On September 10 (Monday), Weiming took a train from Qingdao to Bashan Bookstore in Jing County, Wannan Anhui Province. Bashan Book Garden started construction in 2017 and is located in a mountain depression about two kilometers near Chaji Village in Jing County. The autonomous road winds up along a cement village road that is only 4-5 meters wide, bypassing several hills and passing several farmhouses. At the end of the road is the main entrance where the current project ends.
Bashan Shuyuan is backed by Bashan Mountain, surrounded by green bamboos. The left side is also surrounded by mountains and is covered with bamboo forests and green trees. The right side is close to the creek and Bashan. The tall chestnut trees are already covered with fluffy chestnuts. It is said that in two weeks they will ripen and fall into the ditch beside the ditch. At that time, perhaps schoolchildren can pick up some and taste the local mountain delicacies.
Climbing high and looking into the distance, there are hundreds of acres of rice fields in front of Shuyuan, and a few kilometers away you can see the endless green mountains lying like pen holders, which is really a place with excellent Feng Shui.
? When the weather is clear, the sky is blue, the trees are green, and the air is fresh. Where the sun shines, the white walls and blue tiles, hanging red lights and bright couplets are clearly visible. The Shuyuan initiated the three-character plaque of "University Hall" written by the founder, Senior Brother Kang Dajun, which is vigorous, dignified and neat.
? So far, the building area of ??Shuyuan is about 5,000 square meters, and it will be expanded to 10,000 square meters if subsequent conditions permit. Shuyuan will officially open camps and classes in October.
In the more than half a year since the Spring Festival this year, we have held two summer camps, two 7-day bigu classes, and several small meditation sessions. Teacher Kang said that as long as you take classes or meditate here, whether you are a teenager or an adult, the physical and mental baptism (changes in ideological concepts, emotional management, mental awareness, etc.), experience and realization will be impressive and fruitful. .
This time I made a special trip to Shuyuan to visit Teacher Kang. The main purpose is to fulfill the promise made a year ago and give away a treasure - the "Nei Jing Diagram" containing the secrets of Taoist practice of inner elixir Xiao Zhoutian. It is also to exchange the experience of practice in the past year.
A small corner of the third-floor residence has become a natural "tea room" for two or three people to sit quietly and chat. With my back against the bamboo curtain, I sat on the floor with a cup of light tea, chanted something, and sat cross-legged leisurely, feeling very comfortable. In the silence and silence, I occasionally look into the distance to see the mountains, trees, walls and tiles, harmonious and quiet. Occasionally, Teacher Yang and three students were vaguely heard reciting the "Book of Filial Piety" from a distant classroom. The book garden had not yet officially started classes, but it was clear that the fragrance of books was already coming.
The lights are turned off every day, the mountains are quiet, the library is safe, there are no lights outside the window, and it is difficult to see your fingers when you reach out. Practice Toad Kung Fu as usual every day, wake up at about 3-5 o'clock every night, take a short nap, feel numbness and heat running all over the body, sleep quietly and watch, and enjoy endless wonderful happiness. The melodious sound of diligent and dedicated cockcrows could be heard in the distance, and a drizzle of rain fell one night, adding a bit of mystery to the dark night. The magnetic field here is so strong that it should be a good place for learning, health care, and spiritual practice. The next day, I exchanged my feelings with Teacher Kang. Teacher Kang solved the doubt and said: This place is located at 30 degrees north latitude.
During the four days, except for the relatively fixed times for three meals a day, there were no other prescribed schedules and topics. There was no movement and everything was as it should be.
When I first visited this place, Teacher Kang drove me to the nearby Taohuatan Town, which is more than 20 kilometers away, where the great poet Li Bai was sent off by Wang County Magistrate Wharf. The eternal quatrain of the poet "Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep, not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me." This place became famous! I think everyone still remembers it. Tang poetry and Song lyrics have been deeply implanted in the bone marrow and souls of generations of Chinese people.
Yesterday, classmate Yijiu, who was on a business trip in southern Anhui Province, made a special trip to visit Weiming and visit Shuyuan. On the way, the navigation led him to a secret and secluded road, and he almost punctured the tire, which was a small thrill. Sitting with tea, eating vegetarian food in the restaurant, and looking around, I felt a little moved. I also wrote a few sentences: "The beginning of autumn has passed, and it is not like autumn. Laoshan is only bright for reading books. The water of Peach Blossom Pond is thousands of feet long, and it is not enough to study and look at my love for a long time." to commemorate it.
During this period, Teacher Kang accompanied us on a short tour of Chaji Village. It is said that the village flourished in the Yuan Dynasty and prospered in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are more than 200 ancient dwellings in existence. Most of the surnames are Cha. Three small rivers flow through the village. Various buildings are scattered in height and are built along the natural terrain. It is a natural harmony between nature and man. The beauty of one. "There is smoke for nine miles in Shilicha Village, and three streams flow into thousands of households. Under the shadow of ancestral temples, pavilions, and towers, there are small bridges, flowing water, and apricot blossoms in the sky.
"The ancient poems accompanied by some on-site photos can probably evoke the imagination of the natural beauty of Chaji Village in the past.
After a night's sleep adjustment in Hefei, I have already set foot on the high-speed train back to Qingdao. It's worth it. This line can be used as the conclusion of this article. I look forward to meeting Teacher Kang and my senior brother again in the future to talk about sex and Taoism.
