Journey In WuHan

The ferry has stop over at a station for us to head to our next destination Bai Di Cheng whereby Gong Sun Shu when he was standing at the mountain and he looking at the process of his castle being build. He saw white smoke that looks like a white dragon coming out from one of the well in his castle so he name himself as the “White Emperor”( 白帝) and made a statue of himself and place it at a place called White Emperor Temple(白帝庙) but it was destroy in 1512 and was replace 2 times and name as三功祠 and then正义祠 to commemorate Liu Bei and Zhu Ge Liang so there is a saying “白帝城内无白帝，白帝庙祭刘先帝” means that the White Emperor Temple do not have Gong Sun Shu but have Liu Bei.
After that we went Shen Nong Xi(神农溪) which we will experience the old time, when people will row the boat and pull the boat. When we are heading to Shen Nong Jia(神农架), I saw coffin lying in a hole at the mountain, it was said to believe that when the people dead, they will be lift up to a high place and buried there so to let the descendant enjoy good luck and wealth as it is lying on the mountain represent stable in the house and water represent money and wealth.

Reflection
After the boat trackers pull us up to the shore, I wanted to give them some tips but the tour guide told us that we are still student so we do not need to give them tip normally they will ask for tip from the other tourists, if we really want to help them we can buy a book which comes with a CD from him and he will give tips to them and help the children there with their education. Do not know how true but despite it, Eshlyn still brought the book in strong faith that the tourist will do what he have promise. Maybe it is because I always think the bad side of human being maybe it is about that I have some faith in our kind too. There is a saying human are born naturally kind. He also told me that after 20 years maybe there is no more boat trackers as normally a boat is manage by one family but the children now have better education and not willing to take over the business so this boat trackers will slowly fade away on the surface of the world. Kind of sad but at least I have a taste of it before that is what that matters the most.
