A few people walked all the way like this, all the way to the mountains and rivers, all the way to talk about the past and the present.

On this day, they came to the ancient city of Luoyang.

The five elements of yin and yang, the Chinese people have always taken the south as the yang and the north as the yin, and Luoyang was named because it was located in the south of Luoshui.

The Heluo area, centered on Luoyang, is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization. Ancient myths such as Fuxi, Nuwa, Yellow Emperor, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and Xia Yu came out from here. Xia Taikang moved the capital, Shang Tang set the capital to Xihao, King Wu fell, 800 princes will meet Mengjin, Zhou Gong auxiliary government, moved Jiuding to Luoyi. King Ping moved eastward, Gaozu Duluo, Guangwu Zhongxing, Wei and Jin Xiangchan, Xiaowen reform, Sui and Tang dynasties, Later Liang Tang and Jin, a total of thirteen dynasties built their capitals here.

Ban Gu wrote the Han book here, Sima Guang wrote the Zizhi Tongjian here, and the seven sons of Jian'an, the seven sages of the bamboo forest, and the twenty-four friends of Jingu gathered here. Zuo Si's "Sandu Fu" once made "Luoyang paper expensive".

On the way, these people discussed that they would have a good time when they arrived in Luoyang.

It's just a pity that the season to see peonies bloom has passed.

The White Horse Temple is a must-go, the ancient Indian monks took Morteng, Zhu Falan trekked through the Pamir Plateau, with the portrait of the White Horse Sutra and the Buddha to Luoyang, Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty aimed to build a monastery in the north of the three-mile royal road outside the Xiyong Gate in Luoyang. In commemoration of the White Horse Sutra, it was named White Horse Temple.

This is the first time in China to seek the Dharma in the West, and here is the residence of the monks who first came to Huaxia to preach the Dharma. Shi Moteng and Zhu Falan translated the first Chinese Buddhist scripture - the forty-two chapters.

The first Han Chinese monk walked out of here,...... There have been many firsts here.

The morning bell and dusk drum, the passage of time, the thousand-year-old Sanskrit singing in the White Horse Temple, there is a lingering longevity and vicissitudes.

Hui Yu has been fond of this Buddhist holy place for a long time, and the appearance of the White Horse Temple in front of him makes his heart ache. It is in response to Zhang Ji's poem: The white horse has been empty, the remnants of the broken monument are missing, the autumn wind rises in the Xiaoxiao thatched house, and the sound of rain is strong all night.

The so-called happy comes, disappointed to return. Originally, they also wanted to visit the Longmen Grottoes, but they lost interest.

Qin Yue and Tan Wu are nothing, we know that no matter where these two people go, they are just satisfied with walking and passing by, because they have been to the White Horse Temple anyway.

Don't think that these two people are the other among those who like to travel in the mountains and rivers, no. Such people are not a minority, if not an important group, among those who play around. Don't they think they've gone to this place for nothing? Not at all. Because when someone talks about this place, he can say smugly, "This place? ”

The young lady is a devout believer who worships the Buddha when she sees the temple, and the fall of the temple does not prevent her from worshipping. She just felt a little more emotional, but she hated the war and chaos even more.

Like the White Horse Temple, which has been destroyed by war many times, Luoyang is not immune. The thirteen dynasties did not leave much left, but Luoshui was still flowing quietly on the north side of the ancient city.

Originally, a few people were going to stay here for a few more days, but they only stayed for one night and then set off west.

From Luoyang all the way west, after walking for a few days, the group came to the gateway of Guanzhong - Tongguan.

It is bordered by the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south, because "the river flows south in the Guan, because it is called Tongguan".

The terrain here is dangerous, there are Qinling Mountains in the south, there is the forbidden valley in the southeast, and there are twelve cities in the south of the valley. In the north, there are Wei and Luo, and the Yellow River hugs down. Near Huayue in the west, the surrounding mountains are even mountains, peaks and peaks, the valleys are deep and the precipices are exclusive, the mountains are high and the roads are heroic, there is only a narrow sheep intestine path, and only one car and one horse can be allowed to go back and forth.

