He Huan led them forward and said, "Sea cauliflower, you may not have seen it before. It is a plant unique to our country and a water flower in the South.
The flowers are bright and beautiful, and the whole plant grows at the bottom of the water, with only the flowers exposed floating on the water surface for easy pollination.
Sea cauliflower is also an indicator of water quality. It must grow in clear and transparent water and never mix with pollution. It is called the spirit of purity!
Before, when our plateau pearl was as bright as a tear, it was covered with sea cauliflower. In Yunzhou's nine plateau lakes, twenty years ago, sea cauliflower could be seen everywhere.
It is a dish on the table of the people of Yunzhou, and it is also a musical elf that inspires ethnic minorities.
Young men and women were boating on the river and saw the beautiful sea cauliflower. They were so moved that their hearts moved and opened their mouths. They sang folk songs and antiphons, giving birth to the Yi people's sea cauliflower tune, which is as meandering and light as sea cauliflower. Now it has become a cultural heritage.
Due to environmental pollution, sea cauliflower has become an endangered plant. I hope that with the control, we can see sea cauliflower again in the future."
Everyone nodded. They didn't expect that a flower has so many stories.
He Huan stopped and stood on the side of the road looking at the vast cloud pool from the forest, "Some places call it watery flower. Later, people may have realized that this name was too frivolous and not worthy of her purity and nobility.
called.
Think back to the 1970s and 1980s, when the seaweed flowers were in bloom, with clear water and blue sky, white flowers and yellow pistils, and fairy spirit floating in the air, rippling with the waves, like a fairy on the waves."
He Huan looked yearning, and everyone was yearning for it. I really hope that Yunchi, the pearl of the plateau, and the tears of Sleeping Beauty, will clear up soon, so that we can see the flowers blooming on the water again, and the beautiful scenery of boating and singing songs!
Everyone followed him and continued to move forward. A good tour guide can always make people see the scenery in front of them and imagine the scenery they have not seen, which together form a beautiful journey memory.
"The famous mountains in our country are either Taoist temples or temples. Sleeping Beauty has long been occupied by Taoist monks. When you generation after generation bought those hundreds of square meters of dwellings in the city, these monks have long known that the world is huge, and the monks are the biggest."
"Hahaha……"
"And your house prices are getting more and more expensive, and they still charge admission fees."
The tourists laughed.
"If Sleeping Beauty is divided according to Buddhism and Taoism, in front is a Taoist temple with nine floors and eleven pavilions. It is built along the cliff and stands suspended in the air, occupying a dangerous place. The temple is behind us, on the flat side of the mountain, occupying a quiet place."
"Why do you say before and after?" a young man asked.
"I just like to talk about before and after, can't I?" He Huan looked at him.
"Okay!" the tourists laughed.
"The front, rear, left, and right are based on people, and the south, east, and west are based on the sun. Although the sun is bright and great, you are my center at this moment."
The tourists laughed happily, as bright as the sun.
He Huan also smiled, turned around and walked forward, "These levels of Taoist temples are collectively called Sanqing Pavilion. At first, this was not a Taoist temple, but the summer palace of the Liang King in the Yuan Dynasty.
After Yuan dominated the world, wasn't it related to Taoism? The Quanzhen sect was supported. After Taoism flourished, this place later became a Taoist temple."
Floor after floor, pavilion after pavilion, He Huan explained the history and culture of Taoism, and the tourists were fascinated by it.
He Huan is different from other tour guides they have experienced. When other tour guides explain Taoist temples, they just talk about the gods inside and what benefits they can bring to people. Then they ask tourists to worship them, which is very simple.
He Huan connects Taoism with history, allowing visitors to clearly understand how Taoism developed.
Moreover, many Taoist gods are deified by humans. He even told anecdotes about the lives of the gods, making everyone feel that the gods are so close to them and that religion is not a castle in the air.
Looking back at the sea view, the red dust is billowing, and the pride of the fairy family arises spontaneously.
After seeing the Sanqing Pavilion, He Huan took them to continue going up, "Sanqing Pavilion occupies all the dangerous places, and Longmen is the most dangerous place! Sanqing Pavilion is built on the cliff, and Longmen is a Taoist grotto dug out of the cliff.
