Langlang Qilu Yue Jiaodong Journey Penglai Pavilion Wonderland on Earth

Penglai Pavilion is located on the Ya Dan in the north of Penglai City. The pavilion is in the air, facing the sea. It is mainly composed of six single buildings, including Lvzu Hall, Sanqing Hall, Penglai Main Pavilion, Tianhou Palace, Dragon Palace and Mituo Temple, with a total construction area of 32,800 square meters. The building layout in the museum is proper, and the halls and pavilions are stacked on top of each other, showing superb architectural art skills. Between the walls of the gallery, a dazzling array of couplets, paintings and calligraphy inscribed by celebrities are displayed, such as the handwriting stone of Su Dongpo, a famous poet in the Song Dynasty, the portrait of Lv Dongbin, one of the legendary Eight Immortals, and the handwriting stone of Feng Yuxiang, a patriotic general, with the four characters "Blue Sea and Dan Xin" engraved on it.

Penglai seaside has been famous for its magnificent scenery and ethereal artistic conception since ancient times, especially its "mirage" spectacle, which has attracted people of all ages. During the Qin Dynasty, alchemist Xu Fu and others saw this spectacle and wrote to Qin Shihuang: "There are three sacred mountains in the sea, named Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, where immortals live." ("Historical Records of the First Qin Emperor") In the Han Dynasty, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was famous for seeing Penglai in the sea and building a city." (Tang Tongdian) This is the origin of Penglai's name. During Song Jiayou's reign, Zhu Chu, the county magistrate, saw this mountain majestic and beautiful, so he built a pavilion on Ya Dan Mountain and named it Penglai. In the seventeenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and the twenty-fourth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Penglai Pavilion was built and expanded one after another, which led to its present scale.

Mirage and sea fairy mountain

It is said that mirage can be seen in four places in China: Penglai in the north, Shenquan Port in Chaoshan in the south, Putuo in the east and Yumen in the west, among which Penglai was the earliest developed. A mirage caused the ancients to fantasize about the fairy mountain on the sea. Guanchan in Historical Records has a more detailed description of the sea fairy mountain in the eyes of the ancients: "The three gods spread the Bohai Sea, not far from people; If you suffer, the wind will take you away. The best taste, fairy, fairy medicine. Its animals and animals are white, and gold and silver are palaces. If you don't reach it, it will be like a cloud; Also, Sanshen Mountain lives underwater. When you get close, the wind will lead you, and you will never get there. " Since then, the realm of the sea fairy mountain has appeared in literati works and folklore. Bai Juyi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Song of Eternal Sorrow that after Yang Guifei hanged herself on Maweipo, she was promoted to "Fairy Mountain on the Sea" and "Penglai Palace" as a "fairy". According to this poem, a "Taoist priest in Lin Qiong" is "eager to find Yang Guifei, in order to feel the king", but "above, he looked for the green emptiness, below, the yellow spring, but he didn't find the person he was looking for in two places". At this time-

The origin of the ancient poem "fairyland on earth": Then he heard the story of a magical island at sea, which is part of the intangible world. There are pavilions in the five-color sky, and exquisite immortals walk back and forth. And one of them, they call it forever true, has a face like her snow and flowers. So he went to the golden gate of the West Hall, knocked on the Jasper Gate, and asked a girl named Small jade to tell Shuang Perfect. This lady, after hearing the news of Emperor China's envoy, woke up from her dream in her canopy. She pushed open the pillow, got dressed, shook off her drowsiness, opened the pearly curtain, and then opened the silver screen. Ji Yun is half asleep, and her flowered hat is loose when she walks along the balcony. A breeze blew her cloak and fluttered with her movements, as if she were dancing with a rainbow skirt and feather coat; Tears rolled down her sad and pale face, just like the spring rain on pear flowers. ……

Mirage wonders are ethereal, mysterious and colorful, which also fascinates literati in past dynasties. In the eighth year of Yuanfeng in Song Shenzong (1085), Su Dongpo wanted to see a mirage after learning about Dengzhou (now Penglai), but he never got it. In October, he was ordered to return to Beijing as a minister of rites to pray in the temple of King Guangde, the sea god. It is said that the next day, he really saw Haicheng and wrote the famous poem "Dengzhou Haicheng": "The east clouds are empty, and the gods are too late to show up. There is no hidden pearl palace in the north. You dare to bother your eyes and ears when you know what you are seeing is an illusion. At the age of 20, it was freezing and the sky was closed, which made me super stinging and flogging ichthyosaurs. The brothel is frosty, and the strange things are shocking for a hundred years. " But whether Su Dongpo really saw a mirage is a mystery, because generally speaking, this kind of wonder will not happen in mid-October. However, it is true that Penglai has this wonder. At 2: 40pm on July 198 10, hundreds of tourists from Penglai Pavilion were lucky enough to witness this spectacle: I saw two new islands looming in the sea south of Miaodao. Ten minutes later, its outline became clearer and clearer, and the roads, trees and peaks on the island were clearly discernible. Sometimes you can see tall pavilions and pedestrians for forty minutes.

