Chapter 126: Wonders
The word "chaos" reminds me of the saying that has been circulating in Chinese history since ancient times: "chaos", also known as "chaos". The ancient Chinese imagined that the universe was blurred before the opening up of heaven and earth, and it was later used to describe the vague and vague appearance.
However, now is not the time to study these, so I pulled Duoduo and stuck it to the rock wall on the side to prevent a disaster from falling from the sky.
I turned back to look at the others, and the old ghost pulled Lisa with her back to the rock wall. However, it is the other side of the spectrum. The big man, Qian Cheng and the old man also posted to the rock wall.
What's more interesting is that several people are looking up, as if they are worried about what will happen. However, it is not all worry, and there is even some expectation.
It is only at this time that we are able to take a closer look at this "silver lining". Our hiding place was still spacious, but the higher we went, the narrower it became. Looking at it this way, it gives people a very strong sense of oppression, as if they will be close at any time.
In fact, the special terrain of "a line of sky" is still very common in China:
There are often stone scenes like "a line of sky" in the famous mountains and peaks in our country. It is named because of the confrontation between the two walls, and the blue sky seen in the gap is like a line.
The more famous ones are Huashan, Huangshan, Emei Mountain, Wuyi Mountain, Jianglang Mountain, Jiugong Mountain, Sanqing Mountain and other places of the "first-line sky" beauty.
Due to the peculiar landscape of the "first line of sky", it has become a popular attraction for many scenic spots. From a geological point of view, the most common "glimmer of sky" occurs mostly in limestone areas, which is a special erosion landform.
However, there are also "silver liners" formed by faults. Compared to the former, the difference is that the rocks on both sides of them have a displacement of up and down, left and right. The one in front of us should be the latter.
I once went to Huangshan with Duoduo, where there is a "ray of sky". I remember seeing this strange scenery a lot. Very excited. But I have an unprecedented sense of oppression.
At that time, I really thought of "Luofengpo" and "Huarong Dao" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and thought of Guan Yu and Pang Tong.
The first line of the Yellow Mountain is below the Wenshu Cave, and the Yuping Road is climbed. Cross the careful slope and cross the fairy bridge, one day the two walls are sandwiched into a long and narrow stone lane, and the width is only 2 meters. The narrow place is only half a meter, and there are more than 80 levels in the middle of the road, which can only accommodate one person.
People walk among them, looking up at the sky, and there is only a line left in the blue sky. If it is not the child and the noon (twelve o'clock), the moon and the day are not seen, so it is called "a line of sky".
Li Fei, a native of the Qing Dynasty, has a poem: "The stones in the clouds open brocade seams, and they are never allowed to embed the slanting sun." Who looks up and sees Tongxiao Road, a foot of blue sky is thousands of feet long. "That's the kind of terrain we're talking about.
There is also Jianglang Mountain. There is also such terrain.
It is 312 meters high, 298 meters long, 4 meters wide at the widest point and 3.5 meters at the narrowest point, and has been surveyed by 56 geological experts in East China as "the most first-line sky in the country".
The stone walls on both sides of the sky are called yin and yang walls. The yin wall is the west cliff of the sub-peak, the stone wall is exposed, and there is no grass. The sun wall is the east cliff of Lingfeng. The grass grows lush and full of life. It is known as "the world's first wall hanging." Song Shiyun: "Move to the three mountains and stones of the Bohai Sea, and cut off the Milky Way." It is said that the first line of heaven in Jianglang Mountain originated from a legend of "Feilai Peak" [1].
From different angles, you can see the "first line of sky" with different scenery, sometimes the Arabic numeral "1", sometimes the Chinese "one". Sometimes it's half a circle; In different seasons, there will be different landscapes such as "silver dragon going to sea", "ice edge hanging upside down", "tree branch flying spring", "sky hanging curtain" and so on.
