The towering 800-mile Yimeng is mainly composed of mountains such as Yishan, Mengshan, Beidashan, Lushan, Menglianggu and other mountains and countless hills. Yishan Mountain, Mengshan Mountain, and Lushan Mountain are all above a thousand meters above sea level. They have high mountains and steep slopes, steep ridges, continuous peaks, cascading mountains, steep cliffs, rugged boulders, towering ancient trees, waterfalls and springs, deep streams and clear streams. Yi River and Shu River linger like a belt. Wenfeng Mountain, Fulai Mountain, Yu Mountain, Maji Mountain and Seventy-two Gu are majestic, beautiful and beautiful.
Rizhao Market in the east of Yishan is close to the Yellow Sea, and the blue sea and mountains complement each other beautifully. The Lushan Cave Group in Yiyuan County is composed of dozens of large and small caves, with numerous strange rocks in various shapes. In addition, the Weaver Girl Cave in Yanya Mountain in Yiyuan, Zhaozhuang Cave and Mengshan Mountain Cave in Pingyi County, and Xiaoliangzhuang Cave in Fei County also have their own characteristics. There are hot springs gushing out in Linyi, Yinan and other places, which can be viewed and recuperated. Tangtou Hot Spring in Lanshan District is a national first-class hot spring and has become a famous health resort. There are many ancient and famous trees in Yimeng. A ginkgo tree on Fulai Mountain is nearly 4,000 years old. It was the place where the king of Lu and Juzi met during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is known as "the best ginkgo tree in the world". There is a large golden osmanthus tree in Lijiazhuangzi in the north of Rizhao City, which dates back more than 340 years and is known as the "King of Osmanthus in the North". Rare ancient and famous trees such as thick-shell trees, snow rose trees, five-cornered maples, ginkgo trees, and black bullet trees in cities and counties such as Rizhao, Tancheng, and Yiyuan are all over 300 years old. Pingyi County currently has a national forest park.
There are nearly a thousand existing cultural relics and historic sites in Yimeng. There are mainly ancient human sites, ancient cultural sites, ancient buildings, ancient stone carvings, former residences of celebrities, etc.
Mengshan, known as "Dongmeng" in ancient times, also known as "Yunmeng", is the tallest mountain range in Yimeng Mountain area. It spans the four counties of Feixian, Pingyi, Yinan and Mengyin, and is about 150 miles long from east to west and 30 miles wide from north to south. There are three main peaks in Mengshan Mountain: the one with an altitude of 1,001 meters in the east is called Wanghailou, formerly known as Dongmeng; the one in the middle with an altitude of 1,026 meters is called Guaxinzhuzi, also known as Yunmeng; and the most precipitous one is Guimengding in the west with an altitude of 1,156 meters.
At the root of Nanshan Mountain in Guimengding, there are ruins of the Zhuanyu Kingdom. According to historical records, the descendants of the Fuxi family founded by the King of Zhou were responsible for offering sacrifices to Mount Meng and were called Zhuan Yu, attached to the State of Lu. Legend has it that King Zhuan Yu held a ceremony to worship Mount Meng at the Wanshou Palace at the foot of Mount Meng. Later, people built a temple here called Ye Meng Temple. This is what Li Daoyuan called "Meng Temple" in "Shui Jing Zhu". ".
Starting from the Wanshou Palace, we walked through a dense forest for about two miles. There was a small river with a broken bridge on the river. The stone tablet at the head of the bridge was engraved with the three characters "Yingxian Bridge". According to legend, Emperor Qilong It is across this bridge that you can reach Guimengding.
Walk three miles up from Yingxian Bridge to Taohuayu. Legend has it that Sun Bin, a military strategist during the Warring States Period, learned military skills from Guiguzi here. Guiguzi saw that Sun Bin was honest and reliable, so he once asked him to look after Taoyuan here. After crossing Taohua Valley and passing the red gate, we arrived at the palace. It is sheltered from the wind and sunny, quiet and elegant. Walking up the stone steps to the platform, there are palaces and temples on the platform. After leaving the palace and walking up, the mountain becomes steeper and steeper, making people gasp for breath every step of the way. It is called Hui Maling, because no matter how strong the horse is, it must turn back here. Not far after climbing Huimaling, you can hear the mountain wind howling and the pine waves bursting. You can see a dark boulder in front of you, blocking the way like a monster with teeth and claws. This is the famous Black Wind Pass. Looking north from Heifengkou, you can see the deep valley below through a mountain gap. Going up through Xiaofengmen, Dafengmen and other passes, the mountain path at your feet is completely covered in pine and cypress grass. After clearing away the weeds and walking out of the eighteen turns with complex terrain, the Nantianmen, which is suddenly enlightening, appears in front of you. The Jiulong Palace Guanyin Hall above the Nantian Gate is a five-room stone temple with stone walls, stone pillars, stone beams, stone purlins, and even the roof is paved with stone slabs.
