I recently went to Kantou Village in southern Anhui, on a journey full of mystery and fantasy. I heard that there is a thousand-year-old dream tree here, and many people come to search for it, traveling day and night. I am no exception. I took a car and a train to the small town adjacent to Kantou Village, arranged accommodation in the town, and prepared to set off the next morning. Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, I packed my bags and took a bus to Kantou Village. People on the bus chatted and exchanged information, making a lively and bustling atmosphere to welcome the arrival of dawn. Through a small path on the hillside, this road leads to the entrance of Kantou Village. In this small village, I feel like time has frozen hundreds of years ago. Glancing over, the thousand-year-old Dream Tree is not far away. As I approach, it is astonishingly huge. Looking up at the tree, the tree crown carved by nature rises up to the sky, its foliage dense and exuberant. In an instant, I feel an incredible shock. A thousand-year-old tree, I wonder how many stories are buried inside, I wonder if it has experienced the precipitation of many years in ancient times, which makes me feel a sense of historical weight. This tree is too big, too tall. The eaves, tiles, and houses of the entire village are all under the cover of the millennium garden, echoing with ancient historical thoughts and traditional culture remaining in the village. When I could no longer admire the thousand-year-old tree in detail, I walked to the center of the village where there was an ancient temple. This is the most beautiful place on this road, and it appropriately embodies an intangible faith. When I immerse myself in the peaceful temple and the purple micro-flower tree, I feel as if I can see the soul of this city. The sunlight is still dodging above my head. Deep into the depths of the village, I discovered an ancient ancestral hall. Places like this have been precipitating the inheritance and traditional culture of ancient society for a long time, worn down by time, and walking towards the horizon of heritage. My trip was only a few days, but I really felt the gentleness of the blooming flowers and the weight of the ancient city there. Kantou Village is not big, but it has its own ancient history and mysterious culture, like a thousand-year-old town. I am grateful for this journey, because it has led me to discover the winding and ancient history, feel the charm of traditional culture, and discover many mysterious and interesting stories. Reading through historical classics, searching for millennium dreams, this is an experience that fills me with passion and soul, and also a memorable journey in my life.
