Theo, Yu Yunnian, kept the five mountains in their childhood, and Xuan Yue went out of the five mountains and longed for a car. Long-term plans to pass Xiang, Yun and Meng Taihua, and Jiange is connected with Yun Stack, which is the predecessor of Emei. However, my mother's old habits will change, and I have to do things too well first, so I'd better have a good trip. The first upstream along the river is long, so it's too fast to go back by land boat. Between Lu Xingru and Deng, the road is slightly equivalent to the road between Shaanxi and the border, and it can be both Song, Hua and Tai Yue. So, taking Gui Hai (the third year of the apocalypse, AD 1623) as Zhong Chunshuo, he decided to start from Song Yue Road. /kloc-On October 9th, I came to Huangzong Store in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Climb up the stone slope from the right side of the shop and see the holy monk pool. A clear spring is a culvert pool, ending in Bishan and a half. Deep streams at the foot of the mountain overlap, and there is not a drop of water when it dries up. Go down the mountain to the bottom of the canyon and walk south along the winding road. The triangular mountain is like a tripod, surrounded by mountains, beautiful and charming. The bottom of the ravine was littered with stones, which turned it into purple jade. The stone walls of the two cliffs turn around, and the colors are more moist, meticulous and moist; To clean up, but also to spray beads! Ten miles, climb the stone Buddha ridge. Five miles away, I entered the county boundary and saw that Songshan was still sixty miles away. Twenty-five miles southeast of Qiqi Road, passing through Mi County, to Tianxianyuan. The courtyard is dedicated to the third daughter fairy of the Yellow Emperor.

White pine is in the atrium behind the temple, and it is said that three women shed their bones. Four people hold songs, one book is three dry, the tripod is towering in the sky, the skin is clean as fat, the net is like powder, the branches are flat and the wind is green, and the towering figure is in the air. This is really a spectacle!

Zhou is surrounded by a stone fence.

A porch faces north, and the topics in the porch are absolutely full. Wandering for a long time, looking down at the dripping water. The stream suddenly falls here, a cliff covers it, and water drops below. Still close, still to the west gate. Thirty-five miles, entering Dengfeng, called Gengdian. Go south to Shijie Road, the tax driver stops and the tax is "closed".

25 miles south from the path, all roads are covered with mud and ridges. As time goes on, you will get a stream. Cross the stream and head south on the ridge, overlooking the stone in front of you. I entered Kaifeng from the girder, which was called "land and sea" in ancient times. Springs are hard to find in land, but stones are hard to find in springs. Near the Song Dynasty, I saw winding peaks, so there were landscapes in the north and streams in the south, but they were all covered with mud. There is a stone raft 30 miles southeast of Dengfeng, which is a stream in Songshan Valley and will go down to Ying.

The water was underground all the way, and suddenly there were angry stones. Gangshan Canyon between rocks is dangerous when it is closed. Water seeped out under threat, and water and stone merged endlessly. On two cliffs around the water, there is a stand and a flying geese; In the middle is a female rhinoceros drinking water and a crouching tiger. The lower the island, the higher the platform. The higher the stone is, the farther it is from the water, but it is empty, becoming a cave and a hole.

When we estimate the distance between cliffs, we take eight feet as the ruler, but the water has passed. The water counting ruler, on which the stone stands, is a state color, and the skin is bone, which is very beautiful. Unexpectedly, among the white reeds with yellow hair, it is a gratifying sight!

Denglong, ten miles west, is Gaocheng town and ancient Gaocheng county. The observation deck is in the north. Twenty-five miles northwest is the Yue Temple. When entering Donghuamen, it was already sunset, and Yu He followed him down the mountain from the northeast of the temple. The heavier the stupa, the ten miles, and then the mountains and Luyan Temple. A few steps outside the temple, that is, a stream fell into the stone gorge.

