May, Mount Tai travel diary!
At 4 o'clock in the morning on May 17, it was still dark, and Hao Benqi and I set off in the car under the dim moonlight. Before reaching the highway, Ben Qi said he wanted to go to the bathroom. I found a public toilet along the road and took advantage of this time to study the navigation and routes. After Ben Qi came out, I drove him out of the public toilet. At this moment, the first minor accident happened.
I was looking at the navigation and looking ahead. I dodged the telephone pole, but did not avoid the iron rope connected to the pole. Ben Qi said loudly: "Alas, alas~" Before he could When I reacted, the car made a muffled sound, and I didn't know where it hit until it hit me. Ben Qi said: "Didn't you see it?" I said: "I'm looking at the navigation." He said, "Didn't I remind you all the time?" I said, "How did you remind you?" He replied, "Didn't I all say ah ah ah ah?" I was angry and wanted to laugh: "Get out of the car and get out of the car. ! "I know what the heck you are doing. You can't blame others. After all, I was driving carelessly."
Although I feel sorry for the trace of the iron rope on the car, how can I let this affect my mood for traveling. We continued on the road, chatting and bragging all the way. Just three kilometers away from the highway, there was another small accident, which made my mood hurt again.
This section of the road is downhill, and there is a very low bridge in front. When I was about to enter the bridge opening, suddenly a big bird flew from the side, flying very low. I immediately slowed down to let the bird fly by. Perhaps the bird was frightened, so it actually circled at a low altitude and turned in another direction in the air. It was too late for me to stop the car.
From the corner of my eye, I saw the big bird tumbling outwards for weeks after making contact with my car. I was heartbroken beyond words, so I quickly asked Ben Qi to take out the coin and throw it out. I heard from friends who drive big cars that when animals block the road, you should leave money to buy the road, so as to ensure safety. What makes me even more heartbroken is that the bird that was flying in the air just now fell into a pool of blood. It was such a fresh and free life before...
I felt a little discouraged. This bad feeling is like the bad sign before marching to war in ancient times. But I couldn't bear the longing in my heart and drove the car more carefully.
Driving on the highway, the road conditions became smoother, the uneasiness in my heart began to slowly subside, and the sky gradually became brighter. We walked all the way east by north. Even though the sky was blocked by thick and majestic white clouds, the rays of the morning sun that broke out from the clouds made my eyes sting.
The summer sun is like this. It can only allow you to look directly at it for a short ten minutes, and then it enters a state where the light becomes more intense. After putting on my sunglasses, I looked at the sun with some pride, thinking to myself, you can't make me feel uncomfortable. But I was fascinated by the magnificent scenery of the sea of ??clouds in the sky trapping the sun. I yelled for Benqi to record it with his camera. Just like this, along the way, I listened to light rock music, chatted about the mountains with Benqi, and glanced at the scenery in the sky from time to time, and unknowingly arrived at Tai'an City.
Due to the tight schedule, I did enough homework online and planned every minute. After we checked into the hotel, we stopped for a while, each of us had a few sips of water and a few bites of bread, and then rushed to my first destination - Dai Temple.
I parked the car near the hotel, and Benqi and I walked to Dai Temple. Parking here is really convenient. Parking spaces can be seen everywhere in front of street shops, which gave me an unexpected surprise when I was originally worried about having nowhere to park.
The distance from the hotel to the scenic spot is about one thousand meters. I turned on the navigation on my mobile phone, turned the volume to the maximum, and listened to the route announcement. The streets here are quite clean and there is no garbage in plain sight. Benqi and I were free and engaged in street photography at the bus stop.
In order to understand this city in more detail, I chatted a little more with the ticket gate lady at the Dai Temple ticket gate. She spoke her authentic Shandong dialect and my authentic Xuzhou dialect back and forth to "confront each other". In fact, it was not bad. The two cities are close to each other and the words are mostly the same. This actually gave me a sense of security and comfort that I had never experienced when traveling in other cities. intimacy.
