Then Liang Wensheng said: "Although Xia Guan is the governor of Juzhou, he has never been to Fulai Mountain to see this thousand-year-old ginkgo king because of his busy official duties. I'm afraid that the lower official will not be able to do this tour guide well, so that the father-in-law will not be able to do his best. ”

He Zhiyuan went to Fulai Mountain in his previous life, but he has never been to Fulai Mountain since he came to the Ming Dynasty. So he said to Fu Ning: "Father-in-law Fu, I grew up here since I was a child, let me be my father-in-law's tour guide this afternoon." ”

"Well, it's great to have a local like you as a tour guide." Fu Ning said with a smile.

Funing was in a good mood today, and after luncheon, he set off for Fulai Mountain.

Due to the smooth road, it took less than an hour to reach the foot of Fulai Mountain, which is eighteen miles west of the state capital.

At the foot of the mountain, due to the steep mountain road, the carriage could not continue to move forward, so Funing got off the car and walked up the mountain. On the way up the mountain, He Zhiyuan told Funing and his party about the myths and legends of the three peaks of floating, whisking, and flying.

Legend has it that this place in Laoju was a vast ocean a long, long time ago, and this statement is definitely credible, because the stones floating on the mountain contain aquatic insect fossils! Legend has it that all the immortals who swim here can see that Juzhou is a treasure in this place, once the ocean subsides, it will present a fertile Pingchuan, which will be the source of human civilization.

In the pre-Qin period, the Central Plains Dynasty generally called the southern tribes around the Central Plains (the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River) "barbarian", the northern tribes "Di", the western tribes "Rong", and the eastern tribes "Yi". And this is one of the cultural birthplaces of the Eastern Yi tribe. Among them, the Central Plains refers to the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River centered on Luoyang to Kaifeng in Henan, with a temperate climate, moderate rainfall and fertile soil, so it entered the urban farming society earlier, and the land is called China, and the people are called Huaxia. The natural conditions of the border area are poor, and most of them are inhabited by nomadic animal husbandry people, so they are called Yi. The one who is the one who bears the bow is also.

On this day, the Dragon King of the East China Sea expanded the Dragon Palace, and thought that a mountain next to it was in the way, and wanted to move the mountain to another place. Suddenly remembered that although Juzhou is a treasure land, but it lacks mountain embellishment, why not move this mountain to Juzhou, and then return the water there to the East China Sea, so that human beings can reproduce and progress there and create civilization. Thinking of this, he ordered an old turtle to carry up this mountain and float to Juzhou. As soon as the mountain was settled, I heard a child on the mountain scolding the turtle, and the old turtle was so strange that he climbed to the hillside to see what was going on. When I came to the hillside, it turned out that the third prince of the dragon king was playing with ginkgo fruit on the mountain, and the old turtle didn't find that even the prince had come. The old turtle said, "Don't worry, I'll carry you back again." After saying that, the prince sat on the back of the turtle and was carried back to the East China Sea. The old turtle replied to the Dragon King and said, "The mountain is safe. "The Dragon King of the East China Sea faced Juzhou, and only inhaled it with his nose, and the water in Juzhou was gone, and it was really a flat river. A mountain is isolated on this land, and because it floats out of the water, people call it "Floating Peak". Later, a ginkgo tree appeared on the mountain, which was lost by the third prince playing with ginkgo biloba. This ginkgo tree later grows into a big tree, and it bears ginkgo fruit every year for people to enjoy.

Later, the South China Sea Guanyin traveled to the sky above Juzhou for a day, and saw that the Dragon King of the East China Sea gave a mountain to this outstanding land, which greatly increased the brilliance of Juzhou, but unfortunately only isolated a mountain, the wind is light and the scenery is shallow, Guanyin thought of why not give a mountain to rely on each other, so that it is brocade

Adding embroidery to the top is also a credit. Just do it, return to the South China Sea, summon the next Xiushan of Botuo Rock in your hands, send it to Juzhou, and put it on the north side of Fulai Peak; Because the mountain peak comes from the Buddha land, it is called "Buddha Peak", which is passed down from generation to generation for mortals, and points a temple, which is called Dinglin Temple later.

Another day, the Eight Immortals came to Juzhou, and saw the two peaks of Fulai and Buddha standing here, which really added a lot of color to Juzhou. During the discussion, the Tie Guan Li raised his voice and said: "People say that the eight immortals have great powers, and they benefit the people everywhere, but the mountain scenery created here is not our share, we have a lot of Penglai Immortal Mountain, we move one to make some dedication to Juzhou, isn't it good?" The Seven Immortals readily agreed. The iron crutch Li waved his crutches, and there were words in his mouth, only to see a mountain peak flying from Penglai, and falling steadily to the south of Fulai Peak, this peak flew to be called "Feilai Peak". There is no mountain without water, the iron crutch Li does good things to the end, a crutch according to the hillside to poke away, this crutch is powerful, the day is long, the water flow continues, sometimes the East China Sea deaf son Long Sun Shunquan plays to the floating mountain, Wolong Spring is the place where they stay.

After telling this story, I went to Jorinji Temple on the mountain. The ginkgo tree is in the courtyard of Jorinji Temple.

When you enter the temple, you will see a towering giant tree standing in the courtyard of the temple. At this time, it is late autumn, and the leaves on the trees have turned yellow, and some of the leaves have already fallen under the trees. There seems to be a yellow carpet on the ground, reflecting the whole courtyard in a golden color, which is beautiful at all times. Standing on the east side of the ginkgo tree and looking west at sunset, the sun shines through the canopy, and the thousand-year-old tree seems to have spirituality.

