The beautiful scenery of Tiantai Mountain is all in this Qiongtai Fairy Valley

"It rained all night in the mountains, and a hundred springs appeared under the trees." Of course, I could only hear the sound of the stream, but not the shadow of the spring - I stayed at the Tiantai Hotel for the night, and the rushing sound lingered in my dreams, sometimes dull, sometimes dull. Excited, sometimes in a trance, sometimes awake. I thought it was the sound of rain, and I was worried about how to climb the mountain tomorrow! But I have more expectations and imagination for the waterfalls and springs in Tiantai Mountain. When I got up in the morning, I looked through the window and saw gentle ripples and golden scales swimming in the small pool in the courtyard. It turned out to be spring water rushing down from the mountain stream outside the wall, making a cool sound. When I go out and look around, I can see the wet mountains, the wet sky, the dark clouds wringing out water, the green mountains and forests evaporating smoke, and the clouds and fog connecting the sky and the earth. This chaotic world seems to have become a fairyland. , people also seem to have gained a bit of immortality. Tiantai Mountain gives us a poetic expectation in this misty rain.

"When you come back from the Five Mountains, you don't see the mountains; when you come back from Qiongtai, you don't see the valleys." Due to this reputation, and on rainy and foggy days, the first choice attraction when visiting Tiantai Mountain is Qiongtai Fairy Valley. The rain gradually stopped, and we drove up the mountain. After a while, we saw a clear and shallow reservoir. A peak stood on the wall next to the lake, with the four characters "Qiongtai Fairy Valley" written on it. At first glance, the scenery did not seem to be different. But after all, it is Immortal Valley, which has its own unique wonders. Entering the scenic spot, you pass through a cave and walk thirty or forty meters in the dark. As soon as you exit the cave, you can hear a roar. An exquisite waterfall flashes into view, like a budding girl, with a slender figure and a light body. Her skin is shiny and her voice is sweet and endearing.

After only ten steps, I entered the cave again, and walked more than twenty meters. When I came out of the cave, raindrops started to fall, and I thought about how the weather had changed so quickly. At this time, my ears were filled with roaring sounds, and in front of my eyes hung a waterfall more than 20 meters wide, rushing down into a reservoir more than 40 meters deep, and the water sprayed everywhere and turned into raindrops. Taking a closer look, there is a covered bridge over the waterfall. Pedestrians can walk across it and get close to the wild waterfall. It turns out that this is the Tiantai Tongbai Pumped Storage Power Station. Although it is a man-made landscape, it is still majestic. It is in sharp contrast to the previous "Girl's Waterfall". The waterfall in front of you is a strong man, as tall as Mount Tai. , the eyes are like frost swords, and the sound is like loud bells, which makes people awe.

Looking at the scenery like this, it reminds people of "The Peach Blossom Spring": "I left the boat and entered through the entrance. It was very narrow at first, and then I could pass people. After walking dozens of steps, I suddenly became enlightened. ..." However, how can the Peach Blossom Spring described by Tao Yuanming be as breathtaking as the Qiongtai Fairy Valley? Listening to its sound reminds people of Tchaikovsky's "First Piano Concerto", the magnificent The introduction, the horn-like strong playing of the band, the solemn and majestic strings, and the sonorous chords of the piano interpret the magnificent and broad theme, making people pleasantly surprised that life will take on a new dimension from now on. But how can the wonderful musical thoughts of the musicians compare with the natural symphony of these two waterfalls, which is so touching.

After the exciting introduction, it seems to have entered the adagio movement. The scenery in front of me is broadened and my mood is relaxed. I can walk leisurely along the flat plank road, take a close look at the deep gorges and flat lakes, and listen to the songs of birds. Chirping, the breath of spring penetrates my heart. The mountains on the bank are towering and green, with occasional small purple flowers blooming in clusters, making the mountains more lively. The water of the lake is green, with a few geese swimming slowly by, and the white-haired anthuriums swaying in the water make the shadows of the water seem spiritual. On a rock on the shore, it is written "Crossing the Lingxi River and taking a dip, it will relieve troubled thoughts from the mind." Selected from "A Journey to the Tiantai Mountains" by Sun Chuo of the Jin Dynasty, I can't help but feel the same way: Today's Lingxi River is cut into a green lake, reflecting the green mountains on both sides, which makes people more and more attracted. I really want to merge into this lush and beautiful land scenery.

