Travel notes of Tianmu Mountain

The famous Tianmu Mountain began with the cultural history of the Diamond Sutra. It is said that Prince Zhaoming of Nanliang couldn't understand the fact that he buried his mother, and he lived in seclusion in Tianmu Mountain and practiced Buddhism. Later, due to overwork, I became blind. I took a stone pool and washed my eyes. My eyes can see again. After a long time, Tianmu Mountain has become the background of the legend in my mind, which is a bit vague.

I lived in Hangzhou for several years, during which a friend invited me to visit Tianmu Mountain, but I never made it. The reason is that the work is tedious and there is no leisure. In fact, the first reason is that I am not interested. As the saying goes, the mountain is not high, and the gods have spirits. There are many "immortals" in the name of famous mountains. Mount Tai is famous for its respect, Huangshan is famous for its strange pines and rocks, Lushan is famous for its wonders, and Wutai Mountain is famous for its Buddhism. Tianmu Mountain is not the second highest in Zhejiang, and the wonders are not as good as Lushan Mountain. Although there are rare turquoise smells in Huangshan Mountain and cultural relics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to be found, the world-famous ones are always inferior.

The creative department of the company organized this trip and provided two plans: one is Taihu Lake in Suzhou and the other is a two-day tour of Tianmu Mountain for everyone to vote on. I voted for Suzhou Taihu Lake without thinking, and the final result was the second plan. Everyone thinks that going out on weekends is for relaxation, and Hangzhou is close to Tianmu Mountain, so it won't be very tired. I only have a minority who is subordinate to the majority, but I always feel that Tianmu Mountain has taken advantage of this trip.

On Saturday, the weather was fine. We set off from Hangzhou and arrive at the West Tianmu Mountain Scenic Area in about an hour. In the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, there are colorful leaves all over the mountain, but it is not surprising. If it is more gorgeous than autumn leaves, the scenery of Jiuxi Tobacco Tree in Hangzhou may be more beautiful. There are eye-catching billboards at the entrance of the scenic spot, such as "Natural Botanical Garden" and "Big Tree Flower 8009 16 Covering Kyushu", and there are also many advertisements similar to "Big Tree Flower Kingdom" along the way, just passing by, unmoved, as long as people with a little tourism experience are used to such high, large and comprehensive publicity. A peasant woman received us and will stay at her house. When I learned that she would be our tour guide, my heart sank: OK?

Our residence is called "cash cow", which is located at the waist of Tianmu Mountain. Just entering the door, everyone was amused by it: "It's so rustic." The peasant woman told us that because there was a cash cow in front of the door, it was named the cash cow restaurant. After that, everyone chooses their own rooms. Fortunately, my room is located on the second floor facing south and has an extra-wide balcony. It suddenly occurred to me that Xu Zhimo said in Notes on Tianmu Mountain: "Living on the mountain is a blessing, and the buildings living on the mountain are even more repaired." For this, I can't help but rejoice. As soon as I put my luggage away, I couldn't wait to come to the balcony. Looking down, rows of small buildings are dotted with lush forests, which has the taste of Zurich town.

After having a short rest after lunch at the "cash cow", I set off for the deep mountain scenic spot. Singing and laughing all the way, the peasant woman said to sing for us and asked what song she wanted to listen to. Some colleagues really want to listen to music, while others find it funny. "Will Jay Chou nunchakus meet?" "Come to a folk song." The peasant woman said shyly, "Other folk songs won't. I will sing Third Sister Liu. " "I'm not a fairy, nor a god. I am a woodcutter in the mountains ... because I love singing naturally, it is difficult to settle down in all directions. " She really sang, and the sweet song resounded through Shan Ye. We listened to songs while walking and looked at the scenery along the way. Occasionally, she would stop to introduce the name of the tree. If you ask the subject of the tree and other professional questions, she won't avoid you. "Shrub, right?" Give you a noncommittal answer, you seldom delve into it. The winding mountain road is paved with wooden blocks, and walking on it has the feeling of crossing the river. With the winding of the mountain, accompanied by the footsteps climbing up the stairs and the ups and downs of folk songs and rhymes. At a scenic spot called Huafeng, everyone stops for a short time, or enjoys the scenery, or takes photos as a souvenir, or listens to the peasant woman telling the humanistic story behind the scenic spot. It is said that Xu Beihong once painted here, hence the name. Someone deliberately teased and asked, "Who is Xu Beihong?" She doesn't want to say anything else, so she will explain it to you seriously. You know, many of us are art students. Seeing her serious appearance, we all laughed out of breath. When she saw that everyone was so happy, she laughed with Han Han.

