The geographical environment of Yuanjiagou

The whole village is surrounded by mountains and crisscrossed by ravines. A mountain ridge running from north to south lies across the village, dividing the village into two ravines running from north to south. A Feng Shui master said that this is a dragon mountain. At the corresponding positions of the two ditches not far from the mouth of the ditch, a clear spring flows out of each. Some people say that these are the two eyes of the dragon. Everyone in the village drinks water from these two springs. The two streams never dry up all year round. The villagers call them "always flowing water". "Yuanjia Valley, ditch to ditch, two creeks running as ditches, with a population of 400 living at both ends." A jingle circulated by local villagers describes it this way. Yuanjiagou, where the ancestors of the Bai family lived, is divided into the front ditch and the back ditch. It bifurcates at the back ditch, forming two east and west ditches. The two streams flow down the east ditch and the west ditch and merge into the Wuding River. .
