Xu Xiake’s poems about Yandang Mountain 1. Xu Xiake’s travel notes on Yandang Mountain
Too many to post /gadian/ xuxiake/ 1. "Travel Notes on Yandang Mountain" Yandang Mountain was called Yanshan in the province and is now called Yandang Mountain.
There is a depression with water and grass growing on the top of the mountain. Therefore, it is called "Dang". It is said that many returning geese stay here in autumn, and the mountain is also named Yandang Mountain.
Its mountains are located in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, and are divided into three sections: south, middle and north. North Yandang Mountain has the largest area. Lingfeng, Lingyan and Tailongqiu are the three most beautiful scenery in Yandang. This diary records a trip to the Northern Yandang Mountains, and all three of its wonders are described.
This note mainly describes what the author saw along the way to Beiyandang Mountain. The record describes in detail the three main landscapes of Beiyandang Mountain: Lingfeng, Lingyan, and Dalongqiu, as well as many subtle wonders such as Longbi Water, Lao Monk Rock, and Duxiu Peak.
The story has clear layers and sharp language, especially the mastery of subtle differences in mountain shape and water potential. The description of the scene is not a separate description of the scene, but it is greatly integrated into the subjective feelings of the observer. It doubles the sense of reality when reading, and its artistic appeal is also strengthened. Especially the two diaries on the 13th and 14th, the words are beautiful and concrete. Concrete, both scene and emotion.
We left Taishan on the ninth day of the lunar month and arrived at Huangyan on the tenth day of the lunar month. The sun is already west, thirty miles from the south gate, and we stay in Ba'ao aò.
Twenty miles on the 11th, we climbed Panshan Ridge. Looking at the peaks of Yanshan Mountain, hibiscus reaches into the sky and touches people's eyebrows.
Twenty miles further, we reach Dajing Station. Crossing a stream in the south, I saw round stones on the west peak. The slaves pointed out that it was a two-headed tuo, and I suspected that it was Lao Monk Rock, but it was not very similar.
After five miles, after passing Zhangjia Tower, I saw the old monk’s true face: He was standing tall in cassocks, bald, and almost a hundred feet high. On the side, there is a little boy hunched behind, his ears covered by the old monk.
Two miles from Zhanglou, half way up the mountain is Shiliang Cave. The cave door faces east, and there is a beam at the door, which is inserted diagonally from the top to the ground, like a flying rainbow hanging down.
Going up from the middle level of the beam side gap, it is high and open. Sit down for a while and go down the mountain.
Cross Xiegong Ridge from the right foot, cross a stream, and follow the stream to the west, which is the Lingfeng Road. Turning around the mountain's armpit, the two steep walls stand up to the sky, and the dangerous peaks pile up randomly, as if they are cut or piled, like parallel bamboo shoots, like upright sesame, like a pen standing upright, or like a turban with its head tilted.
The mouth of the cave is like a rolling curtain, and the pool is as green as indigo. Shuangluan and Wu Lao, pressing their wings together on their shoulders.
After such a long journey, we arrived at Lingfeng Temple. Climb Lingfeng Cave to the side of the temple.
The peak is hollow. Behind the special temple, there is a gap on the side to enter. There are dozens of levels from the gap to the cave at the top of the cave.
The valley is far and wide, but the platform is round and open, with various images of Arhats in it. Sit and play until the dusk comes, then return to the temple.
On the 12th, after dinner, we looked for Bixiao Cave from the right toe of Lingfeng Peak. Return to the old road and arrive at the foot of Xiegong Ridge.
Pass Xiangyan in the south for five miles to the intersection of Jingming Temple. Entering the Mi Shui Lian Valley, there are two cliffs sandwiched between each other, and water floats down from the top of the cliff.
Five miles from the valley to Lingyan Temple. The cliffs are in four directions, the sky is splitting the ground, and the twists and turns are like opening up a new world.
The temple is located in it, facing south and facing away from Pingxiazhang. The top of the mountain is as high and dangerous as a barrier and is purple in color. It is hundreds of feet high and is also called wide.
The southernmost part of the mountain is Zhanqi Peak on the left and Tianzhu Peak on the right. On the right side of the mountain between the Tianzhu, there is the dragon's nose water first.
The Dragon's Nose Cave rises straight up from the stone crevice and is as small as the Lingfeng Cave. The stones in the cave are all yellow and purple in color, with a single stone pattern in the hole. They are cyanotic, red and green in color, and look like scales and claws.
It penetrates from the top to the bottom of the cave, and hangs down like a nose. The hole at the nose end can accommodate a finger, and water drips from the inside into the stone basin. This is the first wonder on the right side of the mountain.
To the southwest is the Solitary Beauty Peak, which is smaller than the Tianzhu but equally sharp. Below Duxiu is Zhuo Bifeng, which is half Duxiu and Rui.