The ticket check-in lady was really nice and told us a little bit about the main attractions and historical origins of Xiadai Temple. In her words: This Dai Temple was the place where ancient emperors used to worship the God of Mount Tai and rest. She also told me the safety precautions I need to pay attention to when climbing Mount Tai, which made me thank her profusely. They say Shandong is very hospitable, and it seems so. When Ben Qi and I went in, we heard the eldest lady talking to her colleagues in the back: "These two young men are so nice!" I thought to myself, it's over, I will love Tai'an to death in the future!
After entering the door, an ancient color appeared in front of me, the towering trees, and the palace with a sense of age. If there were not three tourists there taking selfies with their mobile phones, I might really have a sense of The feeling of traveling back to ancient times. I only knew that Dai Temple was good, but I didn’t know what was so good about Dai Temple, so I thought: Children don’t know where spring is, so they just pick up the tourists.
I saw three or two scholar-looking men in front of me holding SLR cameras around a large iron stove, chatting and discussing something. Judging by the way their hands moved up and down, I knew they must be of some caliber. After getting closer, I realized that this was not an iron furnace. It was clearly an iron tower. I felt embarrassed for what I had just thought.
As embarrassing as it is, we had to talk today. I looked at the names of the builders engraved on the tower that impressed me so much, and started chatting with the elders. I asked him where he was from and he asked me what I did. The topic was friendly and cordial, and the atmosphere had the feeling of a conversation between two heads of state...
Several people simultaneously expressed their amazement at the remains of this 500-year-old iron tower, and at the same time they also admired the ancients’ I deeply admire the casting process. But what impresses us are the names engraved on the iron tower. I don’t know what method the ancients used to leave so many words on iron products. Of course, I am not Mr. Sanqianwen. I can’t do something about some things. Just show admiration for your abilities, there is no need to keep chasing them.
What impressed me most during the trip to Dai Temple was the weight of history and the sense of inheritance. Precious cultural relics left over from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty for nearly two thousand years are stored here. They are the carriers and imprints of history. Their existence witnesses the process of the thousand-year historical development of our Chinese civilization.
I entered an exhibition hall displaying Taishan stone carvings from past dynasties. I looked at the historical relics protected in glass. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, they stood quietly like this from the moment they came out. millennium. I don't have any professional appreciation of stone sculptures, but I can always tell whether they are good or bad.
I like to look at details, both in people and in things. I stood in front of a statue of Bodhisattva and looked at her features, body and posture, admiring the stone sculpture in front of me that was hundreds of years older than me. Her eyebrows are clear and distinct, her figure is extremely graceful, and the whole stone sculpture exudes a quiet and kind aura. After staring at it for a long time, it actually made me feel like I was away from the troubles of the world for a moment.
I asked the old man who was looking after some cultural relics if it was allowed to take pictures here, because I wanted to use my camera to record this exquisite work of art. Unexpectedly, the uncle asked me what my major was or what industry I was in. I said I am an ordinary worker. The uncle grunted and suggested to me that although I was allowed to take pictures, it was better not to take pictures.
I was very puzzled. The uncle saw my doubts and said: "I used to do this when I was young. I ran around with a camera for a few years. I took pictures of everything I saw and kept it for later. After taking the things that could be viewed and photographed, I kept them for many years. It wasn’t until one day when I was looking through things that I saw them and realized that I still had this photo. So, I suggest that you don’t have too many things when you travel. Don't worry, just have seen it yourself. There is no need to take pictures, unless you specialize in this." After saying this, the uncle put on his reading glasses again and lowered his head to read the newspaper on the table, as if he had not just talked with me. When I speak, this open-minded attitude is simply like brushing off your clothes and hiding your merits and fame. But the uncle’s summary of this life experience does make sense, so I put away my SLR and concentrated on playing.
