I have resigned, and I am about to leave Bengbu, and I don't know when I will come here again, so on March 4, I climbed Tushan with Wen Honglin of Huaiyuan Office and Mr. Liu, a dealer, to worship Dayu, and I made a wish.
Tu Mountain, also known as when Tu Mountain, commonly known as East Mountain, is the location of the ancient Tu Mountain country, it is said that it was originally a mountain, Dayu controlled the water to split the mountain into two, let the Huai River water divert, become from the south to the north. It is also the place where Dayu married his wife and the princes of the first conference. Its mountain is located in the western suburbs of Bengbu City, Anhui Province, on the east bank of the Huai River, and faces Jingshan across the river. The highest peak, Phoenix Peak, is 338 above sea level7 meters.
On a sunny day, we were going to drive halfway up the mountain, and then hike to the top of Phoenix Mountain to worship Yuwang Temple. When we reached the side of the road at the bottom of the mountain, a police car was in charge at the intersection, saying that the city bureau was holding a mountaineering competition today, and traffic control was carried out, so we could only hike up the mountain, so we had no choice but to abandon the car and walk.
There is a road or two from the provincial road to the foot of the mountain, which is a dirt road, although there are stone protrusions, but it is also flat. There are large pomegranate trees on both sides, because just after winter, the large pomegranate trees are bare, without any vitality, which makes people's hearts full of a sense of desolation. Looking from afar, Tushan is covered with patches of pines and cypresses, the emerald color is rich, like the soldiers of the ancient army, standing tall and tall, forming a number of phalanxes in patches, waiting for the king's review. A gust of west wind blows, the pine waves rise and fall, ten thousand trees surge, looking from afar, if a thousand armies are galloping, listen carefully, like the neighing of ten thousand horses. Near the top of the mountain, there are bare rocks, gray and yellow, with the occasional pine and cypress in between. As far as the eye can see, there are several low buildings, stone towers and temples. If it comes in April and May of the lunar calendar, it will be a different scene: thousands of acres of pomegranate flowers under the mountain are red and hot, thousands of pines and cypresses on the mountain are tall and green as blue, all kinds of unknown wildflowers are colorful and open all over the mountain, gray rocks, yellow fertile soil is mixed in the meantime, Yuwang Hall is embedded in the blue sky and white clouds, towering on the top of red flowers and green trees, what a magnificent picture it will be?!
After a mile or two of dirt road, there is a flat asphalt road, with tall pines and cypresses on both sides, bushes, and the occasional few unknown birds jumping and chirping. The asphalt road winds and winds up the mountain. Since it is a six-kilometre journey from the bottom to the top, we decided to climb the steep trail instead of a flat road in order to get up the mountain as soon as possible. But it didn't take long for us to be sweating profusely and panting, but luckily I was wearing sneakers, a little better than them; But after continuing to climb, Mr. Zhang and I gradually fell behind Lao Wenzi, not only sweating profusely, panting, but also with a sore back and swollen feet, there was no way for us to sit down and rest. When we set out again, there was no trace of Lao Wenzi, so we quickened our pace and moved forward quickly, but the more we wanted to reach the end quickly, the heavier our feet became, like pouring lead, and every step was very difficult! I was born in a hilly area, and my hometown was surrounded by mountains, and I used to wander around the mountains as a child. Because the family is poor, in order to go to school, during the holidays, I often cut firewood in the mountains, and I travel back and forth in the mountains with a weight of 100 catties, but after college, I rarely go up the mountain, and it has been ten years since I calculated carefully. I haven't exercised for a long time, so that it is difficult to climb the mountain today. In order to relax, we had to choose the way of climbing again after arriving at the mountainside parking lot: no longer choose the steep shortcut, but choose the inherent winding and rugged stone steps step by step honestly upward, in addition, we adjust our mentality, no longer blindly only climb up, but while overlooking the scenery on both sides of the Huai River, while abruptly admiring the ink left by the literati along the road, unconsciously we arrived at the top of the mountain in front of the Yuwang Temple.
Yuwang Palace is also known as Yuwang Temple, Tushan Temple. According to legend, Liu Bang pacified the group of heroes to return to the dynasty and passed through Tu Mountain, in order to commemorate the achievements of Dayu in controlling the water, set up a temple here. The temple originally had three entrances, and now there are still two entrances. There are two three-meter-high stone tablets in front of the temple, the east stone tablet is inscribed "Xia Zhixing is also Tu Mountain", and the west stone tablet is inscribed "There is a temple of Xia Huangzu", all of which are from the hands of famous teachers of Peking University. Two mighty lions sit on both sides of the temple gate, and the temple erects the stone inscription of the past dynasties. There are two thousand years of ginkgo biloba in the courtyard, large can be counted, rise from the ground, these two thousand years of ginkgo trees are the oldest cultural relics in the whole Yuwang Temple, perhaps only the two of them have witnessed the historical --- of Yu to control the water
In ancient times, the heavens and the earth were vast, the universe was desolate, and the people suffered from sea flooding. Emperor Yao began to use Yu's father, Kun, to control the floods. Dam is built in the flood and embankment is built in case of water, and the method of "trenching" is adopted, and the water does not stop for nine years. Yao's assistant Xingshun saw Kun's failure to control the water and killed him in Yushan. Shun Mingcang's son Yu continued to control the water. Starting from Jizhou, he traveled all over Kyushu to conduct field investigations, and decided to adopt the method of channeling floods according to the situation. Dayu married his wife. It was only four days after the wedding, and Yu left home to control the water. He left home for thirteen years after marriage, and once passed by the door three times without entering.
Dayu's success in controlling the water, in addition to taking the correct method, there is his "three through the door and not entering" this kind of single-minded for the public, hard-working, not afraid of hardships and dangers, perseverance spirit, another important reason is that he adjusted his mentality, in the case of his father was killed, still dedicated to water control. Looking back on today's mountaineering experience, is it the same, the right method, a good attitude, and a spirit of perseverance?!Looking to the future, does the upcoming business also need the right approach, a good attitude, and a spirit of perseverance?
I silently lit the three pillars of incense, quietly knelt in front of the statue of Dayu, and kowtowed three piously. The cigarette smoke lingers, the bell is melodious, and when I look back at dusk, I suddenly see a new plant growing in the heart of a thousand-year-old ginkgo tree, which seems to be heralding something ---
