Looking at the mountain-my motherland 29
The villagers call going to work in the fields "going up the mountain", probably because they are located in the hinterland of Jiaodong. In hilly areas, there is little flat land, so the road out of the village can't go far without starting to go uphill. Farm work is carried out on these high and low slopes. Children can't do much work, and sometimes they follow the footsteps of adults to see the mountains.
This kind of "mountain" was tamed by the villagers very cleverly, enclosing reservoirs, straightening ditches, building weirs for sorghum, millet, peanuts and sweet potatoes, planting spring seeds and autumn harvest, and changing the color of the mountain according to the season. Weeds, wild flowers and miscellaneous trees can only grow wildly in the depths of ravines and fields. Such a humble life, which avoids danger, is still trampled by the daily footsteps on some thin, curved and staggered paths, connecting the routes in and out of the mountains. Children run and chase on these slopes, mountains and mountain roads, pinch wild flowers, pick wild fruits and pull weeds, and become children of mountains.
Only when "Zhangjiashan" belongs to the village can it really be called "Mountain". It is called "Caojiacun" but "Zhangjiashan", which confuses the children. Many adults can't tell why when they ask, but just follow their ancestors. This mountain is less than 100 meters high. It stands in the southeast of the village in a conical shape, occupying all the good feng shui in the village. It was not "cut down" or planted on the ground, but was chosen by the village as a place to put its ancestors. Many graves are hidden in dense pine forests, and some are in Yin Qi. Children are afraid to go near, and they go with lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first month. When Tomb-Sweeping Day went to visit the grave, they went together. At other times, they stand in the village or look at the fields where they are working from a distance.
I have to look for mountains in the distance.
Six or seven miles southwest of the village, there are several connected peaks, which are located between Liang Shi Town and Qijia Town, with a height of two or three hundred meters, and are called "Wuwangshan". The mountains are lush, and I haven't seen any family hinder from going out, and I haven't seen any old man digging mountains. I don't know the relationship between this mountain and the mountain of the same name in One Mountain in Gong Yu, but this is our primary school's annual spring outing. When the flowers bloom, primary school students line up and wave the national flag, crossing a large area of Yang Shulin, and marching forward under the urging of teachers to "keep up" and "don't fall behind". Even if such a team is crooked, it is always described as "neat and mighty" in our composition book; Even if we are under control from beginning to end, we can't indulge in playing by the Wang Wu Reservoir and climbing the King of Wu. However, the lingering of thousands of acres of reservoir water is always arranged to climb the mountain in King Wu near noon, find a way between the branches of pine trees and wild Robinia pseudoacacia, and look into the distance at the top of King Wu's mountain, all of which link the infinite happiness of our childhood.
There is a Yujia Mountain four or five miles east of the village. The mountain is named after the village of Yu Jia, on which it depends, so children don't need to consider this name. Yujiashan is about 200 meters high, and you can see the white sandy mountain road leading to the top of the mountain from a distance. At the foot of the mountain, the road connects with the straight road on the bank of the South River that runs through several villages. It is close to the village and there is no danger, which makes it possible for children from other villages to climb mountains. In the fifth grade, the teacher asked us to run in the morning, and we ran along the south bank to Yujiashan until we reached the top of the mountain. The morning light is sprinkled on the road, in the forest and on our growing bodies.
The mountains and hills mentioned above can be seen at close range, ridiculed and closely related to our childhood. Farther away, those quiet and mysterious Shan Ye were only imprinted in our eyes when we were children, but their footsteps never moved so far. Those mountains have caught our attention, and we have to look up at them every day.
Nearly 20 miles to the east is a series of mountains, with numerous hills, running north and south, and connecting with the famous solitary mountain in Jiaodong when extending eastward; The mountains in the north-south direction stretch for dozens of miles, and dozens of hills suddenly erect a very imposing barrier in the hilly area, and I don't know where the end point is. Taking this as a boundary, Huangxian County, Penglai County and Qixia County live next to each other. During this period, there were several protruding peaks, exposing tough ridges, which were deep or clear or wild under the changing light of the sun. In the children's imagination, there are many secrets hidden in the valleys and valleys in the mountains.
