It was in this poem that I fell in love with April. So, during the Qingming Festival holiday, my friends and I came to Louguan, which started our leisure and spring exploration journey of hiking and watching the sea of flowers and watching the four treasures of intangible cultural heritage.

Before the Qingming Festival, I had already made suggestions for building views during the spring outing season. I knew that from the Qingming Festival to mid-May, the Qinling National Botanical Garden, Qinling Sibao Science Park, Louguantai National Forest Park, Shuojingtai, and Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area (Including the God of Wealth Folk Culture Center), Zhongnan Mountain Ancient Building View Historical and Cultural Scenic Area, Yansheng Scenic Area and Huannu Spring Scenic Area have launched a preferential policy of "One Ticket for Qinling Building View". Here, you can not only watch the Qinling National Botanical Garden of Tulip Flowers and the beautiful spring scenery of hundreds of flowers in the spring, you can also enjoy Zhouzhi's local intangible cultural heritage performances in the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area surrounded by cherry blossoms. You can not only have an intimate contact with the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park, You can also go to Xianling Mountain, Huannu Spring, and Yansheng Scenic Area to climb and see the beauty of the Qinling Mountains in spring.

On April 3, the first day of the Qingming Festival, we set off early for fear of traffic jams on the road. As a result, the whole way was smooth. When we arrived at the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area, we entered the Tianyu River Scenic Area in the west before working hours to make the fresh spring morning feel full of the air, which made the grievance of wearing a mask all day long in the city completely released here. The fresh air along the Tianyu River mixed with the fragrance of bauhinia chinensis and cloves, which is heart-warming. Prepares a rare beautiful state of mind for a beautiful day.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, we entered the scenic area as the first group of guests. Puppet shows, ox fighting tigers, Zhouzhi paper-cutting, and dynamic kites by teacher Zhang Tianwei, the master of dynamic kites, were all in preparation. So, we entered the door and walked deep into the garden to see the trees of cherry blossoms decorated in spring.

"Sakura" meets romance for having you.

The Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area has a history of nearly 10 years since its opening. Every spring day, trees and trees bloom, echoing the antique buildings with red walls, gray tiles, carved beams and painted buildings in the garden, making people feel as if they have entered a royal garden. It is eye-catching and intoxicating. While I was intoxicated, I suddenly heard the sound of musical instruments, followed by the sound of the Great Qin Dynasty in the wind. So I walked into the front yard, and the puppet show of Zhouzhi Dayu, an intangible cultural heritage of Shaanxi Province, was already singing.

"Zhouzhi Dayu Puppet" originated from the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. It belongs to a stick puppet and is distributed in Zhouzhi County and western Guanzhong. It was passed down from puppet artist Tang Laoba to Dayu Village. There are now more than 30 performers and carvers. The selection, carving and performance of puppets are all completed among puppet artists in Dayu Village. The locals call them a twist pole.

The main musical instruments to be played include four-sided drums (i.e. Bao drums), yu drums, war drums, tang drums, gongs, small gongs, darao (hinge), small (fan), banhu, erhu, dulcimer, douweng, cello, flute, suona, horn, etc. Its singing is mainly based on Qin Opera, and its main programs include nearly 30 books such as "Spring and Autumn Annals","Xia Hedong","Cut Li Guang" and "Golden Sand Beach". In 2009, it was included in the second batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Shaanxi Province. It is still active among the masses and has become the essence of folk intangible cultural heritage.

I don't understand drama, but I like this puppet show with colorful colors, lifelike characters, and high singing. After listening to it, I still haven't finished it. As soon as the puppet show ended here, the traditional dance drama "Ox Fighting Tiger" made its debut there.

I have filmed "Ox Fighting Tiger" many times, but this time I feel the best. All the actors, cows and tigers have changed into new costumes. The colorful colors of the new costumes collide with the most beautiful April day in the world. It is really a beautiful artistic enjoyment.

"Ox Fighting Tiger" originated from Bajiazhuang of Zhouzhi Louguan at the foot of the Taoist Holy Land Louguantai. It is one of the folk dances of the Han nationality in Shaanxi Province. It is said that a wooden plaque in the well temple with the word Dongshi character in Bajiazhuang records the words "Bajiazhuang played with oxen and tigers during the Qianlong Period." In this way, the history of "Ox and Tiger" is more than 800 years old.

Throughout the performance, there were rolling and jumping, with oxen, tigers and shepherds in a sincere manner, with exaggerated movements and full of fun. The tiger's movements alone have four general trends, eight small trends, and 24 Pingyang trends, which are standing, lying, sitting, shrinking, rolling, going up the mountain, going down the mountain and jumping into a stream. The 24 trends run through the entire dance, portraying the tiger's bravery, shrewdness and naughty. Cows also have power. Their momentum is such as the rhinoceros moon the moon, stroking the fork and licking the back, eating grass, shrinking the fork, and digging ears. They vividly depict the stability, grandeur and simplicity of the cow and vividly express it, interspersed with the shepherd boy's lively waves and playing with the cow, which makes the dance more vivid and exciting, and every performance will welcome bursts of applause. It can be said that the tiger has the power of a tiger, the ox has the strength of an ox, and the child has the interest of childhood. It is extremely exciting. In 2007, it was included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage List of Shaanxi Province and Xi'an City.

