Green waves gush out of Crystal Mountain-Lu Shixiong

Looking from afar, the Taizi Mountain is either looming in the veil-like clouds and mysterious, or occasionally revealing a majestic image in the new clear fog. However, the brilliant brushwork of literati in past dynasties added luster to Taizi Mountain. In the poem Snow Mountain, Wang Hong, the minister of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, described Mount Taizi as "cold and snow accumulate over time, with high peaks and clear clouds". Deng Long, a scholar in Qing Dynasty, described the beauty and elegance of Mount Taizi with his pen of correcting customs. "Fairyland is near Xianhai, and green waves gush out of Crystal Mountain"; Qi Mei Xian, a poet who lives in seclusion in the countryside, praised the high-pressure Huashan Mountain in Taizi Mountain. Standing at the peak, it can be seen that "the river is boundless" and "Qin Long is like smoke".

Taizishan is located in the southwest of Linxia County. Because of its bare stone, it was called Lushan or Baishishan in ancient times. Because it snows at four o'clock, it is also called Snow Mountain. Later generations attached that Qin Shihuang sent Prince Fu Su to Hetao to repel the Huns, and the soldiers passed through this place, also known as Taizi Mountain. It is the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, winding 100 kilometers of mountains, from Tumen Pass to Yeliguan. During this period, the mountains are undulating and the odd peaks overlap. The main peak is in Linxia county, with an altitude of 4332 meters. There are more than a dozen pass canyons in China, connecting Gannan and Linxia. There was a wall in the Ming Dynasty, which was the dividing line between Han and Fan. Like a glittering jade necklace, it is embedded in the edge of the Loess Plateau, showing green hope for the children on the Loess Plateau.

However, in history, it used to be an ancient battlefield with swords and shadows and horses screaming. During the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi reformed the New Deal and sent general Wang Shao to launch the battle of Xihe River. Difficult March, Song Jun crossed the narrow mountain, and a surprise attack broke out, destroying the separatist regime headed by Mu Zheng, and setting up cities in Fuxi, Hehe, Taohe, Min, Dang and Diez, which made the Xihe area reappear the situation that people of all ethnic groups were surrounded by courtiers and officials were singing praises. In order to get rid of the "encirclement and suppression" of loyalists, Li Zicheng, a peasant uprising army in the late Ming Dynasty, entered Qinlong in the west, entered the ground from Jizhou, led troops over Taizishan, and entered Hezhou from Sophora japonica. In the fierce battle in Xichuan, he rushed out of the encirclement set by Hong Chengchou and entered Henan and Hubei in the east, turning the corner.

We crossed the Daxia River from Shuangcheng in Linxia County, crossed Tiezhai Township, entered Huaishuguan, and climbed Taizi Mountain against the marching route of Li Zicheng. This is an excellent tourist route. In August in midsummer, the sun is shining and the sky is blue. There is no "snow on the peak" and there is no fog around the peak. Mount Taizi stands in front of us with its true face of "towering from Kunlun and standing in the southwest", which seems to welcome us to climb and appreciate.

Climbing from here, people can appreciate the two major characteristics of the scenery of Taizi Mountain: First, the green of the foothills, as Deng Long said, "protruding from the green fields" and "green and thick"; Second, the crystal-clear mountain peak, the predecessor's poem "Blue waves gush out of the crystal mountain" and "clear light and bright stone" is a swan song.

The hills and gullies at the foot of Taizi Mountain are covered with green grass, and have no characteristics of yellow land and copper mountains at all. Here, there is a gurgling brook singing among the rocks, and there is green everywhere. With the increase of altitude, green, green and light colorful levels appeared.

As soon as I entered Huaishuguan, a long canyon meandered through the main peak of Nantong. The slopes on both sides of the valley are covered with shrubs and knee-high weeds, showing a bright green color and becoming a good grazing land. Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the grass slope. At the bottom of the valley, Huaishuguan River winds north to Daxia River.

Further south, we reach a triangle at the foot of the main peak, which is called "big grass beach" by the locals. The mountains and streams rushing from the east and west ditches meet here, and the pebbles as crystal as rain flower stones cover the riverbed. Pure and clear water glides gently across the river bed, waddles barefoot and feels cold. No wonder the poet exaggerates: "There is no ice at the bottom of the ravine in June." The breeze swept across the river, and the feeling of "washing away the soft dust and the red dust, cooling and forcing hair" suddenly occurred throughout the body. After climbing a gentle slope, Yang Shulin, which can accommodate more than 1000 people for camping and picnicking, welcomed us into its green embrace. I saw slim poplars holding novel and unique green umbrellas, sliding their slender legs and dancing. The color here is thicker and greener than when I first entered the pagoda tree pass. Above the head, poplar leaves are crystal clear as jade, and the trunk of poplar is clear and bright, like tall and straight bamboo in the south; The forest is like a green carpet, the grass has no feet, and the huge strawberries compete in the grass, like gems embedded in the green carpet; A series of mountain springs gurgled through the woodland, and leaves and grass reflected the water color into green; Tits are jumping on the branches, fighting for a crisp and loud voice.

