Jiuyang Taishan's daimyo, the earliest is from childhood to hear the myths and legends began. It is said that the universe after the ancestors of Pan Gu died, his eyes into a sun, moon and grease into Jianghai, hair into vegetation, and his head is into a Dongyue Taishan. East is where the sun rises, symbolizing the start of a life; while the first is the most important organs of human body, symbolizing wisdom hair yoke.
Folklore in China, among the Taishan status, yet there are so high! And in my childhood imagination, this tall and towering, mist-shrouded mountains year round, but is full of mysterious and magnificent colors!
Proverb or saying about Taishan in China's literary works among the more abound. The ancients were describing a person's pre-eminent status, calling him "Mount Rushmore"; to describe when a person senseless, derided him as "blinders, not seen Tarzan
"; To describe a person courageous calm, while describing his" Tarzan collapse in the former while the color change. "Praised a man die even makes sense, but also boasted that he died" extremely heavy "! Taishan in Chinese eyes important role is obvious.
Because of this, Taishan's minds I have always been filled with a majestic, awe-inspiring mountains. 1 gives a sense of distance the mountain. A symbol of patriarchal authority of the mountain. In short, is a man mountain. With the majestic old man to describe it,
Should be the most appropriate to bar!
However, for me, a mountain greater fame, I want to conquer it the more intense the desire. Dong Yue Tai So what? Like me, want to tread on the foot of it! Prior to the Taishan, I have followed the usual habits and collect detailed information about the Taishan, such as history, culture, geography, food, customs, climate, attractions introduction, and even climbing Taishan Taishan yuhuang ding circuit diagram and sunrise every day schedule are downloaded from the Internet a! No wonder companions laughed at me, said: "We went to Mount Tai for military spy it?" Maybe in my subconscious, non-so I learned from childhood that is not enough to dispel any sense of awe of Tarzan's Bar!
En route to the Taian, I have been thinking what form should be used to conquer with this symbol of the patriarchal big mountain?
Think of them again and again, I chose the most primitive of the most simple way: climbing. I decided not to sit on the winding mountain road car, do not take the cable car, but with their own feet, to go step by step, so measuring this legendary sacred mountain.
According to my information gathered, August 21 morning sunrise time, it should be at about 5:26. To be able to arrive just in time to watch the sunrise Yuhuangding and I companions decided to start hiking at dusk. Climbing usually takes about 5 hours or so, the evening will certainly be slower, therefore, the time to leave a more adequate. In this way, the one can have enough time to savor the tranquility of Mount Tai, after sunset; 2 to be overnight Zhongtian Gate, after a rest straight yuhuang ding to the Japanese concept of peak to watch the sunrise. As for the Taishan scenery, you can come down when viewing the exposed. One night, almost time to climb mountains, sounds crazy, but my heart was filled with eager joy. Because the Taishan sunrise and landscape description, I have read too much; the Taishan at night, for me, but still full of mystery, like the temptation! I secretly made up his mind and tried to deconstruct the darkness, this layer of fog Taishan.
Taishan is divided into east and west of Hill Road, East on foot by way of climbers in general, from the daimiao, Red Gate, through the Wan Xian floor, Fengyuewubian, Doumu Gong by stone valley, Bo hole hutian Court, back to MA Ling, winding paths, step bridges, 12 even the disc came to Zhongtian Gate, and then step through the cloud bridge, five Songjeong, Zhaoyang Dong, for Songjeong, Shengxian to Nantian Gate Square, and finally take the street straight days yuhuang ding. In fact, the Taishan's cultural landscape is almost all concentrated in the east, west ropeway to see the sights is almost nothing worth mentioning in comparison with the East.
