The literary rhyme is mellow, only this Yuanling.
The legendary and thick local context, wonderful cultural monuments, landscape paintings of water and sky, and ghostly natural landscapes have covered the charming ancient city of Yuanling with a mysterious veil.
Taking the opportunity of the "Following the Internet, Chain Moving Huaihua" Internet culture theme activity and the "Drunken Meiyuan Tomb Trip" activity for representatives of the new level, I came to Eryoudong, the place where "Xuefu Five Cars, Shutong Eryou" was born. The allusions to Eryoudong are most known to the outside world with the story of the book collection of "Eryoudong".
Eryou Cave is not large, can accommodate several people, because the mountain is steep and precipitous. The ancients had a poem: "The jade cave is lonely and half leaning on the sky, and the moon is hanging in the long river", which is the best interpretation of the dangerous terrain of Eryoudong.

The cave is not long, the shape of the cave is very similar to the countryman's cloak, the convex and concave edges are angular, and the cave is covered with Tibetan Jane. When going up the mountain, everyone was guessing, how to hide the "book in the cave"? How to deal with the dampness of the cave. Looking closer, we found that our worries seemed superfluous, and the surroundings were dry and clean.
I stood in the middle of the hole in the top of the cloak, which was only slightly taller, looking at the bronze statue where King Zhou Mu was sitting, and I guessed that if there was no King Zhou Mu who sacrificed his life to preserve the words and treasures, what kind of continuation would the future text be, the management of the dynasty, and what kind of difficult rules and games would the social life at the bottom be...
To know the second Youdong, you must first understand the second Youshan. Eryoudong is located 15 kilometers northwest of the county seat of Yuanling on the halfway side of the tip of the river Youshan Mountain, and the Yuanling people believe that Eryoushan is located at the confluence of Youshui and Youxi, hence the name.

We stepped on the "Eryou Cave" and climbed up the stairs, only 450 stone stairs. According to the tour guide, there are more than 700 steps to go up to the top of the mountain, which shows that the mountain is dangerous.
Stepping on the bluestone steps more than two meters wide, very much like a cloud ladder stretching out to the sky, along the way up the Eryou Cave, Yin Zhijun, the moderator of the Red Net Prose Essay Forum, because of his slightly poor health, I can only slow down to accompany me, and rest and take care of it.
After visiting Eryoudong, returning the same way, Zhuzhou Internet celebrity "Li Xiaocang" suffered from fear of heights, supported a stick, followed the steps to pick up the steps, and moved step by step. I was worried that he would accidentally step on the air, thinking that I had some strong body, and stop and stop in front of the steps in front of him just in case, and I told him to be careful and slow while staring at him intently. I think no matter what happens, I can stop him from being careless.
It turned out that he was just afraid of heights, and when he went down the mountain, he threw a stick and trotted all the way, and in an instant there was a vigor of life. No wonder, when he squatted down the mountain, my instructions became his burden, and his mouth replied from time to time: "Old brother, how can I be embarrassed to ask you to prevent falling on the left and the right against crookedness, if you really want to be crooked, I will sit crookedly on the stone steps and see if I can still get there..."
Through the time and space of history, I seem to return to my childhood school, the childhood classroom teacher looked serious, I heard the teacher tell the story of Qin Shi Huang's "book burning pit Confucianism", today's visit to Eryou Mountain, not only involved the topic of Qin Shi Huang's "book burning pit Confucianism", but also brought out the allusion of Mu Tianzi's Tibetan Jane.
Qin Shi Huang's "book burning and confucianism" was a cultural disaster that affected the course of Chinese history extremely far-reaching. In the "Outline of Chinese History", Zhui Bozan elaborated on the "book burning pit Confucianism": At that time, some Confucians and nomads hoped to restore the situation, and they "entered the wrong mind, and when they went out, they discussed in the streets", citing poetry and books in hundreds of languages, using the past and not the present.
