Wan Li Xiake Tour Guifeng
Xu Xiake left his hometown at the age of 22 and began his heroic career. He was fifty years old when he entered Yiyang from Shangrao, Jiangxi Province along the Xinjiang River. 28 years of life experience, 28 years of experience in mountains and rivers, at this time, his feelings, his views, his observation of natural mountains and rivers, such as Gu Kaizhi sketching for beautiful women at court, how many concubines he has around him, and how many charming smiles he makes, are they true or false? Natural or cosmetic? Is there a charm gesture that Gu Kaizhi can't see through? When Xu Xiake drifted down the Xinjiang River on an autumn rainy day, it was a glimpse of a lonely peak in the sky that stopped him, and that distant feeling made him decide to live. He will start his trip from Guifeng, Yiyang, a place that moves him.
If Turtle Peak is not really beautiful, if it is not really attractive, how can it be possible to leave this traveler who has enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland and walk in this bonsai land for three days and linger? He fell in love with Guifeng at first sight. He is Guifeng's confidant. In a boudoir, he poured out his love and joy to this peerless beauty with beautiful and far-reaching words and a diary of Jiang You Gui Feng with more than 3,000 words. This dialogue between mountains and people, like high mountains and flowing water for thousands of years, will never be erased in the memory of Guifeng.
Xu Xiake entered Guifeng in the early morning of the 9th year of Chongzhen (1636)1October 20th.
The pouring rain started at midnight the day before, but it couldn't stop him from going to Turtle Peak. That morning, he put on his hat and hemp fiber, walked along the old street in yiyang county, entered the Xinjiang River from Yiyang Shuikou where the Gexi River in Liu Jia meets the Xinjiang River on the mainland, landed at the satellites tower, and walked along the hills of the Tuoshi competition. There was no food and the soil was not affected. At the intersection about five miles away from Guifeng, he saw a small peak called Yangjiaoba, then entered Guifeng and passed Tianzhu Peak. Look at the bamboo-colored orchids on the turtle peak, hiding a valley where two cliffs and waterfalls meet. Because of the heavy rain, clothes and shoes were soaked, and many peaks of Guifeng were locked in the rain and fog, Xu Xiake had to go back to Guifeng Temple to rest early. The enthusiastic abbot of Guifeng Temple dried his wet clothes and shoes and introduced him to Guifeng and the ancient temple where he lived. In the evening, Xu Xiake spent the night in the quiet room of Guifeng Temple under the dresser.
It cleared up the next day. Early in the morning, accompanied by the mind-watching abbot, I walked out of the abbot's atrium and listened to the mind-watching abbot point out all the victories. As far as he could see, he sincerely praised the beauty of the peaks and valleys of the tortoise for the first time: it was a fairy between heaven and earth who won! . After that, he arrived at the east of Zhaiding, that is, under the battlements and Weibing peaks, looked up at the hungry tigers, shepherds and stones, and gave his second admiration: How cool and cool! . Although the rock is rocky and steep, he is still attracted by the beautiful scenery of Turtle Peak. He dragged his staff through the thorns and conducted an investigation along the six valleys of Guifeng:
One is the first floor of Dongwai Valley. He first marveled at the coolness of the hungry tiger driving the sheep, then climbed up the sedan chair top and the milky white peak, looked from the outside to the west, and saw Bi Zhuofeng, which was surrounded by a valley, trying to explore its bottom, and then stones and thorns came out. It is beyond the ivory peak and lion peak in the west, and its ridge is too narrow to hold it. Looking back at Neigu, I sighed for the third time: I really don't have a day! .
Second floor, Dongwai Valley. After directly approving the top of the village, you can see the chessboard stone, with Mao Chaofeng in the southwest and Zhafeng in the northwest, which is behind Wei Bingfeng. In addition, there is another peak, which spirals northward from the lower part of Maofeng Mountain and becomes a valley.
Third, the northern outer valley. There is a connecting line between the top of Zhai Zhai and the ridge of Mao Chaofeng. It is doubtful whether it can reach the top, but there is no way to climb it. Back to Lingzhi Peak, look at Tianzhu Peak and Dog Peak. The battle flag and its northern peak are surrounded by a valley.
The fourth floor of Nanwai Valley. Climb to the top of Qifeng, overlooking the east of southeast Mao Feng, and there are stacked turtles and double sword peaks in the south. Look at the three peaks from the west of the stack, behind the two-claw turtle and east. I climbed into the valley at the top of the village again and saw the same three circles.
Fifth, the second floor of Nanwai Valley. Climb to the top of the cliff, from left to right, through the crevices, turn to the southeast, and the top is more dome-shaped. There is also a roof in the north, and the two roofs are sandwiched into a canyon. The southeast begins on the ridge, overlooking the south valley from the ridge, and collapses without seeing the bottom.
The third floor of the sixth Nanwai Valley. There are stone steps at the top of the gorge in the north and stone steps in the south, so follow the steps of the gorge in the north, climb the steps in the north from the gorge mouth, climb eastward, and you will see hats hanging on all sides, and then lead to the hanging ridge. You can't go up and down because the stones are staggered. There is a checkerboard valley in the north and a valley in the south, which is a vein from the south to the hat. It was getting dark, so I returned to the temple.
On this day's trip, Xu Xiake swam 32 peaks and found six valleys, giving a panoramic view of all the scenic spots in Turtle Peak. Sincerely issued three praises: a spirit between heaven and earth won! How cool! There is really no heaven and earth!
On the 22nd, Xu Xiake got up in the morning and wrote two five-character poems and a seven-character poem to thank the abbot. After breakfast, go to the dressing table, cross Turtle Peak, cross the first line of sky, cross Beisi Shenggu, cross the hanging ladder, see Mani Cave, then go down the hill and follow the outer valley into water curtain cave. In his travel notes, he wrote in detail: After the dressing table, he went up to the turtle peak. Next, cross a line to the east and cross the four sacred valleys to the north. There is a gap in the valley wall in the southeast direction, and there are big stones in it, so you can go out to the northwest. Going down the mountain again, the southwest enters water curtain cave along the outer valley, with cliffs on three sides and the back facing the sky. The spring water floated down from the cliff east, and the flying beads rolled snow, making it a sure thing. At this point, Xu Xiake was deeply impressed by the strange peaks and peaks, and there was nothing strange among the geese, but he looked at the water. The emergence of water curtain cave can make up for this. In particular, he described the scene at that time: the spring water floated down from the east side of the cliff and it won the game. The wind blows spring dance, with different voices and shadows. The color suddenly opens and the sun shines on the cliff. He lingered in it for a long time and couldn't give up. He was deeply impressed by the beauty of Turtle Peak. Otherwise, how can we imagine that the 3,000-word Journey to the Turtle Peak in Jiang Youyou's Diary would be so vivid and delicate in his works?
At that time, Xu Xiake, as a civilian, was lonely and poor, went to Kunlun and traveled to the western regions, and his title was unique. What a person has not achieved, what a person does not know. A Travel Notes of Xu Xiake is a shining example of the perfect combination of poetry and distance. Xu Xiake's travels have been widely circulated in the form of manuscripts since the Ming Dynasty. In Qing dynasty, it was printed and published many times in modern times. Today, with the development of tourism, Xu Xiake's Travels has even become a well-known tourist guide map, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the popularity of the old street and Guifeng in Yiyang County and is a valuable wealth of Yiyang's landscape tourism culture.