The standing rocks are also endowed with rich meanings: the eagle plays with the tortoise, the fairy gathers medicine, the goddess holds the child... Looking up, you can open up endless imagination at the high peak, even if For a while, you will not be able to understand other people's descriptions, and you will also be fascinated by the magic of green mountains and beautiful peaks. In the shallows of the lake, rocks are piled up. The three towering stones are imagined as the scene of "Ji Gong snatching the bride", which comes from the legend of Feilai Peak in Hangzhou: Jigong snatched the bride to save the villagers. When people chased him out, a mountain flattened the village... ...The rooftop is the hometown of Jigong. People like Jigong and even more like the legend of Jigong. No wonder such an ordinary stone has been interpreted into a touching story, linking it with a trace of tenderness.

The green mountains on both sides of the bank closed together again, and the lake returned to a spiritual stream. The journey entered an allegro movement, in the form of a rondo - we walked up and down the steps, circling along the mountain stream, listening to the distant and distant sounds. The sound of relaxing springs and waterfalls. Several sections of waterfalls are singing loudly, which is also the theme music of this spiritual stream. It always rumbles and thunders first, arousing the yearning of tourists. Then, when the road turns around and the head of the stream is suddenly seen, the deafening sound sets off a Bai Lian was shocked and cheered. What is sung softly is the clear spring at the bottom of the stream, flowing through the lying rocks. The rapids stir up pieces of white water splash. If lovers are whispering, you can't hear clearly what is said, but you are moved by the intimate love. moment.

What’s moving is not only the waterfalls and springs, but also the motionless peaks and rocks. Look at the stubborn stone at the bottom of the stream, which looks like a buffalo. Looking back, it stands in the stream. The huge stone in the water looks like a magical turtle. It shrinks its head and hides, lying quietly under the rain curtain. Even better is the Eight Immortals Platform - a flat boulder standing in the stream. The black and white pebbles on the platform form a "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Diagram". There are eight stones around it, which look like the Eight Immortals Peaks and correspond to the eight mist-shrouded peaks higher up. . Eight peaks surround Ziyang Peak, as if the Eight Immortals are preaching to Zhang Boduan, the founder of the Southern Sect of Taoism.

What is breathtaking are the buildings left by our ancestors, with the "hanging corridor" next to it and the Wangxian Bridge in front, adding an ancient charm. The "suspended corridor" is only connected to the cliff on one side without a single pillar. It is erected in the air, and the eaves and roofs are like floating clouds; Wangxian Bridge is a stone arch bridge, like a flying rainbow running through the steep slopes on both sides, spanning deep The rapids in the stream can't help but be suspected to have been created by immortals, leaving behind these two magical monuments. Standing at the Eight Immortals Terrace, stopping at the Wangxian Bridge, looking around at the green mountains, meditating on the gathering of the Eight Immortals in the light mist, galloping through time and space for thousands of years, I feel like I am flying in this smart scenery in a trance.

The rumbling sound of the waterfall came from afar, like the shouts of thousands of troops, like the galloping of thousands of horses, approaching a beating heart. Walking quickly through a cave, Longtan Waterfall suddenly appeared in front of you. Bailian was hanging upside down, raindrops were flying, water splashes were dancing, and there was a fairy air that set off the silver dragon descending into the deep pool. "The plain cliff of Baizhang is cracked, and the red walls of the four mountains are open. There are jets in the dragon pool, and there are wind and thunder day and night. But when you see waterfalls and springs falling, it is like clouds coming from Han..." It is said that Cui Shan, a native of the Tang Dynasty, was good at painting Baizhang Cliff Waterfall in Tiantai Mountain, Zhejiang. After Li Bai became famous, he happily composed this poem "Asking for the Painting of Waterfall on Baizhang Cliff from Mount Cui" to beg for the painting from Mount Cui.

Bai Juyi also wrote a poem, using the waterfall on the Tiantai as a metaphor for Liao Ling: "What does Liao Ling look like? It is not like Luo Xiao and Wan Qi; it should be like the forty-five-foot waterfall in front of the bright moon on Tiantai Mountain. "Spring." The poet Taibai used his poems to draw pictures because he wanted to take the Baizhang Cliff Waterfall home with him so that he could enjoy it from time to time. The poet Lotte used the metaphor of a waterfall in a unique way, which shows that the moonlit waterfall of Tiantai Mountain has always been lingering in his mind. in mind. Qiongtai Fairy Valley brings together strange and dangerous mountains and holy water. How can we forget it? We are the same. Traveling to the Immortal Valley is like undergoing a baptism of the soul. Being in the beautiful mountains and rivers, we are cleansed of the worldly worries and full of fairy spirit. Our hearts are pure, our people are energetic, and our steps forward are light.
