Welcome to today's fantasy mountain and sea scripture tour, after leaving the first swagger mountain in the Magpie Mountain, go three hundred miles east, is the Tangting Mountain we want to introduce, Tangting Mountain is the third mountain of the South Mountain, Queshan is the starting point of the South Mountain through the mountain system, and the Swagger Mountain is connected to the Queshan Mountain, and the mountains after that are far apart! Well, let's see what the original text says!
The Classic of Mountains and Seas says, "Three hundred miles to the east, the mountain of the court, many trees, many white apes, many water jade, and many gold." ”
First of all, let's first understand the geographical location of the Tangting Mountain, which is swaggering three hundred miles from Shandong, which is quite far away! Next, I will focus on what specialties this Tangting Mountain has! The original text says that there are many 棪 (yǎn) woods on the mountain, what exactly is this? According to investigations, it may be the junqian tree of the present-day persimmon family, the genus Persimmon tree, which is an arbor, bearing fruits like apples, and the surface is red and can be eaten.
This tree is a close relative of the persimmon tree, its fruit name is Jun Qianzi, I haven't eaten it, I don't know if it's delicious, interested friends can try it!
What else is there on the mountain? The book says how many white apes, what is this white ape? Apes are long-lived animals. The ancients believed that monkeys lived to be eight hundred years old and became apes. Of course this is unlikely, in short, the status of apes is higher than that of monkeys! Li Shizhen said in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the ape is produced in the sacred mountains and rivers, and its arms are very long and can absorb the essence of nature, so its lifespan is very long. So it can be seen from this that the white ape here should be a white gibbon!
What else is this mountain of court? The text says "more water jade, more gold"! This mountain is very rich in minerals, no worse than Swagger Mountain! What is water jade? It's crystal, and of course it's diamonds! What is gold, there is no need to say more, perhaps, there is a lot of dog-headed gold on the ground!
Finally, let's take a look, which mountain is this mountain in reality? It is said that it may be at the junction of Hunan and Guangdong, and it is impossible to know which mountain it is!
Well, that's all for the general situation of this Tangting Mountain! Let's sum up, Tangting Mountain is located three hundred miles east of Swagger Mountain, the main plant on the mountain is wood, the main animal is white ape, and there are many crystals and gold in minerals! Next we will enter the Mountain of Wings!