The so-called "small road risk and ape competition", "the road in the world stops Tong pass risk".

The great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty left a poem after that: "The father-in-law sees the important place, narrow and narrow for bicycles." Struggle hard to grow a halberd, and use a husband for eternity. ”

In addition, the geographical location of Tongguan is very important, it is the only way to enter the Central Plains in the east and the pass in the west, and it has always been a place where soldiers must fight. Therefore, it is immediately followed by Shanhaiguan and is known as the second pass in the world.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, Ma Chao and Han Sui fought here, making Tongguan famous all over the world. Whether it is a true historical story or not, it is unknown, anyway, there is still Ma Chao Robinia left in Tongguan City.

Even though it has not been a war for some years, it is a military town after all, and it always maintains this high level of alert. Therefore, the gate of Tongguan is opened early and closed at night, and it is only opened once a day. In the past, people generally have to stay overnight, and Qin Yue's group is no exception.

The young lady went out this time to open her eyes, no matter where she went, she refused to miss the fun places.

As soon as she settled down, she asked Qin Yue, is there any famous spot near Tongguan? How could Qin Yue know? But there is a mouth under the nose, and when she inquires, there is really a place that tourists must visit, called Buddha Head Cliff. Hui Yu said this place, he had also heard of it.

Qin Yue went out to ask for directions, and a few people rushed over.

This is the highest mountain in the Qinling Mountains in Tongguan, and it is named because the mountain resembles the head of the Buddha.

Because the top of the mountain is surrounded by white clouds all year round, it is also called Baiyun Mountain. The Buddha head cliff mountain is steep, straight like a knife. The trees on the cliff are tall and lush. The mountain trail is winding and winding, also known as "Eighteen Pans". People walk on it, like a ladder.

Buddha head cliff has a Bodhisattva temple built during the Tang Zhenguan period. There are five main halls, ten monks' houses, and the temple is close to the mountain.

The ancient trees in front of the temple are towering, and the cliffs behind the temple are precipitous. Standing on the cliff, looking around the mountains, the mountains are stacked with green, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the beauty is dripping. Overlooking the mountain, Tianmo village, the surging Yellow River and the rolling Weishui are in full view.

Several people were deeply attracted by this scenery, and in the words of the young lady, they really wanted to live here.

It is famous here because of the legend that Princess Tongguan Miaoshan learned Buddhism here, and finally cultivated a thousand-eyed and thousand-armed Bodhisattva in the Buddha Cliff Temple on the top of the mountain. With the Buddha as the name of the mountain, the Buddha as the name of the temple, and the thousand-handed Buddha as the core, the Buddha head cliff is covered with a mysterious veil. So that there are stories everywhere and legends everywhere.

Let's just talk about the big stones! The one that is about to fall is the "stepping stone", the one that is angry and round is the "lion-faced stone", the one that is old and the dragon bell is the "turtle stone", and the one that is immediately horizontal is the "Huima stone".

There are "Peace Pavilion", "Lectern Shed", "Dressing Tree", "Returning to the True Cave", "Lover's Peak", and "Yellow Dragon Pond" and "Black Dragon Pond" that witness Princess Miaoshan saving all sentient beings.

The mountains are also full of strange peaks, there are huge reclining Buddhas formed by the combination of the main peak and the side peaks of Fotou Mountain, there are the sleepy and hazy "Tang monk rest", there is the vivid "old man's back mountain", and there is the majestic "General Peak". There is also a lifelike "peacock beam" and a small and exquisite "gourd stone......

The young lady said with deep feelings, we are simply into the legends and stories.

Back at the residence, the store said that there is a good scene in Tongguan, called Fengling Xiaodu, and it is best to go early in the morning to watch.

Early the next morning, a few people went out of the city and took a detour to Fengling Ferry.

Tongguan is also located at the confluence of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and is also the main road for waterway transportation.

