Ziwu Valley in Qinling Mountains

The Qinling area where Ziwu Valley is located has steep mountains and rugged roads. There are thousands of green peaks in the valley, thick shade blocks out the sun, gurgling water in the valley, and winding paths leading to secluded areas. In the hot summer, you will feel cool when you visit here, which makes you feel like entering a fairyland. In addition, the embellishment of historical records and folklore adds a bit of mystery and aura to the Feng Shui treasure land. The main body of the existing cliff stone carvings in Ziwu Valley, "The Biography of Jin Keji", records the story of Jin Keji from Silla (now South Korea) who was taught inner alchemy by Taoist immortal ancestor Zhongliquan and became an immortal. The Jinxian Temple under the Xuandu Altar in Ziwu Valley is also known as the "Source of Haidong Dharma" and the "Ancestral Court of Korean Taoism". Jinxian Temple has also become a place where Taoist believers rush to worship.

Ziwu Valley has a long history. In the early Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Ziwu Valley as a place for worshiping heaven and praying, and built the Taigu Xuandu Altar (also known as the Taiyuan Xuandu Altar) at an excellent location, which was revered It is the supreme "place where the royal family worships heaven".

During the Three Kingdoms period, the famous general Wei Yan proposed the famous Ziwu Valley Strategy: to imitate Han Xin in "building plank roads openly and secretly destroying Chen Cang". Wei Yan personally led 5,000 elite troops from Ziwu Valley to Chang'an and captured Chang'an and Tongguan in one fell swoop. Zhuge Liang's army left Xie Valley and marched into Chang'an and Tongguan. The two armies met at Tongguan. Zhuge Liang was always cautious in using troops. He believed that this strategy was too dangerous and difficult to succeed, so he abandoned it and was criticized by later generations. Wei Yan's Ziwu surprise attack was more comprehensive than the famous general Huo Qubing's long-distance attack deep behind enemy lines. He personally asked for orders, which can be said to be loyal and courageous. However, one person was granted a wolf title and his reputation lasted forever; one person rebelled and was killed, which became a joke. It makes people sigh.

During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, because Concubine Yang Guifei liked to eat lychees, Emperor Xuanzong ordered people to renovate the road from Sichuan to Chang'an. Lychees entered Chang'an along the Ziwu Valley. In Beijing, many people and horses died on the road, and the people suffered..." Therefore, Ziwu Road is also called Lychee Road. "Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of gates are opened on the top of the mountain. A red concubine laughs, but no one knows it is a lychee." "Concubine's smile" also refers to the Spring and Autumn Period when King Zhou You smiled for his concubine and lit a beacon fire, which led to the destruction of the country and his death. allusion. Since ancient times, businesswomen have not known the hatred of losing their country, and they have always taken the blame for losing their power and humiliating their country.

It was very easy to go down the mountain, and it was like flying through the clouds and mist among the clouds and mist. I took a few hasty photos along the way as evidence that the old man had been here. As we were approaching the bottom of the mountain, a Taylor Swift song played at the end of the cross-country race, which brought the old man back to reality. This was Xi'an, a national metropolis. Opposite the end point is a bridge that leads to a bridge with the words "This is the past" or "The past is the recent" written on the bridge's head. It is quite Zen-like to understand it carefully.
