This winter ice and snow roaming season, how about we go to Wuyi Mountain in Fujian?
Let's take Mr. Wang Zengqi's "Grass and Trees in the World". In this book, Mr. Wang writes about Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province as follows:
The advantage of Wuyi Mountain is that the scenic spots are concentrated. The range is not large, there are scenes everywhere, anywhere, from any angle, there are things to see, not like some scenic spots, walk for half a day, there is only one place to see, and the rest of the places are flat.
Mountains and rivers are very kind to people, very kind, coming head-on, as if they want to get along with people, want to put their arms, want to speak, not arrogant, not indifferent, not severe.
If you have been to Wuyi Mountain, you might as well compare the scenery in your memory with Wang Lao's "Grass and Trees in the World" to see if this is the case.
Here are some specific attractions:
The Jade Girl Peak stands in a pavilion, and the King Peak squats. The sun-clothed rock hangs straight down, the stone color is reddish, the grass does not grow, it is spectacular and durable. Tianyou is the pinnacle, a glance at the mountains, so that people have the idea of out of the dust.
If you go to Wuyi Mountain now, what are these attractions like?The following are the features of the attractions that I have compiled based on the data:
The Jade Girl Peak is located in the south of Erqu Creek in Jiuqu Creek in Wuyi Mountain, and is named because it resembles a slim girl. There are two vertical joints on the peak wall that divide the columnar body into three parts, like three women with graceful figures.
Dawang Peak is the highest peak of Wuyi Mountain, with an altitude of 2,158 meters. There are majestic natural stone pillars on the top of the mountain, which are described as "thousand-layer stones, 10,000-story buildings, and 100-million-year-old stone pillars". Climb high and overlook, the beautiful scenery of Wuyi is in full view.
Located in the upper reaches of Jiuqu River in Wuyi Mountain, the Shobuyan is a huge stone wall. The texture of the wall is vertical and horizontal, and the color is like dyed cloth drying in the green mountains and green waters, so it is named "drying cloth rock".
Tianyou Peak is a landmark scenic spot of Wuyi Mountain, located in the north of Liuqu River in Jiuqu River. Its "Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends" scenery is particularly famous, among the many inscriptions on the peak wall, Xin Qiji's inscription "Tianyou Peak" is the most conspicuous.
Let's look at Wang Lao's description.
Jiuqu Creek:Jiuqu River is a wonderland made in heaven. The stream follows the mountain, the water is extremely clear, and the bottom of the stream is full of black pebbles. It is now the dry season, the water is shallow, and the bamboo rafts and pebbles are rubbing each other, and there is a sound. Sitting on the raft, looking left and right, overwhelmed.
Jiuqu River is the main peak of Wuyi Mountain - a stream at the southwest foot of Huanggang Mountain, located in the peak rock valley of Wuyi Mountain in Fujian Province. Because Wuyi Mountain has 36 peaks, 99 rocks, the peaks and rocks are staggered, the streams are vertical and horizontal, the Jiuqu River runs through it, and it winds for 15 miles. And because it has three bends and nine curves, it is called Jiuqu Creek.
It has a total length of about 10 kilometers and an area of 85 square kilometers. The mountains carry the water around, the water goes around the mountains, and each song has a landscape painting with different scenery. "The stream is nine meandering clouds, and the mountain light is soaked in clear ripples. It vividly depicts the beautiful wheel corridor of Jiuqu River.
Ship coffin:I don't know what the ship coffin is. How did people at that time get the coffin into such a cave on the cliff with no way out?Why bury the dead in such a high place?This is an unexplainable mystery.
The boat coffin of Wuyi Mountain, also known as the Wuyi hanging coffin, is a kind of wooden coffin shaped like a canopy boat in the south of the Yangtze River, and is a kind of burial tool for the ancestors of the ancient Min nationality in Wuyi Mountain. The lid of the coffin is semicircular, the bottom of the coffin is shuttle-shaped, and the middle is a rectangular shape, which is used to place the owner of the tomb and the burial goods. After carbon-14 dating, the Baiya hanging coffin is about 3450 years old, that is, during the Shang Dynasty.
From the point of view of craftsmanship, the shape of the coffin is regular, the outline is smooth, even the chiseling hole at the bottom of the lid is very regular, and there are still many traces of metal cutting and chisel, showing that the southeast coast has entered the Bronze Age at that time.
Amazingly, these hanging coffins have been able to remain incorruptible after being stored for hundreds of thousands of years, mainly thanks to the material used in Minnan. This wood has good antiseptic properties, which allows the coffin to be preserved for a long time.
Is the mystery of the hanging coffin really difficult to solve?
Water Curtain Cave:It is not like "Journey to the West" that there is a waterfall hanging like a curtain at the entrance of the cave, but a very long straw rope is hung from the cliff, and the water on the mountain flows along the grass rope, which is blown away by the wind, like smoke and fog, fluttering and flickering, like a transparent thin curtain. There are fields under the water curtain cave, planting and cooking, all rely on the landscape. There is a teahouse under the spring, and some people are drinking tea.
The Water Curtain Cave of Wuyi Mountain is located in the half wall of Danxia Peak on the south bank of Zhangtang Stream, and is the largest cave in Wuyi Mountain, with a height and width of more than 100 meters. There are two clear springs in front of the hole, from the top of the rock of more than 100 meters high, it is integrated into a flood of abyss, the abyss water is green and deep, it seems that there is a divine dragon in the middle, so it is called the divine dragon pool.
The cliff wall in the cave is engraved with "the ancient sunny window rains all day long, and the spring and autumn flowers and the moon are a curtain bead", and the water curtain of the water curtain cave is about one zhang and two when it is the widest. The main scenic spots are Swallow Peak, Shushi Pillow Flowstone, Danxia Peak, Flame Peak, Eagle's Beak Rock, Liuxiang Stream, etc.
The "Sky Crane" introduced in Mr. Wang's "Grass and Trees in the World" is also in this scenic spot:
The crane is a huge wooden winch, because it is embedded in the crevices of the cliffs, such as in the sky, the locals call it "the crane".
Now you go to Wuyi Mountain, you can see the "Sky Carriage", it is located on the south bank of Zhangtangjian Danxia Peak on the half of the wall of several small wooden buildings, according to the cliff construction, some are deep in the hole, some are half-exposed outside the hole, up and down are scattered, the railing encloses, the suspension ladder is connected.
This is a tool for the ancients to transport food and materials into the cave, and the cliff dwellers ascend and lower through the wooden "sky crane" to carry people and transport materials. Awesome!Of course, this should also be out of necessity to escape the war.
Wang Lao also wrote about the food of Wuyi Mountain:
The manager spent a lot of money on our meals, including fried fresh winter bamboo shoots, stone scales from Wuyi Mountain, namely stone chicken, giant frogs produced in the mountains, dog meat, and snake soup.
It is recommended that friends who go to Wuyi Mountain must try the stone chicken, the taste is really delicious!If you happen to live in the hotel where Wang Lao lived, you can still see the couplet he inscribed for the store, "The surrounding mountains are beautiful and the windows are beautiful, and the sound of the stream is clear in a night"!
The above content appears in Wang Zengqi's "Grass and Trees in the World". In this winter ice and snow roaming season, it is recommended that friends buy and bring "Plants and Trees in the World", and when they go to Wuyi Mountain to play, take a good comparison and see what Wang Lao sees, and what are the similarities and differences between what you see?Maybe you will find that the scenery is the same, but the difference is the state of mind!"Grass and Trees in the World" writes about grass and trees, but in fact, it is also about life, which is very worth reading.
