Dream-seeking Peach Blossom Garden Prose

My heart is floating in the world of mortals, and I have a crush on Peach Blossom Garden.

To tell the truth, I don't really believe in heaven, but I am often confused and crazy.

It's not my fault. Think about it, Taoyuan is beautiful, but it's just an illusory dream. Otherwise, why can't the existing markers be found, and why can't there be people who don't care about the future? But this dream is true, just like a beautiful person in her arms, warm and sensible. Look at the mountain that seems to have no way out, the small hole that shines with faint light, the fairyland on earth after being suddenly enlightened, the colorful red stream, the curling smoke, the cock crow and dog bark, the rich dishes and mellow wine, the chat at the dinner, and the sigh of the vicissitudes of life for a hundred years ... So, how can you say that this is just an illusion?

This is to blame, only Mr. Tao. His wonderful pen is light and dreamy. If there is anything, if there is nothing, he can surprise you and make it disappear. Leaving only a phantom that makes you crazy, even if you miss a thousand years, pursue a thousand miles and call for a thousand times, you are still confused. In desperation, I have to sigh, it is a fantasy, a utopia, just like chasing the moon, never catching up. Alas! The imprint of "Xanadu" will never fade: Taoyuan should only exist in Xanadu, and there is no trace of it in the world!

But more people don't agree, saying that there should be something. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain so many scenic spots named after Taohuayuan in the country, and there will be so many people going.

Is there one or not? I confused myself.

Xanadu, an isolated place, is a little fairy, a little different, far from the secular, different. But with my limited knowledge, such places are often remote and backward, and it is difficult for me to go out and outsiders to come in. Even in wonderland, most of them are busy making a living and unaware of it. What's more, they have to leave their homes and find another way out. Therefore, the so-called extraordinary scenery that foreigners are looking for hard may be just a dilemma for those aborigines who are born and raised in Sri Lanka.

The scenery is suitable for viewing, but not for living. If it really becomes a public house, I'm afraid it will no longer be a landscape.

Hey, it's spinning again. All right, let's stop beating around the bush. Seeing is believing.

The slogan of Youyang Peach Blossom Garden is very domineering: there are two peach blossoms in the world, one in your heart and the other in Youyang, Chongqing. This language kills the Peach Blossom Garden in the world, and even the most convincing study of Changde Peach Blossom Garden is dwarfed.

Let me see.

When the car stopped at the gate of the scenic spot, I was disappointed, because all I saw was an ordinary bungalow, and all kinds of signs showed that it was still under construction.

Buy tickets, enter the door, and continue to deepen. When I came to a square, I saw a pool in front of me, a rockery next to it, like a tiger lying on the ground, a hole on the side, and the right book "Taikoo Cave". There are waterfalls hanging high, flying flowers splashing jade, loud and clear. As soon as the tourists saw it, they all posed and were very lively.

Coming out of the hole, it is a long and narrow passage, piled with stones, shaped like a bomb shelter and just visited. There is light on the wall and bottom of the cave, but there is no light, unlike the skylight, which is unique. The tunnel is very long, winding downward, and the narrow place can only accommodate the next person to pass sideways. Everyone took turns walking, and no one robbed the tunnel. Seeing seems endless, and I can't help guessing that this is not necessarily Taikoo Cave. Is this Taikoo Cave man-made?

Just when I was wondering, I was surprised to see a corner in front, which was narrow and low, so I had to bend over. Out of the corner, the ceiling of the cave rises abruptly and the space becomes wider. There are stairs at the foot. So this is the real Taikoo Cave. Probably, tunnel designers just want to remind people how to see a beautiful cave without some twists and turns.

This Taikoo Cave is an ancient cave. Walking in it is like entering an underground maze. The road is straight or curved, up or down, sometimes as narrow as intestines, sometimes as wide as a hall, low places need to bend over, and high places like the top of the mountain. Because of the rocky rivers, most roads are equipped with guardrails. It must be the light. The grotesque stalactites in the cave look fantastic and dreamlike, and the reflection of the dark river and the deep pool extends the visual space, making people trance into the underground paradise. Sometimes there will be rain curtains or waterfalls falling on the top or wall of the cave, and the water drops are cool and bright, which makes people want to reach into their pockets or raise their heads and open their mouths to catch them. You can even see white lotus in the pool. A closer look turned out to be a lotus-shaped lantern. There are many tourists in the cave, but they are not noisy. I don't know if everyone is speechless because of this fantastic scenery, or if the noise reduction effect of this cave is excellent. Anyway, along the way, it seems that I only hear the sound of running water and dripping water. I have been to many caves, but there are not many caves as deep as this one. Out of the cave, walk for more than an hour.

