Scenic spots near Taimu Mountain

Tu'er Ridge, Dayushan Island, Ningde No. 1 Flag Mountain, Yangjia Creek, Yuanyang Creek, Baishuiyang, Carp Creek, Zhiti Mountain, Niulangang, Little Egret, everyone must be familiar with Li Bai's " "Sleepwalking in Tianmu's Song and Leaving Farewell" is familiar to all of us, and it has been taught to us since childhood: Li Bai sleepwalked to Tianmu Mountain in Shan County (today's Xinchang, Zhejiang), because the inspiration for "Tianmu's Song" came from Xie Lingyun's "Go to Shan Zhongsu in the dark, and ascend to heaven tomorrow." "Lao Cen", the Chicheng, Tiantai, Jinghu, Yanxi mentioned in the poem happened to be nearby, etc. As a result, the local government renamed Tianmu Cen Tianmu Mountain, and bundled it with Wozhou Lake (Changmao Reservoir) and Wozhou Mountain into a provincial-level scenic spot. However, tourists are quite disappointed after going there, because the altitude of Tianmu Mountain is only 818 meters, and there are many mountains higher than it in the surrounding area. It can neither be said to be the "Five Mountains", nor can it be imagined that Li Bai once praised "Hua Hua" in his poem. How could Tiantai Mountain, which is as high as a hundred mountains, surrender to it? Moreover, many of the beautiful scenery in "Tian Mu Yin" are hard to find here. Therefore, it is generally believed that the Tianmu Mountain in the poet's mind is purely fictional.

We know that Li Bai did not visit Tianmu Mountain, and we can even speculate that before "Tianmu Yin", there was no Tianmu Mountain in Shan County. Tianmu Mountain as a place name was first seen in the "Hou Wu Lu Geography" quoted in "Taiping Huanyu Ji Yue": "There is Tianmu Mountain in Shan County", but this book was compiled during the Taiping Xingguo period of the Song Dynasty 200 years after Li Bai's death. Is it true? It is still unknown where descendants relied on ancient times; Xie Lingyun only said that he passed Tianmucen when he climbed to Haiqiao, and did not use more pen and ink to describe the landscape like his other landscape poems; Yue people who were contemporaries of Li Bai, such as He Zhizhang and Wu Yun There is no mention of Tianmu Mountain in the works left by others, not even the word "Grandma" appears. Moreover, Li Bai visited Kuaiji many times, visited Yanzhong, and climbed to the rooftop. Xinchang Tianmu Mountain was right in front of him. If this was what he was referring to in his dream, how could he pass by Li Bai with his character of "never leaving the five mountains to seek immortals"? Dreaming? However, after "Tai Mu Yin", local "textual research" found many Tianmu Mountains. Sima Chengzhen in the prosperous Tang Dynasty said that "in the south of Yan County, Yuezhou, the real person Wei Xianren ruled". In the late Tang Dynasty, Xu Lingfu said that "there is a peak from the northwest of Tiantai Mountain. It is called "Tianmu Peak". Du Guangting in the late Tang Dynasty said it was "in the south of Tiantai, Taizhou, where Liu Ruan lost his way." The Song Dynasty people erected a stone tablet on Lianhua Peak "where Li Bai sleepwalked", which made literati, pilgrims and tourists come here in joy and leave in despair. , Fang Bao, a literary giant of the Qing Dynasty, angrily denounced him as "a small Qiuer, an unworthy person". Today, people first adopt a compromise approach, calling "Tianmu Mountain" generally refers to the Ganglong highland at the junction of Xinchang and Tiantai. Later, disputes arise again, or "Tianmu" should be the "grandmother of Tiantai", or "Tianmu" should be There is a stone in Wanma Crossing that looks like an old woman, etc. I can’t agree on one thing. Interestingly, "Tianmu Mountain" as a place name has only been marked on local tourist maps so far.

