A trip to Lushan Mountain

On a sunny day in May, my wife and I made an appointment with our friends, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Jun, and drove from Zhang to Chayu Mountain to enjoy the scenery.

In Tunping, we met a tour guide, Xiao Xie. Out of the county seat, Mercedes-Benz went all the way to the west. Xiao Xie is very familiar with Yishan. He told us along the way that Chashan, also known as Cha 'e Mountain and Linglong Mountain, is located 25 kilometers west of suiping county City. It is a remnant vein on the eastern edge of Funiu Mountain, named after the rugged peaks, and enjoys the reputation of "Zhongzhou Bonsai", "Northern Stone Forest" and "Kingdom of Strange Stones". 1987 was identified as the first batch of provincial-level scenic spots by Henan Provincial People's Government. Scenic area 148 square kilometers, tourist area 50 square kilometers, 786 meters above sea level. Now it is a national geological park and a national 4A tourist area. Now it is a compound tourist area with strange stone sightseeing, journey to the west culture, exploration, leisure, vacation and religious pilgrimage.

During the conversation, I saw several hills ahead. Mercedes-Benz leaped over a mountain. Look at those mountains. According to Xiao Xie, the mountains here are very dangerous and have always been a battleground for military strategists. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Chu fought for hegemony. King Wu died and was buried under the peak. Despite the vicissitudes of life, the tomb of the Prince of Wu still exists.

Liu Xiu, a Guangwu native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, took refuge in Taohua Cave before entering Luo. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the peasant uprising army asked Zeng to station troops to this mountain, and later joined forces with * * * to guard this mountain, leaving a' Huang Chao Cave'. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yingxiang, the uncle of Li Zicheng, a peasant rebel, was stationed in Chaying Mountain as his base camp, and now he has a "podium".

After the Mercedes passed two buses, Xiao Xie said, "It's almost there. Let me introduce to you:

"Tea Fish Mountain consists of beeswax Mountain, Nanshan Mountain, Beishan Mountain, Liu Feng, Guo Hua and Mo Tian. Honey wax mountain, the main peak towering above the cliff. 300 meters high, no gap. The peak spring flows slowly, such as honey coating the wall; Nanshan, Qifeng abrupt, mangoku emptying. Wandong, Baogong Temple, Taohua Cave, Wulong Palace, Qianlong Adventure Cave, Tian Zi Window, Feilaishi, Wugong Cave, and the first line of sky are densely covered. "Lotus Palm" is similar to lotus water. "Stone Monkey Hospital" is an excellent place for stone monkeys. Drunk Bajie is naive and realistic. The sleeping Tang priest is lifelike; Beishan, Guan Yue Temple, Tianwang Hall and Laojun Garden stand among the mountains. The handwriting of Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, is still in the cave. Six peaks, deep valleys and dangerous peaks, dense forests and bamboos, are full of wild interest. Scenic spots such as swordfish stone and Mishima stone are scattered among them; The weather is grinding, the risk is moderate, and the dry posture is beautiful. Four beautiful pearls, Lake Xiu Mi, Lake Biwako, Lake Motian and Lake Baihua, are embedded in the mountains.

"The whole scenic spot has nine landscapes, nine famous peaks, nine famous caves, nine different rocks and nine famous lakes. It can be described as a scene, a fairyland everywhere.

"Uncle and aunt, what shall we watch today?"

After a brief discussion, the four of us decided to visit the North District. Because I've seen the south.

"Mercedes-Benz" pulled into the parking lot of the North Scenic Area. Under the arrangement of Xiao Xie, we entered the gate of the scenic spot.

Walking into the gate of the scenic spot, the first thing that catches your eye is the Map of Chaying Mountain Scenic Spot. Browse the whole scenic spot map, and we are ready to move on. On the other side of the road, we saw steel columns with giant signboards embedded in them: Nanshan Gate 4500m, Dongshan Gate 3500m and geological museum 4500m. Motian Lake Scenic Area.