Because the uncle was full of wise words, I didn’t leave many photos of Dai Temple in my camera. After visiting Dai Temple, I came out of Zhengyang Gate. Benqi said he was going to buy ice cream, so I walked to the stone gate with the stone lions in front of Zhengyang Gate to wait for him.
When Ben Qi rushed over with an ice cream cone in one hand, he found me pressing my face against the stone pillars on both sides of the stone gate and was very puzzled. I closed my eyes and said: "Shh, don't talk, I am feeling?" He asked me: "What do you feel?" I said: "Maybe Emperor Qianlong may have sat on this stone pier when he was walking." Ben Qi said : "So... you are forcing yourself to feel the Qianlong Emperor's butt with your face?" I said: "I can't be the emperor in this life, and I can't be the emperor in the next life. What's wrong with me feeling the emperor's butt? Just the dragon chair in the Forbidden City. I want to feel it but I can't feel it!"
Unexpectedly, Ben Qi killed the game with one sentence: "I understand the truth, but it's so hot, doesn't your face feel hot?" "Yes, this stone?" It's a little hot. I stood up, grabbed the ice cream and said, "Let's go!"
Actually, when I was lying on my stomach, I was thinking whether Li Bai, Du Fu and others had stood up to this moment before climbing Mount Tai. Where to stand? Is there any overlap in time and space between me and them? Have they ever stood like me on the blue brick road under my feet? After walking for thirty meters, I stopped and looked at the stone gate. I seemed to see a poet in white clothes, with a hairpin on his head and a pen and ink in his hand. He was writing and writing under the door...
We originally planned to start climbing at two o'clock in the afternoon, but considering that it was too late to climb due to the temperature on the mountain, we adjusted the climbing time. After changing into hiking equipment, carrying bags and crutches, we set off from the hotel at 12 noon. We took a car from a Northeastern man who drove a taxi in Shandong. The eldest brother was very talkative and enthusiastic. He told us the climbing route and the options for going down the mountain, and he just made a naughty joke out of nowhere...
Finally we arrived at the Red Gate. Although the sun was getting stronger and stronger, I My body and mind could not contain the excitement. To protect himself from the sun, Ben Qi bought two camouflage sunhats at the foot of the mountain. I put on my hat and sunglasses, and sat there with my hiking stick. Give me an erhu, and I am Abing; give me a flag, and I am a half-immortal.
When he first entered the Red Gate, Benqi was more excited than me. Looking at the steps, he started running. I told him to slow down, conserve his energy, and prepare for the subsequent sprint to the top of the mountain. But it was obvious that he couldn't stop the car, and he screamed and touched the stone to see how pine it was, as if he had taken stimulants. We go up and some go down.
After walking for about ten minutes, the eldest lady came down the mountain with her legs struggling. She asked me with a haggard look how far we were from the bottom of the mountain. I encouraged her and said that we were already at the bottom of the mountain and we could walk for another fifteen minutes at most. She then told me that she climbed the mountain at 11 o'clock in the middle of the night yesterday. After I encouraged her a few words again, we went our separate ways.
There are no special attractions at the foot of the mountain, but the cliff carvings starting from the foot of the mountain made me have high respect for the ancients. As I walked, I sighed with Benqi that this kind of calligraphy cliff carvings is unique to famous mountains in China. The seal script, official script, and cursive script you want to see are all here. After seeing these stone carvings, I can understand why Mount Tai is so famous, because it is a place with a creative humanistic atmosphere, rich history and culture, and unique natural landscapes.
Mountain climbing is boring, boring and time-consuming. I don't know how long I walked until I reached a flat land. There were a few tourists resting there in twos and threes, some coming up and some going down. Those who came down asked how long it would take to reach the bottom of the mountain, and we answered quickly, and a glimmer of surprise flashed in their tired eyes; those who went up asked how long it would take to reach the top of the mountain, and those who came back said that it would only be less than ten years. one part. Climbers also regained their motivation, stopped resting, and continued climbing. Only Ben Qi shouted: "This is less than one-tenth. If you climb up, you will crawl me to death?" I was too lazy to pay attention to him. I put a dry towel on my back, knocked on the crutches and continued walking. .
