Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou is a wonderful place in the world. However, since ancient times, there has been no writing. Among the auspicious symbols, Yuqing Palace was built and the mountain was cut down to make materials. Only some people have seen it, but it is not famous yet. According to the Records of the Western Regions, Alao 'nao lived in the Records of the Wild Goose in the Sinian, Furong Peak and the southeast of Dragon Ball. Tang Priest Guan Xiu wrote Nuo Moment Rozan, didn't he? Wild geese swing over the clouds and deserts, and the dragon feast is rainy? Sentence. There is Furong Peak in the south of this mountain, and there is Furong Hill under the peak, which overlooks the sea, but I don't know where Yandang and Longqiao are. I saw this mountain after logging. There is a big pool at the top of the mountain, which is said to be a wild goose swing. There are two pools of water under it, which are thought to be dragons. There are also those who have crossed the gorge and returned to the peak, all named after Guan Xiu's poems. Xie Lingyun has been guarding Yongjia and traveled all over the landscape of Yongjia, but he didn't talk about this mountain alone. Gai didn't have the name of Wild Goose Swing at that time.
Look at the peaks of Yandang Mountain, all of which are steep and steep. There are many thousands of feet, and the huge valleys on the cliffs are all wrapped in valleys, unlike other mountains. From the outside of the ridge, nothing can be seen, but in the valley, it is new and dry. The reason is that the valley is flooded, the sand is gone, and only the boulder stands. Such as big and small dragons, water curtain, early moon valley, etc. , are all holes made by water. From the bottom, there are high cliffs; Seen from above, it is suitable for the ground. Even the top of the mountain is lower than the top of the mountain. There is a niche for planting soil and this kind of ear in the gully where water is cut in the world. In today's Chengdu-Gaoshan, Shaanxi-Dajianhe, the earth stands and moves a hundred feet. It stands tall, but it is also concrete and small, but this soil is a stone ear. Not out of the ground, but covered by the deep valley Lin Mang, so the ancients didn't see it, and the spiritual luck couldn't reach it, which was unreasonable.

Yandang Mountain is a strange and beautiful mountain in the world, but it has never been mentioned in the geographical atlas since ancient times. During the Xiang Fu period in the Song Dynasty, Yuqing Palace was built, and it was only when the mountains were cut. At this time, it doesn't even have the name of a mountain. According to books in the western regions, there lived a Lohan named Luo Nuoju at the Dragon Bridge of Furong Peak in Yandang Mountain on the southeast coast of China. Nuoju Rozan, written by Guan Xiu, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, is also included? Wild geese swing over the clouds and deserts, and the dragon feast is rainy? This poem. There is Furong Peak in the south of this mountain, and Furong Hill is under the peak. Looking ahead, you can overlook the sea. However, people at that time did not know where Yandang and Longqiu were. Later, people began to see the mountain because of logging. There is a big pool on the top of the mountain, which is regarded as the legendary wild goose swing; There are two pools at the foot of the mountain, thinking they are big and small dragons. As for the gorge and the peak, they are all named after Guan Xiu's poems. When Xie Lingyun, a poet of the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, was appointed as the magistrate of Yongjia, he almost traveled all over the landscape of Yongjia, but he didn't talk about this Yandang Mountain because there was no such name at that time.
I observe these peaks of Yandang Mountain, which are steep, high, straight, steep and strange. They stand up, about thousands of feet high, with high cliffs and huge valleys, unlike other mountains. Many of its peaks are contained in the surrounding valleys. Looking at these peaks from outside to inside, you can't see anything; Only when you walk into the valley can you see them towering into the sky. The cause of formation should be the result of being washed away by the flood water in the valley. All the sand was washed away, leaving only these upright boulders. As for the dragons, water curtains, the first moon valley and so on, they are all caves washed by water. Seen from below, these peaks are towering rock cliffs; Seen from above, the peaks in the valley are as high as the surrounding mountains, even lower than the ground of the surrounding mountains. Where streams and valleys in the world are washed away by water, there are towering soil layers and rocks like shrines, all of which belong to this situation and have the same causes. Today, in the mountains and streams west of Shaanxi, the vertical soil layer often reaches hundreds of feet and stands tall, which can be regarded as the similar shape of the smaller Yandang Mountain, but here is loess and there is stone. Because many peaks of Yandang Mountain are not standing on the ground, but covered by deep valleys and old forests, the ancients did not see them, so it is not surprising that Xie Lingyun has never been there.