On both sides of the gorge, it becomes summer. After the temple was built in the upstream, there was a cliff at the bottom of the gorge, which was semi-regular, that is, semi-circular, with the upper cover cut off. Flying springs fall with the air, dancing and dragging down, and the valley is slightly scattered, which can be used as a water curtain for Wuyi. In this case, it is strange to get water, but water can get stones, and stones can help water. If you don't stop the water and let it fly, you will be the best in the competition. Wandering below, the Sanskrit monk paid for the tea and hurried back to the Yue Temple. It was already dark.

On the morning of 21st, I visited Emperor Yue. Out of the temple, go east to the top of the room. According to the Song Dynasty, the rank of worship is the first of the five mountains, so it is called Gaosong, which is juxtaposed with Shaoshi and has many caves under it, so it is also called Taishi. The two rooms are flirting with each other, but there are few uneven rooms, while the Thai room is dignified and respectful. Looking from the top of the emerald green, even the cliff has been crossed, columns are like screens, exhibitors are like flags, and they feel more like rocks. The worship of fiefdoms began in ancient times, and the Han and Wu dynasties worshipped cities with the difference of Song and Huzhi. When the Song Dynasty approached Gyeonggi, the ceremony was well prepared. It is still the name of Tiebanqiao and Summer Resort. When it is full, I really want to see it.

The southeast branch of Taishi is called Huanggai Bee. Under the peak is the Yue Temple, which is grand and solid. The stele stands in the imperial court, all from Song and Liao Dynasties.

The right path of Dengyue is under the Long Live Peak, when the emperor lives in the south. When I approached Yan Lu yesterday, I crossed the East Peak first. In the middle of the road, I saw mountains and peaks, with cracks like doors in the middle, or "Golden Phoenix and Jade Girl Valley". Since then, there has also been a road to the top, guided by the expectation of finding firewood, and has since embarked on a slope. Close to the program source, the road turns gradually, avoid it, and never cross the risk. In the north, there is an earthen mountain, one strand of which can only be climbed, about 20 miles. Then it went through Dongfeng and turned out of the crack door. West narrow ridge. Looking at the top of the line, it's a dark day and I can't stop. Even the smog means that the fog is getting heavier and heavier. If you open it a little, you can have a bird's eye view of the cliff, and then you can walk in the sea. Five miles, straight to Tianmen. The cliffs overlap and the road is covered with snow. The guide pointed out that the steep point is the big iron beam bridge. Turn west, three miles, bypass the top of the mountain and go south, and climb the rock. Those who live in seclusion in the rocks are not smooth, and those who are smooth rarely return to Tibet. The top of this rock is against the cliff, the bottom is facing the ravine, supported by caves and mountains, and the left and right sides are terraced fields. There was a hole when I first entered, and the wall of the hole was inclined; After a few steps, the cliff suddenly stopped five feet, so you can't stand on tiptoe. The guide is Lao Chai, agile and quick. He sounds like an ape. He jumps over the cliff sideways, takes two wooden branches and crosses as a pavilion road. After finishing, the rock dome covers, including milk spring, danzao and stone couch. Climbing up from the edge of the rock, there is another one hanging in the valley on three sides. The guide said, "I can have a bird's eye view of Dengfeng from below, as far as the dustpan and the bowl." When the fog is blocked, nothing can be seen. Out of the rock, turn two miles to the north, and you will reach the site of the white crane. The address is in Shanping, which is easy to escape from danger, solitary and standing, and has a wide range. Three miles further north, from the top, there are three towers of Zhenwu Temple. There is a well beside it, which is like jade. It is called the Royal Well, and Song Zhenzong Summer Resort is also digging and dredging.

Fan Zhenwu Temple. When asked about the way down the mountain, the guide said, "The right way is from Viva Peak to 20 miles.

If you hang it from Xigou, you can save half, but the road is extremely steep. "I am happy with the color, which means there is nothing strange in the song, so I am not in danger.

I am eager to follow it, so I will be in front of the staff.