After passing the Nantianmen, fording a mountain stream, then climbing up a steep slope, we reached the top of the peak. The shape of the peak resembles a crawling turtle, hence the name Guimengding. Standing on the top of the peak and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of Yimeng mountains and rivers. Faintly visible to the northwest is Culai Mountain; looking to the east, Meng Liang Gu is clearly distinguishable; to the south is the towering Baodu Gu with beautiful peaks; to the north are Yishan and Lushan.
Because of the beautiful scenery and charming scenery of Mengshan Mountain, it has attracted many poets and poets to visit here since ancient times. Everyone knows that Confucius came here. Cai Yong, a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once left his footprints here.
In the early autumn of 745, Li Bai and Du Fu, the two most outstanding poets of the Tang Dynasty, met in Yanzhou. They went hand in hand to visit Mengshan Mountain and visited Dong Lianshi and Fan Shi who lived in seclusion here. The beautiful green mountain scenery and the joy of meeting Li Bai inspired Du Fu to become a poet, and he wrote "Seclusion with Li Twelve Bai in Search of Fan Shi":
Li Hou has some good lines, which are often like Yin Keng. Yu Yidong is a guest, and he pities you like a brother.
Drunken in the autumn quilt, walking hand in hand with the sun. I want to be in a secluded place even more, and I'm looking for Bei Guosheng.
I am happy when I enter, and the little boy who serves me is clear. When the scenery falls, we hear the cold pestle, and the clouds surround the ancient city.
I have always chanted the praises of oranges, but who wants to ask for water shield soup? I don’t want to talk about hairpins and wats, but I love the sea.
After going down the mountain, we came to a wine workshop in Lanling Town. Li Bai left the earliest wine advertisement here:
Lanling fine wine with tulips, jade bowl filled with amber light.
But the host can make the guests drunk, and they don’t know where they are in a foreign country.
The Tang Dynasty poet Xiao Yingshi also visited Mengshan. His poem "Mengshan Composition" describes the scenery of Mengshan he saw:
Dongmeng Town Haiyi, He It is more than a hundred miles away. The clear atmosphere of autumn is pure and misty, and the cliffs are hidden in the sky.
In the return of labor, the rest are temporarily climbing. In a place where poverty is almost extinct, I occasionally have a dark mind.
The clouds are mixed with rainbows, and the sound of pines is confusing the feng shui. In the twilight green forest, inside the Yao Xiao Dan Cave.
You can hear the fairy birds, but you can hardly see the feathered people. There is so much depth in this, and the sages have reached the limit in the past.
Zi Shang donated to the customs, and Ji Sui returned quietly. Yun Zhen Dao is vast, and the nostalgia for the past is endless.
The white deer often wanders around, and Huang Jing is full of laughter. Gu Yushang was involved, and his family business focused on writing history.
It is a trend to learn from a teacher when you are young and to be in your prime. Fang Chi is famous for Guilin, and the beauty of Taoyuan is not yet available.
Looking again at the end of the year, you are so envious of your family.
It seems that if his family hadn't expected him to study and become an official, he would have stayed there and never left. You see, he is even envious of the boy guarding the gate in the mountains!
Su Shi, who served as the governor of Mizhou (now Zhucheng County) in Shandong during the Song Dynasty, also left poems praising Mengshan, such as "Don't be alarmed by the changes in the mulberry fields in the Bohai Sea, but come and see the spring in Guimenglu" , "I heard that there is a residence in Dongmeng, and I would like to offer Shu water and see Shao Dan."
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to the south of the Yangtze River and built a palace at the foot of Mengshan Mountain, where he stayed and played and climbed high to compose poems.
