Wugongshan people

The heart is made by the environment, and the environment is born by the heart. What kind of mood, you can see what kind of scenery.

Shu Renqing of Wugong Mountain

Wugong Mountain, one of the famous mountains in the south of the Yangtze River, is 19 18 meters above sea level, with alpine meadows and strange pines and rocks, and has the reputation of "grassland in the clouds and outdoor paradise". Its reputation comes from: spring and summer green, autumn gold and winter white, as well as the wonders of the sea of clouds, beautiful scenery, unique astronomical phenomena and various natural forms in different seasons and at different times.

The magic of Wugong Mountain lies in its change, which makes people want to go after going!

During my work in Pingxiang, I'm afraid I have climbed Wugong Mountain more than 10 times since 2003. My feelings and experiences are different every time. I have felt complaints, pains, disappointments, joys, surprises, accidents and other emotions.

In 2003, I climbed Wugong Mountain for the first time in an afternoon. At that time, there was no cableway to climb mountains. I climbed up the ancient mountain roads and ridges step by step and went straight up and down nearly 4000 steps. As we approached Jinding, the sun was about to set. Exhausted, we tried to cut corners and ended up on the "slope of despair". If it weren't for a creeping weed more than one meter high, it would become a 45-degree slope here. Lao Zhang of the former company was so tired that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't walk at all. Finally, four men carried him up the hill. The next day, the first sentence I saw was: "Yesterday, my life was almost gone! Alas, the' martial arts' on Wugong Mountain has been abolished, and I will never go to Wugong Mountain again in my life. " That flustered look still reminds me of some people who are in distress situation.

In 2004, after the college entrance examination, my son went to Pingxiang to play, and I recommended him to climb Wugong Mountain. I don't know whether he did well in the college entrance examination or was young and tired. Accompanied by a young man in the village, he went straight to Jinding along the old road, took a foggy photo with a stone tablet, and went to the playground of Matian Middle School at the foot of the mountain to play basketball with young people of the same age after lunch. I asked him, "What about Wugong Mountain?" He said, "It's gray. I don't see anything!" " "

In the summer vacation of 2008, I took my son to visit Wugong Mountain again. The overwhelming sea of clouds surged in, the sunset slowly sank, and the warm sunset and the mountain-watching us were reluctant to part. The colorful and charming sunset will make you feel that it is a kind of care for human beings and those who love nature.

A heavy snow at the end of 20 10 attracted us. Facing the flying snow like goose feathers, we climbed the mountain in the dark with flashlights, and survived the night with one foot deep and one foot shallow and-0/0, and two thick quilts could not keep people warm. In the end, what everyone got in return was that the clouds opened at sunrise and the colorful glow dawned.

In 20 16, five years after I left Pingxiang, I went to teach in yuechi county at the foot of the mountain, and I couldn't help but want to see the sea of clouds on the mountain. People in the same trade said doubtfully, "Can you go up this day?" . I said, "Go up and see your luck!" Unexpectedly, it was drizzling at the foot of the mountain, but the temple halfway up the mountain was a vast sea of clouds and sunny. Do you find it strange?

The charm of Wugong Mountain is also reflected in the persistence and persistence of Wugong Mountain people and their love for Wugong Mountain.

Going to Wugong Mountain in June this year was purely by fate. I was originally invited to visit Pingxiang Economic Development Zone. Looks like there's still time. Now that I'm in Pingxiang, I'm going to visit Wugong Mountain. I called my friend Ping Chen, who is still working in Wugongshan Management Committee, respectively, and they agreed to go together without saying anything.

Jianping told me that since he picked up the camera and fell in love with photography, he has taken Wugong Mountain as the subject of shooting, and has been up and down Wugong Mountain countless times. No matter rain or shine, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, he loves to shoot Wugong Mountain. Sometimes he will go up the mountain again and again from late spring to early summer, even if he is confused or drowned. He likes to comfort everyone and himself with this sentence. When he has time, he will go up the mountain to keep watch. He said, "Really, God will open his eyes." . It is with this "tenacity" that he took so many beautiful photos that touched the soul and reproduced the soul of Wugong Mountain in front of magic, magic and changefulness.