There is no doubt in my mind, and of course, from the Red Gate climbing companions. When you reach the red door around 20:00 or so, the sky has gradually dim down. But the Red Gate is still around the voices, and it buzzes! Not to mention shop in front of light in the darkness, how bright and shiny look, nor say that how the food steaming fragrant, but said that the street on both sides of them the long slide of the stalls, stalls at a variety of tourism, folk items everything. To the Red Gate before we break out the warm store almost cries trip: "climbing shoes! 20 yuan a pair!" "Flashlight! Essential mountaineering flashlight at night!" "Mountain climbing red belt, one dollar one! Climbed Taishan, family safe! "
However, after entering gate, surrounded by everything seemed like a pre-appointment of a sudden silence in the shadowy quiet.
The Taishan, places a silent gesture, appeared in front of us.
I remember Li Bai's "Tarzan Yin," there are a few night view of the Taishan written: "single hold Lu-qin, Night Castle Peak months. Mt moon Lu Bai, Ye Jing break wind in the pines." Tonight, however, situations, and depicted Li Bai , is just totally different! There is no moon in the sky, only sparse How many pieces of stars, as if drunk with a total breeze. In the dim darkness, we could not even look at the foot of the stairs is also clear, through torch light, barely can see the subtle Yamagata. Feel that they are surrounded by a thick black regiment of the fog, and distinguish the road ahead is not clear; look back to track, but it also is no "gray horizontal Cuiwei." Without the usual feeling of climbing, as in sleepwalking down there! However, the way forward, ears have gradually emerged in intermittent Greenfield, and then gurgling sound and water, insect chirp, as if to remind that we are not in the dream!
As the hot weather during the day, people climbing at night, and not exactly small. The mountain is very quiet at night, and occasionally you can hear voices coming from far away, perhaps, occasionally mixed with a Liangsheng barking, it should be the store has raised the mountains. At this point, the entire top of Mount Tai, in addition to visitors a few scattered faint torch light, the necessary number of the brightest lights of the mountain shops. These shops are generally located in the spots next to, so we can follow the light estimate their location. If the whole Tarzan Pangu was a huge compared to the head, but at the moment we see him a UFA, so that a bunch of scattered light as if an inlaid with precious stones, Hosta, this department head UFA groom up!
My companions were first Back to the mountain at night. Therefore, every one attraction, we must face up the curious eyes, eyes with the torch light four fire, excitedly looked at this interweaving of nature and culture, integration of the attractions. Halo in the flashlight, we see Taishan attractions, has been condensed to a seat arch. Torii on the different fonts, or Qiujin rough, or delicate and pretty thin, carved flowers just cold hard rock on the vigor of vigorous, as if a new chisel on the same.
At night, and with a flurry of cool-off burst of mountain wind and the feeling of sleepwalking gradually dispersed. Yang Shou Wang days, the sky was as if frozen in general, extremely quiet; stars Daoshi more up, but the blinking of the stars at the moment seems to have been the cool breeze blowing shiver. At the moment, to the point of view, would feel to climb for a long time, CTV, the door is still distant lights; and look down, the
Already some legs become soft feel, because Yamashita is so dark, as if into a sad life, memories, people can not bear to recall. This time, people will inevitably be some anxious, some frustration, blame the weather is too cold, grudges, backpack too heavy, anxious to sit down and you can no longer move, although the ground and biting cold in fact. We can say that I had the ambition to conquer Mount Taishan, now has lost more than half. Shown on the map is 12 with plate in front, but also to the Zhongtian Gate to go before the most difficult section of. We can no longer neglect because the torch lighting, has become increasingly weak, weak like a dim old godless Yanmou! At this point, I am if I can successfully put out the torch before the full board Zhongtian Gate, has generated deep suspicion; arrive in Japan before sunrise view of peaks, seems to be a luxury in general!
"Remember the Red Army had snow-capped mountains of the story?" Companion to see my impatience, walked next to me whispered asked.
See, I remained silent, as if to himself, he said: "It is said a lot of people sat down, we can no longer stand up in!"
"Why?"
"A lot of reasons. Some are tired, and yield to the temptation sitting comfortable and there is no power up the station; more than that was being frozen, and would like to move also can not move!"
