Travel to Huangshan Mountain
Author: Yuan Mei (Qing Dynasty)
On April 2, I traveled to Baiyuebi and took a bath in Huangshan Tangquan. Under the cliff, spring water is sweet and bitter. Spend the night in the second lane.
The next morning, the monk told him: "From now on, the mountain road is dangerous, even if you are locked in a cage, you can't stand it." It's good to walk on the highway, but fortunately, some locals are used to being guests. The number is Haima, which can be used. " Take five or six strong men and count your hands.
I laugh at myself, but I am a baby again. At first, I was hesitant and strong, but when I was exhausted, I was tied behind my back. So step by step and negative half. At Yunchao, the road was dead, and we climbed the wooden ladder. Feng Wan stabbed the sky, but Ji Ji had fallen to the bottom of the pot. I stayed in Wen Shu Hospital at night.
It's rainy and freezing, and the Dragon Boat Festival is still covered with thick fur and fire. The cloud entered the possession, and there was chaos in an instant. The two sat opposite each other and distinguished their voices. After dispersion, Gu Song was born in the east, his body was in the west and his head was in the south, penetrating the stone and breaking it.
Stone seems to be alive and hollow, so it can be hidden inside and integrated with it. It seems to be afraid of the sky and afraid to grow up. It is ten feet big, not two feet high. He is too much to remember. In the evening, the clouds are clearer and the peaks are like children and grandchildren. Huangshan is known as the former sea and the later sea, and the two seas look at each other.
The next day, I turned left from the platform, passed a hundred steps and died. Suddenly I saw a stone like a big fish and opened its mouth. If you have to walk into the fish's mouth, it won't be a day. Climb the Dan Tai, climb the top of the light, and stand tall with the lotus and the sky. The wind shakes people, so it can't stand.
Stay at Shilin Temple as late as possible. Climb to the top before sunset. There are three peaks. Looking at the two peaks from a distance, we can stare, but there is another peak that is invisible and backward. The peak is high and dangerous, facing a bottomless stream, I stand on top of it, my toes are parted. Monks are afraid, pull.
Xiao Yu said, "It doesn't hurt to fall." Q: "Why?" He said: "If the stream has no bottom, then people will have no bottom when they fall. Where can they stay when they are on cloud nine? Even if there is a bottom, it will take a long time to arrive and you can live for a while. " The monk laughed.
The next day, climb the balcony. The peak under the stage is like pens, arrows, bamboo shoots, bamboo forests, halberds, masts and armory battles scattered on the ground by the Emperor of Heaven. After dinner, there was a white practice around the tree. The monk happily told him, "This cloud is also spreading the sea."
At first, the silver was gone, and I was confused for a long time. Green hills are exposed to sharp corners, and there are preserved bamboo shoots in the coagulated fat of large-scale markets. If it is scattered, it will gather together and remain in its original shape. I was sitting on a loose roof, enduring the sun's exposure, and suddenly a cloud rose as a shade. Fang Zhiyun has a high level and is not a family.
At dusk, watching the sunset at Xihaimen, the grass is taller than people, and the road is absolutely impassable. Gather dozens of husbands and subdue the barbarians before they act. The east peak is lined up, the west peak is inserted into the ground, and there are dozens of peaks in the middle, just like a Tiantai Qiongtai.
The red sun will set, and the peak will bear the brunt, as if to swallow and hug. I can't be crowned, and the wind blows me down; Will not socks, soaked by water; Dare not stick, move into soft sand; Dare not look up, for fear that the stone will collapse. Look around, look forward, look forward, I wish I could not dry up and reach every peak.
When the "hippocampus" is negative, it is as swift as an ape, the conflict washes away, and Wanshan is abandoned, which is like a tide. Overlooking the deep peaks, treat each other under your feet. If you make a mistake, you can't bear to think that it is useless to worry about it. If you stop it, you will feel brave. As a last resort, the orphan's life was entrusted, and the party was out.
Huai Nan Zi has the saying that "bravery is the cloud", which is true.
On the ninth day of the first month, I turned down from the back of Tianzhu Peak, crossed the white sand and reached Yungu. My family greeted me with their shoulders. It takes more than 50 miles to walk and 7 days to climb the mountain.
Translation:
On April 2, 48, Qianlong visited Bai Yuefeng, and then bathed in Huangshan Tangquan. Under the cliff, the spring is sweet. Stay at Zhilu Temple at night.
The next morning, the monk told me, "From here on, the mountain road is so narrow and dangerous that even the sliding pole can't hold up." It is too difficult for you to walk alone. Fortunately, some locals are used to tourists, and they are called "Haima". You can hire them. "He brought five or six strong men, each with a few feet of cloth in his hand.
