A mountain, a bird, and two emperors of the eternal love
In the eastern part of Gansu Province, there is a mountain called Guanshan. This Guanshan mountain was called Longshan mountain in ancient times and was a necessary place for the ancient Silk Road.
Longshan is not only rich in medicinal materials and timber, but also because of its rich forest resources and excellent ecological environment, it is inhabited by a variety of rare birds and animals. A long time ago, Guanshan was rich in a kind of parrot, beautiful in form, intelligent and good at learning, and the Huating people in the eastern foothills of Guanshan called this parrot brother. The "Yongshengluo" records: "Longshan Mountain is tall and long, prolific parrots, also known as Parrot Mountain. "After people discovered the beauty and strangeness of the parrot, this group of elves in the world began to have the unfortunate fate of being captured and toyed with.
During the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, someone captured a parrot from Guanshan and offered it to the empress. The parrot was covered in snow, and the Empress gave her the name Snowcoat as a sign of grace. What amazed Wu Zetian the most about this snowsuit was that it was able to recite the 260-word Buddhist classic "Heart Sutra" from beginning to end, and Wu Zetian, who believed in Buddhism, thought that she and this parrot must have some kind of deep relationship in the underworld, so they cherished it even more, and specially created a golden silk birdcage to raise snowcoats.
After a day of dispersal, Wu Zetian stopped by to see Xueyi, and suddenly said to the white parrot on a whim: "Snowcoat, if you can make a slang to seek liberation, I will give you a gift to return to the mountains and forests." This was originally a joke of Wu Zetiandu's little bird, and after listening to it, the snowcoat jumped in the golden wire cage, and the joy was abnormal. After a moment, he said, "Haggard Autumn Plume is like a bald man, don't come to longshu when he is old." If the cage is opened, the snow-clad woman is often chanted Nan Wu Guan Shi Yin. Wu Zetian was shocked and overjoyed after hearing this. However, a generation of emperors, with no words, could only order people to open the golden wire cage on the spot and release the snowsuit in the complicated mood of both joy and pity.
Later, some people speculated that the person who originally entered the white parrot may have figured out Wu Zetian's hobby, and had already made sufficient efforts before the parrot entered the palace, teaching the parrot to memorize the Heart Sutra. Parrots are intelligent by nature, and the learners are well-intentioned, and there is no wonder. But the parrot was later named "Snowsuit" and seemed difficult to anticipate for the learner. As for the later immediate writing of poems, expressing homesickness to the empress, and having put his own name into the verses, I am afraid that the learner will never be able to predict.
The Longshan parrot has since become famous, and the number of arresters has been increasing day by day. For a kind of mountain elf who originally enjoyed swimming in the mountains and forests, this was almost a long-lasting catastrophe. In order to capture parrots and seek profits and wealth from parrots, people take turns to fight with swords and shadows, conspiracies and conspiracies, and various scenes of tragedy and joy, killing and strife are repeatedly staged.
Time passed down the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng once raised hundreds of Longshan parrots, playing and watching every day. One day, the hundreds of parrots were suddenly restless and chirping. Song Zhenzong guessed that the birds should be homesick, so he was kind and ordered all the people to open the cage and release them. A few years later, when an emissary of the imperial court passed by Longshan, several parrots surrounded the emissary and asked the emissary to greet Song Zhenzong on his behalf, and the emissary replied that Emperor Zhenzong of Song had already died and returned to heaven. Upon hearing this news, in the blink of an eye, the Longshan parrots roared in unison, and for several moments they rested. The sound of the birds turned mournful, and the messenger and his party also wept.
The famous Tang Dynasty poet Pi Rixiu once wrote a poem entitled "Mourning Longmin": "Longshan Is ten million, and the parrot nests at its peak." Poor and dangerous, its mountains are still incomplete. The people of the dragon are as suspenseful as ascending to the heavens. The nest is in the air, and the fallen are in contention. Not one hundred birds, nine out of ten, died. ...... Now this long people belong, and every year cries ripples. "Danger and death have never stopped people's vigorous desires, and this crazy and protracted arrest has brought endless troubles to the local people, and also made the treasure of the Longshan parrot disappear hundreds of years ago."
