In the past few years, in winter, it has become a must to go to the Pure Industry Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms, and the days of snow are more desirable. Then, if you can enjoy the plum blossoms in the heavy snow, it is the best. At that time, the snowflakes in the temple were fluttering, the flowers were blooming, and the white snowflakes fell on the petals, as if the yellow plum blossoms were put on a holy crown, and the yellow plum blossoms were even more pretty after the icing on the cake. If you can form a picture with the three or two monks sweeping the snow in front of the main hall in the snowflakes flying, then there will be poetry and Zen.

This grand scene is not a fantasy, but I encountered it once the year before last. It was the end of January 2016, and there was a rare blizzard in Xi'an. The heavier the snow, the more you yearn for the mountains, which is the characteristic of mountain climbers. On that day, my friend Qin Lin and I came in the snow. I remember that when I changed to a bus halfway, the ice on the road was too thick, and the car drifted on the road without snow chains. After getting off the car on the ring mountain road of the Fengyu turntable, the ice thick road slippery stand unsteadily, and what you see is a group of northern scenery with thousands of miles of ice and snow. The two of us excitedly stepped on the deep snow all the way up the mountain to the Pure Industry Temple, and saw the most beautiful plum blossoms and the most wonderful artistic conception, which is also the most unforgettable picture. So much so that when the two of us trekked in the snow half a meter deep to enjoy the fog, we were still talking about the picture of the monks sweeping the snow under the plum blossoms in the snowstorm was too beautiful. I hope to come to the appointment every year in the future, and I hope to enjoy such a beautiful view.

Last year, we longed for a winter, but there was no snow when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and the plum blossoms had fallen when the snow fell.

This winter, I have been visiting the temple for two weeks in a row. Therefore, for the first time, I saw the coexistence of dead leaves and plum blossom bones, and the leaves of the second week were about to bloom quickly, and the first time I knew that the plum blossom was blooming at the moment when the leaves were falling. In the past, I always thought that it was the first to bloom and regenerate leaves. Last week, I stood under the plum tree, looking at the dead leaves and plum blossoms blooming on the tree, and I was looking forward to a snowfall next weekend.

Hey, what a wish came true, it's snowing this Wednesday. And the forecast for Saturday and Sunday is still snowshowers, which makes us happy. The friends made an appointment early, and the time was set for Sunday. The road is icy, for safety reasons, the means of transport is buses. Early on Sunday morning, the three of them set off from different places and sat smoothly in the same car bound for Fengyu into the mountain, which was really a good start.

Although the road is full of thick ice, it is rare to have a smooth journey, and at nine o'clock I arrived at the Fengyu Turntable. When we got out of the car and saw the frozen roads and snowflakes flying all over the sky, we were in a good mood, and there was no snow in the city when we set off. However, the companion said that it was not as thick as the snow the year before.

At the carousel where we got off, the car that was expected to be able to ferry was not available today, so we had to walk four kilometers to the gate of Jingye Temple Mountain. We just walked a short distance and saw a car parked on the other side of the road clearing, presumably the villager's shuttle car, and when we got closer, we found that it was the car that commanded the clearing of ice and snow at the scene. When I was disappointed, I saw a car parked at the intersection to the south, and I was starting to go. We shouted to catch up, and the car stopped. It turned out to be a car selling snow chains, and it may have seen that the highway was being cleared, and felt that there was no business, and it was ready to go home and close down. In this way, we met sooner or later, so we got into his car with snow chains and sent us to the Pure Industry Temple as we wished.

In addition, this fellow was quite realistic, and he proposed 40 yuan at that time. I said that it is usually 20 yuan, and the road is not good today, so you can charge half more, and he agreed. Actually, I'm just talking, if he says 100 yuan, we will also sit. You have to go up the hill as quickly as possible, and you have to go down the mountain as quickly as possible, and return to the carousel before half past four in the afternoon to take the last train back to the city.

