Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation balyanlkalla mountains originating from the qinghai-tibet plateau, flows through qinghai, sichuan, gansu, ningxia, Inner Mongolia, shaanxi, shanxi, henan, shandong and other nine provinces and autonomous regions, and finally into the bohai sea, in its 5464 km of the long journey, across the plateau, plain, through the canyon, flows through the formed large and small, many of the winding bay road, As the folk song goes: the Yellow River under heaven ninety-nine bay. In the forms of the many corners, flows through the jinshaan gorge in the middle, is located in the suburb, shanxi and shaanxi yanchuan formation in turn by the heroes, yonghe bay bay, guo home in the valley, river Hui bay, White House valley, fairy bay and in the home and so on seven big mouth bay bay, is China the largest and most populous of the river, the most complete development QuQun snake river canyon type, Known as "Qiankun Bay", it was approved by the Ministry of Land and Resources as Yellow River Snake Curvature National Geological Park in 2014. Yellow River yonghe qiankun bay is not only a rare tourist resort, is an ideal place for scientific research, here are the unique geological landform, hydrology and geographical environment, the stratigraphic profile is clear, structure feature, geological structure for the research of the loess plateau, the ecological environment, rock features provide the scene of the investigation and physical specimen, has the very high aesthetic value, scientific value, humanistic value.

Aesthetic value

We examine the positive effect of Qiankun Bay on the aesthetic subject from the aesthetic perspective, and qiankun Bay has the characteristics of beauty in form, sublimity and harmony.

68 kilometers of the Yellow River flows through the territory of suburb, a total area of 105 square kilometers, the township waist river rock Hui village and shaanxi yanchuan village in the village of two peaks in the a big bay, the "S" type high overlook, the "S" type bay road like "tai chi diagram of Yin and Yang" of Chinese traditional culture, and "S" two each have an ancient village in the bay, namely: He hui Li village, Fuyi River village, these two villages are like two eyes of taiji double fish map, made by heaven and earth, very magical. This taiji Yin and Yang picture, spread out between heaven and earth, becomes the most magnificent and beautiful scene in the Bay of Heaven and Earth.

When the Yellow River flows through the Yonghe section of Shanxi And Shaanxi Grand Canyon, it twists and turns and twists and turns, naturally forming the image of "Chinese Dragon", which is amazing to the world.

On February 1, 2011, luo Wanxiong, a reporter from Guizhou Evening News, took a realistic picture of the Yellow River in Yonghe County from an airplane at an altitude of 10,000 meters. After comparison, the "Chinese dragon" in the photo is exactly the same as the dragon on the wall of the Nine dragons in the Forbidden City, and the dragon on the dragon robes of the emperors.

We look at the gulf of Qiankun, lofty image, majestic, instantly feel the great mother, the great Yellow River, set up in the heart of lofty and awe. To wander around the bay, in the face of our country at present the most densely populated, the largest and most complete developed, the main river meander valley type, you will be one of nature's great deep shock, in this case, the Yellow River to wear cliff crack shore roar, flowing in the bosom of mountains, showing the most wen wan affectionate, quiet mind, harmonious atmosphere, the mother could, and mother river on both sides, Due to the long-term effect of the river formed a steep cliff, such as knife cut axe cut, as high as 100 meters, a precipitous precipice, rugged and majestic. In the Gulf of Qiankun, we can see the bay connected, road, mountain and water, day and ground, dynamic and static, and straight, majestic and gentle, rough and delicate, each other reflect the beauty of atmospheric harmony, appreciate the Gulf of Qiankun, you can use a big vision, climb into the distance, see the sky high and clear, clouds fickle; See the Yellow River winding round, white fog seems to have no; See mountains unbroken, steep cliff ups and downs, right now, although visitors such as weave, human voice, but the trifling noise of this earth and impetuous, how can be in the vast world between the stir up a ripple? Through this glitz, we can actually feel the atmosphere and tranquility of the Bay. Appreciate qiankun bay, can also use a small perspective, bow carefully, see water rinse rock, polished into different forms of natural stone, see wind and rain erosion cliff, create a natural day into the magical mural, see the Yellow River tree of life, see the hundred years of ancient crossing, see "five elements of the village" yonghe guan, see nuwa ancient temple...... Qiankun Bay everywhere can show the value of the magnificent and magnificent aesthetic works formed by the magnificent and exquisite workmanship of nature. Qiankun Bay is one of the most dazzling pearls in the Grand Canyon of Shanxi and Shaanxi. It was honored as one of the ten most beautiful Grand Canyons in China by China National Geographic magazine as early as 2005.