Walking along the mountain, the scenery becomes more and more unique. Strange pines and rocks grow on both sides, and the cliff carvings also have their own characteristics. The blazing sun in the city just now became gentle in the mountain breeze and mottled tree shadows. And we have already passed nearly an hour. Benqi and I rested once or twice and drank some water. As time went by, I gradually became exhausted, and Benqi's initial enthusiasm for running in a daze disappeared, and he began to complain instead, why did he climb up and how did he get down? How long will it take to reach the top? When he made such depressing remarks, I replied that he had thought too much and that we should go up first and talk later.
After passing Hutian Pavilion and arriving at Huimaling, Benqi and I sat down to rest again. He said, "Do you recognize these three characters?" I looked up and said, "I know. , Go back to Maling." Ben Qi stood up and said, "Let's go!" I asked, "Where are we going?" He said, "Look back! You can't see that the horse has gone back. Are you better than the horse?" "I'll go, this guy backed down so loudly!"
I can't say that I am better than a horse, otherwise he will have to ask me to carry him on his back. I have a plan in mind: "It's okay to go back. Let me ask you something first?" Ben Qi said no. Answer: "What's the matter?" I said, "Did you come in for free?" He said, "Why am I so handsome? I came in for free? I'm the one who bought the ticket!" I chuckled twice and took the bait: "One How much is the ticket?" Ben Qi wondered: "115, are you crazy about mountain climbing? Didn't you find someone to buy it?" I said, "Then if you go down now, won't you lose money... Why are you looking back? Just keep going! You ran again!" He started running up the mountain again like he did at the beginning.
The road from Huimaling to Zhongtianmen is indeed extremely difficult, and more and more people are stopping up and down. They didn't care whether the ground was flat or not. Some people sat down directly on the stone stairs, and some held their hands on the wall and gasped for air. Ben Qi was walking around taking pictures, but I left him far behind.
I can already see the building of Zhongtian Gate, but there are still many stone steps away from Zhongtian Gate. They are getting narrower and more dangerous, so narrow that I can only Can climb up with half a foot. Seeing the Zhongtian Gate seemed to give me hope. I called Benqi and lied to him that I would climb to the top immediately. It worked. After a while, I saw a young figure below happily passing many climbing tourists. .
The Zhongtian Gate was right in front of me, but my legs were getting weaker and weaker. I held my breath, gritted my teeth, shouted the slogan in my heart, and started sprinting. Finally we arrived at Zhongtian Gate, which is a very flat terrain with several small shops selling snacks, drinks and souvenirs. I looked down and found that the sluggish climbers just now began to gain strength. They encouraged each other, smiled, and approached me more and more. Ben Qi also passed several of them along the way and climbed to the Zhongtian Gate.
I am really tired, but also very happy. Benqi asked me how long it would take to reach the top. I told him that we were only halfway there. He looked shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment. Those small shops also sold watermelons and cucumbers. We asked about the price and decisively chose Taishan cucumbers for 10 yuan for three pieces. Ben Qi was very curious as to where the water that kept flowing from the water pipe to wash the cucumbers came from.
I asked the boss and he said this is a mountain spring. I couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of water and asked if this water could be drunk and I would pay for it. The uncle said that the water was too hard for outsiders to drink. I am a little regretful. I have read in countless books how sweet the spring water in the mountains is, but it is a pity that I have not tasted it yet. I ate the cucumber with a little regret. Looking at the people eating cucumbers around me, I suddenly felt happy and wanted to laugh. This is life, this is the purest enjoyment. We who are resting here come from all over the world and from all walks of life, but at this moment we are all eating cucumbers together feebly!