The most prominent mountain peak is called Laoduoding, which is more than 500 meters high. The summit is round and solid, and you can see jagged stones. Later, I learned that this peak belongs to the main peak of Dezhiling Mountains. Dezhiling is named after Ganoderma lucidum, and the top of the old pile is named after the list of boulders on the summit. "Dengzhou County Records" contains: "Zhuozhishan is forty miles southeast of the county seat. Jiu Feng Ring Arch ... There is a hidden Tang Temple, and there is a spring in front of the temple, which merges into a pool. " The "county" here refers to Laohuang County. There is a winding mountain road next to the top of the old pile called "Eighteen Plates". The villagers said that it was the only passage from Huangxian boundary to Penglai boundary at that time, starting from Zhuyuan Village, Liang Shi Town, Shanxi Province, passing through Shimenkuang Village, Jixian Township, Shandong Province, and reaching warm and humid tangcun. From the names of these villages, we can know the size and height of the mountain. These villages are called Shuikuang, Liu Jia and Lujiagou behind the mountain.
Adults say that the mountainous area is large, there are many trees and the terrain is mixed. If you want to go out of the mountain, it will take several days, and it is difficult to find it during hiding. According to the Chronicle of Huangxian County published during the Republic of China, Li Shimin passed Huangxian County when he conquered the East, and was chased by enemy soldiers. He once hid in a grass temple in the mountains, escaped a robbery, ordered people to rebuild the temple, and was named "Hidden Tang Temple" by the people. Located at the foot of jiusan, this "buddhist nun" is known as the gathering place of Kowloon. It used to be very prosperous, very prosperous. Grandma often tells us that she went to school when she was a child, and the school had a piece of land in front of buddhist nun. In spring, the teacher took the students into the mountains to see, through wucun under buddhist nun, through a section of Woods, and through the Millennium road paved with stones ... When they were tired from work, they went to buddhist nun to have a rest. My grandmother still remembers that the tea given by a nun is fragrant.
Our teacher didn't take us into the mountain, and adults didn't want to climb it in the hard work. It's just that during the period before the Spring Festival every year, one day I suddenly get up and climb the "Eighteen Dishes" to go to the warm and humid tangcun to soak in hot springs. When he came back, the man, with a smug face, put his hand into the opposite sleeve and went into other people's homes or crowded places. He repeatedly talked about mountains and springs, but the villagers did not agree, which only aroused the children's appetite.
In this way, this mountain not only guards the villagers with its prominent image, but also has the scarce resources that people yearn for, as well as royal anecdotes, which is a bit royal. Strange things appear in the mountains from time to time.
Which village has a god who can show people the way, and which family saw something they shouldn't have seen when they entered the mountain ... Half-true and half-false people and things stirred up the lives of the villagers, making the children's hearts warm, not satisfied with looking at the mountain and thinking about it, they always wanted to enter the mountain. Once upon a time, it was said that there was a magical water somewhere in the mountains, which could cure all diseases, as if drinking it would make you immortal. Everyone is seriously spreading this myth. All the men in the village stopped their work, took bottles and kettles, walked more than ten miles of mountain roads, climbed several mountain passes, and went to the Shenquan to get water. All the men in the surrounding villages went and lined up for miles, but when it was their turn, they were asked by the steward to take only half a bottle or half a pot home. The reason is that water is given by God, and all villagers have the right to enjoy it, so everyone should have a drink. Women and children in the village are looking forward to drinking fairy water quickly and getting rid of all diseases from now on. In the middle of the night, it was too dark to see people's faces clearly. Dad came back with half a bottle of water on his face, full of joy. First, he solemnly held it in front of grandma and gave her a drink. That's why everyone takes turns drinking. The muddy yellow color of water makes it smell of mountain mud in the mouth, because it is mixed with the taste of various mountain grasses and is difficult to swallow. When I saw the villagers the next day, I felt that everyone was full of energy, but in the course of my life, I was still born and sick, and the death of death did not bring any signs of longevity to anyone. Now that I think about it, I only drank yellow mud soup mixed with some herbal ingredients.