In fact, there is a prototype for Tianmu in Li Bai's dream. It is a famous historical mountain in Fujian and Yue with a name similar to Tianmu Mountain, namely Taimu Mountain in Eastern Fujian, located in Fuding City, Fujian Province. Taimu Mountain is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It is famous for its "precarious peaks, strange rocks, secluded caves, and magical mist." After many tourists have visited it, they blurt out that this is the Tianmu Mountain where Li Bai dreamwalked. Some people even compare the scenery of Taimu Mountain with Comparing it with Li Bai's "Tian Mu Yin", it turned out to be surprisingly consistent.

——The main peak of Taimu Mountain is 917 meters above sea level, reaching straight into the sky. There are no other mountains that can compete with it. It is reached by sea, and the visual height makes it even more majestic and tall. Moreover, there is the ancient Chi'an City at the foot of Taimu Mountain, which is said to be the place where immortals live. "Hide Chicheng" should mean that Taimu's immortal reputation is far above all the immortals in Chi'an City, rather than adding superfluous features after "overtaking the Five Yues". The ground was used to "cover" Chicheng Mountain, which is only 306 meters above sea level on the edge of Tianmu Mountain. Climbing the mountain to view the sea is a major feature of Taimu Mountain. From a slightly higher point in the mountain, you can overlook the waters of the Fuyao Islands and the sunrise in the east. Especially in the early morning, when you stand on the sea-viewing pavilion on a tile, you can watch a red sun leaping out of the East China Sea, and watch the "Golden Rooster Creeping Dawn" stone standing on the cliff. This scene is exactly like "seeing the sun from half a wall and smelling it in the air." "Heavenly Chicken".

——“Thunderbolts struck, hills and mountains collapsed.” Many violent crustal earthquakes in prehistoric times created Taimu’s mountain pattern of steep peaks, steep cliffs, and overlapping layers of rocks; after water flowing along the mountain, it collapsed The cutting of rock gaps has formed the criss-crossing natural peaks, valleys and stone alleys in Taimu Mountain; the fallen rocks are superimposed on them, forming more than 100 "cave stone gates" in Taimu Mountain. Most of the trails in Taimu Mountain shuttle between Zhanggu, Shixiang, and Dieshi Cave, with twists and turns, ups and downs, and "the road is uncertain with thousands of rocks." In the cave, waterfalls fall, rock springs splash, and turbulent water surges. The sound of water roaring in the rock wall cave is just like "a bear roaring and a dragon roaring" or jade knocking on gold; when you reach the entrance of the cave, you walk out of the "stone gate" sandwiched by the cliff structure, and you "open in the middle" to see the deep valley with dense vegetation. , the azaleas are brilliant, the orchids are fragrant, and it is very common for tourists to "get lost in the flowers and lean on the rocks, and suddenly it is dark"; standing on the top of the rock peak, above the empty valley, facing the opposite hill just a stone's throw away, raising one's arms and shouting on the cliff, echoing It never ceases to be heard, it is really like "the chestnut trees are deep in the forest and the top of the mountain is astonishing".

——The exposed rock peaks of Taimu Mountain have been cut by water and polished by wind and rain for thousands of years, forming more than 360 vivid effigy-shaped landscapes, especially in the Tang Dynasty from Guoxing Temple to Baiyun Temple. Between the ancient temples, there are natural stone scenes such as Eighteen Arhats facing the mountain, Generals facing the sea, Immortals playing chess, Novices worshiping the moon, Guanyin sitting on the lotus, Jiang Taigong fishing, Two Buddhas talking about sutras, Nine carps facing the sky, Maitreya with his belly exposed, etc. Stand on the Yingxian Terrace and look around. , it is really "the immortals are like hemp".

Coupled with the alternating effect of horizontal airflow on the sea surface and vertical airflow in the valley, Taimu Mountain's "various clouds and mists are a wonder". Suddenly, "the clouds are green and green, and it is like rain, and the water is smoky and smokey." ; Suddenly a gust of sea breeze lifts the clouds and mist, and these landscapes reappear in the human world with "the wind as a horse", and "the kings of clouds come and go down one after another."