Zhuge Liang, Wang Xiang, Wang Lan, Yan Zhenqing and Yan Gaoqing, who were born at the foot of Yimeng Mountain, were collectively known as the "Five Sages". Emperor Qianlong wrote a poem for the "Five Sages Temple":
The filial piety can be exhausted, Prince Xianglan, the loyal one sacrifices his life to Yan Gaoqing.
The different origins encountered indicate that Zhuge is the whole person.
When Ji Xiaolan, a great talent under Qianlong, visited the south, he entered the Yimeng Mountain area from Tai'an, passed through Mengyin, Yishui, Linyi, Tancheng, and then entered Jiangsu. In his poem "Mengyin" he writes:
The road leads into the hometown of Zhuanyu, where the chaotic mountains overlap and recognize Eastern Mongolia.
Don't ask again at Yiren's old house. Du Lao's poems and notes contain the old man.
While passing by the Yishui River, he wrote another poem "Yishui":
The horse drinks from the Yishui water, and the Yishui water flows continuously.
Travelers are sparse in geography, and every time they look for traces of their past.
Plagiarism from Zhuang Lao Tan, fragmentation and explanation.
The spring breeze sings the meaning of bathing, and the three sons are unpredictable.
Even if you travel here, I will be aware of it.
Kang has the same name by chance, so why do they have such a strong affinity?
It is well known that thousands of huge ships are needed for transshipment.
The Houling of Dayouchuan has magical powers and never misses his duty.
There is a good process for dredging, but its origins are not easy to understand.
I am willing to inform local ministers, and Confucian scholars seek truth.
Like Jinggang Mountains, Dabie Mountains and other mountainous areas, Yimeng Mountain is also an old revolutionary area. There are the former sites of the Shandong Wartime Working Committee during the Anti-Japanese War, the former site of the Shandong Branch of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the former site of the First Branch of the Anti-Japanese University, the Daqingshan Battle Site, the North and South Daigu Defense Battle Sites, and the Lunan Martyrs Cemetery, etc.
During the War of Liberation, after commanding the Battle of Laiwu, Comrade Chen Yi wrote "Like a Dream: Linyi Mengyin Xintai":
Linyi Mengyin Xintai,
The road turns around and returns to the stone monster.
A beautiful scenery,
Seventy-two ravines are lovely.
Lovely, lovely,
The Chiang Kai-shek attack will be defeated.
Then he commanded the Battle of Menglianggu. There is now the "Menglianggu Battle Memorial Hall" at the bottom of the Menglianggu Temple, and the Menglianggu Battle Monument on the top of the temple.
"A Journey to Yishan" written by Qiao Yu of the Ming Dynasty is one of the famous travel notes that has been handed down to this day. The main idea is as follows:
At dawn on Guisi Day in June, I left Mengyin county seat. The fog rose thickly, covering the mountains and filling the deep valleys. The fog seemed unwilling to disperse and nothing could be seen clearly. Suddenly I saw two rainbows standing over a deep stream. In June of the Wushen year of Hongzhi (1488), I had seen them in Yushe Mountain, and even here twice. Thanks to the fog, I saw this scene again. Cross Yishui to the north and stay in Yishui County.
Jiawu Day, (the next day). Walk around the hill to the north. Yishan Mountain can be seen from a distance, entrenched there in a precipitous posture, standing high above the peaks. Only then did I know that Yishan is also called Dongtai Mountain for a reason. It is also recorded in "Zhou Li Zhi Fang" that as the main mountain of Qingzhou, it was already famous in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Therefore, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dedicated an official temple to Yishan, it is still listed in various sacrificial ceremonies. middle. At the end of the day, we passed Mulingguan (on Dayan Mountain, one hundred miles north of Yishui County). Muling Pass is located on Daxian Mountain. It is said that Duke Huan of Qi said: "Duke Zhao gave me the territory of my ancestors, reaching Muling Pass in the south." This is the place. It is also the place where Emperor Liu Yu of the Liu Song Dynasty crossed over to conquer Nanyan. The towering city walls and high wall stacks, winding like a belt, stand majestically. Ten miles north along the pass, Ning Weichen, who participated in the political affairs, came to greet him. Turn west to reach Dongzhen Temple and stay in the temple's fasting room.
On Yiwei (the third day), learn the etiquette of sacrifices, eat fasting meat, and bathe to cleanse the body (preparation for sacrifices).
