The unique love between Tongbai Energy Storage Power Station and Tiantai Mountain Waterfall
? Tiantai Mountain, according to legend, the Xuanyuan family, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, also known as the Yellow Emperor, came to Tiantai Mountain in admiration, worshiped the Nine Atoms as his teacher, and learned the method of alchemy. Later, I realized that Tiantai Mountain should be three places, so the mountain range was later named Tiantai Mountain. Tiantai County was named after the mountain, and it was named Tiantai Mountain. Taizhou City was named Taizhou because of Tiantai Mountain in its territory.
The Xuanyuan family realized that the place where they stayed in Shangyingtai was the Qiongtai Immortal Valley. It was called Baizhangkeng in ancient times. The mouth of the valley is where the reservoir, factory buildings and campsite of the Tongbai pumped storage power station are located. Outside the upper entrance of Qiongtai Fairy Valley is the Tongchushang Reservoir. Below the Upper Reservoir is the Tiantai Mountain Waterfall, which is now famous everywhere and is an iconic core tourist attraction that the county government has worked hard to build.
This waterfall was originally called "Sanjing Waterfall", also known as "Baizhang Waterfall". Legend has it that the three dragon pools lead to the East China Sea. It once flowed in front of the Royal Taoist Temple - the first Taoist temple on the rooftop, Tongbai Palace, where the upper reservoir is now. It was a good Feng Shui that "no water coming in, only water going out". The sound of the waterfall is like thunder during the rainy season, reaching Tiantai County ten miles away. In the past, Tiantai people used to sleep on the waterfall.
In the 1960s, the Tongbai Power Station was built upstream of the waterfall for the needs of power generation, irrigation, and flood control. The original Tongbai Palace was sunk to the bottom of the lake due to the construction of a reservoir. Tongbai Power Station was expanded from a small power station with an installed capacity of 580 kilowatts to the second largest power station in Zhejiang Province, with an installed capacity of 6,000 kilowatts, after digging caves six times to divert water.
? But the waterfall stopped flowing. The flow has been cut off for sixty years. Sixty years is the memory of two entire generations. People born after the 1970s no longer know the name Mitsui Falls, nor do they know that there used to be such a huge waterfall so close to the city.
"Akagi's clouds rise to mark the building, and the waterfalls flow to define the road." When people read this poem, they think it describes Shiliang Falls, but it actually refers to Mitsui Falls. Because the rooftop is a basin, it is located on the edge of the basin, which suddenly rises. Therefore, it is abrupt and beautiful, dangerous and beautiful, and it has convenient transportation and is easy to climb and enjoy. It is the dividing line between entering Tiantai Mountain and leaving Tiantai Mountain. So it is famous far and wide. It was once one of the three major landmarks of Tiantai Mountain, as famous as Chicheng Mountain and Guoqing Temple.
The rough years of Mitsui Falls have witnessed the history of the development of Japan and the Republic of China. In the past, people destroyed green waters and green mountains for the sake of development, but when development reached a certain level, green waters and green mountains were restored again. This is the case with Mitsui Falls.
In the early 1990s, the Tiantai County Government actively pursued the Tongshuo project. After twelve years, the East China Tongbai pumped storage power station was finally approved and launched. During the construction process, the newly built Huanglong Reservoir was used as compensation, and Tongbai Reservoir was replaced as the upper reservoir of Tongshu. At the same time, in addition to being the tap water source for Tiantai County, Huanglong Reservoir also supplies power to the original Tongbai Hydropower Station. As a result, 140 employees of Tongbai Power Station have not been laid off, which fully demonstrates the responsibility of state-owned enterprises.
By 2013, Tiantai has built an integrated urban and rural water supply system, using the Lishimen Reservoir with a larger water storage capacity as the source of tap water and drinking water. More than 60% of urban and rural residents in the county have access to clean tap water. At this time, Huanglong Reservoir ceased to function as a drinking water source. At this time, the county government thought of diverting water from Huanglong Reservoir to redevelop the Tiantai Mountain Falls.
Compared with the original Mitsui Falls, the width of the Tiantai Mountain Falls has increased to ten times, the height has increased by 150 meters, and the water flow has doubled. The current height is 325 meters and the flow width is 40 to 50 meters. , changing the original seasonal waterfall into an adjustable, four-season waterfall. And it was renamed "Tiantai Mountain Waterfall".
After the waterfall was put into production in It is beautiful and shocking for a long time.
Therefore, Tiantai people say that without Tongshu, there would be no restoration and expansion of the waterfall. This is the masterpiece of East China Tongbai Pumped Storage Power Station and Tiantai Mountain Waterfall. Strange love.
Tiantai people say that Tongzhu is the best embodiment of "lucid waters and green mountains are mountains of gold and silver", because green energy is made from inexhaustible gold mines, which complements the fairyland.
