Crossing Zhaogong Mountain

after work on the afternoon of April 19th, 213, we gathered at the north gate of Deyang Stadium and took a van to stay in a villa facing the street in Tai 'an Ancient Town, the back mountain of Qingcheng, and prepared to cross Zhaogong Mountain the next day.

At 8: 2 on April 2th, people who were still sleeping were awakened by a violent vibration. It turned out that a strong earthquake of magnitude 7. occurred in Lushan County, which is only a hundred kilometers away from this straight line.

After the Wenchuan earthquake on May 12, 28, many donkey friends who had experienced too many large and small earthquakes walked slowly down the wooden building to the front of the shop, waiting for breakfast and discussing whether to continue crossing Zhaogong Mountain. As a result, most people were worried that there would be aftershocks or the earthquake had caused landslides and other unfavorable factors and suggested canceling the event.

Since the activity of crossing Zhaogong Mountain was stillborn, several people from anxious to return chartered a minivan to go home directly, while other donkey friends still stayed at the back of Qingcheng Mountain, waiting for Deyang's chartered car to pick them up.

the challenge in spring has not been fulfilled, and the expectation in autumn is particularly prosperous.

On the afternoon of September 13th, after work, we gathered at the same time and place, and took a bus to the same accommodation place in Tai 'an Ancient Town, Houshan, Qingcheng. It's just that the arrival time has been advanced this time, because we are riding an Iveco van with "high-end atmosphere and high grade".

In the ancient town of Tai 'an after nightfall, the wind is drizzling and drizzling, and everyone is worried about the weather tomorrow.

the next day, it was sunny and crisp in autumn. At 9 o'clock in the morning, two liuzhou wuling vans carried 15 of us to the starting point of crossing Zhaogong Mountain.

before crossing, all the donkey friends take a group photo as a souvenir.

Just now, one of the drivers with heavy eyebrows parked the van, packed a simple bag on his back, took a sharp mountain knife and set off with us. He is the guide we hired for this crossing activity.

After we walked a short section of cement road, the guide led us into the path of "the road is narrow and the vegetation is long, and my clothes are exposed in the evening".

Zhaogong Mountain belongs to the humid evergreen forest area in the middle subtropical zone. There are many kinds of plants, such as Wanshou Bamboo, Qianzhangshu, Jin Sinan, Populus euphratica, Sambucus williamsii, Acer truncatum, Mirabilis jalapa, cold spray, Adiantum, etc. Trees and shrubs are competing to cover the sun, and wild flowers and weeds are everywhere, leaving no room. If the distance between front and back is slightly widened, you will lose sight of the colorful rain cover swaying from side to side.

"Weeping and dew are like a thousand grasses, and singing is as loose as the wind. At this time, where is the maze? "

teammates who walk behind need to rely on the guide to cut off the marks of plant branches, footprints and marks left on the ground, shout and shout and carry walkie-talkies to track the creeps.

Climbing the hill and jumping over the ridge, we came to a cliff, and everyone went down into the deep ditch like a gecko.

There is a clear and rippling stream in the ravine. Judging from its flow direction, it should be a stream that flows to Tongling gully and then into Weijiang River.

as the old saying goes, you often walk by the stream, how can you not wet your shoes? Forget it, I accidentally fell into the stream, and the cold stream soaked most of my body.

after crossing the stream, we started to follow the stream from time to time on the left bank to time on the right bank and from time to time in the stream.

On the way, I twice declined the kindness of a kind-hearted guide who wanted to help me carry my bags, and gave the opportunity to a female donkey friend who needed help more.

If we can call this road a road, I'm afraid no one wants to "visit here" except the construction and maintenance of waterworks, artificial cultivation of medicinal materials and picking wild yam, scientific research teams, explorers and hunters. During the whole day, we only met a herbalist in a large magnolia forest near the foot of the mountain.

The mountains are awesome, and the beautiful original scenery is mostly in the depths of the inaccessible mountains.

On the way forward, sometimes only one person can pass between trees and rocks, sometimes one side of rocks and one side of cliffs, and sometimes a seemingly decaying wooden stick bridge erected between cliffs ... climbing up or sliding down. At this moment, all the stones, vines, branches, bamboo poles and other objects on the ground have become the most important grasping hands, even if only four or two forces are used, people are more practical than one thousand pounds.

In the most special places, the trunk that has been dead and lying on the road has blocked the way. Brother Chuan, who closely follows the guide, will send a humorous message through the walkie-talkie: "There is a single (double) bar movement in front of ×× meters, please climb according to the National Physical Education Examination Outline!" In front of you, you can crawl like a turtle, but you can't walk upright like a human. Where the trunk of a lying tree is not short, we either crawl through it or lie on our side. In a word, when we walked along Mao Mao Road, we almost exhausted all kinds of postures that people could imagine, and all of them became "dirty clay figurines", and everyone had thorns and scratches on their arms.

at half past two in the afternoon, we came to a place called "Yanwo". We "barbecue" our shoes and socks around the fire while eating here.