When the thought of just climbing, walk a sweat, there is warmth to the whole body; now come to a stop, but feel that piercing winds. Although they are still in August, but the beginning of autumn after the mountain, after all, is stone cold spring cold. Thought may at any time of the torch extinguished light, and then look back in the dark mountain, as if has become a grinning face, could not tell the ferocious and terror. I can not help I called shiver, I do not know where to come to at the moment strength, then Yi Gulu shells rose from the ground.
Is also strange to say, one to go up, then gradually warm the whole body. Listen Din Din pound, the sound of running water, set the heart gradually. Are often billed at the moment and then to see Tai Shan, the feeling of terror that has gone, and looking at a high precipitous valleys, they started to feel like being like the mother's arms hold Yong Zhao, and my heart very stable, very appropriateness. Because it is at night, but also to see how unclear how high the plate 12 with more than steep, every step I said to myself: "one step further, perhaps to go. Because it is only a small step by step." On the so follow the faint light, I am struggling to climb step by step, full of ears and my companions
"Huchihuchi" in gasp. 1:00 also hallucinate and think that the two legs does not belong to me, but is born like mountain climbing!
Finally, Zhongtian Gate to the.
Climbing at night, almost half of all gathered here, a time of bright eyes as bright as day, you hear the laughter, everyone rushes to talking about the hardships along the way, as well as the plan was followed. It is no exaggeration to say that because of this joyous crowd, the hills at the moment, as one of the big pot boils water, full of sound and heat of boiling!
Zhongtian Gate was initially planned as one to sit down and have a good rest one's, but really to the Zhongtian Gate, the kind of a mixture of joy and look forward to the psychological rather excited restless people. Although the legs like a fossil in general has become rigid and heavy, and I still ruthlessly to command them around town, hoping that some unexpected gains.
Sure enough --
When I went to the east of the cliff, when could not help because of the immediate landscape and held their breath:
Sea of clouds! Around midnight near the sea of clouds!
Because it is milky white clouds, so even in the darkness where you can see very clearly. This Yinyun transpiration forward, rolling forward, gently Yong Zhu night inside the Taishan. What to compare it good? Say it like a harvest season of the cotton fields? One was quite looked like a can of cotton where there is such a lightweight! Say it like a fairy wind Piaowu of Yi Mei? The taste is light out, can be that is the way it happens again concentrated, so to teach people to see through! As if from a distance, watching a Chinese impressionistic landscapes, you can faintly feel it too was full of splashed ink, Earned, and dripping, and it Bianbu Qing which is a dry ink, which is a wet ink, only the be able to guess what it is roughly the outline!
This sea of clouds due to the pro-Wai, Tai Shan is no longer dignified solemn, formidable old man; because of this fog of moisture, it is now more like a mother goddess of the world instrument, mouth laughingly, and looked dignified and gentle.
Standing on a cliff watching the clouds, I, the moment went so far as to forget the body between the fatigue, aching feet; though he was actually by this mountain breeze Rourou way across their faces, held out by this cloud gently at the end, hinder, if mural Flying inside the general, floating up in mid-air into. Looked up, the sky is a sparkling Zhuiman planetesimals, and brighter like a child's Yanmou, twinkling mischievously with.
Trance between the Star felt from the very close, just, uh, relieved that the stars will be damp; another as if riding on the branches of the urchin, as long as a reach out stretched, you can easily Zhai to the top of the tree of fruit-like, to the stars Jiuxia Lai!
I once thought that he was not even there will be no effort to speak, and Shuiliao think at this point that I could be splashed with the mountains and the trees along with lively arm raised toward the sky, cheered loudly for the good fortune that nature and magic!
A result of these clouds, an ordinary stone bridge was originally to become a "cloud Step Bridge"; while an ordinary stone originally, because Xingzhuang Si sword, it becomes a "chopped cloud sword." Are these names from the ancients, also under the stars at the Millennium before climbing over, under, or Long Yuet Taishan? Also in the dark listening to the sound of roaring waterfalls, gurgling streams sound? Also in the starlight, or moonlight, where the hillside watching the body placed at an angle and looked down the "look who loose"?
