The Historical Humanity of Mawei Mountain

The hilly area borders Bohai Sea in the east, Qilu in the south and Beijing and Tianjin in the north. Since ancient times, it has been the place where the nine rivers in North China Plain enter the sea, and it is the final meeting point of the nine rivers culture. As early as the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor Ying Zheng sent alchemist Xu Fu to lead 3,000 children and men to the sea to seek the medicine of immortality. Chui fook is gone, but the first emperor came in person, looking forward to the return of thousands of children in Qian Qian. Wang Zi Island in Haixing got its name. Today, the folk custom "Angel Festival" in Yanshan and Haixing areas evolved from the sacrificial activity of "seeking children" in Qin Dynasty (the local dialect "seeking" is pronounced as "believing"). For Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he also visited this mountain and saw the immortals in Penglai Fairy Mountain, in order to live forever. He is not only "a prosperous ship, and makes thousands of people who are said to be sea gods beg Penglai God to stay at sea", but also dials a post car on land and sends more than 1,000 alchemists to quietly seek immortality. For this reason, Xiaoshan built two observation platforms to observe and contact people to seek immortality. Today, two sites still exist, and the local area is called "Wudi Terrace". The two stations are 30 kilometers apart, and the North Station is more than 30 kilometers northeast of the hill. In recent years, Haixing cultural workers accurately located the South Station 6 kilometers east of the hill according to the research of related cultural relics and documents.

In 206 AD, Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, led a handsome army to crusade against pirates and the back mountain (Magu Mountain, Wudi County, Shandong Province, also known as Jieshi, is 20 kilometers away from the back mountain. ) The area "faces the sea by the mountain", climbing high and overlooking, wrote the famous poem "Looking at the Sea". There is a "toppling well" 30 kilometers northeast of the mountain (a little south of Taibei Terrace of Emperor Wu), which is said to be the place where Cao Gong drinks horses. The poem "toppling well" written by Wang Ao, an official of the Ming Dynasty (now a native of Mengcun County): "It is freezing in the south of the emperor, and the whip is awesome; The jealous woman took the horse and drank it, but she has been falling down for years. " Wang Tianguan also has the poem "Wu Ditai": "Build a high platform more than 100 feet on the land, and climb to the sea to have Xianju; In his later years, he mourned and regretted, and his great achievements were always empty. "

"The mountain is not high, but there are immortals." Hill is a famous historical mountain and a monument of traditional culture, with rich and meaningful human landscape. According to historical records, there are many ancient buildings on the mountain, such as Wanghai Temple, Huang Yu Temple, Wang Yao Temple, Longwang Temple, Qilongkou Xianren Bridge, Octagonal Glass Pagoda, Grandma in White Temple and Shenglong Temple. There used to be spectacular trees, such as Cooper and ancient tea, which covered the sun. Time has passed and these historical sites have disappeared, but the sites are still there. Only a few woodcut couplets removed from Longwang Temple in the 1940s were written by He Ji Shao, a famous scholar and painter in Qing Dynasty. He said: "Spring comes to the sky without color, but when rain comes to the world, there is sound."

Good birds choose wood to live in. With its unique geographical location and excellent geomantic omen, this mountain has always been a battleground for military strategists in past dynasties. The ancient folk song "Mountains are mountains, horses are mountains, rivers of blood and bones are like mountains …". After investigation, a large number of ancient remains, especially ancient tombs, have been discovered in different historical stages since the Neolithic Age. Many pottery, porcelain, bronze mirrors, bronze swords, copper pots, coins and other cultural relics have also been unearthed on the mountain (there is also a tiger charm, which was unearthed in Shanhou Village of Yu Xiaoshan and lost in his early years. ), now more hidden in the county cultural relics protection.