, also belongs to this system.”
Walking on the narrow road on the cliff, He Huan said: "You are so lucky today! Everyone has gone to Wenwen Township, and you have the Holy Land of the Immortal Family all to yourself! Usually this place is crowded with people."
Sui He Huan looked at the exquisite grotto statues, and everyone looked at the Yunchi on the cliff. They were full of emotion, "I really came at the right time today! I have to thank Director Lu when I go back!"
"Don't thank me?" He Huan looked at them.
Gu Zhu
The tourists smiled and swarmed with arms outstretched to hug him.
He Huan backed away, "Don't make trouble, hugging and hugging here really makes you become an immortal! Respect the immortals behind you, you are not afraid of them thinking about mortals, right?"
"Hahaha……"
There were few tourists, so He Huan asked them to go over in pairs and take pictures of them.
Finally, the single young man ran over and said, "Give me one too!"
"Forget it!" He Huan put down the camera, "You don't need to take photos as a souvenir. You can just stay here. You don't have a girlfriend anyway."
The tourists laughed.
"You're not worthy of taking pictures alone, right?" The young man pulled him to his side. "I don't have a girlfriend, and you don't have a girlfriend either. Let's make a couple!" He said and put his arms around his shoulders.
A group of tourists laughed and took pictures of the two of them.
After jumping over the dragon gate, He Huan took them to Lingxu Pavilion.
"This is the highest point of Sleeping Beauty and the best viewing point."
Everyone stood on the steep pavilion on the top of the mountain, enjoying the mountain breeze, vast expanse of blue waves, and the entire city spread out in front of them. It is no longer enough to describe it in words.
He Huan stopped talking, walked to the side, picked up the camera and took pictures of them.
The tourists felt refreshed and did not want to leave. He Huan said: "If you have the chance, you should come at night. The sleeping beauty embraces the moon in the clouds and the pool, and the moon in the forest shines brightly in the water. It is a unique experience!"
"Wow!" Everyone didn't want to leave anymore.
He Huan said with a smile: "Let's go down now. If we don't visit the Immortal Cave and the Buddhist Holy Land, it would seem to favor one over the other."
The tourists followed him down to the ropeway station with smiles.
He Huan said: "You didn't go to Stone City today, but there is also a small Stone City."
"Ah!" Everyone became excited.
"In the past, you could walk freely in Little Rock City. There were no roads, but they were all small rocks, and people would jump on them. Later, considering the danger, this area was circled.
There is also a trail below, and you can walk back to the gate of the scenic spot, but it takes more time. So we will take a look from the air. You must not look at each other and forget to look down."
Everyone laughed and said: "Okay!"
Riding on the cable car and flying over Little Rock, tourists screamed all the way.
Back at the door, He Huan said: "We will go to Huating Temple and Taihua Temple next. There is no admission fee, but it is worth seeing."
The scenic area is large and the scenic spots are scattered. It is a bit far to walk there. Everyone takes a battery car there, and the battery car charge is not expensive.
The road became much smoother, and soon a temple with red walls and yellow tiles appeared among the green forest.
He Huan took the tourists out of the car and said, "The Taoist gate opens outward for release and freedom, while the Buddhist gate opens inwards for hiding and content. It's also very interesting to see their site selection."
Everyone nodded and walked past the cliffs and flying pavilions on the cliffs. Suddenly, in the middle of the mountain, there appeared such an open flat land and a bright and solemn temple. It felt very different.
The temple is integrated with the mountains behind, the forest surrounding it, and the water in front.
Under the blue sky in autumn, it is beautiful and quiet.
"Look at the couplets on the gate - surrounded by thousands of trees, green pines and bamboos; when you go out and smile, the sea and the sky are vast. It expresses the topography of Huating Temple and the mind of Buddhism."
Everyone nodded and followed He Huan into this beautiful temple.
"Huating Temple, formerly known as Da Yuanjue Temple, was built in the Yuan Dynasty..." He Huan talked about the architectural history of this temple and the eminent monks it served.