If it weren't for this energy, if it weren't for this love for Wugong Mountain, there might not be a presentation of Wugong Mountain Scenery Photography Collection full of true feelings. It is said that he took his special photo exhibition of Wugong Mountain many times and went to the school to promote the amateur of Wugong Mountain. He has almost become a famous and veritable amateur propagandist of Wugongshan, saying that he is an out-and-out "Wugongshan", and I'm afraid he doesn't mind himself.

It was cloudy at the foot of the mountain at first, but it was foggy when I took the cableway to Zhong 'an. Chen led us along the plank road in the fog, and the visibility was less than 100 meters. I walked forward step by step and asked, "Liang Guang, how many steps are there in this section?" He said: "About two thousand steps, the height difference is about 200 meters. You have to bow your head, walk slowly and move at a constant speed so that you won't be very tired. " He is familiar with it and takes pains to remind it.

Began to climb "Hero Slope" on foot.

There is a local proverb, "Bravo slope, Bravo slope, not Bravo sad slope." This is the most difficult, arduous and endurance-testing part of hiking. A 60-year-old man, coupled with drizzle, is a great test in both physical strength and endurance. I gritted my teeth and moved to the "hanging horse post" step by step. I gasped and felt a little breathless. After all, time waits for no one!

It seems easy to look back at Chen. In my opinion, in addition to his youth, his mountaineering skills and excellent endurance, and his practice several times a week are probably his capital.

Chen, of medium build, is simple, enthusiastic and capable, which is the outstanding impression I have known him for many years. He has been working in this remote mountain village since 1999, for decades or twenty years. I asked, "How many times have you climbed Wugong Mountain?" He said, "About 30 times a year on average! Sometimes it goes up and down twice a day No way, my post is here! " Yes, as the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Wugong Mountain Scenic Area, where is the post? There is no doubt that it should be in the scenic spot. Indeed, this time he went up the mountain with us, and I found that he met porters, sedan chairs and some engineering builders. They all called his name affectionately, greeted him warmly or talked enthusiastically. This is what I saw with my own eyes: a fusion relationship between people and mountains, managers, builders and mountain people.

I asked Liang Guang: "As a Wugongshan who has worked in Wugongshan for 20 years, what is your biggest feeling?" He said: "The biggest feeling is to participate in and witness the great changes that have taken place in Wugong Mountain in recent years. From a remote mountain town, it will soon be built into a national 5A-level scenic spot and become the best destination for outdoor sports lovers all over the country. In particular, the income of Wugongshan people has greatly increased. Some people earn almost hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and live in villas ... This is the most gratifying persistence and silent dedication. "

It was evening when we reached Guanyin at an altitude of 1600 meters. This is the outdoor camp of Wugong Mountain meadow starry sky. Looking forward to shooting the sunset glow, which was completely dispersed by the dense fog outside.

During the dinner, I chatted with Shangguan, the camp owner. Shangguan is dark-skinned, short, flat-headed and practical. "Starry Outdoor Camp" was introduced by Wugongshan Management Committee in March 20 13. I stayed here for five years for this project. At present, the first phase has been completed, with more than 1 1,000 tents and wooden platforms with overhead landscape tents-you can watch the sunrise and sunset and the wonders of the sea of clouds. But in recent years, I have been engaged in projects on Wugong Mountain, which can be said to be physically and mentally exhausted! "He said sincerely and helplessly.

I asked, "Why?"

Shangguan said: "This is nothing more than the difficulty of construction. According to my experience, I am afraid there are three difficulties. First, it is difficult to transport materials; Wugong Mountain has a high altitude, so it can't destroy vegetation to make way for transportation. You can only carry camels on your shoulders, and your salary is high. Because it takes a long time, there are not many workers who are really willing to do such hard work. Second, the construction is difficult; Mountain roads are often built on cliffs, with high risks and fragile ecology, and precious tree species need to be protected. The narrow construction site is extremely inconvenient and its difficulty is unimaginable. Third, the construction period is difficult to control; The climate on the mountain is unpredictable, sometimes it is windy and foggy, and sometimes it rains cats and dogs. The real construction time is only four to five months a year. From spring to early summer, it is humid and foggy. Sometimes it rains 2 1 month, and the remaining 9 days are cloudy and barely constructed. In autumn and winter, the temperature on the mountain at 5438+00 in June is only about 10, accompanied by strong winds from time to time, and sometimes inexplicable "strange winds" will blow, which makes the construction difficult and the construction period difficult to guarantee. So in the next few years, I rarely went back to Nanchang and devoted myself to this project. It is no exaggeration to say that all the hard work in my life has been tasted here. "