In the thirtieth year of Qin Shi Huang (213 BC), Prime Minister Li Si requested the destruction of the "Poems" and "Books" and the elimination of private learning. Qin Shi Huang accepted Li Si's suggestion as follows: "Historical officials are not burned in the Qin Dynasty; If it is not the position of a doctor's official, the world dares to have a hundred languages of "poems" and "books", and he is a scholar and a lieutenant; Those who dare to say "poems" and "books" abandon the market; Ancient and non-modern; Whoever does not know is guilty of the same crime; It was ordered not to burn for thirty days, and the tattoo was made a city dan; The Book of Planting Trees for Those Who Do Not Go, Medicine, Medicine, Medicine, Medicine, Medicine If you want to learn the law, take the official as the teacher. "In this way, there was a book burning incident that shocked the Chinese people.
The following year, Fang Shi, who sought immortal medicine for Qin Shi Huang, had slanderous words and invited him to flee. Therefore, Qin Shi Huang sent imperial history to scout the Confucian Fangshi priests in Xianyang, and killed more than 460 people who were considered to have violated the ban. "Book burning and confucianism" is a barbaric and brutal event, which has caused great losses to the preservation of ancient documents and the teaching of scholarship.
Under the blow of Qin Shi Huang's "book burning pit Confucianism", in order to save Chinese culture and preserve the teachings of hundreds of schools of thought, Fu Sheng, a doctor of the imperial court, risked the danger of cursing the Nine Tribes, secretly transported 1,000 forbidden books out of Xianyang in five carriages, and after thousands of hardships arrived at Eryoushan in Yuanling, hid the book in Eryoudong, and lived in seclusion ever since. Qin destroyed Hanxing, and only then took out the entire collection of books from Eryoudong and dedicated them to the Han court. Doctor Fusheng does have a person, and Doctor Fusheng also has a book.
Let's take a look at King Mu of Zhou's collection in Eryoudong. King Mu of Zhou, the first great traveler in Chinese history, "The Legend of Mu Tianzi" says that King Mu of Zhou drove eight horses to the west and arrived at Kunlun Mountain. After that, he hid a large number of bamboo simple books in Eryoudong.
In the Ming Dynasty, Yuanling Tang Jiuguan had verses to corroborate: "The deep valley is still three generations old, and Baiyun remembers the song of King Mu." The period from King Mu of Western Zhou to the Spring and Autumn Warring States was the ancient period in Chinese history, and it is likely that Eryoudong continuously stored a large number of books. This is one of the sources of the related "Eryou Collection".
Through the time and space of history, there are many book collectors, but the historical records can be described as intertwined. The "Encyclopedia of China" and online materials all show that Dr. Qin Fusheng, that is, Fusheng, a scholar of Western Han classics, Zixiao, a native of Jinan, served as Dr. Qin in his early years. Qin Shi burned books, he hid the "Book of Shang" in the wall, early Han Dynasty, took it out of the wall, only twenty-nine articles remained, to teach Qilu, it was also he who transported the book to Yuanling, these can be used as the study of the official history and the wild history, it is not surprising that Er and others protected the inheritance of the Chinese script.
Check the historical materials, there are carriers to record the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, private schools are very prosperous throughout the country, of course Yuanling has private schools, after Qin Shi Huang unified the country, private schools are still allowed, but the content of teaching is restricted, coupled with the short life of the Qin Dynasty, it is too late to standardize and rectify private schools in remote areas, and it is not surprising that there are books in Eryoushan that circulated to the Han Dynasty.
Books are the ladder of human progress. "Eryoudong" has a magical story of cave heaven, and it is not unreasonable for the people of Yuanling to call "Eryoushan" "Zhonghuashushan".
I think that whether it is King Mu of Zhou or Fu Sheng, in the end, the two of them have concentrated their strength, dared to do it, thought in one place, worked hard in one place, so that they can retain the words of human society's great progress, the two have gone through hardships, and the patriotic heart of protecting Jian can preserve the living words and preserve them in the world, and the feat of making indispensable contributions to their heads shakes the heavens and the earth, weeping ghosts and gods, which is really singing and crying.
With the progress of human social civilization, writing is a burning fire. When our cultural knowledge is passed on and words are precipitated into a kind of wisdom and power, how can we forget that they took their lives to protect the Chinese blood. Yuanling people can develop and protect it, which is undoubtedly a double combination of software and hardware, which is a rare and valuable pen in public, private, reasonable, travel, and later...
Going down the mountain, I prayed over and over in my heart that King Mu of Zhou, Fusheng, etc., and the bloody feats of Er were the gods of faith that would forever reside in my heart...
