Dreaming in Dujiangyan, Reading in Zhongshuge

Stepping into Dujiangyan, you are immediately struck by the profound sense of history. The rushing Minjiang River flows through the Fish Mouth Levee, precisely dividing the water into a 60/40 split and diverting 20% of the sediment. For over two thousand years, it has nourished the Chengdu Plain, creating the prosperity of the "Land of Abundance." The Flying Sand Weir and the Bottle-neck Channel work in harmony, steadily performing their functions of flood discharge and water diversion through the ages, demonstrating the extraordinary wisdom of the ancients in water management. When you turn away from the magnificent water conservancy project of Dujiangyan, the Zhongshuge bookstore nearby opens up another world. Stepping into Zhongshuge, you are greeted by a fantastical mirrored space, with bookshelves stacked layer upon layer, as if endless knowledge extends into the distance. The unique geometric design gives the space a futuristic feel, where books and art, tradition and modernity blend perfectly. At Zhongshuge, you can curl up on a soft sofa with a book about the history of Dujiangyan, tracing the construction of the water conservancy project through the words and feeling the ingenuity of the ancients. You can also immerse yourself in various books on science fiction, literature, and other genres, letting your thoughts wander through the universe of knowledge. When you take a break from the world of books and look out the window, the green mountains and clear waters of Dujiangyan complement the ancient buildings, and the vitality of nature and the precipitation of history become a unique backdrop for reflecting on the content of the books. Dujiangyan and Zhongshuge, one a historical treasure embodying thousands of years of water management wisdom, the other a spiritual hall full of literary and artistic atmosphere. Here, you can touch the pulse of history and enjoy the cultural charm of modern times, allowing your soul to be nourished and elevated in different dimensions.