All the way back from Huafeng, we followed a path to the right in the valley and came to the "upside-down lotus" not far away. "This is the' upside down lotus'." I looked in the direction of the peasant woman's finger and saw a boulder lying empty, like a tourist from all corners of the country, above the mountain peak. The peak stone is more than tens of feet. If the lotus petals are transparent, like knives and axes, they stand tall, hence the name "upside down lotus". On the left side of the upside-down lotus, a pavilion was built out of thin air, with four pavilions inside. Tourists can take a nap here when they are tired, or they can invite friends to talk about romantic things. On the right side of the "upside-down lotus" is the "first sight of the sky". Looking down, I saw a straight mountain road bottomless and daunting. "At first glance, there will be more scenery. Pay attention to your steps when going downhill, don't look at the scenery when walking, and don't walk when looking at the scenery. " The peasant woman seems to have noticed our timidity and told us that there are more scenery behind. Only in this way can we appreciate the scenery behind us, and at the same time don't underestimate the hardships and risks at our feet because of the distant scenery. I began to admire her wisdom, but I also secretly blamed myself for judging people by their appearances and my poor "petty bourgeoisie consciousness." Everyone walked down the slope holding the stone, but they didn't dare to have any interest, so that some people shouted at the bottom after walking the "first sight" and marveled: It's true that one person can keep it, and ten thousand people can't force it.

Walking along the "line of sight" to the valley, I suddenly saw that the peak stone was green and slender, like a thirsty tiger rushing, like a ghost standing, but there were many different trees on the stone, with roots outside the stone and ancient trees towering. The peasant woman told us that this is the "Four Peaks". In addition to feeling the wonder of nature, we should continue on our way. We bypassed a few rocks and climbed steep slopes to "four generations under one roof". What comes to my face is golden everywhere, and autumn is infinitely filled in the air, which makes everyone excited and the exhaustion of climbing is swept away. "Four generations under one roof" is a beautiful ethical prospect for China people's children and grandchildren to live in harmony. It is named "four generations under one roof" because there are many ancient trees born from the same root here, just like the children and grandchildren of a family get together, and the young ones have gone through hundreds of years. "Four generations living under one roof" is only superficial, and we are surprised to hear it. Looking at the railing, there are five peaks in the forest, driving clouds, and there are thousands of towering ancient trees in the mountains. The diameter is as big as a bucket, blocking the sun. The mountain road we walked just now is also quiet in the depths of dusk, and there is quite an artistic conception of "how can I tell the difference between people in this mountain and the clouds?" Therefore, the predecessors left a quatrain of "Tianmei Tree is ten miles deep". In contrast, I think the idea that there is no "immortality" in Tianmu Mountain is ridiculous.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Tree King. Seeing the true face of the old tree king, I only heard a "wow" from everyone. There may be no other words to express the excitement at this time except surprise. It is "the weather in autumn is susen, and the dead branches thunder." Legend has it that the old tree king has been dead for more than 2000 years and hundreds of years. The "Tree King" was sealed by Emperor Qianlong. It is said that the bark of the Tree King can cure diseases. For years, its bark was used as a medicine, and it died. Now it stands there like a stubborn old man with a story of vicissitudes on his face. Confucius said that seventy people go their own way. I think trees have lived for thousands of years and should be arbitrary. I forgot both. Even so, I still feel sorry and sad. Colleagues took photos hand in hand around the old tree, surrounded by only five or six people. Careful people found that new branches had grown between the trunk of the old tree king. The farmer said that the seeds of other trees fell on the trunk of the old tree king and grew into new trees. I think it's also a dead wood meets spring, a new life goes on, and the feeling of regret is a little better.

