Chapter 120 The dispute over the place where Li Bai sleepwalked
"At the foot of Tianmu Mountain, there is the Taoist temple of Doumu Yuanjun, which is also one of the proofs that Tianmu is Doumu Yuanjun. Doumu Yuanjun is an innate deity of Taoism. In the Xingdou Department of Taoist gods, he is one of the most important
Mother of the Stars. When Taoism holds ceremonies such as Star Sacrifice and Jiao Ke, she must be sacrificed first. Shall we ask the Taoist priest in the temple?" Zhu Jinze looked around, but saw that there was no permanent Taoist priest in the Taoist temple, and it was almost dilapidated.
After sighing with emotion, I drove to the entrance of Shenxianju. One advantage of working at the cultural station is that because I am responsible for publicity, I can enter the scenic spot free of charge with my work permit. Qianqianyi哾
The two of them have been to Shenxianju Scenic Area several times, and they are very familiar with every mountain and scenery in the scenic area, but every time they come to the scenic area, they have a different feeling. In winter, it is the dry season, and under the Feitian Waterfall, a line of flying
The stream drips from the cliff more than 100 meters high, intermittently.
His child asked: "Uncle, what kind of waterfall is this? The water flow is so small."
Jin Huabin pointed to the top of the mountain and said: "This is called the gods peeing."
When the child heard what he said, he seemed to be afraid that his clothes would get wet with urine, and said with disgust: "This god is really uncivilized and urinates everywhere." It made everyone laugh.,
Zhu Jinze pointed to the Dongtianwen formed by the towering stone wall in front and said to Jin Huabin: "Various modern materials all describe the Tianmu Mountain wonderland described in Li Bai's "Sleepwalking in Tianmu Yin Liu Farewell" as Tianmu Mountain in Xinchang. I
I was skeptical, because the scenery index of Xinchang Tianmu Mountain was too average, and it was unlikely to be the place where Li Bai sleepwalked. Five or six years ago, by chance, I learned that the ancient name of Xianju Weiqiang Mountain was Tianmu Mountain, and I guessed
Li Bai dreamed about the mountains and rivers in the area around Dashenxianju, which was named Tianmu Mountain in ancient times and is now called Weiqiang Mountain. It is also where we are playing now. At the cultural station, I checked the Xianju County Chronicles and Linhai County Chronicles and made research results.
, the Tianmu in Li Bai's poem is most likely the Weiqiang Mountain (ancient name Tianmu Mountain) where immortals live.
Jin Huabin also felt the same way about this. He came here this time to find the legend of Tianmu. So he said: "Brother Zhu is very knowledgeable. Can you tell me?"
When he heard this, he seemed to have met a close friend and said: "I have compared the differences between Xinchang and Xianju Tianmu Mountain in many aspects.
1. Comparison of names of Tianmu Mountain:
Haike talks about Yingzhou, and it is hard to find a letter in the misty waves. The more people talk about Tianmu, the clouds are bright and dim, or you can see them.
"Xinchang County Chronicle" of Zhejiang Province records: "Tianmu Mountain is located in Fangshan Township, fifteen miles south of the county, with lush and green trees, and the south of the mountain overlooks the land."
Zhejiang's "Xianju County Chronicle" and "Linhai County Chronicle" record: "The center of the vast Weiqiang Mountain is located in Danzhu Township, Xianju County. It is also called Tianmu Mountain and is said to be the residence of the immortal Tianmu." The legend of Tianmu has been famous since ancient times. Xinchang
Both of them are in the hometown of Yue Kingdom. People in Yue say "Tian Mu". When the clouds are bright or clear, they are talking about Tian Mu Mountain in that place. This is one of the contents that need to be verified. Tian Mu Mountain is a famous mountain passed down by the people of Yue.
, Li Bai must have a corresponding reputation in his day,
Tianmu Mountain in Xinchang: "There are many maples on the mountain, so it is called Maple Ridge". It is only more than 700 meters high, so it is not a famous mountain.