We continued to move forward, and the road became more boring. The road is more dangerous, the trees are more strange, and even the places with stone carvings on the cliffs make me wonder. This is on the edge of a cliff thousands of meters high, and that is on the edge of a cliff thousands of feet tall.
In particular, there is a stone carving called "Wan Zhang Stele", which is located on a slightly flat cliff. Below is an abyss, and above is a nearly vertical mountain of tens of meters. Its walls are as smooth as jade, and there are a few crooked-necked pine trees not far away. There is no place for people to stay. This scene is a perfect match for Taibai's "The Road to Shu is Difficult": "Withered pines hang upside down against the cliff. ! ”
I can’t imagine how much hardship and courage the ancients put into carving these stone carvings. Their security measures are incomparable to modern ones, but even in modern times I don't believe anyone could accomplish such a feat without the help of modern tools. This may be the greatness of the ancients. From the perspective of lifestyle, we are one level superior to them. But from the perspective of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, they are the ones who truly integrated their life and culture into nature. But thinking about it again, if even a majestic and epic building like the Great Wall can be completed, it is not surprising that there are one or two geniuses who left monuments here.
We stopped and walked, and my physical strength was close to the limit. I had to stop and rest every dozen steps. Fortunately, more and more people are going down the mountain, which gives me mental perseverance, because more people are going down the mountain, which means I am getting closer and closer to success. I sang as I walked. Every time I took a step, I sang a word. I sang whatever song came to mind. The line I hummed the most was probably a line from the classic old song "Friends": Friends walk together for life. This is indeed a portrayal of my mood at that time, because when my physical strength reached that point, everyone cheered for each other. You surpassed me, and I surpassed you after a while. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, which was warm and comfortable. .
Finally I saw Nantianmen. As before, Benqi was left behind me again, but I looked at Nantianmen right in front of me. I couldn’t stop and wait for him. I couldn’t wait to feel success. of joy. I looked at my legs that were shaking involuntarily and said to them silently: Come on, brother, we are almost there! I lowered my head and just looked at the steps. I didn't care how close or far away the Nantian Gate was from me, I just kept my head down and climbed up. When I really couldn't bear the fatigue, I rested against the mountain for a few seconds, and then hummed the tune of "Friends" and walked up. When I reached the last hundred or so steps, my vision began to turn black. The feeling of hunger in my stomach made me tremble all over. I felt like I might faint at any time.
I sat down on a stone step at Nantianmen and waited for Ben Qi. Then I roughly took out the bread and Snickers bars I had prepared and ate them savagely. There was a foreigner sitting opposite me who had a weird expression when he saw my hungry wolf look. In order to show my traditional Chinese virtue of hospitality, I said to this friend: "Hi! Have fun! (Where are you from?)" Maybe my English is really bad, and this foreigner guy was shaken. He shook his head and got up and walked away. After eating the bread and Snickers, I started to drink a lot of water again, and the water flowed down the corners of my mouth and onto my neck. I know this is bad for my stomach, but I really can't stand it.
Ben Qi finally came. I lay sprawled on the ground, not caring about my image at all. I felt that the stones under my back were softer than a latex mattress. My back was so eager for a bed. I pointed to the schoolbag next to me and asked Benqi to get water and bread. Benqi sat on the steps and recorded my embarrassed appearance on his mobile phone. I no longer had the strength to stop him.
After a while, a tour group came. The tour guide said that it was still 1,500 meters away from Jade Emperor Summit. As soon as I said this, I sighed, sat up and packed my schoolbag. Benqi asked me: "Anything else? Didn't you reach the end of your story?" I was too lazy to explain to him, so I said without raising my head: "Think about your 115 yuan." After hearing this, Benqi grabbed his schoolbag. , carrying it on his shoulders: "Let's go!"
The road behind the gate that day was really beautiful and magical. In Ben Qi's words: "Oh my goodness, it's so beautiful!" I asked He asked: "Is this worth the ticket price?" He replied: "It is, why isn't it worth it? I can die here." I looked at him with disdain: "No, I don't want to carry you down. "However, to be honest, I also have the urge to bury myself here.
