In the Thirteenth Dynasty, the palaces were covered with clouds and smoke. What kind of story is there when looking at Mang Mountain at night?
Looking at Mang Mountain at night, what can you see? Seeing the scenery of Yique on the south bank of Luo City, the silent Luo River flowing eastward, seeing the majestic spirit of the king who established the capital as the capital and dominating all the nations, I still saw the prosperous Luoyang that was built, destroyed, destroyed and rebuilt again!
Looking at Mang Mountain at night, what can you think of? I think of the sunset, the rushing rivers, the city of Luoyang filled with crowns, and the majestic palaces and palaces singing and dancing. What I am thinking about are the memories of the past, the nostalgia of the world, and the longing for the future!
Looking at Mang Mountain at night, what can you realize? Liu Bang's old age lament of "The strong wind is blowing" is still the last blood of the great man. His ignorance and ignorance of "I am happy here but don't miss Shu"! Oh, the reincarnation of the Han Dynasty is not the reincarnation of all dynasties, and the reincarnation of history!
View of Mang Mountain at night
1. View of Mang Mountain at night, the palaces of the Thirteen Dynasties were all used as tombs
In ancient times, many literati and elegant people have visited the site to nostalgic works. . To the north of Luo City, on Mang Mountain, there are old forests of ancient trees, as green as clouds, which naturally attracted poets and poets to write about the scenery, sigh about the past, and reflect on the past and present. However, it is so old that it is not enough evidence. Nowadays, there are no traces of the piles of loess and farmland. We can only look at the sky, remember the ancestors, and get a glimpse of the beautiful scenery of the past from one or two vicissitudes of life sites and numerous classics.
As one of the eight world-famous sceneries in Luoyang, "Beimang Night View" has its own uniqueness, but it does not necessarily lie in the beauty and beauty of Beimang Mountain itself. Even if its scenery is beautiful and unparalleled for a while, the vast land of Heluo and its rich treasures will not make this cemetery an important tourist attraction in the past and present. I think this scene is in my heart, not in things, this scene is in my thoughts, not in my mind.
The afterglow of the setting sun
Being among the forest of steles and tombs, seeing the rich and noble cemeteries buried in weeds and scattered as far as the eye can see, there is a feeling of longing for the past; Touching the mind and sighing that things are impermanent and the world is the most miserable, there will definitely be some extraordinary realizations. The steps are slow, as if falling into the fog, looking back on the eternity, losing one's composure for a moment, maybe one of the feet is not obeying the command, and stepping on the heads of emperors, generals and ministers, one can't help but feel a lot of emotions.
2. The geomantic omen is victorious and the world reincarnates, not only the emperors and generals are buried
Looking at Mang Mountain today, the mountain is plain, not tall and majestic, and there are no rare birds in the mountain. At first glance, there are many beasts and even less beautiful water, forests and waterfalls. At first glance, they are not worthy of the title of "Eight Scenic Spots of Luoyang". Could it be that the ancients were just using it to make up for their meddling? People in later generations didn't know why, but after taking a walk around it, people praised it for its excellent Feng Shui and a holy land for immortals.
If things go on like this, rumors spread, and the emperor's new clothes are released. However, there is certainly some truth to the Feng Shui treasure land that the ancients regarded as a god. However, apart from Feng Shui, the world is reincarnated. Can't we gain some insights into life, improve our realm, understand some context, and understand some truths here?
Feng Shui shape wins
And the theory of Feng Shui has always been confusing. From the perspective of the ancients, the land of Beimang is: "It is controlled by the torrent of Kunlun, the twin rivers of Yiluo, the dangers of Chenggao, and the high mountains of Erxiao." It is very consistent with the "Feng Shui method" of Guo Pu, the originator of Feng Shui in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. , the principle of "getting water is the first priority, hiding wind is the second best".
In fact, this kind of mountainous terrain is not the only one in the vast land of China. In history, Guo Pu was also a meddlesome person who used his sharp tongue to stir up trouble. Is this another unintentional exaggeration to make fun of the people of the world?