I've seen enough Dongshan and Xishan. Approaching the southwest for three miles, after Wuwangshan, a mountain more than 600 meters high-Laishan rises from the ground. The name of the mountain is related to Qin Shihuang's eastward tour and the ancient Laizi country in Liang Shi during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Father loves to talk about the history of Laishan. From his story, we know that Qin Shihuang traveled eastward three times and came to Laishan twice, and ordered people to build the "Moon Temple" in the mountains. It was one of the eight temples built in China at that time, echoing the "Yang Temple" on Zhifu Island. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong climbed mountains to worship. As a result, mountain things flourished for a while. "At that time, Laishan was a place worshipped by the whole people, and the emperor must come ..." Tong Guwen's father stood up excitedly at this time. Later county magistrate records did record such historical facts, with ancient books and words as evidence. "Historical records. "Biography of Liang Wudi" "There are eight famous mountains in the world, one is Laishan." "Historical records. Zen recorded that there are eight famous mountains in the world, three barbarians and five China. China Huashan, Shoushan, Taishi, Taishan and Donglai, the places where the Yellow Emperor of Wuyue often travels, are with God. " I want to see Laishan from our direction, but all I can see is a main peak, which is magnificent and hides the hinterland of Fiona Fang for dozens of miles. It really smells like the emperor of the world. My father often talks about the scenery on Laishan Mountain in our ears, saying that there used to be Laishan Academy, monks and abbots, and the morning bell rang at dusk: there is Hei Hu Cave on the mountain, which is hundreds of meters deep and surrounded by white fog; It is said that there are forty-six peaks, seventy-two streams and eight views on the mountain ... because of this, the heart of seeing the mountain will be more imaginative.
Father also said that the antique on Laishan Mountain has been destroyed by years, leaving only some legends for people to chew in their leisure time. What you can see above are only a few stone carvings, a few broken walls and a few Tang bricks and Han tiles, which still record the past scenery. When he said this, my father sighed, as if regretting an old time that I couldn't touch, and there was another heartache that I couldn't touch a prosperous past. No one regards Laishan as a place to visit and worship ancestors, but my father still goes to Laishan once or twice a year.
I will go in autumn. Seeing the dark clouds approaching the top of Laishan Mountain in the distance, someone will shout out: "Lazy mountain wears a hat, rain is coming!" " "A figure came running in a hurry in the street. This "lazy mountain" refers to Laishan. According to legend, the first emperor faced this mountain in the east, and saw its majestic and vast area, which hindered farming, so he raised his whip and drove it to the sea. I don't want to whip six times in a row, and the mountain doesn't move. The first emperor shouted "lazy mountain, lazy mountain!" As a result, Laishan got this nickname. Therefore, this mountain is the highest peak in Huangxian County, and it has become a reference for us locals to see sunny and rainy days. Always after several old rains, a message came from a distant aunt who lived at the foot of Laishan and next to the ruins of Guicheng: You can enter the mountain. Father tied several baskets of cotton locust strips to the cart and left with a happy face. We look at Laishan several times a day, as if we could see which peak and tree my father reached with his heart. In the evening, my father will push back several baskets of various mushrooms for us to taste, dry and store. Laishan had such a function for us at that time.
Until I graduated from junior high school, I never walked into the boundary between these two mountains, nor did I walk out of these two peaks. When I look out, I am always blocked by the strong physique of these two peaks. I don't know what mountains, people and lifestyles there are. However, the mountains on opposite sides that I have stepped on are using their silence to complete my understanding of the shape and significance of the mountains.
Looking at these two mountains in the field, on the river beach and on our own platform, our eyes are growing, and the two mountains are changing their images, showing me all kinds of scenery and enlightenment. The beauty when wearing green, the vastness after wearing a white robe, the strangeness when the clouds cover the hills, the dullness when the stars cover the body, the infinite reverie caused by the dribs and drabs of light in the mountains in summer, and the inextricable connection between local famous mountains and regional culture all imply the connection between people and the natural landscape of life. ...
The typical landscape of Jiaodong in my village and its surrounding areas has planted the basic characteristics of mountains in my heart: long mountain base, rounded top, slightly modified conical mountain, undulating architectural foundation linking mountains and mountains, and a forbearing and strong mountain personality that has been epoch-making.
My confrontation with mountains, mountains and myself, my childhood, the collision between my youth and the prime of life of mountains also poured the deepest color into my character.
