Chen: Climb Leigong Mountain.

Author | Chen

In the mountains five kilometers northwest of Mianxian County, looking up, you can see a mountain peak shaped like a chair back, surrounded by peaks, emitting a rainbow-like momentum, pointing to the sky. Here, fog rises from the clouds, which is often reflected by clear mist. In winter, the snow shines silvery white. This is Leigong Mountain.

Early in the morning, I drove away from the county seat and set out for Leigong Mountain. After I came to the foot of the mountain along the village-to-village highway, there was a simple highway to reach the top of the mountain. At a corner, a rugged mountain road appeared in front of me, and I resolutely decided to abandon the car and climb up. Climb up step by step along this steep and narrow long road, with lush trees and flowers. The rape blossoms in Shan Ye have begun to reveal the fragrance of spring, which is refreshing and gives birth to a feeling of being integrated into nature. When I came to the top of the mountain, a flat and continuous dam suddenly appeared in front of me, and three new halls were arranged in a zigzag pattern. The hall is grand, solemn and elegant. At this time, some enthusiastic people brought hot water and melons to the mountain spring, and they also told me the story of Leigong Mountain.

Leigong Mountain is also known as Leifeng Mountain and Liangqingshan Mountain. The main peak of Leigong Mountain is stacked three times, stretching for 8 kilometers from east to west. There is a folk proverb called "there is Yuan Yuejing on the mountain, and there is thunder in it". Because the main peak is like a cockscomb, it is rumored that Raytheon has a cockscomb, so it is the name of the mountain.

In the New Records of Mianxian County in Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, the scene of Leigong Mountain is described as follows: "At the beginning of June, the maids in the city fought for the summer, and on the 19th, it rained cats and dogs, which was called washing Shan Yu." It can also be seen from the remains of ancient books that as early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Leigong Mountain was already famous far and near, and people flocked to climb the Range Rover and lingered.

A small dam has an ancient and magical historical memory, which makes me unconsciously think about various topics about heaven and earth, past and future. Looking up from here, a lonely peak stands proudly, the mountain is magnificent, and pavilions are looming among lush branches and leaves, full of quiet and magical power. With reverence and awe, I continued to walk up the path between the cliff and the rock, and then I came to the peak at an altitude of 1277 meters, where Yue Yuanguan was. Looking around, this place is unique and mysterious, backed by steep cliffs and facing deep valleys. The extreme environment has created the ultimate beauty of life, and also created Zhong Ling, a mysterious land proud of its mountains. Surrounded by bamboo trees, graceful pines and cypresses, rooted in broken rocks, stand out from the towering peaks and hang alone in the sky. Although they have experienced storms, they have publicized their persistence and perseverance in life and enjoyed high hopes. Every stone here is so sacred, every ray of air here is so pure, and every tree here is so spiritual.

In Leigong Mountain in early spring, there is a little drizzle in the cold wind. Overlooking this land where we live together day and night, the Qinling Mountains in the north are vast, while the valley scenery in the south is suddenly compressed. Countless ridges extend from the foot to Pingchuan, which contains the majestic temperament of driving mountains and seas; The blue mountain air rushes back and forth in the ravine, which embodies the irresistible force of the metaplasia of all things; The magnificent Han river winds eastward, showing the great momentum of creation; Cities and villages and green mountains and green waters complement each other and are shrouded in the hazy spring scenery, which conjures up a graceful charm. The familiar scenes have changed, bringing together the aura and grace of heaven and earth. It is so quiet, broad and magnificent, as if it is a paradise with beautiful scenery, which brings me unparalleled visual shock and can't help but enjoy the wonderful scenery of the dangerous peak safely.

I stood quietly on this precipice, immersed in the extreme feeling of standing between heaven and earth, talking to heaven, talking to my heart, talking to myself, and the wind and rain gently swept my cheeks. In this open and bright land without dust, the beauty of smoke and clouds is integrated with the vitality of heaven and earth, supporting a spacious and bright mind, which is beyond the reach of a skilled craftsman.

In China people's mind, Raytheon is a god who punishes evil and promotes good, and has entrusted the working people with a beautiful vision of avoiding disasters and praying for blessings. Just during the Cultural Revolution in the last century, with the burning of the concept of the full moon, the once prosperous scene no longer existed, and Leigong Mountain gradually faded out of people's sight, hiding in the corner of the suburbs, mysterious and isolated.

No matter what these historical truths are, the pursuit and yearning for beautiful things will always make people unable to stop trekking. Until today, mountains and rivers have won, which is not the past. Whether you look at it or not, Leigong Mountain is still there, neither sad nor happy. However, the towns in front of us have become as prosperous as the cities. More and more people come here to listen to the wind and birds, watch the sunrise and sunset, collect scenery and write about love. Some people even restored the buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and used the natural landscape for reference to present this natural and cultural relic to future generations.

There is no mountain higher than man in the world. In fact, in everyone's heart, there is a mountain peak and a landscape, but some people are too focused to walk.
