As long as I am at home, I can see you at any time, and you have been with me.

You are lofty, but there are no peaks. You are deep and broad, but not gloomy and mysterious. You are a kind and generous old man who has gone through many vicissitudes, guarding the small village at the foot of the mountain and your people.

Jade belt mountain, a mountain with characteristics and connotation!

At an altitude of 500 meters, it is really not outstanding in the mountains. The steep slope of more than 60 degrees lacks depth, and the cliffs and vegetation are all exposed. At first glance, the gentle, angular mountain top thought it was a raised horizon, but only felt that the world was divided into two halves, half bright and Shu Lang, and half deep and dignified. In addition, there are two long cliffs across the mountainside. They are cold and steep, frozen for thousands of years, but they bend like rings and wander around, which is amazing.

Daiyushan is a limestone and shale structure. During the orogeny hundreds of millions of years ago, the crust broke, squeezed and lifted violently, but this mountain did not sink as deep as the crust north of Huangshan Mountain, forming a lake. There is no high uplift of the earth's crust around the Zen Hall and Guangu Mountain, forming a mountain. It is a critical period that is neither early nor late, impartial, neither tall nor short. Suddenly fixed by the divine power of the universe, the movement came to an abrupt end and solidified into this unique detachment landform. These two cliffs are the watershed of the whole mountain. Above the cliff is hard limestone and below is easily weathered shale. They are distinct and completely different, but they are closely connected and integrated, which explains the philosophical existence of combining rigidity with softness and the golden mean with lofty mountains.

Every magical mountain always has a magical legend to blend with it, just as a master in Wulin always has a mysterious martial arts secret book. Legend has it that in ancient times, it was a Wang Yang sea, an oasis with lush green grass and a magical elk living on the mainland. One day, the sea suddenly became restless, as if it were stirred by an invisible beast, rolling up huge waves and making a terrible roar. After a panic and confusion, the elk screamed, their hooves flew and flew away. The restless sea water disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the Jade Belt Mountain buried in the deep sea magically appeared. The sea has become a mulberry field, and the thousand acres of fertile land under the Jade Belt Mountain has also become a place where our ancestors thrive. The small village at the foot of this mountain was originally called Ailu Village, and later it evolved into Gao Lu Village. There is also a legend that there was a big stone lion in the village in the early years. At dawn, there is a deer standing on it. It is singing in the village. In a word, the deer is the totem of the villagers, and in the distant years, not fade away.

Legend has it that the name of Gao Lu Village is really hard to imagine if you don't take it seriously. As strange as Linqu? Hey? , not well known; Skillfully read the meaning of the text and link many imaginations. Gao Lu Village is really a beautiful place in Zhong Ling. It is still lying on Woye Pingchuan, with a hundred hectares of fertile land covered with Yuan Ye. In summer, the wheat waves are rolling, and in autumn, the corn is fragrant. There is a chubby sow hill to the east of the village. The sow may know the preciousness of the land, so she holds her four hooves tightly under her. The foot of the mountain is so steep that she can't bear to take up a piece of fertile land. There is also a hill to the south of the village. No matter in the sow mountain or the jade belt mountain, it looks like a huge turtle, with a round shell, a long neck, a triangular head and a pointed mouth, which plunged deeply into the Mihe River and swallowed it for thousands of years. The rolling Mihe River flows here, is blocked by the tortoise, turns around to the west, and hits the Jade Belt Mountain. How did Jade Belt Mountain pay attention to this trickle? With a wave of his hand, Mihe bypassed the village and did not dare to take away half the peace of the village, thus realizing it. Deer are high and depressed? It is known as the farm day of sowing barnyard grass in spring and autumn, and ensuring harvest through drought and flood.

In fact, this Jade Belt Mountain is more like a Taurus Wochuan. Its head is covered with water and its tail is turned over in the wilderness. From south to north, every part of cattle's shoulders, ridges, waist and buttocks is represented on the mountain, that is, the strong muscles and bones hidden in cattle are also presented with the ups and downs of the mountain. And those two jade-belt-like cliffs have turned into wide gray and hemp carts, which are tightened and straightened with Taurus's tall and straight waist and protruding muscles. It's just a big cow trying to pull a cart.

The older generation concluded that there was Niu Shan in the west and farmland in the lords. There is sow hill in the east, with sufficient staple food; There is Shengui Ridge in the south, which can prolong life. Gao Lu Village is a treasure trove of wealth and geomantic omen.

