After finishing "Liuhou Temple", go 2 miles south to see Bailian Cave.
more than 3 years before me, two paleoanthropologists came here for a field trip. They dug east and west with small rakes. Suddenly, their hands stopped. After a long silence, 3, years have quietly returned. People finally know that this ordinary cave once gave birth to an important vein of ancient humans.
Today, at least many anthropologists in Asia are studying the blood relationship between their race and "Bailiandong people". More romantic scholars even put the long line of contact on the map of South America.
in my opinion, among all kinds of knowledge, archaeology is the most poetic. No wonder many great Chinese and foreign poets know this way at the same time. If you don't enter the White Lotus Cave at the end, you will be half a poet if you go in.
I walked into the hole.
I don't know which day and which tribe walked into the cave by accident. A long whistle, a jubilation. They looked at the dark depths of the cave in fear, and the cries of wild animals were faintly heard. They looked suspiciously at the stalactites at the top of the cave, wondering what disaster they would bring. But, whatever, grab a sharp stone and move forward. This is our home.
The beasts in the cave have already flocked to compete with human beings for this world. A fierce fight, a dead silence. A tribe was swallowed up, leaving nothing behind. I don't know how many years passed, but another tribe discovered this cave. It was still a fierce fight and a dead silence. Finally, once, the first person to stand up unsteadily in the pile of flesh and blood was a man, not a beast. Humans have thus completed a possession.
I stumbled into it.
there is a noise. There is a "squeaking" cry overhead, which is a bat hovering at the top of the cave; There is the sound of "La La" at the foot, which is a blind fish swimming in the undercurrent. It was so dark in the hole that they all lost their eyes and bumped into each other for thousands of years. There are remnants of a fire pit near the cave, where people lit the torch and became the only bright animal. Deep black holes are reflected in the pupil under the fire, and this species has black eyes.
I remembered a work "Wild Ancient Horses", in which I wrote that a herd of horses left by Genghis Khan was always alive and galloping around until now. Bats and blind fish should also be the companions left by our ancestors, right? Then, I am exploring my ancestral home. To talk to bats and blind fish is really melodramatic; However, I stared at them, and I was really worried.
when it comes to comfort, it's them. Hiding in such a hole, I didn't even get caught in the storm, rain and snow once, generation after generation, and it has multiplied so far. Ever since mankind bid farewell to them and rushed out of the hole, there has been no peace. Fierce beasts have been conquered one by one, but many partners have become beasts and have been fighting for thousands of years. The torch has been lit in this hole, but people often trample it out outside the hole, turning the vast world into a black hole, and there is no way to find it for years. Countless miracles have been created, and clever sins are appalling. The grand world often becomes an island, and the noisy life is sometimes even more deserted than the cave.
There is a stone curtain embedded with numerous fossils of corals, shells and conchs in the cave. According to the measurement, hundreds of millions of years ago, it was once the bottom of the sea. For this stone curtain, the arrival, departure and return of human beings are really just a moment. Soft fingers touch hard fossils, and perishable life inquires about endless history. Of course, ancestors tens of thousands of years ago also touched it and asked questions. My question is almost the same as theirs: where did we come from? Where does it go from here?
Perhaps it was the early possession of caves that made human beings have a strange fate with caves. According to a survey of 8 million Americans conducted by the World Poll Institute in 1987, many people who were dying recalled that when they were dying, their hazy consciousness was just entering a black hole:
They felt that they had been sucked into a huge black hole by a whirlwind and rushed forward rapidly in the black hole. And I feel that my body is being pulled and squeezed, and there are noisy sounds in the hole from time to time. At this time, their mood is more calm.
... There is a faint light shining at the end of the black hole. When they get close to this light, they feel that it gives them a pure love. It can be seen that human beings finally have to return to their hometown in the cave. Our distant ancestors worked hard to find this home, ran it with blood and sweat, and had to go back, so it was a matter of returning to the roots. According to astronomers, there is also an unfathomable black hole in the vast universe, which magically absorbs everything, wraps everything and devours everything. It is hard to guarantee that the earth and human beings will not throw themselves into its arms one day.
in my opinion, the mysterious taiji diagram is like a hole where everything scrolls. One yin and one yang are rotating, and everything can be rotated in. Taiji diagram is a grand legacy of the ancestors without words. Humans have written for thousands of years, but they have groped for hundreds of thousands of years in the world without words. No matter how stupid or stupid, hundreds of thousands of years of mystery can be condensed into supreme wisdom.
In any case, the totem of a cave will be buried in the deep consciousness of human beings moving towards civilization.