The person who suddenly fell down in the south col of the two peaks was Xiaolong Qiu. Opposite Longqiu and Duxiu is Jade Girl Peak.
There are spring flowers on the top, just like a bun. From then on, it passes the double Luan and reaches the top of the Tianzhu. Two peaks rise together at the end of Shuangluan. There is a "monk worshiping stone" between the peaks, and his cassock is bent and small.
From the left side of the mountain, between Zhanqi, there is Anchan Valley, which is the rock under Pingxia. In the southeast is a stone screen, shaped like a screen of clouds, with half of the height and width, and the end of the screen is inserted into the screen.
There is a "toad stone" on the top of the screen, facing the "jade turtle" on the side of the mountain. The screen goes to the south, and in the folds of the side of the flag, there is a line that goes straight up, where the steps end, and is bounded by a stone threshold.
Looking over the threshold, there is no land below, and there are caves above. There are two round holes on the outside and a long hole on the side. Light enters from the hole. It is a unique place. It is called Tiancong Cave, which is the first wonder on the left side of the mountain.
The sharp peaks are stacked on top of each other, circling to the left and right, full of ingenuity, it is truly a wonder of the world! And Xiaolongqiu flows downstream, passing by Tianzhu and Zhanqi, with a bridge across it and the mountain gate next to it. Outside the bridge, there is perlite at the foot of the Tianzhu, and Mount Everest is on top of the flag.
This is also the appearance of Lingyan. On the 13th, I walked out of the mountain gate and followed the foothills to the right. Along the way, the cliffs were jagged and the flowing clouds reflected the colors.
The ones that are tall and spread out are Banzhang rocks. The rock standing dangerously with sharp edges is called Little Scissor Peak.
More forward, on top of Chongyan, there is a peak reaching into the sky, which is Guanyin Rock. On the rock side, Ma'anling lies across the front.
Bird Road describes a dangerous road with twists and turns. Turn right after passing the col, the stream is hot and the rocks at the bottom of the stream are as flat as gouges. Go deep along the stream, about ten miles to Lingyan, and pass Changyun Peak, where you will find Big Scissor Peak standing next to the stream.
To the north of the scissors, the heavy rock rises steeply, which is called Lianyun Peak. From then on, the rock is exhausted.
The Longqiu Waterfall crashes down into the pool. The rocks are open and steep, and the water has nothing to catch. It floats in the air, making people dizzy and frightened. There is a hall on the pool, which is said to be the place where Nuozhenjùna watched the spring.
The level behind the hall goes straight up, and there is a pavilion. I sat there for a long time in front of the waterfall. In the dining nunnery, the rain was thin and the drizzle kept falling, but I was already flying to the top of Yanhu Lake.
Then we braved the rain to reach Changyun Peak. From the outside of the pine cave halfway from the peak, we climbed three miles to Baiyun Temple. The nunnery was empty, and a man was standing in the grass. When he saw the guests coming, he looked around.
After entering another mile, there is Yunjing Temple, where I want to stay. The Taoist lived in seclusion and had been bedridden for decades, but he could still talk and laugh with his guests.
I saw the clouds and rain in the four mountains being miserable, and I couldn’t help but worry about the coming morning. On the 14th, the sky suddenly became clear, so Qiang Qing was guided by hermits.
Qingyin said that the lake was full of grass and had become a barren field. There was no other way to go, but it could be sent to the top of the mountain. I thought that when I reached the top, I could sit on the lake, so I grabbed a stick and climbed into the deep grass. I took a breath every step of the way for several miles before reaching the top.
Looking around at the white clouds, a blur of color spreads out under the peak. There are many peaks, only one peak is exposed, and the sunlight reflects on it, like a curling kettle in the Yao world, unable to distinguish between sea and land.
Just a jade ring in the sea, if you can look down and pick it up. Looking to the north, the mountain col stands on a wall, with dense stalagmites inside.
Surrounded by green cliffs on three sides, it is even better than Lingyan. But the valley is so secluded that I can only hear the gurgling sound of water, but I can't tell where it is.
Looking around, there are numerous peaks and hills, which are like hills and hills. But the east peak rises proudly and stands alone. The Changyun in the east is as tall as one's shoulders. The leader resigned and pointed out that the lake was at the west axillary peak and had to be crossed to the third peak.
I followed it, and when I got to the top, the road was dead; when I got to the top, I reached the top halfway up. I read the "Zhi" saying: "When it hangs on the top of the mountain, the water of Longqiu comes from it."
Now the mountain is gradually descending, and the stream of Qiuqiu rises from the east peak and flows out. This is two days old.

"Inscribed on Yandang Mountain"
Era: Song Dynasty Author: Fan Zongyin
A walk into the secluded world , lingering around with the mountain. The cloud trees are deep and verdant, and the rocky stream is gurgling.
