Mount Tai, majestic and majestic, is revered as the first of the Five Mountains. It stands between heaven and earth like a patron saint that towers over the sky. It is known as the No. 1 mountain in the world!
Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been a symbol of a sacred place. If the Hualing Valley, the ancestral land of the Dielinghua clan, is the holy land of enlightenment in the Shengwu Continent, then Mount Tai has almost the same status as far as Chinese civilization is concerned.
Mount Tai is located in the easternmost part of the ancient Central Plains, surrounded by the Yellow River and Wen River. In ancient times, it was regarded as the birthplace of all things and the birthplace of Chinese civilization.
The most beautiful place in the center is Daiyue, where grains, mulberry and hemp grow, and where fish and salt come out.
This sentence well explains the significance of Mount Tai's existence.
Compared with Kunlun Mountain, which has a strong fairy flavor and is ethereal and traceless, the myth of Mount Tai is more familiar to people, or in other words, it is closer to people's cognition.
When talking about Mount Tai, we have to mention 'Fengchan', which was a very important emperor sacrificial ceremony in ancient times.
Sima Qian described in "The Book of Feng Chan", "On Mount Tai, earth is built to offer sacrifices to heaven and to repay heaven for its merits, so it is called Feng. On the hill below this mountain, earth is removed to repay the earth's merits, so it is called Zen."
This sentence means that building an earth altar on the top of a mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven and repay God's kindness is a seal;
And building a sacrificial ground under the mountain to offer sacrifices to the earth gods is Zen, which means offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.
The highest honor for an emperor is to be enshrined in Mount Tai. Not just any emperor can go to Mount Tai to be enshrined. The earliest history can be traced back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period.
According to Sima Qian's textual research, twelve ancient emperors successively performed the Taishan consecration ceremony, namely: Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, Yandi, Emperor, Zhuan (xu), Emperor Ku (ku), Yao , Shun, Yu, Tang, and Zhou Chengwang.
These ancient emperors are either the ancestors of China, or they have made ancient and modern contributions to the development of the Chinese nation. If an emperor in later generations comes to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, it means that he is on par with the twelve ancient emperors. This is why The reason why Taishan Fengchan is regarded as the highest honor for an emperor.
In the two thousand years of ancient Chinese imperial history, there were nearly 500 emperors, but the only emperors who actually went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen were Qin Shihuang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Tang Gaozong, Tang Xuanzong, and Song Zhenzong!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the Ming Dynasty for more than 270 years, and even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who initiated the "Zhenguan Reign", did not go to Mount Tai to enshrine the Zen. One can imagine what a sacred act it is to enshrine the Zen in Mount Tai!
After the ancient emperors, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, due to constant wars, the ceremony of conferring Zen on Mount Tai was forced to be suspended. Among the emperors of later generations, the first emperor to go to Mount Tai for consecration was the First Emperor, Ying Zheng!
After Qin Shihuang unified the world, people's hearts were unstable. In order to show his great talent and strategy and prove to the world that unifying the six kingdoms was a mission granted by God, he started the Zen ceremony again.
So many ancient emperors chose to enshrine themselves in Mount Tai, which has cast a mysterious veil over the head of the Five Mountains. No one can truly explain its artistic conception until now, and it is mostly just the endless reveries and speculations of future generations.
When he was a child, Hu Mingxian traveled around with his parents every summer vacation. He had been to the other four mountains, but today was the first time for him to visit Mount Tai.
Now it seems that maybe Taishanzhong is really involved in his life experience, which is why his parents deliberately did not bring him here.
It was late October, and the weather was suitable. Although the National Day had just passed and the peak period of holiday tourism had passed, there was still an endless stream of tourists coming to Mount Tai. It was crowded.
Mount Tai is divided into three steps. From a distance, it really looks like climbing to the sky. Sitting north and facing south, the mountain opens up, and a ten-kilometer-long climbing road leads to the majestic mountain and stretches to the top. .
Looking from a distance, what comes to mind is the majestic and majestic weight between heaven and earth, which makes people feel excited and shocked.
While walking, I could feel firsthand that I was as small as a mote of dust in front of him. Looking up, even the blazing sun shining in the sky seemed so insignificant.
Mount Tai has lush ancient pine trees, numerous springs and waterfalls, and the mist lingering in the mist. It is majestic and majestic without losing its graceful beauty. Perhaps this scene is nature’s reward for those who climb step by step.
On the mountain road, a young couple wearing peaked caps, khaki and couple's sports shorts held hands while climbing up the stairs, while listening to the passing tour guide explaining various myths and stories about Mount Tai.
Last night, Ji Linyue was busy until almost dawn. After Hu Mingxian picked her up from get off work, he drove to Taishan overnight. When he arrived at his destination, it was almost noon.
The two of them had something to eat at the foot of the mountain, and then started their climbing journey along with the flow of people.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two of them have time to go out and play together after confirming their relationship.
The main reason is that Ji Linyue is too busy and it is difficult to spare time. This time I heard that Hu Mingxian was coming to Mount Tai, so she just postponed all her schedule for a day.
Furthermore, Hu Mingxian also came to Mount Tai to see if he could find any clues related to his life experience, so he thought of going out with Lin Yue for a visit.