At first, it was still according to rocks, which were all clumps. Then I slipped down two stone gorges and looked up at the cliff. First, the fog drops on the top of the mountain are like rain, then gradually open up and the scenery becomes more and more strange. However, they all fell into the ditch. No matter what they can't do, they can't stop. The lower the cliff, the stronger the cliff. If one gorge is poor, turn to another gorge. I don't blink. I don't want to rest. If it is ten miles, start from the canyon, reach the flat ground, and get the right path. Through the bottomless pit. Cross the mountain in the west, rush to the middle of the grass, and reach the right path of Huangsi for five miles. There is golden lotus in the temple, which is a specialty and not found anywhere else. Shan Yu suddenly came, so he borrowed the cabin where he slept with monk Leo. Its East Stone Peak is sandwiched between trees, born every month, and is coming out of the gorge. Also known as "Songmen Waiting for the Moon", it is a planned canyon, that is, sitting on it, only feeling the clouds, you will know that you are from here.

22 Xiushan, eastbound for five miles, arrived at the abandoned land of Songyang Palace. But the three generals, Bai Rushan, said that the cypress tree was lush and withered, which was sealed by Han; There are seven people in the big one, five in the middle and three in the small one. There is one room and three trees in Baibei. Mr. Ciercheng refers to Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi. To the west of cypress, there is a stone pillar of an ancient temple, most of which is not buried in the soil. Many Song people wrote that Fan Yangzu had no choice, and Shanggu Kouwuzhong and Su Caiweng were only a few.

In the southwest of cypress, there is a magnificent monument, and a kind of dragon carved on all sides is very fine. On the right is Pei Jiong's Tang Bei, one of the eight-part essays.

East Erli, past the old site of Chongfu Palace, also known as Wanshou Palace, is the place where the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty lived. In the east, there is a Mukai stone, which is as big as several houses, and there is a flat stone on the side. I went to Dongbali, went back to Yue Temple, and saw the inscriptions in Song and Yuan Dynasties.

Xibali, enter Dengfeng County.

Five miles west, take the path to the northwest.

And Wuli, Heshan Temple, "Tea List" in its west, Yuan carved also.

There is a stone tablet under the back servant wall, which was written by Lu Changyuan, the secretariat of Ruzhou, by Tang Zhenyuan and Lu Ying. On the west is the wasteland of the altar, and the stones are finely carved and broken.

Five miles southwest, out of the road, ten miles to Guodian. Turn southwest and you will find Shaolin Road. Wuli, entering the temple, Surui Guangda Normal Office.

On the 23rd, the clouds were gone. Enter the main hall, worship Buddha and climb Nanzhai. Few houses in Nanzhai are extremely high, too high and too big. And the peaks are steep and steep, bearing the name of "Jiuding Lotus". Overlooking the ring, the latter is nipple, winding east to Taishi, and its shadow is Shaolin Temple.

The temple is very beautiful, and the old and new monuments in the courtyard are lined up and perfect. The open space sandwiched by chí on the middle steps is loose, tall and tidy, if there is a scale. Few rooms stand in front of us, and there is no top in sight. Visitors stand like a wall, which means that few rooms are much better than others. I entered the temple at dusk yesterday, that is, I asked about the Taoist temple. They all say there is no way out in the snow. It's better to be sunny when climbing mountains. Deng Yu's room was full of clouds, or he thought the fairy was rejected, but I didn't know that the mountain was huge, so it was necessary to stop showing half of it.

If there are fewer rooms working in the shade, though should Wei Yun point me out?

