Mount Wudang in the South and baiyun temple in the North
2021-11-18
I went to Wudang in April this year. It took a lot of effort to climb the mountain on foot. The ancients said that the wonders, wonders and extraordinary views of the world often lie in the danger and distance, and people are very rare, so they can't go unless they have a will. I really hesitated at the crossroads at the foot of the mountain. On one side was the path up the mountain and on the other side was the cable car. Finally, I decided to choose the path. You can reach the top of the mountain in more than ten minutes by cable car, but fast consumption is not advocated for the fun of travel. Wudang is hidden in a famous mountain and built on the top of the mountain. Its devotion and hard work can only be realized when walking slowly and watching while walking. Our predecessors worked hard to find their way in the wild mountains, carry livestock on their shoulders, and pull heavy building materials to the mountains. Today, people are happy, walking on the road paved with bluestone slabs, neat and smooth, and there is no danger of safety. Even so, walking up and down the endless mountain road, I was still sweating and sighing. I have to encourage myself to exercise and practice. After adjusting your mind, you will feel worthwhile when you finally see Jinding. In fact, the temple on Wudang Mountain is not the most precipitous in the mountains, but as a royal temple, it is known as "the Forbidden City hanging on the cliffs". It is the best in the world for its high construction regulation, large scale and fine skills. All buildings here are built according to the mountain and the principle of the unity of heaven and man. Most monasteries in the world follow suit, but most of them learn from it. They really can't compare with it. In August this year, I came to Jiaxian County, Yulin, Shaanxi Province. Going north along the Yellow River, I saw many monasteries built on the hills. I thought that the baiyun temple I was going to next might be similar to that on Wudang Mountain. But when we really walk on the Shinto of baiyun temple, we feel its majesty that can not be underestimated. It grows from the loess land, is the crystallization of the efforts of the children of the Yellow River, and is the most complete Taoist architectural community in Northwest China. Gasping for breath, he climbed up from the Baiyun cave to the theater and found that it was a pure land outside the sky. In the narrow space on the top of the mountain, it is really difficult for the ancients to control the relevant buildings of Taoism. Baiyun Mountain overlooks the open yellow river and loess land. Two months later, I came to Yulin Jiaxian by chance. When I came out of the airport, I chatted while watching and respected the desertification control achievements of Yulin people. After going deep into the countryside, I was more surprised to find that the sandy land can grow not only crops and grass, but also vegetables and fruits. The carrots and potatoes have now become popular. However, the popular goods also have to rely on the people to carry out from the narrow gully. The hard work in the deep gullies, the roar of machines in the wild mountains and thousands of vehicles are reminding people that happiness is always a struggle. In the past, people were trapped in a region, digging in the sand and living a hard life for generations. Today people are lucky to catch up with the good times. Many villages and towns in the six northern counties of Yulin have set up happiness homes to provide almost free support for the elderly aged 60 or 70 in the village. They have no worries about food and drink, well-being, medical security and spiritual care. Holding the hands of the old people who used to work, I felt a lot of emotion. Once again, when I ascended the baiyun temple, I lost the contrast between you in the South and me in the north and between you and me. In fact, there are no gods on Wudang Mountain and no immortals in baiyun temple. People should not only look up at the sky, but also work hard. In addition to daily production and life, it is also a blessing that there are "pure land outside the sky" such as Wudang Mountain and baiyun temple, which provide people with quiet opportunities and places to think.