On the way up the mountain, Ji Linyue didn't have the composure of a company CEO. Like a bird that had broken free from the shackles of worldly affairs, she excitedly pulled Hu Mingxian, sometimes leaning on the big rocks beside the mountain road. She asked Hu Mingxian to take pictures of her, and sometimes pointed at the birds flying by, making a crisp sound of surprise...
Hu Mingxian saw it in his eyes, felt pain in his heart, and was filled with guilt, so during this mountaineering trip, Ji Linyue asked him to seal the spiritual power of the two of them. When hiking like ordinary people, he directly I agreed.
Perhaps this journey for ordinary people can be regarded as a little compensation.
Following the flow of people, the two of them climbed the first step to the place of worship in the afternoon. Hu Mingxian was fine. He was out of breath and his face was not red. Lin Yue's face was rosy, mixed with some fine lines. beads of sweat.
Unlike Hu Mingxian, she still cultivates her physical body, and she sits in the office for a long time. Without spiritual support, she will inevitably be a little tired.
Hu Mingxian took out a tissue from his backpack and wiped it for her. Ji Linyue held her little hands behind her back, with a happy smile and her little head held high, enjoying the tenderness of this moment.
"Husband! Look how happy this young couple is..."
At this time, a young couple in their 30s passed by. Seeing this scene, the woman's eyes were full of envy, and she pulled her husband's arm and played coquettishly...
The man looked at Hu Mingxian with a strange look on his face, and after a while he suppressed his words: "Let's go, don't pity him!"
"Uh...hahaha..."
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha……"
"..."
The woman was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing. She couldn't help but laugh, punched her husband in the face, and was dragged away by the man. This scene also amused the surrounding tourists, who couldn't help but laugh. Laughed...
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
Ji Linyue was also a little embarrassed by everyone's laughter. Yi Yan, who was already rosy, turned red again, and pulled Hu Mingxian quickly towards the mountain.
At the Dai Temple, the imperial palace on the second step of Mount Tai, the two of them walked around in a circle and took hundreds of photos. Ji Linyue pulled Hu Mingxian and climbed to the top of Mount Tai in the evening - Jade Emperor Peak. .
At this time, the sun sets in the west and hangs on the horizon. The top of the sea of clouds and the mountains and peaks are all inlaid with a layer of golden brilliance. It is like a fairyland. It is so beautiful that it makes people marvel. Unknowingly, the mind is intoxicated.
Looking from a distance, the rolling Yellow River looks like a giant dragon resting on the earth. It extends from one end of the sky to the other end of the sky. Under the light of the setting sun, it sparkles and shines with extremely dazzling colors.
Perhaps only in China can you have the opportunity to see such magnificent scenery.
"If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return."
"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of all the small mountains."
At this moment, I have a deep understanding of the eternal masterpieces of the poet Li Bai and the poet Du Fu.
Going further, Confucius also once said, "Climb Mount Tai and the world will be small." The true meaning of this is etched in my heart!
After finding a place with less traffic, the two of them sat quietly on a big rock. Ji Linyue nestled in Hu Mingxian's arms, admiring the unique scenery in the world.
It was already dark as soon as the two of them sat down. Most of the tourists on the mountain took the cable car down the mountain. Less than a dozen tourists were waiting in line for the cable car. During this period, many people came up to ask about the couple. The young couple didn't move much after they meditated, for fear that there would be something they couldn't think of...
This made Hu Mingxian and Ji Linyue embarrassed for a while.
Until all the tourists on the mountain were gone, Hu Mingxian and Ji Linyue had no intention of going down the mountain. They were determined to wait until dawn to see the sunrise.
It seemed that God was also interested. The night sky was like a curtain covering the sky. Countless stars were dotted with the brilliance of rare treasures, forming a Milky Way star path of unknown length and width.
At the end of it, a bright moon hangs above it, seemingly scattering pieces of silvery luster, reflecting the outline of thousands of mountains.
Accompanied by the sound of gurgling springs, rumbling waterfalls, and the chirping of insects and birds at night, a mysterious and miraculous picture appeared between heaven and earth from the top of Mount Tai.
"gorgeous!"
Perhaps there was no daylight, and visually, it seemed as if she could reach out and touch the mesmerizing starry sky. Ji Linyue couldn't help but stand up, stretched out her hands, and looked at the starry sky close in front of her.
At that moment, the sky's silver light also shone on Ji Linyue's body, as if she was covered with a layer of silver wedding dress. Hu Mingxian was a little crazy looking at it...
"May I be like a star, like the moon, and may my light shine brightly every night."
"I only hope that your heart will be like mine, and I will live up to my love for you."
In this situation, it is not the same poem, but a deep affection is intertwined between the two people who are facing each other. Maybe they are moved by the scenery given by God, maybe they are grateful to God for allowing her to meet his destiny. The two lines are clear Tears couldn't help but streak across Ji Linyue's beautiful face.
At this moment, Hu Mingxian hugged Ji Linyue tightly and kissed her passionately.
He didn't know what the future would bring, but at this moment, he was only willing to use his chest to give her the safest haven.
You and I promise to be in love in the next life, no matter how the flowers bloom and fade, no matter how old we age...
