Let's review a myth first. According to "Astronomical Training of Huainanzi", it is recorded: "The former workers fought with Zhuan Xu for the emperor, but they were angry and failed to reach the mountain. Tianzhu is broken, but the land is scarce. The sky leans to the northwest, so the sun, the moon and the stars move, and the land is not satisfied with the southeast, so the water and dust return. " The water god * * * is a descendant of Emperor Yan, and has many contradictions with the Huangdi family. After Emperor Zhuan Xu took over the control of the universe, the rebellious gods chose * * * to work as their allies and formed an army to raid the Kyoto Kingdom. A fierce battle began, and Emperor Zhuan Xu's troops killed more and more. * * * Workers' troops killed less and less, and ran to the foot of Zhoushan Mountain in the northwest, leaving only 13 riders around. * * * workers lifted up his eyes, the mountain abrupt, indomitable spirit, blocking the way. This mountain is actually a huge pillar supporting the sky. He let out an angry cry in despair and ran into the island desperately, only to hear a loud noise. The mountain that supported the sky was unexpectedly stopped by him and collapsed. The sky in the northwest lost its support and tilted downward, so that the sun, moon and stars tied to the northern zenith could no longer stand in their original positions, and involuntarily broke free from the shackles and slipped toward the low-inclined western sky, which made the running route of the sun, moon and stars we see today. On the other hand, the giant rope hanging in the southeast corner of the earth was broken by violent vibration, and the southeast land collapsed, resulting in the scene that we see today that the terrain is high in the northwest, low in the southeast, rivers flow eastward and hundreds of rivers return to the sea. Visible * * * workers' anger, earth-shattering, sun, moon and stars transposition, rivers flowing into the sea, its anger is extremely angry.
The word "Anger" runs through the word "Manjianghong", which is exactly the same as the word "Anger" in "* * * public anger can't touch the mountain". The poet wanted to draw out the anger of the ancient great god by "the lack of Helan Mountain" and express his anger to the extreme, reaching the highest state of anger-"the anger of not surrounding the mountain". Coincidentally, in the lyrics describing Wu Sangui's introduction of the Qing army into Shanhaiguan, later generations said that "it is beautiful to be angry with the crown", that is, to quote the meaning of Man Jianghong's "anger with the crown", indicating that the degree of anger is comparable to that of the famous Yue Fei.
The poet was in the background of "the shame of Jingkang, the snow has not yet fallen". Hui and Qin Ersheng were taken away by the Jin people, a large area of land was lost, and their compatriots were bullied. As a courtier and patriotic soldier in the Song Dynasty, he shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the country. It goes without saying that he was so humiliated and angry. At this moment, his anger is comparable to * * * fighting for the emperor, defeated and untouchable in Zhoushan. Consistently, it expresses the author's determination to meet the two saints and his attitude to defend the territorial integrity of the country.
However, where is the mountain touched by workers? This is a controversial topic in academic circles. The description in Shan Hai Jing and Xiye Jing that "there is a wild corner and a disharmonious mountain outside the northwest sea, which is called Zhou Zhou" is just confirmed by the fact that the steep canyon of Helan Mountain can connect the desolate north with the rich mainland. Helan Mountain is located at the junction of temperate desert and temperate desert grassland, and it is also the watershed of northwest inflow area and outflow area. There are many rock paintings in the valley, the age can not be verified, the composition is strange and the image is grotesque: there are both individual images and combined pictures; There are not only people and faces, but also symbols of animals, celestial bodies and plants and symbols with unclear meanings. Many rock paintings are consistent with the rare birds and animals described in The Classic of Mountains and Seas, and it can be concluded that Helan Mountain is the sacred mountain of ancient people in China-Tianzhu Buzhoushan Mountain.
To sum up, the real meaning of Helan Mountain in Manjianghong is not the entity coordinates on the anti-Golden Road. Before the Southern Song Dynasty, it was generally believed that Helan Mountain was the Tianzhu Mountain that workers angrily touched, thus revealing the mystery of "the mountain is not around" that puzzled many scholars.