Xu fu strives for longevity

There are many legends of seeking immortality in Penglai area, and Xu Fu's story is an earlier one.

At that time, after Xu Fu wrote to Qin Shihuang, Qin Shihuang heard that the Three Holy Mountains were "not far from people" and that "the immortals and medicines are all here", so he ordered Xu Fu to take people out to sea to look for the Three Holy Mountains and seek medicines. Chui fook took people out to sea and turned around. When he came back, he told Qin Shihuang that there was a shark on the sea. Qin Shihuang also sent people with crossbows to shoot big sharks from Chengshanjiao to Penglai coast, and really shot big fish at the seaside. So Chui fook went out to sea again. This time, Chui fook took three thousand boys and girls to the sea by boat, and there was no news. It is said that they later drifted to an island and settled down. That island is now Japan.

According to folklore, it is Xu Fu's plan to take boys and girls out to sea to find immortals. At that time, after Qin Shihuang destroyed the six countries and called it the first emperor, he wanted to live a long life. In front of all the officials in the Qing Dynasty, he made an imperial edict: everyone from the ministers down to the people should find him an elixir of youth. Those who find it will be rewarded, and those who can't find it will be sentenced to felony. After a few months, many ministers cured too much, and the people were beheaded because the offerings were invalid. A small official named Xu Fu was deeply disturbed. One day, a hundred officials went to court, and he dared to play: "My official heard that there is a fairy island in Yingzhou, which is full of fairy grass. He is willing to take 3,000 boys and 3,000 girls across the ocean and get the elixir for the emperor in three years. " Qin Shihuang must appear on the spot. In less than half a month, One Happy and Fifth's boat, three tents, ten paddles, 6,000 handsome men and women and a lot of food and grass were all ready. Xu Fuling led these boys and girls to camp on two small islands by the sea. Boys practice water, and girls learn to be women. After two months, all the boys can sail and row, and all the girls can cook and sew. Chui fook chose an auspicious day, commanded, one hundred and fifty warships carrying six thousand virgins and royal grain royal grass, set out for the East China Sea. It is said that he took his fleet out of the sea, headed for the ocean, passed through Korea, crossed Ryukyu, drifted on the sea of Wang Yang for one year and five months, and finally came to a big island. He felt good when he went ashore, so he let boys and girls match 3,000 pairs and settle down. It is said that this island is now Japan. Since Xu Fu went to sea, Qin Shihuang went to the seaside every spring and summer when he visited the whole country, hoping to welcome Xu Fu back to collect herbs, but every year he was on a whim and disappointed. On the way back to Beijing for the last time, he died on the dragon chariot. Xu Fu's design thus prevented Qin Shihuang from killing his subjects and created a new life for 3,000 virgins.

The story of Xu Fudong's eastward journey is also widely celebrated in Japanese history books and folk. Japan's "On the Emperor's Way", which recognized Xu's works, said: "In the forty-five years of Xiaoling, Qin Shihuang ascended the throne, and the first emperor became an immortal and asked Japan for immortality medicine. Japan wanted to get the suicide notes of the five emperors and three kings of that country, and the first emperor was told to send them. For the next thirty-five years, all the classics of Confucius were kept in Japan because that country burned books. "After the publication of this book, it had a great influence among Japanese scholars. The textual research and research on Xu Fu's deeds became hot, and many works were written at one time. For example, in "Luoshan Collection", "Xu Fuzhi came to Japan six or seven years before the Vatican entered Confucianism, and few people knew that he wanted to seal tadpoles and draw bamboo slips. "Wen Tong Tong Kao" said: "There is a place where Qin lived near Imakumano, and the natives said it was Xu Fu's former residence. As a result, there was the Xufu Temple in the seven or eight miles, during which the ancient tombs were uneven, and it was said that it was the burial of its ministers. If the old traces are still circulating today, and there are Qin surnames, it is inevitable that Qin people will come and go. "

In addition to Japanese historical records, there are also many accounts of Xu Fudong crossing the river in Japanese local chronicles. For example, the Topographic Map of Japanese Places of Interest reads: "On the east coast of the old city, in Pu Tian, Kumano, there are two old camphor trees, and Tokugawa came to announce the establishment of a workshop called' Qin Xufu's Tomb'. Go to Sanming tomb, there is a small ridge seven, which is the tomb of Xu's followers. To the east of Mumachi in Moulou County and to the southeast of its neighboring suburb, there are Qin Xupu and Xu Fu's temporary parking places in Yajieji. Although he later moved to the new palace, Qin Xupu still had the Qin family. " In addition, the historical records of Wakayama County also contain: "According to legend, when Qin Shihuang was emperor, Xu Fu led 500 boys and girls to Japan, brought food seeds and farm tools, landed in Kumano Pu, engaged in farming, and raised boys and girls. His descendants became the sons of Kumano and lived in peace."

