The color of Zhinan Village

This autumn's color seems to be all collected by Zhinan Village. The yellow of ginkgo and the red of maple leaves are the main colors, they are the protagonists of this autumn drama, taking turns on the stage at the top of Zhinan Village. I was healed by this color. The small village of this season has quietly opened its heart to prepare for the arrival of winter, the rice is to be harvested, and the wheat and rapeseed are to be sown. Take advantage of the best sunshine in late autumn to complete the tasks of this solar term. Autumn harvest and winter storage, there is harvest if there is sowing, this is the simplest truth in the world. Zhinan Village in Lin'an, although I have been there many times, every time I can see different scenery, every time there will be different gains. From the road into the mountain in Lin'an, it has already made people feel overwhelmed. On one side of the winding mountain road is the reservoir, extending upwards with the mountain. This season, the upper reaches have dried up, exposing pebbles and beaches. Occasionally, a few Chinese tallow trees are seen and their appearance is immediately stunning. On the side of the road are pine trees that I can't name, and the fallen pine needles on the ground are like two long ribbons. Zhinan Village is located at the foot of Dongtianmu Mountain in Lin'an, on the bank of Nantiao Creek, the source of Taihu Lake, at an altitude of 550 meters. The mountain road can directly drive to the villages on the mountain. But I like to walk up the mountain, about one kilometer ahead of the parking lot is the entrance to walk up the mountain. The feeling of stepping up the steps through the forest is much better than taking a car. There is a natural sky pond covering fifteen acres in front of the village, which is a bit like the Fangtang in Hongcun. The pond water is green all year round, with schools of fish, people living in it, and it is suitable for all seasons. The villagers all live around the sky pond facing south, opened guesthouses and restaurants, and started businesses, taking advantage of the right time and place. The village is surrounded by ancient trees, and there are still more than 340 rare ancient trees of maple, Tianmu ironwood and ginkgo, all of which are nationally protected ancient trees. It seems that everyone is here for the color of this season, and it seems that everyone's memo records the autumn of Zhinan Village. Yes, I am the same, because if I miss it, I have to wait for a year, so we are all more punctual than the solar terms. There are more than 470 acres of terraces on both sides of the top of the mountain, which are spectacular. Some of the rice on the hillside has been harvested and stored, and some have not been harvested. The golden rice fields immediately attracted everyone's attention. The color of Zhinan Village is the most beautiful and mature color I have seen this autumn. The autumn of Zhinan Village is the most beautiful color in this season. Each season has its own personality. "Spring has a hundred flowers and autumn has a moon, summer has a cool breeze and winter has snow. Don't hang idle things in your heart, it's a good time in the world."
