There are too many war films and documentaries related to Taihang that are still fresh in people’s memories, and there are too many heroes and historical stories related to Taihang that are moving.

The towering Taihang stretches for more than 800 miles and is divided into North Taihang, South Taihang and West Taihang. The majestic and dangerous West Taihang (the junction of Linzhou City, Anyang, Henan Province and Huguan County, Changzhi, Shanxi Province) is the destination of this outdoor trip. From six o'clock in the morning to five thirty in the evening, the bus traveled more than 900 kilometers and finally arrived in Linzhou, Anyang City, Henan Province.

Every time I travel far, I feel strange and awkward in a foreign land, but in this small northern city, I feel the kindness of a non-foreigner.

The lights in Linzhou flicker at night, and the street stalls one after another around you and the square dance not far away seem familiar. On Longtou Mountain in Longhu·Longtoushan City Park, Wenfeng Tower is brightly decorated with lights, eye-catching like a lighthouse guiding the direction.

In the night sky, the moon travels through the clouds, wiping its face with clouds from time to time, revealing its bright and bright face, reflecting the earth. On the seventeenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the moon in Linzhou is still bright and round, and its bright light is shining thousands of miles away, as if it is pouring from the fifteenth day in the south of the Yangtze River to the seventeenth day in North China. ?

At this moment, standing in the night of Linzhou, the moon and the shadow of the tower are poetically rippling in the water, showing a bit of the style of the Jiangnan water town, but I don’t know if the water has passed through that famous road. The Hongqi Canal was introduced.

When the hard-working and brave Linzhou people worked hard for nearly ten years, they built a 1,500-kilometer-long "artificial Milky Way" red flag on the cliffs of Taihang Mountain with just a hammer, a shovel, and two hands. When the canal was built, the painful history of nine years of drought and water as expensive as oil ended. This gave birth to the Red Flag Canal spirit of "self-reliance, hard work, unity and cooperation, and selfless dedication" that Linzhou people are extremely proud of. The impact on earth is profound.

The second day of climbing eyebrows is located in the Taihang Grand Canyon in Linzhou. "Climbing eyebrows" is a common saying of local mountain people. The so-called "shanmei" refers to the stone crevices on the cliffs of Taihang Mountain. The stone crevices are like eyebrows on the cliff. There is only one person crawling in the stone crevice, and there is an abyss around him, which exercises one's courage and physical strength.

Looking from a distance in the car, the continuous mountain peaks are not high, but as you slowly get closer, the mountains become taller and majestic. When you are in the canyon, you are completely embraced by the mountains. Just like what we have seen in movies and TV shows, there is no grass growing on the cliffs of the Taihang Mountains, and the peaks are broken into layers one on top of another in an orderly manner, just like the annual rings of the mountain. Each layer is hundreds of millions of years old, solid and thick.

The tour guide who picked us up could not tell his age, but the wrinkles on his face were like the Taihang Mountains around him, layer after layer. And they seemed to understand, "You missed like that!" "It's too big to pass!" After saying it several times, we finally understood that it turned out that we were worried that the bags we were carrying were too big and could not pass through the narrow "shanmei", so everyone "Slim down" quickly.

Every time you climb a mountain there is the excitement of exploring the unknown. The mountain road between the canyons of the Taihang Mountains winds endlessly between the towering peaks. When the mountain blocks the view like a wall and you think there is no way forward, you don’t want to turn around and your body turns down again as if passing through the wall. A mountain peak.

There are hawthorn trees and wild dates along the way (of course we are all familiar with them because of the fruits on the trees), as well as unknown wild fruits flashing in the trees around us, which is novel.

The red hawthorns on the tree make people greedy, but they are so sour that they make them salivate. However, those hawthorns that fell naturally under the tree should be mature. A smart travel friend picked them up and shared them with me. As expected, they were sour, sweet and pink.

Although the eyebrow climbing is crawling in the crevices of high cliffs, it gives people a sense of security nestled into the mountain, so when climbing the eyebrows, you do not feel timid or panicked. Afterwards, the travel friends who climbed over the eyebrows were all happy with their success.

If eyebrow climbing is a form of mountain climbing that requires both physical strength and courage, then rock climbing is a form of mountain climbing that requires more physical strength, courage and skills.

When a rock wall of about ten meters appeared in front of me like a wall with a vertical angle of nearly 90 degrees, it was like a "disgrace" for me who had never tried rock climbing before. The steep rock crevices are not as scary as this cliff, not to mention the sound of mountain wind whistling in your ears from time to time. At this time, how important is a strong psychological quality.

Seeing the rope hanging from a high place and constantly floating left and right, I was panicking, but I didn’t know how the geoguide who was behind me just now appeared on the top of the high cliff again, and there were several people there earlier. The brave traveler also climbed onto the cliff.

The ground guide from above used forced Mandarin to remind the climbing friends from time to time: "Hold the rope, don't let it go, and push your feet up!" Although you are panicking, there is no way to retreat and no one can help you. Under such circumstances, you can only rely on your own courage and strength to continue upward.

A travel friend’s feet slipped while climbing, which was shocking, but she finally climbed up bravely. However, I didn't succeed the first time. In the end, by standing aside and observing others carefully, and tying a reassuring rope around his waist, and under the guidance of his teammates, he finally successfully completed his first rock climbing in his life, which comforted him from his first setback.

Every ups and downs in life must be overcome step by step. The wise saying of "self-reliance and hard work" is deeply reflected here and now, making people feel the same.