There is a poem in the distance: "When the flood waves are in the sky, a few leaves of flat boats cross the dawn." Qin and Jin are in the northern limit of Yunnan, and this mausoleum is from ancient Datong City. ”

Fengling, legend has it that it is the cemetery of Nuwa.

As soon as dawn dawned, the sleeping Yellow River had just woken up, and the shadows of the trees on the bank were faintly recognizable, and merchants from the south and north gathered here.

cart riders, horseback riders, cattle drivers, load-laden men, bag-bearers...... One after another, it's not lively.

Some are in a hurry, some are waiting, and some are already sitting in the bow of the boat in the middle of the boat.

Looking up and down the Yellow River, the smoke is vast and the mast lights are flickering. The ships galloped north and south, and the colorful sails competed from east to west. Listen intently, the sound of rushing water, squeaky masturbation, high-pitched trumpets, customer shouts, birds, bells, all merge together. Several people finally understood what was the beauty of Fengling Xiaodu and Fengling Xiaodu.

Several people continued to the west, and when they arrived in Lintong, they visited the Huaqing Palace.

Huaqing Palace was the other palace of the emperors of the Tang Dynasty. Facing the Wei River at the back of the mountain, it is built by leaning on the mountain of Lifeng.

It used to be a grand scale, a magnificent building, a hall of buildings, and a hall all over the top and bottom of Lishan.

Tang poet Bai Juyi has a poem: "There is a palace on the high Li Mountain, and the purple hall of the Zhulou is three or four times. ”

The scenery of Lishan Mountain is beneficial, and there are hot springs that are said to be able to ward off evil spirits.

Legend has it that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it has become a place where Zhou Tianzi traveled.

Qin Shi Huang masonry the sky, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty added decoration. Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was in the fourth year of Tianhe, and everyone was ordered to kill Yuwen to protect the emperor Tang Shijing. Emperor Wen of Sui opened the emperor for three years, planted thousands of pines and cypresses, repaired houses and built buildings.

By the Tang Dynasty, it gradually became large-scale. In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Jiang Xingben, the general of the Zhao Zuowei, and Yan Lide, the master craftsman, built the palace and pavilion, and gave the name "Tangquan Palace". In the second year of Tang Gaozong's Xianheng, it was renamed "Hot Spring Palace".

Tang Xuanzong Tianbao for six years, renamed "Huaqing Palace". Huaqing Palace is also called Lishan Palace because it is in Lishan.

Huaqing Palace was built in the Tang Dynasty and flourished after the reign of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He comes here almost every October and leaves at the end of the year. Therefore, there is a famous sentence "the Son of Heaven is coming on October 1st, and the green rope royal road is dust-free". From the second year of Kaiyuan to the fourteenth year of Tianbao, in more than 40 years, Tang Xuanzong visited Qinghua Palace 38 times. Poems such as "Thousands of flags are in the wilderness, clouds and grass and trees shine brightly", "Eighty-one cars and tens of millions of rides, there is a feast in the morning and a gift at dusk", etc., fully express the grand occasion of Huaqing Palace at that time.

However, the Anshi Rebellion, with the fall of Tang Xuanzong, the Huaqing Palace also fell.

The Huaqing Palace, which appeared in front of Qin Yue's eyes, could no longer see the former glory here, only the remnants of the wall. There are few tourists, but there are still some of them.

Some people pointed out to them that the concubine pool dedicated to Yang Guifei back then was said to be in the shape of a lotus flower. They couldn't get inside, so they looked at the chaise pool outside.

The young lady asked: There is such a good hot spring, and there were so many buildings, why is it so ruined?

Huiyu said that it should be related to the eastward relocation of the capital of the dynasty, so far away from the imperial city, who would come all the way here to take a hot spring?

In fact, many prosperous and cultural landscapes are often created by the arrogance and extravagance of the emperor. Hui Yu was moved.

What Shigong said should make sense, Qin Yue thought to herself.
