驱车北上南下,西去东来,心里老有一个主题——水。一个意味深长的字眼,或河岸、江畔、流域,或世代栖息其间的生民,零星、间断但却滋味淳厚的画面在眼前跳耀。 远远地背离都市,只要仍在公路上,四川盆地古老的原生态环境是无法探寻的。似乎一城一镇一村,挂牌或未有标志的残破的文化遗存仍俯拾即是。这种远祖文明延续的象征渐渐地被更加进步的社会赋予了商业的意义。甚至艺术院校学生仅从欣赏或摹范角度,也会浓度远足到人迹罕至的土著地区搜羅历代流传的生活娱乐用品。
Water has always been interrelated with the people of Sichuan. The ancesters of Sichuan inhabitantscalled "Ba People" were boat dwellers in theancient times. The section of the Jialing River from Langzhong County, via Hechuan County to Chongqing City was then called "Yu River", where the "Ba People"had been dwelling along for generations. One of the facts revealing the close relations between man and water was the construction of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System which represented the highly developed agriculture of Sichuan in the Warrier States period (475-221 B.C.), telling the stories of even colser relation between the people and water. This article just gives a vivid description of the beautiful landscapes and touching stories along this cultural passage.
