Youth Journey-Dream and Reality

journey

Inscription: The mountain is near the moon, the moon is small, and the sidewalk is bigger than the moon. If a person's eyes are as big as the sky, he should see that the mountains are higher and the moon is wider.

"The air at the top of the mountain is good and the scenery is better. Close to the sky, the moon is more round and you can see the Yangtze River in the distance. "

So the little boy decided to climb higher. The Yangtze River in the distance and the moon in the sky are all teenagers' hobbies. He can recite several poems about the Yangtze River and the moon, and he can imagine the bright moon and the great river in his little head.

Finally, on a spring weekend, friends agreed to climb the mountain-the highest mountain in their hometown. Because there is a temple on the mountain, people nearby call it "Jiangbei Xiaojiuhua Scenic Scenic Area". Teenagers have read in books that Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism, and it is also the Dojo of the Earth Treasure King Bodhisattva. Now I have a chance to show off among my friends. But there are more braids among peers, and the words of teenagers are much less. Especially the little girl with round face and big eyes, who likes to smile at teenagers, is so annoying. In fact, I knew she would come together. The bright moon, the Yangtze River, the scenic spots in Xiaojiuhua Scenic and big eyes danced in the minds of teenagers all night.

A group of children set out early in the morning, skipping and laughing all the way. The teenager was a little anxious and wanted to go up the mountain early, so he urged a few words. Nobody cares about him, he can only move forward painfully. "Come out for fun and hurry to reborn." . Then they got into a ball, swearing and yelling, and there was nothing, which soon subsided.

Next, take a shortcut and take the path, and soon you will reach the foot of the mountain. A shallow and clear mountain stream winds out with the mountain shape. The bottom of the stream is all smooth and grotesque, and small fish and shrimp swim around in it. It can be clearly seen that the stream is on the gravel side of the mountain. There is also a bamboo forest nearby, where dew rolls on the green bamboo leaves, reflecting a little light; Yellow bamboo poles are slender, swaying and rustling in the wind; The scent of Shan Ye has disappeared. The children dispersed instantly, and some went to the stream to play with water and catch crabs; Some people go to the bamboo forest to dig bamboo shoots, although the harvest is not much, but it does not hinder their happiness and noise. Teenagers are enjoying all this quietly. "If there are two more huts, there will be a stone table and bench at the door, and there will be elders-flax to help bamboo sticks and laugh at children drinking tea slowly. It is simply a fairyland on earth. " The boy fell into his own world again.

After crossing a small stone arch bridge, a few big red characters are faintly visible above the temple gate-Daisanji. The children crowded into the temple excitedly and looked around: the Buddhist temple entered several times before and after, with red and yellow walls, double eaves and flying corners, glazed tile roofs and resplendent. The children were shocked by the majesty of the temple and soon quieted down. Climb over a steep and long stone step, and you will find the Hall of Great Heroes. There are several hideous King Kong Bodhisattvas in it, too timid to look directly at them. The teenager and a few friends pretended to be calm, learned to look like adults, folded their hands and bowed. There is no lottery for burning incense, mainly because there is no money, but it is free to worship Buddha. Teenagers are curious about some scriptures in the Buddhist temple, but they dare not read them, because a few monks nearby didn't give them a good look. Many years later, an adult boy finally invited a Buddhist scripture from the temple and had a simple exchange with the monks. It turns out that these solemn monks don't know Buddhism as well as themselves. It was a childhood dream.

Go through the temple and continue climbing the mountain. There are no mountain roads, stone steps or even gravel roads. You can only climb hard along the traces of people cutting firewood and raking grass in the mountains. Hold on to the branches around you when your feet slip. Some sections are quite steep, and looking up is the heel of the person in front. The older children turn and pull the younger ones from time to time to remind them to pay attention to safety. With the help of his partners, the teenager gritted his teeth and sweated profusely. I said to myself: "The world is magnificent and strange. The extraordinary scenery often lies in danger and distance, but people are rare. Where there is a will, there is a way ..."

"To the top of the mountain", the cheers in front gave the teenager some motivation and finally climbed up with both hands and feet. Take a break and look around: the foothold is a small meadow on the top of the mountain, with a pile of jagged rocks standing on the side. Several friends are desperately climbing the mountain, and the teenager has lost his physical strength and interest; There are also several old pine trees, standing in the strong mountain wind. "Without Wangjiang Pavilion, you can't see the Yangtze River." The teenager couldn't help but whisper. "It's gray in the distance," someone answered. "No", "I can't see clearly at all" and "I haven't seen anything for a long time".

An older child tried to end the discussion: "This mountain is too short. We should climb a higher mountain so that we can see better scenery." . "I'm going to marry to the river in the future, and I won't worry about the mountains and the fog anymore," said the little girl with a round face and big eyes suddenly.

The teenager fell silent. ...
