their appearance crackling hit, hand to pick up the basket, I did not expect to be the chestnuts tied hands, the original chestnuts outside the bread is hard thorns, where is the imaginary pom-pom ah! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a new pair of shoes or boots.

A basket of fruit picked down, some people sent to the yard, some people began to specialize in peeling chestnuts, busy, suddenly heard shouting "Grandma don't fight, Grandma don't fight", Grandma shouted "to fight!" "Grandma, don't fight," "to fight!" So many times, is wondering, someone laughed, it turned out that Mr. Li see enough to pick, so that Grandma do not hit with a pole, Grandma preferred to hit, we are more laughter, the joy of picking permeate this peaceful village. Almost noon, the grandmother greeted us to eat buns, let us first pad hunger, said a moment to her daughter's home guests. Some people feel tired, said as soon as possible to return to it, the grandmother said that there has been in the preparation of lunch, said what also let us go over, and finally discussed or to guests, do not waste a piece of the grandmother's sincerity, so we all hands, will be peeled chestnuts, and persimmons in a separate bag, each person to carry some of them, and grasp the road.

Grandma's daughter lives on the other side of the mountain, to go over the mountain, grandma in front of the guide, we carry a big bag, along the winding mountain road forward. The grandmother's nimble pace, how does not seem to be more than seventy years old, but we are these young people tired of panting, always lagging behind. The mountain road is usually less people walk, some sections are covered by weeds and bushes growing on both sides, if not for someone to lead, even the road to be unable to find. Worse still, there were puddles of water on both sides of the road, which made people worry about falling down, so we were reminded from time to time to pay attention to the puddles on the left, and the puddles on the right! There is a puddle on the left", "Be careful! There is water on the right side". The weather is also hot, walking everyone sweating, a little bit of a mess.

In this way, we probably walked for more than half an hour on the mountain road, over the top of the mountain, out of the mountain forest, and suddenly the eyes opened up, near the farmland, far away from the village, a little bit of "the mountains are full of doubt and no way out, the flowers in the darkness of the countryside," the feeling of the village. Through the sweet potato fields, corn fields, rice paddies, and after a village, came to a small river in front of the river is not deep or wide, but there is no bridge, and even stepped over the stone is not there, we are talking out of ideas, some say go around, and some say that took off their shoes and dribbled through the water. Finally or someone in front of the slow throw stone pad feet, everyone followed, only counted on the past, in the middle of the inevitable people lose their footing wet shoes, causing everyone to laugh.

In the afternoon, we finally arrived at the grandmother's daughter's home, to the door, the grandmother shouted "to the, out of it", daughter and son-in-law immediately came out to meet us, greeted everyone wash face wash face, drink tea tea. A few of us out of the door, looking around, the village is very open, surrounded by mountains, mountains and water, really a piece of feng shui treasure land ah. They have a square pond in front of the house, planted with lotus, a group of ducks in the period of play, the talented Mr. Tan immediately accounted for the mouth of a great "ducks, ducks, ducks, curved to the sky song, white hair floating green water, red palm dialing the clear waves." Although there is a serious suspicion of plagiarism, but also very consistent with the scene. Streets are paved with asphalt, clean and tidy asphalt street side, built against the mountain of a Hui-style residence, white walls and gray tiles, simple and elegant. Dozens of meters to the east, there is a restaurant, named "Hu's Food House", the surrounding scenery is very beautiful, like a garden, a lot of transplanted trees and a variety of flowers and trees. Food house is an antique building, decoration is very good, two stone lions in front of the door, a large wooden door on both sides of a couplet "Liu Ling asked who is good, but Li Bai replied to the fragrance of this house", stone paved courtyard planted a lot of bonsai, set off the porch and openwork windows, the charm of the ancient world. The owner is also simple, very patient to watch us take pictures, visit.

After leaving the house, I heard someone introduce that the owner of this restaurant Hu in the provincial capital business, very successful, and then returned to his hometown to invest in a garden company, hundreds of acres of land in the vicinity are bought, is building a tourist resort, a variety of supporting facilities are very complete. We can not help but admire the boss of the business capacity and vigor, from scratch, the development of such a good can not forget to return to their hometowns to invest in construction, indeed worthy of the reputation of Huizhou merchants, "Jia and good Confucian". When their ancestors were active in the north and south of the Yangtze River, on both sides of the Yellow River, "no Huizhou is not a businessman" called the world, in China's business community dominant for hundreds of years. Huizhou is the hometown of Zhu Xi, the great Confucian scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, known as "Confucianism alone", neighboring county of Tongcheng is the birthplace of the "Tongcheng School" in the Qing Dynasty, the literary style is flourishing, influenced by this, most of the Huizhou merchants show "Jia but good Confucianism The characteristics of "JIA and good Confucianism" and the moral ethics of "sincerity", "faith" and "righteousness" as the root of doing business have won them credibility in the business world. I believe that in this new era of market economy, the descendants of Huizhou merchants will surely cross the sea of business and become a new generation of successful Confucian businessmen.

The grandmother came looking for us, pulling us home for dinner. The table is full of food, slaughtered duck and fish, and a few vegetables, originally in the grandmother's home has eaten a few big buns, but also full of it, can not stand the grandmother and the family's strong advice, had to let go of the stomach and eat a meal. Talking, almost three o'clock, we have to go back. Daughter and son-in-law sent out a long way, said the hospitality is very bad, when the new house is built, will definitely come back to visit. Looking around the beautiful environment, feel their sincere and simple heart, we really do not want to leave, the grandmother's daughter said, then stay, this is suitable for living, the village ninety years of age, there are a lot of hundreds of old people, listen to the more enviable.

Along the mountain road, around the blue waves of the Jin Tang Lake Reservoir, in the Acacia Forest Park, encountered the cultural center of the teacher to lead the field to learn traditional culture of friends excursion, we praised the cultural center to promote the traditional culture of the achievements, praised the "material and heavenly treasures, the people of the townships," Tangchi. Yes, Tangchi is really a pure land, not only has a beautiful natural environment and deep cultural heritage, but also has people of benevolence in vigorously revitalizing the traditional Chinese culture, our ancient sages looked forward to "the old have a final destination, the strong have a use, the young have a growth, the widowed, orphaned, disabled and sick people have a support" of a harmonious society is not far away. The first time I saw this, I couldn't help but think of the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu You's "Touring Shanxi Village":

"I don't laugh at the farmers' wine, but I do keep my customers' chickens and dolphins in the year of plenty;

There is no way out of the mountain, and there is another village in the darkness.

The piping and drums follow the Spring Festival, and the ancient style of frugality and simplicity of clothing exists;

From now on, if you are allowed to idle on the moon, you will be able to use your staff to knock on the door at night."

When Lu You in the process of traveling to the mountain village, must be like us with similar insights and feelings it, or not how this poem is so suitable for our mood, and would like to write another one is afraid that can not be, and there is no need