Also, whether it is the cableway born in the air or the artificial plank road on the cliff, there are many communication projects on Wugong Mountain, all of which are condensed with the sweat and dedication of countless construction workers.

The next day, I got up at five in the morning and waited outside the tent. Everyone hopes that Wugong Mountain can give me a surprise. Walking out of the tent, the sky is still gloomy and the mountains are still shrouded in clouds. Although the east is a fish-belly grey, it is covered with thick clouds. I began to give up hope and went into the tent to brush my teeth and freshen up. After a while, fellow travelers shouted outside the tent, "Come out quickly, something has changed!" " "Out of the tent, I saw that the clouds in the east began to thin, and an upward force slowly pushed away the fog that covered the mountain, and the green hills and black pine forests were faintly visible. Thousands of clouds suddenly appeared in front of us. We quickly picked up the camera, chose the best position and pressed the shutter frequently, for fear that this magnificent cloud and fairyland-like beauty would disappear. I walked from one hill to another, chose different seats, and recorded this wonderful picture in both photo and video modes. Unfortunately, God only gave us half an hour, just like a word "window period" that is often mentioned at present. A gust of wind blew and slowly returned to the foggy appearance.

The charm of Wugong Mountain lies in different people, different moods and different scenery.

Following the topic of "window period", several people began to chat. I asked, "Mountains are the same mountains and meadows, the same meadows and the same sky. Some people are overjoyed to see the sunrise and sunset, and some people can only look at the flowers in the fog and regret it. " Some people seem to reach for the clouds overhead and are very excited, shouting' I will come again next time'! Some people complained that they were tanned or peeled by ultraviolet rays because they were too close to the sun, and vowed' never to come again'! Some people were still raining when they first went up. After a while, a gust of wind blew through the clouds and rolled around, and wonders appeared. Some people live under a cloud for a few days and feel lost without seeing God's eyes. Why do different people come up with different landscapes and have different experiences and feelings? "

Liang Guang replied, "In my opinion, it depends not only on the season and time, but also on people. Fantastic scenery is not for everyone to see, depending on the' window period' (luck). " "What do you mean?" I asked. He said: "Because different people will have different luck, different luck will meet different clouds, and different clouds will bring different scenery."

Jianping added: "I think it depends on everyone's cultivation and interest." "How do you explain this?" I asked in confusion. He said: "Different seasons, different time periods and different moods have different experiences and feelings about mountaineering. For example, before the development of Wugong Mountain, you would think it was remote, backward and meaningless. You turn a blind eye to the rice wine brewed with mountain spring water and the simplicity of the mountain people. Today, you will feel that it is a kind of beauty. You will come here for a few days, go back to the countryside, and look for the nostalgia of the past. In those days, when you climbed to Jinding on foot from the foot of Wanlong Mountain along the thousands of paths that herbalists walked in those days, you would feel backache and leg pain and exhaustion, instead of the pleasure and excitement brought by travelers carrying heavy bags and climbing stairs today. On the other hand, you will feel comfortable on the cableway, but it is much more boring. Therefore, the heart is created by the environment, and the environment is born of the heart. What kind of mood, you can see what kind of scenery. People with different attainments have different moods, feelings and experiences. "

In this way of thinking, I seem to begin to understand that opportunities will not come to everyone for no reason, but to those who are firm, persistent, cherish life and love nature-people with good character. It is these people who have found the motivation to climb the mountain again and move forward in every surprise, every regret, every expectation and every persistence.

There is a saying: people with good character are not too bad luck. Yes!