Today, it is very embarrassing, it coincides with its meeting, and Wu Can stopped it! I climbed up the mountain from the south of the temple, six or seven miles, and arrived at the second ancestral hall. At this point, the mountain suddenly fell to the ground, and the cliff fell into the into the pit. There are springs in the pit, and sudden stones fly down, also known as "bead curtain". When Yu Ce's staff was independent, it became more and more difficult and longer, and its rock was not as deep and steep as Yan Lu's. The deep pool under the rock is bright and blue, and the frozen snow is four products. Then, go to the blast platform. Hanging alone on three sides, leaning against the blue wall, there is a pavilion that says there is Xiaotian, and the footprints of the fingers have never been here. After that, they all climbed straight down from the stone ridge, with Wan Ren on both sides and the stone ridge hanging in the middle, almost without an inch of land. Then they had to climb the mountain with both hands and feet, instead of lacking mountaineering equipment.

Starting from a peak every 7 miles. The mountains are wide and wide, and if they are dangerous, they will all be lost. From the grassy thorns to the south, it took about five miles to the top of Nanzhai Village, and the soil covered by the screen began to run out. Nanzhai actually has a small room at the north top. Since Shaolin said so, it is for Nanzhai. The top of the lid splits in the middle, and it spans north and south. The north top is like a screen, and the south top is in front. The difference is just to find the height, and there is a deep cliff in the middle, which goes straight down like a section. Among the two cliff clips, there is a special peak at the bottom of the pit, which is higher than the group peaks. The so-called star-picking platform is also the center of the small room.

The top and the north cliff are separated, and it is absolutely impossible to cut each other. Looking down on it, a little bit belongs to it. When I took off my clothes and boarded it, Jiu Feng in the south stood in front and half of the north stood behind. Everything is deep and bottomless. The strong wind in the gāng sky came from the beginning, and several fake John flew away with red feathers.

From Nanzhai to the northeast and down to Tushan, I suddenly saw the footprints of Tiger Tiger as big as rising. The grasshopper walked five or six miles in the forest, arrived at Mao 'an, smashed stones, boiled rice into porridge, sipped three or four bowls, and became hungry in Huo Ran. Monk Gan 'an leads Longtan Road. At the next peak, the ridge gradually narrows, earth and stone emerge, thorns and vines hang, branches hang, and stones are suddenly cut, which is out of reach.

Turning to the top, the peak overlooks the winding place, and the stone is cut as before. For a few miles, it is a detour, and then five miles, then Longtan ditch is also. Looking up at the lost place, cliffs and rocks are on the cliffs of Wan Ren.

Flowing springs gushed from it, and gloomy cliff rocks were scattered to Xia Qi. There is a stream in the gorge, and the two cliffs are quiet, such as the peak house and the swallow base. Every five miles, a Longtan, heavy and suspicious, is too deep to measure. After Erlongtan, I went out of the gorge and stayed in Shaolin Temple.

On the 24th, it started from the northwest of the temple, passed through Ganlutai and passed through the Chuzu Temple. In the north four miles, the fog is like the wind, exploring the ancestral cave.

The cave is two feet deep, not as wide as deep, and the nine-year-old law wall is also there. The cave gate faces the temple and the small room. There is no spring underground, so there is no habitat. Down to the early ancestral temple, there was a shadow stone for Buddhism in the temple. This stone is less than three feet high, black and white, and looks like a statue of a monk. The sixth ancestor of the Central Temple planted cypress, and three people surrounded it. This tablet computer was brought from Guangdong. Jia Yong and Song Ya Shaolin. Shaolin pines and cypresses are all cultivated, unlike Yuemiao, where servants bend down and this pine is also loose. Down to Ganlu Terrace, the mound rises, and there is a Buddhist sutra hall on the ground. The next calendar hall is triple, and the steles are scattered, which is dizzying. Then there is the Thousand Buddhas Hall, which is magnificent and beautiful. Dinner is a great place to go. Ride to Dengfeng Road, cross Xuanyuanling and stay in Datun.

Twenty-five miles southwest, the mountain suddenly breaks, that is, there is a gap, which is deep enough for Zhou Shi to float. There is a gap between the east and the west, and a wooden bridge on the water is woven. Crossing the west, the cliff is more dangerous. Every mountain is split into cliffs, and the cliffs are full of Buddhas.

