In China's mythology, immortals are immortal and faintly visible in the mist. Of course, immortals will still punish evil and promote good. Fairy Jinyun has been active in the word of mouth of local people since Sui Dynasty. At that time, this landscape was not called Xiandu, but they believed that between the vast jungle and the rising fog, there were immortals powerful enough to control the world.
With this simple belief, there will be constraints on your own behavior and expectations for a better life. In the world, the simplest kindness comes from awe of the divine power of heaven and earth.
Perhaps for thousands of years, Jinyun people have maintained this sincere kindness. When I got off the bus, the rain was still falling. A girl in the same car handed me an umbrella and said, "I have been there many times." Take this umbrella. " Rain falls on the smooth umbrella, soft and silent, like an invisible fairy touching the top of her head. I slowed my steps. I don't know why, in this case, I will involuntarily become pious, and I will believe that there will be my own high eyes staring at our every move where our eyes can't reach.
I saw many myths and legends when I was a child, and the description of fairyland in the text has already formed a scene that is both real and illusory in my mind. Since ancient times, the convenient place where immortals live is a treasure with unusual scenery. Immortals can ascend to heaven on earth, but they can become plainclothes civilians and walk the earth. Occasionally, it is enough to make the world stunned.
According to legend, Tang Tianbao visited Jinyun and saw colorful clouds. I heard that they appeared on Jinyun Mountain and were happy in the sky. If the emperor wanted to know such a big thing, he reported it to the court. Hearing this, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty could not help but sigh: "This is also a gathering place for immortals!" So the word "Xiandu" was handwritten, and the name of Xiandu came from this and has been used ever since. Here, I didn't see Xuanzong's calligraphy with my own eyes, but my imagination and yearning for fairyland have been confirmed here one by one.
Enter the scenic spot, walk along the stream, and splash green in front of you. The rain stopped slowly, and the water vapor on the mountainside was like tying a gauze belt to the mountain. We will cross a bridge and go to the other side of the mountain. Walking to the middle of the bridge, I sat on a piano-like stone pier. Below me is a green stream, clear and calm, and I can't see it flowing. I'm thinking that if a fairy wants to take a bath on earth, she should choose this place to play with water. If one of their favorite clothes about the world is taken away, they should be close to the world here, have children with an ordinary person who loves her and look forward to being together for the rest of their lives.
If you want to find physical evidence for the immortal to ascend to heaven, it should be the Dinghu peak that penetrates the sky. I was really shocked when Dinghu Peak appeared in front of me through the shady Woods. In the relatively flat and wide Xiandu scenic spot, it is so abrupt and majestic, like a legend and an unattainable declaration. It is said that this mountain peak is as high as 170.8 meters, which is the highest stone pillar in the world and has the reputation of "the first peak in the world". Looking at it, I wonder if my eyes are missing something, such as whether it will swing from side to side in the fog, whether it will grow like a bamboo shoot, and even rise to the sky when we are not paying attention. For another example, will there be a group of immortals pedaling to the celestial world at the summit?
In fact, according to historical records, the immortals here are indeed famous and have surnames. There is a cloud in Historical Records: "The Yellow Emperor picked bronze wares from Shoushan Mountain and cast a tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. There is a dragon with a beard hanging down to meet the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode on horseback, and there were more than 70 ministers in the harem, with dragons on them. Yu Xiaochen can't go, but he knows he has a dragon beard. The dragon beard was pulled down and fell into the bow of the Yellow Emperor. The people look up to the Yellow Emperor, but they hold his bow beard, so later generations named it Dinghu, with its bow Wu Gong. "
How this story conforms to the beautiful imagination and habitual thinking of Chinese children: Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, made an alchemy at the top of Dinghu Lake. After the alchemy, the Yellow Emperor crossed the Red Dragon to ascend to heaven and became immortal. Therefore, our ancestors will live forever and be worshipped by future generations. Look at all the disputes in the world, the immortal is still immortal, and the yellow emperor is still the yellow emperor. In people's wishes, although he can't step into the road to immortality, the Yellow Emperor, as the ancestor, will always protect and bless those behind him, including himself. How nice!
