“只要有水,就会生草,水多些就能长树,树多些才会有人。”这一新疆民谚,寥寥数语深刻地提示了人、植物和水的三者关系,讲透了水与人是休戚相关的。难怪中国的“大禹治水”和西方的“摩西洪水”、“诺亚方舟”都是有关水的故事。一部人类史就是人和洪水、干旱奋斗的历史。实践告诉人们:一切得看水的“脸色”办事。 “As long as there is water, we will grow grass. If we have more water, we can grow trees. If there are more trees, there will be people.” This Xinjiang folk song, with several words, profoundly reminds people, plants, and water of the relationship between them. Water is closely related to people. It is no wonder that China’s “Great Flood Control” and Western “Moses Flood” and “Noah’s Ark” are stories about water. A human history is the history of struggle between people and floods and drought. Practice tells people that everything depends on the “face” of water.