To our surprise, there was no ice and snow on the road into the mountain, and the road maintenance personnel were still driving all the way to spray ablative, and the road surface was clean. For this reason, I would like to pay tribute to the staff who ensure the safety of the opening of the road, they are the flowing scenery in the mountains!

The road conditions were good, and the car had snow chains, which quickly sent us to the gate of the Pure Industry Temple. When I walked into the mountain gate, I saw that the snow on the mountain was indeed not as thick as I imagined. Actually, the snow on the mountain is half a foot thick, but we want it to be half a meter thick the year before.

Starting from the mountain gate, there are nearly 1,000 stone steps leading to the Pure Industry Temple, which is located halfway up the mountain. In the snow, we stepped on the snow and climbed the stairs. At this time, the snow-covered mountain forest is not silent, and a few big birds with long tails fly low in the forest and sing, the song is crisp and loud, full of joy. I think they must be like us, they like to play among the snow branches on snowy days. It was also like welcoming us to come and have fun, and the scene was warm and harmonious.

From the moment we started to go up the mountain, we saw crampon marks on the snow on the stone steps, and it was assumed that someone had gone up the mountain before us. Then, the people who came earlier than us and can still go up the mountain on a snowy day should be the same as us, and they are all persistent climbers. I guessed who it would be. Because they released the news yesterday that they want to accompany their father, who loves photography and flowers, to go up the mountain to walk in the snow to find plums.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the small square outside the temple and were about to take pictures, an old man with a single-lens reflex camera came out of the side door. Oh, this person is the old man Wu of Guanzhong who has always set off to climb the mountain at dawn, not to mention the children who have accompanied him to climb the mountain for many years. The quality of life and hobbies of the older Uncle Wu are fashionable and young. Their sons and daughters are a perfect interpretation of love and filial piety. This family transmits positive energy to the society and is our role model!

Here, we must give credit to the role model. We should also praise Uncle Wu, who is still walking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms in the mountains at the age of 83 in such weather! I also praise the old gentleman's sons and daughters! Their family is a scenery on the snow-capped mountains today!

I was very happy to see the three of them, and they were just as happy to see me, and I hugged the old man's daughter happily. Then, to express your excitement is to take a group photo together.

Later, the family only went to the temple to enjoy the plum blossoms and then went down the mountain. We're going to climb over a few mountain beams to cross.

Walking into the temple, you can see a plum tree blooming through the snowflakes. When I got closer, I saw that the yellow flowers with bright wax were topped with a layer of white snowflakes, which made it even more beautiful and festive. Each one of them bloomed to the most beautiful, and the flowers and branches were dazzling! Let us feel that the plum blossoms are clearly smiling at the cold and snow, proudly blooming, which makes people awe-inspiring! Let us come to watch us full of joy, I have always thought that the plum blossoms in the small courtyard of the Pure Industry Temple are the most beautiful artistic conception I have ever seen! This is also the only tall yellow plum tree I have seen at an altitude of nearly 1,000 meters.

The plum tree in the temple is very large, and the flower crown covers half of the garden, leaning towards the side of the main hall. Snow sprinkled plum blossoms, yellow wax-like petals are more beautiful, Ling Han lingers fragrant, revealing otherworldliness, lining the temple hall will have more Zen. At this time, the abbot stepped on the snow and led the dog into the tall plum tree, and stood under the yellow plum tree like a flower shed to take pictures. This scene is really full of Zen and wonderful.

This is what we are most looking forward to. When I saw this scene again, I was suddenly excited, happy and happy, and I was so happy that I just wanted to be happy.

So, after the abbot left, we combined it with the plum blossoms in one face. In addition to repeating the actions of the past two years, my two friends and I also sat on the stone fence of the falling snow, facing the snowflakes, and happily showed off under the plum blossoms, leaving the happiest appearance when we were with the plum blossoms in the temple this winter. This is also the third year in a row that I have been the happiest to shoot here. I'm really excited and looking forward to this day and this scene. Otherwise, how could such a big snow go up the mountain?

