Out of the south gate of Huixian County, along the hillside, we stepped into the journey over the Qingni Ridge, the mountain road is rugged, the path is curved, and between the grass and fields, we can vaguely see the traces of the pedestrian horse gang walking in those years. Looking at it from afar, the mountains are obscure and the sea of clouds is undulating, no wonder the ancient fallen literati will have a realistic feeling of "where is the cloud crossing Qinling family, and the snow is holding the blue pass and not moving forward".
Taishan Temple is the most complete and large-scale temple on the Qingni Ancient Road, according to the remains that can be examined, it was built in the Tang Dynasty, destroyed in the Song and Yuan Dynasty due to drought and war, and the existing halls and pavilions are mostly Ming and Qing dynasty and modern buildings. The ancient pine forest here, full of cigarettes, is a more eye-catching scenery strung together with history and reality on the Qingni Ancient Road.
After passing the Taishan Temple, climb over a few small mountain beams, you will reach the famous Qingniyi, which is the last post station to cross the main peak of Qingniling, Tieshan Mountain.
Ancient road new gardenia,
Qingni Village is full of sunshine.
At that time, Li Bai was drunk and looked at it,
Still at the neighbor's house on the stagecoach.
Today, in this ancient village still called Qingni Village, through many cultural relics, we seem to be able to feel the prosperity of Qingniyi with shops, wine flags, merchants and merchants.
According to the "New Repair of Baishui Road Stele", in the second year of Song Jiayou, in order to avoid the danger of Qingniling, the white water road from Lichuan Township, Hui County, to the Baishui River in Liuyang, Shaanxi Province, was built through Dahedian Township, Hui County, and the Qingniling post station was abandoned, at that time, only 156 mail soldiers and 156 stagecoaches were dismissed, the post station and delivery shop saved 5,000 stone of grain for the imperial court every year, and the pile of feed for horses required 10,000 people to straighten their arms to hug it, and more than 30 deacons who dissolved the contract. However, the newly built White Water Road has added 2,309 loft boardwalks, post kiosks for those who deliver documents to rest along the way, barracks where stagecoaches are stationed, and 383 Tsunade houses for transporting large quantities of goods counting numbers. Through this comparison between the old and the new, imagine how many gentry and merchants are there in this Qingniyi inn, official residence, restaurant, pot, and the place where they have lived here for a long time, as well as the military, civilians, and merchants who come and go here? The mills, dry wells, nests, and mangers scattered in and outside the village, among the grass and trees, seem to tell us everything. The prosperity here once made sense, the south is a huge country of heavenly prefectures, the north is the vast Guanzhong land and the Hexi corridor, Qingniling post station is like a wide portal, bringing people who come down from Qingniling and are preparing to cross Qingniling into Shu gathered here, whether they are dignitaries or ordinary people, whether they are literati and rioters, or merchants and gentry, there are buildings where they drink and have fun, and they temporarily stay for a night in the Tukang. After recuperating here, you can set off and embark on another stop over the most difficult and dangerous Qingniling on the Shu Road.
Ten thousand valleys rushed down to the southwest, and the peaks rushed to the iron mountain. Qingniling is bordered by Mupiling to the west and Jialing River to the east, with roaring and turbulent rivers on the left flank and mountains and ravines on the right wing, so that although Qingniling is high and dangerous, it has become the only north-south passage here.
