Kneel down! Travel composition of Paradise Mountain *2!

I found you seven consecutive detailed articles. See if I can help you.

Take time to build a fairy tale dream, and the rainy road is rugged into the temple.

-revisit one of the Temple Mount.

In late May, my wife kept in touch with Jinxiu Dayaoshan by telephone to learn about the weather every day and the next day. However, the weather is always ugly, and it keeps raining, and it seems that it will not stop. Since I swam to Dayao Mountain last year, I haven't been able to enjoy the azaleas in full bloom on the mountain, and my wish has not come true, so I have been thinking about mainly enjoying flowers.

On the afternoon of June 1, the weather seemed fine, so we quickly boarded the bus to Jinxiu County. The next morning, I rented a car and went to Tang Sheng, the main peak of Dayao Mountain. Shengtangshan Scenic Area is 45 kilometers away from the county seat. Along the way, the car bumped on the muddy road in the drizzle, and several people shook their heads as if dancing in the car. After crossing Changdong Township, Wuling car was trapped by a section of yellow mud uphill, and the mud was deep and the wheels slipped. The driver rushed five times in a row with first gear, but he was still stuck in the mud and couldn't move forward. From the county seat, I took a bus for more than two hours. At this time, I don't want to go back. Silently chanting in my heart: God bless us in the past. The driver picked up some branches and the like to pave the mud pit. Hey, he really rushed over this time. According to the master who came to pick us up on the third day, when we were crossing the muddy road that afternoon, there were two buses from Guilin, pulling two cars of tourists, and there was no way to return to the county seat. This is another story.

Entering the scenic mountain road, the road surface collapses from time to time, and our hearts can't help but get nervous again. It was really unexpected, but the worry still happened, and a landslide blocked the way. It is several kilometers away from the mountain gate and even farther away from the mountain crossing. I'm afraid it won't be less than ten kilometers. What is before us is a difficult and painful choice, whether to go back by car or climb the mountain on foot. But "the mountains are beautiful, the mountains are fragrant, the flowers make fairy dreams, and the drizzle enters the temple." Such a beautiful scenery, how can you give up easily! Hiking is essentially a masochism, which will soon consume our physical strength and endurance. The tenacious will still requires us to move on, and we don't want to give up halfway. After walking for two or three kilometers, a road repair car came down from the mountain, and we quickly contacted the driver who saw me off. The driver is an honest and trustworthy person. He put down the phone and came back, waiting for the road to be repaired, and drove us up the hill. At this time, we secretly rejoice for ourselves, and there is an indescribable excitement and pleasure in our hearts. It can be said that if there were no cars, it would be difficult for us to climb the mountain that day. It is conceivable that that kind of suffering must be beyond our power for us who live in the city all the year round and lack exercise.

At noon 12, the bus finally sent the three of us to the mountain crossing above Yangmeiping. In the dense fog, we checked our luggage and started a real five-kilometer mountaineering trip, which took about three hours. I thought to myself, this road is really not easy, and this holy mountain will treat us well.

The mountain fog is thick and light, and the scenery in front of us is blurred. When people walk through the cliffs in the forest, they don't feel sticky or cold. Fog is the gift of this sacred mountain, which wraps the beauty of the sacred mountain, constantly giving us many reverie and leading us to a beautiful realm.

Yin Tao snow waves cage fairyland, colorful clouds over the temple.

-revisiting the Temple Mount II

Some people say that the wonders of the Temple Mount are steamed out by clouds, which is true. In the mountains, the strange fog, the strange clouds and the strange wind have become the unique wonders of Tang Tian.

When the car was on the road in the morning, it was still raining in Mao Mao. When we reached the mountain pass, the rain stopped and we were greeted by a hazy fog. We have had the experience of climbing Mount Tangtian. We are not worried about how this fog will hinder us from climbing, but we are more looking forward to what miracle this fog will bring us. People, living in this world, are talking about a kind of fate. When we came to Tangtian Mountain, the opportunity brought by fog was also rare. There are five people going up the mountain today, including two tourists from Hong Kong. They marched quickly and took a shortcut to Haiyun Hotel on the mountain. When we met at the hotel, we asked them what they saw, and the answer was that there was fog, and nothing was seen except fog.

