First, look forward to
The sea has always been my desire, eager, however, but refused. Many times to wake up from a nightmare, that the background is a deep but lonely sea. Came to understand that although there is no real face, but the sea is my lonely child because they can not seize all the real struggle in the heart.
Two years ago, in winter, I missed the one will take me to see the sea boy. However, the desire is always to the sea.
Second, Chu Shi
Hot in August, I and a willingness to take me to see the sea of men.
Qingdao, the plane landed the moment, I smell the air filled with the salty smell Road, the sea close at hand, it is not never see her real face, only through a glass window to see the darkness of that vast empty transparent . I know that I am looking forward to for a long time at sea, although she is still so unbelievable.
August 1 by a thick fog in Qingdao welcome our arrival. In the fog while I still can not see the imaginary line of the sea and the sky, but the real feel of this beautiful seaside city. A typical red top European architecture and modern buildings embraced each other, forming a kind of peculiar history and culture of the compared. And this is definitely not a superficial metaphysical general could not help but to touch people that grace the back pain.
Is said to want to know the historical buildings in Qingdao, the best place is located in the eastern part of the Ba Da Guan Scenic Huiquan Bay. The so-called "Ba Da Guan" is because there are eight road (now increased to 10), is named after the eight control points, namely, Shaoguan Road, Jiayuguan Road, Han Gu Guan Road, zhengyangguan Road, Linhuaiguan Road, Ningwu Guan Road, zijingguan Road, Juyongguan Road. This 10 roads criss-cross, forming a radius of miles of scenic spots. Although not as good as listening to King King to see, we still decided to go to.
Went to Badaguan way, we decided to walk rather than a truck, along the second beach along the trail walk through the past. At that moment I saw the sea of my dreams.
She brought a huge roar from the waves, a touch on the shore of the brown rock smashed to pieces and the white splash. She is absolutely not the scenery that the film with a seagull blue, but I dream that endless blue and gray. I do not have the broad measure of her, but feel their insignificance in the full view of the waves in the exposure is no doubt. I have no discretion over the vicissitudes of life that she only felt like a lost child find a home at the moment inexplicable moving.
Along the sea along the way, we came to the Yellow Sea Road, on the 18th flower stone floor. Flower stone floor is a typical European castle-style building with disabilities, which integrate a variety of architectural styles of the West, both Greek and Roman style, another Gothic architectural features. The main floor a total of five layers, the top-level view of the sea to Taiwan, side-iron spire, positive for the circular and polygon composed of architectural shapes, very chic. Since the host can not help but envy the pleasant sea tours to climb. Floor, walls are mostly granite Tetsushige, so many years people have been called the "flower stone floor." Today, the buildings of the granite has long been the little remaining years of erosion, the number of people to taste some of the melancholy to the non-Wu Shi people.
Juyongguan along the trail leaves the road walk, appreciate the luxury and quiet of a decline. While it is upright summer, the Wu Jiaofeng or a green, but I still can not help but imagine the effect Shuangye red and in February of that one beautiful flower to.
Look for what was originally intended to Juyongguan on the 10th floor of the Princess, but has completed all the way has not been found. Danish-style buildings may be this building has been submerged in the architectural style of this one-like compound of circuitous. Is also not necessarily a bad one does not find a good thing, as it ultimately did not pass across the sea to come to China, like the Danish princess will be left behind countless beautiful reveries.
Starting from Badaguan and we drove to another place where the introduction of reverie. Fushan branch that is located on the 5th house of Kang Yu-wei.
From the foot hill along the Fukuyama fish slip through successive steep slopes, we finally see a rather chic Western-style Western-style house, which is 5 days Fukuyama slip Kang ---- the Garden House. Yellow walls and red tile roofs can not see into the old masters of reformers had magnificent national salvation, leaving only a trivial and decline.
Looked at the biographies of the room, Mr. Kang, I can not help but think of this old Chinese intellectuals rather convoluted and dramatic life. Leaves the nineteenth century, the scholar, speaking in a thick Cantonese-speaking Guangdong Province from his home out of the South China Sea toward Beijing at that time coincided with the ever-changing. This way around, presumably, Mr. Kang was also a myriad of thoughts, Chuaizhao the unknown fate of hesitation, also with a good future for the future of reverie. Mr. Kang, however, the final non-district ordinary ordinary man, and his reformist ideas awakened the dormant minds of intellectuals in China at that time the ideal of reform and strengthen the country, but also aroused the concern of the authorities, in the nineteenth century, China launched a massive Restoration Reform Movement. 穷则变,变则通, General a long time, a tide of voices makes Kang brought to the stage of history. We can imagine Guangxu Niansi year (1898) within the Forbidden City in April of that spectacular program to meet the market how the stunning and unexpected Guangxu Emperor Zhao summoned the then rose to the rank and Industry under the principal of Kang and other reformers who set the country on the newly promulgated is the rule with the Kang Chao and Reform had a deep conversation, this conversation to establish Kang no place in the eyes of Emperor Kuang Hsu's status, but also the achievements of this though short-lived but influential Hundred Days reform movement. However, the end of history with its premature end to this brutal campaign, will also be Kang threw a life low. This drifting intellectuals exposed the bones of the weak old China, but also makes the political ideals of the limitations of Kang exposure exhaustive. The early twentieth century, Kang and his disciple Liang flagrant and capitalist revolution led by Sun Yat-sen were loud opposition, and revolution in the improvement between the resolutely acted as defenders of imperial power. At this point, I do not know the history and Mr. Kang opened a big joke, or the history and Mr. Kang opened a joke. Political position in the walk destined Kang in the awkward position of modern Chinese history, but also determines that his later life of exile. In a city far from the noise and political look for a lonely house, and eventually a life but also perhaps the best conversion of his heart.