After watching the two performances, it was nearly noon. I moved to Zhouzhi's paper-cutting office, and I was also an acquaintance. I had photographed the paper-cutting works of Zhouzhi's paper-cutting artists Li Xia and Ms. Lu Xiaochun many times. Each time I had a different feeling. You can feel the artistic charm of folk artists who created paintings with their skillful hands.

Zhouzhi paper-cutting was called "ribbon-cutting" in ancient times. It is an art used to decorate window frames during Spring Festival, weddings and other seasons, and paper-cutting into paintings. When I was a child, my mother used smoking and dyeing to make paper-cutting, and sometimes I would join in cutting twice.

Zhouzhi paper-cutting is divided into two categories: dyed paper-cutting and monochrome paper-cutting. The works are cut, carved, painted and dyed in neat and meticulous manner, with rigorous composition, rich and colorful colors. Its themes are diverse and rich in content, including historical figures, auspicious animals and birds, auspicious patterns and other themes. In 2011, Zhouzhi paper-cutting was included in the provincial intangible cultural heritage list.

In the intangible cultural heritage exhibition at the Zhao Gongming Cultural Scenic Area, one of the biggest highlights was the dynamic kites brought to Louguan by the dynamic kite master Teacher Zhang Tianwei from Xi'an. They are colorful and realistic in shapes. Although they vary in size, they are exquisite. Cockfighting, red-crowned cranes, pig pigs eat watermelon, crabs, and scorpions are all blown by the wind, stretching their necks and dancing their feet, which is full of dynamic, attracting many tourists to watch and admire.

I once read this sentence in a book: Waste my time on beautiful things. In this morning, I saw the charm of intangible cultural heritage and the beauty of life. I want to say that even if I were given another day to immerse myself in these beautiful things, I would feel: it was worth it! So. I used a large piece of text to record the beauty of this morning. I hope you like it too.

During the journey, in addition to appreciating and recording these beautiful things, delicious food will also bring spiritual pleasure. Especially after appreciating the beauty and gaining a happy mood, delicious food is the best booster during the journey.

The snack street of Zhongnan Mountain Ancient Louguan Historical and Cultural Scenic Area officially opened for trial during the Qingming Festival holiday. There are more than 20 kinds of Shaanxi specialty snacks gathered here, including cold pot skewers, Cuifeng rice, flag flower noodles, Zhongnan hemp twist, Sanqin set menu, fried jelly, stir dough, brown sugar oil cake... Everything is Lao Shan's favorite. A "Spring Banquet" full of fun is presented here one by one. After tasting it, there are only three words: What's up?

It is said that spring brings spring fatigue, but after lunch in Fudi Louguan, I feel refreshed and refreshed. Go to the Qinling Four Treasures Science Park to see the agility and cuteness of the Qinling Four Treasures.

On bright spring days, the "national treasures" in the Qinling Mountains Sibao Science Park are also "rippling in spring".

The agile golden monkey climbed onto the treetops and swung on a swing; the soft and cute giant panda "lay down and eat" looked calm; the proud crested ibis flew around in search of their "lover"; the steady and honest takin slowly basked in the sun; The world's only captive brown giant panda,"Qi Zi", enjoyed the spring day and became a "little star" for big friends and children to take photos one after another.

Bai Juyi wrote in his "Peach Blossom in Dalin Temple": In April, the peach blossoms in Shansi begin to bloom. I think this April should be April in the lunar calendar, and the April we are in is the "most beautiful April day in the world" in the Qinling Mountains National Botanical Garden at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. This is the season when crabapple and tulips are in full bloom. Hundreds of thousands of colorful tulips spread out in a scattered manner along the undulating terrain, complementing the blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, forming a colorful sea of flowers and the most beautiful scenery in spring. It has become a popular check-in point for recent spring outings and flower appreciation. On the west side of the tulip sea, the various crabapple trees in the Begonia Garden are also in full bloom, and the trees are prosperous and beautiful to the extreme.

We originally planned to roam for a two-day trip, but due to something, we canceled the trip to Zhongnan Mountain Ancient Building Temple, Shangxian Lingshan Mountain, Huannu Spring and Yansheng Temple. It was a bit regrettable, but the harvest from this trip was greatly exceeded our expectations. Fortunately, the remaining scenic spots are free scenic spots. I hope to come back to Louguan again when I have time to stay for two days and enjoy the beauty.