When I arrived, the spring scenery was late, and the mountain flowers were so numerous. A good bird is unknown and shuts itself off to people.
Leave me alone to invent something new, and forget about tiredness and difficulty in discussion. Long Qiu's faith is amazing, flying springs fall into the clouds.
Tens of thousands of dendrobium beads are shed quickly, and the frost and snow are cold. Wherever the Venerable is walking, the vegetation must not be stinging.

The high hall is extremely empty and bright, where you can relax for a moment. The end of this trip is a mountain, and I must return it when the mountain is poor.

8. Contents of Xu Xiake's "A Journey to Yandang Mountain"
One day before the mid-autumn festival in Guihai, I entered Yanshan Mountain, but it was reversed two days later. There were many ancient ruins that could not be explored. The color of the mountains and walls is something that has never been seen before. Bao's nephew Kong Xun asked: "Remember it?" Yu said: "This mountain cannot be remembered."
Yong and Liu mountains are hills and valleys in the desolate hills; Zihou was relegated to live in a quiet place. Looking to send the sun and the moon away, so the song can be described in its entirety. If it is a mountain, it is a knot of mountains and seas in the east and west of Zhejiang. It is strange and steep, and the ones with strange shapes are actually large and numerous. If you want to engrave and paint them, and seek their likeness, the appearance and color of the mountains and walls are the same as those of famous mountains. , there is no other way to distinguish it from the rocks and ravines of Zishan Mountain; while the rest are unique to Zishan Mountain:
What we have seen before is such as the Fushan Mountain in Anhui, the Sheshan Mountain in Jinling, and the Lin'an Mountain. Feilai Peak's cliffs and caves are not without beauty. Many foolish monks chiseled out the faces of immortals and Buddhas, while laymen carved their names and poems on their own. They appear like wounds to the human eye, and this mountain alone completes its ancient appearance. Until now. The wall is built thousands of feet high and cannot be climbed; it is also far away, and the rich and powerful have no reason to come, and even if they come, they cannot stay for a long time. The doves are built to mark the walls, so they will not be humiliated by the carvings of foolish monks and laymen.
Moreover, the bright mountains and rivers can make tourists happy and joyful; but the mountains and rocks are deep and cut, and those who look up and look down will not notice it with a solemn, respectful and upright heart. At this point, all feelings are gone and all thoughts are dark, but my original heart is connected with the spirit of heaven and earth.
Looking at these two things, we can see that the monks' learning of staying involved in the world and the way of saints and sages to become themselves and things can be seen.
A trial translation is as follows:
On the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Guihai year, I went to visit Yandang Mountain and spent two days before returning. Most of the ancient monuments in the mountains are deserted, covered by overgrown vegetation and cannot be explored or visited. The shape of the peaks and cliff scenery of Yandang Mountain are completely different from the places I have been to before. My nephew Bao Kongxun said: "Why not write a travelogue?" I replied: "This mountain cannot be recorded."
The mountains in Yongzhou and Liuzhou are just small ravines in deserted places. Liu Zongyuan He was demoted to Juyong and Liu, and spent his days searching for secluded places, so he used all the words and phrases to describe them.
The Yandang Mountain is winding in the southeast corner of Zhejiang. It is deep and steep, steep and dangerous, and has many strangely shaped peaks. If we have to use words to describe Yandang, we can only describe the scenery of Yandang as being similar to other famous mountains, but cannot show its unique features. And I think there are two unique features of Yandang.
The mountains I have seen before, such as Fushan in Tongcheng, Anhui, Qixia Mountain in Nanjing, and Feilaifeng in Hangzhou, are not unattractive. The cliff caves on their peaks are not unattractive. They are the ones that stupid monks like to carve on the mountains. The appearance of immortals and Buddhas, those vulgar celebrities like to carve their names and poems on them, these carved and carved mountains are as miserable as scars. Yandang Mountain alone can maintain the original appearance of the mountain. This is because Yandang Mountain has thousands of walls that cannot be climbed easily, and it is located in a remote place. Rich and powerful people generally will not come here without special reasons. Even if they come, they will not stay for a long time and spend time and money to show I "came here for a visit", which is why Yandang Mountain has never been insulted by the foolish monks and laymen who peeled it off and chiseled it.
Beautiful and bright mountains and rivers can make tourists happy. However, the rock walls of Yandang Mountain are deeply cut, so you need to look up sometimes and look down sometimes. While pitching, a feeling of solemnity and tranquility can't help but arise. Once this is done, all distractions and worries in the world will disappear, and the original mind will begin to connect with the spirit of heaven and earth.
Knowing these two points, then the knowledge of noble people and the methods of saints and sages to achieve success can be obtained and understood.
