漫游東平湖，邂逅驚喜

飛揚

中國四大古典名著之一《水滸傳》，可謂家喻戶曉，書中八百里水泊梁山承載著一百零八位英雄好漢和眾多普通老百姓向往平等自由的愿望，演繹了一段驚天動地、可歌可泣的俠義故事。如今，一百零八將的故事依然廣為流傳，那么八百里水泊今何在？

在泰安市東平縣，西臨黃河、東望泰山之處，坐落著山東省第二大淡水湖——東平湖，這便是《水滸傳》中八百里水泊唯一遺存水域。蓼兒洼、大野澤、巨野澤、梁山泊、安山湖，自古至今，東平湖擁有過多個名稱，但大都慢慢淡出了人們的視線，唯有梁山泊的故事和中國傳統(tǒng)的俠義精神依然被人們津津樂道，時至今日仍有“游覽水泊梁山，不蕩舟東平湖，不成其游”之說。

“牽方舟兮小洞庭，云微微兮連絕陘?！睎|平湖因地處山間、風(fēng)景秀麗，在古代素有“小洞庭”之稱，許多文人墨客在此創(chuàng)作出無數(shù)佳作。唐代文豪李白在《送梁四歸東平》一詩中寫道：“殷王期負鼎，汶水起垂竿”；宋代文學(xué)家蘇轍泛舟夜過梁山泊，寫下“更須月出波光凈，臥聽漁家蕩槳歌”的佳句；清代文學(xué)家王漁洋在《游小洞庭》中見景抒情：“積雪明蠶尾，浮云下洞庭”……諸多詩詞佳句都表明，東平湖山水多姿，堪稱齊魯大地上的一顆明珠。

盡管流年似水、星轉(zhuǎn)斗移，東平湖依然碧波蕩漾、水天一色，景色優(yōu)美。今日東平湖三面環(huán)山，京杭大運河穿湖而過，總面積626平方公里，常年水面208平方公里，平均水深2.5米，蓄水總量3億立方米，不僅是黃河下游唯一重要蓄滯洪區(qū)、國家南水北調(diào)東線工程和京杭大運河復(fù)航重要樞紐，還是“美麗中國”十佳旅游景區(qū)、國家水利風(fēng)景區(qū)。

大自然的厚愛和歷史的眷顧，造就了東平湖的魅力。來這里，就是一場與美麗的邂逅。早春時節(jié)，漫步在東平湖岸邊，波光粼粼，蘆葦搖曳，飛鳥翔馳，景色美得像一幅挪不開眼的水墨畫。其實，東平湖四季如畫，春之盎然、夏之幽美、秋之氣爽、冬之夢幻，從初春到暮冬，從湖畔到湖心，四季之美無處不在。周邊更有大宋不夜城、白佛山石窟造像、洪頂山摩崖刻經(jīng)、臘山國家森林公園、桑園漁村、大安山運河古鎮(zhèn)等豐富的文旅資源和獨特的人文景觀，吸引著八方來客。

尋覓水滸英雄的義薄云天，遙想昔日漕運的繁華景象，賞大好河山的壯麗美景……不管何時，漫游東平湖，都會遇上不一樣的精彩與驚喜。