Left the weight of history, we would also like to find a lighter. The afternoon, when the fog gradually dispersed, we join the crowd try their hand.
Shilaoren Beach is the largest in the city a bathing beach, not far from the sea by the Central Committee of the reef is named exactly like the old man. Because there are waves, sand, I am more respected by the Qingdao people.
On this evening, I once again closer to my sea. At this point, she has not the solemnity of the fog and the vicissitudes of life, while the explicit playful and full of vigor. She time and again they are very gentle spray the strength of our Fuguo knees, and then left some plants in general entangled vines of our ankles, so that free and easy but with some tenderness favored again and again crept across my heart. So I understand that the sea can be so passionate, so people intoxicated.
Third, worship
August 2 of the sky only a bit of mist, but suddenly dry and hot up, despite some concerns about the weather, but we still decided to climb Mount Laoshan.
Qingdao Laoshan people say that have never been to, then you have not been to Qingdao. This view although some exaggeration, but it should also take a look at what, not to mention in order that the "sea mountain first" titles, it directed at those immortal ghosts described by Pu Song-ling, but also it will certainly appeals to the imagination.
Our taxi along the beach road has been opened to the foot of Laoshan, just an into the mountains, they saw the thick mist blowing. Sure enough, under the smoke-filled Laoshan seem mysterious and strange. Possession of a mountain seems to always permitted to travel to the wonderful and unknown, therefore, also without exception, China's religious and mountains formed a deep bond. From the Sichuan Emei to Wudang in Hubei, Fujian, five from the barbarians to the Henan Shaolin are multiplied with this mountain of civilization. This choice of religion is to be attributed to the quiet and isolation in the mountains, or need to find a kind of standing above the crowd mood, or both, would not know.
Our car on the winding mountain roads blocked because of the narrow mountain road, it is not too much to accommodate this traffic. Of course, this also gave me off close contact with the Laoshan opportunities. First of all into my eye is the huge gray and black granite, but also all over the mountain was formed a strange scene. Are like a stone that Huangshan is a world of its rugged, that for the Laoshan these boulders, I can only find the word - unexpected. There is no beauty, but also not poetic, but there is a can not tell the intake of power. He wanders the dark mountain torrent of water, and then waves of the sea howling casual, really there is a suspected wonderland feeling.
After a bumpy, we finally came to the summit parking lot. Said to be the Peak, but the distance we want to go to a different galaxy Mingxia are still holes. Although the vegetation in the mountains more, but still hot intolerable, so we have chosen to sit cable car to the. Down the cable car, and then after a short mountain road, we finally see the true face of Mingxia hole. Think of the year Laoshandaoshi carrying their food to go Yitang Tang of these rugged mountain, I can not help but sigh enlightenment Gao Ren with us after all the souls are different.
Mingxia hole is still really has its holes. Juan-dong on the amount of "Mingxia hole, big ancin not (1211)" 7 characters, legends for the whole Taoist Qiu Zhen Long Men Pai machines title. Hole on the left boulder engraved with "Xia Zhu a half-day" 4 words (also said "a half days Zhu Xia"), which means a half of the sky glow of dyed, the KMT elder Chong Yu Shao wrote when Mount Laoshan. Hole rock walls were engraved with Jinshan Mountain Taoist Sun Ziyang (Xuanqing) Xiuzhen mind. A small cave there are so many sources, seems to be hidden infinite cents machine.
Standing mountain gate, although less than had been looking for to send mountains of Taoism Jinshan true birthplace of the whole legacy, but there are two mountain door in over a century old Magnolia trees are very cute, can not help but some "people do not know where to face go, Peach Blossom Spring is still laughing, "one's feelings.
Mingxia left holes down the mountain we decided to visit Shangqing Gong. Shangqing Gong is located in dong Nam Mingxia about 1,500 meters, covers an area of 1 000 sq m. Include a total of Front Hall Temple 3-ching, rear Jade Emperor Temple, left Piandian Temple three officers, the right Piandian seven true. The seven true that Wang Chong-yang of the seven disciples. In these unfamiliar faces, familiar legend, I seem to be able to comprehend some Taoist enduring charm.
In fact, Shangqing Gong attracted me the most is the one under the main hall Xichuang White Peony. Although I now see only dead branches, but said she had to flourish in height of about bachi annual flowering season, flowers snow like silver, aromatic Xiren is PU, "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" in Hong Magician Mary Bell jade in disguise. While Americans have been certain death, but it seems also find a year in the perils of Canbai charm.
Left Shangqing Gong, we have decided to end Laoshan trip. First, because of weather, the most important is to read the Laoshan should not be too ornamental, a mood has been enough to have left a deep impression. Say "benevolent Leshan, Wise delight in the water", standing in this vast sea and the mountains, I believe we have found the perfect connection Daren Ochi.
In the evening, I am in the hotel's pool side and fell asleep. Dream, a beautiful and flirtatious fox spirit into ... ...
IV Remembrance
August 3 is a cool but sunny summer, but also we are about to leave Qingdao day. We rode on boats at sea Yaokan the city. Blue sky, blue sea, red roofs, green trees form a harmonious and beautiful picture. The humiliation and the war had seemed to have disappeared in the smoke and dust of history. Eyeful see only pleasant people and thriving. Is it because of the sea of tolerance, it gives the city the courage to heal wounds; is not because of the passion of the sea, which gave the city glow glorious enthusiasm.
Grateful to my heart has enriched many of the sea, and in this there is the same sea-minded city.
I believe the first look at the sea with the enthusiasm, I have planted in the sea a second look at the impulse to ... ...
