Su Shi elements on Changshan Mountain in Zhucheng

Changshan Mountain is located 10 kilometers south of Zhucheng City, with an altitude of 297 meters. Its original name is Crouching Tiger Mountain, so named because it looks like a crouching tiger. Su Shi said in "Yuquan Ji": "The Dongwu coast is windy and there are no ditches, so the rate is often suffering from drought. Praying to the mountain is not unreasonable. The people rely on it for its trustworthiness, and it is built on those who have constant virtue. , so it is called Changshan." Su Shi had known Mizhou for two years and had visited Changshan many times. He left many records about Changshan in his poems. The scenery in Changshan also has strong Su Shi elements.

Changshan cultural and historical attractions recorded include: Changshan Temple, Su Gong Temple, Yuanlan Pavilion, Yuquan Pavilion, Guangli Pavilion, Wanghai Tower, Bixia Palace, Huangmaogang and many steles and monuments. Cliff inscriptions, etc. There are three peaks at the top of Changshan Mountain. Guangli Pavilion is built on the west peak, Anhua Pagoda is built on the middle peak, and Bixia Palace is built on the southeast peak. Changshan Cultural Museum is built at the foot of the mountain. It is a large-scale cultural tourism holy place integrating religion, cultural relic protection, art display, cultural research, leisure and sightseeing.

Changshan is known as the sacred mountain for praying for rain. According to historical records, after Su Shi went to Changshan to pray for rain in April 1075, he wrote "Ciyunzhang Preaching Happy Rain": The gods of Changshan Mountain believe in heroes and martyrs, and they drive the thundering male and the lightning female. The wind changed color when I returned from the mountains. In the middle of the road, I can already feel the sheep dancing. The pines and bamboos are noisy outside the night window, and the cream is flowing in the morning border. Su Shi served as an official in Mizhou for more than two years. He led his subordinates to Changshan Mountain many times to pray for rain and pray for the gods. Out of gratitude, he renovated the Changshan Shrine, built a new Yuquan Pavilion, and petitioned. The emperor conferred the title of "Runminhou" on Changshan God.

Changshan gave Su Shi abundant creative inspiration. There are more than ten poems and essays about Changshan. In "Climbing the Peak of Changshan Guangli Pavilion" it is said: Looking to the west is Muling Pass and to the east is Langye Terrace. Looking south to Jiuxian Mountain, looking north to Feifei in the sky. Among them, the poem "Sacrifice to the Small Hunting in Changshan Mountain" is extremely outstanding:

The soap flag is lit in front of the green cover, and a long fence is formed under the yellow thatched hill.

The arrogant horse runs in the air and flies in the air while the rabbit and goshawk are skimming the ground.

Looking back at the white clouds with green crotch, returning home with red leaves all over the clothes.

If a wise man uses Xiliang book, Bai Yu can still be effective.

There is also the work "Jiangchengzi·Hunting in Mizhou", which is the formative work of his bold style of poetry:

I am going crazy as a teenager. He holds the yellow on the left, holds the blue on the right, wears a brocade hat and mink fur, and rides on thousands of horses. In order to repay Qingcheng, he followed the prefect, shot tigers himself, and watched Sun Lang.

The wine is intoxicating and the chest is still open. It doesn’t matter if there is a little frost on the temples! In the cloud of holding the knot, when will Feng Tang be sent? He can hold the eagle bow like the full moon, look northwest, and shoot at the wolf.