I laughed to myself that the thin old man made the baby into a baby again? I wanted to walk by myself at first, but when I was tired, I tied it behind the hippocampus. In this way, they walked half by themselves and climbed half by themselves. When we reached Yunchao, the road was broken and we had to step on the wooden ladder. I saw Wanfeng crossing the sky, and Ji Xing had fallen into the bottom of the pot. That night, I went to Wenshuyuan and stayed.
It's raining, it's cold, and I have to wear thick leather to keep warm at noon. Caiyun rushed into the room as if to take the house away. After a while, the room was foggy, and they could only hear the voices sitting opposite. After the clouds cleared, they walked to the snow platform. There is a Gu Song on the stage. Its roots grow in the east, its trunk droops to the west and its crown faces south. It penetrates into the rock and grows out of it.
The rock seems to be alive and the middle seems to be empty, so the trunk can be hidden inside and integrated with the rock. It's like being afraid of the weather and afraid to grow up. The trunk is ten cubits thick, but less than two feet high. There are many pine trees like this, and it is impossible to describe them one by one. At night, the clouds are thinner, and the surrounding peaks bow their heads like children and grandchildren visiting their elders. Huangshan is known as qianhai and houhai. From the snow platform to the left and right, you can see both Qianhai and Houhai.
The next day, I turned down from the left side of the snow platform and passed a hundred steps of stairs. The road was new. Suddenly I saw a stone that looked like a big pincer fish, and opened my mouth. I had to go into the fish's mouth and come out from behind the fish. I saw another world. Climb the Dan Tai, climb the top of the light. It confronts two peaks, Lotus and Tiandu, as high as the tripod's three legs. The wind is unbearable. Fortunately, the pine needles on the ground are two feet thick and soft enough to sit on.
Arrive at Shilin Temple for accommodation at night and climb Shixin Peak before sunset. Shixinfeng has three peaks. From a distance, it seems that only two peaks stand opposite each other. A closer look shows that another mountain peak is hidden behind them. The stone peak is high and dangerous, and below it is a bottomless valley. I stood at the peak of Shinshin, with my toes sticking out of the cliff.
The monk was in a hurry and grabbed me with his hand. I smiled and said that it doesn't matter if I fall. The monk asked why? I said, "the valley has no bottom, and people will have no bottom if they fall. Who knows where they will fall?" Even if there is a bottom, it will take a long time to get there, so you can live a little longer. It's a pity that I didn't hang a piece of wrought iron with a long rope to measure its depth. "The monk laughed.
The next day, I climbed onto the balcony, and the peaks under the platform were like pens, arrows, bamboo shoots, bamboo forests, halberds and masts on the ship, and it was like the Emperor of Heaven jokingly scattering weapons from the ordnance factory on the ground. About a meal, like a white silk floating around the tree, the monk happily told me, "this is a cloud that spreads the sea."
At first it was hazy, like melted silver and scattered silk cotton balls. After a long time, it completely condenses. All the green hills show a little sharp angle, like a big plate of white fat with many bamboo shoots standing on it. After a while, the clouds cleared away, and the peaks gathered and stood, all of which were restored to their original appearance. I was sitting on the top of a pine tree, suffering from the intense sun, when suddenly a cloud covered me, only to know that clouds are different and not all the same.
Go to Xihaimen to watch the sunset at night. The grass on the mountain is taller than people, and the road is broken. Call dozens of laborers to cut weeds and then move on. The peaks in the east are arranged like a screen, the peaks in the west rise from the ground, and there are dozens of peaks in the middle, like Qiongdao in Tiantai Mountain.
The red sun is about to set, and there is a mountain peak overhead like holding the sun, like swallowing it, and like holding it up. I can't wear a hat for fear that the wind will blow it away; Can't wear socks, afraid of being wet by water vapor; Dare not lean on crutches, because it is easy to fall into soft sand; Dare not look up, for fear that the rock will collapse and fall. Looking around, looking back around, I can't wait to turn into thousands of bodies and walk to every mountain peak.
"Hippocampus" carried me, agile as an ape, and rushed forward, and Qianfeng also learned to run like a flood. Overlooking the monster peak in the deep valley, wait for your feet. If you slip, the consequences are unimaginable.
However, things have come to this, and it's no use being afraid again. If you let the "hippocampus" walk slowly, it feels too timid. No choice but to hand over his life to them. Wherever he went, he felt that his body was immortal.
Huai Nan Zi has the saying that "courage is the cloud", which is really good.
On the ninth day, I turned down from the back of Tianzhu Peak, crossed the white sand and reached Yungu. My family greeted me with a sedan chair. The * * * meter walked more than fifty miles and entered the mountains for seven days.