Dozens of meters ahead, there is a bridge. On one side of the bridge, there is a huge stone engraved with "Chage Mountain". The font is strong, flesh and blood. Let's take a closer look at "getting to work".

Cross the small bridge and walk straight for a mile on the cement road shaded by green trees, and you can see Motian Lake.

Motian Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the dam in the east is about two or three miles long. Stone mills are arranged on the dam, up and down in eleven rows, one after another, which is very spectacular. It's incredible where you have so many grinders. Miracle.

Look at Motian Lake again, like a huge mirror with a floor. Overlooking, wrapped in silver; Close up, clear and thorough. Fish and shrimp wagged their tails freely in the lake, and wild ducks and waterfowl were everywhere. The lake and the green trees set each other off, and the lakes and mountains are very interesting. The wind blows the tree and gently shakes the water. The wind prevents the tree from standing still like a mirror. What a fairyland. No wonder The Journey to the West is shooting in Yishan. We are still taking a group photo here as a souvenir.

We took to the boardwalk. You will feel comfortable walking on this 2000-meter-long boardwalk. There is water under your feet, sky above your head, and mountains around you, as if on water and in the air. Looking around the beauty of mountains and rivers, the mountains near the water are more vigorous, and the water near the mountains is more beautiful. The original mountains and waters are wonderful without makeup. People who play, we are back to nature. How many years of desire, peace, harmony, unity of things and me, enjoying nature.

Follow the boardwalk to the first observation deck in the west. There is love birds like a stone here. The "flapping edge" flew into the eyes. Acacia bird, the embodiment of magpie. Legend has it that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl have made great contributions to bridging the gap, and nature has made statues for them. In this sturdy mountain, how much elegance and aura this scene has added to this mountain!

The second landscape platform over there is better. An independent boulder stands on the hillside and has only a little connection with the mountain below. When the wind blows six or seven, you can see how it is shaken by the wind, which is worrying. Hence the name "Pneumatic Stone"-this is a unique skill of Yishan!

The third scenic spot is called "Looking Back at the Dragon", which is the largest elephant trunk stone on Yishan. The faucet, beard, eyes and scales are lifelike. There is indeed a tendency for the wind to ride the clouds. This is unique to Yishan and rare in China.

Xiao Xie took pictures of strange rocks and trees as he walked, and sometimes he took pictures of us. I asked: Isn't the Journey to the West taken here? Where is water curtain cave? "Xiao Xie said," I'll show you! "

There are many caves in the upper reaches of Motian Lake. In the rainy season, the spring water is clear when the flood falls. The water above the hole forms a water curtain hole like a waterfall. It's the dry season, so we can go to the cave. Hey, there's plenty of room in the cave. Enter from the north entrance, where the cool air is pleasant. Walk two or three feet, a cave door, and then walk. It is no problem to accommodate dozens of people. The light is too dim, so I use my mobile phone to illuminate. There are also two or three couples who are very loving and close. Out of the hole, turn on a high slope and meet a flat rest area. We are tired of walking. There was a sale just now. Bean jelly Xiao Xie prepared a bowl and a bottle of water for everyone. All the biscuits and bread we brought came in handy. Everyone is full of food and wants to climb the mountain to Nanshan. After a long walk, I asked how far it was from the other side. Some people say it's far away. There's nothing both women can do. Turn back too far. Looking at Dongshantou, I went up and down around Dongshan Lake. I hear strange cries from time to time in the mountains. This is an outlet for tourists when they are tired. From time to time, I heard relaxed and loud songs from the lake. Look at the probe. Oh, that's the sound from the boat. No wonder I saw some boats when I came to the lake. It turns out that when you are tired from walking, you can return by boat.

However, when we walk on Dongshan Road, we can only go forward bravely. The road is getting steeper and steeper. Xiao Xie and Lao Zhang are exploring ahead. I want two high heels. In some places, the slope is seventy or eighty degrees, and in some places it is almost ninety degrees. We crawled forward and finally got to the top of the mountain.

