Chapter 8 Shaanxi·Toast to Invite the Bright Moon
Huashan
Shaanxi, a place that hides too many dusty ancient things, not only witnesses the rotation of talents from generation to generation, but also guards the lifeline of the ancient capital, making Chang'an's charm last forever.Here, what makes people sigh is not only the hardships and dangers when climbing Huashan Mountain, but also the reappearance of the prosperous age of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Ancient city towers and blossoming mountain pills bloom uniquely in the fleeting time.

Huashan is one of the Five Sacred Mountains in China, and it is also called "the most dangerous mountain in the world".

It seems that the majestic Huashan is destined to be in the same line as Taoism, or that Huashan and Taoism are created by heaven and earth.In people's imagination, they are like immortals who have attained the Tao, with the attitude of "the Tao is the Tao, the very Tao", showing tranquility and open-mindedness in the hustle and bustle of the world.

Huashan Mountain is steep and steep, with thousands of torso and tall peaks. It is famous in the world for its steepness. Since ancient times, there have been sayings that "Huashan Mountain is the most dangerous mountain in the world" and "the most dangerous mountain in the world".

There are five peaks in Huashan, Chaoyang, Luoyan, Lianhua, Wuyun, and Yunv. However, if you want to climb Huashan, there is only one way to climb the pillar peak to the north.There are steep cliffs on the southeast and west sides, which is daunting.Dongfeng Chaoyang Peak is 2096.2 meters above sea level. It is one of the main peaks of Mount Hua. Because it faces east, it has become a famous place to watch the sunrise.On the top of the peak, there is a platform, which is called "Chao Balcony".

According to legend, the origin of Luoyan Peak in Nanfeng is that returning wild geese often rest here.The peak is the very top of Mount Hua.Looking around from the top of the peak, the field of vision suddenly feels vast.On the flat peak of more than 10 square meters, there is a Tianchi with a diameter of about 1 meter.In the middle of the big rock, there is a dark green pine and cypress with strong roots. Mount Hua is indeed magical, even the plants on the mountain also show magical characteristics.

Xifeng Lianhua Peak is named for its shape like a lotus flower. A huge rock on the side of the peak is broken into three pieces. The space under the stone is like the imprint left by a woman lying on her back.This is the source of the legendary story of Chen Xiang splitting the mountain to save his mother.

To climb Mount Hua, what is needed is to hold your breath and concentrate. At such a moment, the heart is only thinking about one thing.The stone steps couldn't accommodate one foot, and he adjusted his posture and moved forward obliquely. His forehead was hot, and it seemed that beads of sweat were coming out.

Because of its steepness, Huashan makes people have a deep memory of watching the beautiful scenery while walking cautiously.Just like the practice of Taoism, it transforms through tempering and struggles through hardships.Sitting on the top of Huashan Mountain, just like this, wash away the glitz of the world, and suddenly enter another peaceful world.

There is a Yuquan Temple in Huashan, which was built in the reign of Emperor Shenzong of Song Dynasty. It is a famous Quanzhen Taoist temple in northern China. For more than 2000 years, many celebrities have gathered here to give lectures and practice.In Yuquan courtyard, the inscriptions of Feng Yuxiang in modern times are also listed.

City of Xi'an
"Xi'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times", this sentence cannot tolerate the slightest doubt.Maybe everyone can't read it, and maybe those who read it still think it's superficial. It has been spreading from ancient times to the present. The quaint city and the breath of life are always regal, always the most primitive color of life, pure And publicity, vigorous and high.

There are talents from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.In the face of changes in the world, Xi'an will always show a sense of relief.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang set his capital in Guanzhong, which meant long-term peace and stability, so it was named "Chang'an".In the second year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government changed the title to Xi'an Prefecture, taking the meaning of "stabilizing the northwest", so it was renamed "Xi'an".Its long, far more than that.In the 11 years from the 10th century BC to the 1100th century AD, 13 dynasties changed here.Along with Athens, Rome and Cairo, it is an irreplaceable ancient capital.

The ignorant blame it for its present-day decay.The rough texture and mottled pattern of the city wall are like a kind of darkness that penetrates deep into the skin, like an old man who has reached his twilight years. The age spots on his face are clearly visible and can never be wiped off.However, through its eyes, you will see a touch of baby-like moisture in the deep eyes.That wetness is its juvenile time, and that wetness will reflect the glory of history again at any time.

In the ancient city of Loulan, there is only a place of wind and sand left today; in the ancient capital of Anyang, there is only an abandoned city left today.Xi'an is older than them. It has experienced wars and disasters, but it has overcome obstacles all the way and has become a legend of immortality.The Silk Road started from here, and Tang Seng started from here to learn Buddhist scriptures.Three thousand bamboo slips cannot write down the ancient Xi'an.Walking in today's Xi'an, the charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties can be clearly seen.The water of the moat is still green, and the walls of the bell tower are still tall and straight.

"Huayue celestial palms, evening photos of Lishan Mountain; wind and snow in Baliu River, drinking water in Qujiang; morning bell in Yanta, ancient ferry in Xianyang; smoke in thatched cottage, snow in Taibai." In the forest of steles in Xi'an, the Qing Dynasty stele recorded in detail the following The Eight Views of Guanzhong with Xi'an as the center.However, how can the strength and charm of the age-old, millennium-old cypresses be described clearly in just a few words?Looking up, is the fiery red sunset the one from Han Dynasty?