The three of us, on the way, felt the wind, birds, water and leaves in the mountains and explored the wonderful scenery of sudden change when the fog dispersed. The wife also said, "Look at the clouds and see the sun. If you don't believe us, we'll see! " Many things happen. Just as we were sitting on a stool in Sendai, suddenly, a strong wind swept by, and in the distance, the clouds cracked, unveiling the mysterious veil of the temple: rolling distant mountains, steep cliffs and trees all over the mountains appeared in front of us in the bright sunshine. Before the two photos were taken, one second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, about a few seconds, the clouds once again covered the mountain, and the mysterious veil of the temple once again covered her magnificent and beautiful face, and everything returned to the state when we first came. It's really hard to predict. Karma is caused by fog.

In fact, this ever-changing spectacle may appear anytime and anywhere. This spectacle is a masterpiece of clouds. On the afternoon of the third day, when we went down the mountain, this was well confirmed. When the group returned to the place about ten meters away from Xianmen, the fog on the right flew by, like a powerful and unconstrained style, showing the distant painted mountain in front of them. Then, a strong wind blew away the fog on our left. At this time, the continuous Baoding peak appeared in front of us wearing a cloud hat. The peaks and mountains are connected with the sea of clouds, and the valleys and valleys seem to go from temples to heaven. In fact, the temple is also a fairyland on earth. Perhaps, God knows that we are going to bid farewell to the Temple Mount, and we are reluctant to leave. This wonderful and magnificent picture stayed for a few minutes. She invited us to kisses and hugs, giving us enough time to freeze their magnificence in the lens, and the fog drifted away with the wind, and the sky slowly closed. From then on, all the way down the mountain, all the way around, all the way beautiful, all the way infinite scenery, is really a more magnificent and different representation of "cutting green flowers and flowing Dan, silver waves and snow waves rushing"

Cloud of the Temple Mount, you are the current creator, and you are the flowing soul in this mountain!

Tired at the end of the world, the villa is a dream paradise on a cloudy night.

-Revisiting the Temple Mount (3)

At four o'clock in the afternoon, in the oblique wind and drizzle, we came to the ladder at the top of Dengshengtang. On the left side of the ladder, we turned from the path into Haiyun Hotel next to the southwest side of the top of the mountain. It is named Haiyun Hotel precisely because it is in fog for most of the year and seldom sees sunshine. At this moment, the hotel and its affiliated wooden house are hidden in an ancient forest, quiet and quiet. Cloudy and foggy, this hotel is like a small village in the sky, and there is no earthly world.

Tang Tian is basically composed of huge stones, which is a typical Danxia landform. The mountains are full of primitive old forests, so it is difficult to grow things and no one lives there. Even water is difficult to store, so most of the food has to be shipped abroad, and the villages below are far away. Of course, food and accommodation here are extremely expensive. It is said that Liang Huan, the boss here, sold tens of millions of net worth in 2000 and signed a 40-year business development agreement with the relevant departments of Jinxiu. Up to now, the total investment is nearly 1 100 million yuan. Although it is not a good idea to build Tang Sheng Villa and Haiyun Hotel, it did cost a lot of money to transport articles up the mountain and garbage down the mountain entirely by manpower and animal power.

On the right side of the hotel is a tall and quaint azalea tree. The last flower stood on the branches in the wind and rain, swaying gently and hanging quietly, as if thinking about the worries of the next flower season. On the left side of the hotel is a strange pearl arhat pine forest. Sparse leaves grow on strange branches like green pearls, and dense clouds stay in the forest like Xiangyun. In this pearl arhat pine forest next to the hotel gate, an ancient and precious five-needle pine in South China stands tall. This is a veritable welcoming pine. It stood at the door, Gu Zhuo was vigorous, waving its big hand in the rain and fog, and constantly greeted the tourists coming and going. When we came here, we didn't know what dusk was. We are like a few tired tourists from the end of the world, and finally found a place to live.

The hotel has three floors, the interior is decorated with wooden structure, with complete sanitary facilities and clean and comfortable occupancy. We booked a triple room, took a hot bath, soaked our feet, and had dinner. We saw that the sky showed no signs of improvement. We expected that "the clouds in the mountains will stay outside the window tonight", so we covered ourselves with a thick quilt and lay down early.

In the middle of the night, the wind kept buckling the doors and windows, and the wet fog seemed to protrude from the cracks in the doors and windows, gently stroking my arms and cheeks. It's so comfortable With the help of fog, I saw a fiery red sun rising in Ran Ran, and I saw several Buddha lights dancing among the ancient trees. I have also become the owner of a villa in Liang Huan. I have been restless for the first half of my life, and I have no time to take care of my own days, enjoying the endless glory that nature has given me.