At dawn in Bingshen (the fourth day), the Zhaimu sacrifices and other matters are over, and the sky is clear. I saw that Yishan Mountain was illuminated by the colors of the glow. The glow was flowing and colorful. It was a very strange and worthy sight. After a while, the sky immediately became cloudy again. The clouds penetrated the solid soil and rained, and the rain began to fall quickly. Looking forward to visiting Baizhangyan after dinner, the sun suddenly appeared brightly. We walked fifteen miles to the mountain to the west of the temple, crossed the stream, stepped on the gravel, pushed away the thorns with our shoulders, trampled down the grass with our feet, and entered the mountain. From time to time, I heard the clear chirping of birds coming from the forest. I expected that the sound was from exotic birds with strange feathers, but they were not visible due to the shade of the lush vegetation. At the foot of the rock, the steep rock is a hundred feet high and dozens of feet wide. Waterfalls and springs flow down from it, flowing downward like a jade dragon, swirling rapidly, roaring like thunder; and like rain falling from the sky. , splashes of water fell from all sides. Moisten the moss on the spring rocks and moisten the wisterias, forming a clear green pool under the rock with an area of ??more than ten feet. There are also big rocks in the pool, all of which are green in color, which is very cute. I sat under the Baizhang Rock and sent my followers to draw water from the spring to brew Yangxian tea and drink it. The sweet and refreshing fragrance has been filling my lungs. He also selected two rocks that could be used to write large characters. The one on the south side of the spring was about two feet high; the one on the north side of the spring was about one foot high. I cut down wood to make a ladder, and I climbed up the ladder to write. Ning Weichen looked at me from below and was very worried about me. I wrote "Waterfall Spring" on the south stone, and "Baizhang Rock" on the north stone. I also chose two rocks beside the pool and wrote "Feihong" and "Flowing Electricity" respectively. After finishing writing, Ning Weichen held a glass of wine to me on the pond. I sat on the stone beside the pond, raised my head and faced the flying spring, feeling as if I was living outside the human world. Therefore, I lament that people who like to visit from ancient times to the present only know that there is a waterfall spring in Kaiyuan Temple (probably Kaixian Temple) in Lushan Mountain, and the spring here is also a waterfall, and it comes from the main mountain to the east of Qingzhou, but it has disappeared and no one Know.
Probably because it is located in a remote and deep forest, inaccessible to people, so there is no chance of encountering talented people? Or does nature cherish its secrets and don’t want to reveal them, waiting for the right time to reveal them again?
But things in the world are roughly the same, but their fates of becoming prominent or hidden are completely different. How can it be that there is only one waterfall and spring?
The spring water comes out of the mountain and becomes three rivers: one is the Shu River. After coming out of the mountain, it flows through Yishui County, northeast to Ju County, and flows into Yizhou Prefecture; it also flows from Jiangsu into the Yellow Sea. One is the Wen River, which flows out from the east foot of the mountain and flows southeast into Anqiu; the other is the Xumi River, which flows out from the west foot of Yishan Mountain. It is called Juyang Water. It is called Jushui in "Guoyu" and Yuan Hong (now Henan Taikang County people) called it Jumei, and Wang Shaozhi (Linyi people) thought it was Jumei. It flows northeast through Yidu and Shouguang and flows into the sea, which is the water of this waterfall spring.
The current Yimeng Mountain is not as remote as Qiao Yu said, so the scenery cannot be seen in the world. Transportation is now convenient, and the "every village access" highway project is about to be completed. Tourism development is underway here, and the Yimeng tourist area is emerging, ready to welcome tourists.
There is a winding mountain road on Menglianggu, and there are waterfalls and wild waves in the Mengshan tourist area in Pingyi County in summer. On weekdays, the mountain streams are flowing. There are vertical ladder railings on the cliff. Pines and cypresses in the mountains block the sun, and there are shrubs and thorns in the middle. Although the mountain is steep and dangerous, there are trees to climb. The road leads directly to the root of the mountain, and the red tiles among the green trees on the top of the mountain are hotels, which are summer resorts. You can take a car to climb Guimengding from the east. Although it is a narrow path from the west, you can see many places of interest. In Feixian County, the "finger-moving rocks" among the green pines and cypresses have become a natural landscape; now, a square "molten cave" formed by a volcanic eruption - a grand canyon of golden rocks - has been discovered.