Not far from the tree king, it is the "old mountain building museum". Kaishan old temple, also known as authentic lion temple, was built in Yuan Dynasty. When the temple flourished, monks from Korea, Mongolia, Tianzhu and other countries came here to find their ancestors to worship. The temple was destroyed by fire, and now the title "Opening the Old Temple" is written by Ye. Surprisingly, Mr. Hu Shi's famous saying, "If you have something to say, the monk will ring the bell one day." Actually, it's written here "From here is the top of the fairy, but due to the rush of time, we can't climb to the top of the mountain for the night. If you are not tired, continue to climb the mountain and go down at 5 o'clock on time. Everyone can grasp the time. If we are tired, we can rest in Laoshan Hall. " The peasant woman said. We are all worried, so we have been asking her to explain the ins and outs of Xianrending to us. Xianrending is the top of West Tianmu Mountain, with an altitude of 1.506 meters. According to legend, there was a fairy who sawed a board and built a bridge here, so it was named Xianrending. The top of the mountain is an excellent place to see the sunrise and the sea of clouds. When the weather is fine, you can also enjoy the scenery of Qiantang River and Huangshan Mountain. There is a Tianchi lake on the top of the mountain, which does not dry up all year round. It is far away from Longchi Lake at the peak of East Tianmu Mountain and is known as the Eye of the Sky. The name of Tianmu Mountain also came from this, and Prince Zhaoming also washed his eyes here to see him again.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we got off the "cash cow" and got on the bus and went down the mountain. We saw the horizon was red, drunk, and Lin Qiu was dyed red all over until he disappeared into the twilight. Spending the night in Tianmu Mountain, of course, lacks the tranquility and leisure of Zhimo listening to the bell of the bell tower, but there is no lack of fun in the mountain. The barbecue in the evening is arranged in the itinerary. While we were eating, the peasant woman began to prepare bonfires and charcoal. After the training, we threw ourselves into the barbecue. Everyone strung up the rich food with shovels and put it on the barbecue net. Some people add spices, some people add charcoal, and of course some lazy people just add their mouths. The night in the mountains is chilly, and occasionally a few birds fly by. However, we didn't notice the chill at night and the fright of birds. We immersed ourselves in enjoying the delicious barbecue, shouted "Shuang" when we had fun, and then laughed. ...

The next day, we went down the mountain. The peasant woman said that she would send us cash cow seeds, and also introduced the medicinal use of the seeds. We didn't go against her wishes, and each person took one or two, although we all knew that the original intention was not here, just to show our affection and keep it as a souvenir. Before leaving, she insisted on sending us down the mountain, and warmly invited us to come again next time along the way, saying that Tianmu Mountain would be more fun in summer. We also promise to live in a cash cow next time. It's a long road in Xiu Yuan, so we say you should go back and watch her leave and disappear into the mountains.

? When I get on the bus back to Hangzhou and look out of the window, there is always an emotion flowing in my heart. If you think about it. The towering ancient trees in Tianmu Mountain, like the owners here, wait for the four seasons to cycle, ignoring the struggle for fame and fortune, and judge who is the only one among the five mountains and who is the first in the mountain. Perhaps these can only be seen through by the old people who have gone through the vicissitudes of life. Who says "old" is not a realm? From time to time, the bell of the ancient temple came from my ear, and I heard the soft sound of the Buddha, which was long and subtle. Perhaps fate arranged our meeting with Tianmu Mountain.
