At night, the sunset on the same mountain shines in the west.
"Since ancient times, the legend of the same mountain stream and the rocks on the summit are all strange in the world. The afterglow of the sunset leaves a reflection, and the sunset on the same mountain shines in the west. " It is said that every time the sun goes down, the sunset glow shines on the same top of the mountain, and the light just shines on the rock in the natural hole, and the three sides are as smooth as a mirror. The light is overflowing and colorful. The reflection of sunlight gives the impression that the mountain shadow appears on the west side of the mountain. People seem to see the shadow of the same mountain on the west side of the mountain, hence the name "Looking at the West at night" and "Sunset on the same mountain" is one of the eight scenic spots in Xunxian County. There is also a cave on the top of the mountain. Whenever the weather changes, it is bound to be "smoky". It is just a fairyland on earth, extremely magical, commonly known as the "cloud-spraying hole".
With the "worship" of the same mountain, I chose a sunny day and embarked on a mountain-seeking journey alone. Out of Daokou Ancient Town, about13km to the west, passing through Renzhuang Village, Zhangliuzhuang Village, Houliuzhuang Village and Gengtan Village in xiaohe town, Xun County. When I stood on the bridge of the regulation canal, I finally looked west, and the outline of the mountain was already in sight.
I was a little excited and couldn't help but speed up my steps, just to see the whole picture of the mountain earlier. Along the way, I met an old man who was over 70 years old, riding an old bicycle and stumbling. I was about to ask the way when the old man seemed to read my mind. "Let's go, going to the same mountain is just the same way." The old man said. I am very glad that someone is a guide, which helps me avoid the confusion of "being in this mountain, I always get lost around".
We walked and talked. Hearing that it was from Huaxian County, the old man sighed more. In his words, he envied the rapid development of Hua County in recent years. "If this river was under the jurisdiction of Hua County, Tongshan would have been developed long ago." Yes, Huaxian County is thousands of miles away, and the terrain is flat. What is missing is a mountain. Fortunately, there are so many hills in Xunxian County, such as Daishan, Qiufushan, Baisi Mountain, Tunzi Mountain, Tongshan Mountain, Zijinshan Mountain and Fenghuang Mountain.
Later, Tongshan Village lived by the mountain, hence the name "Tongshan". Passing through the Cai Gang archway in the village that says "Tongshan Scenic Area", we stopped at the foot of the mountain and walked up along a winding path. The mountain is not high, and the fairy is famous. The same mountain, although small in scale, is full of immortals of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, which can be described as "a group of immortals, Taoism and Buddhism are salty." From southwest to northeast, Toudao Mountain, Erdao Mountain and Sandao Mountain are scattered with large and small temples. Daxiong Hall, Bixia Palace, Western Buddha, Guanyin Hall, Old Mother Hall, Xuanwu Emperor. I even saw God Jiang Taigong standing on the top of the mountain, being worshipped by believers from all directions.
Tongshan has a profound cultural heritage and many historical sites. The silver dragon tablet in front of the temple is carved with dragons, which is unique in shape, which is really rare. Kannonji Monument was rebuilt in the 12th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1584) and Kannonji Monument was rebuilt in the 3rd year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1646). A large number of cultural relics, such as Wang Guan Monument in the Three Years Tomorrow (1623), Wang Guan Monument in the Three Years of Qing Shunzhi, and Wang Guan Temple Monument Rebuilded by Believers in the Six Years of Qianlong (174 1), provide important physical materials for studying the history and folk culture of Tongshan.
At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang would be a vassal in the same mountain; At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao stationed troops in Shannan; In the ninth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao opened the water of Baigou to irrigate the same hillside; Sui Yu Wenhuaji led hundreds of troops and wagangjun to fight at the foot of the same mountain; During the War of Liberation, the People's Army fought fiercely with the Kuomintang army here and wiped out more than 10,000 people. On the Shanxi side, there is a cliff stone carving in the seventh year of Jin Mingchang (1 196); There are ruins of Tancheng and Cangcheng in Shannan.