Then He Zhiyuan introduced to Funing: "According to research, the ancient tree was planted in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was planted during the Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition. In history, Zhou Gong's Eastern Expedition once passed by "Guimeng", so it was possible to set foot in Fulai Mountain. It is recorded in the "Zuo Biography" that in the eighth year of Lu Yin Gong, "the prince and the Ju people were allied under the tree". That is to say, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the monarchs of Lu and Ju had formed an alliance under the tree, which shows that the tree had become a famous tree at that time. ”

Fu Ning said: "If this tree was really planted in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, wouldn't it have a history of 2,500 years by now? ”

"yes, how else would you be called the King of Ginkgo?" He Zhiyuan continued: "This Dinglin Temple is also a thousand-year-old temple. According to historical records, this temple was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, because of this ancient sacred tree in the front yard, more and more incense. The ancestor monk of the mountain is Zhu Fatai and the monk Yuan. It is said that in the past, there was a road archway in the east pass of Fulai Mountain, and the couplets on the front and back sides are the record and interpretation of this historical story. The couplet on the front of the archway is: "Fuqiu Gong drove the crane to the mountain and said that the people of the Fulai Township believed in it, and the name of the Zhufa Taichuan Zen Temple was little known. The couplet on the back of it is: "Lu Gong Juzi will be in the alliance, and the monk will sit on the Zen Mountain." It can be seen that Zhu Fatai and another Zen master named Seng Yuan were the earliest abbots of Dinglin Temple. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Liu Xian, a native of Ju, lived in the temple and created the earliest literary criticism masterpiece "Wenxin Carving Dragon". Presumably, under the ancient ginkgo tree in front of the temple, Mr. Liu also left a figure of taking a break or standing and talking. ”

Liang Wensheng said: "It seems that He Gongzi knows this place very well. ”

"Not only am I familiar with it, but the literati and writers of Juzhou have all liked it here, and they are all very familiar with it. In your spare time, adults may wish to come here often to take a look. He Zhiyuan said.

comfort

Ning asked, "This ginkgo tree occupies almost the entire yard, have you ever measured how thick this tree is?" ”

He Zhiyuan remembered a story about how thick the tree was, and according to the legend of the previous life, this story took place during the Jiajing period. In order to improve the interest of Funing and promote the culture of Juzhou, He Zhiyuan decided to tell this story to increase the interest of browsing.

So he said, "There is a legend about how thick this tree is. ”

Then he told the story about Xiucai Liangshu.

Legend has it that it was measured in the early years of our dynasty. At that time, a student went to Beijing to take the exam, and suddenly it rained heavily. When he saw the big tree in front of the temple, he rushed to the tree to take shelter from the rain.

Faced with such a huge ginkgo tree, Sheng was shocked and amazed and curious, and wanted to measure how thick the tree was. Considering that there were no measuring tools, the student decided to measure the "waistline" of the tree by hugging it.

He had been hugging seven times in a row, and before he had turned to the starting point, just as he was about to take the eighth hug, he found a young woman standing at the starting point of his measurement. The young woman also came to take shelter from the rain, because the tree was too big, and neither of them saw anyone on different sides of the tree.

But how do you continue to measure it now? It seemed unreasonable to ask the young woman to get out of the way, so he had to measure it by hand instead, and measure it to the young woman's side one by one, and when it reached the eighth time, it happened to be next to the young woman, and the young woman did not even notice it.

But how can the place of the young woman's body be measured? Sheng couldn't think of any other way, so he had to calculate the body width of the young woman as the length of the measurement, so he came up with the ginkgo tree: "Seven arms and eight daughters-in-law".

Then He Zhiyuan said: "Fulai Mountain is known as the reputation of heavenly officials, and the folk also have the saying that 'people come to Fulaifu and often come to Fulaifu'. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, nearby residents will gather in Fulai Mountain to 'catch the temple fair'. In addition to sightseeing, business and entertainment, a non-negligible content of the temple fair is to pray for blessings and disasters, and this thousand-year-old tree has become the preferred deity for those who pray for longevity. ”

After listening to He Zhiyuan's introduction, Funing and Liang Wensheng both lamented the long history of Juzhou culture. At this time, Fu Ning said again: "He Gongzi was admitted to the student at the age of fourteen, he must be quite talented, and his export is a chapter, and he is a little elegant today, why not make a poem to help the fun?" ”

He Zhiyuan thought to himself, it's over, I'm afraid I'm going to make a fool of myself today. Where can I make poetry, what if Zhou Fuliu or Liang Yuesong can still help me out here, but they are not there for me? He struggled to remember what he had read about the ginkgo trees in Mt. Floating in his previous life. Finally thought of a poem by a Taishou in the Qing Dynasty, no matter what, just make a back copy.

So he pretended to think and began to chant:

The big tree dragon will be Luhou, and the smoke cloud is like a cage floating mound.

The shape of the petaled lotus seat, the quality ratio of the layers of snail head. ??? ????

The history of the emperor has been in the twentieth generation, and there are many streams of people who have been released by immortals.

It seems that the present and the past are all illusions, and the only son travels with a long life.

When everyone heard this seven-word quatrain, they naturally praised it again, and He Zhiyuan sweated violently in his heart. I can't do a copy of the text in the future, I have ink in my stomach, maybe I'll get a card when I go.