Oh, what a wonderful night, what a happy dream!

Birds are singing in the deep forest, and a thousand-year-old hemlock stands on it.

-Revisiting the Fourth Temple Mount

In the early morning of the next day, I was awakened from my dream by several crisp birdsongs. I put it on my wife's ear and whispered, "Get up quickly and watch the sun come out."

Haiyun Hotel is located in the southwest of the mountain, north and south. To see the sunrise, it takes more than ten minutes to walk to the northeast of the mountain. In fact, this huge fog shows no signs of dissipating, and watching the sunrise is just our wishful thinking. Now that the birds have awakened us, we can't spend this wonderful day in bed. Simply wash your face and rinse your mouth, pick up the camera and run to the "ladder" in the northeast of the mountain.

The mountain wind is very strong, and the clouds come in waves like the tide. It's still gray in the distance and I can't see anything. The chill mixed in the wet fog seems to be gathered by the strange wind. Instead of welcoming the sun, they made our teeth standing on the ladder tremble. Think of what my wife said yesterday, "See the clouds and see the sun." I joked, "The critical moment you said doesn't work."

The wife joked that this is the meanness of the mountain god. It collects all the infinite scenery with clouds and clouds, and we mortals are not allowed to see it more. Since this is the opportunity we lack, don't be too greedy and leave the beautiful sunrise of the temple to enjoy with others next time. Peace of mind, so we went into the old forest again and caught up with the tree monster.

Trees and stones in the forest are covered with layers of "green coats" by thick epiphytes. The trunk is grotesque and extraordinary, and it seems to have been oppressed by the wind and rain on this mountain. It looks like crouching dragon and tiger, and it looks like a snake coming out of the hole. It is necessary to show their incomparable tenacity and tenacity to nature, giving people a feeling of horror and horror. Walking into the forest for more than ten meters, I have fallen into a maze. Rotten wood, cracks, rotten soil and traps on the ground are difficult to distinguish. Bypassing a big stump, when I tried to move on, my right foot fell into a saprophytic tree pit covered with moss nearly one meter deep. Fortunately, the camera is not broken and people are fine. The ancient trees in this forest have been refined. How can I afford to play with my short and insignificant mortal life?

On both sides of the ladder, there is a small phoenix bamboo forest, overlooking the bamboo forest about 200 meters southwest, and two huge ancient trees, one on the left and one on the right, form their own peaks. This is the most unique Millennium Hemlock among many trees in southern Tang Tian. Their broad bodies, at least 20 or 30 meters in diameter, sit firmly on the hillside, just like a pair of mountain generals commanding thousands of troops. Their unique posture, dense and colorful needles, while the crown of the tree is flat and stretched, such as a smooth road paved with jade, and accompanied by the majestic peaks next to them, it looks steady and firm, so it is known as the "safe tree".

Day after day, year after year, the "Tree of Peace" reports peace to every guest who comes and goes, wishing them happiness and well-being. This is the symbol and emblem of the Temple Mount, which is the treasure of the majestic temple! In this situation, how can we not give birth to the feeling that "old trees are mixed with ladders, and clouds are floating on the soles of our feet"?

Rhododendrons need a new year, and the branches dance vertically in front of us.

-revisit the Temple Mount (5)

The biggest purpose of returning to Tang Tian this time is to watch the grand opening of 10,000 mu of azaleas.

It is understood that Tang Sheng's 10,000-mu contiguous rhododendron is a must in Tang Sheng. May is the peak season for rhododendron display in Tangshan every year. Ten thousand acres of azaleas are in full bloom at the same time, and the trees are full of flowers. The flowers are rich and intoxicating. What's more spectacular is that under the sunlight, the azaleas change colors with the change of flowering period, from red to purple and from purple to white. Every tree is covered with red, purple, white and yellow, competing for beauty. It is true that flowers are on the same branch, with different colors, the same petals and always changing colors. Against the background of green leaves, it is like colorful umbrellas. The mountain wind blows and the flowers roll, naturally forming a vast sea of flowers, which is praised by people. From May 20 to June 2004 10, Jinxiu Yao Autonomous County also held the first Rhododendron Festival, which showed its unprecedented grand occasion.

