There are many classic scenes in "Empty Mountain", which truthfully reflect the difficult situation caused by water shortage on the dam. People's lives are extremely difficult, especially the drinking water problem of the people can not be alleviated. There is a long shot in "Empty Mountain", in which Shao Wazi, a child of the Song Dynasty, enters the room and washes his face with the water left in the basin, and then Shao Wazi habitually pours the water into the small jar at the door. After pouring the water, he covered the jar with a basket and waited for the animals to come back to drink. If there was no water in the ditch in the dam, Song had to carry a basket to fetch water in a water storage pit more than ten miles away. It takes five hours to pick a bucket of water. He comes out from home with a bucket of water on his back in the morning, and sometimes he can't get home until the sun goes down.

Because of lack of water and barren land, Kongshanba can only grow corn and potatoes. Corn has become raw food for villagers. In "Empty Mountain", Shao Wazi went to his neighbor's house to borrow corn with an empty bag. Originally I wanted to borrow 30 Jin of corn, but later I only borrowed 15 Jin. Seven-year-old Shao Wazi went home with a heavy schoolbag. In bazi village in may, the sun is shining. Song Guoyun planted sunflowers in the field. He heard that planting sunflowers can sell a lot of money, and the most important thing is to grow sunflowers well.

In June, the empty mountain dam has been without water for 20 days, and drinking water is a problem that must be solved now. The elders of the empty mountain dam said that there used to be a beautiful river in the empty mountain dam, and the seven fairies who longed for the beauty of the world often secretly came to play in the river under the empty mountain dam. When the Jade Emperor knew this, he flew into a rage and sent seven fairies to the empty mountain to become Buddhas. Finally, the river disappeared and a beautiful and barren mountain appeared, which was named "Seven Immortals Castle" by later generations.

The seven immortals surrounded the empty mountain dam, but they did not exert the legendary magical power. Almost overnight, more than 6,000 mu of potato seedlings in the dam began to dry up, and the most experienced old people didn't know what was going on. Song looked at his dead potato seedlings and shook his head helplessly. After July came, all the potato seedlings planted by Song Yunguo died. At this time, people already know that this is the legendary "Irish famine." As early as 1845, potatoes, the main food ration of Irish people, were infected with germs, and hundreds of thousands of Irish people starved to death because of the serious shortage of food rations. This mass death became the famous "Irish famine". The affected area of this empty mountain dam is rare in China.

In the beautiful October, the sunflowers planted by Song Dynasty miraculously survived under such special conditions. Sunflowers are in full bloom all over the mountains, and brilliant sunflowers reflect hope under the sunlight, which is the hope of survival. The days are still passing day by day, and Song saw hope in the predicament, which is also the hope of the empty mountain! I found it online. I hope I can help you.
