The story is beautiful and touching, which seems to coincide with the words of "fire robbing mountains and moving away" in the poem. Looking back hundreds of years, it can be regarded as a perfect explanation. However, what modern people need is real science, not beauty and illusion. So, what is this poem saying?
The key sentence is that "water flies with fire to rob mountains." Luo Hongxian wrote poetry in the Wuwu year, that is, the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558). According to the Records of Taiyuan County, eight years later, "Jinci Mountain moved in the forty-fifth year of Ming Jiajing, and the towers were on fire." So the local people thought that Luo Hongxian knew what had happened before, and "he should have made a poem", which was really "moving mountains to rob the fire" and was amazed.
In fact, the mountains around Jinci have moved many times in history: in the fourth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1577), in the forty-second year of Kangxi (1704), and so on, especially in June of Zheng Deyuan in Ming Dynasty (1506). The so-called "moving mountains" means that the ancients did not understand the crustal movement of the earth, and may regard rock caving caused by earthquakes and natural weathering as "moving mountains". Xianju Temple Mountain is located in Sanli, south of Jinci, and is connected with Hangweng Mountain. Coincidentally, the year of the Mountain Movement was exactly 52 years apart from the "Wuwu Year" (1558) when Luo Hongxian visited Jinci, which coincided with the empty meaning of "50" in the latter sentence "The Empress has been here for 50 years".
This is not just a coincidence-we know that Luo Hongshen is a professional geographer from a few strokes in The Scholars of the Ming Dynasty. He gave up his official position and traveled around the world. On the one hand, he is detached from officialdom. On the other hand, more importantly, "what he got on the paper is superficial, and he knows nothing about it." As a geographer, he has the opportunity to collect first-hand information and enrich the scientific basis of his works. Fifty years ago, the witness was still alive, and he could not have heard or felt anything.
Facing the landscape cultural relics of Jinci Temple, Luo Hongxian remembered its thousand-year vicissitudes: the three ethnic groups divided into Jin, and the water poured into the waves; The Tang Dynasty was shocked and burned Jinyang; There is also the great change of "moving mountains" fifty years ago. As a scientist, he can't explain such a strange phenomenon, just as Newton can't explain the source of the force of the first movement of celestial bodies more than one hundred years later. Newton turned to his "God" and demonstrated the existence of "God" with "science". Luo Hongxian also confidently concluded that "the emperor and his mother have been here for fifty years". Only divine power can do this, and he can't help feeling a lot. This place is really: "Dragon, tiger, hidden dragon, hidden"!
The mystery of hanging pen tablet is the truth here. Of course, the beautiful story will spread for a long time and become more beautiful and moving. Just like to make up for the shortcomings of life, the illusory and beautiful drama will never die.
