Mr. Zhu Ziqing wrote in "Spring": "Spring is like a doll that has just landed, from head to toe is new, it grows." Spring is like a little girl, walking with a smile. Spring is like a strong youth, with iron arms and waists and feet, leading us forward. "The New Year of the Tiger always gives people hope, vigor and vitality, as if all good things will come alive in the spring."

Take the "tiger" land. In Longkou's Xiahu Longshi Village, I remember the hard days when my father and eldest brother pushed stones from here in the 70s with a cart and walked more than 30 miles to Longkou Port to compete for work. Xiahu Longshi Village is adjacent to Shanghu Longshi Village in the south, from the southern boundary mountain, from Zhaoyuan Shipeng Village to the west to the south of Heijiao Village, to the north through Mogou Village to Dog Mountain, with a total length of about 5 kilometers and an altitude of 450 meters, called Hushan Mountain Range. The east, south and west sides are surrounded by Qinglongbei Mountain, Dog Mountain and Tiger Mountain. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, it was one of the important base areas of the Eighth Route Army and was also the garrison of the Hushan District.
According to the "Longkou City Village Chronicle", during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the zhan surname moved from Yunnan to settle, because there is Qinglongbei Mountain in the southeast, Tiger Mountain in the southwest, and the two mountains are huge rocks, named "Tiger Dragon Stone", and then there are Chen surnames who moved to the south of Hushan Mountain, named Shanghu Longshi Village, where the terrain is low, and the natural formation of the Lower Tiger Dragon Stone Village. The surname Zhan did not have a male ding, and recruited a son-in-law with the surname of Sun to join the family. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the surname of Sun also recruited a son-in-law surnamed Wang from the village of Shangkuan in this town, and then the two major surnames have multiplied to this day. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a Temple of Ma Renfu was built on the half slope of Tiger Mountain in the southwest of the village. The temple has an area of 50 square meters and has a south gate and a north gate. Two temples were built on a 1-meter-high staircase to the west of the courtyard. The main temple is a seated statue of the Three Nights Lady, flanked by statues of the land lord, the throat goddess lady, and the goddess lady; the west hall is a samurai statue riding a lin, an elephant, and a tiger; and in the south of the hall is a bell tower, in which a large bell hangs, and the ringing of the bell can be heard 10 miles away. The first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month is Temple Day. After death, the villagers all go to the temple to send souls, report to the temple, and ring bells. The temple was ripped off during the "Pull Temple" movement and the ruins have now been bulldozed.
After the Spring Festival of the Year of the Tiger this year, I drove to the place where my father and eldest brother pushed stones more than 40 years ago. Follow the patchwork smooth stone path and enter the thousand-year-old village of Xiahushi Village. Stone houses, stone walls, stone courtyards, stone alleys, the "tethered horse stone" on the wall is engraved with unique marks left by time. There is a large stone in the center of the village, the villagers commonly call it "North Stone", this stone was later transformed into a new rural area with an antique pavilion, and there are three main streets in the village, called East Street, Middle Street and West Street. There is a large stone on the north of the village with several footprint-like stone prints, which are commonly known as the "Immortal Bridge" because of its proximity to a small bridge. Overlooking the deep silence of the stone lane in the village, the traces of the bluestone carving of the old house "Yuanbao", although it has experienced the vicissitudes of the years, you can still hear the distant sound, which reverberates faintly in the alley. More than 10 stone old houses, bluestone walls, "small coarse tiles" roofing, ancient green bricks and gray tiles, after a hundred years of wind and rain baptism, more simple and vicissitudes. Old houses, stone walls, stone roads...

Look at the "Tiger" shadow. Laishan Mountain, also known as Laishan Mountain, Laiyin Mountain, is 60 miles southeast of the ancient city of Huangxian County, with an altitude of more than 600 meters and a stretch of more than ten miles. When Qin Shi Huang was touring the world, he built the ancestral temple of the eight lords (God, landlord, soldier lord, yin lord, yang lord, moon lord, day lord, and four-hour lord), and the moon lord shrine was built on Laishan Mountain. In this regard, the "Book of Feng Zen" has a definite record: "Qi has eight gods, six moon lords, and laishan of the temple." Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty and Emperor Xuan also worshiped this mountain. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it has successively built palaces for the moon god in Nanguan, Quanshuixuan, Xuxiangcheng and Tangjia, and sacrificed at four o'clock. In the event of a drought, local officials and the people would set up an altar in front of the Moon Lord's Shrine to pray for rain, and the warriors would send troops to pray and resign. In the sixth year of Ming Zhengde, (1511) in November, Dengzhou Wei Qi Jingtong was entrusted with "suppressing bandits", guarding Zou County, passing through Laishan Mountain, climbing the moon god, and praying for the protection of the moon god. After his triumphant return to the east, he wrote a seven-law poem "Passing over Laishan" in August of the following year, vowing to "return to le shi to answer the gods". In the feudal era, Laishan and Taishan and Huashan were juxtaposed, and they were also famous mountains in the world.
Laishan Peak is beautiful and lush, so it is called "Fairy Spirit Cave." "The beautiful landscape blends with splendid culture, famous people, beautiful legends and historical sites, making it more poetic and romantic. At the eastern foot of Laishan Mountain, there is a Laishan Temple "Zhending Temple" built in the Han Dynasty. The temple is divided into a mountain gate, a main hall, and a nave, which is built according to the mountain and is staggered. The temple is majestic, grand in scale, majestic and magnificent. There is a theater building in front of the mountain gate, and every gathering day and god meeting, tourists are weaving. There are five ancient pagodas in front of the temple, with simple shapes, exquisite and delicate, dragon and phoenix reliefs, circling and flying. In addition, there is still a famous Black Tiger Cave, legend has it that there are two black tigers crouching at the mouth of the cave, there is a black tiger spring in front of the cave, there is a spring water gushing out of the stone, sweet and abnormal, around the Lai Mountain Courtyard to the west, shaped like a full moon, surplus but not overflowing. There is a dragon's claw locust on the east side of the temple and a yellow purlin tree on the west side, which is old and has a strong bud and is imposing. Every year in the spring season, the temple peonies compete for the wonders, the mountains are full of rhododendrons like fire, the wild lilacs are fragrant, and the flowers are red and green, and the flowers are red and green, and the flowers are full of vitality.
