The feeling of climbing Fengshan

Some time ago, I had nothing to do, so I made an appointment with my friends to climb Mingfeng Mountain.

Mingfeng Mountain is one of the landmark buildings in Yuan 'an. Many years ago, before I went to Yuan 'an, I knew there was Amin Fengshan in Yuan 'an. However, at that time, people often mistakenly called "Ming Fengshan" Mountain Mount.

Climbing Fengshan is one of the sports modes of many people in Yuan 'an. I once heard that someone climbed from Tianmen to Jinding in a quarter of an hour. I admire this kind of physical strength and endurance, but I have never been able to do it.

Mingfeng Mountain is 408 meters above sea level, with a relative height of 288 meters. Although it is not high, it is difficult. The mountains are ups and downs, and there are often dangerous walls, sometimes steep and sometimes narrow, and you have to use your hands and feet in a crisis. The first time I climbed Mingfeng Mountain, from the back mountain to the front mountain, I issued a message, "Look up from the back mountain to see my feet, and lift my feet from the front mountain to welcome me." What a big risk! Come on! "feelings.

Ming Fengshan is not easy to climb, but you have to climb. Xianfeng years, Yuan An teachings Liu Ziyuan said:

"Ming Fengshan, the grand view of Yu Anan. People in Beijing said that Yu Yue said,' This mountain is comparable to Wudang, so you must visit it.' "

There are three roads in Ming Fengshan. I have walked many times in the front and back hills. This time, at the suggestion of a friend, we decided to go up the mountain via Shendong Road.

Knowing that we were going up the mountain from the East Shinto, someone kindly reminded us to get ready, saying that the road to the East Shinto was not easy and it would take a long time. At first, we didn't care, and we seemed determined to win.

However, not far away, we met a cliff. Fortunately, there is a steel ladder to rely on. I used my hands and feet to crawl all over, and I didn't dare to look back or look around all the time.

Such a scene was also encountered when Yuan Zhongdao climbed the Ming Fengshan in the Ming Dynasty. He said:

"In the big stone hall, the water bypasses the front and listens to the sound of water on the railing. I climbed the dangerous wall, but fortunately there were stone fences to climb. "

Yuan Zhongdao's "Dashitang" is located in the present Toutianmen area, which is a common way to climb the mountain now. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to various conditions, it was difficult for the ancients to take the road that people often took today.

Liu Ziyuan mentioned earlier, after the locals told him that "Ming Fengshan is a must", took advantage of the cool breeze at dawn in August, took a sedan chair out of the West Gate, crossed Qushui, crossed Baoshi Mountain, and headed for Ming Fengshan. He looked around all the way, and the mountains turned to water, carefree and happy.

At Toutianmen, Liu Jiaoyu had to get out of the sedan chair, walk, panting, and climb up the stone platform step by step. He swam leisurely and carefully and spent the whole day.

"At sunset, starting from the original road, I know where it is, so I will return to it and let the swimmers lead the way."

Let's go back to the East Shinto Road we took.

After walking over that cliff, it is not difficult to go east to Shinto in terms of danger. On the contrary, the road is wider, because someone cleans it and there are no thorns on the road. In my opinion, the difficulty of East Shinto lies in that with the ups and downs of mountains, people have to rise and fall and count. How to grasp the rhythm? How to summon up courage? Awkward.

Sometimes the goal is close at hand. If there is a road in the cloud, you can get there in a few steps. However, winding along the mountain road is very troublesome. It is a test of physical strength and psychological strength.

We climbed the East Shinto Road and took a rest every time we climbed a hill, not daring to sit for a long time. As the saying goes, "if you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of standing." Happy three miles, dare not linger. Once you stay too long, you can't move your legs and feet. The same was true of Liu's teaching in those days.

"Tired feet, sit on the stone, get up at ease, hold the chains on both sides, and climb from Mazongling ape to the top."

I was so tired that I sat on the stone. My friends and I encourage each other. "I want to finish the road I chose with tears in my eyes."

Take the East Shinto Road. Although tired, you can see the different scenery of Mingfeng Mountain. As Wang Anshi sighed after visiting Baochan:

"The ancients' views on heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, vegetation, insects, fish, birds and animals are often valuable and are all in the depths of their thoughts. Husband and wife have many tourists; The risks are far away, but the risks are few. But the extraordinary worldview often lies in dangerous distance, and what people lack is difficulty, so where there is a will, there is a way. If you are ambitious, you can't stop, but if you don't have enough strength, you can't get there. Have ambition and strength, but don't be lazy. As for darkness and confusion, nothing can match it, nor can it be realized. However, the strength is enough, people can laugh at it, but they have regrets; Those who can't do what I want can have no regrets, so who can laugh at them? So is the rest of the income. "

The truth contained in this passage is very profound, and it is close and far-reaching. Wang Anshi appreciated "wonders" and concluded that there should be "three things": one is ambition, the other is strength, and the third is things. By extension, my understanding is that if you want to appreciate the ultimate scenery of life, you must have ambition, ability and platform, or you must want to do, be able to do and be kind.

The most rare thing in life is that "those who can't do my best can have no regrets." No regrets is the great realm of life.

There is no mountain higher than man, and there is no road longer than man. Finally, we climbed the Jinding of Mingfeng Mountain wearily. When I reached the top of the mountain, I heard a Taoist in the Taoist temple tell us that she has been up the mountain for nearly 30 years and has never walked the East Shinto Road. Another Taoist said that he walked a section of the East Shinto Road 20 years ago and never went down again after reaching the hill opposite the Taoist temple.

Down the mountain, we took the road that tourists often took, and it was also a difficult road written by the ancients. It took three hours to get back through Shendong Road, the starting point.

It is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is also difficult to go down the mountain. Yang Wanli said:

"Mo Yan's downhill is not difficult. He has won people's love. I am entering the Wanshan Circle, and one mountain blocks one mountain. "

Walk all the way down the hill sideways.

Among the ancient poems I have read describing Deng Youming's Fengshan, one that left a deep impression on me was Zhou Baoen's Lost in Fengshan. This person worked as a tutor in Yuan 'an for three years (1864) and participated in the writing of Yuan 'an County Records. The poem says:

"Up and down the next moment of serious business, how to travel the dust.

When you encounter the wrong prescription, you will know how to turn it. If you regret your future, ask someone else. "

This poem is quite cautionary and full of philosophy. When the road comes to an end and there is no way out, it is too late to know how to ask and choose the road. Again, "only by looking back at the road you have traveled, comparing the roads of others, overlooking the road ahead, and figuring out where you are and where you are going, can you see many problems profoundly and accurately."

By the way, in my humble opinion, there are many articles worth reading about Yuan 'an's ancient poetry, whether it is chanting or lyrical, whether it is narrative or commentary.

Climbing over the ridge to see the distance is not afraid of high mountains and long roads, steep slopes and deep pits, but of "regretting not looking at the road" and "regretting not looking at the future and asking people"

People live in the world, the road is long, Xiu Yuan Xi, they search up and down. Fan Chengda sighed with emotion, "The roads in the world are better than mountain roads, and there are ten million more roads in the world". No matter how many dishes you have, you should make a good abacus in your heart and always have a clear account. Although there are many difficulties, it is not difficult to take a step, because "dare to ask where the road is?" The road is under your feet. "

Through the Oriental Shinto, you can better understand:

"What is the road? It was stepped out from a place where there was no road, and it was opened up from a place where there were only thorns. "

Finally, I have to say that there are thousands of roads in Qian Qian, and the most difficult thing is the routine.