The most interesting legend of Tongshan is related to a great man in Xun County in Ming Dynasty. This man is Wang Yue, the powerful minister in Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty. Wang Yue, a native of Sangzi, did a lot of good for Xun County during his reign. For example, "Qihe Shudi" nominally helps Qixian County, but secretly helps Xunxian County; When Xunxian maintains Weihe Bridge, it is required that the bridge be small. It is nothing more than conducive to setting up a dock in Xunxian to collect geese; The construction of Wuliang Temple lured the emperor to say that there was no grain here, thus exempting Xunxian from the imperial grain. Wang Yue deliberately lost Tongshan, but also because Wang Yue wanted Changyuan County to compensate Xun County: Wang Yue was an official in the DPRK and returned to his hometown in a certain year. Officials from surrounding counties visited. Xunxian county magistrate complained. Wang Yue stepped forward and instructed Xun County magistrate and Changyuan County magistrate to win or lose the bet. Placing a rich copper coin in Changyuan County and a copper mountain in Xunxian County.
Later, at the behest of Wang Yue, Xun County deliberately lost Tongshan. Changyuan county magistrate asked where Tongshan was. Xunxian county magistrate took him to the barren hills. The magistrate of Changyuan found himself cheated. But it's no use crying over spilled milk. It's not good to go back on our word in front of Wang Yue. Since then, the wages in Tongshan area have been paid by Changyuan County. But it is free for Changyuan people to come to the same mountain to pull lime and stones. Of course, these are all folklore, which is not credible. As an important official of the imperial court, Wang Yue should have cared about the people all over the world, and it is really not advisable to seek personal gain for one place.
When I stood at the top of the same mountain and looked down at the foot of the western mountain, I was suddenly shocked by what I saw. This is not a mountain peak, but a pit. I can't help but think of a scene I saw in Zijinshan, Xun County a year ago: it was a mountain, but it was clearly below the horizon; It is more like an island in the sea than a mountain peak. At noon, the sun is shining. There is no fog in the mountain, and the same mountain looks empty and empty. If it is in the morning or evening, maybe I will see the clouds steaming and the island scenery of Xia Wei.
But in front of you? The mountain is fragmented and covered with grass. The exposed dangerous rocks stand tall, and the huge potholes seem to be the eyelids of people whose eyeballs have been removed, glaring at the sky. Fortunately, there is a stone pillar, which is said to be the highest peak in the same mountain, with a relative height of 100 meters. This stone pillar is particularly prominent in the surrounding ravines, as if it were the anchor of this "famous mountain and true sea" and as if it were accusing the human beings of "sin" in destroying nature. The existence of stone pillars proves that this mountain once existed. At this moment, I thought of an interesting question. There are so many immortals on the same mountain that they can't protect this stone under their feet!
According to the old man living on the mountain, when he was young, his relationship with the mountain was relatively complete. The west side of Tongshan Mountain is rocky and bare, and the east side is hard red clay gravel. Climbing the same mountain, you can also see the beautiful scenery of "sunset glow" and appreciate the beautiful scenery of "cloud-spraying cave". Some people will protect this mountain for thousands of years, while others will inherit it on the basis of eternal life. People who have lived here for generations live in harmony with the mountains and thrive. For thousands of years, with that stone knocked out by hand, these "mountain people" who live by the mountain can be carefree.
However, since the 1980s, people's eyes have been fixed on the abrupt hills on this plain because of the increasing demand for stone materials in the surrounding infrastructure projects. The erosion of this mountain is becoming more and more serious. No matter day or night, spring, summer, autumn and winter, machines roar, wheels roll, dig, transport and load in one go. The bigger the city, the higher the buildings, the more bulging people's pockets, and the smaller the same mountains.
In recent years, local governments have begun to pay attention to the protection of the same mountain ecology. A series of measures are put forward, such as closing hillsides to facilitate afforestation, prohibiting mountain quarrying and grazing. But there are still a pair of evil black hands, unable to resist the temptation of interests, stealing and digging. Mining tools are becoming more and more advanced, and the efficiency of mountain cutting is getting higher and higher. It can be said that the more scientific and technological progress, the greater the destructive power of human beings to nature.
Those who share the same mountain are of one mind and one mind. It's really hard to see the same mountain in front of me broken and devastated. Tongshan, a masterpiece of nature, is the wealth given by the creator to the local people. I sincerely hope that people can cherish it. Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, after all.
