Shutongshan

Shutongshan

The mountain is cylindrical. From a distance, it looks like a girl with beautiful hair. A close look at the stone wall, such as cutting, Doushan has a separate independent stone column, like a Book boy in broad clothes, reading poetry. When you look closely, the bookboy closes his eyes and meditates, with a self-confident manner. Therefore, the mountain gets its name. Shutong Shandong is Zhuo Bifeng, which is called "Zhuo Bifeng". In the south of the mountain is Jigong Mountain, which is similar to the cock crowing at dawn. Shutong mountain, together with Zhuo Bifeng, Jigong Mountain, Lingren mountain and the peaks behind the mountain, is reflected in the river, forming a crystal world of "reflection mountain and floating water".

Introduction to shutongshan

The origin of the name

In the southeast of Yangshuo County, at the intersection of tianjiahe River and Lijiang River, about 2km away from the county. On the right side of the Lijiang River, the mountain is tall and handsome, and it is the most delicate and beautiful peak along the Lijiang River. There is a crack in the waist of the north mountain, and a stone is cracked out, about 10 meters high. It is like an arched ancient boy, named shutongshi. The mountain is named after the stone.

Equipment and facilities

Shutong mountain is 2 kilometers southeast of the county seat. At the confluence of Lijiang River and tianjiahe River, there is a beautiful and straight solitary peak. The mountain is no more than 100 meters high, but the stone walls are cut and the top is covered with trees. This is the famous Shutong mountain. Because there is a huge stone standing on the hillside, which is separated from the main body. From a distance, it looks very like the ancient wide sleeved schoolboy reading books. We can also see that the nearby mountains have their own postures. They are named after "thumbs up", "rooster crows" and "the old man leads his horse up the mountain". Shutong mountain has been as famous as Bilian peak since ancient times. It is a must visit place in Yangshuo.

shape

Shutongshan is no more than 100 meters high. From a distance, it looks like a young girl standing on the Bank of the river. From a close view, a huge stone is separated from the main body on the hillside. It's like a boy in ancient costume who is reading books, so it's named shutongshan. Shutong mountain is also known as mast mountain, because the mountain is cylindrical, like a ship mast.

Shutong mountain stands like a pillar and its stone walls are cut. In the early morning, under the clear sunlight, the green trees on the top of the mountain set off, and the golden sunlight weaves through it, with a transparent golden glow in the green. On the left side of the hillside, there is a long rock rising from the mountain. It is about Zhang high. In the morning light and breeze, it looks like a bookboy who is wearing wide clothes and brushing sleeves. He is reading books in the morning. This reminds me of the word "Dai" on Wang Yuanren's carving and Bilian peak. The inside information of "one area of mountains and rivers, youth's efforts" hidden in it is vividly reflected here.

legend

There is also an old legend about shutongshan. A long time ago, a dragon often haunted the Lijiang River, harming people. A schoolboy got a heavenly book from his teacher Wenquxing, which was instinctive to subdue demons and demons. He took the heavenly book to subdue Jiaolong. Jiaolong collapsed in the water as soon as he saw the heavenly book. Fearing that the dragon was pretending to be dead, the boy turned the book into a mountain and stood by the Lijiang River forever, guarding the local people.

History and culture

It is said that in ancient times, there was a bookboy who accompanied the rich young master to study at the foot of Bilian peak. That dandy just indulged in playing and left everything learned to the bookboy. A few years later, the smart bookboy made great progress in his studies, but the rich young master still had nothing to do. In the year of Dabi, the rich young master and the bookboy went to Beijing to take the exam together. As a result, the rich young master lost his place and the bookboy was on the list. But the bookboy, who did not study for an official, resolutely abandoned his easy-to-use glory and wealth and returned to his hometown. He continued to work hard here year after year and day after day. This hard work means that thousands of years is thousands of years. In this thousands of years, the bookboy did not hesitate to put his figure fossil in the landscape of Yangshuo, read all the great articles about human affairs, and was also proud of the faint The official circles of the dark world are just like the poem praise of later generations: "Artemisia annua can break the Lijiang River, and rowing can break the mountains. There are so many beautiful people in the country who are intoxicated, while the most beautiful scholar is the only one who is shining. "