There are two peaks on the top of Lai Mountain, south of Nanshangu and north of the north stone roof. According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshipped this mountain to climb the main peak, he fell down, so it was also known as "Rolling Dragon Cliff". On the west side of the main peak of Laishan Mountain, there is a "Huozi Dam", which is more than ten miles long and rocky. In front of the mountain, there are "horse barricades", "drinking horse bays" and "racecourses". At the cliff where the two peaks are sandwiched, the cliffs are deep and the valleys are quiet, and there are clear spring waterfalls, such as spraying pearls and scattered jade, which is the birthplace of the Rhine River. There are fairy caves on the mountainside, stone wells and lotus ponds underneath, and the pond springs are self-gushing, and they do not dry up at four o'clock, and they are clear and clear, and the water tastes sweet. Laishan has eight ancient scenery: the ancient cave chaoyang, pouring water from the well, Songshan Evening Cui, Qingquan Gargle, Square Bridge Pressing moon, Lotus Pond Yuxiu, Pouring Evergreen Pine, and Shandao Shizhou. The four large characters of "Mountain Island Ten Continents" are carved on a two-foot-high boulder, and the pen is vigorous and can be recognized to this day, and it has been written by a county commander more than 300 years ago. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was once intoxicated by the beautiful scenery of the Eight Scenic Spots of Laishan Mountain, and even stopped and forgot to return. Historically, feudal eunuchs and literati have been inked.
According to Mr. Wang Yumin, an expert in Longkou folklore, in the book "Laohuang County", "A tiger shadow on the top of Lai Mountain is better than the eight major sceneries of Penglai", in the early years, this popular Huangxian folk song spread throughout the north of the South China Sea, and many people crossed the sea to Huang County to see the strange natural landscape of "mountain photographing tiger shadow". Penglai has many scenic spots since ancient times, and the eight scenic spots recorded in the Qing "Dengzhou FuZhi" are in order of Xiange Lingkong, Shenshan Haishi, Shidong Smoke Cloud, Wan Xie Zhujie, Fishing Sorghum Song Fishing, Sunrise Fusang, Late Tide Crescent Moon, Chengbo Wanli and so on. What is puzzling is that the mystery of huangxian's mountain tiger shadow is comparable to the eight scenic spots of Penglai, and there is more than that. As long as the wind is quiet and the mountains are green, they can be seen every day and all year round. However, in recent years, it is better to take noon in the spring and autumn seasons, looking south in the city of Huang county, at the northern foot of the main peak of Caishan Mountain, a daisy blue tiger standing on top of the sky, with clear markings and tiger spirits, under the guidance of a fairy master, booing the sky and the land, waddling the wind, from the southwest direction of the mountain peak to show the trend of descending the mountain, swooping down towards the northeast, making people suddenly feel the tiger whistling canyon, the mountains and rivers vibrating. But those who have experienced this spectacle are all impressed by the spectacular scene of "the tiger roaring and the valley wind".
In the tiger is the respect of a hundred beasts, the ancients regarded it as an auspicious animal, Laishan is a natural barrier in the south of Huangxian County, and this tiger shadow in the mountain is undoubtedly regarded by the ancients as the auspicious light that wards off evil spirits and ensures peace in the territory. The beauty of the mountain photo tiger shadow is also that "the foot does not have to travel far, the body does not have to work hard, and if you do not climb the Lai Mountain, you will enjoy the mountain view." In the early years, those silver-bearded old men always wanted to carry the naughty children with their knees in their hands, while watching the scenery of the mountain and telling the story of Laishan and the tiger. The shadow of the mountain and the tiger is actually a phantom created by the fusion of mountains and sunlight. The Republic of China edition of the "Huangxian Chronicle" records that the abdomen of the main peak of Laishan Mountain in front of the Moon Lord's Ancestral Hall "has a huge stone towering, rising above the clouds, making a circular floating pattern, the surrounding is steep and straight, the diameter is about a few inches, and the mountain stone is dark... The so-called Laishan Tiger Shadow is also".
Legend has it that Laishan did have tigers, and even Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who was personally on the expedition, also encountered tigers on the mountain. The Qianlong edition of the "Huangxian Chronicle" records that in the nineteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (645), Emperor Taizong passed through Laishan on his eastern expedition, two black tigers blocked the way, and the royal horses did not dare to cross, and later a Zen master broke the siege for him, which is the written information about Laishan stored in the desk, the black tiger cave and the black tiger spring on the mountain still exist, and it has become a rare holy place for people to visit.
In the Year of the Tiger, take the "Tiger" land and see the shadow of the "Tiger". Today's Xiahu Longshi Village, which is not what it used to be, is as beautiful as a painting, as thick as a poem, with green mountains and green waters, and meandering waters, this natural landscape scenery depicts a new picture of beautiful countryside. A few days ago, it has been announced by the Shandong Provincial People's Government as the fifth batch of Shandong provincial-level ancient villages. Laishan has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, but the ancient "tiger shadow on the top of Laishan Mountain" still tells the legendary past to future generations. Laishan's mountains, stones, grasses and trees have aroused people's endless reverie, it is not only a favorite place of Range Rover, but also a good place to hang on to the traces and think about ancient feelings.