More interestingly, when the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven and became immortal in legend, Dante fell, and the accumulated water became a lake, so there was Dinghu Lake. The lake still stands quietly on the top of the mountain, but we can't climb it, and we can't see the true face of Dinghu Lake. We can only guess what it looks like from ancient written records and imagination. It is said that drug farmers can use ropes to fly over the peak, not only to collect rare herbs in the world, but also to get close to Dinghu Lake and enjoy its beautiful scenery. Think about it, standing on the top of the mountain, if there is a breeze, fog, clouds floating in the sky, and then hanging a rainbow, it seems to be on a par with the sky in an instant, isn't it beautiful and fast? ! In fact, the way they fly over the rope and complete the difficult landing that ordinary people can't complete is somewhat similar to that of the gods. I don't know if Bai Juyi has reached the summit. In fact, the poem says: "The Yellow Emperor can't fly back, and Cui Wei is alone in the clouds." Sometimes the wind stirs the waves in Dinghu Lake and scatters them into raindrops on sunny days. "
If we go back, Li Bai came to Jinyun Xiandu long before Bai Juyi was born. Li Bai has a nickname, called "fallen fairy". "Poet Fairy" was given to him by later generations, and "fallen fairy" was already famous when he was alive. Both "fallen immortals" and immortals are destined to intersect.
This has to start from the beginning. Li Bai has an uncle named Li, who is the county magistrate of Jinyun County in the Tang Dynasty. Up to now, the old city of Jinyun County still preserves a stone carving "Tangshan Ji" written by Li Zhuanshu on the cliff. It was named after Li lived in seclusion in this mountain "building a pavilion and banquet room". In the spring of the first year of Tianbao, Li Bai traveled to Huiji and hid in the cave with the famous Taoist Wu Yun. Together, they went up to the rooftop and climbed down to Jinyun Mountain. As a local county commandant, Li Bai was duty-bound to be a tour guide for both of them from his uncle Li. Together with him, he visited Dinghu Peak, which was called Shan Mountain at that time, and visited Xuanyuan Huangdi in Jinyuntang. It was at that time that Li Bai wrote two "Introduction to Flying Dragons" in Yuefu, focusing on the Yellow Emperor casting a tripod and riding a dragonfly. Among them, "The Yellow Emperor cast a tripod in Jingshan and made an alchemist's sand. Cinnabar turns into gold, riding a dragonfly to Taiqing's home "is the story of the Yellow Emperor becoming immortal. Wu Yun, however, was unwilling to lag behind, and wrote a poem entitled "Jinyunling Pavilion": "People are surprised by the dangers of this road, and I love the depth in front of the mountain. Still afraid of boredom, I want to do it and ponder. " The victory of heaven and earth and the interest of traveling are expressed in the poem.
Perhaps Li Bai has a soft spot for Xiandu, and it is not enough to write two sentences of Introduction to Feilong. In the twelfth year of Tianbao, Wei Wan, a native of Wuwangshan, smelled Li Bai's footsteps and ran to Zhejiang to find him. It was not until he returned to Guangling that he saw Li Bai. Then, Li Bai described the landscape in the Xiandu area of Jinyun in his long poem "Send Weiwan, a native of Wuwangshan, back to the palace": "The valley of Jinyun is hard to see, and Shimen is the most impressive. The waterfall hangs Beidou, don't be poor at this water end ... "
Li Bai, a generation of poetic immortal, followed the voice of the immortal, collided with the fairy capital with poetry, and achieved a historical story with beautiful scenery and fairy legends. Later generations followed Li Bai's voice and came one after another. This kind of follow-up is not unreasonable. In the eyes of the world, Li Bai is no longer a mortal, at least half a fairy. Blowing the fairy wind and touching the fairy spirit to wash away the evil taste of body and mind are regarded as ideals and pursuits by many people who are keen on landscapes.