Even today, Xi'an is still favored by those who understand it.Walking down the Drum Tower, passing through the city gate, you will find the bustling crowds, unique shops, and a taste of authentic Shaanxi snacks at the open-air snack bar. Remember to leave a spare stomach for the same mouth-watering snacks not far ahead.The big and deep bowl is full of mutton steamed buns.Tear up the dry and soft steamed buns and throw them into the oil sauce. The large pieces of mutton are cooked and soft. Smelling the tangy aroma, I really want to live here for the rest of my life.

I can't tell whether it's because of the history or architecture here, the folk customs or the quality, but I always feel that the feeling is familiar.Perhaps a few years ago, before several rounds of reincarnation, an optimistic literati who was passionate about landscapes came to Chang'an, and has been obsessed with the profound beauty of the ancient city ever since.Lost in the mistakes woven by time and space, so I always yearn for it, hoping that one day, I can revisit the old place and stay in Chang'an forever.

Terracotta Warriors and Horses

Many times, especially in the face of powerful forces, the more I want to express, the more I can't express it.Thousands of years, countless days and nights of vicissitudes, countless fleeting years, countless romantic pasts, countless swift moments, evil, beautiful, and profound, are finally wrapped by time and become the eternity of history.Discovered for future generations, perhaps for respect and memory.

Whether intentional or unintentional, the ancient Huangchen Road in Xi'an always shows a unique atmosphere.Most of the people who rushed here showed pious and clear eyes.The few delicate brushstrokes in those long scrolls of history arouse people's supreme admiration. It seems that at the moment of walking, the crisp sound of camel bells on the Silk Road has passed through the scrolls, and the mottled city walls in the streets of the ancient city have jumped out of the scrolls.

However, when faced with another landscape, the powerful deterrence instantly made all souls have nowhere to escape.The heavy feeling made all the brushstrokes lose their bright colors.Under the sky of history, nostalgic brilliance.Behind China's thousands of years of civilization, the unbridled imperial power always hides.However, a finite life cannot last forever. Decades later, wherever people can see, there will be another royal tomb.

The excavation of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses from the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang has become the "eighth wonder of the world". Its significance shines brilliantly in the fields of history and art history.The expressions of the terracotta warriors and horses quickly lead people into the scene of war horses neighing. We seem to see that the strategizing general is working hard to command, and the soldiers with different expressions are actively responding.The weapons that are still sharp today and the exquisite workmanship are really spectacular.

Qin Shihuang, an emperor with important achievements, completed the unification of history and created an era.Qin Shihuang, a rare tyrant, oppressed and exploited the people until the country was lost.

Walking in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, the verdant trees make people forget the tension when recalling history.In front of you is the bronze carriage known as the "Crown of Bronze".The dignified aura exuded leisurely made the carriage even more imposing.

In the Qin Terracotta Warriors Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall, the lights were dim.The concern of later generations for cultural relics has integrated all humanistic emotions.Through the faint light, the bronze chariots and horses scaled down by 1/2 come into view.It is so delicate and magnificent, facing these, I suddenly think of the local slang in Xi'an: turn over and never forget the Communist Party, get rich and never forget Qin Shihuang.A small carriage not only hides the mechanism, but also can adjust the position of the canopy to keep out the wind and rain. It can not only see out of the car window when sitting or lying down, but also prevent the outside from peeping in.Does such a superb skill and such a powerful casting process really correspond to that slang term?

The terracotta warriors confirm a memory.After the turmoil has passed, they enter a deep dream.The murmur in the dream may be the vow to serve the country faithfully, or it may be the longing to return home with his wife and children.

Time is too fast, time is too hasty.That sleep has not yet awakened naturally.The memory jumps back to 2000 years ago.On that day, when the last piece of wood blocked the last ray of sunlight, people walked further and further.From then on, the cemetery fell into a desolate and desolate place, and those terracotta warriors insisted on their unrealistic glory, and began to wait without bounds.Waiting for a reincarnation, a change of fate, should have been galloping on the battlefield, should have been in exile in the world.Or wait for the sound of a hammer after a thousand years, although I don't know what year it is.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is the most luxurious among the Chinese imperial mausoleums. Its scale is unprecedented.There are so many funeral objects that make future generations feel ashamed.There is an old saying: Thieves come out in troubled times, and rare treasures come out in prosperous times.When the terracotta warriors and horses who had been sleeping for thousands of years were born in the air, it was as if time was reversed, and the prosperous Qin Dynasty reappeared: in the tunnel, rows of rust-colored terracotta warriors were neatly arranged.This is not an illusion. Perhaps it can be imagined as a weathered history. One day after 2000, the spell is lifted and history reappears.

That huge, luxurious, and heroic army once accompanied their king through all the thorns and thorns. "Extreme stillness brings vividness, and the quieter the more dynamic", the terracotta warriors full of vitality and in various shapes express the huge deterrent force to the extreme on a piece of static land.Either raised eyebrows, or stood awe-inspiring, in the majestic momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, the "inner vitality, emotional soul, strength of character and spirit" of Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses are displayed.Unprecedented and unprecedented, unparalleled.

Now, the chariots are no longer galloping, the horses are no longer galloping, all confrontation has died down, and the land that was once blazingly burned has fallen into silence.However, those terracotta warriors and horses who were buried with Qin Shihuang still stood there in a lonely posture, full of anticipation in affection, and full of desire to fight the enemy bravely.It seems that he is always waiting for the order of the monarch, and with the high momentum during the expedition, he will make another contribution to Qin.

On the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan land, those fresh faces, those vigorous figures, have since been deduced into an immortal legend.
