The Historical Humanity of Mayi Mountain

The hilly area borders Bohai Sea in the east, Qilu in the south and Beijing and Tianjin in the north. Since ancient times, it has been the place where nine rivers in North China Plain enter the sea, and it is the final meeting point of nine river cultures. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng sent alchemist Xu Fu to lead 3,000 virgins into the sea to seek the medicine of immortality. Chui fook left, the first emperor came in person, looking forward to the return of Qian Qian's ten million children. Wang Zi Island in Haixing got its name. Today, the folk custom "Angel Festival" around Yanshan and Haixing evolved from the sacrificial activity of "seeking children" in Qin Dynasty (the local dialect "seeking" is pronounced as "believing"). In order to live forever, Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, also went to Penglai Fairy Mountain to see immortals. He is not only a "thriving ship, which makes thousands of people who are said to be gods at sea beg Penglai God to stay at sea", but also he dials a post car on land and sends thousands of alchemists to quietly pray for immortality. Because of this, two observation platforms were built in Xiaoshan to observe and contact people's two ways of seeking immortality. Today, there are still two sites, and the local attack is called "Wudi Taiwan". The two stations are 30 kilometers apart, and the North Station is more than 30 kilometers northeast of the hill. In recent years, Haixing cultural workers accurately located the South Station 6 kilometers east of the hill according to the research of related cultural relics and documents.

In 206 AD, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, led a handsome army to take charge of the crusade of pirates to the hilly area (Magu Mountain, Wudi County, Shandong Province, also known as Jieshi, 20 kilometers away from the mountain. ) The area "faces the sea by the mountain", climbs high and overlooks, and writes the famous poem "Looking at the sea". It is 30 kilometers northeast of the mountain (slightly south of the Taipei platform of Emperor Wu). According to legend, "Bandaojing" is the place where Cao Gong drinks horses. The poem "Bandaojing" written by Wang Ao, an official of the Ming Dynasty (now a native of Mengcun County): "It is freezing in the south of the emperor, and it is mighty and extraordinary; The jealous woman took the vendor's money and drank the horse, but it fell for several years. " Wang Tianguan also has a poem "Wuditai": "Build a platform of more than 100 feet on the land, and climb to the sea to have Xianju; In his later years, he mourned and regretted, and his great achievements were always empty. "

"The mountain is not high, but there are immortals." Mountain is a famous historical mountain and a monument of traditional culture, with rich and meaningful human landscape. According to historical records, there are many ancient buildings on the mountain, such as Wanghai Temple, Huang Yu Temple, Wang Yao Temple, Longwang Temple, Qilongkou Xianren Bridge, Octagonal Glass Pagoda, Baiyi Grandma Temple and Qinglong Temple. There used to be magnificent trees such as cypress and ancient tea, which covered the sky. Time has passed, and these historical sites have disappeared, but the remains are still there. Several woodcut couplets unearthed in Longwang Temple in the 1940s were written by He, a famous scholar and painter in Qing Dynasty. He said: "Spring comes to the sky without color, but when rain comes to the world, there is sound."

Good birds choose wood to live in. With its unique geographical location and good feng shui, the mountain has always been a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. The old folk song "Mountains are mountains, horses are mountains, rivers of blood and bones are mountains ...". After investigation, a large number of ancient remains, especially ancient tombs, have been discovered in different historical stages since the Neolithic Age. Many pottery, porcelain, bronze mirrors, bronze swords, copper pots, coins and other cultural relics have also been unearthed on the mountain (there is also a tiger charm, which was unearthed in Houshan Village, Yu Xiaoshan and lost in his early years. ), now more hidden in the county cultural relics protection.

Xiaoshan site itself is a typical ancient tomb group. There are many ancient tombs on the hillside of Simian Mountain, especially the tombs of the Warring States and the Han Dynasty. The most prominent one in the south is the tomb of Liu Yang, a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province (according to the test, the owner of the tomb is Liu Bang's great-grandson and Liu Yang, the cousin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), commonly known as Tuanshanzi. In August 2003, due to improper construction of a military unit, the main peak of the mountain was seriously damaged. But it also solved the mystery that the main peak that has plagued cultural relics workers for many years is suspected to be artificially built. Provincial, municipal and county cultural relics management departments jointly formed an archaeological team to investigate the main body of the hill and ancient tunnels (there are many tunnels in the hill during the Warring States Period or the Han Dynasty, which are suspected to be large-scale underground fortifications of that year. ) conducted a two-week exploration and investigation. It is found that the main peak of this mountain is not naturally formed. As suspected by Haixing cultural relics, it is made by artificially compacting mixed sand layer by layer. In the rammed layer, a layer of rice slurry is added every two meters to fill the hardness of the yellow sand. According to the previous field investigation and textual research on scattered pieces of jade clothes unearthed around it, experts determined that it was a tomb artificially rammed and sealed 1800 years ago, and it was most likely the tomb of Liu Yi, the ancestor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Hong, the king of the Bohai Sea. In the 1960s, a large-scale tunnel was dug in the hill to prepare for the war. After being dug out together with the ancient tunnel, there were six or seven bronze wares such as bronze ding and cultural relics such as grey pottery pots and pots (unfortunately, they no longer exist).

