There are so many famous mountains and rivers, why do hermits choose Zhong Nanshan?

"Nanshan plants beans, and the grass is covered with bean sprouts. In the morning, I am arrogant and want to take Yuelian home. " This is a poem written by Tao Yuanming after he returned to agriculture. Such a quiet life has become the choice of many literati who want to retire.

Among them, some people are tired of the complicated earthly life, and some people have spent most of their lives in official career, but they are still not satisfied, so they have plans to live in seclusion. To say that hermits chose to live in seclusion at that time, Zhong Nanshan was the number one "network celebrity punching card". From Jiang Ziya to Wang Zhongyang, there are countless hermits who choose to live in seclusion here, with more than 5,000 people.

Zhongnanshan in a broad sense refers to the Qinling Mountains. Describe it in detail, from Shaanxi martial arts in the west to Lantian in the middle of Qinling Mountains in the east. Since ancient times, this mountain has been the natural barrier of the ancient city Xi 'an. So, what's so special about Zhong Nanshan? Why does it attract so many hermits?

Rich cultural background, suitable for seclusion.

Buddhism in China is divided into eight sects, of which the central temple or ancestral hall of five sects is located in Zhong Nanshan. Especially for Sanlun Sect, Huayan Sect and Legalist Sect, Zhong Nanshan is their birthplace, so the cultural background is quite profound.

Besides, what makes Zhong Nanshan famous is that it is the birthplace of Taoism in China. Some hermits choose to live in seclusion in pursuit of a saint-like style. According to legend, Wang Zhongyang, the founder of Quanzhen religion, learned Taoism in Zhong Nanshan. So it is not difficult to understand that people who choose to live in seclusion will regard this place as the primary training place.

In Louguantai, Zhong Nanshan, there is still a lecture platform where the ancestors of Taoism tell their disciples about the scriptures.

Since the Sui Dynasty, the secluded atmosphere of this land lasted for a long time and reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. For thousands of years, it has formed a humanistic fashion. Although it is not everywhere, it does have such an atmosphere. Walking in the mountains, I met a monk with plain clothes shoes and a cold face from time to time, as if even my own realm had been improved.

Besides, unlike other mountain ranges, the main peak of Zhong Nanshan is Taiyi Mountain, which is rich in medicinal materials. When recluses practice, they often need to take alchemy medicine. Under the unique geographical conditions of the north-south boundary mountain, the local climate is very rich, and it is really convenient for people living in seclusion to collect a lot of medicinal materials.

The curve saves the country, and "seclusion" is born.

As far as the demands of seclusion are concerned, hermits are a special group. On the one hand, most of them have high knowledge and different ideological level from ordinary people, but they are unwilling to use their knowledge in the world. On the other hand, they are all celebrities. They don't seem to like their reputation and feel that they are a burden. They want to wipe them out before hiding themselves in the mountains.

Fundamentally speaking, monks and Taoists are different from hermits. The first two are to abandon all worldly distractions, including material and fame. They preach that everything is empty and give up secular life. Hermit, in a sense, is trying to embrace secular life.

Therefore, some people in ancient times chose the so-called "seclusion", not to break with the world, but to let themselves play a greater role.

Most of the ancients in our country had this idea. Some intellectuals choose to live in seclusion, which shows that they have a high level, do not love the secular, do not seek fame and fortune, and have superior moral character. There are countless examples in history, from Sean to Zhuge Liang and from Zhuge Liang to Liu Bowen. They have all been hermits, thus "saving the country by curve", gaining greater fame and attracting the attention of rulers.

Zhong Nanshan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, quite close to Chang 'an. At that time, Chang 'an was a highly political and cultural center with many powerful people. "Hermit" chooses this place, which makes it easier to get in touch with dignitaries and has a greater chance of gaining appreciation and high officials. In the final analysis, it is still for the pursuit of birth, fame and fortune.

People are impetuous, and seclusion has no "inner flavor"

"Picking chrysanthemums under the hedge, leisurely see Nanshan. The mountains are getting better every day, and the birds are back. " This kind of leisurely bearing of seclusion in the countryside is becoming more and more difficult to find now.

To say that hermits in the past pursued peace or curve to save the country, at least they all did it with a purpose. Now, with the increasing popularity of The Hermit in Zhong Nanshan, there are all kinds of news on the Internet, such as "the multimillionaire gave up all his possessions and went to Zhong Nanshan to live in seclusion alone, just to pursue inner peace" and "the post-90 s young people gave up their jobs and went to Zhong Nanshan to live in seclusion".

This makes the local tranquility no longer, but the word of mouth has turned sharply. What is even more frightening is that everyone dares to call themselves "hermits". In fact, it is nothing more than staying in the local area for 7 or 8 days, punching in, taking photos, sending a circle of friends with "peace of mind, don't forget your active attitude", patting your ass and leaving.

After all, these people just live the same life in another place. The reason why Peach Blossom Garden is a Peach Blossom Garden is not only the local scenery, but more importantly, Tao Yuanming's heart, completely abandoning the struggle for power in officialdom. Wherever he is, he is in the Peach Blossom Garden.

Thousands of years later, the holy land of Zhong Nanshan, in the impetuous and noisy society, was inevitably contaminated with dust and turned into noisy fireworks. For us, everything may be the same, but for those who sincerely pursue "seclusion", what we destroy is their last piece of pure land.
