The Loess Plateau is a natural area with special landforms formed by deep loess sediments since the Quaternary period.
The Loess Plateau is the world's largest loess deposition area.
It is located to the west of Xingshan Mountain and to the east of Riyue Mountain in Haiqing Province.
It covers an area of approximately 400,000 square kilometers and has an altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 meters.
Except for a few stony mountains, the plateau is covered with a deep loess layer, with the thickness of the loess ranging from 5080 meters to 150180 meters.
The Loess Plateau is rich in minerals, with large reserves of coal, iron ore and rare earth minerals, and sparse vegetation.
As far as the eye can see, there is no end to the yellow.
Coupled with the still yellow water flow of the Yellow River, the single color makes this place almost a representative area for the yellow race. .
In this Loess Plateau with barren land, serious desertification, and lack of water for farming, poverty is the biggest enemy of the people here besides natural disasters.
The per capita income is less than one-tenth of that in the Jiangnan water towns.
There are many villages that have no other income except growing potatoes and sweet potatoes.
Both the illiteracy rate and living conditions here completely lag behind the pace of the entire Chinese nation.
It can be said that on the Loess Plateau with a harsh environment, the people here are already a key poverty alleviation area in China.
Fan Wei took the train from Beihai to the provincial capital city in the Loess Plateau region, and then took a train from the provincial capital city to the area marked on his map.
The area was vast and sparsely populated, and he had to plan his exploration by car along the lines of the village.
After all, he couldn't find the original ruins of Wuchan Village, so he couldn't find the real location of the Tang Sect ancestor's cemetery.
But this time, he was operating completely secretly by himself, and had no intention of mobilizing troops.
After all, this was to find the biggest secret in his heart, so he did not bring or accompany any of his subordinates or confidante.
He came alone to the place where the yellow sky and thick soil is, in the Loess Plateau.
However, what surprised Fan Wei was that in his impression, it should be a completely yellow loess plateau, but it was not as he expected.
Driving along the car, although the road was bumpy, the dense vegetation around him still made him full of surprises.
Isn't it said that the Loess Plateau is all loess?
How come there are so many oases?
With doubts in his heart, he asked a young man next to him, "Hello, brother, I am here to travel, and I am very curious about what is happening here.
There will be so many woods, isn’t this Loess Plateau full of loess?”
The young man glanced at Fan Wei, his body swayed with the bumps of the minibus and said, "What do you know?
We are not what we were ten years ago.
It is true that the Loess Plateau is all loess, but twenty years ago At the beginning, the government launched the policy of returning farmland to forests.
We were poor at that time and could not afford to grow crops even if we had land.
Our income was too low and there was no way to survive, so the government required expropriation.
They were paid for cultivating the land.
When everyone figured out that they could make more money, they naturally became more motivated.
Let’s take my family as an example.
We originally had 60 acres of cultivated land, but we couldn’t even pay the tuition fees for me and my brother.
But later, 40 acres of farmland were converted into forests, and subsidies were given to the family every year.
Not only did I graduate from high school, but my brother also went to college and became a college student. " The young man looked very proud when he mentioned his younger brother.
Fan Wei said as if he was like this, "Oh, that's right.
I wonder why there are so many woods.
It seems that in the future, this Loess Plateau will be called It’s a green soil plateau, haha.”
"That's no good.
You look like you're from the south.
How could you know how harsh the natural climate here is?
It's pretty good here.
Further west is the Gobi desert.
There are a lot of sandstorms blowing in that area every year, and there are many plants.

I can't stand it, so although this green planting area is constantly expanding, it is impossible to turn it all into an oasis."
When the young man said this, he said with some dissatisfaction, "Besides, we have a lot of mines everywhere.
People are mining indiscriminately, and the vegetation is naturally very serious.
Let’s just talk about this area.
Originally, no mines were found at all, but in recent years, because the mines in the east have been mined, many exploration teams have fled.
Come here, they really found a mine.
But this mine is under a village.
If they want to mine, they will not only destroy the forest that has been planted in the village for decades, but also destroy the entire village.
What do you think this is?"
"It is indeed inappropriate to destroy the natural environment and the appearance of the countryside."
Fan Wei also felt that it was inappropriate and couldn't help but support him, "The government doesn't care about this."
"How can the government control local officials?
They only care about political achievements.
In our Loess Plateau, how can there be any political achievements?
Apart from mining, making money and paying taxes to achieve political achievements, there is no other way.
Humph, blindly pursuing political achievements, this matter can be managed That's weird."
The young man was obviously very dissatisfied.
When Fan Wei asked, he complained, "They don't care, those big coal diggers.
The bosses hired people to forcefully demolish the buildings.
I heard that some people who were unwilling actually collaborated with the police and were taken to the police station and beaten to death.
This is evident in the use of intimidation and intimidation.
This has not happened in our village, but I heard that it was discovered.
The coal mining belt is also underground in my village.
This time I went home to discuss with my parents that we must not take advantage of these bastards."
Fan Wei admired this young man, but he was a little worried that he was alone and would not be able to mount any effective resistance.
But this matter has nothing to do with him.
The purpose of his coming here is to find the tomb of the ancestor of the Tang clan.
Instead of continuing the deep conversation, Fan Wei turned his head and continued to look out the window.
Sure enough, as the young man said, not long after driving on this mountain road, a loess area completely separated from green appeared in front of him.
This is exactly the same as the Loess Plateau that Fan Wei knows.
It seems that although this greening project has been planted for more than 20 years, due to the special geological and geographical environment, it has still not been able to achieve complete greening.
After passing the woods just now, yellow began to occupy most of the picture.
Only a few dozen drought-tolerant or dry-tolerant trees occasionally stood firm in the loess without falling.
It is almost the winter season now, and not only the evergreen trees are already a little bare, but they look extremely desolate.
Following this road that has been built for who knows how many years, Fan Wei will arrive at the only small town in the area depicted on the map.
If we compare it with the old map on the vellum, this town is probably in the eastern area of the map.
There are three or four villages not far away from the town.
As for the Wuchan village that Fan Wei wants to find, I am afraid he will have to ask these villages one by one to see if anyone knows whether there was a village long ago.
The presence of Wuchan Village nearby.
If anyone knows, then as long as Fan Wei finds the current location of Wuchan Village, he can calculate the true location of the Tang Sect ancestor's cemetery based on the scale of the map:
