Longquan is the name of the sword and the name of the mountain. The sword's energy penetrates the rainbow; the mountain's energy penetrates the ears like thunder.
When it comes to the history of Longquan Mountain, I really don’t know where to start. The history of a mountain is closely related to the area in which it is located. Longquan Mountain is located in the center of Yuyao City. It rises abruptly from the plains. The mountain is nearly 70 meters high. In ancient times, it was an island in the sea, so it was once named Yushan. There is a river winding through Yuyao, named Yaojiang. The ancient name of Yaojiang River is Shunshui, and it is said to be related to Shun. There used to be a small mountain on the riverside called Secret Map, which was the secret place of the maps used by Dayu to control floods in ancient times. The famous historian Professor Shi Shuqing once named Yuyao - "Yao Ruins Historic Sites". In this way, Yuyao’s history is really long and far-reaching. Ancient Yuyao also became the ancient Longquan Mountain.
Longquan Mountain is a historical mountain, a cultural mountain and a poetic mountain.
Longquan Mountain is named after a well on the mountainside - Longquan Well. It is said that this is a stone crack spring. The water comes from Siming Mountain, flows through cracks in the underground layer, and flows to Longquan Mountain. The water is as green as a cat's eye and continues all year round. It is said that King Kang (Gaozong of the Song Dynasty), who fled south and returned, once visited this mountain to drink water. He felt that the spring water was sweet, so he took a small hole to draw water and left. He said that the spring was good and the scenery was better. Local officials were credited with building the "Better Pavilion." It was impossible for him to have such interest in order to escape for his life while being chased by the golden soldiers. And once you are out of danger and will rule the world, you will definitely have a different feeling in your heart when you reflect on the journey of escape.
Landscapes always emerge in leisurely times, and so does beauty. Just as the sage Wang Yangming once gave lectures on this mountain said: "When you don't look at the flower, the flower and your heart are silent together. When you look at the flower, the color of the flower becomes clear for a while." Let's talk about it with our thoughts. Flowers always exist objectively whether you see them or not. However, whether you "understand" flowers or not requires a certain mood. Just like King Kang who was on the run and King Kang who survived the disaster, they both saw Longquan Mountain, the same Longquan Mountain. , but is it really the same?
There is a special scenic spot on Longquan Mountain - the Loyal Sacrifice Platform. It is said that during the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Qiu, a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, was killed by the eunuch Wang Zhen. Yao Jiang invited his comrades in cloth clothes to cut chickens and make wine. They used the top stone as a sacrificial table and offered sacrifices to Liu Qiu with tears in his eyes. Later, people put this piece of The stone is called Zhongtai. This is the character of Yaojiang people. I recall that when the ancient Confucian Huang Zongxi chased and stabbed the eunuch Liu Jin with an iron awl hidden in his sleeve in the imperial court, he was so powerful that he shocked both the government and the public.
The history of Longquan Mountain is rugged and proud. This is the magnanimity of the mountain and the soul of Longquan.
Longquan Mountain is a mountain with profound cultural heritage.
Enter the south gate of Longquan Mountain Park and go up the stairs. Halfway up the mountain, you can see the huge plaque "Literary Famous Country" written by Weng Qinglong, a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. Going further, you will reach the "Stele of the Hometowns of the Four Sages". , which was built by later generations to commemorate the four Yuyao sages, Yan Ziling, Wang Yangming, Zhu Shunshui and Huanglizhou. Wang Yangming, a master of psychology, and Huang Zongxi, a giant of history in eastern Zhejiang, were both giants of the era with far-reaching historical influence during the Ming and Qing dynasties. "The clouds and mountains are green, the rivers are turbulent, and the wind of the master is high. The mountains are high and the rivers are long." Fan Zhongyan, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, praised Yan Ziling in his poem for his "high moral integrity and integrity". His story is like the brightest star in the sky, penetrating history and illuminating the future. Zhu Shunshui, known as the "Victorious Guest", is not only the defender of national integrity, but also the messenger of Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges.