There are dozens of big holes, all dozens of feet high. The steep cliff outside the big hole leads directly to the top of the mountain, and the top is covered with small holes, all of which are Buddhist. Although the skin size, but there are many people, I can't count what is described here, that is, the famous Longmen Grottoes.

On the left side of the cave, the spring water flows down from the mountain and into the square pool, and the rest flows into Yichuan.

The mountain is less than 100 feet high, and the clear streams are endless, which is a rare sight here. Yi Quemo is on a par with the shoulder, and the hub means that one after another is very prosperous. It is the avenue of Chu and Yu, passing through Guan and Shaanxi in the northwest. I take Xiyue Road from here.

Xu Xiake is in Songshan

Reading volume: 560

Xu Xiake was a great traveler in Ming Dynasty. He has traveled all over China almost all his life. Wherever he went, he recorded what he saw, felt and thought in detail, and compiled a book "Xu Xiake's Travels", which left first-hand and valuable natural, landscape and historical materials for future generations.

Xu Xiake started his trip to Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue on the first day of the second month of the lunar calendar on 1623, and arrived in Zhengzhou on 19 that month. He arrived in Mi County from Zhengzhou on the same day and arrived in Dengfeng Gengdian in the evening. Arrived in Shicong River on 20th, arrived at Zhongyue Temple after success, watched Luya Waterfall in the evening, and stayed at Zhongyue Temple. On 2 1 day, Taifurang climbed a steep mountain, went down the mountain, passed through the Wuji Mother Cave and headed west to the Fawang Temple. On the 22nd, I went east to Songyang Academy-Chongfu Palace-Qimushi-Zhongyue Temple, then turned west, crossed Dengfeng County to Huishan Temple, and finally arrived at Shaolin Temple. On the 23 rd, he boarded the Shaoshi Mountain Dazhai and climbed to the top of the sky. On the 24th, I started from Shaolin Temple, passed Ganlutai and Chuzu Temple, and went to Wurufeng to see the desert cave. After that, I went down to visit Shaolin Temple, passed Xuanyuanguan and left Dengfeng on the same day. Visit Longmen Grottoes on 25th, and then go west to Huashan Mountain.

From Zhengzhou to Dengfeng, Xu Xiake only took six days. Although he felt a little cursory, he still wrote a diary about his visit to Songshan Mountain (/u/584c54250 10003ne), in which the natural landscape, human landscape and historical legends along the way were described in detail and accurately. Today, even people who have been to Songshan countless times can hardly record it as accurately as he did. It can be seen that Xu Xiake did a lot of "homework" before going to Songshan, and should have written a very detailed "Raiders".

Starting from the 20th, Xu Xiake started the Dengfeng activities at the foot of Songshan Mountain. First, I went to Shicong River in the east of success and saw the original site of Wu Zetian's banquet "Shicong will drink". Strangely, on the way from Shiconghe to Zhongyue Temple, he didn't turn to the stargazing platform after his success, and his article also mentioned that "the shadow measuring platform is in the north", which shows that he knows this place. When we arrived at Zhongyue Temple, it was getting late and the sun was probably going down. Because it is February, this day is not long enough. But he went straight to Luya Waterfall, ten miles away from Zhongyue Temple. When he got there, he sat down and drank the monk's tea. In such a short time and such a long journey, he arrived at a scenic spot like some tourists today. After taking a photo there, he hurried to the next scenic spot.