Scientific value

Yonghe Qiankun Bay of the Yellow River is located in the core area of Shanshan Grand Canyon on the Loess Plateau. There are a large number of physical specimens and investigation sites of topography and geomorphology, ecological restoration and protection, and hydrogeology, which are of high scientific research value and exploration and discovery value. It is mainly reflected in its typicality, rarity and completeness.

typicality

The snake-like landform of the Yellow River preserved in qiankun Bay has experienced at least three important development stages: the formation of straight reaches by downward erosion, the formation of wide valley meander bed by measuring erosion, and the formation of snake-like valley by downward erosion again, which are typical "rejuvenation" phenomena of river evolution. The representative of the "First River"; It is of great scientific value to study the formation and evolution history of the Yellow River and the formation of loess plateau.

scarcity

According to the data provided by the Institute of Science and Technology Information of Shaanxi Province, qilian Bay is confirmed to be the most densely preserved, the largest and the best developed trunk stream canyon snake in China. With the rapid downcutting of the Yellow River in Qiankun Bay, most of its short tributaries are suspended on the bank slope of the valley wall, forming the "hanging valley" landscape everywhere on both sides and the accompanying beaded water-erosion caves and falling-water shoals, which are also extremely rare in major rivers in China. The wind-eroded niches of sandstone bank slope along the Yellow River are rare geomorphic landscapes in north China formed by special stratum under special environment, and have high scientific research value.

integrity

Qiankun Bay Yellow River snake winding seven connected, constitute a section of the Yellow River Shanxi Shanxi Valley the most complete dragon snake landscape. The seven bends in qiankun Bay form from north to south, which are connected with each other and follow each other naturally. They are a series of meander geomorphological landscape carved and left behind in hydrodynamic environment, recording the natural evolution process of the Yellow River snake from north to south. They are naturally complete in both macroscopic geomorphology and microscopic phenomena. The qiankun Bay retains all the geomorphic landscapes of river action, including the concave bank erosion and convex bank accumulation formed by the Yellow River in the geomorphic evolution. River bed deep trough, shallow beach, edge beach, heart beach, river island and other accumulations; Grooves, caves and potholes shaped by transverse, longitudinal and vertical circulation; Erosion, pedestal, embedment, accumulation and other river terraces are available. This shows the richness of scientific value in the Qiankun Bay area of the Yellow River. Moreover, experts in ecology, hydrogeology and other aspects should come to Explore the unknown scientific "secrets" of Yonghe Qiankun Bay.