Xianju Tianmu Mountain: It is said that it is the residence of the immortal Tianmu. The mountains and rivers of Xianju are full of fairy sights. Kuocang Mountain is also a famous Taoist mountain with a great reputation. Before the Tang Dynasty, the mountains and rivers of Xianju had a high reputation among the literati. The great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty Yan Zhengqing's calligraphy has spread the following record in Ge Hong's "Biography of Immortals": Wang Yuan, courtesy name Fang Ping, was going east to Kuocang Mountain. He passed by Cai Jingjia in Wu, who taught him the secret method of cultivating immortals. After ascending, his body was like a snake and a cicada shedding its skin. In the middle There is a mythical description of Wang Fangping's meeting with Magu, and Xianju Magu Rock commemorates Magu. Dayu's cliff carvings were seen in literature earlier in the Jin Dynasty, and were widely circulated as miracles. It can be seen that the landscape of Xianju in the Tang Dynasty was It was famous among both the government and the public, and of course it was also spread to Li Bai’s ears.”
"To the extreme, to the extreme. In the Jin Dynasty, there was a court official hanging down a rope and rubbing tadpole inscriptions. I checked the date and it was during the period of Xie Lingyun." Jin Huabin followed his opinion and said: "This is one of them, but also There are two, but what about the third?"
"The second one is, of course, the mountains." He pointed to the rock wall in the distance as he walked and said: "The sky is stretching to the sky, and the five mountains are so powerful that it covers Chicheng. According to the Xianju County Chronicle, it is less than twenty miles away from the Shenxianju. , there is a famous mountain named Chicheng Mountain in ancient times. It is named because of the red color of the soil. It is far away from Shenxianju, but not as high as Shenxianju. It is the Danxia landform of Xianju Hengxi Xiangshi Mountain and the Jiguanyan area now. This explanation is more reasonable than the general interpretation of Chicheng as a rooftop. The rooftop is far away from Xinchang and cannot be hidden by Tianmu Mountain in Xinchang.
The rooftop is 48,000 feet high, so I want to fall to the southeast!" Li Bai had a good friend, Taoist Master Sima, who practiced Taoism on the rooftop, so Li Bai was quite familiar with the mountains on the rooftop. Xinchang Tianmu Mountain is not high or steep, just an ordinary hill. , it is still quite far away from Qingjian Mountain in Xianju, and it is impossible for Li Bai to have such an association. The landscape in the area of Xianju Shenxianju is mainly composed of cliffs, which is the second highest peak in the Kuocang Mountains. The remaining veins of Daqinggang are visually high and majestic. Most of the hills are above 1,000 meters above sea level. Both in terms of actual altitude and visual impact, Li Bai would have the impression that Tianmu Mountain is higher than Tiantai Mountain. Image, the ancients did not have measuring tools and relied mainly on visual inspection. The mountains in the Shenxianju area are extremely dangerous and unusual, which would even shock a romantic poet like Li Bai."
While talking, the family had slowly climbed along the mountain road to the halfway point of the mountain. They were already among the white clouds. Looking up, they saw the peaks hanging like a city. Looking down, one peak connected to another. Jin Huabin pointed at the group of people. Feng said: "In the poem written by Grandma Tian, I want to dream of Wu Yue and fly across Jinghu Lake in the moonlight all night. The moonlight in the lake shines on my shadow and sends me to Yanxi River. Xie Gong's residence is still there today, and the Lu River is clear. Ape Cry. One of the biggest bases for deducing that Xinchang Tianmu Mountain is the place where Li Bai went is that Jinghu, Yanxi and other places are near Xinchang Tianmu Mountain. Xie Lingyun once served and was active in Xinchang, Shengxian County. I don’t know about this opinion. What do you think?"
“This is the third geographical location I want to talk about.” It is not surprising that the Tianmu Mountain in Xie Lingyun's pen is Xianju Tianmu Mountain, which is the current name of Weiqiang Mountain in the Shenxianju area and its ancient name is Tianmu Mountain." Zhu Jinze listed the years recorded in the county annals and said: "According to "Wanli" According to the Chronicles of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (405-418), a Tingwei named Zhou once "made a flying ladder and copied it with wax, but did not understand its meaning." Xie Lingyun (385-433), two The time coincides with each other, so he is not ignorant."