After passing Tianjie, there is a viewing platform with an extremely wide view. "I will be at the top of the mountain and see all the small mountains at a glance!" I stood on the edge of the stage and looked at the mountains around me that were much shorter than me, and then I truly realized that what Du Fu said in his poem was true! This scene is too magnificent. The field of vision here is extremely broad. The mountains on the left and right are green and green, stretching downwards. There is a dense cloud of white clouds between the mountain tops, adding a touch of immortality to the green eyes. I thought it was because these hills were short, but when I looked into the distance I realized that I was walking too high!
I looked at the bustling city in the distance. It seemed so insignificant at this moment, as if I could crush it with one foot. Ben Qi was stunned at the observation deck on Tianjie. He kept smacking his lips. It was really funny to see him looking like he had never seen the world, but he couldn't be blamed for it. After all, I had never seen this battle before. I was stunned... The wind on the top of the mountain was very strong, and the short-sleeved T-shirt I was wearing was not enough to withstand the temperature on the top of the mountain, so we could only keep climbing without stopping for too long.
Benqi and I continued to move forward. Begonia flowers were planted on both sides of the mountain. The higher we went up, the more blooming the begonia flowers were. Slowly, I felt a little cold on my body and my vision began to become blurry. It turned out that the clouds in the distance were drifting over.
I looked back and saw that this scene was only created by nature! The mountain road is hidden in the white clouds, and the begonia flowers all over the mountain together with the white clouds draw a picture of a fairyland. And I am reaching out in this scene to catch the strands of white silk flying past my eyes. At the foot of the mountain The scenery is looming through the soft white clouds. This kind of beautiful and charming scenery with misty clouds and raised hands in the sky is really rare in the world. This kind of enjoyment is not just a moment of joy. This is what I imagined the wonderland to look like. This scene will always be remembered in my mind. Whenever I mention Shitai Mountain or someone mentions it to me, this painting is absolutely unique. It will pop into my mind for the first time. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the world, I would rather sleep here forever. At this moment, I can probably understand the emotional feeling of Wang Wei when he wrote: "The king and his grandson can stay here."
Benqi and I were a little lucky that we saw two different natural landscapes at the same time. When we first arrived, the clouds had not yet drifted over, so what we saw was a magnificent natural landscape; when the clouds drifted over, we saw another kind of beautiful scenery shrouded in fairy mist. It was as if this scenery had some kind of magic, and the white clouds were really fairy-like, filling my whole body with energy. Benqi and I seemed to come to life again and started running towards our final destination.
Finally arrived at Jade Emperor Summit. I seemed to have accomplished a feat. My heart was full of pride. My spiritual world seemed to have been sublimated at this moment. My mind seemed to be able to tolerate everything at this moment. I saw Everything is beautiful. The woman who gets her hair cut in the wind on the top of the mountain is beautiful; the man who laughs wildly on the top of the mountain is beautiful; even the trash can next to it looks much cuter to me. The wind on the mountain was really too strong and the temperature was too low. We didn’t prepare any clothes to keep out the cold, so we stopped for a while and hurried down the mountain.
Ben Qi going down the mountain and Ben Qi going up the mountain are in completely different states. I was waiting for him when I was going up the mountain, and he was waiting for me when I was going down the mountain. He jumped down like an antelope, but in trying to catch up with him, I accidentally injured the ligaments on the back of my knee, so I could only slow down my movements a little. This makes me have to sigh, youth is good! When we went down the mountain, we only went down to Zhongtianmen, and then we spent 30 yuan to take a bus to Tianwai Village at the foot of the mountain.
When we returned to the hotel, it was already 8pm. Benqi was too tired to eat anything, while I ate one more bucket of instant noodles than usual. We rested one night and set off back to Xu early the next morning.
