After coming out of Huating Temple, He Huan said: "There's no point in taking a car all the time. Let's walk the Taihua Ancient Road when we get back. Can you walk?"
"You can walk!" everyone replied loudly and energetically.
"Well, if you can't walk, let someone carry it. It's a shame not to use free legs."
The girls laughed and looked at their boyfriends maliciously. The men looked at He Huan speechlessly.
Taihua Ancient Road is not as narrow and steep as Sanqing Pavilion and Longmen. Everyone followed He Huan and listened to his explanation without feeling tired.
"This Taihua Ancient Road was also built in the Yuan Dynasty. Why do many historical sites in Yunzhou date from the Yuan Dynasty? Because before Kublai Khan conquered Yunzhou, Yunzhou was relatively closed.
Yunzhou also established a country called the Dian Kingdom during the Warring States Period two thousand years ago. It later belonged to the Han Dynasty. But this ancient Dian Kingdom has now become a secret history.
What may be left to us is the mass grave site discovered in 2006 and the unearthed bronzes, which show the glory and suffering of the ancient Dian Kingdom."
Everyone nodded with emotion.
"Yunzhou was truly included in the territory of the Central Plains rulers in the Yuan Dynasty. Before that, it was in the form of a vassal state. So it retained a lot of indigenous people.
Coupled with the many northern ethnic groups that migrated from the Yuan Dynasty and the chieftain system implemented by the rulers, today's situation of numerous ethnic groups has been formed.
Many recorded histories and cultures date from the Yuan Dynasty. Taihua Temple was originally called Foyan Temple. Like the Sanqing Pavilion just now, it was also built by the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty and was later regarded as a family temple by Muying, King of Guizhou Ning.
The central government strengthened its rule over Yunzhou. From the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the Mu family hereditary guarded Yunzhou for two hundred years. In the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui guarded Yunzhou. With these strong men, the history of Yunzhou was integrated into this big family, with ups and downs.
.”
He Huan then centered around Taihua Temple and told the history of Yunzhou from the time when Mu Ying guarded Yunzhou to when Emperor Jianwen took refuge in the monk residence of Taihua Temple.
Everyone's mood was ups and downs when they heard it, and they arrived at Taihua Temple before they knew it.
He Huan stroked the railing in front of the temple, "Do you think this marble railing is exquisite?"
Everyone touched the carved marble railings.
"I don't know if it's beautiful or not." A tourist said, "You say it's beautiful, it's beautiful!"
The tourists laughed and looked at this knowledgeable tour guide.
He Huan said with a smile: "Now I can call a deer a horse!"
Amid everyone's laughter, he patted the railing and said, "This is after the Wu Sangui rebellion was put down, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou demolished the Pingxi Palace in Wuhua Mountain and brought the building materials from the Pingxi Palace here to rebuild the Taihua Temple.
Because Taihua Temple was destroyed in that war. This is called tearing down the east wall to repair the west wall, or repaying retaliation. The cycle of cause and effect is very consistent with Buddhist teachings."
"Hahaha..." When they arrived at the Buddhist Holy Land, everyone covered their mouths again.
Follow He Huan inside to pay homage to this thousand-year-old temple.
A tourist said: "To be honest, I have been to Sleeping Beauty Mountain before, and my impression was that there is a mountain to the west and a temple on the mountain. I just met Sleeping Beauty today! Only then did I realize the rich connotations of this mountain!"
Everyone nodded, and He Huan also smiled. Traveling is like this, what you see and what you feel are largely related to the people traveling with you.
Generally, a tour guide will give a brief introduction to a scenic spot. Along the way, He Huan sorted out the history of Yunzhou around Taihua Temple.
Come out of Taihua Temple and take the battery car back to the visitor center.
He Huan led them towards the opposite side of the visitor center. There was a statue standing among the green pines and cypresses and the flower bed.
"This is the tomb of Nie Er, the people's musician. Nie Er was born in Chuncheng, studied in Japan at the age of 24, and drowned on the coast of Fujisawa City while swimming.
Zhang Tianxu, who was also known as the second scholar of Yunzhou with him, was also his good friend. He went to the island country to bring the ashes back and buried them in the waist of the beauty he loved most during his lifetime."