The Xiaoshan site itself is a typical ancient tomb group. There are many ancient tombs on the hillside of Simian Mountain, especially the tombs of the Warring States and the Han Dynasty. The most prominent in the south is the tomb of Liu Yang, a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province (according to the test, the owner of the tomb is Liu Bang's great-grandson and Liu Yang, the cousin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), commonly known as Tuanshanzi. In August 2003, due to improper construction by a military unit, the main peak of the mountain was seriously damaged. However, this has also solved the mystery that has plagued cultural relics workers for many years-the main peak is suspected to be artificially built. Provincial, municipal and county cultural relics management departments jointly formed an archaeological team to investigate the main body and ancient tunnels of the mountain (there are many tunnels in the Warring States or Han Dynasty, which are suspected to be large underground fortifications of that year. ) conducted a two-week exploration and investigation. It is found that the main peak of this mountain is not naturally formed. As the Haixing cultural relics suspect, it is made of artificially compacted mixed sand layer by layer. In the rammed layer, a layer of rice slurry is added every two meters to fill the hardness of yellow sand. According to the field investigation and textual research on the scattered pieces of jade clothes unearthed around it in the past, experts determined that it was a large-scale tomb artificially rammed and sealed 1800 years ago, most likely the tomb of Liu Yi, the ancestor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Liu Hong, the king of Bohai Sea. In the 1960s, a large-scale tunnel was dug in this hill to prepare for the war. After it was dug together with the ancient tunnel, there were six or seven bronzes such as bronze tripod and cultural relics such as gray clay pots and pots (unfortunately, they no longer exist).

After thousands of years of weathering, the hills are covered with fertile soil, and the dunes in the west are soft and sandy, with unique scenery. The spring water in the mountains is sweet and refreshing, which is due to the infiltration of natural precipitation into layers of flaky cotton stone, which is accumulated year by year and filtered every year. It is rich in metasilicic acid and more than 20 kinds of trace elements necessary for human body, such as strontium, selenium, lithium, zinc and iodine. There are many stone wells (it is estimated that there are about 200 ancient and modern stone wells), and spring water flows out of deep pools, nourishing generations of hardworking and intelligent talents. The fluorine content of mountain spring is extremely low, which is very suitable for drinking and irrigation. It is said to be better than Laoshan mineral spring. The vegetables watered with it are pure in color and fragrance (hills, leeks, etc.). Since ancient times, it has been famous for hundreds of miles), and melons and fruits are thin and sweet, all of which are good products. Wang Qingyuan's "Yanshan Zhi Zhu Ci" in the Qing Dynasty says: "The vernal equinox has passed, the autumn equinox has passed, and the jujube is ringing; Three or two families have planted 100,000 trees, and the red clouds are shining on the roof of Tiantou. " There is a lyric "Folk Song" in front of the author: "Since ancient times, there have been mountains in Cangzhou, and the springs on the hills are sweet; Butterfly flies and warblers spend thousands of trees, and coriander is natural ... "This is also the reason.

