During the Qingming Festival, the scenery is clear and the air is bright. It is a good time for an outing. So I made an appointment with a few friends and took a casual self-driving trip.
In the early morning, the night was dark and drizzle fell. My friends and I drove on the highway, crossed the Yellow River, left Juancheng, passed through Fan County, and headed west. The light rain did not affect our interest in playing at all. I sat in the car and looked at the villages and towns speeding past in the darkness on both sides. I couldn't help but marvel at the vastness and greatness of the motherland.
After four hours of travel, we finally arrived in Huixian, Henan. Taihang Mountain stretches like a giant dragon in the central part of the motherland, meandering from the northeast to the southwest. The majestic Taihang has given birth to countless geomantic treasures and created many magnificent rivers and mountains. These scenic spots and historic sites are shining like pearls.
We followed the navigator. It's funny to say that we have been tricked by this modern new technological gadget. It led us to a dangerous mountain road: the mountain road was half submerged, with falling rocks and dangers everywhere. We drove carefully until the mountain road was completely blocked by landslides. The mountain road was tight and there was nowhere to turn, so we had to slowly reverse the car for half a mile. My driver friend breathed a sigh of relief, and we also sweated a lot. We really experienced the feeling of riding a "roller coaster". Navigators, like e-books, are programmed manually and errors are inevitable. At this point, I suddenly remembered an ancient poem: What you see on paper will eventually make you feel shallow, but you will definitely know that you have to do it.
After being guided by others, we finally arrived at the gate of Baligou Mountain. I saw majestic buildings and towering stele corridors, which were particularly spectacular. When I entered the door, the three characters "Taihang Hun" came into view. I was a little confused: What does "Taihang Hun" refer to?
The morning rain stopped suddenly and the air was fresh. We tourists were able to enjoy the rain without the pain of being wet, and we suddenly became more interested. Everything is green, and the fragrance of mountain trees wafts in the wind, refreshing and refreshing.
Baligou is an excellent place for mountains and rivers. The organic fusion of mountains and water, the wonderful combination of movement and stillness, makes people forget to leave. The mountains are not high, but they are spiritual if there is water. Baligou is a beautiful and beautiful mountain. As high as the mountain is, so is the water. Fountains, roaring springs, and waterfalls appear one after another. The sound of Jiangjun Falls is like thunder, echoed by the mountains and valleys. The Tianhe Waterfall releases thousands of meters high, with flying beads splashing jade. Water Curtain Cave is a blessed place. Outside the cave, the water roars and pours, like a jade curtain hanging from the sky; inside the cave, there are stalactites, stone pillars, and stalactites, all kinds of strange things, which are dizzying for the eyes. . After passing the Water Curtain Cave, you can see bright pearls twinkling, white curtains falling, mountains and rocks picturesque, waterfalls falling beside themselves, and the cool air hitting you. An old saying goes, "The red sun walks in the sky and you don't recognize the noon, and the sweat will stop itself in the hot summer." The water molecules collide and split, forming dense clouds and mist, giving the entire Baligou a mysterious color. In the misty clouds, there seems to be an immortal coming. Coupled with the sound of bells and chimes and the sound of Sanskrit music, it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland.
Baligou is a strange mountain with strange shapes and different postures. Some are like an old man preaching. Some of the hills are round with a protrusion on them. Some people jokingly call them like women's nipples. If you look closely, it's true. A long time ago, the mountain here collapsed, and a huge boulder rolled on top of another boulder. At first glance, it looked like two people were hugging each other and kissing each other. This passionate kiss lasted for thousands of years, and the locals named the scenery here. The "Millennium Kiss" shows people's beautiful yearning and yearning for love.
There are many fascinating folklore stories on the mountain. "Albizia Julibrissin Tree" tells the story of Liu Xiu, the leader of the Han Dynasty's resurgence: Liu Xiu escaped from Wang Mang's pursuit and fled under this tree. He fell ill and was rescued by the mountain girl Su Niang. The two had a touching love story. Therefore, this tree is called the "Hundred Years of Harmony Tree", which expresses people's pursuit of a happy marriage and a happy life. Today, this tree is covered with silk and satin, blessing all the lovers in the world.
The mountains in Baligou are steep. The rocks here are mostly shale, which is easy to weather. While walking on the mountain road, gravel suddenly rolled down from the side, which was frightening. Looking up, the rocks are overwhelming the top of my head, and the mountain wall is too steep to climb. And I think the most dangerous place is the ladder to heaven.
Finally, I conclude with a small poem:
The Tianhe Waterfall hangs high in the sky,
Juebigou further studies chemical engineering.
The mist covers the clouds like the upper world,
The mountains, flowers and green trees send the fragrant breeze.
The curtains hang down and thunder trembles in the cave,
The ladder hangs in the clouds with great courage.
Built by people at the top of dangerous valleys,
The soul of Taihang penetrates the rainbow!
