黑溪是沅水支流蓝溪河的源头,位于沅陵与溆浦两县交界的圣人山脚下,距我小时居住的村子三十余里。最初认识黑溪,是在上世纪七十年代初。正读小学的我在《湖南省地图》上发现一个黑三角标记,旁边注明:黑溪原始森林。没想到在这个封闭的大山里,一个小小的地名居然被标记在地图上,让我颇有几分自豪。在此以前,我也经常从父辈口中听到“黑溪”这两个字 Hexi is the source of the Blue River, a tributary of the Yuan River. Hexi is located at the foot of the Sacred Mountain at the junction of Yuanling and Xupu counties. It is about thirty miles from the village where I was living. Black Creek first met, is in the early 1970s. I was reading a primary school in the “Hunan Province Map” found a black triangle mark, next to indicate: Black Creek virgin forest. I did not expect in this closed mountain, a small place names actually marked on the map, I am quite a bit proud. Before that, I often heard the words “Black Creek” from my father’s mouth