1929 Japan published the book Xu Fu; After Wakayama County, in order to protect Xufu historic site, the "Heritage Preservation Society" was established. 1930, to commemorate Xu Fudong's crossing, a commemorative meeting of "Fu Lai Xu 2000 Festival" was held. In addition, there was a saying in Japanese history that "the study of Japan began with Xu Fu" (see The Original Secretary), which shows Xu Fu's influence and position in Japan. Therefore, there is a poem saying, "After the shore wind is strong, the villagers still talk about Qin Xu." 3,000 boys and girls who went to sea, do you know what you did at that time? "

Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

Below Penglai Pavilion, there is a "fairy bridge" with exquisite structure and unique shape, which is the legendary place where the Eight Immortals crossed the sea.

The Eight Immortals are (Li Tie Guai Li), Han Zhongli () Zhang, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu. The stories of the Eight Immortals are mostly found in the records of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties. There are many images of them in Yuan Zaju, but their names are not fixed. It was not until the Ming Dynasty, in Wu Yuntai's Biography of Eight Immortals in Dongyuan, that they were confirmed to be the above eight people. According to legend, Tie Guai Li's surname is Li Mingxuan. When he met the old gentleman, he got the word. Its wandering soul is attached to a starving person, unkempt and unkempt. After being sprayed with water, it leans against a bamboo pole and becomes an iron bar, so it is called Tie Guai Li. It is said that Li Hanzhong is Li Zhong's right to become famous. Inspired by Tie Guai Li, he went up the mountain to learn Taoism. After going down the mountain, fly swords to cut tigers and collect gold for the public. Finally, I ascended to heaven with my brother Jane on the same day and went to Lv Chunyang. Zhang has been hiding in Zhongtiao Mountain for a long time, and often rides a white donkey backwards for tens of thousands of miles a day. He Xiangu was originally a woman from Zengcheng, Guangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. She became an immortal when she was fourteen or fifteen. Action flies, go to the mountains to collect fruit every day and wait on my mother. According to the legend of Lan Caihe, Xu Jian, whose real name is Xu Jian, traveled around the world with one foot in boots and one foot exposed, holding a clapper. Lv Dongbin, a pure Yoko, is said to be a Jingzhao person in the Tang Dynasty. She wandered the Jianghu twice as a scholar. When she met Zhong Liquan, she was awarded the alchemy. He once lived in seclusion in Zhong Nanshan and other places, and then traveled around, claiming to answer people's questions. Legend has it that he used to chop jiaozi in Jianghuai, get cranes in Yueyang and get drunk in the inn. Han Xiangzi, who is said to be the nephew of Hanyu nationality, is a sex offender. In early winter, he let the peony blossom in a few days, and each flower has a poem. According to legend, Cao Guojiu was afraid of being tied down because of his brother's excessive behavior, so he distributed wealth to help the poor and went up the mountain to practice. Later, Han Zhongli and Lv Dongbin introduced Xianban.

It is said that one spring, after the Eight Immortals traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Laoshan and Penglai, they drank and had fun in Penglai Pavilion and prepared to cross the ocean. At this time, the leader Zhang said, "It's all because my brother is incompetent and has failed all the gods' entrustment. First, I didn't prepare Upright; second, I didn't tie a bamboo raft. If I want to cross the sea, I have to rely on everyone to show their magical powers! " After hearing this, the seven immortals said in unison, "Is it not easy for our world-famous Eight Immortals to cross the East China Sea?" I saw Han Zhong, who was shirtless and bare-bellied, throw away the bus banana fan in his hand to cover the moon and collect fog and clouds, and read, "Fuck Fan Kun, fuck Fan Kun, and the nine colors are bright. Take me across the sea to the end of the world with the help of the east wind. " After reading it, Han Zhongli jumped into the fan, which fluttered with the wind like a floating cloud. Tie Guai Li also couldn't wait to take the gourd down, saying, "The gourd is sharp. I rode the East China Sea 33,000 times a day, and it was foggy." Say that finish riding a treasure gourd. The gourd flew up and took him away with Han Zhong. Then, the sanctimonious Lv Dongbin carries a sword on his back and holds the dust in his hand; Handsome and graceful Han Xiangzi, blowing the jade emperor; Clever and wise Lan Caihe holds a big flower basket in his hand; Cao Guojiu, wearing a gauze hat and official clothes, holds a jade plate; Graceful He Xiangu, with pink lotus in his hand, went across the ocean with his own treasure and went to Ling Bo. Seeing that all seven people had crossed the sea safely, Zhang held a fishing drum with a big smile on his face and knocked three times. He sang, "Hey-singing with a fishing drum, telling the donkey to get out of the nest quickly, tighten his belt and get a saddle, and take me across the sea quickly." With the sound of fishing drums, the donkey plopped out and stood in front of Zhang. Zhang jumped over, sat on the donkey's back and held the fishing drum. The donkey stepped on the rosy clouds, raised its hoof eastward and joined the Seven Immortals. This is how the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers.