Zhongtian Pavilion, located on the south mountainside, was once the lecture place of Mr. Wang Shouren (Wang Yangming), so it is also called Yangming Academy. It was built in the Five Dynasties and was based on the poem "The weather is refreshing in the middle and the stars are near" by the Tang poet Fang Qian. Named after meaning. Mr. Yangming lectured at Longquan Mountain, and students from Yuyao and nearby areas came to attend the lectures in an endless stream, which made the Yaojiang academic style increasingly strong, and ultimately established the prominent position of the "Yaojiang School" in China at that time, and played a major role in the formation of the enlightenment thought of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. , development has had a great impact.
There is an ancient temple named Longquan at the southern foot of Longquan Mountain. This temple was built in the second year of Xiankang (AD 336) of Emperor Cheng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, only 10 years later than the "Lingyin Temple" in Hangzhou. It really has a long history. The role of a temple is not only a Buddhist place, but also a cultural gathering place. Needless to say, the penetration of traditional Chinese culture into Buddhism is undeniable, and the attainments of eminent monks in classical studies are even more unfathomable. Buddhism is philosophy, and eminent monks are masters of philosophy. The existence of Longquan Temple adds a unique style to Longquan Mountain.
Longquan Mountain is a poetic mountain.
Dongpo layman may not have been to Longquan Mountain, but after hearing about the reputation of Longquan, he wrote a poem, "Longquan Shijing is sweeter than milk" to praise the clear and sweet spring water in Longquan Well.
Wang Anshi, a famous prime minister in the Northern Song Dynasty and the magistrate of Yin County at the time, visited Longquan Mountain many times at the invitation of Xie Jingchu, the magistrate of Yuyao County. He wrote two poems about "Shijing", one of which said: "The stone well on the mountainside has been moist for thousands of years, and the spring in the sea has no water." One day it's dry. All the people in the world are waiting for the rain, and they don't know where the dragon is." Of course, Wang Anshi's more famous poem about Longquan Mountain is - "The mountains are like blue clouds rolling away, and the water is like the blue sky illuminating the eyes." Come and live here, don’t worry about going to the upper city. "Both "Shijing" and "Bo Yaojiang" both reflect the famous "view of the common people". There is a saying that "all the old and young come to the south, and the southerners have nothing to eat for half a year." ("Hebei People") has a deep sense of urgency.
Fang Qian, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his "Poetry on the Top of Climbing Longquan Mountain": "You can see the sun on the bottom of the sea before it is clear, and it has been a long time since the rooster announced the morning. The ancient trees are full of wind and often bring rain, and the cold rocks only know spring in April. "The weather in the middle is cool and the stars are close, and the lower world is full of thunder and rain. I can't stop thinking about it, and the people who come and go change every year." It has a unique philosophical meaning.
The "Poetry of Recalling Longquan Mountain" written by Wang Yangming, a native of Yi, even more expresses his unique feelings for Longquan Mountain. The poem says: "I love Longquan Mountain. The mountain monks are quite wild. They sit on the railing of the well all day long, and sometimes they lie under the pine trees. I leave Yunshan one night, and travel with horses and horses for three years. I am ashamed to kill the spring under the rock, and it clears the water day and night."
As I walked along, I saw: strange rocks everywhere, strange and rugged; ancient trees, staggered, strong and lush; pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions, scattered in an orderly manner. Climb to the top of Longquan and overlook Yao City. The scenery is picturesque and has a panoramic view: Yao River winds eastward like a swimming dragon, sparkling in the sun; Siming peaks and ridges are verdant and continuous; urban construction is changing with each passing day, and you can feel the progress of development. charm.
A mountain that witnesses the history of the city. In the center of this ancient and vibrant city, it is calm and graceful, carrying thousands of years of historical accumulation and looking into the distant future...