The villagers have a tradition of raising cattle. In 1960s and 1970s, there were more than a dozen cows in ten production teams under Gao Lu Brigade. I still remember the familiar cow codes, red hair, collar, flower and rake. Members love cows as their own and treat them well. They have feeding sheds and forage fields, and they also arrange special people to feed them. An old cow plowed the field, and the team was reluctant to sell it or slaughter it. It was fed like an old man, until one day, during a grazing, the old cow unfortunately slipped and fell off the cliff of Daiyu Mountain.

When villagers introduce Jade Belt Mountain to foreigners, they often take the cow body and two cliffs as coordinates.

Look, see the big stone on the cliff in front of that cow? It's a stone gate, with a crack in the back, which is too narrow to pass. There is a cave hidden in the gap, and a pair of golden ducks are hidden in the cave. In the dead of night, you can hear them croaking in front of the stone gate. Was there such a saying in the Song Dynasty? As soon as the Shimen was opened, ten sons of the Niu family came. ? Until the end of Yuan Dynasty, a new descendant moved to the village, and Niu's wife held her breath and gave birth to ten babies. Unfortunately, nine boys gave birth to a baby. But the Niu family was greedy and came up with a bad idea. The family roared up the hill. Ten brothers went into battle together and pushed Shimen with all their strength. Shimen really creaked and opened a crack. A young man with a son-in-law as his son has a weak conscience, but his mother-in-law is in a hurry and shouts at him: His brother-in-law, come quickly! ? Well, Shimen came to an abrupt end, and no matter how hard it was, it didn't move. The teaching of this legend is that a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely.

See Dapingling under the cliff of the lower back? More than ten meters long, with a big mouth open, like a giant clam shell? Low places to nest and graze sheep and high places to stand are good places for shepherds to shelter from rain in summer and wind in winter. One summer, the sky on the Jade Belt Mountain suddenly became overcast, with thunder and lightning and heavy rain. A shepherd had no time to drive dozens of sheep down the mountain and hid in a big flat ridge. Guess what? As soon as people and sheep hide in, the stones on the cliff will collapse, and Dapingling will have the virtue of saving lives.

Look at the cypress forest on the back of the cow. This is a big plantation. Who did this? In the 1960s and 1970s, a group of young intellectuals jumped the queue in the village and settled down. They followed the big guys to the fields and planted trees in the mountains. They really want to plant four Chinese characters with cypress trees there, and they can see from a distance that young people are good forests. They said, leave this forest as a memorial, to commemorate their youth in Gao Lu Village, and to remind Yudaishan that they have been here. Now I can't find those four words. Trees have roots, and rooted trees are all over the hillside, but the villagers are still used to calling it young forest.

Turn the cow's ass. See that hill? There is a stone paddock with a cave in it. Although the hole is small, the depth inside can be very long. It is thirty or fifty meters high and as wide as a hall, and there are stone tables, stone benches and stone beds. Legend has it that it is the bedroom of the East China Sea Dragon King. But if you go inside, it is Longtan, which leads all the way to the East China Sea.

Needless to say, the foot of the mountain, the belly of the cow, the reeds running for 100 meters and the deep water bay downstream of the reeds are all the most attractive places and the dream of the little boy. Swimming in the reeds in koi fish, singing birds on the reeds and digging crabs under the reeds are all unparalleled scenery and happiness, which make children's childhood memories swaying and interesting.

That blue deep-water bay, which villagers call Swallow Bay, has a poor name, but it can be flooded in midsummer, but it is the favorite of bold boys. When the sun is scorching and the sand is hot, people jump high, take off their clothes and plunge into the cool water waves, breaststroke and backstroke, or do nothing, and it will be chaotic. Bang bang? Not to mention how exciting it is. I swam back and forth several times, and my lips were blue and I was shaking all over. Get out of the water quickly, run to the hot beach, lie down on your back, roll a few times, sleep on a kang and apply hot compress. The rest of the time, the partners will unite to face the empty Jade Belt Mountain? Shout mountain? .

? Who are you? The boy's voice is very penetrating. Jade belt mountain was awakened and quickly sent a long reply. Who are you?

I'm Qiang Qiang! Dashan immediately replied? Strong? .

I am strong! Dashan rushed back, too Strong? .

Encouraged by Dashan, the strong children did some somersaults and jumped three times. Mihetan became Shanliwa's martial arts training ground.