——Fuding Peak is the highest peak of Taimu Mountain. From here, you can overlook the deep valley, with lush trees, steaming mist, and "the vastness of the green world is bottomless." In the old days, there was a sun-viewing platform on the top of the peak, known as the "Golden Tower and Silver Platform". At night, you can "raise a glass to the bright moon", and at dawn, you can watch the sunrise over the East China Sea. This is exactly what "the sun and moon shine on the golden and silver platform" refers to. The ancients praised the "silver platform" in their poems. The golden tower seizes the light, and the four blacks immediately see the sea and the sun surpasses it."

Of course, just as Li Bai has never been to Tianmu Mountain, he has never been to Taimu Mountain. Then when Li Bai wrote about Tianmu Mountain, why do there appear so many landscapes of Taimu Mountain? This is related to Xue Lingzhi, the first Jinshi who opened Fujian in ancient Changxi County (the name of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to today's eastern Fujian and belonged to Yue in ancient times) where Taimu Mountain is located. He was the real Yue native of "Yu Tianmu". In the early years of Tianbao, after being recommended by He Zhizhang, Wu Jun and others, Li Bai finally served in the Imperial Academy. This was a false position in the inner court, nothing more than a literary attendant. Also serving in the inner court here were He Zhizhang and Xue Lingzhi, both of whom were servants of Prince Li Heng. In the third or fourth year of Tianbao, He Zhizhang and Xue Lingzhi left the inner court one after another and retired to seclusion. Li Bai was also "gifted with gold and released" by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It was during these three or four years that Li Bai, He Zhizhang, and Xue Lingzhi, three people who loved landscapes, loved gods, were good at poetry, and were also rebellious, got together. During their interactions, Li Bai learned about his hometown from Xue Ling. Taimu Mountain in Changxi County, Fujian.

"I visited the poor island of Yang'an and visited the immortals. The ghosts and axes excavated it skillfully, and the traces of the immortals often returned. Outside the desert of Dongou, in the vastness of South Vietnam. In order to ask Rong Chengzi, Dao Gui begged to stay. " This is Xue Lingzhi's poem "Taimu Mountain" included in "Complete Collection of Poems of the Tang Dynasty". The Taimu Mountain in the poem is an illusory fairy mountain on the sea, haunted by gods, and the poet's desire to return to the fairy mountain is also vividly displayed on the page. The artistic conception is similar to Li Bai's "Heaven". "Lao Yin" is so similar!

Taimu Mountain is located on the coast of the East China Sea. It is said that the immortals of the East China Sea gather here all the year round. It has been known as the "Fairy Mountain on the Sea" since ancient times. The ancient immortal Rong Chengzi lived in the mountains to refine alchemy. "Li Mu Lu" records: "During the time of the Yellow Emperor, Mr. Rong Cheng lived here. The first goddess of Fujian and Yue, "Tai Mu", practiced here and took "Nine Turns of Dansha" to ascend to heaven. Wang Lie's "Peach" "Jiao Si Zhi" records: "In the time of Yao, there was an old mother who lived here for immortality, so it was named Damu Mountain." "Han Shu Jiao Si Zhi" recorded it as one of the eight famous mountains that can "connect to the gods". Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Dongfang Shuo to seal it. It is the "No. 1 Mountain in the World". The ancient Changxi County where Taimu Mountain is located is separated by mountains and rivers, far away from the war and the mortal world. It has been a blessed place where Taoist immortals have gathered since the Zhou Dynasty. Huolin Dongtian is the first of the thirty-six Taoist caves. In the past, famous Taoists such as Han Zhong, Mao Ying, Zuo Ci, Ge Xuan, Ge Hong, Zheng Siyuan, Wang Xuanfu, Chu Boyu, Tao Hongjing, etc. practiced immortality and alchemy here, and there was a place here called "Ancient Yingzhou". "Funing Prefecture Chronicles" records: In the 13th year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, Governor Xin Ziyan encountered a typhoon on his way to Fujian to take office. The mountain god appeared and moved the boat to Taimu, but he survived. Afterwards, he reported to the court and attached a map of Taimu Mountain. "Hua Cai Tower, it is announced that Wang Zaifu will worship him in the Spring and Autumn Period." He personally gave the "Yao Feng Taimu Relic Pagoda" stele to be erected here, which caused a sensation in the capital.

