Chapter 127: Famous Mountains and Famous Rivers
The three brothers of the Jiang family have a blue thread of merit to Jianglang Mountain, and the descendants call this mountain "Jianglang Mountain" in order to commemorate them. But according to Fang Zhi, "Jianglang Mountain" is also known as "Jin Chun Mountain".
It is recorded in the Dongyang Chronicle that there are three peaks in Jinchun Mountain, all of which are 100 feet high, and the color is dazzling, and you can't look up. Only then did I know that this Jinchun Mountain is a rare Danxia landform in the world. Moreover, we are preparing to apply for the World Heritage Site!
During the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, Jianglang Mountain attracted two historical celebrities to settle here. Due to their age, the legends about them are also confusing.
It is said that Zhu Dongshan was invited by the surname Jiang of Jianglang to set up a museum in Jianglang Mountain to teach. Zhou Mei, the assassin of Sanqu, heard his name and was surprised that he had the style of a national soldier, so he persuaded and recommended Zhu Dongshan to enter Beijing as an official.
Unexpectedly, persuasion failed, but he was fascinated by Jiang Lang's scenery. As a result, in the end, he also resigned from his official position, and also became a hermit in Fenglin under Jianglang Mountain. After his death, he was buried in Liuchunwu, Jianglang Mountain, and his tomb was preserved for 1,200 or 300 years.
Zhou Mei and Zhu Dongshan, two historical figures, were compiled into "Liuyu" by the "Tongzhi Jiangshan County Chronicles", referring to people who lived in other places. This is a moving story that happened around the 7th century A.D. and is related to Jianglang Mountain. In short, there are many characters and legends related to Jianglang Mountain. Due to space limitations, I will not list them here.
In the sixth year of Wu Yue Baozheng of the fifth dynasty (931 AD), Qian Biao, the king of Wu Yue, changed Xujiang County to Jiangshan County in the south of the county, which is the origin of the place name of Jiangshan City. Moreover, this major event was recorded in the first volume of the first book of the "Tongzhi Jiangshan County Chronicles".
It can be seen from this that the three Jiang brothers not only integrated with the famous mountain, but also became a spiritual symbol that stood up to the sky and the earth. Moreover, it has also become the image representative and business card of the whole city, and has truly been remembered for centuries and immortal.
However, the Jianglang God of Lingshi Temple may also be a kind of sustenance for ideals and beliefs produced by the ancestors out of the worship of Jianglang Sanyi Stone. But this is already a matter of philosophy. It's not something I should look into.
Coincidentally, there is also a line of heaven in Wuyi Mountain.
The first line of heaven in Wuyi Mountain is also known as "Lingyan". Located at the southwest end of the Wuyi peaks, it is the most strange cave in Wuyi, known as the title of "the wonder of the ghostly axe".
The location of the first line of heaven is in a secluded canyon south of Jiuqu Creek Erqu. Inside, a majestic boulder. From Fuxi Cave into the rock. If you go to the depths and look up, you can see a crack in the top of the rock, like a sharp axe splitting it.
The rock walls on both sides are less than a foot apart and are about 100 meters long. Leaking into the sky light from it, it is like a rainbow across the sky, which is a breathtaking line of sky.
There are many folk legends about the origin of the first line of heaven: some say that it was cut by the peach blossom girl with an embroidery needle; Some say that this is the god Fuxi chopping with a jade axe.
But according to scientific analysis, the red rock formations of Wuyi Mountain. It is interbedded by sandstone, conglomerate and shale, and the lithology is relatively brittle. In the process of crustal uplift, the rock layer is affected by uneven stress, resulting in slight fractures, forming so-called "joints".
This vertical joint, that is, the tiny cracks, gradually expands and lengthens under the dissolution and erosion of flowing water over the years. The bottom of the rock layer is shale with a soft texture. It gradually eroded away and became a shallow cavern. Thereupon. The three holes are juxtaposed, and a natural wonder that sees the sky appears.