Jade belt mountain stands like a huge screen between heaven and earth, representing the changes of years and seasons. ? Green hills don't paint for thousands of years, but green waters string guqin. ? I always thought that this couple, which everyone liked to write in previous years, was written for Jade Belt Mountain.

Jade Belt Mountain in April is a fresh and beautiful watercolor painting. Grass and trees are sprouting, and yellow flowers are picking on the branches. Green patches are caged in the mountains, like faint watercolors, painted on ridges and cliffs. The most eye-catching is the pink peach blossom on the cliff, dotted with the light green of Sophora japonica and the thick green of cypress, like a pink dream.

In midsummer, the thick green is sticky and can't be hung on the steep hillside, so it rushes down, crosses the cliff and pours into the long water system of Mihe River. Jade Belt Mountain at this time is a heavy oil painting. If it is after the rain, white clouds rise from the bottom of the cliff, hang on the cliff and hide in the bushes, and the green jade belt mountain becomes a fresh and elegant ink painting.

When the autumn wind bleak everything, the rich jade belt mountain also faded its heavy summer clothes and replaced it with elegant autumn clothes in the intermittent autumn coolness. Several wild elms and cotinus coggygria on the cliff were kissed by the autumn wind and burst into red smiles, telling you that this is a drunken meticulous painting.

The Jade Belt Mountain in winter is simply a simple and lively black and white sketch. Every cliff, every rock and every plant outlines the slender outline and charm of winter with minimalist lines. If the mountains are covered with snow, the green dragon will fly in the wild, bringing a chill to Ivylinna Lee.

Climbing jade with the mountain is a journey to test your feet. A water snake-like path winds on a hillside full of thorns, giving birth to thorny thorns, which often hang on your trouser legs. If you accidentally trip over a stone, you will fall down. This is no joke. Rolling on a steep slope will roll halfway up the mountain and to the bottom of the ditch. Even with this danger, in the past few years, villagers have been cultivating the land hanging on the hillside. Roast millet in spring, plant sweet potatoes in summer and wheat in autumn, and don't want to waste every inch of land. They carry a load of soil and fertilizer weighing several hundred kilograms, and their steady steps rise steadily with the creaking pole, and they will never put down the burden and rest halfway. There is no place to rest. There are steep cliffs on both sides of the narrow road except thorns, and there is no place to put the dung basket. Until you reach a place called Zhuan Zhu, where there is a large flat land, everyone will put down their burdens, catch their breath and wipe their sweat.

Further up is the youth forest, and there is a big mountain in the north of the forest, where there are hundreds of acres of black land. Therefore, people in the village will spare no effort every year, sweating like rain, climbing mountains and growing crops here.

There are several jagged cliffs through the youth forest. Jump on the cliff, your eyes will suddenly get bigger, and you will see a flat grassland. Spread out the thick grass and you will find a mushroom stone, which is round like a pot cover. Its colors are blue, gray, brown and yellow, and there are signs of peeling off layer by layer. It is said that this is a kind of coral stone born at the bottom of the sea. Does this prove the truth of the legend? In that case, this grassland should be the fragrant meadow where the deer live.

Facing the east, the scenery in front of you will make you relaxed and amazed:

The east side of the whole Jade Belt Mountain is like a huge green blanket hanging at the foot. When the mountain wind blows, countless green waves are raised, pushing and chasing each other, blocked by the cliff in the middle, and rushing up and down like waves. The vigorous falcon stretches its wings and draws a beautiful arc on the greenway, showing off its power to fight the sky and enjoy myself alone.

From a distance, the backwater, which originated in Yishan, Dongzhen, is shining like jade, drifting in the long river of the ancient road, unimpeded. Yang by the river is my lovely little village, with green crops and neat red tile houses, quiet and peaceful, like a baby sleeping in a cradle. Don't cross the jade belt mountain, bypass the small village, go north, silently, let people grow up? In Sichuan, the deceased is like a husband? Feelings.

If you catch up with the sunny day with better visibility, you can also see two magnificent landscapes: the giant ocean lake in the northeast, the blue lake, the full sail and sparkling waves, the jagged buildings and the narrowest shadows, which set off like a mirage; Yishan, an oriental town in the southeast, has a magical lion cave and a towering signal transmission tower, which is clearly identifiable. For example, in front of you, there are more beautiful mountains and rivers, such as dragons and snakes, which are magnificent and boundless.

