Xiujinshan is located in Jinshan Township. The mountain winds from east to west, high in the west and low in the east. It is like a curved arm, stretching for 2.5 kilometers, with an altitude of 1955 meters. It is the most famous scenic spot in the northeast of Gangu. There are white temples at the top and bottom of the mountain. The temple at the top of the mountain is in the earthen castle, and the temple at the foot of the mountain is built according to the situation, with regular architectural pattern and considerable scale. Niu Bo, who was born and raised in China, wrote "Xiujinshan freehand brushwork", which is quite meaningful in writing mountain scenery and humanities.
Xiujinshan is located in Jinshan Township, Gangu County, with high mountains and steep slopes, ranking second in Weibei. On the endless loess high slope, such a mountain with different styles and independent world suddenly appeared, which made the majestic high sky and thick soil present a vivid reality. At this time, the beautiful Jinshan, much like a colorful rockhopper, has a touching charm and the word "show", which is unique.
This is the true color of Xiujinshan. Look at this mountain, the tall and straight cypress trees are spreading wildly, just like a giant pen dipped in thick ink, writing something on the vast blue sky. The apricot trees, which are densely covered, undoubtedly add a bit of poetry to the lush mountains. These trees, one after another, are masterpieces of nature. The strong northwest wind not only shaped their outstanding personality, but also shaped their various shapes. These trees bend, twist, roll or twist, and even sing and sigh. None of the trunks are straight, and none of the branches are open. A tree is a unique shape, which embodies the passion and ingenious charm of nature. Every year in late spring, the trees are full of apricot flowers. The apricot trees next to it bloom like clouds, clouds and snow. Seen from a distance, this mountain is possessed, like a girl's blushing face, like a fairy in Qiong Yao's costume, and more like a simple young woman. The cypress trees dotted with them are naturally flower protectors, tall and proud, but a little more immature. When the breeze blows, flowers bloom ten miles away, and petals like clouds and snow will become overwhelming petal rain. At this time, the beautiful Jinshan is graceful and full of customs, and even the wild flowers and weeds under the tree will make life happy and confident.
There is an old castle at the top of Xiujin Mountain. It is difficult to prove when the castle was built, but it is well preserved and should be regarded as the highlight of the castle. If Xiujinshan is a colorful rockhopper, then this castle is the pearl on the rockhopper. This seemingly unintentional coincidence undoubtedly adds some harmony to Xiu Jinshan's creation. I have used many words such as wind knife and rain whip, rain washing and wind grinding, vicissitudes of life in my article, but what really knows and understands their profound connotation is a trip to Xiushan. Mr. Wang Yonggang, the secretary of the township party committee who accompanied me, is high flyers from the History Department of Normal University. After walking around the fortress for a week, he specially drew my attention to the fortress walls in the north and west. The wall is erected, and the rammed soil layer is so clear and symmetrical. The whole wall really looks like someone has polished it with fine sandpaper or washed it with water, but it is not made by manpower, and it is a masterpiece of adhering to the northwest wind. In front of this seemingly exquisite masterpiece, my soul and whole emotion were completely shocked by the power of years, and the heaviness of life and the vicissitudes of years completely enveloped me. What is history? What is the trace of time and what is the witness of time? From this wall, can we not arouse many feelings about nature, life, fleeting time and years? Man's life is too limited, floating between heaven and earth is really a drop in the ocean. When all cosmetics are defeated by the truth of nature, what should we use to save our aging hearts, or let our hearts hold the truth of this castle wall?
In Xiujinshan, I thought of a person, a practitioner of saving the country by industry, an educator and a monk. He is Mr. Stanley Ho of Jinshan, who enjoys a high reputation in Gansu. How did Gao Fei, an aspiring outstanding teacher in Beijing (post-Beijing Normal University), step by step walk into an empty net and go astray in his youthful life under the wind and frost of the years, leaving behind not only elegant calligraphy and Geng Jie's lofty sentiments, but also the lush mountains, which should be another interpretation and continuation of life.
Elephants can't see, but the castle is silent in the dusk, like a wise man, watching the clouds roll, the moon is white and the wind is clear.
