Winter Snow Zhao Ocean - Night Piano Song
The proverb says: "The Seven-Nine Rivers open, the Eighty-Nine Geese come", but in the mountainous areas of Liaodong, it is often the Seven-Nine Rivers that open, the rivers that do not open, the Eighty-Nine Geese come, and the geese do not come.
The cold of the Year of the Rat, the heavy snow, the New Year of the Ox, the Chinese New Year's Eve, the said good snow, has not come.
Snowless mountains, deep and shallow, cascading pine forests and shrubs, brown, coffee-colored, dark gray and dark blue, very much like a bronze world.
Unexpectedly, on the second day of the first lunar month, just when people took off their winter clothes to welcome the spring, the mountains and rivers were covered with thick silver clothes, and overnight, the bronze world became a silver empire.
Looking back at the nine-nine sun, the glass jade, bright yellow purple gold, but also often a few cold rains and thick frosts stain the autumn color, the country and mountains change, it is so simple.
There is no trace of the empty mountain, it is when stepping on the snow.
From Xiejiaweizi, Tongjiangyu, Yingshui Temple, and then to the Hot Spring Temple, the Taizi River is like a drunk, bending through Three Bays, with a wide river valley on one side of the water bank and cliffs on one side.
Xie Jiaweizi Water Cave, which has a small temperature difference all year round, lurks for six kilometers of underground dark river, chooses the most beautiful section of the Prince River, protrudes from the water hole, shows a jasper-like body, merges into the main stream, from east to north, and then to the southwest, forming an S-shape, picturesque, the local people figuratively call it "Flinging Wanzi".
It is said that the Xiejiaweizi Water Cave is a large limestone water-filled cave formed in the late third century millions of years ago. The water flow is inexhaustible all year round, with a daily flow of 14,000 tons, an average water depth of 1.5 meters, a maximum depth of 7 meters, and a constant temperature of 12 °C in the cave. The water cave is a 5800 meters long underground water-filled cave, but also the world's longest underground water-filled cave found, it is said that tianlong cave is the source of Benxi water cave, a six-kilometer-long underground dark river connects Tianlong Cave and Benxi water cave end to end, becoming a unique geological and geomorphological wonder.
The Taizi River is like a brush containing ink, from east to west to south, all the way to the Bohai Sea. Along the way, it winds and stretches, willfully smears the beautiful waters of Lishan Mountains, moisturizes the black land in the north, creates a landscape painting system with Liaodong characteristics, gives birth to literary and poetry genres with landscapes as a prominent feature, and even influences the religious belief orientation in this area.
Driving through Tongjiangyu, it is the watershed between the water cave and the hot spring temple, the straight line is the water cave bridge, the side of the side is the Tongjiangyu ring overpass, the water side is a knife-like stone cliff, under the cliff is a deep pool, and the river bay at this time is a large white snow field.
I can't help but think of Liu Zongyuan's poem: "A thousand mountain birds fly to extinction, and ten thousand people disappear." Lonely boat, fishing alone in the snow of the Cold River. At this moment, this scene is a god-like fit.
On the cliff, a few pine trees and protruding strange stones, like snow-white jade carvings, the bridge body and steel bone cable of the Tongjiangyu Bridge are hung with thick white snow, changing the heroic style of the past, it seems to have become bloated, and it seems to have become bloated, and a beautiful arc has been drawn to extend into the distance.
Snow song and rime look similar, in fact, different, rime is formed by the temperature difference between water vapor and cold, the rime is tighter and whiter. Snow glazing is formed by falling snow, or both, and the snow is more moist and adhesion in early spring.
There are many rimes near the cave, because the water temperature from the underground dark river is high, even if there is no snow, it can form a rime, and the lake in front of the cave mouth blows mist, and the jade trees and flowers are like a fairyland.
After crossing the bridge, walking along the mountain road for a while, at the big bay point of the river, a bridge flying on both sides of the bridge, this is the Yingshui Temple Bridge. Walking in the middle of the bridge, standing against the wind, looking south from the railing, just like the Titanic sailing on the sea, if it is summer, open arms, the wind blows up the clothes, it must be very romantic.
The steep mountains and distant mountains on the shore are undulating, which is simply a fairy tale world of silver snow country, which can be imagined as much as you can imagine, the story of castles, white forests, giant elephants, totorocats, and even big fish and begonias.
Yingshui Temple is a village in Tongjiangyu, it is said that there was really an unknown temple on the hill less than two miles downstream, the Taoist people in the temple planted melons and fruits, and were stolen by the boatmen who put the rows, and the next day when the rows were put on, it coincided with a heavy rainstorm, the Prince River gathered flash floods, the river rose up, and the rows that were put down were pushed ashore again and again, and the boatmen panicked, "Didn't you eat something you shouldn't eat, and you were punished by heaven?" So he fell to his knees and donated money to the temple, and after a few days of torrential rain, it really stopped.