Looking west, you will find that the Dai Yu Mountains are very long, with ridges and terraces. There are gullies and green trees. Smoke billows from kitchen chimneys, chickens and dogs hear each other, more homesickness ferments here, and more stories grow here.

The two cliffs on the mountainside are staggered inside and outside, and a platform is exposed in the middle, which is less than a dozen steps wide and less than two or three meters narrow. The cross section is flat as a rock, with fertile soil deposited for thousands of years. The fertile soil is covered with lush trees, locust trees, elms and thorns, which are impenetrable. A few years ago, bold people in the village often went in to trap rabbits, ground badgers and malicious mandarin ducks. Because they live by adventure, this shady forest corridor has become a paradise for animals.

When I was a child, I was always fascinated by the mysterious forest corridor. I've been trying to figure it out, but I've never been able to. One day in late autumn this year, I decided to venture into the mysterious corridor alone.

I came prepared. I wear a sun hat on my head, sneakers on my feet and a round thorn in my hand. For self-defense, I heard that wolves and insects often haunt the Woods. Secondly, cleaning the road, there are countless cobwebs in the jungle, which are annoying to wrap around. I climbed a big stone and looked south. Between the two cliffs split by knives and axes, the forest corridor is like a huge green python, crawling and stretching endlessly, which seems endless.

I finally distinguished the trace of a path, because of its existence, a small hole appeared in the leafy bush, which I called a tunnel. I can go straight into this tunnel without getting lost or accidentally hitting the cliff in the east. In order to fulfill my long-cherished wish, I am willing to be one? Bugs? I got into the belly of this boa constrictor without hesitation. The next trip proved to be the right choice. Although the hooks and thorns of Sophora japonica often hang on my hat, scratch my clothes and pants, and even scratch my arms and face, which makes me embarrassed, but this has never stopped me from moving forward. Sometimes I get into a dilemma, because in some places, the forest is dense, and I can't find any shadow of the path. I have to struggle in the maze of trees, and I can't find a way out. I just drilled under the cliff in the west and groped along the root of the cliff. The autumn sun shines high on the forest, but the dense leaves can't cover much light and shadow. I, a lonely ranger, can only walk in the dark.

I finally came to a familiar place, where there is a fault on the upper and lower cliffs, and there is a path to climb between the faults. According to the mood at that time, I really wanted to follow the path and hurry down the mountain to escape this lonely and helpless journey. But the scenery on Niu Jiao Mountain calls me from a distance, telling me that giving up halfway is not a man's behavior, and it is also cowardice that people in the mountains laugh at. I rested on a raised stone and set the camera to time-delay shooting, leaving an eternal moment for my adventure. The rest of the journey doesn't seem as difficult as expected. I have visited the stone gate that countless people have heard of but have never touched personally. I walked into a stone paddock built under a cliff and read those grotesque stalactites; I also came across some precious tree species, such as Gleditsia sinensis, Acer truncatum and Sorbus pohuashanensis. When they were about to walk out of the green tunnel, they met several stout hawthorn trees with strings of shiny orange fruits hanging on their branches, which seemed to be my reward.

At the moment, I finally walked out of the forest corridor of Wuli Road. I jumped on a boulder and looked in the direction I came from. That long python is still winding among the cliffs, but I have conquered it!

Standing on the platform of Taurus, the electric windmill rotating with the wind in the distant mountains comes into view. It occurred to me that if this forest corridor is built into a highway around mountains, you can have a panoramic view of the river by taking sightseeing bus, and connect the scenic spots such as Xuanquan Temple, Hengwang Mausoleum, Zen Hall and Shuangque Mountain in series, which will become a major landscape of rural tourism. What a pleasant thing it will be!

My eyes rested on the stick in my hand, and I felt a chill in my back: after drilling the green tunnel for more than three hours, I didn't meet a wild animal, let alone a raccoon, a jackal, a rabbit or a mouse! Jade belt mountain is too lonely and lacks an agile life. This is no longer an animal paradise, but a stagnant painting screen and a cold stage!

Thinking of the extinction of hunters, the predatory development of Mihetan, and the escape of small creatures under the smog noise, I can't help but feel ashamed of my whimsy. Silent Jade Belt Mountain, as long as it exists intact, as long as it has a quiet rest and no birds singing and deer jumping, there will be no worries about the future. Don't disturb it, just let it stand quietly, sheltering the small village at the foot of the mountain and sheltering those hardworking and kind people!