Humanistic value

At Yonghe Qiankun Bay, we truly appreciate the indomitable and courageous spirit of the Yellow River, feel the highest human realm of inclusive atmosphere and harmonious coexistence, and realize the great power of the red land and the red gene.
The Yellow River in yonghe Qiankun Bay not only shows her external natural beauty, but also releases her inner spiritual beauty. Come to the Gulf of The Yellow River, we can more intuitively understand, it is the Yellow River to her unremitting self-improvement, the Yellow River spirit, gave birth to the spirit of the Chinese nation. We from the Yellow River in Yonghe 68 kilometers of mileage, it is not difficult to imagine the Yellow River over the mountains, through the gap crack bank, indomitable strong; From the Yellow River in the twists and turns of the snake-like bay calmly forward, it is not difficult to understand the Yellow River with her wisdom to awaken the awakening of the Chinese lion. We can better understand the inclusiveness of the Yellow River, which gathers baihe, Heihe, Fenhe, Weihe and more than 40 rivers and thousands of rivers, from the inclusion of small streams in the Qiankun Bay of the Yellow River. We learn from the sites of Neolithic age, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties left by the Yellow River in Yonghe river valley, ancient ferry and villages of Yonghe pass and over 20,000 people of jujube forest of over 200,000 mu, we can deeply appreciate the holy of Yellow River to nourish all things and nourish people. Exploring the origin of Chinese culture, we know that Fuxi created the doctrine of Yin and Yang tai Chi, and pioneered the Chinese civilization. Qiankun Bay is such a place to enlighten human wisdom. It is said that Fu Xi, the first ancestor of the Chinese nation, realized the tao of Yin and Yang tai Chi by appreciating the wonders of the gulf of Heaven and Earth, where mountains and rivers embraced each other. Qiankun is heaven and earth, place oneself in the Bay of Qiankun, walk between heaven and earth, we will naturally produce "heaven is vigorous, the gentleman to unremitting self-improvement" heroic and "terrain kun, the gentleman to carry things with virtue" magnanimity, this is the spirit of heaven and earth, the spirit of qiankun. It contains the cultural concept of "unity of man and nature", which is a great contribution of ancient Chinese philosophy to mankind.
Coincidentally, in the beautiful Qiankun Bay, the mother river winds and lingers, forming a vivid picture of the "dragon". Undoubtedly, Qiankun Bay has become the earliest visual image of the "dragon". The Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation, and the dragon is the totem and symbol of the Chinese nation. In the Yonghe Qiankun Bay in the middle reaches of the Yellow River and the hinterland of China, the natural landscape of "Chinese Dragon" has been found dormant for thousands of years, which further confirms the historical origin of Yonghe Qiankun Bay and Chinese dragon totem.
Experts from the Geographical Society of China believe that Qiankun Bay is the source of dragons in geographical sense. They concluded that it was thousands of years ago that the Fuxi tribe saw the Yellow River in front of them like a dragon on the top of a mountain beside the Gulf of Heaven and Earth, and drew the dragon image accordingly. The totem of Fuxi tribe was born and gradually evolved into the spiritual totem of the Chinese nation. The Yellow River's breeding of national spirit and national culture is most directly reflected in qiankun Bay. Here, although the Yellow River thousands of times back, but determined to the east of the goal has never changed; Here, the Yellow River accepts hundreds of rivers and does not choose small streams, showing a broad mind and spirit; Here, the Yellow River calmly magnanimous, quietly flowing, accumulated courage of the will and strength. Qiankun Bay reflects the firm belief of the Yellow River, the broad mind and the wisdom of relaxation, which are the symbol of our national spirit.
What is particularly interesting is that on this magical and beautiful land called "Yonghe", heaven sends a Gulf of Heaven, which closely links the essence of Chinese culture, contains the cultural concept of the unity of man and nature, cycle and endless life, and the broad and profound philosophical connotation, endows "Yonghe" with a better meaning. Some experts point out that Yonghe is the Big Dipper City, and the Big Dipper is revolving around the North Star. It is called "Yonghe", which means eternal harmony, harmony, harmony, warmth and beauty. This is the rich connotation of yonghe culture and the real meaning of "Yonghe".
In February 1936, MAO Zedong and Peng Dehuai led the Anti-japanese vanguard army of the Chinese People's Red Army to cross the river and march eastward, which strengthened the strength of the Red Army, promoted the formation of the Anti-japanese national United front and promoted the development of the anti-Japanese national salvation movement.
In Yonghe, Chairman MAO led the headquarters staff to live for 13 days and nights, and organized a military conference, which adjusted the policy of "crossing the river and invading the east, resisting Japan and opposing Chiang" to the strategy of "returning to the west and joining Chiang in resisting Japan", thus reversing the situation of the Chinese revolution. So far in yonghe Red Army memorial hall, still recorded chairman MAO's magical past and the red Army soldiers outstanding achievements. Under the red Army cliff in Yonghe Guan, it is still sung that 12 Red Army soldiers ran out of ammunition and food and jumped into the Yellow River to cover the westward crossing of the large army. At that time, hard-working, kind, simple and brave Yonghe people made indelible contributions to the Red Army's eastward campaign.
Since the founding of new China, the people of Yonghe have made many impressive achievements in this barren and remote land. When you come to the bank of the Yellow River in Yonghe, you can see the three north shelterbelt project stacked, horizontal and vertical lines, neat everywhere, like a green monument, it is yonghe people to improve the poor ecology and survival environment, in the bank of the Yellow River write a brilliant chapter. In Yonghe, the spirit of the Yellow River, the spirit of the nation, the spirit of the Eastern Expedition, the spirit of yonghe, have emerged in a continuous line. Isn't this the epitome of the pioneering progress of the Chinese nation?
"The Book of Han • Ditch Annals" says: "The source of China's rivers to hundreds, mo in Four du, and the river as the zong." Here, the Yellow River, the loess, the yellow skin, all these yellow symbols, this flow through the heart of China, the muddy river into the holy river.
The achievements of human civilization are often the interaction and echo of nature and human wisdom. How important, how profound and how profound is the enlightenment and bearing of Qiankun Bay to Chinese civilization!