Watch a line of sky in the Fuxi Cave, walk right along the stone wall for about dozens of steps, and you can fold into the wind tunnel. Visitors must use their hands and feet together to pass sideways. Rare mammals can often be seen in the cave - white bats, which adds a curious interest to visitors.
The wind tunnel in the middle also leads to a line of sky. The cool breeze blows from the stones, and even in the middle of summer, you will feel the cold of your muscles and bones after sitting for a while, like a huge natural air conditioner. The word "wind cave" on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave is very eye-catching, and this word is written by Song Xu Ziqiang.
Out of the wind tunnel. Bypass a stone corridor again, and it is the Lingyan Cave. There is an interesting legend about this spiritual cave.
Legend has it that there was an immortal surnamed Ge before, who once subdued demons here, so the cave was also called "Gexian Cave". There is an ancient well in the cave, called "Holy Water Well". This inevitably reminds me of the "holy well" in "Journey to the West", which cured Zhu Bajie's pregnancy. However, it doesn't have much to do with that.
To the south of the first line of heaven, on the opposite side of it, is the pavilion rock. This is a stone rock with a screen wall, and there are several caves on half of the wall, which is said to be the so-called "fairy pavilion".
To the left of it, there is another rock, named "Lanyan". The rock wall is carved vertically and horizontally, and there are countless petroglyphs, but it is also another kind of scenery. A rock under a rock, leaning against a cliff face. The stone path stretches into it, like a pass, known as the "Gate of Heaven". There is also an interesting snail cave in the pile of rocks in front of the rock.
I also know about the "first line of sky" of Wuyi Mountain.
And the first line of Emei Mountain in Sichuan, also known as "Baiyun Gorge", is also a unique scenery. Its general location is located under the Ox Heart Ridge. From Qingyin Pavilion to the first line of heaven, go up the mountain along the Heilongjiang River westward, and the mountain path twists and turns on both sides of the river. There is a canyon in the extreme depth of the narrow road to the valley, which is called "Baiyun Gorge". This is it!
The outside of the gorge is open and clear, and the gorge is dangerous and cool. The temperature difference between the inner and outer parts of the gorge is large, and the feeling is strong; Entering the canyon, looking up, the two sides of the cliffs, oblique clouds, like a mountain being split by a sharp axe. Through the dense vines, branches and leaf tips, a blue sky is revealed. It is more than 200 meters high and more than 6 meters wide; The narrowest point is only 3 meters, allowing only two people to pass sideways. This scene and this color are the "first line of sky".
In the old days, walking in the old days required wading back and forth to step on rocks to cross the stream, and to walk in the rocks. Therefore, the common name of the mountain road in this area is "twenty-four feet do not dry".
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the scenic spot management department has built several small bridges and renovated them into a flat cement mountain road. Along the way, the waterfalls on both sides of the river roared, the mountain birds sang, the wild flowers were dyed, the strange rocks were grand, and the mountain roads were twists and turns. With the turn of the stream peak, there is a sense of "winding paths leading to seclusion". So that tourists who come to play can also enjoy the fun of tossing and turning, and also have a feeling of lingering!
The Heilongjiang plank road passes through the canyon and is 130 meters long. The corridor is turning, and the road surface is clean; It seems difficult, but it is flat and stable. There are still countless holes left on the cliff, which are left behind by the plank road erected by the haters of the past. This starry hole is also another rare sight.
According to the "Mount Emei" published many years ago, "In the past, the plank road was narrow and simple, and visitors fell from time to time. ”
In the early 80s, after visiting Qingyin Pavilion and Hongchunping, the famous contemporary Mongolian writer Malachov lamented in the article "On the Emei Road": "People still call this 'plank road', which is also very good." Let people walk on the sturdy bridge, and don't forget the difficulty of climbing the plank road in ancient times. ”
Visitors come here to look up at this eternal landscape drawn by nature, appreciate its poetic subtle beauty, and all of them are fascinated and imaginative.