Legend: Ancient Jiangshan City, South Jianglang Mountain, and the Sea. The princess of the East China Sea Longjun Hai and the Jiang Saburo are childhood sweethearts, and they are deeply friendly. Three Sequence Confucian, Erlang Fishing, Dalang Hunting.
Longjun married the general toad with the princess of the sea, commonly known as the toad. Looks like sex is greedy. The princess of the sea did not obey and ran to live in the Jiang family. The toad was very jealous and angry, and led the turtle essence, shrimp soldiers, crab generals, centipedes, and poisonous snakes to kill innumerously. Erlang raised a net to catch shrimp and crabs, and threw stones to kill; Saburo urges the rooster to peck the centipede and drive the sow to swallow the poisonous snake. In an instant, only toads and turtles remained. Erlang threw a shot at the turtle spirit, and Dalang attacked the toad with a falcon, shattering its left eye and the top of its skull, and the blood flowed like an infusion. The toad's breath was dying, still dying, and the chanting of the mantra caused the sea water to gush up, flooding the fields, houses, people, animals, roosters, and sows were killed. Da Lang blocked the sea mouth with his body, and Erlang and San Lang also rushed to block it, and the sea water gradually stopped. Princess Shihai saw the turtle essence hiding place, covered it with a chicken coop, and killed it with a knife. Chicken coop, turtle essence are all fossils, there is a huge rock on it, only one person is allowed to pass in it, and it is called chicken alley now.
The toad died, fossil, known as the toad stone. The falcon is killed by its venom, and the fossil is called the black eagle stone. Now the black eagle still looks down on the toad stone, as if it is hindering its recovery.
The three brothers of Jiang Lang are all fossils, the great shore Zhuo Zhuo, supporting the heavens and the earth, and now the three stones of Jiang Lang. The land is cut off from the sea, the sea princess swears to die, and the dragon monarch is helpless.
The sea princess turned into a cuckoo, returned to Xiangjiang Langshi, and cried from time to time: "Brother, I follow you!" I will not return, I will not return! Jiang Langshi replied affectionately: "Hugh returns!" Hugh returns! β
Bai Juyi saw Jiang Lang Mountain, and he yearned for it: "Lin Ji and his two children don't eat for a long time, and Jiang Lang's three sons dream of returning home." Ande has wings in this body, and he is drunk with you. β
When Lu You first arrived, he praised: "Qifeng welcomes the horse and is appalling, and Shuling Wushan is empty." Five thousand miles of green sky, in the small poem of Lao Qu Panqu. Lu You wrote several such poems.
Yang Wanli also sighed: "I can't stop walking all over the foot of the famous mountain, and seeing the canal makes my eyes brighter." What are the benefits of Lang Feng, bamboo shoots peeling three poles of purple water essence. β
Xin Qiji is a metaphor: "The three peaks are as green as cutting, and Zhuo Li can't do it." Integrity supports each other without support, supporting heaven and earth and people. β
There is also the great traveler Xu Xiake of the Ming Dynasty, who admired the majestic shore of the three peaks of Jianglang, visited three times, and left a magical legend every time.
It's word of mouth from generation to generation. It tells the extraordinary deeds of our predecessors in the process of existence with boundless imagination. As well as the ancestors' admiration, curiosity, and exploration of famous mountains. The rich legends and the famous mountains of Jianglang complement each other and are full of charm.
The real legend is different from the grafting of flowers and trees of today's people, and the fiction of the wall. Fabricating a "legend" at will is a confusing thing and is not credible.
"Honglu Gong takes a lead" is a legend I knew when I was a child. According to his grandfather, Zhou Honglu resigned and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion, and settled in the Bell and Drum Cave of Jianglang Mountain.
This former sage wanted to reach the top and become an immortal, so he built a guide frame at the foot of the Sanyi stone. The lead frame has not reached the top for three years, and the bottom has rotted.
