The experience of climbing Mount Tai.

A heavy snow blocked the way to climb the mountain, and the regret that I couldn't climb Mount Tai on this trip kept me awake at night!

I came to Taishan this time not for tourism, but for a meeting. The annual work conference of the whole province's light industry system was held in Tai 'an, and I came to Tai 'an for work this winter.

The meeting was held in a four-star hotel at the foot of Mount Tai. It is said that the organizer decided to hold this meeting in Taian. At first, it was to create an opportunity for delegates to climb Mount Tai. However, two days before the meeting, a heavy snow soaked Tai 'an, and the organizer finally canceled the plan to climb Mount Tai because the mountain road was slippery.

But when I came to Tai 'an, especially at the foot of Mount Tai, I always felt a little reluctant to see Mount Tai, as if I had an unfinished heart.

Now that we have "driven to the front of the mountain", even if we can't climb the mountain, it's not bad to see the magnificent Mount Tai. So, after the meeting, a roommate and I walked along the highway around the mountain to see Mount Tai.

As we all know, Mount Tai, which is solemn and sacred, has been the object of worship by emperors for two thousand years, and its humanistic masterpieces are perfectly and harmoniously integrated with the natural landscape. The humanity and nature of Mount Tai blend together perfectly and harmoniously. Mount Tai has been worshipped by China people since ancient times and is regarded as a symbol of social stability and national unity. The Chinese nation has always had the saying that "Mount Tai is safe and the world is safe".

Mount Tai has a long human history and rich cultural heritage. From the Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age 40,000-50,000 years ago, there were traces of human activities around Mount Tai. These ancient cultural relics, which have been scientifically identified through archaeological excavations, show that Mount Tai is an important birthplace of the long-standing civilization of the Chinese nation, and it is honored as the sacred mountain of China.

It is located in the middle of Shandong, north of Tai 'an, and is called "the head of the five mountains". Mount Tai in Dongyue was called "Daishan" and "Daizong" in ancient times, but it was renamed "Taishan" in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Yuhuangding, the main peak, is 1.545 meters above sea level, with a magnificent momentum and the reputation of "the first mountain in the world". 1987 is listed in the World Natural and Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO.

Actually, before 15, I once climbed Mount Tai. It was the early spring of 1992, and I just turned 18.

At that time, I didn't know how high and thick Fugui Mountain was. In my eyes, Mount Tai is just a mountain, and the purpose of climbing Mount Tai is extremely simple, purely for mountaineering.

At that time, the scenery I saw on the way to climb the mountain and the scenery I saw on the top of Mount Tai have all disappeared from my memory. It's just that some yellowed old photos kept in the photo album quietly told me that I once climbed Mount Tai.

After all, I am still young. At that time, I didn't know mount tai at all, and I didn't know what the real mount tai was. In a blink of an eye 15 years have passed, and those terraced fields and carved stone carvings, like smoke and dust, have fallen on the growing years and memories and become ink-like dyes.

China people's worship of mountains, the most representative is the worship of Mount Tai. About 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, people began to worship Mount Tai.

According to ancient documents, there were 72 emperors who visited Mount Tai in the pre-Qin period to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Qin Shihuang, Qin Ershi and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also came here to hold amenorrhea ceremonies. From the Tang and Song Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in the Kanggan period of the Qing Dynasty, the status of Mount Tai was promoted to an unbounded realm.

This Zen-worshipping activity lasted for thousands of years in Mount Tai, running through the whole China people and feudal society. With the popularity of the "Five Elements" theory, Mount Tai was named Dongyue and was honored as the head of the five mountains.

Mount Tai attracted a large number of literati in the past dynasties, leaving many immortal masterpieces and calligraphy Mo Bao. Taoist figures have been active in Taishan area since the Han and Wei Dynasties. During the Tang, Song, Yuan and Qing Dynasties, Taoism in Taishan developed greatly and gradually became brilliant.

In the middle of the 4th century, Buddhism was introduced into Mount Tai. In 35 1 year, a temple was founded in Mount Tai. Someone in the Northern Qi Dynasty carved the Diamond Sutra in the Stone Valley.

The cultural history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years has made Artest a symbol of the Chinese nation. The majestic Mount Tai is as famous as the Great Wall of Wan Li.

From Sima Qian's famous saying: "People are inherently mortal, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather." To "blind people don't know Mount Tai" and "Mount Tai doesn't bend over", etc., we are constantly deepening our yearning for Mount Tai.

Climbing Mount Tai, like climbing the Great Wall, has become the dream of many people in China. Mount Tai has always been the spiritual source of artists and scholars in China, the totem of ancient China culture and the symbol of civilization and belief.

These profound humanistic and historical details were all read slowly from the book after I climbed Mount Tai. Compared with 18 years old, I always feel that I have never climbed Mount Tai.