Wang Wenchen's "A Line of Sky" wrote: "The knife splits the axe and cuts the mountain to open, and the light of the sky reflects the moss." The independent trestle is refreshing, and I am fortunate to come here three times today. ”
Legend has it that when Sun Simiao, the "medicine fairy", lived in seclusion in Niuxin Temple, this pool of clear water was used for his life, so it was also called "Taomi Spring".
China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there has always been no shortage of famous mountains and rivers, and the more famous first-line sky scenery can be said to be countless. If you continue to talk about them one by one, it is estimated that you will not be able to finish it for three days and three nights. I can only choose some of the more interesting ones:
Sanqingshan is located at the junction of Yushan County and Dexing City, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. It is a world natural heritage and a national key scenic spot - Sanqing Mountain Nanqing Garden Scenic Area.
Follow the stone steps to the direction of Yutai, and go up a steep slope at the bend. The cliffs on both sides are sharpened, the middle is less than 1 meter wide, and the slope is 120 meters long and about 100 meters high. At its narrowest, it can only accommodate 1 person. Visitors come here, look up and only see a line of blue sky, so it is named "a line of sky".
But what is more interesting is that it is also known as "a line of lead", which is a metaphor for the meaning of "a thousand miles of marriage"! In April 2001, it was rebuilt and straightened, and the first line of heavenly steps was changed to 299 steps, with the homonym "love for a long time", which means that love is eternal.
On both sides, there are five islands such as lovesickness, acquaintance, love, love, and concentricity, and the theme of implied love is constantly sublimated. There is a 9-level small platform on the upper repair, which symbolizes that love lasts forever and that lovers eventually become dependents. Ascend the ninety-nine platform, the world is long, happy and happy.
At that time, when I went to play with Duoduo, Duoduo liked it very much. You have to take a picture with me there, and say that when you get tired of playing, you can make a home there.
Shaoguan Danxia is a line of sky, also known as "Gospel Gorge".
Here the cliffs depend on each other, the two mountains stand side by side, the distance is only a few feet apart, and the distance is only seen to see the blue sky from the gorge dew. A stone on the right, shaped like straw sandals.
It is rumored that it was left behind by Jigong. The Living Buddha of Jigong has always been uninhibited, alone, and traveling all over the world.
Suddenly, one day, I went to Danxia Mountain, and saw the red light and rui qi of this mountain, which turned out to be a blessed place for burning wood Buddha to cultivate. Then he fell down the clouds, visited the burning of the wooden Buddha, and proved the Dharma together. This was done for 9981 days, and I forgot myself. When saying goodbye, the monk's hat and straw shoes were left here, and they became the monk's hat peak and cinderella stone.
If a person stands in the gorge and shouts facing the south, then the person will be blessed, so the gorge is called "Gospel Gorge".
In addition, there are many places and a line of sky, all of which have unique scenery and natural nature. Xu Xiake once praised in his "Xu Xiake's Travels": "On the top of the mountain, far through the north of the mountain, the middle can not accommodate the shoulder, the cover is suffered, the tired level is oblique, straight through it." Yu saw several places of 'first-line sky', Wuyi, Huangshan, and Fugai, and never saw such a big and forced, far and whole. ”
Zhangjiajie Chaoyang Ground Seam, located in the territory of Chaoyang in Cili County, is the world's longest "first-line sky" wonder. The total length is 5 kilometers, and the development trail is more than 3,000 meters, with a vertical depth of nearly 200 meters. This Chaoyang ground crack is a cliff crack more than 100 meters deep formed by the flowing water in the Zhaojiaya reservoir area after hundreds of millions of years. The narrowest part of the two cliffs is only more than one meter wide, and the scenery is strange, beautiful, dangerous, wild and secluded.
However, due to the beautiful scenery of Zhangjiajie, it is not so prominent.
I looked up again, and although the "first-line sky" in front of me was similar to the first-line sky-shaped system of the famous mountains and rivers mentioned earlier, there seemed to be some indescribable differences. However, all of a sudden, he couldn't say anything.
At this time, the mountain walls close at hand on both sides actually shook! (To be continued......)