The charm of Mang Mountain is not obscured by little doubts. "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang" is still the dream of people all over the world. Perhaps no one can calculate clearly how much power Mangshan has buried in the past thirteen dynasties. The mottled scenery of Mang Mountain has not become dim due to the erosion of time, but has become more legendary and thicker.
The Mangshan Mausoleum Group in the Farmland
No one can calculate how many Hengdaos have been sacrificed countless times on this land. The soul of scarf! In the records of the Twenty-Five Histories in the Huanghuang Classics and in the vast mist-like legends of unofficial history, half of Mang Mountain is romantic, mostly because of these figures that turned into dust in Mang Mountain.
3. If you don’t follow Dongluoshui, who will be buried in Beimang Mountain
Luoyang’s majestic city and magnificent palaces and gardens are the best in the world.
Luoyang, with its prosperous economy and developed culture, naturally has countless dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and literati gathered there. When it was prosperous, it was home to hundreds of thousands of people, and at its peak, the city had more than a million residents. Under the living conditions at that time, Luoyang was undoubtedly synonymous with wealth and glory.
The ancients believed that the soul is immortal after death, and they enjoyed all the bliss in the world during their lifetime. After death, they naturally wanted to stay in the blessed land of Luoyang, overlooking the city, and dominate the world. The emperors, generals, ministers, and intellectuals who were buried in the ancient tombs in Mangshan had all witnessed the glory of Luoyang City. However, what they did not expect was that the prominence during their lifetimes, the noise of their burials, the tombs in the mountains, and the inscriptions on the mausoleums were just In the eyes of future generations, the scenery, the grass beneath our feet, and everything else have turned into smoke.
Night view of Luoyang Ancient City
Sigh! ridiculous! No wonder the great writer Bai Juyi expressed his hidden meaning when he said, "If you don't follow Dongluoshui, whoever's family will be buried in Beimang Mountain". No one can see through the eternal law of ashes returning to dust and soil returning to soil. The idealistic philosophy that life and death are determined by fate and wealth lies in heaven actually buries a handful of yellow earth on the mountains and rivers, hoping that future generations will be rich and prosperous for thousands of years.
Unexpectedly, history changed and dynasties changed. Huanghuang was buried with great respect, but within a few hundred years it was looted and completely destroyed. In later generations, miserable people were buried in the original tombs, and they continued to follow the path. The pit is still the same pit, and the tree is still the same tree, but things have changed and people have changed. Thinking about it, even if there are some residual souls, they can only sigh to the sky, and there is no place to return.
However, Mang Mountain can win the same reputation as Suzhou and Hangzhou in life and death, not only because the soil of Mang Mountain contains the bones of the powerful and sages of the past dynasties, but also because the foot of Mang Mountain once sat the wealth of the thirteen dynasties. The prosperous city of Luoyang is also due to the countless vicissitudes built up by the ups and downs of the thirteen dynasties.
4. Luoyang has a lot of troubles, but Luoyang is very lucky, a historical legend.
Luoyang has a lot of troubles, this classical city, with tall and cold city wall crenellations, dark gray bricks The wall, the dark brown bloodstains, and the many treasures derived from the Dingding place of Wuhua Tianbao were mostly destroyed by the war.
Luckily, Luoyang was not abandoned by the heroes of the world, with its tragic scenes of neighing war horses, rivers of blood, and the solemn slaughter of devastated people with no survivors. Therefore, "its prosperity flourished and its demise was sudden." The wheel of history of human civilization has rolled by like this, passing by emperors and generals, passing by the enslavement of common people, passing by heroes, and passing by bears.

Those glorious years and tasks that passed by are now lying in the loess of Mangshan, covered by wind and sand, and forgotten by history. , trampled by the vain footsteps of tourists.
Who cares which dynasty you are an emperor or a general?
Facing Mang Mountain, too many narratives always make people a little uneasy. Maybe they can only stand on the top of the mountain and breathe secretly. In the distance is the fiery red sunset, near are the stacked tombs, and the prosperous Luoyang is at the feet. .