Xu Xiake boarded Songshan Taishi on 2 1 day. Because he had hired a local guide on his way to Luya Waterfall the day before, he climbed the mountain from the east of Taishi instead of the traditional route. The road he took was not the steep path that came out from Luya Waterfall today, nor the so-called "Lao Dan Trail" that people often take today, but he started from Zhongyue Temple, first went to the northeast, and at a place between Zhongyue Temple and Luya Waterfall, he climbed up against a big gap in the western mountain peak (probably a cliff more than 20 meters from Lao Dan Trail), and after reaching that gap, he turned north along the ridge. After that, he roughly followed today's footsteps, crossed Erxian Cave and Baiheguan, and went north to reach the peak of Ji Jun. It can be seen from the article that when he climbed to the top of Jijun Peak more than 300 years ago, there were three Zhenwu temples on the peak, and there was a Song Dynasty imperial well next to the temple, and there was water in the well. None of these things exist today (look at these descriptions, they are quite similar to today's Songshuwa, except that he is talking about the top of the mountain, and there are still more than ten minutes' journey from Songshuwa to the top of the mountain). Xu Xiake chose the trail from Ji Junfeng to Songshan Academy for his downhill route today. There should also be hiking routes at that time. After he went down to the Wuji old mother cave, he didn't go directly to the county seat at the foot of the mountain, but turned west to the Fawang Temple. On this day, there was a heavy fog on Songshan Mountain. Xu Xiake saw some buildings and hardly saw anything except climbing the mountain. It can be said that when he went to Taishi, he was no different from some donkeys who abused them now. Besides climbing the mountain, he buried himself in it and became a "donkey" grinding tellurium. In other words, Xu Xiake, like some climbers, can say: I have been to the dangerous peak of Songshan Mountain.

One day on the 22nd, Xu Xiake basically saw the human landscape at the foot of Songshan Mountain. He saw three complete general cypresses in Songyang Academy. Maybe ten years after he saw them, three generals were burned to death by lightning. Therefore, Xu Xiake may be the last person to see the three generals and leave a message. I visited Chongfu Palace, Qimushi and Zhongyue Temple (I just lived there the day before, so I didn't have time to see it), then I turned back to the west, crossed Dengfeng City to Huishan Temple, and then rushed to Shaolin Temple. As can be seen from Xu Xiake's article, when he arrived in Songshan, all the temple buildings in Songshan were dilapidated and barren, and they were not well maintained.

23rd is the day when Xu Xiake went to Shao Shi. He started from Shaolin Temple, went south to Zu Er Temple, and then climbed to the top of Dazhai. As can be seen from the article, Xu Xiake reached the highest place in Dazhai, which is where the donkey friends often eat and rest today. But the star-picking platform described in his article, namely Liantianfeng, is not today's Liantianfeng. Now, from Liantianfeng to Dazhai, we have to go down to a deep canyon, then to Cui Hua Peak, then to the crucian carp back, Modu Cliff, to the unnamed peak, and then to the top of Dazhai. The journey is very dangerous and takes nearly two hours. The connection between Xu Xiake and Dazhai Tianfeng is very easy: "Looking down, there are traces of each other. I took off its clothes and boarded it, and then Jiu Feng Sen in the south top stood in front, and half of the north top was behind. " It can be inferred that the mountain he climbed was not Liantianfeng, but the unknown peak in the east of Dazhai. The route down the mountain at the back also illustrates this point. He then returned to Dazhai, circled Dazhai, arrived at Dazhaikou, and then went north, taking Longtan ditch, which people often walk down the mountain today. That road is also very steep. When I went down from there, I suspected that it might be Xu Xiake's downhill route. However, when I saw the difficulty of the journey, I thought he might not take such a difficult road. Now that I think about it, he had to go down from there, because the bottom of that road was Longtan and Erlongtan in Longtan ditch (see the article "Walking on the back of crucian carp" /U/584C5425065438.

In this way, Xu Xiake spent three days, one in his wife's room, one in the cultural landscape at the foot of the mountain and one in Shao Shi's room, basically seeing Songshan all over. On 24th, I went to Wurufeng, visited Damo Cave, visited Chu Zuan when I went down the mountain, and returned to Shaolin Temple to visit it again. After lunch, he left Xuanyuan for Dengfeng.

