Yu Wen's Wudaoxia Prose

China is a country of jade, and jade culture is a microcosm of China traditional culture. Since ancient times, jade has been everywhere and has become a representative of a tasteful life. It is said that the ancient jade land near the river is the Jingshan Mountain of Chu. For the sake of the Three Gorges in Baokang, Hubei, I have a desire to see it.

Xu Shen pointed out in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that "jade is the beauty of stone". To put it bluntly, jade is just a stone, just let culture give it a dazzling brilliance, such as the supreme decree of a country, which describes the jade quality and jade capacity of people; Jade food, clothes, etc. Confucius said that jade has ten virtues, and Xu Shen said that jade has five virtues, raising jade to the moral height of a gentleman.

Heshibi is a world-famous beautiful jade. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Bian He, a Chu man, got a piece of jade in Jingshan and gave it to Li, who identified it as a stone and cut off his left foot. Dedicated to the prince of Wu, he was also scolded and cut off his right foot; After King Wen ascended the throne, Bian He, who cried for three days and nights, was finally appreciated, and Yupu was processed into a "harmony wall". Stories that have been circulating for thousands of years are of course impossible to identify. Wudaoxia, on the other hand, gives people the bearing of literary memory.

Spring is as deep as the sea and the sun is shining, so I have a trip to Baokang. I have a superficial understanding of this pearl hidden deep in the mountains. Su Gongquan and Wei Zi Forest in the county left a deep impression on people. However, Wudaoxia is really amazing, "hidden in the boudoir", not to mention the adventures and beautiful scenery of the Dragon Palace Cave. Coupled with lighting and stunts, people mistakenly think that they have entered a fairyland, which is dreamy and beautiful; Nor did it say that the waterfall fell from the sky, sprinkling thousands of pearls on the world like a goddess, which can make people feel the magnificence of "flying down three thousands of feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days"; Not to mention the towering trees, dense ancient trees, clear streams and pleasant bird songs in the canyon. Just say the names given by the developers to these wonderful peaks and valleys, and you can see the ingenuity, which makes the story of Bian He's jade gain vivid and vivid, and makes people see this legend as if it happened right in front of them.

Look at the canyon, from bottom to top, ask Yushan Gorge, mullet Gorge, Suoyu Gorge, Wangyu Gorge and Deyu Gorge. Gorge is a landscape, and the word "jade" is everywhere. A verb was used in front to vividly describe the hardships of Bian He's jade picking process.

Look at the mountain peaks, Li Wangfeng, Wu Wangfeng, Feng, Bian Hefeng, and the peaks echo each other, which brilliantly demonstrates the persistence of the Bian Crane in offering jade for three times. Bian He, above the king, is the candlelight of the firm and unswerving spirit, and the soul of the Chinese nation that has been constantly developing, frustrated and reborn.

Finally, there are waterfalls, such as Shuyu Waterfall, Jade Girl Waterfall, Yulong Waterfall and Luo Yu Waterfall, which are connected and perfectly matched and passed down with jade.

There are mountains and waters here, and mountains and rivers are connected; There are peaks and waterfalls, and peaks and waterfalls fly. If the mountain is just, then Shui Rou; If the peak is Yang, the waterfall is Yin. The combination of rigidity and softness, the combination of yin and yang, and the ingenious work of nature make this place as harmonious and beautiful as the human world. There are even more touching stories about the Bianhe River exploring, finding, obtaining and offering jade here, which are famous all over the world, adding color to the landscape and having strange peaks and waterfalls. Jade virtue and jade soul, "jade" all over the world, amazing, my God!

Wudaoxia is the place where Bian He, a Chu man, saw the phoenix perched on the bluestone in Jingshan. On the huge brown bluestone in Erdaoxia, there is an inscription of "Baoyu Rock", which is said to be the jade house by the river, just in line with the legend.

There are four famous jade in China, Hetian jade in Xinjiang, Xiuyu jade in Liaoning, Duyu jade in Henan and turquoise in Hubei, each with its own merits. Judging from the moist and light transmission of jadeite, turquoise obviously lacks light transmission characteristics. Five Dynasties ago, Du Guangting, a Taoist in the middle of Shu, wrote in Volume 7 of Different Stones: "The essence of the old star fell to Jingshan Mountain and turned into jade, and its color was blue from the side and white from the right." As a legend, according to legend, there is no trace of the Heshi jade seal that has been passed down to this day. But curious people can't help but be curious and study. And choi-bi and choi-bi are jade?

As a native of Nanyang, judging from the quality of jade, it may be dushan jade. Jade made by Duyu is found in Huangshan cultural site near Dushan, with a long history. But for Zhuge Liang, Hubei and Henan fought for hundreds of years and made a lot of money? Since jade comes from Jingshan, it is from Hubei! This is a record of Wudaoxia in Yu Xiu, Zhong Ling.