After leaving the verdant Yang Shulin, the green in front of me is becoming more and more pale. Several mountains extending from the main peak of Taizi Mountain are covered with fir, pine, birch, oak and other trees, with heavy needles, which are everywhere in full of green. Because of the protection, the new small tree has grown quite tall and straight, showing a heroic and charming style. The air is filled with the fragrance of turpentine and mountain flowers. If it floats away, if it breathes deeply, it will make people feel relaxed and happy. In your heart, it will give birth to a ray of budding, ethereal and ethereal, accompanied by wonderful charm, and your mood can't help but be intoxicated in this vast forest. It's almost time to climb the main peak, but I see a peak as angular as India and Gaogang standing in front. Some fellow travelers call it "Ji Cuigang", some call it "Du Xiufeng", and some even call it "Welcome Peak", saying that it welcomes climbers with a strong and lush color.

Ah, this is the layers of green seen at the foot of Taizi Mountain, how like a constantly advancing lens, from light green, turquoise to light green, and Taizi Mountain is like a crystal spewing out in this green wave. The two peaks stand side by side and silently look at the endless mountains and rivers in the distance in the blue sky.

Upstream, a clear stream flows down from the main peak. Over the height of into the badlands, the green gradually disappears, and the huge stones overlap, showing a completely different scenery from the foothills. This is the style of "clear bright stone" described by predecessors.

The main peak of Taizi Mountain is composed of marble and granite, and the white stone shines in the sun, which is a great achievement of glacier movement. Geologists believe that since the Quaternary, the earth has experienced several violent cold and warm movements, and the world turned cold for the third time 200,000 years ago, and extremely spectacular valley glaciers developed in this area. Later, the climate became warmer and the glaciers melted, which led to the fracture and denudation of rock strata, exposing debris boulders, and the waves were higher than the plant growth zone. In summer, the snow melts, and the rocks divide into white stone landforms. At an altitude of more than 4000 meters, the snow lasts for three seasons: winter, spring and autumn. It is covered with white snow jade, crystal clear. Even in summer, it rains at the foot of the mountain and snows at the top of the mountain. Wang Hong's "Six peaks in the snow are still there" and "Leng Yun is suffocating"; Deng long "caught a glimpse of a white peak" and "suspected that there was snow in Yaonian"; Qi Meixian wrote this scene, "The snow is deep through the ages, and the sunset is single mountain". In addition to the spectacular snow scene, there are clear clouds floating in the sky. Farmers within dozens of kilometers below the mountain regard the weather of Taizi Mountain as a weather forecast. "Taizishan wears a hat and grass grows on the roof", which means that it will rain in a few days, and it is necessary to prevent the roof from leaking; If, after a long rain, "the mountainside of Yunsuo becomes a jade belt, revealing peaks and hills", then the weather will clear up. This snow, this cloud, this fog, full of fantasy, is changing rapidly. How many beautiful colors it adds to Mount Taizi, hazy and mysterious! No wonder the poet wants to praise "cold and snow accumulate over a long period" and "looking at the snow-capped mountains from afar"

Water is the spirit of the mountain, and a clear stream oozes from the gap in the dangerous cliff of Taizi Mountain. Our mountain stream upstream combines the melting of snow, the crying of clouds and the meditation of fog, and there is no sediment flowing. There is no rapid waterfall with a high drop, and the clear water flows down from steep rocks and boulders, forming countless water drops two or three meters high and splashing thousands of pearls lightly, making the hollow valley tinkle. The water is pure and bright, jade is as smooth as crystal and chain. Squatting on the clean stone in the stream and holding up the cold stream, the whole body and mind seem to be receiving a beautiful edification and filtration.

Misty clouds return to the sky, wrapped in silver, and the peak is bright and jade Qing; I often look back at Crystal Mountain, which looks like an eternal green lotus. When we strolled down the mountain in the afterglow of the sunset on Mount Taizi, we felt such a beautiful feeling in our hearts.
