夜半两点多钟,我们被朋友叫醒,急忙穿好衣服,拿上应急灯,走出宾馆,就上路了。一弯新月,挂在天空,四处寂静无声。走过了柏油马路,换成了土路,路边的小房,隐藏在树丛中。我们的脚步声,惊起一阵汪汪的犬吠声,打破了四周的沉寂,在我们心灵深处,展现出一片清新的田园风情。突然,远处火光闪动,走近一看,原来是卖石人取暖的篝火和买石人应急手电的灯光,在互相映照中,摆满了长长数百个卖石小摊,熙熙攘攘的购石者摩肩接踵穿梭于小摊之间,一片繁忙的交易正在进行。山东临朐自古以产奇石著称。最近发现了一种色具七彩的石头,习惯叫临朐彩石。产于石家河一带山区,成了当地农民一大收入来源。山上一些运输户都在半夜下山去县城营业,农民就随车运石下山,而当地爱石者都力争早早前去,以求优先选到好石,因而就形成了这世界上唯一的夜半石市。 Two o’clock midnight, we were awakened by a friend, quickly dressed, get emergency lights, out of the hotel, the road. A crescent, hanging in the sky, silent around. Passed the asphalt road, replaced by dirt roads, roadside cottage, hidden in the bush. Our footsteps, scared bark bark bark, breaking the silence around, in our hearts, showing a fresh pastoral style. Suddenly, the distant flashes of light flashed, came to a look, turned out to be selling stone bonfire heating and flashlight to buy stone emergency lights, reflected in each other, filled with hundreds of long stone stalls, bustling Shoulders rub shoulders one after another between stalls, a busy transaction is under way. Shandong Linqu known since ancient times to produce stones. Recently found a color with colorful stones, used to call Lincoln color stone. Produced in the Shijiazhe mountains, became a major source of income of local farmers. Some transporters in the mountains are going downstairs to the county business in the middle of the night.
