Crow ridge

Crow ridge

There is a "crow ridge" on the mountainside of Wudang Mountain, which is almost the only place for mountain visitors to pass. Next to Nanyan palace, you can climb up to Jinding. If you stay in the mountains, it's also convenient to choose here. When booking a place to stay, I'm not sure about the name of crow ridge, which has always been a bad name for the folk. But in addition to the description of crows flying together in the early years, crows are also divine birds, because of the legend of Xuanwu cultivation and crows singing. The great Xuanwu emperor is the sacred "master" of Wudang Mountain. The so-called "non Xuanwu is not enough to be it", and the name of Wudang comes from it.

brief introduction

In the Qing Dynasty, crows were also regarded as divine birds, which was related to national customs and myths.

Legend of literature and history

Cao Cao's "short song line" said that the moon is bright and the stars are rare, and the black magpie flies south. Three turns around the tree, what branches to follow. Or hesitation and sadness. Most people don't like this bird. I think it's because of its black coat and fierce cry, which makes people feel uncomfortable. What's more, the imperial censor platform in Chang'an of the Han Dynasty was full of pines and cypresses, which attracted many crows to stay. For a long time, the imperial censor platform was called "Wutai". The scene was plain, and there was no likes or dislikes at the beginning. It was the "Wutai poetry case" that Su Dongpo encountered in the Northern Song Dynasty. Zhou man's fall was dangerous, which was a major event of that era. Dongpo suffered a lot in half of his life. Therefore, the case made people feel that the crow was really unlucky. At one time, the gods showed their spirits, and at another time, they were gloomy and gloomy. Birds didn't know what to do. They only depended on people's attachment.

But half a crow was not seen on the mountain. According to the data, the spectacle of "crow feeding" has not been seen for a long time. The ecology is recovering in recent years, and crows are slowly turning back. In fact, ordinary people feel at ease when they don't see it. I'm afraid that there are still many tourists like me.

According to the book of Wudang Mountain annals, "on a clear day, you can see it later." when you climb the top of Tianzhu peak, you have to choose the right time. "If you are not willing to go up the mountain, the fog will lock the clouds, and you can't distinguish between the high and the low." that's a divine sign. If you enter the "realm of jade void and colorless", you can't force it. This time when the Dragon Boat Festival arrived at Wudang Mountain, the rain just stopped and the wind stopped. It was just "the wind and rain washed away the foul air". It was completely clear and transparent. Along the way, there were many water curtains formed by the accumulated rain on the cliff and stone wall, such as the Ding Dong of pearls and jade, the green plants and trees, and the appearance was strong and strong, which made people happy. I don't think much about Crow. Only when I came back did I know that I did not know anything about the world in the mountains. However, in those days, there were heavy rains and floods in Chu. It was a strange thing that I did not even notice the two-day journey. It is one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism.

Taoism, a local religion, is also complicated. Its branches are out of the way, and its famous schools can not be understood by ordinary people for a moment. When you think about it, you will feel some "strange" spirit from time to time, as if you have the meaning of being unorthodox. Under what circumstances do people especially desire to become immortals, die and ascend? Most of the time when the way is not good and the world is strange and chaotic. I bathe in the mountains and watch the clouds rise. When I do, I just think that if people want to become immortals, they have to seek other realms to get rid of them. It's just a projection of consciousness that they want to enter the embrace of nature and integrate with heaven and earth. Four seasons, all things, heaven and heaven.