While talking about Nie Er's life, everyone followed him up to pay homage to the musician.
"The cemetery was built in the shape of a yueqin. The seven flower stands symbolize the seven musical scales. The twenty-four steps symbolize his twenty-four years in the world.
There are rows of green pines and cypresses, and Nie Er rests here. When the national anthem of the Republic is played, the strings of the piano must also be played under the Nine Springs."
The tourists couldn't help but burst into tears.
Walking to the tomb, He Huan said: "May the country never change and the national anthem be accompanied by this musical talent forever!"
Everyone stood in silence in front of the tombstone, with tears in their eyes. The March of the Uprising Warriors seemed to be echoing in their minds, and their hearts were surging.
"Twenty-four years old!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh, regret, and feel distressed! Such a talented man died young!
He Huan led them down the stage, "What are you doing at the age of twenty-four?"
"I'm climbing Sleeping Beauty Mountain with my girlfriend!" A young man held his girlfriend's hand, "What about you?"
"It's heartbreaking, right? I'm twenty-two! I believe I will have a girlfriend when I'm twenty-four! Huh!"
Gu Long
"Hahaha……"
"Okay, okay!" It turned the sad atmosphere around so unexpectedly!
Everyone looks at him, he is twenty-two years old!
"Xiao Bailong, you are still a talented person at the age of twenty-two!" said a tourist.
Everyone nodded.
He Huan smiled and felt embarrassed.
"Xiao Bailong, you don't want to have a girlfriend, right? Stone City, Yuanyang Valley, why are you so carefree?"
"Hahaha……"
"I'm a philanderer!" He Huan said angrily, "That's why you said I'm a philanderer, so I ran to this mountain, which is both a temple and a Taoist temple, to prove my innocence. I'm telling you, don't irritate me. I'm afraid you'll bear it if I irritate you later.
I'm sorry."
I still don’t believe it! Tourists strongly demanded: “You can stimulate it!”
"Do you really want to listen?" He Huan looked at them, "Then don't blame me if it comes true."
"Say!" Everyone was really curious!
"Do you know why there are so few people going up the mountain today?"
"Why?" Everyone was getting more and more trembling.
"This Sleeping Beauty Mountain is said to be Breakup Mountain!"
"Why?" the lovers exploded!
"I don't know. Anyway, there is a folk legend that many couples who climb mountains together break up."
"Ah?" Everyone looked at each other.
"I think it may be that Sleeping Beauty can't even see my dear. You stimulate her every day and she is unhappy."
"ah?"
"Hold your boyfriends and girlfriends tight! Use your true love to break this curse!"
"Hahaha..." A group of people began to hug each other openly.
He Huan opened his arms to the single young man, "Come on, let's comfort each other."
Everyone laughed, and the young man immediately ran over to hug him with a smile on his face.
Lu Kuan saw them walking towards each other, hugging each other, "Tsk, tsk, tsk! It seems I'm redundant!"
The tourists laughed.
He Huan also smiled and walked forward, "Thank you all for following me on my tour of Sleeping Beauty! I hope you all have a smooth journey and this love will last forever!"
Everyone looked at the boyfriend and girlfriend around them, and then at him, with tears in their eyes.
"Ah! Xiao Bailong, aren't you going to play with us?" The single young man looked at each other and looked at He Huan.
He Huan was stunned, "It's noon, you should go eat!"
You know how to eat in just one day! The team leader inside all laughed!
"Let's go eat together!" the tourists enthusiastically invited.
Lu Kuan finally stood up, walked to He Huan, put his arm around his shoulders, "Let's eat first, and you can also take us to the ethnic garden in the afternoon!"
"Okay!" The tourists raised their hands and jumped with joy.
He Huan turned to look at Lu Kuan.
"I'll give you the tour guide fee." Lu Kuan added.
"We give!" the tourists shouted.
The group leader and tour guide inside were extremely envious.
After all, he is from Sleeping Beauty. He Huan walked in, but before he could speak, the team leader said: "I heard you, go ahead. It's just a national park..."
"Humph!" He Huan said, "I'm not afraid of them!"
The group leader and tour guides all laughed. Yes! Little White Dragon! Are you still afraid of going to the Nationalities Park?