Isn't such a famous mountain fairyland exactly what Li Bai longed for? Sima Chengzhen praised Li Bai for his "immortal spirit" and He Zhizhang called Li Bai an "immortal". It was these praises that restrained the seemingly bohemian Li Bai in his life. What's more, he "spends his whole family on the Golden Cauldron", hoping that one day he will obtain the "nine-turn cinnabar" that "will become an immortal in three days", and from then on he will "grow wings" and "fly high to Pengying", and return to the world. Heaven. When he knew that "Taimu" was transformed into heaven by taking "Nine Turns of Dansha", could Li Bai not be moved? Unfortunately, Taimu Mountain was located in Fujian, and the road was far away and transportation was inconvenient. People had to travel by sea to reach it. As a result, Li Bai, who had already arrived in Shanzhong, was fascinated but could not make the trip, so he had to use the name of "Tian Mu" in Xie Gong's poem to sleepwalk.

Some people may ask, "Tian Mu" and "Tai Mu". , have similar sounds and similar words, but they are actually different. The southern Yue people have the same belief and worship for their ancient ancestors, the ancestors of the Yue people during the matrilineal clan period, and they were eventually sublimated into mythical figures. . The title of this ancestor's grandmother changed slightly due to differences in dialects in different areas in this region. Eastern Fujian and southern Zhejiang were called Taimu, northern Fujian was called Taimu, southern Fujian was called Taiwu, and Wuyue was called Tianmu. After she was deified, , and there are more honorific titles. Moreover, these titles are also interchangeable. For example, in the fourth chapter of "The True Immortal Body and Tao Tongjian", it is written that Wuyi Jun gathered people from his hometown on Manting Peak, and the Jade Emperor and Taimu sat at the table to receive descendants. The full text of "Kowtow" has more than 1,400 words, and Taimu also appears as Shengmu, Dayuan, Mrs. Dayuan, Wei Zhenren, etc.; "Zhangzhou Illustrated Book": "There is Taiwu Mountain in the north of Zhangpu County, and Wu Yi is the grandma. There are many famous mountains in Fujian and Yue that are named Taimu." There is no shortage of precedents for Taimu Mountain to be renamed Tianmu Mountain. Lin Shumei, a Kinmen scholar in the Qing Dynasty, recited a poem about Taimu Mountain: "I also heard that there is Tianmu, secluded in Fuhai'ao." This Tianmu refers to It is Taimu Mountain on the seaside of the Fuyao Islands. The famous historian You Shou's poem: "Tianmu has not gone to his hometown for a hundred miles, and I am accustomed to listening to the words of my predecessors." He also wrote a poem: "If you pass by the immortal mountain of Tianmu, you will predict the fields for me." "Green" refers to Taimu Mountain in eastern Fujian, which is less than a hundred miles away from his hometown Xiapu.

Perhaps, Tianmu Mountain is just Li Bai's fictitious fairy mountain on the sea. It is only the poet's imagination, and it is ethereal and cannot be experienced by ordinary people like us. But fortunately, this fairy mountain is the crystallization of artistic sublimation by borrowing the name of Tianmu in Zhongshan, the scenery and rumors of Taimu in eastern Fujian, and we might as well enjoy the tour of Taimu Mountain while reciting "Tianmu Yin". Appreciate the artistic conception of the poet's dream. . Climb Mount Taimu and sing songs
