Just to meet the sea of clouds-hiking travel notes of Nanwutai.

How long has it been raining? I have been ill for about how long. Although it's not a serious illness, I have a headache like a needle, and I feel speechless and can't eat Chili. Although my friends said it was dangerous to climb the mountain after just raining, and even though it was raining continuously the day before departure, I decided to go out for a walk and want to breathe the long-lost smell of earth!

Before I left, my sister prepared ingredients for me to climb the mountain and cook hot pot, and my friend bought me two breakfasts, which made me feel happy instantly!

How to see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain, and how to see the sea of clouds without going to Nanwutai? In this way, we packed our bags and set off.

As soon as you get off the bus, you can hear the gurgling sound of running water, surrounded by green hills and birds singing in the mountains. We climbed the mountain happily, because there was a lot of rain recently, and a swift current blocked our way up the mountain.

I'm afraid my shoes are wet ...

I'm afraid of falling into the water ...

I'm afraid my legs are too short to pass.

I'm sorry ...

Don't be afraid.

Someone moved stones to pave the way for you.

Someone bridged the bridge for you as a fulcrum.

Someone will help you.

Someone got their shoes wet in time, so they escorted everyone through.

This is our lovely leader, Li Fang and the lion.

At first, I was panting and had a feeling of backing out. The swallow said, it's a shame to follow me. Haha, I can't help it. You and I are already in the same boat. I thought I must go to the front and follow the lion in front (following the lion can not only increase my knowledge but also take good-looking photos. )

Accompanied by the trickle all the way, the road up the mountain is always so annoying sometimes, because there are muddy paths, and when you walk through the paths, you sometimes encounter blue tiles. It looks particularly bright after the rain. Sitting quietly on it, looking at the mountains and trees in the distance, everything is narcissistic in this empty mountain.

A puppy suddenly ran out of the quiet path. It cooperated with me very much, posed and gave me a charming smile for me to understand.

I have never seen a big waterfall, and neither has a small waterfall.

I heard that there were hermits in this mountain all the way, and my curiosity started. I opened my 100 thousand questions. In this huge city, in this era without internet, why do hermits live in this mountain? They don't care about the world, but live a life of chanting in the morning, taking a nap at noon and plowing at night (my imaginary life)?

I think this is probably why they chose to live in seclusion here.

From Du Niang:

Nanwutai, 23km away from the ancient capital Xi, is the core scenic spot of Zhong Nanshan World Geopark in Qinling Mountains. Named after the five peaks blooming like lotus flowers, all the peaks are named after the Buddha. In the Song Dynasty's Travel Notes to the South of the City, it was said: "Those who traveled to Wutai in the south are called Guanyin, Ling Ying, Manjusri, Pu Xian and Yi Rong, all of which are the peaks of Li Zhuo, hence the name Wutai". "Pu Xian" is now called a balcony, and "appearance" is now called a sacrificial platform, and the main peak Guanyin platform is also called a big platform and a big top. For thousands of years, Nanwutai is famous for its Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo, Sui and Tang royal monasteries, and the sacred place for hermits in Central and South China, and enjoys a high position in the history of Buddhism in China.

Hidden holy land

According to Guanzhong Tongzhi, "South Wutai in Chang 'an is the most beautiful area today". The famous Buddhist mountains and beautiful areas make Nanwutai a holy place for spiritual practice. Bill Porter, an American, estimated in an interview 30 years ago that there were about 5,000 hermits in Zhong Nanshan who were far away from modern civilization and devoted themselves to self-cultivation, and poetically called them "empty valleys and secluded orchids". So, how many hermits are there in Nanwutai? According to the "Chang 'an Ancient Temple" published in 2009, there are more than 300 mountain practitioners in Chang 'an District alone. According to industry sources, the providers are less than half of the actual practitioners, and there are more than one person in Fiona Fang 10 in South Wutai, Chang 'an.

The author walked 10 kilometers for three times, crossing from Xicha in the middle of Cuihua Mountain and South Wutai Mountain to Zizhulin at the waist of South Wutai Mountain, passing through the lion hut to the Wang family courtyard, and then to the small hut and the big hut. There are more than 10 courtyards where hermits live, and the largest courtyard has 7 or 8 hermits. Climb the Guanyin Terrace and look back at the back hill. From Shibianyu Reservoir, the water source of Xi 'an, to the back mountain path of Nanwutai, there are still 4 or 5 hermit huts scattered among them. These hermits believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and they either achieve some transcendental goals through seclusion or self-experience before becoming monks. There are still some people who have no faith and don't like the original way of life, so they choose a leisurely, comfortable, independent, simple and quiet seclusion life.

The recluse culture of Nanwutai in Zhong Nanshan has a long history. Starting from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Ai Jing led his disciples to live in seclusion in Nanxi Valley (commonly known as Xiaoyu, next to Nanwutai) and built 72 Mao Peng. For thousands of years, the wind of seclusion and monasticism has never stopped, forming a unique humanistic environment. There are many sages and great virtues, and we can learn from each other. The villagers are simple and respectful. According to a mage who has been to Dojo all over the country, the phenomenon that Mao Peng can build at will all over the country without interference is probably the only one left. In Nanwutai, it has gradually become a climate for urban residents to rent and repair adobe houses abandoned by mountain people and realize short-term seclusion.

I also took a photo with the immortal spirit of the hermit.

I heard that lions usually only take pictures of beautiful women (snickering)

Gangzi said that the lion took a picture of me and lost the face value of 8090 (joking), but I still want to take it ... haha.

Going up and down the mountain with all kinds of questions from the hermit, but I really want to talk to the hermit and wonder if they will order us to go out, just because I have disturbed their quiet and refined life (just thinking ...)

The mountain has its own golden house, and the mountain has its own method of survival.

Wild fruit tastes good.

The hot pot is boiling.

The song lit up.

Every time there must be corruption, corruption in the city is easy to be caught, and corruption in the mountains should not (smile).

Climbing poles can also play games.

If you want to ask me if I have seen the sea of clouds.

If you want to ask me if I really saw the sea of clouds.

Really, really didn't (cry)

Zhou Zhou was lucky enough to say that you can really see.

I only represent 8090.

Guess who took it?

Sunless beach sunglasses

Only the trekking poles of Sunshine Mountain Road.

In the sunshine, we went down the mountain.

The way down the mountain is always difficult for me. My knees are always disappointing. I can't walk. Li Fang gave me a kneepad, and Gangzi gave me a kneepad and a trekking stick. (Thank you, thank you, the leader of 8090 is really loving) So I limped down.

On the way, I also asked my colleagues if this would be the end of my life-Nanwutai.

I always feel a little sad. I was told that he understood the pain. In fact, I want to say that all understanding can't be empathy!

It's nice to have sunshine on the way down the mountain. ...

The swallow said, this is the Buddha's light.

Clouds cover the mountains, and the mountains are illusory.

In the fog, the lucky people in this group of cities smiled selflessly and shouted wantonly.

In the fog, it is fate that you and I meet, without asking the name or the origin, only looking at ourselves.

Sleepy-eyed, your car has entered this bustling city. Maybe you have been thinking about tomorrow's work task, or you have been thinking about how to meet next time.