From Xu Xiake's Diary of a Journey to Songshan, we can know that Xu Xiake pays attention to the famous local cultural landscape everywhere. Not only does he climb mountains, but whenever there is an important cultural landscape, he also goes around specially. For example, he started from Zhengzhou instead of going directly to Songshan Mountain, but spent two days first visiting Sanxian Temple in Mixian County (I don't know how he knew about that small place, even for today's people), and then I went to Shicong River in the southwest (few people went there now, although it was related to the poor water quality and changed scenery caused by pollution in previous years, it may have a lot to do with people's no longer paying attention to historical allusions), and then I took a fancy to Yue. In Songshan, in addition to going to too few outdoor rooms, he also carefully looked at temples and Taoist temples. And recorded the state at that time, leaving valuable information for future generations.

Fortunately, today's Songshan Mountain, once a temple palace, is gradually being restored and rebuilt. More and more mountaineering routes have been built in Songshan Mountain, making it safer and safer for people to climb mountains.

In the third year of the Ming Dynasty's apocalypse, in mid-spring February, Songshan Mountain, which is a blend of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, welcomed a special guest-Xu Xiake, a travel-stained traveler, geographer and writer. Xu Xiake, a 32-year-old, traveled from Dengzhou and Ruzhou to Zhengzhou Huangzongdian after 19 days, visited Tianxianyuan in Mi County and arrived in Dengfeng. He saw the victory of Songshan in five days, leaving a model for future generations to visit Songshan for five days.

On February 1623 and 19, Xu Xiake stepped into Dengfeng, and it was getting late, so he had to spend the night at Jingdian Geng Store in Ludian Town today. He didn't sleep well that night. He is planning his trip to Songshan Mountain, and drinking in the long-awaited dream of Songshan Mountain. The next day, he couldn't wait to go south and visited the world-famous Small Guilin-Shicong River. "(Water) At this point, I suddenly met the angry stone, and between the stone and the Gangshan Gorge, there is a tendency to merge. Water seeped out under threat, and water and stone merged endlessly. Two cliffs stand upright around the water, and a wild goose flies, and the one in the middle drinks, crouches tiger, island and terrace. The higher the cliff is, the farther the water is, but it is empty. This is a cave, a hole ... The water runs in it, and the stone stands on it. It is state-colored, skin is bone, and it is very beautiful. On his arrival in Dengfeng, Songshan gave him an unexpected surprise. After his success, he went to Zhongyue Temple happily. Seeing that it was still early, he couldn't restrain his inner excitement. He went to Luya Temple again. " A few steps outside the temple, that is, a sound flowed through and fell into the stone gorge, and the gorge on both sides of the strait was exhausted. After the temple was built in the upper reaches, a cliff was built at the bottom of the canyon, which looked like a semi-regular ring, with the upper cover cut off. The flying spring dances in vain, and the valley is slightly scattered, which can be regarded as the water of Wuyi. It is amazing to cover water in this area. Water can be reduced to stone, and stone can help water, but it can also make water fly. It is better to compete with Yi. "Well-informed Xu Xiake praised the beauty of Luya Waterfall.

After spending the night in Zhongyue Temple, I paid a visit to Emperor Yue the next day, and under the guidance of a woodcutter, I went straight to the top of Songshan Mountain from Yunugou, Jin Feng. Although the clouds splash ink, I am still in high spirits. Crossing the railway bridge, climbing the cliff, crossing the Baiheguan and climbing to the highest peak. After enjoying Zhenwu Temple and Yujing, I hung down from Xigou. At that time, there was no hiking route today, and it was extremely difficult to go down the mountain. "But, we all hang down the ditch, no matter what we can't do, we can't get there. The further we go down the cliff, the stronger, the poorer and the more we turn around. I don't blink, and I can't ask for interest. " It's very dangerous to climb the cliff and go down the mountain road on tiptoe. "It is said that there is no danger in Song Dynasty", and the preconceived Xu Xiake realized that the pot is made of iron and Songshan Mountain is dangerous. In amazement, he went through the Wuji Cave to the Fawang Temple, borrowed a couch and a monk's room, saw the golden lotus flower, a specialty of Songshan Mountain, and saw the "Song Gate Waiting for the Moon" sandwiched between the two peaks. The next day, he visited the general cypress, Ercheng Temple and Datang Monument in the abandoned site of Songyang Palace, and then passed the old site of Chongfu Palace and Qimushi. After lunch in Zhongyue Temple, I passed Dengfeng City, Huishan Temple and Guodian, and went to Shaolin Temple to live in the monk's room of Master Ruiguang.