Suddenly, I saw a stone tablet. It reads: "Motian Peak: a peak column is formed by spherical weathering along two groups of structural joints, and its top is formed by spherical weathering along primary joints, with three huge stones, such as grinding bottom in the lower section, grinding disc in the middle section and grinding up in the upper section. Because it is on the top of the mountain, it is named' Tianmo Peak'.

This passage is difficult to understand. There are many geological terms. No wonder, when Motian Lake entered the mountain, I saw an eye-catching sign: "Chagua Mountain National Geopark Boundary". Spanning a billion years. "The signature is" People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Ministry of Land and Resources ". June 5438, 2004+10 "

After catching up with Xiao Xie, I asked, she told a beautiful and moving story first, and then explained the situation.

She said, let's start with The Origin of Tea Mountain. According to legend, a long time ago, the endless plains were in good weather and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. One year, a sudden rainstorm lasted for several days, and the people were in danger. At this time, a big fairy retired from the water by magic, but because she was young and shallow, she couldn't retire. In desperation, he ran to the queen mother's back garden and threw a rockery stone piece by piece. When the flood receded, the people were saved, leaving stones piled up into mountains. The Jade Emperor praised him for his meritorious service in loving the people and entrusted his dream to the emperor of the dynasty, calling this mountain "Chabi Mountain". Look up the words and add mountains and edges to the left. I heard that this word can't be found in the dictionary. This is the origin of the legendary mountain.

In fact, the origin of mountains is geological. We should look at it from a geological point of view. It is located in the eastern part of Qinling orogenic belt, the central orogenic system in China, and the southern edge of North China block. Yanshanian magmatic mud flowed into () 1.23~ 1.39 million years ago. After that, it experienced the development and fracture stage of fracture structure joints; Exposed weathering and denudation stage. Under the comprehensive action of magma that does not rise or fall, but is washed away by sunlight, air and rain, stone sheds, caves and statues on the surface are formed. This is the reason for building mountains. Because the surface stone is uneven, it is called inspection. This is the real origin of "Chagua Mountain".

Under the leadership of Xiao Xie, the four of us finally climbed the Motian Peak through hardships, and saw the true face of this millstone-like peak from a distance. That's three big stones.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the peaks are closely connected and the trees are lush. The grotesque rocks on the top of the mountain, one step at a time, are fairyland. Zan Xu, a poet and ritual historian in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a famous poem, "Cha Bi Mountain is beautiful in seeking immortality, and there are 100,000 peaks in the clouds". Li Feng, a great contemporary calligrapher, praised Dengcha Mountain as: Huangshan Mountain is unique in the world, and the tea mountain is rare in the world. Thousands of roses stand on steep walls and offer spiritual peaks.

Looking back at the corridors we walked, the roads we climbed, the scenic spots we set foot on and the mountains we conquered, I am proud. Photograph the landscape of mountains, rivers and gullies with mobile phones. Suddenly, the "pneumatic stone" fell into the camera, and the danger was worrying, while a big stone hanging on the mountain was simply frightening. There are thousands of statues of Qian Qian, some of which meditate, some worship, some face the wall and some repent. Some are civil servants and some are imitators of military commanders. Some sleep on the hillside, some work ... Nature is magical. It is difficult to create this variety by manual carving.

I looked down the hill and a pavilion seemed to be connected by a bridge. Ah _ _, that's the "stone mill dike" I filmed.

Walk down the hill on the dam. There is a colorful shed by the lake, and the bride in red makeup is dazzling. In front of the lake, trees and mountains pour into the water, and the mountains and rivers are green and harmonious. I took this picture and wrote it in Weibo.

Back in Hubei, my friend Zhang saw the original grinding, and when he was excited, he pushed it dozens of times at once. We are in a good position again, so Xiao Xie gave us an unforgettable moment-a day of grinding the lake, ending our trip to Chaya Mountain.
