A few days ago, our family went to Fanjing Mountain to play.
We set off early in the car before dawn. The car bumped along the winding mountain road for more than an hour, and finally arrived at the foothills of Fanjing Mountain - Huguo Temple. As soon as the car stopped, I couldn't wait to jump out of the car, excited and excited.
At this time, the sky has turned fish belly white. I ran to the Huguo Temple and looked up at the four eye-catching gold plaques with blue background "Huguo Zen Temple" hanging on the red painted door. My mother told me that this was written by the famous calligrapher Wei Yuping. Entering the main hall, in the middle of the hall is the kind and smiling Maitreya Buddha statue, flanked by the four heavenly kings. The Buddha has wisdom and virtue and subdues all demons. Next to the Main Hall are the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Sutra Tower, Holy Water Hall, etc. Although they have been restored, they are antique and retain the ancient architectural style.
After visiting Huguo Temple, we continued to drive upwards. When we arrived at Mianxu Ridge, the sun had already climbed over the mountains. The car couldn't move, so we climbed up the steps. Clusters of fiery red azaleas bloomed on both sides of the road, like a scarlet carpet. There are many towering old trees beside the road. Their trunks are so thick that only two or three people can hug them. Their roots are exposed, like giant pythons coiled on the rocks. Tourists gathered in small groups, either watching, taking photos, or reciting poems, and they were very interested in visiting.
While admiring the ancient trees, you climb up the stairs in the scorching sun. The mountain breeze is blowing, and it doesn't feel stuffy at all. Just as I was about to turn a mountain ridge, I felt a drizzle begin to fall from the sky. how? It's going to rain, but the sun is shining. Looking up, it turned out that there was a mountain stream on the top of the mountain. A stream of water splashed from the waterfall flowing down from the mountain stream. The water flowed straight into the sky, like thousands of silver arrows shooting at the rocks. At this time, I heard someone saying that we were almost there, I cheered up and quickened my pace. Then, we finally climbed to Phoenix Mountain, which is located in the south of Qionglong. It is named because the mountain is shaped like a phoenix with wings spread and head held high. There are rugged rocks on the mountain, the most famous of which is the mushroom stone, which consists of two overlapping boulders, larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, as strong as a "mushroom". The mushroom stone stands on the cliff and feels swaying when the wind blows. I had seen the mushroom stone in a promotional poster and thought it was very strange. But when I was under the stone, I felt a fear in my heart that it would collapse. I gently stroked the mushroom stone and realized that my worries were completely unnecessary. For thousands of years, the mushroom stone has been able to stand firm and remain motionless in wind and rain. Isn't it because the mushroom stone has a tough backbone? Isn’t this the most authentic portrayal of the Tujia people? I was in awe.
Although the mushroom stone is beautiful, the golden dome is even more unique.
We followed the path to the foot of the Golden Dome. The Golden Dome was like a jade dragon roaring into the sky, pointing straight into the sky; it was also like a giant bamboo shoot unearthed, a work of art. For mountain climbing, Golden Summit is the best choice. Without hesitation, our family joined the mountain climbing team. Although the iron rope used for climbing is very old, it is still black and shiny. At the beginning, I climbed very fast. The higher I went, the more scared I became. Gradually, I slowed down and didn’t even want to climb up. When my father saw it, he said, "If you don't climb the Golden Summit, you haven't been to Mount Fanjing!" My father's words were like a shot in the arm, encouraging me to climb up. I reached Yixiantian at a very fast speed and climbed to the top of the Golden Summit. As soon as we reached the top of the mountain, thick fog arose in the valley and covered the golden top like a tide. The mountain ridges, green lawns, and towering strange rocks that were clearly visible just now disappeared, everything was gone. There is an airtight thick fog everywhere, and the overwhelming milky white color makes people feel like they have entered a dreamlike fairy tale world. At this time, Fanjingshan looked like a shy girl, covering her face with a white gauze scarf, not wanting anyone to see her clearly. Gradually, the fog disappeared into the sky as it came, and the layers of mountains also revealed themselves in the sunshine. The fog in Fanjing Mountain is also impressive. It was still steaming just a moment ago, but then it suddenly disperses, which is really unpredictable. Looking as far as the eye can see, the scenery is panoramic, and you can see majestic mountains with many mountains; steep slopes, deep valleys, towering peaks; criss-crossing streams and waterfalls. At this time, a strong wind blew towards my face, bringing with it a bit of chill. I was standing on the edge of a cliff, chilling.
Maybe I am a sentimental girl. Standing on the top of the mountain, I always have the urge to write down a few good sentences to spread, but I can't write Du Fu's "I will be at the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the mountains." "Small" or Su Shi's famous line "I want to ride the wind back, but it's too cold at high places". I just feel that the sky is too big and people are too small.
As the sun set, we walked along the mountain road accompanied by the cool breeze, and reluctantly left Fanjing Mountain. After returning, I also wrote a short poem: The thousand-year-old temple that protects the country is surrounded by thousands of mountains of cotton wool; the golden top stands in the clouds, and people are on mushroom stones. I hang it in my study to inspire myself.
