In that mountain and sea, I have walked by Jiulong Mountain many times, but I thought it was just an ordinary mountain. In my memory, Zhang Huaishan stands in the context of Daba Mountain, like a clear spring, flowing from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it still flows by today.
But I've been wandering around Zhanghuaishan for many years!
It was in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty that a well-dressed scholar came down from Qinling Mountain and went straight to Bazhou. Under a cliff in Zhanghuaishan, the chief of Bazhou built a blue tile house early. On a two-long platform under the cliff, these two huts are alone beside the stone wall, facing the strong morning light in the east.
The mountain people watched curiously as the scholar entered the house, and then a Taoist priest came here. In the near future, I often hear the scholar recite the South China Classic in the morning light, and occasionally I can see the scholar climb the cliff and look west every day. Maybe he really wanted to see the sunset, but there was more wind and rain on the west wall of the sunset, so the chief could only build the hut in the east, so he had the gown in the sunset and danced on the Liang Shi.
Daba Mountain used to be a Ba people's world. Since the Southern Dynasties, there has been constant agitation of righteous people, and the galloping hoofs used to be a constant haze in Bashu. The tough Ba people couldn't tolerate this cowardly scholar, so they recommended the most tough people to climb the Liang Shi and climb to the front of the cabin along the stone wall. People at the foot of the mountain are waiting to see the drama to be staged, but the scenery is still picturesque, and the smoke from the kitchen rises at night, but the strongman has never come down. People in a panic told the strongman's wife the bad news, and the Bashan girl called her husband's name to the stone hut at night.
In the rush of night, the strongman finally came down and just said to his wife softly, "Go home and find someone to marry! I'm going to follow my husband! " Sir? Who's sir? Before the villagers remembered it, the young man stood in front of them. The young man has since become a legend of Daba Mountain, and the thirteen flying eagles of Bashan Mountain have also given up wandering and lived in seclusion in the pine forest slope of Zhanghuaishan Mountain. Later, the Taoist priest also came out of the hut and set up an academy under the Tiger Jumping Rock to teach the children nearby.
Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Mohism, poetry and calligraphy started to become the clear spring of Daba Mountain, washing the wanton mountains and seas of Wang Yang. From Xi 'an came sericulture and silk weaving technology, and from Chengdu came handwritten volumes of poems and books, and Zhanghuaishan began to become a blessed land of Daba Mountain. Only the young man doesn't seem to be in this happy crowd. He is still reading the South China Classic over and over again in the morning light, and he is still looking west in Liang Shi at sunset.
One day, an official came in a sedan chair and climbed the cliff with difficulty. So people saw the scholar kneeling, kowtowing and laughing. Then people heard that the young man died, along with the Taoist priest who had read a lot of poems, the strongman in Bazhou County and the flying eagle of Bashan Thirteen. Seventy-two people died with the young people, just in line with the seventy-two caves in Zhanghuaishan.
The young man was a prince of the dynasty. After his death, he was given the title of "Xian" by the dynasty. His name was Li Xian, and his name was Zhang Huai. Ten years later, the news was enough to erase any memory, so the people of Daba Mountain took the young people's words and gave the original unnamed mountain a name.
One day after the college entrance examination, I stepped on the historical sites of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and recalled the eternal legend, and climbed the stone wall of Zhanghuaishan. The hut under the stone wall has a new name, called "Prince Cliff". The scattered huts should not be in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the originally sinister mountain road has also been stepped out of a sidewalk by history. The legend of a thousand years can cross any danger.
However, it is still a hard journey to climb the Prince Cliff. There are long worms appearing from time to time on the rugged mountain road. The pines from the pine forest slope roared from the foot of the mountain. Only when I walked through a mile of mountain road with my body attached to the stone cliff did I find myself so devout to the legend.
The legend is not an official history, and there is no textual research, but for Daba Mountain, it is a beautiful illusion. The legendary name is "Prince Counts Mountains": It is said that there is a stone well in Prince Cliff of Zhanghuaishan, and there is a golden doll in the stone well. Every time it is pushed, a lot of gold nuggets fall off. There is a desk and chair next to the grindstone, and there is a gobbledygook on the desk and chair. When the prince reached the bottom of the well one day, he found that the gobbledygook told him to build mountains. If he could count a hundred mountains before the cock crowed on July 7th, the vast mountains and seas would be transformed into the ground. At that time, the prince could officially ascend to the throne, and the gobbledygook also described Zhang Huaishan as the second imperial capital. Legend has it that on the night of "July 7th", the prince counted the mountains all night by moonlight, but there were always only 99, and the last mountain was never found. The cock crowed ten minutes, and the prince gave up his efforts with a sigh. Only after answering the cliff did he find that he had forgotten several chapters of Huaishan Mountain. Shortly after counting the mountains, the prince received the poisoned wine of the dynasty. In desperation, the prince drank it and left.
I was sitting at Taizi Stone's desk, thinking about this sad legend, and the mountains and seas in front of me gradually blurred.
I thought I had touched Zhang Huai's heart when I set foot on the northbound train and crossed the land of China.
I think the prince is the embodiment of cowardice and loyalty. He has the courage to satirize the political affairs in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, but he has no ambition to raise the flag to sin the world. Liu bang set out from Hanzhong to win the world. In fact, the terrain in Bazhong is better than that in Hanzhong, not to mention the natural barrier of Qinling Mountains. The mountains and seas of Daba Mountain are an excellent barrier for Wang Sheng to live in the world. It is not difficult to raise a flag to number the world in the name of benevolence and righteousness of Zhang Huai and the title of the prince. But the prince held "South China" in his hand, leaving a cowardly legend for Daba Mountain.
I don't know if it's because of the Prince that Daba Mountain has enjoyed a prosperous style of writing since the Tang Dynasty. It seems that Ba people, who are famous for their modesty, have gradually disappeared since the Tang Dynasty. The high school I attended was founded in Tongzhi for six years. Originally named Yunping Academy, it stood beside a sandbar washed by Bahe River. According to the descendants of the original founder, the family once benefited from the style of writing in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and gathered several children to carry the road in the courtyard, hoping to rebuild the pillars for Daba Mountain. Nowadays, in the depths of Daba Mountain, there are "Prince Temple" and "Reading Cave" from time to time, which seem to be the pearls in the mountains and seas.
poor mountains don't forget their country with their bodies, but they practice loyalty with their flesh and blood. Bashan's inexhaustible thought of saving the country for thousands of years can be proved. Not far from Zhanghuaishan is Linlang Mountain, on the maan town at the foot of Linlang Mountain, Marshal Zhu De walked out from here. At the foot of Xita Mountain not far from Zhanghuaishan, Mr. Yan Yangchu, who has been engaged in civilian education all his life, should have benefited from this. After the Red Fourth Army arrived in Bazhong, nearly one million mountain people joined the road of saving the country.
When I'm down and out, when I'm singing happily, I always think of the majestic Zhang Huaishan! In the majestic mountains and seas, there is also that melancholy beautiful boy, looking straight at me with his eyes!
there is also a place where Lao Tzu seems to have died.