"sesame, open the door!" A huge treasure house is in the cave. Almost all the folklore of all ethnic groups point their material desires and even spiritual ideals to a mysterious cave. Countless monks spend their lives in caves, where the balance between life and the universe is constructed. The cynical Count of Jidushan, with the ideal of the emerging bourgeois, headed for a cave, and then there, with a firm command, exuded the power of human nature.
It's an idiom created by China people to see the world differently. People in China value righteousness over profit, and they are less obsessed with the treasures in caves. They want to take caves as the gateway and enter a world of spiritual habitation. Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" has spread for hundreds of generations because it has dug such a hole.
If the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain. The mountain has a small mouth, as if there were light. Give up the boat and enter from the mouth. Only when you are very narrow at first can you understand people. After dozens of steps, it suddenly dawned that Wu Lingren finally came to an ideal country. Since then, every China person has planted a peach blossom garden in his heart.
Peach Blossom Garden is a challenge to the turbulent times. This challenge is very calm, silently confronting and saying nothing. When it was really unbearable, China people dug up another water curtain cave. This hole is no small matter, and the power to make trouble in heaven is gestating here.
Peach Blossom Garden and water curtain cave are different in atmosphere and similar in nature, both of which are the convergence of people's will. People in the Peach Blossom Garden are disconsolate in time and space, harmonious and harmonious, and there is no individual collision. The Monkey King has a little personality, but it is only a symbol of some overall intention. The order in water curtain cave is quiet and no waves.
This is the legacy of Bailiandong's human temperament and the revisit of ancestors' ecology. Bailiandong people fought against wild animals and nature, only echoing an idea: for our kind of animals. If they also have thinkers who touch the fossils of underwater creatures and bow their heads to ponder, then the subject of his meditation is only us, not me. What am I? History finally forced people to answer.
Bailian Cave already contains a capital herringbone. For tens of thousands of years, there are often layers of dark clouds to hide the word, so the word always seems so brilliant and exhibition, which arouses people's eager expectations. When the inhuman tyranny fell, the space shuttle Challenger suddenly exploded, and UFOs appeared frequently, the word would also ignite people's permanent enthusiasm. However, if the word is always capitalized, the broad wings will also cast a shadow. When the time comes, these lively creatures will break it down into many bright spots. There are as many bright spots as there are creatures, and the word can be transformed into a bustling world.
since people have to return to the black hole, why do they have to come out through thorns? Come out, is to enjoy this wide space freely; Come out, that is, let every living thing stretch from spirit to bones and muscles; Come out, is to let each individual evaporate out of their own world. In this way, when people re-enter the black hole, they will not be ashamed of bats and blind fish.
at this time, I have walked out of the hole of Bailian, facing a green mountain. There are stones at the mouth of the cave, so you can sit down and rest and have a bird's eye view.
I think of Zhang Xiaofeng's Wu Lingren. Xiaofeng copied the theme of Tao Yuanming, but took Wu Lingren, who accidentally fell into the Peach Blossom Garden, as a single person to grind it carefully. He enjoyed the happiness of the Peach Blossom Garden and contrasted the pain of his native Wuling. However, strangely, he still resolutely returned. The reason is:
Wuling is not heaven, but in the pain of Wuling, I will think of heaven, but here, I will only forget it. Forget myself, forget my family, forget the kingdom of heaven, and the happiness here cancels my right to think. So he searched hard and drilled the hole.
Dr. Lai Shengchuan's Secret Love for Peach Blossom Garden has the same effect, which makes Wu Lingren, who entered the Peach Blossom Garden and returned, mingle with modern life and taste a person's real emotional value in the sweet and sour.
Taiwan Province writers have moved to the Peach Blossom Garden in the same way, and they are talking about the transcendence of modern China people over the immortal abode of fairies.
It reminds me of Mountain Sacrifice written by a group of young artists in Shanghai. Yu Gong's family worked hard to dig mountains in a kingdom with a unique hole in the sky. This kingdom has brown harmony and blameless discipline. Unexpectedly, a girl with modern colors floated in, with attractive charm and a series of silly questions, which made the descendants of Yugong reflect on their own significance one by one. As a result, the solemn cave was in chaos.
I also remembered a passage in the Rubik's Cube, in which three college students strayed into a deep cave and couldn't find an exit. At a critical moment, generate showed his true self. This cave should be similar to the White Lotus Cave. After tens of thousands of years, human beings will finally reveal their individual philosophy in the cave. Even if I die, I haven't wasted these tens of thousands of years. Not long ago, in Singapore, a group of Chinese youths invited me to watch their rehearsal in the middle of the night, which turned out to be this passage in the Rubik's Cube. After the performance, this group of young people sweated and smiled, as if they had got rid of it.
Why do artists in China always cling to caves? Finally, a long tunnel appeared in front of my eyes, in which an ancient nation ran.