The wish is fulfilled. Looking forward to stepping on the snow and looking for plum blossoms in the coming year, I will come again.

Three

After the first wish was granted, we left the monastery and started to ascend the mountain. As soon as we left the monastery, we walked into the fairy tale world of white mountains and forests.

I saw that the mountain was covered with a thick snow quilt, and the eyes were full of white, and it became a snow-capped mountain. The trees are dressed in beautiful snow robes from head to toe, and the trees are white, and the snow trees bloom all over the body, just like the blossoms of a snow tree. The layers of intertwined mountains of misty branches, fine and fragmented flowers, glowing with silver light, far away than "thousands of trees and pear blossoms"; close-up, the withered grass and dwarf shrubs, after the whole body is snow-white, it becomes the same as the submarine coral, but it is more spectacular than the submarine coral, because they are plants that grow on the snow-capped mountains, and the same texture as the snow-capped mountains, as if all things are born in the snow, it is the world of snow, and it is a holy fairy tale world.

At this moment, in this wonderful fairy tale world, the three of us, as advanced animals, are sharing the miracles of nature and enjoying the joy of fairy tales in the fairy tale world. We were like deer cheering in the white mountain forest, and we were so surprised by the dizzying beauty that we couldn't move, and we could only murmur over and over again: It's so beautiful!

The higher you go, the thicker and whiter the snow. On the mountain sorghum behind the Reclining Buddha Temple, the tall whitebark pine forest is as expected, and the snow particles on the pine needles are covered with snow particles after the snow presses the green pine, becoming a snow chrysanthemum with tight clusters, and the artistic conception is extraordinary. This is God's most solemn reward for the evergreen and cold-tolerant green pine in the harsh winter, so that the proud snow blooms into a tree that "blooms". Looking up, joy and respect arise spontaneously. Standing under the tree, I couldn't help but straighten my spine.

Today, we are walking all the way to the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms and watch the wonders of fog. So far, after feasting your eyes, you can't get enough of it. In a hurry, there was no further march to my favorite land beam. Before leaving, I originally wanted to meet again on the beam in front of me, and my companion and I saw a pool of silver lotus flowers blooming on the mountains opposite after the heavy snowfall last year. The scene at that time was so shocking, so beautiful that it made people's breath lighter. It was so beautiful that when I pointed it out to the climbers I met, their expressions were shocked, and they blurted out in a hurry: It's really, it's amazing!

Isn't it like a surprise like a fairyland, and we marvel at the wonder of nature!

The mountains on the opposite side, on weekdays, you can see that there are thousands of strange peaks, high and low, and the highway side of the halfway mountain converges into a pond shape, and the mist is shrouded all year round. At about three o'clock in the afternoon of that day, the strongest sun's rays passed through the clouds, through the mist, and sprinkled on the snowflakes and mist all over the mountain. This is science, not fantasy. Because we repeatedly verified on the sorghum at that time, on the long earth beams, only from the position where we first saw could we see the mountains on the opposite side like a pond full of lotus flowers, three-dimensional and vivid. Moving five meters back and forth, what I saw was completely different, and it became a silver-white mountain full of fog. It's amazing, it's a rare occurrence!

All of this is hard to come by. If we hadn't looked up at the time, we would have missed it.

It's exactly when we are in the right place at the right time, and we see the magic of the scene, and everything is the best. In fact, the same is true in life, enterprising can be rewarded. The scenery is reserved for those who watch, and opportunities await those who are prepared.

Therefore, this is why we will step on the snow to find plum blossoms and go up the mountain in the snow. I just don't want to miss out on any adventures, I don't want to miss the magic of nature. Because of this, we saw unexpected beauty, and finally did not miss this visual feast of nature!

At the same time, think about the 83-year-old Mr. Wu, the old man can still pursue the quality of life so much, and my little gentleman can't hold back. We must have the original intention, keep the steps, and meet the beautiful scenery presented to us by nature!