In fact, there are many literati who follow the gods like Li Bai. From ancient times to the present, there are Wang Xizhi, Xie Lingyun, Yuan Zhen, Pi Rixiu, Shen Kuo, Zhu, Wang, Xu Xiake, Zhu Yizun, Yuan Mei and Guo Moruo. They all left calligraphy for this place and enjoyed the wonderful mountains and beautiful water at the same time.
Xiandu is a fairy place. For decades, more than 30 films such as Ashima have been filmed here. The hit TV series "Hua" in recent years was also filmed here. It is worth mentioning that "Flower" is also a story related to immortals: the girl flower meets the fairy white, which opens a period of pure love and sadomasochism about responsibility, growth and choice between people and immortals. With my mortal feet, I can't walk through every inch of the film and television drama, but I believe that only a place like Xiandu can shoot such a beautiful and pure picture, and can properly set off the protagonist's fluttering clothes and sage like style.
China people's pursuit of immortality or immortality is ancient. As powerful as Qin Shihuang, he can sweep Liuhe and unify China, and the cult of chasing immortals is no exception. Of course, on the other hand, it is the monarch who really has the ability to gather a country's efforts to seek medicine. At that time, there was Xu Fu, a close disciple of Mr. Guiguzi, who studied valley, qigong, cultivation of immortals and martial arts. When he came out of the mountain, it was the Reese era before and after Qin Shihuang ascended the throne. Chui Fu won the trust of Qin Shihuang with his skill. So, under the command of Qin Shihuang, a mighty army composed of 3,000 children, men and women and people of various skills, carrying food and other things, led by Xu Fu, went to the East to "seek immortality". Perhaps because he lost his way, or because of natural force majeure, Qin Shihuang did not wait for Xu Fu's return, nor did he realize his dream of immortality. There are indications that Xu Fu finally settled in Japan, taught local people rice, dug wells, made farm tools, and spread knowledge of medicine and textiles, which brought earth-shaking changes to Japan and pushed Japan from primitive society to slave society.
This time, it happened that a Japanese scholar studying in China, Hayakawa Taidi, also came to Xiandu together. In the cleansing of the mountain breeze, we inadvertently talked about the blending of Chinese and Japanese culture and blood. He said, indeed, there are still many relics about Xu Fu in Japan today, such as Xu Fu's landing site, Xu Fu Temple, Xu Fu's tomb and Xu Fujing. Among them, Saga City, Shinomiya City and other places were passed down as places where Xu Fu landed in Japan. There are a large number of Chinese characters in the scripts currently used in Japan, and Japan also has customs and habits similar to those in China, which undoubtedly proves the close integration of culture and blood between the two countries.
A story originated from the search for immortals has written such a meaningful chapter in the history of the two countries, and it is also a much-told story. Fairy is like an open book, from which you can always read elegant souls or think of people and things related to fairies.
Come with us, follow the voice of the gods, and a group of famous poets and rhymes. Poets can always find creative inspiration from green mountains and green waters and legends and stories, so the verses of poetry are like the water of practicing streams. Among them, Ma Jianxun wrote in the poem "Dinghu Peak": "Who is the first wonder in the world, Dinghu will deduct the clouds. Xiandu has a well-known reputation and a high pillar. I still remember going early by dragon people, and it is difficult to return with the accompanying cranes. However, after I stopped traveling, I still admired Cai Wei in the book. " Yes, when I met Xiandu, when I described the strange scenery of Dinghu Peak, I couldn't help thinking of the man who became immortal in Lapras. Tang Dingkun also wrote a poem "Wandering in Jinyun", saying: "The symbol of the Yellow Emperor should be empty, and Xiandu has its own Xianju. Feng Dan is influenced by clouds every day, and the crane shadow is late at the beginning of the rain. " For the mountain that we can't climb to the top, he also thinks that "it has its own Xianju".
Immortals are the most eternal ideal of mankind. People call people who have special abilities and can live forever in mythology immortals, and also call beautiful things and people in life immortals. "On the west side of Yumen, the awning is getting farther away, and suddenly a fairy gets in." Today, when we follow the fairy's voice and enter the fairyland, even if our bodies can't become immortals, at least there are words that grow wings and climb to the misty land.
