On the third day of April, Renyin went with his wife. Looking at Yaotai from a distance, the solitary peak is towering, green and empty, and the pagoda is towering.
The road in front of the scenic spot is being renovated, and there are no tourists. My wife swam down the hill and waited for me, so I climbed the mountain alone.
There is no one on the mountain road, and there are many cypresses on both sides, and one person monopolizes a mountain.
There are several pavilions for rest along the way. There are poems and songs sung by celebrities in past dynasties in pavilions.
The height of the mountain is about160m. I hoped all the way and climbed to the top in half an hour.
The platform at the top of the mountain is about 50 meters square, surrounded by a Taoist temple-Taixu Hall, which was rebuilt at the beginning of this century. During the Japanese occupation, all the ancient buildings in Yaotai Mountain were destroyed.
According to the chronicle of bamboo slips, "a palace was built, a Yao platform was decorated, a room was built for Qiongteng, and a Yumen was built". In the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Xiang said to "A New Preface: Proud Luxury": "Being a Yao platform will stop people from making money, and it will ruin the dike for the wine pool, and you will be decadent, and you will drink 3,000 people in one drum." Xia Jie built a huge building in Yaotai Mountain, built a lofty palace, drank and had fun with his sister-in-law and maid-in-waiting, and killed many outspoken Guan Long bodies. In the end, the battle of chorus was overthrown by Shang Tang.
Is Xia Jie a "Yaotai" or a "Yaotai"? It seems impossible to build a Yao platform, but the current Yao platform is a cone with a bottom diameter of about 500 meters and a top platform diameter of about 50 meters, and there are many traces of artificial altars. I think it is most likely that Xia Jie will build a Yaotai and a detached palace on the basis of natural mountains.
It suddenly occurred to me that ancient emperors often liked to build detached palaces. Zhang Huatai of King Chu Ling (Fine Waist Palace), Epang Palace of Qin Shihuang, Ganquan Palace of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty (Jade Girl), Tile Palace of King Wu (Xi Stone), Renshou Palace of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty (maid-in-waiting), Huaqing Palace of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (Yang Yuhuan), Helan Mountain Palace of Li Yuanhao in Xixia (daughter-in-law), Yuanmingyuan (ChristianRandPhillips) in Qianlong and so on. Chugong is a temporary palace outside the emperor's main palace, called Summer Resort, which contains many beautiful women. Leave the palace, put aside the shackles of palace ethics and multiple supervision, and enjoy yourself. Even the Queen Mother of the West has a detached palace-Yaochi, which came to have a tryst with Zhou Muwang.
Climbing the steps into the mountain gate is a nine-story stupa with a height of 43.69 meters. There are wooden stairs in the tower, which can spiral up. The first to ninth floors of the tower are dedicated to the four heavenly kings, namely Maitreya Buddha, Dizang, Pu Xian, Manjusri, Guanyin, Pharmacist Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Sakyamuni.
Behind the tower are Taoist buildings such as Sanqing, Sanguan, Wenchang, Wang Yao and Wugong Temple. Considering that what is bothering us now is the human epidemic, where is the magic of Taoist and Buddhist immortals and bodhisattvas?
There are several old monuments behind Wenchang Pavilion: Jiajing founded Kannonji in the 43rd year, rebuilt the Baiyao King Hall and the Sacrificial Pavilion in the 36th year of Sanqing, and rebuilt the Wugong Hall and the Leishen Cave Hall in the 24th year of Guangxu. You can imagine the scale of the Yaotai Holy Land.
Wugong Temple and Tiansheng Palace used to be in the foothills. Now Wugong Temple is built in Taixu Temple to worship Wu Xian and his son.
"Returning to Tibet": The Yellow Emperor fought against the Yan Emperor, and the salt accounted for "the good fruit has the blame". Wu Xian was a figure in the period of the Yellow Emperor and participated in the Battle of Hanquan.