After thousands of years of weathering, the hills are covered with fertile soil, and the dunes in the west are soft and sandy, with unique scenery. The spring water in the mountains is sweet and refreshing because natural precipitation permeates layers of flaky cotton stone, which is accumulated year by year and filtered year by year. It is rich in metasilicic acid, strontium, selenium, lithium, zinc, iodine and more than 20 kinds of trace elements necessary for human body. There are many stone wells (there are about 200 ancient and modern stone wells), and spring water gushes from deep pools, nourishing generations of hardworking and intelligent talents. The fluorine content of mountain spring is extremely low, which is a good product for drinking and irrigation. It is said to be better than Laoshan mineral spring. The vegetables it irrigates are pure in color and fragrance (hills, leeks, etc.). Since ancient times, it has been famous for hundreds of miles, and melons and fruits are thin and sweet, all of which are good products. Wang Qingyuan's "Yanshan Zhi Zhu Ci" in the Qing Dynasty says: "The vernal equinox has passed, the autumn equinox has passed, and the sound of dates is played; There are 100,000 trees in three or two families, and the red clouds shine on the top of the field. " There is a lyric "Mountain Ballad" in front of the author: "Since ancient times, there have been mountains in Cangzhou, and the springs on the hills are sweet; Butterfly flying warbler flowers thousands of trees, coriander different fruit naturally ... "This is also the reason.

The hills are not only rich in cultural landscapes, but also have beautiful natural scenery. The snow on the hill and the waves on the East China Sea have long been included in the scenic spots of the ancient Yanshan Mountain, which often makes people linger. At this point, many literati often improvise poems to express their feelings. Emperor Taizong's eastward expedition to North Korea over mountains and mountains was moved by the scenery here, leaving behind beautiful masterpieces such as "Folk Songs" and "Folk Songs". For many years, the academic circles have been unable to reach an agreement on the annotations of the two works. This spring, there were two new breakthroughs in Haixing literature archaeology. One is that Han Yun's hometown is actually Haixing Mountain, and the other is that Emperor Taizong sang Haixing Mountain. The poem "Yong Xiao Mountain" says: "The heart of the valley is lingering, and the far peak is opposite to the lotus; The diameter is thin and wrinkle-free, and the pine is small and smoke-free. " Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, climbed this mountain and intoned with the poem "Scene at the Scene": "Zhou Qi has a good place to climb the landscape cave; In the autumn night, the boat is in the east, and the beach tree is in spring. " Qi Feng, a scholar (now from Zhaomaotao Town, Haixing), was a reporter of Zhao Yan Metropolis Daily and a saint of Qi Shengyong's family. There is also "Snow on the Mountain": "With Xiao Yun and Sunny Peak, Yao Taiwan independence sees the sky; Ji snow gray silver strewn at random, cold light faint jade exquisite. When the Zen monk left home, he shouted at the ape and the woodcutter stepped on his shoulder. I have a thatched cottage near, and I sit in the Crystal Palace. " Yang Mingwei is friendly with the monks in Xiaoshan Temple, and has a poem "Wanghai Temple in SuXiaoshan Mountain": "The headlights of the rock are on, and several places are seen in the monk's room; Luo Xue fainted at the first night, and the Milky Way filled the top. People go to Shandian far, and go into the sea forever; Looking east tomorrow, Penglai is mixed. " Li Yongshou, director of Jiajing Guanglu Temple in Ming Dynasty (from Haixing County) also wrote the poem "Yishan": "Yishan grows in the water and looks wide in the east; The horse rises to the top of the sky, and the Buddha lamp shines high on Mars. Herbs hide yam along the way, forgetting to swim and swallow the fishing rod with bait; I asked the old monk about the ruins and pointed to Tan Qilong in the north. " ("Tan Qilong", also known as "Riding Longkou", is a scenic spot in the north of Shanxi. )

The poem "Mountains and rivers have clear sounds" written by Shangshu of the Qing Military Department and Emperor Sun Baoyuan: "Suddenly there is nowhere, and the mountains are beautiful; The forest is dense and popular, and the stream is harmonious. Springs swallow in rocks, Song Ming in the month; This is a loud and clear painting by Wan Er. Lonely elegance, empty pool waves flat; Straight with the sound of silk and bamboo, sound like stone. There is also "the giant fish longitudinal gull": "the fish lurks in the water and swims leisurely; Return to the valley at the right time, and the road will flow vertically. Suddenly the golden shuttle jumps, and the jade foot floats; Waves turn over thousands of miles of snow, and scales surge into hundreds of rivers and autumn. Who can reach the sea, Teng Tao? You are the only dragon. Watch the excitement when punishing and rush into the ditch. " (Barracuda barracuda, Wa Bohai Sea, Yongshan)

Wang Qingyuan, a native of Yanshan in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Yanshan Zhuzhi Ci": "Yanshan should be in the Gulf of the Near East, and Lushan is bigger than Gulangyu; Where is the salt mountain in Lushan Mountain? Looking over the mountains to see the mountains. " In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao (Haixing) wrote "You Ma Yi Mountain": "Driving Ma Yi Mountain, the smoky mountain is lush; Crisis turns to stone path, and people follow the grass. The government bowed to the secluded space step by step; There is a thousand-year-old tree in the middle, which is strange. Flowers are ripe at four o'clock, and the fragrance is dim and green; Loneliness brakes poverty, and the tower shadows the forest table. On the shore of Baiquan, the stream is full of spring; People are idle and quiet, and there are few passes here. The spirit traces back to the nine rivers and the terrain controls the three islands; Sit with a pot and listen to the birds singing. "

"There have been many sages since ancient times, and there are unprecedented passers-by today." This mountain has been designated as a provincial volcanic landform nature reserve, a cultural relic protection zone and a municipal key tourism development zone, and tourists from far and near come here for sightseeing. I believe there will be more poems and beautiful essays to praise this mountain. "Xu is far away, and the king of the Bohai Sea sleeps on the top of the mountain" (the author's old couplet). With the continuous construction of Huanghua Port and the rapid rise of Bohai Economic Circle, this hill will surely become a bright pearl in the crown of Bohai New District in Cangzhou.