Once, I happened to read that Qingyuan, a Zen master in the Tang Dynasty, put forward three realms of meditation: at the beginning of meditation, mountains are mountains and water is water; In meditation, seeing mountains is not mountains and water is not water; In meditation, you realize that mountains are still mountains, and water is still water. Buddhists pay attention to entering the WTO and being born, and pay attention to the true meaning of Buddhism on earth.

People's life, from caring for children to caring for the elderly, is our life also experiencing the triple realm of "beautiful scenery" in the rush of life?

Mount Tai is not only the "head of the five mountains", but also the first mountain I climbed after I got wet on earth. So for so many years, it has always been my modest wish to really climb Mount Tai once.

Outside our hotel, we felt the wind blowing quite hard. When my friends and I were walking along the highway around the mountain, we joked that the ancients climbed mountains.

On the way, I asked an old man about the possibility of climbing mountains. The answer is: "the mountain is high and the road is slippery, and the steps on the mountain are all snow." There is nothing to see in the mountains in winter, but some people like to take pictures and often climb mountains in snowy days. "

The old man looked up at the sky and said, "On such a cold cloudy day, it seems that it is going to snow and the wind is very strong. I'm afraid the mountain has been closed. " We bowed to the old man and walked towards Mount Tai against the cold wind.

When I arrived at Mount Tai, I looked around and vaguely saw the scene of 15 years ago. Just because of the different seasons, the spring and greenery that were full of eyes in those years turned gloomy and cold in today's winter.

The climbing stone steps are covered with a layer of snow, and a narrow path is stepped out, exposing the blue stone steps and winding. At the foot of the mountain, several small shops selling souvenirs are open, and the scattered guests are mostly boys and girls who look like students.

Several shopkeepers greeted us warmly, looked at the leather shoes on our feet, and said that we can't climb mountains with leather shoes, suggesting that we buy their hiking shoes.

We climbed the steps along the "Confucius Landing Site", 15 years ago, which is where I climbed Mount Tai.

The mountains are covered with snow, and the north wind whistles, blowing the snow on the ground and blowing it on the face makes people feel strangely cold. Go to the Wanxian Building in Taishan, usually buy tickets from here and officially enter the mountain.

We consulted the ticket office. Although there is no mountain closure, the lock road on the mountain has stopped running. If we want to climb the mountain, there is only one choice. Even if you climb Mount Tai, you can't get down before dark.

My friends and I both know that it is impossible to climb mountains in this weather. I didn't have any hope of going up the mountain when I came. Maybe I just came to see my old friend. Because we were leaving Tai 'an early the next morning, my friends and I finally gave up the idea of climbing Mount Tai.

I stood at the entrance of Mount Tai, deeply breathing the air of Mount Tai and feeling its unchanging character for thousands of years. People are always small and helpless in front of nature, and this heartfelt feeling is even more unforgettable.

Apart from being small and helpless, standing under Mount Tai, I deeply feel a kind of fear and fragility that I have never felt before. It is this fear and fragility that makes my previous enthusiasm for climbing Mount Tai disappear, and I no longer have the courage and confidence to climb Mount Tai.

Back to the hotel, it was night arrival, and the regret of not climbing Mount Tai made me feel tasteless in front of a sumptuous dinner. I re-examine myself and feel deep remorse and guilt for my vulnerability.

At night, I lay tossing and turning in my hotel room, unable to sleep. Just got up, opened the curtains and looked at the silent Mount Tai in the dark. The night is gloomy and there is no moonlight. With the help of stars and lights, you can only vaguely see Mount Tai in the distance.

I can't see the hustle and bustle of thousands of people climbing mountains, the splendor of neon flashing, and the embellishment of artificial decoration ... Although it is a faint outline of the mountain, the towering, towering, tall and tenacious Mount Tai is more real and natural than during the day.

That kind of heroic spirit, like a calm and calm wise man standing proudly in the sky, makes me feel like a natural existence.

So this is the real Mount Tai. No matter how many legends and legends there are in Mount Tai, no matter how many monks and immortals there are, no matter how many literati and court dignitaries visit Mount Tai, Mount Tai is just a masterpiece of nature in the natural world.

Just like there are too many temptations in the world of mortals, there are too many hidden rules hidden behind the mask of hypocrisy, and what you see may not be true. Everything is like looking at flowers in the fog. It's as real as fantasy and as real as fake. It's easy for people to get lost in the real world.

But when we calm down and constantly reflect on the world and have a clear understanding of our pursuit, we finally know that in fact, in the deepest part of our hearts, what we long for is still the truth and innocence from nature.

The snow in Mount Tai prevented me from climbing Mount Tai, but I no longer regret facing Mount Tai. A person's life will never be as high as Mount Tai, but I think we can work hard to extend the width of life wholeheartedly and have the same mind as Mount Tai.

Go to sleep, I have to travel tomorrow!