When the hole came out, it looked like a steep cliff, and the hole was embedded in the cliff. Look carefully again, there seems to be a plank road on the cliff, and there seems to be a hole at the end of the plank road. Unfortunately, the path leading to the plank road is blocked by red lines and fences, otherwise I must find it. Follow the crowd, cross the wooden archway and walk along the stormy corridor, and you will see a flat valley. Facing you are several wooden houses with simple and elegant shapes, with pavilions and pavilions beside them, and all the eaves of Dahe are very dull in color. It looks quite old, harmonious with the surrounding gray cliffs and lush trees, and very beautiful. There are Hanfu women in it, which makes people feel like crossing the world. Go right along the corridor and you can see a longer wind and rain corridor. I was curious, so I gave up the Taoyuan archway and wanted to go deeper. I met a beautiful woman on the road and said that the front was locked and I couldn't get through. I let out a cry and walked on. Not far away, I saw a wooden door with a horizontal lock and words on the lintel. I know the seal script except the word "hole", but I can't figure out the other two words. Therefore, the road is really impassable, so we have to turn around, but we miss another hole with regret.

Walking on the archway, looking back, I saw waterfalls and deep pools beside the wooden house, and the water flowed into streams, singing cheerful songs, guiding tourists all the way forward. The mountain road is winding, the stream is gurgling, the bridge is flying, there are wooden houses and promenades, roadside pavilions, tile eaves of the same color, quaint and chic, with grass tops, bark as walls, wooden barrels and grass curtains, which can also be seen everywhere. The birds in the forest are singing and the fish in the pond are amused; Peach blossoms are in full bloom on the shore, begonia is in full bloom, and mulberry trees are covered with gold; The stream is filled with water mist and the waterwheel circulates; The rice fields are criss-crossed, and the vegetable hedges and rape blossoms are fragrant, which makes people sigh. Small bridges and flowing water! Farmhouses are wooden houses, either leaning against the foot of the mountain or standing on the side of the road, living in houses or shacks with various functions. For example, blacksmiths, oil mills, rice mills, stone mills, sawmills and farm equipment rooms are all available. Such as threshers, windmills, waterwheels, bamboo baskets, dustpans, hoes, plows, unicycles, and even some rare ancient agricultural tools in modern times can be seen. Obviously, designers, builders and even guardians have spent a lot of effort to maintain and create the original rural scenery and farm life.

Of course, this is the Peach Blossom Garden, not an ordinary rural farm, so everything here is in line with the natural landscape here, and the Peach Blossom Garden is marked everywhere. For example, there are Taogong Temple, Piqin Village, Information Pavilion, Taoran Pavilion, Fang Yue, fishing boats, men and women in ancient costumes, etc. Whether it's layout facilities or text prompts, it seems to tell you that the place where you come is the real peach blossom source. There is even a dressing room here to satisfy tourists' addiction to the ancient life in Taoyuan. You can play the bellows while it is hot, you can show your face in the rape field, you can cut a thin vine, insert wild flowers into it and put it on your head, you can play a song with a leaf, you can pick up a brush and write a few lines, you can sit down with a young man or a beautiful woman dressed in Hanfu and have a cup of tea, you can play the guqin and play the flute. In other words, the scenery here is alive, life is alive and can be truly experienced.

