Travel Prose: Listening to Mount Tai

Only by listening quietly and tasting carefully can you taste the taste.

Over the years, one hobby has never changed. Whenever I have time, I like to walk into Mount Tai and gently pick up the feelings of a grass, a tree, a mountain and a water.

I always seem to be looking for something, but I can't say what I'm looking for. Maybe it's just a feeling, a feeling, which silently affects my thoughts, mentality and vision.

Mount Tai is a great book. This Taishan Mountain, which has been growing with me for more than 10 years, has a vicissitudes of 2.5 billion years. However, in the vicissitudes of history, he is still full of vitality, high spirits and no old age. His mysterious, broad, tolerant and gentle temperament attracts me all the time, inspires me, gives me strength, belief and courage, and makes me feel full, happy and quiet.

Mount Tai is magical, and its magic lies in its changeable natural features and splendid humanistic connotation.

Day and night in Mount Tai are different. During the day, Mount Tai is lush, clear and lively; At night, the sleeping Mount Tai showed his quiet, mysterious and gentle side to the world. In summer, Taicheng people like to have dinner early and take their families to Heilongtan to enjoy the cool, and I am no exception. There is plenty of rain in summer, and the "roaring" waterfall pours down from a height and splashes into the bottom of the pool, just like a flying dragon falling. Black Dragon Pool is surrounded by mountains and rocks, and streams pass through the crevices, such as the Ming Pei Ring. The air in the mountains is cool and everything is quiet. Only the bugs lurking in the grass are singing softly and playing with their own rhythm.

Moonlight shines mottled on clean and smooth stones through the cracks of pine needles. The breeze is blowing, mixed with the unique natural atmosphere of pine forest. Suddenly, I stood up at a loss because I couldn't feel the humidity and coolness under me. Only then did I find that a shallow spring quietly overflowed my leaning rock. Now I think of Wang Wei's poem "There is moonlight in the pine forest and crystal stone in the stream". It turned out to be such a situation! How can you have this idea without entering this scene?

The breeze blows into my arms and the stream flows into my heart. This situation makes people think of "poetry immortals". After encountering the "cold current" of his official career, Li Bai sent his feelings to the mountains and rivers, exiled the mountains and forests, and wrote poems like immortals. In the 25th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 737), Li Bai came to Mount Tai. The majestic beauty of Mount Tai made the poets accustomed to wandering around the world and wandering the rivers and lakes "intoxicated and unaware of their return". When he boarded the worse gate, he gave a heartfelt admiration of "the roaring in Tianmen and the cool breeze in Wan Li", and Mount Tai gave him spiritual comfort, which freed him from the anguish of "Alas, how can I grovel to high-ranking officials?". During this period, Li Bai, Kong, Han Zhun, Pei Zheng, Tao Mian lived in seclusion in Zhuxi, Culai Mountain, south of Mount Tai. They raised their glasses to invite the moon, proudly celebrated the Spring Rock and reveled in wine, which was called "Zhu Xi's Six Replies". Today, what they express is nothing more than a carefree cultural attitude and an ideal romantic lifestyle.

My feet have risen and fallen countless times, stepping on one stone step after another and overlapping on the footprints of my predecessors. Listen to Taishan, don't walk too fast, just stop and go, but be near or far, and let your mind and heart keep up. Tired, lean against an old pine tree and have a rest. Close your eyes, it's another dry Kun. Listening to the bird's slow, tight, clear and euphemistic tone, I seem to see the naughty nature of these elves looking around. Bursts of breeze come in waves, with a long-lost ethereal breath, touching the strings that are no longer sensitive in life. A sense of tension surges and stretches in the body. Perhaps this is the wonderful * * * song that will be produced after the integration of human life and nature?

We are often so busy that we forget the original intention of being busy and get lost on the road. It is better to slow down, calm down and empty your heart, and the road can go further. Walking, some confusing things may be clear, and some depressed emotions will be thorough; Walking, maybe you will arrive at the worse gate, maybe you will see the sunrise and the sea of clouds, and get unexpected surprises.

Stepping on the last step, looking back at the road and looking at the long winding steps, I really feel sorry for myself. I actually walked up step by step.

Mount Tai is extremely high, the mountains are crawling, the heavens and the earth are boundless, and the blue sky is within reach. At this moment, a noble spirit arises spontaneously. On the eternal mountains and rivers, you can feel the harmony of the universe, let the whole life be pulled out from the narrowness of "self", and you can look into the vast sky and listen to the echoes from the depths of time.

Qin Shihuang, who dominated the world and climbed Mount Tai, stood at the top, looking south at "empty Shao Hao" and east at Boming to seal the country and cherish the memory of his ancestors;

Wu Zetian, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and fluttering clothes, dressed in fine clothes, came with Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to seal the heaven and Zen land, symbolizing the rule of heaven and earth. Taishan witnessed the queen's metaphorical mind;

Du Fu, a frail poet with a long beard, chanted loudly in the clouds in the flute: "Mount Tai is the top of the mountain! ? Endless green spans Qilu and Qilu. ... "

These changeable images, such as fleeting moments, fly over the historical sky of Mount Tai for the second time, leaving only light or thick traces.

Some people say that Mount Tai is a mountain of culture, politics and religion. For me, it is a "spiritual mountain". His dignified and straight appearance and his inner soul, which is heavy and breathes the universe, need to be understood and searched by individuals themselves. In this way, the spiritual supply of Mount Tai will flow like running water, injecting fresh strength and courage into you.

A friend, calling himself a "mountain man", has been obsessed with Mount Tai for many years and has never changed his original intention. When he was free, he went to the mountains. He took many photos of Mount Tai, and each photo showed the unique charm of Mount Tai. I have written many scattered articles, each with a unique vision and profound feelings. I think he should be a good Taishan listener.

Mount Tai is alive, warm and emotional. You must take off your armor and face it, and then he will open his heart to accept you and give you what you want.

Across Qian Shan, across thousands of waters. What we are looking for is nothing more than those things that can illuminate our hearts.

After all, mountaineering is just a spiritual journey. And travel, just to find an inexplicable acquaintance between mountains and rivers, a tacit understanding and touch of deja vu.

Listening to Mount Tai means listening to the real world and yourself.
