On the Road is the anthology of Lu Jinliang, a writer in Linyi, Shandong Province. This is a travel book. By reading the great rivers, mountains and places of interest in the motherland, the author expressed his love for the motherland, praised life, traced back to history and thought about life.

China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, with famous mountains and rivers all over every inch of the motherland, with grasslands in the north, coconut groves in the south, the sea in the east and plateaus in the west. There are intoxicating natural landscapes and beautiful scenery everywhere. For writers, there are writing materials everywhere, and every trip is the excavation of writing materials. It is from these famous mountains, rivers and places of interest that Mr. Lu Jinliang collects writing materials and absorbs cultural nutrition. In the happy journey, he walked, watched, thought and wrote, thus presenting us with travel notes on the journey.

Life is like a journey. Although we can't predict the time and destination of this trip, we can plan our own itinerary. Being able to have a trip is the most comfortable and happy thing in life, and it is also the best state of life. Unfortunately, most of us can't be so chic and free. Travel is actually a luxury for many people, and some can only be dreams in their hearts. Many times we can't be so chic, either we have money but no time or we have time. The old song "I want to go to Guilin" is a portrayal of most people's real life: I want to go to Guilin, but I have time but no money. I want to go to Guilin, but I have money but no time. ...

For most people, it is a pity that you can't have your cake and eat it. However, for Mr. Lu Jinliang, there seems to be no such regret. Whether it is the north, the south, the East China Sea or the western plateau, he has left his footprints. He measured the great rivers and mountains of the motherland with his own feet; He used his own eyes to gain insight into the landscape of the motherland; He wrote his love for nature with his own pen; He expressed his feelings about life with his heart.

I have to say that Mr. Lu Jinliang is very careful. He carefully observed that the mountains and rivers of the motherland were all under his reading. His feelings are real, and the scenic spots are full of his true feelings. Of course, these are all presented to us through his articles. After visiting Pingyao Ancient City, Mr. Lu Jinliang wrote an article "Impression Pingyao". He wrote: In this rich antique and antique rhyme, I swim, I look for it, I read it, I understand it ... Obviously, Mr. Lu Jinliang is different from ordinary tourists. He travels and sees not only the scenery, but also the history, the pursuit of history and the pursuit of scenery.

Many times, many people go out to travel, purely to see the scenery, just for fun and excitement. After the trip, nothing was left except a few scenic photos or group photos. This kind of trip is actually of little significance. Some people sarcastically say that some tourists "get on the bus to sleep, pee until the end, take pictures at scenic spots and go home without knowing anything", which is a bit biased and harsh, but it is indeed a true portrayal of some tourists. Tourism should not only look at the scenery, but also be exciting. On the contrary, it can cultivate temperament, wash the soul, precipitate thoughts, and improve our understanding of nature and thinking about life through tourism. This is the real essence of tourism.

"On the Road" is divided into six series, namely, northern scenery, colorful Yunnan, northwest customs, eastern landscape, southern splendid, Qilu elegant demeanor. This is distinguished by the author according to the regional characteristics, and it is also convenient for the author to read and summarize. The author started his pilgrimage to Wutai Mountain, looked up at Longmen Grottoes, then strolled through the colorful clouds to see the water in Jiuzhaigou, sang songs in Guilin, and started a spiritual journey in Tibet. From Xi 'an to Yan 'an, he visited Langyun Mountain, a scenic spot in eastern Anhui, and enjoyed the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River and Fengyang Road.

I have to say that this is a happy trip, which is not only a reading of the landscape of the motherland, but also an interpretation of nature. During the tour, the author enjoys the pleasure brought by reading scenic spots. "Wandering between the mountains and rivers, completely immersed in the poetic meaning of the mountains and rivers, the hustle and bustle of the world of mortals, the bondage of the secular, all pay for the mountains and rivers, the impetuous mood tends to be calm, and the secular disputes are completely far away." This is my feeling after visiting Yuntai Wonderland.

My acquaintance with Mr. Lu Jinliang was purely accidental. In the autumn of 20 13, encouraged by my friends, I was going to publish my article in a collection. In the process of looking for a publishing house, I met Mr. Lu Jinliang through a cultural company. He plans to publish his travel anthology, On the Road. Later, I found the contact information of Mr. Lu Jinliang through online search, and had a phone conversation with him to discuss the publication of this book. That was my first contact with Mr. Lu Jinliang. Then we became friends with QQ and talked about writing through QQ. After getting familiar with it, Mr. Lu Jinliang sent me an electronic document "On the Road", hoping that I could help proofread it. I printed out the manuscript and read it carefully. I was quickly attracted by the rich and colorful contents in the book, and I took a fancy to it while proofreading. I finished watching On the Road. Later, after On the Road was officially published, Mr. Lu Jinliang sent it to me by express.

Scenic spots are not only the precipitation of natural landscape, but also the precipitation of years, history and culture. After the washing of nature, some natural landscapes have become the essence and scenic spots. Only historical scenic spots can have cultural connotations and attract people. In recent years, there are many man-made scenic spots. Although they look magnificent and luxurious, they lack the precipitation of time and culture compared with natural attractions. These scenic spots always seem to make people feel that something is missing. Unlike natural scenic spots, after seeing the excitement, I still have a long aftertaste.

Every scenic spot will be accompanied by a beautiful legend, and the author will sort out these legends every time he visits a scenic spot. These legends are not only the embellishment of scenic spots, but also an interpretation, which can help people better understand these scenic spots. There are many myths and legends in On the Road, which are fascinating and immersive.

Tracing back to history is another feature of On the Road. On the Road tells people more about the history, the history of landscape formation, the history of cultural precipitation and the history of time accumulation while introducing the natural landscape. Tourism is actually walking between heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, and shuttling between history and humanity. This is what Mr Lu Jinliang did. When visiting the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland, the author will explore the historical humanities everywhere, and understand the natural humanities by tracing back to history, which will increase the cultural connotation of tourism. On the way, through sightseeing and appreciation of natural landscape, it helps us to understand the formation of natural landscape and human history.

At first, I was surprised by Mr. Lu Jinliang's thirst and familiarity with history. Later, I learned that Mr. Lu Jinliang's major in college was history. Moreover, he has never given up his study of history for so many years. It turns out that Mr Lu Jinliang is a well-trained man. No wonder he knows a lot about history in his article. It turns out that he has learned something, which is useful! Meng Shengxi, a writer in Linyi, commented on Mr. Lu: "Many of his travel essays are full of historical flavor and cultural charm." Indeed, when reading on the road, you can feel the breath of history in every article.
