漫游东平湖，邂逅惊喜

飞扬

中国四大古典名著之一《水浒传》，可谓家喻户晓，书中八百里水泊梁山承载着一百零八位英雄好汉和众多普通老百姓向往平等自由的愿望，演绎了一段惊天动地、可歌可泣的侠义故事。如今，一百零八将的故事依然广为流传，那么八百里水泊今何在？

在泰安市东平县，西临黄河、东望泰山之处，坐落着山东省第二大淡水湖——东平湖，这便是《水浒传》中八百里水泊唯一遗存水域。蓼儿洼、大野泽、巨野泽、梁山泊、安山湖，自古至今，东平湖拥有过多个名称，但大都慢慢淡出了人们的视线，唯有梁山泊的故事和中国传统的侠义精神依然被人们津津乐道，时至今日仍有“游览水泊梁山，不荡舟东平湖，不成其游”之说。

“牵方舟兮小洞庭，云微微兮连绝陉。”东平湖因地处山间、风景秀丽，在古代素有“小洞庭”之称，许多文人墨客在此创作出无数佳作。唐代文豪李白在《送梁四归东平》一诗中写道：“殷王期负鼎，汶水起垂竿”；宋代文学家苏辙泛舟夜过梁山泊，写下“更须月出波光净，卧听渔家荡桨歌”的佳句；清代文学家王渔洋在《游小洞庭》中见景抒情：“积雪明蚕尾，浮云下洞庭”……诸多诗词佳句都表明，东平湖山水多姿，堪称齐鲁大地上的一颗明珠。

尽管流年似水、星转斗移，东平湖依然碧波荡漾、水天一色，景色优美。今日东平湖三面环山，京杭大运河穿湖而过，总面积626平方公里，常年水面208平方公里，平均水深2.5米，蓄水总量3亿立方米，不仅是黄河下游唯一重要蓄滞洪区、国家南水北调东线工程和京杭大运河复航重要枢纽，还是“美丽中国”十佳旅游景区、国家水利风景区。

大自然的厚爱和历史的眷顾，造就了东平湖的魅力。来这里，就是一場与美丽的邂逅。早春时节，漫步在东平湖岸边，波光粼粼，芦苇摇曳，飞鸟翔驰，景色美得像一幅挪不开眼的水墨画。其实，东平湖四季如画，春之盎然、夏之幽美、秋之气爽、冬之梦幻，从初春到暮冬，从湖畔到湖心，四季之美无处不在。周边更有大宋不夜城、白佛山石窟造像、洪顶山摩崖刻经、腊山国家森林公园、桑园渔村、大安山运河古镇等丰富的文旅资源和独特的人文景观，吸引着八方来客。

寻觅水浒英雄的义薄云天，遥想昔日漕运的繁华景象，赏大好河山的壮丽美景……不管何时，漫游东平湖，都会遇上不一样的精彩与惊喜。