On the 23rd, under the guidance of Qian 'an, a monk of Shaolin Temple, Xu Xiake climbed the second ancestral hall through the frozen snow and sat in the pavilion named Xiaoyoutian on the alchemy platform, where "no one can explore the secluded place". He looked at Nanzhai, where the snow was so deep, and remembered his long-cherished wish that "Li Yu kept the five mountains and recorded them, and Yuan Yue produced five mountains and longed for you to cut them". "Climbing from the stone ridge, there are cliffs on both sides of Wan Ren, and the stone ridge hangs in between, with almost no one inch of land. From the grass spine to the south, about five miles, and then to the top of Nanzhai village ... it covers the top, splits in the middle and spans the north and south. If the screen is displayed in the upper north, the sword will stand in the upper south. The front of the cliff is just looking for feet, the middle is a deep cliff, and the straight part is like a section. Between the two cliffs, there is a special peak at the bottom of the valley, which is higher than Zhuge Liang's peak. The so-called stargazing platform is also the center of a small room. The top and the north cliff are separated and cannot be cut from each other. Looking down, they belong to each other. I can take off my clothes and climb up. South Jiu Feng stands in the front, the north half, and the barrier is behind. Everything is bottomless. As soon as the wind blows, several fakes fly away. " Brave and fearless Xu Xiake boarded Dazhai when the road was covered with snow, and climbed the mountain peak south of Dazhai.

It is easier to go up the mountain than down it, and Xu Xiake has been verified again in Shaoshi Mountain. "Turn northeast from Nanzhai and go down to heaped-up mountains, and you will see a liter of tiger tracks. The grasshopper walked five or six miles in the forest, arrived at Mao 'an, smashed stones, boiled rice into porridge, sipped three or four bowls, and became hungry in Huo Ran. Monk Gan 'an leads Longtan Road. At the next peak, the ridge gradually narrows, earth and stone emerge, thorns and vines hang, branches hang, and stones are suddenly cut, which is out of reach. Climb up and look down at the winding place of the peak. The stone head was cut back as before, and it didn't go back and forth for a few miles ... Looking up at the lost place before, the steep cliff stones were all on the cliffs of Wan Ren, and the flowing springs spewed out, and the gloomy cliff stones were scattered into Xia Qi. "

On 24th, Xu Xiake walked out of Shaolin Temple, looked northwest, then passed Ganlutai and Chuzu Temple, climbed Wurufeng and visited the desert. Did he just visit the Dharma Cave? Obviously not. He and dharma are old friends. He came to have a heart-to-heart talk with Fa and thank Fa. It is because of Dharma's face-to-face teaching spirit that he was able to travel around the world and visit Songshan Mountain. At this meeting, Dharma taught him the supreme bodhi that leads to the other side of faith. After lunch in Ruiguang's monk's room, I reluctantly left Dengfeng, crossed Xuanyuan Pass, set off for yique, and headed west for Yuehua Mountain.

Five days have passed, and Zhongyue Songshan is also satisfied, because the young Xu Xiake carefully wrote down the diary of these five days-"Diary of Songshan Tour". Three hundred and eighty-four years have passed, and the whirlwind of history has swept away countless memories. The tourist map of Songshan Mountain has erased the Shangluyan Temple, Zhenwu Temple, Huishan Temple Tan Jie and Xiaoyou Tiange on the platform of alchemy, but it has not erased the memory of Songshan Mountain in these five days.
