In recent years, I have walked three or four times along the direction of the ancient commercial road. For the first time, my friend Ching Tien, whom I haven't seen for many years, insisted on taking me to Xi 'an along the Danjiang River from the direction of ancient Nanyang. It is already late autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the rolling Qinling Mountains are colorful. The villages south of Qinling Mountains are mostly white walls and blue tiles, with southern architectural style. Passing through the Zhong Nanshan Tunnel, the land of Guanzhong fell into the smog. At this time, I realized that the birthplace of Chu people and local businesses are really a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
The land of merchants was originally the ancestor of Chu people, Kuaixiong, and was sealed here by Zhou Wang for helping Zhou destroy merchants. "Historical Records" records that "in the era of Zhou Wenwang, the Miao people in Jilian were called raccoons. Bear is the king of literature. " Later, Xiong Yi led the people of China to start a hard work. Push south and develop into a big country in the south. Qin Chu asserted that the land of commerce was occupied by Qin. Zhang Yi and the King of Qin used Shang Yang as bait to imprison the King of Chu by deception. Li Shangyin was deeply impressed by this history and wrote the poem Shang Yang: "Shang Yang is in the morning rain and Qiu Guang is on his way home. Houwu monkeys pick fruits, and musk deer are fragrant. Sword spirit is really in power, how can it be a halberd? Cut the land, Zhang Yi cheated, and made a long life. Outside the moon in Qingqu Prefecture, there is frost in front of Huangye Temple. Seeing the clouds today, I don't want to go to the emperor's hometown. "
Cheating, that's what happens between people. All countries are the same. When Qin Chu was fighting for the front, the commercial port Manchuanguan on the ancient road was the source of "being kept in the dark". The historical facts of the past can hardly be measured by the present morality. Shangyu ancient road is a commercial road, and the products of the land of plenty in the southeast are transported to Shangluo along Danjiang River, and then transported to Chang 'an by mule and horse. At that time, there were many post offices on the way up the mountain. There are six post offices in the east of Chang 'an, such as Lanqiao Post Office and Lantianguan Post Office. Shangluo has more than ten post offices, including Beichuan Post Office, Xian 'e Post Office, Shangyu Post Office, Dihua Post Office, No.4 Post Office, Taohua Post Office, Wuguan Post Office, Qingyun Post Office, Zengfeng Post Office and Fushui Post Office. From Fushuiyi to the east, enter the territory of Henan Province.
Now many local guildhalls and post stations still exist. Dihua Post is located in an ancient town without soil and foreign culture because of the writer Jia Pingwa. Liu, the prototype of happiness, also sells books and words at home. The word "happy" is still the most frequently written.
Xian 'e Post is located in a large reservoir called Xian 'e Lake. Lu Yu drove a bumper car, and the vendor who sent "native chicken" here from the city realized that the native chicken from the farmhouse in the mountains might be sent from other places. A farmer and a pheasant. It's strange that there is an eye patch on the eye. The boss said that the pheasant only looked ahead and wouldn't be blind. It would go straight ahead until it hit death in the cage.
The world is bustling, all for profit; All the soils in the world are beneficial. This road was called "Shangshan Road" in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also a road of fame and fortune. Wang Zhenbai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Shangshan: "Shangshan enjoys both fame and fortune, and there are people walking at night. The four giants lie in the clouds, and the moss grows forever. During the day, the cage is dark, and the snow is separated from the forest. I am waiting for a reward. Come and listen to the sound of water and stones. "
There are hundreds of poems about the four nobles of Shangshan in the ancient road. Tired of the troubles of fame and fortune, I have the idea of "going back and coming again". Whether it is true or not, it has left a lot of thoughts. Li Bai, a poet, went to Shangluo to visit the "Four Gentlemen" and visited the Fairy Goose Creek, lamenting that "I went to Shangluo to visit the immortals alone". Bai Juyi went to the sea to do business and climbed the Shang Mountain. "Three times in seven years, he left dozens of poems." Living in Luoyang in his later years, he recalled: "I have never seen Shangshan, but I have a clear spring and a white stone in my heart."
It is better to take Wan Li Road, take a trip to the ancient commercial road, read thousands of books, appreciate the enterprising spirit of Chu people, lament the helplessness of living in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and feel the hermit feelings on the road of fame and fortune.