Guo Pu's Five Immortals Fu Shan: "The Five Immortals regard Hongshu (superb) as the Emperor Yao's doctor, and when they are born, they are officials, and when they die, they are your gods. Is it because he is named after four mountains? " Here, Guo Pu regards Wu Xian as a figure in the period of Yao Emperor.
Shangshu: I heard that Cheng Tang was ordered before. At other times, if Yi Yin, he would be in heaven. In taijia, sometimes there is a balance. In Taiwu, there are times when you are loyal to God. Wu Xianwa (governs and stabilizes) the Wangs. In Zu Ti, there are witches. "Wu Xian here is an etiquette for Shang Taizu, and his son Wu Xian is an etiquette for Zuyi, the grandson of Taizu.
According to legend, Wu Xian and Wu Xian lived in seclusion in Yaotai Mountain and were buried in Yaotai Mountain after their death. There is a tomb of Wu Xian and his son at the foot of the mountain. There is also a tomb of Wuxian in Yushan, Changshu.
When and where did Wu Xian come from? Gu Yanwu made a detailed textual research, and the final conclusion was a sigh: "The name of the ancient sages was wrongly entrusted by later generations."
Wu Xian and Wu Xian's two tombs were listed as cultural relics protection units in Shanxi Province in 1962, and now they are hard to find.
According to Shan Hai Jing Wild West Jing, the wild places are Lingshan, Wuxian, Wuji, Wupan, Gu Wu, Zhen Wu, Wu Li, Wudi, Wu Xie and Wu Luo, and all kinds of medicines are here.
Spirit, the traditional name is "spirit", which is explained in words: Wu Ye. The Lingshan Mountain or Wushan Mountain in Shan Hai Jing is said to be Wuxian Mountain in Xia County and Wushan Mountain in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, all of which are confirmed by the comparison between the surrounding geographical environment and ancient books. I am more inclined to speculate on the spread of witch culture. But in the final analysis, Shan Hai Jing itself contains the meaning that is ignored in the context of ordinary people.
The witch culture in Bachu has a long tradition, but the witch culture in Hedong has produced a great figure-Guo Pu in Jin Dynasty.
Guo Pu was a famous litterateur, exegetist, the originator of Feng Shui and a native of wenxi county in Jin Dynasty. He is good at predicting prophets and many strange magic methods. His book Tibetan Scriptures is a master of geomantic culture in China. As the most famous inheritor of witchcraft culture in Hedong, Guo Pu once climbed Wuxian Mountain, and a gentleman must be rewarded for climbing it. His work is Wu Xianshan Fu (and Preface);
"Although my good, not difficult; Although Dr. Qin is good at removing, he can't perform himself. " Guo Pu predicted that his life would come to an end, but he couldn't hide it. Killed by Wang Dun, the powerful minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Looking from the top of the tower, there are Wuxian Valley, Wuxian River (Baisha River) and Baishahe Reservoir on the right, Hongshahe Reservoir on the left and Xiaxian County on the north.
Out of Taixuguan, down 72 steps, turn left for more than 20 meters and you will become the Thor Cave.
The Thor Cave was originally a natural cave with a small cave, which is unfathomable. It is said that Wu Xian and his son once looked at the earth in the cave and the sky at the top of the mountain to predict the rainy and sunny seasons. Later, because the roof of the cave collapsed, the small stone cave could not be found. For safety, the whole cave was tied with bricks.
It took more than 10 minutes to go down the mountain, and the Xiaxian section of Baisha River at the foot of the mountain has been renovated and turned into a park.
Baisha River is a Wuxian River. When the water in Wuxian county enters the salt pond, the salt will no longer be formed, and the villagers may call it a salt-free river. The source of Baisha River starts at the four corners, flows through Wuxian Valley, flows into qinglong river, flows into the reservoir, joins forces in Yaoxian Canal, and finally enters the Yellow River.
On the way back, when I went up the mountain, I read "Send Si Liu to Xiaxian County" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Qi: "Once out of Fenhe River, the Ming people got off. There is no more sitting in court, which is close to Wuxian Mountain. " My heart is filled with emotion. Now you can see Wuxian Mountain at close range, and you can't afford to be idle in the court!