It is also said that the two immortals, Lu Dongbin and Tie Guan Li, originally wanted to fulfill his wish. It's a pity that Honglu Gongfu is thin and has never been able to make his dream come true. But in order to commemorate him, the people of Fenglin built a temple at the foot of the Sanyi stone. Since then, every year on June 19, the Jianglangshan temple fair is particularly prosperous.
The classic legend of Honglu Gong has a high reputation in Jiangshan. It reflects a legendary figure in Fenglin and puts people's ideals and pursuits into practice. Although unsuccessful, his naΓ―ve actions won the respect and love of future generations.
According to historical records: Zhou Honglu's name is Wenxing, the word is Bin, and he was born in 1479. At the age of 29, he took the township examination, and the examiner criticized him on his paper: "The literature is precious, and the knowledge is super dusty." This son has mountain and forest weather, and there is no pavilion scale. β
In the spring of the following year, the twelfth Jinshi of the Chinese-style Lu Nanbang, and the eighth official of the calendar to Honglu Temple. But he never forgot Jiang Langshan in his heart, so he resigned at the age of 59 and returned to his hometown. This is the factual basis of the legendary figure, not pure fabrication.
Famous mountains naturally cannot lack temples and monks, and the Southern Tang Dynasty monk Yiyan left traces in Jianglang Mountain. It is said that when Yi Yan was practicing in the Bell Drum Cave, he once asked his disciple Huixing to plug the entrance of the cave with a stone, and it was opened on the first anniversary.
This kind of retreat and cultivation is a compulsory test of life and will, which is beyond the tolerance and understanding of ordinary laypeople. This is the unusual thing about the high monks, so some people call Yi Yan "living immortals". It can also be regarded as a strange anecdote of Jianglang's treasure land.
According to the forty-seventh volume of the "Taiping Yulan", it is recorded: "There are Zhan Manchu, who live at the foot of Jianglang Mountain, and his son Shijin is unable to return due to the Yongjia Rebellion." Mannai made Zhu Zongyan in the spirit of the three stones, so that he could reach his son and love the sacrifice. In the middle of the month, Zhanzi went out of the Luo water, saw the three young people closed their eyes and entered the car rail, waiting for the idle like a wind, and fell from the air between the Russian leanings, and suddenly did not know why, and felt that it was home for a long time. β
From this magical legend, it can be known that at least in the Jin Dynasty, there were many common people who lived in Jianglang Mountain, and there was a spiritual stone temple to commemorate the god Jianglang. Its god can bless the safety of the people of Jianglang and save the son of Zhan Man, who is working far away in Luoyang. This legend was first recorded in the "Chronicles of the County" and the Yongjia Rebellion occurred in 311 of the Western Jin Dynasty, 1700 years ago.
Among the many legends of Jianglang Mountain, the most ancient should be the story of the three Jianglang brothers.
According to Tongzhi's "Jiangshan County Chronicles": Wen Sibo wants to be cloudy: The three Jiang brothers climbed to the top and turned into stone. And the folk legend is that the three Jiang brothers fought with General Toad for the love of Princess Hai.
In order to block the sea mouth and block the rushing seawater, the three brothers turned into three boulders. Although the above two legends have different contents, they are both first humans, and then there are three megaliths, and the boulders are transformed by the three brothers of Jiang Lang.
I also heard my grandmother say: a long, long time ago, there were three Jiang brothers at the foot of Jianglang Mountain, who made a living by farming and cutting firewood.
They all yearn to climb to the top of the three stones, and the gods also want to help them, but because the Jiang brothers are still in the dust, they are nostalgic for their families, and they heard shouts on the way to the climb and looked back, and finally fell down.
It turned out that the gods tested their will and determination, and they were not firm enough, so they failed. In this legend, there were three stones first, and then there were the three Jiang brothers.
Regardless of whether there are people first and then there are three huge stones, or there are three stones before people come to live, the three Jiang brothers should be the first people to work and live at the foot of Jianglang Mountain. (To be continued......)