You may come and go in a hurry and have no time to look closely, and even some places you can only pass by. For example, Zhuocun, Qiancun and Taolan Pavilion, but when you arrive at Taohuayuan, you will go to Taogong Temple. You may have been amazed at the stormy promenade or fascinated by pavilions, but what really makes you linger is Taogong Temple. Taogong Temple is located in the hinterland of Taohuayuan, with an open scene and an N-shaped wooden building. The main hall in the middle is located on the high platform, and the partial halls are diaojiao buildings. There is a square in front of the temple, and there is a row of wooden houses on both sides of the square above, all built according to the terrain, with platforms up and down. There are two trees with wide crowns in the upper layer and a stone statue of Tao Gong in the middle of the lower layer. There is a stone step on both sides of the stone statue between the two platforms, connecting the upper and lower. The overall layout is relaxed and orderly, and the building is simple, elegant and solemn. Walking up the steps in front of the temple, you can see an altar in the temple. In Taichung, there is a statue of Tao Gong. There is a couplet next to it, "It is difficult for a noble person to give up, but it is expensive in the mountains." There are blue-and-white porcelain bottles with chrysanthemums on the stage, and several trays with bananas, grapes, apples and other fruits in the middle. The platform is simple in modeling and beautifully carved. There is an incense burner under the altar, standing in front of the statue, giving birth to a solemn feeling. Out of the door, I saw a pair of couplets engraved on the doorpost at the edge of the steps: "The earth is far from the world, and the water flies in front of the hole. You can find Peng Zezai here. The temple has been secluded since ancient times. I look at the clothes of the Jin Dynasty. Mr. Yue Feng once wrote about Wulingyuan. " Then I went to the temple and caught a glimpse of a couplet engraved on the courtyard door. "It means proud of mountains and rivers, and I would like to be indifferent to the countryside and create a poetic style." These couplets can be described as the charm of Tao Gong.

Taogong Temple is an exhibition area of Tujia folk customs and a museum of Taogong cultural relics. There are Weng Tao's study, historical sites and Tujia cultural relics in the museum. There are many famous ink marks hanging on the wall of the study, all involving Tao Gong's poems. Most of the historical sites are displayed in porcelain, and many cultural relics are within reach, but no one takes care of them, and I don't know why. I probably think that people who can indulge in the mountains and rivers here will never do that dirty thing. I don't know. It seems that folk customs are simple. Of course, that's not all that fascinates me. In fact, what fascinates me more is the wooden diaojiao building, the carved door of the window lattice, the pattern of the railing and the cornice of the wooden frame. Its exquisite carvings, exquisite patterns and simple colors are fascinating. I don't know why, every time I am next to this antique building, I always lament the romantic art of the ancients and the artistic pursuit of harmony between man and nature. They skillfully build their own rooms, so that they are completely integrated into nature and become one of the most beautiful scenery. They may be so old that they can't tell the color, but they can't hide the artistic charm under the vicissitudes of life, which is probably why there are so many ancient houses in the scenic spot. Even if the imitation building is rebuilt, it has its own charm, which is unmatched by modern reinforced concrete buildings like matchboxes. It is a pity that modern people advocate simplicity and practicality, but unconsciously lose the artistic pursuit of exquisite leisure. To my surprise, I saw a swing on the lower platform next to the stone mill thresher. Not necessarily, our old Mr. Tao is also an old urchin who keeps playing, still hanging around in the busy farming? I couldn't help looking at the stone statue of Tao Gong. I saw him wearing a hat on his back, holding a scroll in one hand and a beautiful moustache in the other. Looking forward, I really can't see the shadow of any urchin.

The amazing nature here is not only the magical and dreamy Longtai Cave, but also the beautiful scenery of Taoyuan that you walk into when you get out of the cave. Not only these quaint and elegant wooden buildings. What is even more surprising here is that the exit is actually lying on a mountain, and there is even a hole connecting the inside and the outside. This peach garden is surrounded by mountains and guarded by these two barriers. No wonder there is such a peerless beauty. This is really a magical and unique thing. No wonder the advertisement of Youyang Peach Blossom Garden is so domineering and confident. This Peach Blossom Garden is really in line with Tao Yuanming's works.

It's true when it's fake, it's true when it's fake, and there's nothing to do. The genius of nature lies in the difference between true and false!

However, the tour guide can say that this is the government's reason. I think it is a wise choice and conscience project of the government to introduce such a dream-chasing space to the people in the tide of modern urban civilization, otherwise it would be a pity to raise people in the mountains.

It seems that dreams can be done, pursued and rounded. If the poets in troubled times are just talking in their dreams, then what we are seeing now is reality, even a better artistic truth than reality.

Has Tao Gong seen the real Taoyuan? I think I've seen it before, just like a fisherman in Wuling. But the poet obviously didn't want the quiet and beautiful world in his heart to be annihilated by the noise of the world, so he simply came to confuse the world with the words "I was fascinated", "I failed" and "I didn't care later". He probably didn't expect that today, after him, there will be so many landscapes that follow the map, and so many people will come from afar to see the artistic style of this land.

Looking for dreams in Taoyuan is not just about Taoyuan.