Other introductions

It is inconceivable that, like the deliberate nature, maybe the landscape of Yangshuo is so magical. There are some magical scenes related to reading around this book. On the right side of Shutong mountain, there is a high mountain, which is shaped like a writing brush. It's called "Zhuo Bi Wen Feng". People say that it's a magic brush that Li Bai discarded from the mortal world. I'd like to think that it's the Zhuo Bi that the Shutong once wielded. Tens of millions of years have passed, and the bookboy is not old, and the pen is still divine. At the intersection of Lijiang River and tianjiahe River, with the talent of the bookboy, the landscape of Yangshuo is so beautiful. Jigong Mountain in the south of Shutong mountain looks like the cock that heralds the dawn. In the soft morning light, the Shutong's verve of hearing and reading the cock's crow is like a lifetime of tourists.

Under the blue lotus peak and on the Bank of the Lijiang River, the soft morning light, the diligent schoolboy, the rooster who heralds the dawn, and the brilliant pen of the gods are all reflected in the river. In the ripple light, everything on the bank is alive. The beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers and the young people's self effacing attitude make people daydream.

Somehow, when I came to Yangshuo and stood at the foot of this book, I remembered the famous poet Cao ye in the late Tang Dynasty. It's because Cao Ye is from Yangshuo, and it's also because it's the originality of this book. I remember when I was a child, I read his poem "official hamster" in the primary school textbook, which pierced the darkness of the society at the end of the Tang Dynasty: "official hamsters are as big as a fight, and they don't go when they see people open their positions. If the athletes have no food and the people are hungry, who will send them to the court like the king's mouth. " By using the mouse in the official storehouse to satirize and curse the greedy feudal officials, a generation of upright feudal literati dare to speak out the current malpractice, which also makes him famous in history.

Ancient Cao Ye was a Jinshi in the middle age of the Tang Dynasty. He was a doctor of the ancestral temple and a governor of Yangzhou (now Yangxian County, Shaanxi Province). At the foot of e mountain in the north of Yangshuo City, there is a study rock, where Cao Ye often studied before he became an official and retired. Farewell to the book boy mountain on the edge of Li River, I came to the reading rock.

The reading rock is 6 meters high, 4 meters wide and 10 meters deep. The morning light sprinkles on the quiet environment. The deep cave surrounded by lush green is really a wonderful place to concentrate on reading. The "CaoYe study rock" engraved at the mouth of the rock is so solemn and profound in the quiet atmosphere of the morning sun. Maybe it's a long time ago, or the vicissitudes of history. When you enter the cave, it's hard to find the shadow of the poet who devoted himself to reading. Today's visitors have no choice but to recall what happened here on the stone carvings in the rock.

Because it's early in the morning, there are no other visitors here except us, and the cave is very quiet. I don't know much about Cao Ye's life. I just know that he was a very hardworking young man in his early years. He also stepped into an official career in that year and later. But then he resigned and retired. After retiring, he came here to study. I think he came here two times to study in a different mood. Cao ye, who was a young man studying here, sought fame and fame. Later, he was full of ambition to enter the official career. However, he found that he was so out of tune with the society of that dynasty. Like the upright feudal literati of all ages, he retired, went back to his hometown where he had worked hard to study, and retired himself in the sea of books. I think, after retiring, Cao Ye's reading is a kind of cultivation of life. He may have realized something from his experience of entering and leaving the world. It is said that Cao Ye's former residence was at the foot of Longtou mountain in Yangshuo. Cao Gong Academy was built in song and Yuan Dynasties. I don't know what else Cao ye did for his hometown when he came to Yangshuo. Now, from shutongshan to shushushuyan, one is a scholar with foresight in legend, and the other is a scholar who entered and came out of the world in history. Maybe the legendary scholar is more intelligent, but I can't evaluate Cao Ye's entering and coming out of the world Step, calmly walk through the book of children's mountain, also calmly into the reading rock, in today's picturesque and vivid Yangshuo landscape to feel the legend of the book of children's mountain and the vicissitudes of the reading rock.