Days from the door all the way up, even though days are still dark, is increasingly a steep mountain, and I was no longer a lazy mood. Hungry, from the store, where to buy a Tarzan Cuisines onion pancake roll bites; thirsty, drink a bottle of spring water is now filling in Taishan, or eat a water Lingling, fresh crisp cucumber Health. Cold spring water and cucumbers are cold, but also refreshing ah! Imposing and vigorous figure the wind, yet has completed Qichuanruniu slow as 18, up from Shengxian Square, followed by a slow walk is more difficult for a 18. Night, the dimly visible step is so narrow it can only be put aside half a leg; that mountain is so steep, almost straight up the sky! Of course, to the point of view, such as "hole glimpse of Heaven" is like a dizzy, heart health timid;
Looking back even more boggling "boom," to look ripped, the immediate humming, while the back legs become soft wind, cold sweat, just can not imagine that they will be in the dark since the narrow ladder to climb up to the !
Companion and I did not dare to loud talking and laughing, but will read, "the sacred Mount Taishan, the whole family safe" and a red tie with a line, and then breath-hold with rapt attention, his eyes staring at the halo of flashlight with one hand and a cold iron handrails step by step, silently climbing. Their hearts are really intense fear, because if the foot of a slide, we might have fallen into the abyss of Yongjie no longer! I said to myself secretly chagrin, regret that she has finally opted for a night to board such a dangerous mountain road; but also not distracting, muscle stretched too tightly, his eyes had been staring at a higher level, secretly looking forward to see can be as early as 1:00 to the next light a candle.
This tension lasted for how long? Himself could no longer remember. Only know that before the board Nantian Gate last few stairs heart when I uphold the "pop" jump drastically, legs are shivering, the body due to long hours of strenuous and slightly stiff, the hand holding the entire heart is cold sweat. "Call -" Chang Yu breath, I almost throwing himself Nantian Gate arch on the front. Looking down the narrow steep 18, actually like a wind shaking the ladder in the same. There are subtle under the human voice and vague silhouette,
Zhongtian Gate should be the car to begin climbing people. I pinched a while for them secretly Khan, while lucky that I am, after all, safely arrived in Nantian Gate of the!
More light than the White Hart marched in pace, in the top of the mountain patrol everywhere, "Overview of the small hills," as proud as a Queen!
Dawn, the mountains are getting clear. Taishan happy and I looked at each other right, I see more charming Castle Peak, Castle Peak is expected to see me as a case of! Mountainside Although there is still a thick layer of clouds shrouded the mountains between the green pine trees were fresh, the Peak ancient Taoist architecture, is the same as presented in front of the plot. In my eyes, the morning clouds steamed-xia Wei Taishan is no longer a symbol of male-mountain, but more than a charming Xiongqi, gentle daughter of more than a serious mountain.
Is such a thought, suddenly saw Taishan Bixia Yuanjun ancestral goddess!
There are also guardian goddess of Taishan?
My eyes opened wide in surprise, and makes reading the text on the stone: the original, Oriental Height gods that is, Taishan Mountain Spirit Dongyuetaidi's daughter, affectionately known as "Tarzan the empress." The breeding of all things folk that she also called her "sons empress." No wonder the pine trees around the shrine, the closely-packed closely round colored red cloth, Child-giving must be good men and good women of the wraps!
Looking at Mount Tai goddess kind face, I can not help but start reveries: say Day is yang and night is yin, then I climb all the way, should be in her power under the umbrella of it? Such a thought, my mouth can not help but reveal a knowing smile.
"What are you laughing? Is not happy himself has finally conquered the Taishan?" Companion asked with a trace of curiosity.
"Conquer? Climbed Taishan will be able to call to conquer? Is an ant climbing an elephant's back can be said that he conquered the elephant?" I said as he shook his head, "Now, the only thing I want to do, is kneeling on the Peak, thank goddess of Taishan allow us to safely arrived here! "