The hills are not only rich in cultural landscapes, but also have beautiful natural scenery. The snow on the mountain and the waves listening to the East China Sea have long been included in the scenic spots of the ancient Yanshan Mountain, which often makes people linger. At this time, many literati often improvise poems to express their feelings. Emperor Taizong climbed over the hill when he marched eastward to Korea, and was moved by the scenery here, leaving beautiful and picturesque masterpieces "Folk Songs" and "Folk Songs". For many years, the academic circles have been unable to reach an agreement on the annotations of these two works. This spring, there were two new breakthroughs in Haixing literature archaeology. One view is that Han Yun's hometown is actually Haixing Mountain, and another view is that Emperor Taizong sang Haixing Mountain. The poem "Yong Xiao Mountain" says: "The heart of the valley is lingering, and the far peak is opposite to the hibiscus; The diameter is thin and wrinkle-free, and the pine is small and smoke-free. " Lu You, a poet in the Song Dynasty, boarded this mountain and chanted with the poem "Scenery in Scenery": "Zhou Qi has a good place to climb the landscape cave; In the autumn night, the boat is east, and the beach is spring. " Qi Feng, a scholar (now from Zhaomaotao Town, Haixing), was a reporter of Zhao Yan Metropolis Daily and a sage of Qi Shengyong's family. There is also "Snow on the Mountain": "Being with Xiao Yun, Qingfeng clears, and Yao Taiwan independence sees the sky; Ji snow gray silver strewn at random, cold light faint jade exquisite. When the Zen master left home, he screamed at the ape and the woodcutter stepped on his shoulder. I have a relatively close thatched cottage and I am sitting in the Crystal Palace. " Wei befriended the monks in Xiaoshan Temple, and wrote a poem "Wanghai Temple in Xiaoshan": "The rock head is brightly lit, and there are several monks' rooms; Luo Xue fainted on the first night, and the Milky Way was full. People go to Shandian far, and go into the sea forever; Look east to Penglai tomorrow. " Li Yongshou (from Haixing County), director of the Guanglu Temple in Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, also wrote the poem "Yi Shan": "Yi Shan grows in the water and looks wide in the east; The horse rises to the top of the sky, and the Buddha lamp shines high on Mars. Herbs hide yam along the way, forget the bait and swim to swallow the fishing rod; I asked the old monk about the ruins and pointed to Tan Qilong in the north. " ("Tan Qilong", also known as "Riding Longkou", is a scenic spot in the north of Shanxi. )

The poem "There is a clear sound in the mountains and rivers" written by Shang Shu of the Qing Army Department and Emperor Sun Baoyuan: "Suddenly there is nowhere, and the mountains and rivers are clear; The forest is dense and popular, and the stream is harmonious. Springs swallow in the rocks, and pines clear in the middle of the month; Loud and clear, Wan'er is drawing. Lonely winds and degrees, empty pools and flat waves; Straight with the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound is like stone. There is also "the giant fish longitudinal gull": "Fu fish playing in the water, swimming leisurely; Return to the valley at the right time, and the road will flow down. Suddenly, the golden shuttle jumps and the jade foot floats; Waves turn over thousands of miles of snow, scales turn over hundreds of rivers and autumn. Who can reach the sea, Teng Tao? You are the only dragon. Look at the excitement when punishing and rush into the ditch. " (Barracuda barracuda in Yongshan Mountain and Bohai Sea)

Wang Qingyuan, a native of Yanshan in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "Poems on Bamboo Branches in Yanshan": "Yanshan should be in the Gulf of the Near East, and Lushan is bigger than Gulangyu; Where is the salt mountain in Lushan Mountain? Looking over the mountains to see the mountains. " In the Qing Dynasty, Zhao (Haixing) wrote "You Ma Wei Mountain": "Driving Ma Wei Mountain, the mountains are full of smoke and lush trees; When the crisis turns to the stone path, people will move along the grass. The government bowed to the quiet space step by step; There is a thousand-year-old tree in the middle, which is so strange. Flowers are ripe at four o'clock, and the fragrance is dim and green; The lonely brake rises from poverty, and the tower shadow shines on the forest table. On the shore of Baiquan, the stream is full of spring; People are idle and secluded, and there is little communication here. The spirit traces nine rivers, and the terrain controls three islands; Sit with a pot and listen to the birds singing. "

"Since ancient times, there have been many sages who traveled far and wide, and now there are unprecedented passers-by." This mountain has been designated as a provincial volcanic landform nature reserve, a cultural relic protection zone and a municipal key tourism development zone, and tourists from far and near come here for sightseeing. I believe there will be more poems and beautiful essays to praise this mountain. "Xu Fang is far away, and the king of Bohai sleeps on the top of the mountain" (the author's old couplet). With the continuous construction of Huanghua Port and the rapid rise of Bohai Economic Circle, this hill will surely become a bright pearl in the crown of Bohai New District in Cangzhou.