The mountains are steeper and the streams are softer and softer. In two places where the cliff is in the way, we have to use protective ropes and climb up one by one according to the way of "packing first, donkey friends first, ladies first, men later".

The twilight in the deep forest is darker than that outside the mountain because of the tall trees. Most people's physical energy consumption seems to have reached the limit after walking all day. In addition, the guide is a little confused about the direction of progress. For the sake of safety, the @ leader who finished the task told the front team to choose a small piece of land with relatively flat terrain and no danger of mudslides as a camping site by walkie-talkie.

Under normal circumstances, camping bonfire parties are essential. Everyone can sit around eating meat, drinking, singing, dancing, telling jokes, guessing riddles and playing games, which can not only relax tired muscles and nervous mood, but also bake soaked clothes and equipment. Only this time, there was no bonfire party because it was difficult to find dry wood and the venue could not be opened.

at 7 o'clock in the morning on the 15th, everyone got up one after another.

After crawling in a valley full of bushes for about 5 minutes, I arrived at a flat land, where I saw some Chengdu donkey friends who had camped here from the former mountain packing their tents and equipment. According to them, an emergency helicopter was parked here on May 12th.

We looked up again, and the Zhaogong Temple, looming in the drizzle and mist, was 1 meters from the top of the mountain.

There are many names for Zhaogong Mountain. The earliest Classic of Mountains and Seas is called Dushan Mountain, while Huayangzhi calls it Chengdu Mountain, Tianguo Mountain, and later it is called Yayue Mountain and Damian Mountain. It has been called Zhaogong Mountain since Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, came into being. It is located in Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Sichuan Province. It is the eastern branch of the southern section of Qionglai Mountain and the blessed land of Qingcheng Mountain. The highest elevation is 2434 meters, which is the highest peak of Qingcheng Mountain.

according to the data measured by Casio electronic watch, the altitude of Zhaogong Temple is 2275 meters.

Zhaogong Temple on Zhaogong Mountain, founded in Han Dynasty, is said to be the ancestral home of Zhao Gongming, the first god of wealth in China.

At present, there is only one abbot of Zhaogong Temple, who is called Wang Daochang. Wang Daochang, who has seen through the world of mortals at a young age, has been obedient and faithful to his legacy since he fled Huang Guan and converted to the Dojo. In addition to doing a good job in educational administration faithfully, he should also do a good job in reception warmly and thoughtfully, such as providing boiled water for everyone free of charge and taking photos with tourists.

When you walk into Zhaogong Temple, which is dilapidated and full of incense, the first thing you see is the message posted on the wall.

From talking with Wang Daochang, who is quiet, lustless and natural, we know that there are no more than 5 donkey friends crossing this little-known route yesterday.

We accounted for 1.5% this time. Give yourself a compliment. At this moment, our mood is as full of unprecedented pride as the team flag posted on the wall "donkey yo net" imitates the slogan "I have been here, I have seen it, I have conquered" of Julius Caesar in ancient Rome.

judging from the costumes of people coming and going in the temple, today, most of the donkey friends come here for sightseeing, but few pilgrims visit the Taoist temple to seek immortality.

Although I am a person with no religious belief, I still hold an approval attitude towards Taoism, the only local religion in China. However, I believe that "a wise man doesn't read fortune, and a gentleman doesn't ask for divination" is different from the idea and practice of "burning incense and looking at a monk, doing one thing and two things". Since I finally walked across the roots to the authentic God of Wealth, I volunteered to donate it for profit and thanks to the warm reception of the Taoist priest, without the Taoist priest knocking out all the money and mumbling, and I didn't burn incense and make a wish.

Before coming down the mountain, Taoist Wang, who was always beaming and open-minded, shed his cloth robe, took a group photo with our last teammates in front of the stone tablet of "Taoism is natural" and stopped to watch us go down the mountain.

Taoism is natural, which comes from the philosophical thought of Tao Te Ching, meaning that the law reflected by "Tao" is "natural". For individual people, taking the way of nature, cultivating the body of nature, being healthy and healthy is a blessing, and being plain is the truth. This is the secret of physical and mental health that people pursue tirelessly.

The path down the mountain is the right way to the Zhaogong Mountain, so there are more tourists coming and going. This road was built with donations from many caring people, and the whole road was paved with sticks or stones.

Not only have many simple pavilions been built along the way for people to rest, but also some warm reminder slogans such as "Environmental protection is very important, it depends on everyone", "Dear, please bring your own trekking poles for your ass" and "The mountain road is rugged, pay attention to safety" are posted on some big trees.

You can't fall if you walk slowly. You can't make mistakes if you are careful. I am particularly afraid of wrestling in every mountaineering activity, so I have always been in the "slow three step" state of walking slowly up the mountain and walking slower down the mountain.

on the way, everyone went into the ancestral temple to have a rest.

at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we got on the return chartered bus in Yutang town, and everyone happily held up their bare arms to show the scratch like a cat scratching.