Although the rhododendron forest is not unique to Tang Shengshan, tens of thousands of acres of colorful azaleas are connected together and there are many kinds, which is the uniqueness of Tang Shengshan. The rhododendrons here are mostly big tree rhododendrons only found in alpine areas. They are called Hericium erinaceus, Rhododendron cornutum, Rhododendron guihai, Rhododendron cowhide, Rhododendron Muslim, Rhododendron Guizhou, Rhododendron lily, Rhododendron gorgeous and so on. After listening to their words, people can't help but marvel. Due to the influence of Shan Yu and the fact that we are in the small year of azaleas in Shengtangshan, we can hardly see any flowers when we come to Deshan. But judging from the thick piers, primitive shapes, simple and vigorous trunks and scattered flowers that finally opened, we can still imagine its bright and magnificent colors. At that time, if you were in the Rhododendron Sea at the top of the mountain, you would be very relaxed and could not help it.

The azaleas in full bloom in the New Year were missed, so we turned to enjoy the strange azaleas on this holy mountain.

From mountain to mountain, the same tree species grows differently at each height. The old azalea forest on the mountain is even more peculiar. Although it does not break through the sky, it is magical because it grows in a gap, with tenacious vitality and strange shape. Some azaleas have thick stems, so I'm afraid two people can't hold each other together. They were blown down by the strong wind, leaving only a little sediment under their roots, but they still grow luxuriantly, giving people a feeling of vitality. Some rhododendron trees turn several times because of the strong wind at the top of the mountain, and connect with the ground to form a natural arch in the forest. These centenarians all dance with pride, snake and dragon, and live a long life. Gazing at this forest spirit, which is full of vicissitudes, full of vitality, enduring humiliation and long life, I not only think of the Taoist saints who are "not tired of vulgarity, not adorned with things, not concerned about others, and not caring about others", but also lament why it is necessary to fight for power and profit and work hard to hurt the spirit in a short life.

There are beautiful trees in the south, and the azalea tree on the top of this mountain, taking pains, is the best annotation.

Stalagmites on the Ya Dan are all over the temples, looking at the scenery from one side to the other.

-Revisiting the Sixth Temple Mount

Speaking of Shishan Mountain in Guangxi, Guilin is famous for its karst landform, while Tangshan Mountain near Guilin and Liuzhou is not a karst landform, but a landform similar to Danxia. Compared with the insignificance of Guilin's landscapes and supernatural beings, its mountains are huge, steep and steep, and it looks thin and towering, forming a unique valley spectacle, which is unpredictable and covered with a mysterious and magical veil, so that you can't see enough and understand it. Therefore, Mount Tangtian is more secluded than Lushan, as dangerous as Huashan, as majestic as Mount Tai, as pine and cypress win over Huangshan, and as peak as Zhangjiajie.

Climbing all the way, the winding stone steps wound up. Stone monkeys enjoying the moon, dancers looking for husbands, snakes coming out of holes, mysterious ancient walls, Guanyin rock, pride in the crowd, Shouxingyan, Longji and strange stones are looming, which seems to be waiting for tourists to review slowly. They are in the clouds and mountains, sometimes shy and sometimes shy. If you don't appreciate them carefully, you really can't understand their charm. Goddess peak, Tiebi, Little Wuzhishan, Jiuping Peak and Baodingfeng, distant scenic spots, sometimes appear majestic, graceful, mysterious and amazing because of the dancing of Shan Lan clouds. When you face the cliff and concentrate, you will have hallucinations in front of you. On the cliff, "you are stronger than no desire" will come to your soul.

The rocky mountains in Tang Sheng are colorful and full of friendship. Looking up like a turtle, there is a huge cliff with a crack on it, which seems to be divided into two parts by the golden section method. The highest is Mr. Lang, and the lowest is Jiao E. They live alone and are intoxicated. It seems that "life must be connected with death, and the heart is eternal." The stone wall conveys such a true feeling that money is hard to buy and swords are hard to stop. Another example is the birthday party. An old birthday girl wears a birthday hat, big clothes, crutches on her hands, and a kind smile on her face, blessing the tourists: May you live a long life, a complete life and be very vivid. Going deep into such a strange landscape, how can we not be filled with emotion and sing with the rocks? As Jia Xuan said, "I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this, with feelings and slightly similar looks."

