196 Dragon Vein
The Qinling Mountains are divided into the Qinling Mountains in the narrow sense and the Qinling Mountains in the broad sense.
In a narrow sense, the Qinling Mountains are limited to the southern part of Shaanxi Province, the mountainous area between the Wei River and the Han River, bounded by the Bahe River and the Danjiang River valley in the east, and the Jialing River in the west.
The Qinling Mountains in a broad sense, starting from Kunlun in the west, passing through Longnan and southern Shaanxi in the middle, reaching Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Dabie Mountains in the east and Zhangbaling near Bengbu, are the watersheds of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River basin.
Due to the differences in temperature, climate and topography between the north and south of the Qinling Mountains, the Qinling-Huaihe River line has become the most important north-south dividing line in China.
Liu Wei's starting point this time was a small town called Guangji at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in southern Shaanxi.
When he arrived in Guangji Town, it was already afternoon, and Liu Wei started broadcasting as usual according to the agreement.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Ah Wei, have you fallen to the ground?"
"How's Chubby?"
The audience in the live broadcast room expressed their concern for Liu Wei and Chubby.
Liu Wei took a picture of Chubby with his live broadcast phone, and then took a picture of the four sides of the town, with mountains and mountains.
"Brothers, we have arrived, my current location is located in a small town in the south of Shaanxi, before setting off, I have determined the route across the Qinling Mountains this time, and now I will take everyone into the mountain!" Liu Wei held the live broadcast mobile phone in his hand, and went directly on the road with heavy luggage on his back.
Chubby knew that this was a strange place, so it put away its naughty character, because it was afraid of getting lost and cutting off contact with the new owner who had just established a deep friendship, and it followed Liu Wei closely.
"It's afternoon, I don't think there's anything to be gained from going into the mountains now, Ah Wei, let's find a hotel in the town to rest for a night, right?" An audience member suggested.
Liu Wei smiled: "We have tents to live in, why waste money?"
"Hehehe, what a pick!"
"Ah Wei is laughing, the brothers just need to watch the live broadcast carefully, he knows it in his own heart!"
"Support is over, where can there be so many suggestions in a day!"
Liu Wei took the fat man up the mountain, the first half of the mountain road is quite easy to walk, and there are villages around it, so the roads are better repaired.
In the evening, after entering the deep mountains and old forest areas, it is rare to see the old roads that are relatively distinct to the people.
After the closure of the mountains for afforestation and poverty alleviation and relocation, more and more households moved out of the mountains, and with the change of living habits, there are fewer people moving to the mountains, and occasionally there may be cattle and sheep.
But by this time in the evening, it is estimated that he has already returned home.
Liu Wei found a location with a wide view, the terrain was flat, the weeds were growing luxuriantly, and there were fruit trees growing around that no one cared for.
Liu Wei judged that the foundation of the house was supposed to be in the past, but it was filled in after the relocation.
"Chubby, let's rest here tonight!" Liu Wei said to Chubby, bowing his head.
"Wang~"
Chubby squatted obediently.
Set up the tent, Liu Wei saw that the plums on the plum tree were growing well, so he climbed up and picked some of them, and served them as a fruit bowl after dinner.
In the dead of night, there are only insects, frogs, and birds chirping.
Liu Wei set up a searchlight outside the tent, and the battery of the searchlight is solar-charged, which can be purchased online, ensuring that Liu Wei has a supply of lights every night.
The live broadcast room was set up in front of him, Liu Wei called out "Fat", Fat obediently ran to Liu Wei's side and squatted, Liu Wei hugged and ravaged, "Your kid's hair is still growing very fast!"
Men and dogs play in this quiet night.
Liu Wei looked at the barrage in the live broadcast room and said: "It's still early, it's quite boring for you to see that I've been petting the dog, let me tell you about Qinling!"
"Ah Wei, why is Qinling called the Dragon Vein?"
"It is said that there is a dungeon in Qinling, and there are dragons in the dungeon!"
"Speak quickly, I like knowledge and love to learn. ”
Liu Wei just spoke, and sure enough, as he expected, similar to when he went to Shennongjia before, all kinds of bizarre rumors were deducted into a barrage by the audience in the live broadcast room.
"Hmph~" Liu Wei moistened his throat, "There has been a long history about the dragon vein of the Qinling Mountains, in China, there are many mountain ranges, and there are countless myths and stories supported by the mountains, but among the many famous mountains and famous veins, only the Qinling Mountains dare to call the dragon vein, why?"
First of all, let's start with the origin of the name Qinling!"
Liu Wei mentioned the spirit, and the audience listened to his two opening sentences, which were very feeling, and they wanted to analyze professionally when they heard it.
The so-called connoisseur opens his mouth, and he knows if he opens his mouth?
Liu Wei opened his mouth to say these few sentences, the words were beautiful, and there was a kind of old Peking storyteller's tone.
"Geography believes that the root of many mountain ranges in Chinese mainland is the Kunlun Mountains. Therefore, before Qin Shi Huang unified China, the Qinling Mountains were known as Kunlun.
Later, the first emperor unified the six countries and established the capital in Xianyang, because the Qinling Mountains stood in the south of Xianyang, so the Qinling Mountains were also called Zhongnan Mountain, or Nanshan.
Regarding the origin of the name of the Qinling Mountains, scholars generally believe that it originated from the ancient Qin people and the prestige of the Qin Empire.
The earliest texts describing the Qinling Mountains in ancient times were the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Yugong.
The Yu Gong was written roughly during the Warring States period, and in its textual description, the layout of the Chinese mountains is a system of "three strips and four columns", of which the Qinling Mountains are listed as the middle strip.
It was not until Sima Qian wrote the sentence "Qinling, the great obstacle of the world" in the "Historical Records" that Qinling had an official written record.
From many historical records, we can find the name of Qinling, for thousands of years, the rise and fall of tribes and dynasties on the land of China, the turmoil of ideology and culture, most of which also occurred here.
It successively has the Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Xinmang, Eastern Han, Western Jin, Qianzhao, Qianqin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui, Tang 13 dynasties built their capitals here.
Therefore, it has a very important position in the history of the development of ancient Chinese history.
This is the historical factor that it is called the dragon vein, which has established a great image in the hearts of people, and it has special significance for the change and rise of the Chinese nation. ”
Liu Wei took a sip of water, "Let's talk about the understanding of dragon veins in feng shui, literally, dragon veins are the long and coherent blood vessels of the dragon.
The dragon is a mythical creature, it comes from the natural world, but does not live in the natural world, so its cost and meaning are mainly reflected through symbolic methods, such as long and coherent tools, can be called dragon veins, and conversely, dragon veins can symbolize those long and coherent tools.
Feng Shui refers to the stretches of mountains as dragon veins, and there is an idiom called the ins and outs that are derived from Feng Shui's definition of mountain ranges.
According to Feng Shui, it can be summed up in one sentence: the mountain is the power of the dragon, and the water is the blood of the dragon, so the dragon vein is inseparable from the mountain and water.
Since ancient times, the land surrounded by mountains and rivers has been a treasure of feng shui. Even putting aside the concepts of Feng Shui and dragon vein, it is inevitable that anyone who grows up and lives in such a beautiful environment is not a harmonious and happy enjoyment.
Feng Shui has a large metaphysical component in the definition of mountains, but we can carefully analyze the "water" of the Qinling Mountains according to today's geographical knowledge, which is also the most important reason why the Qinling Mountains are called dragon veins.
Finally, let's talk about the 'water' of the Qinling Mountains!"