In the early years, Yingshui Temple was located in the "Guandu" section of the Taizi River, and slowly formed a village, with inns, and boats, platoons and boatmen often stopping and staying here.
All the boats passing by this place, the rows, will come to the temple to worship, incense day by day, slowly expanded into a large temple, called Dingshui Temple, later renamed Yingshui Temple, in the tongjiangyu near several temples, incense is the most prosperous.
In the early 1930s, the Japanese extended the railway from Benxi Lake to Niuxintai into a standard railway, connecting Benxi Lake, Xiaoshi, Alkali Factory and Master Tian, and the shipping on the Taizi River gradually decreased, and by the end of the 1960s, the temple was demolished during the Cultural Revolution, but the locals still used to call the villages in that area Yingshui Temple.
In 2014, a road bridge was built on the Taizi River, the name of Yingshui Temple was reactivated, and standing on the bridge overlooked, there was the Tongjiangyu Lasuo Bridge in the upper reaches of the south, and the Fajiayu Bridge in the lower reaches in the north, and the three bridges echoed each other.
Soaking in hot springs, hiking, strolling along the riverside, overlooking the river nagisa wild hemp duck playing in the water, listening to the low sound of the hot spring temple, more than a dozen miles of mountain roads, river valleys, cliffs, caves, hot springs, pine forests, tidal flats, water berths, flowers and seas of flowers gathered in between, it is really a rare golden water bank.
Spring Huaxia Rong, beautiful mountains and beautiful waters, full of vitality, autumn and winter, plain wrapped in silver makeup, ethereal silence, people are admired.
Yingshui Temple around the temple is also a lot, not far downstream there is a hot spring temple, Songquan Temple, even the current Benxi County is located in the small city, it is said that it was also evolved from the "small temple", at that time the more famous Yongning Temple, Guanyin Pavilion, smaller temples scattered between the dangerous peaks and mountains, according to the data: in 1906 (qing Guangxu thirty-two years), the county has a total of more than 100 monasteries, more than 400 monks, some villages actually formed an industrial chain of production of "incense", leaving the current "incense mill village".
Walking through some temples in Jiangnan, but also to some large churches, except for a few believers, the people who walk here can be roughly divided into two kinds, one is to empty, put down, for salvation, but more people are to ask, pray, seek results, that is, often said to make a wish, when there is a realization, come back to worship and make a wish.
In the temples in the mountains of Liaodong Province, the "gods" who are worshipped are also relatively casual, which can be Such as Guanyin, or the land of mountain gods, family ancestors and immortals, or even pinned on mountain stones and trees, giving them special meanings, hanging red, writing symbols, people who come to worship, most of them are the latter, material, casual, can not talk about faith, at least not "faith".
Chinese people like landscapes, sometimes almost "worship", which is also the reason for the many temples and pavilions between the deep mountains and the strange peaks and beautiful waters, taking the mountains as virtue and water as the sex, cultivating the heart. From ancient times to the present, landscape has always been the main axis of Chinese painting characterized by "Shangyi", which expresses the humanistic feelings of the author.
Confucius once said: "The wise man enjoys the water, the benevolent one leshan", the ancient scholar class has a natural sense of identity and belonging to the landscape, the landscape has even become a quasi-religion, many people respect the retreat of the mountain forest, in the natural landscape to find spiritual comfort and retreat, Xie Ling operated the "Mountain Residence Endowment", Xuan Buddha combined, giving the landscape a Chinese philosophical color.
In the 1980s, Haizi wrote a poem "Tibet", which integrated the landscapes of heaven and earth with people:
A lonely stone filled the whole sky
No night can make me fall asleep
No dawn can wake me up
He said: "I have only loved myself for this thousand years
There were no tears that turned me into a flower
No king has made me a throne
"I am the mountain, and the mountain stone is me", than the heart landscape, perhaps it is a kind of meditation.
The Six Ancestral Tantra Speeches and Zazen Articles: "For meditators, the use of external dwelling and untainted use is Zen, and the clear and clear abiding in the mind is concentration, and the so-called external meditation and inner concentration are the same as meditation." The Heart Sutra also says: "When you go deep into Prajnaparamita, you see that the five aggregates are empty and you will overcome all suffering." The so-called "deep walking" is meditation.
Started the car, looked back at the big river bay again, the white mountains and black water, but the heart was like the soup and soup river that had never frozen, conniving and calm.
Spring snow is in the past, stinging the future.
On the way back, the car player played Mika's "Love That Never Loses": "Walk through the rooftop to accompany you to see the meteors, survive the long wait for losing you..." The singing voice of crying, the singers and many young people on the scene were moist.
People will eventually understand that if there is really love in the world that will never lose contact, it must be their own calm and plump heart, the change is the four seasons, the unchanged is the landscape, and the mountain in the heart is the eternal "Jingting Mountain" in life.