I remember a poet wrote: "The fog cluster peaks cover the present, and sometimes it is hidden in the sea of clouds. The mountains are full of exotic flowers and grasses, and the tulle Gu Song is like a dragon. Whip refers to the sky, and Dagong fishes in the wind. The wonders of the temple are everywhere, and the left and right look different. " The stone landscape of the temple is extremely magnificent, strange, dangerous, beautiful, ancient and wild, especially its magnificent spirit, which really deserves the word "holy". Although there are differences in the description of saints between Confucianism and Taoism, they all regard "saints" as the highest embodiment of wisdom, moral realm and personality ideal. Entering the Temple Mount and merging into this sacred realm, you will have a wise understanding of things in the world and your own life, and your mind will be sublimated.

The ancients said: man is a fairy beside the mountain. Although this is a kind of detachment and freedom to stay away from the world of mortals and abandon the secular world, when I am waiting for this tour, isn't it just swimming outside the dirt? It seems reasonable for the temple not to look at the mountains and return home.

Light song and dance exhibitions are prosperous, and the unique skills passed down from generation to generation annoy tourists.

-Visit the Seventh Temple Mount again.

On the night when I returned to the county from Shengtangshan, I heard that there was a folk performance, so I took a jumping car (a local means of transportation transformed from a three-wheeled motorcycle) and went to see it in Wuliao, about three kilometers away from the city.

Jumping over the mountain, I saw a long pile of raging fires burning, which was extremely dazzling in the dark. The graceful melody of "Mountain Cutting Dance" attracts us to rush to the performance site quickly. I saw a wooden pillar inlaid with more than twenty sharp steel knives by the fire, and a triangular colored flag was pulled obliquely from the top to all sides. The towering knife ladder is like a solid mace shining with cold light, piercing the deep night sky. Dozens of tourists quietly enjoy singing and dancing, and sometimes give warm applause. There is no fixed time for folk performances, and people need to charter the venue before they can summon people to perform in the stockade. It didn't rain this time, so we have a chance to catch it. Although we came a little late, we were glad to catch up with the performance.

The performances are mainly divided into two categories, one is folk songs and dances, the other is stunts handed down from ancient times, and the two types of programs are interspersed, entertaining and eye-catching, so that tourists can enjoy a wonderful national cultural feast. Folk songs and dances mainly include cutting mountains, climbing stairs, dancing kings, singing and displaying national costumes. Actors are the backbone of rural amateur literature and art, and some have participated in international performances many times. From their superb performances, we can see the excellent qualities of sincerity, courage and kindness of the Yao people.

The stunts performed by young Yao people are what we often say: burning chains in the mountains and the sea. When it comes to Yao's stunts, it is necessary to understand a festival called Dayaoshan, which is equivalent to the ceremony of "reaching the summit" and "offering sacrifices" by young men and women in ancient Han Dynasty, but the young Yao people accepted it are braver and more confident. The ceremony of abstinence is very grand. Those who accept the "precept" have to undergo all kinds of severe tests, such as going up the mountain, crossing the sea of fire, frying in oil, swallowing bamboo chopsticks, stepping on the plow, etc. , and flipped through the "Yuntai". "Yuntai" consists of four wooden strips with a length of 4 meters or 6 meters, and 36 sharp steel knives are tied to the left and right sides to form a knife ladder. After accepting the good wishes of Daogong, the ordained person bravely climbed the ladder barefoot, came to the top of Yuntai, put his knees in his hands, and then tumbled into a rattan net covered with cotton wool or straw. The local old people all say that after living with swords and shadows and being baptized by fire, people can eliminate disasters and take refuge, get rid of suffering, be healthier and have a more brilliant career.

The stunts are dazzling and nerve-racking. Before each stunt performance, the performer must burn paper while muttering, which means inviting his own master, the master of the master and other seniors to come to put out the fire and cool down, giving the performers courage and strength, and blessing them to tide over the difficulties safely. When you step barefoot on the red-hot iron plow head, you can see the smoke billowing, smell the pungent smell of burnt skin, and see the plowshare stepped out. Its high temperature can still make paper money ignite an open flame. Its scenery reminds me of the scene when I was a child, when I used red-hot ferrochrome to iron the chrome pigskin at home. According to the host, Pan and others performed "Crossing the Fire" and won the gold medal in the second China Folk Skills Competition, and all three won silver medals: stepping on a red-hot plow, swallowing chopsticks and biting a bowl.

What is interesting and puzzling is that tourists can also participate in the program "Burning the Chain". After the performer passed by for the first time, there were always several brave tourists who also experienced the test of the fire. The host joked that it can also cure beriberi.

Today's prosperity is displayed in brisk songs and dances, and the thrilling stunts handed down from generation to generation have attracted many tourists. The performance is over, but we have been thinking about it for a long time.