Brief introduction of the author
Shen Kuo is an outstanding scientist and scholar in the history of our country. He wrote a lot in his life, with unique opinions and profound knowledge. Meng Qian Bi Tan is a brilliant and immortal masterpiece he left to the world.
Shen Kuo (103 1- 1095) was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou). Living in the Northern Song Dynasty, he became a master of Shuyang County at the age of 24 and a scholar at the age of 33. As we all know, every county magistrate and manager joined the army. Bachelor of Hanlin, secretary, secretary of Guanglu Temple, Ji Xiang (finance minister) and other official positions. In June of the sixth year of Xining (1073), he was ordered to study the farmland on Liangzhu Road. Water conservancy, officers and other things, and visit. In April of the following year, he visited Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou, Taiwan Province and other states in eastern Zhejiang. ? Yandang Mountain in Wenzhou is a wonderful place in the world. ? This is his praise and summary of Yandang, whose peaks, waterfalls, valleys and mysterious scenery touched him. While observing and visiting Yandang, Shen Kuo learned about the development history of Yandang. In Meng Qian Bi Tan? The article "Yandang Mountain" contains the praise of Tang Priest Guan Xiu to Nuoxiangluo. Wild geese swing through the clouds and desert, and the dragon feast sits in the rain. ? Wild goose mountain? Jingxing gorge? 、? Sitting at the top? They are all named after Guan Xiu's poems. It is pointed out that in Song Xiangfu, Yandang Mountain was gradually discovered and understood by people because of the construction of Yuqing Palace to collect wood in the mountains.
Shen Kuo's observation of things does not stop at perceptual knowledge, but improves to rational knowledge stage through analysis. He observed the special landform of Yandang Mountain very carefully, and wrote in Meng Qian's pen talk? "Say, Yandang Mountain? The peaks in Yandang are steep and steep, towering over thousands of feet, cliffs and huge valleys. Unlike other mountains, they are all surrounded by valleys. Looking out from the ridge, you can't see anything. When we reached the valley, the forest dried up. The reason is that the valley is flooded, the sand is gone, and only the boulder stands. Such as dragon washing, water curtain, early moon valley, etc. , are all holes cut by water. From the bottom, the high rock cliffs, from the top, are suitable for the ground level, even the top of the mountain is lower than the top of the mountain. There are niches for planting soil where water is dug in gullies in the world, and so on. ? And immediately think of it? Today, in the cave of Shaanxi, the earth stands and moves a hundred feet, standing upright, but it is also concrete and tiny, but it is on the other side. ? This scientific conclusion is a pioneer in the theoretical study of geology and topography in China. This conclusion is relatively scientific, and it is still brilliant today when modern science is highly developed. In western European geological circles, until 1788, the so-called father of modern geology, the Englishman Gauteng put forward the viewpoint of erosion in his book On the Earth, which was more than 600 years later than Shen Kuo, showing the wisdom of our great Chinese nation.
Shen Kuo engaged in political activities all his life and did many useful practical things for the people. On the one hand, it is scientific research, astronomy, mathematics, calendar, geography, biology, literature, history and music. Archaeology and other disciplines have made outstanding contributions. He is a rare generalist in the history of our country and the world, isn't he? The most outstanding figure in the whole history of science in China? . 1 July, 9791day, the Purple Mountain Observatory of China Academy of Sciences named the asteroid #2027 as? Shen Kuo? . His book Meng Qian Bi Tan is respected by the world, and Professor Needham of Cambridge University in England calls it? Coordinates in the history of science in China? .
When Shen Kuo visited Yandang Mountain, he left a title in Longbi Cave. This is the Levin Cave in Nanmingshan, Lishui. Another cliff stone carving after the title of Shimen Cave in Qingtian is a very precious material. Famous mountains and wild geese are also more radiant.
