In the September of the autumn breeze, the program group of "State of Manners" organized outdoor activities, and the target was the deep mountain of Shihuangshan. Early in the morning of September 2nd, led by Mr. Liang Zongren, the chief director of the program group, a group of fifteen people drove towards the mountain.
A group of people passionate about nature, out of the hustle and bustle of Meixian, praise the interpretation of the ancient palisade monuments speckled, in the depths of the green mountains and water, the journey will be turned into the territory of Qishan. Wheels chasing the mountain road zigzag thinking, forested peaks have to give way, dust and exhaust gas to sigh at their own back. We smelled the body odor of nature, in the accompaniment of the oblique valley lake, and nature as one, into a picture of the line board in the fall.
Out of the workplace and home affairs, like a bird flying out of the cage, leaping to the mountains. Green mountains, masking the deep village, the fleet traveled sixty kilometers, arrived at the border of Tai Bai County, Parrot Pigeon Town Yangjiahe Village, streams in the canyon first cheered up, as if in the welcome to guests from afar, the silver waves patting the rocks with cheers along the way. Nature's original atmosphere, floating in the faint smell of earth, I feel the tranquility of nature up close and personal, the primitive forest thousands of years of creation, the old vine indomitable climbing, a vigorous life line, cloudy and foggy mountains half hidden, hiding an ancient myth, and a world yearning for awe of the top of the sea of clouds.
The vehicle took a short break at Yangjiahe and Gaolong, where the photographer took a group photo for everyone and had the honor of traveling with the outdoor team from Caijiapo. Leave the new village, interlaced with layers of forest, misty rain, a group of more than ten people to the hinterland of the mountain trekking, rugged goat path, circling the mountain straight up to the depths of the white clouds. The mountain seems to be pleased, leaching rain rolled with tears of excitement, but also seems to pull up a road defense line, test the piety of the crowd, thwarted stone seeds at the foot of the time to make tripping, muddy pavement playing with slippery steps, a stumble and perhaps rolling stones like the downfall, the crowd of people care for each other shouting, the old forest echoes of caring echoes, a top of the top of the umbrella flower, in the lush anger out of the indefatigable flowers. In the end, some people exhausted, chose to stay put, we ten people teamed up, in the original old forest turn around climbing, covering the forest, everything back to nature, including each of us, without the workplace to do, and become affinity. Cloudy place can not be seen at the end of the crowd of people looking for pomegranate mountain deep hidden, green trees picking a veil to say and stop, tempting us to the top of the mountain to produce irresistible yearning.
From the mouth of local villagers to understand, pomegranate mountain is located in the village of high pier north, 30 kilometers from the parrot pigeon town, elevation 2166 meters, with the turtle mountain, Taibai mountain and other main ridge parallel. The special geographic location of Shihuang Mountain has the status of a different general mountain peak. It is the high point of the boundary between the three county districts of Taibai County, Qishan County and Chencang District. The original name of Pomegranate Mountain was Taoshan. According to legend, in ancient times, a woodcutter from Sanxian Temple in Majiang County rode a donkey to South Mountain to cut salary, and saw two old men playing games under the tree in the mountain, so he stood by and watched. One of the old man gave him a peach, he ate peaches, watching the game, suddenly feel the dusk of the darkness on the ground sitting cross-legged, a day and a night, a moment of rain and a moment of snow ...... Until he heard someone call him to wake up, see the donkeys stiff and rotten breaks, the axe handle into the not. After returning home, the family do not recognize, it turned out that he has been in the mountains for sixty years, to open the door to him has grown into middle-aged grandchildren, he knew that he had achieved the road, and go to the South Mountain, in the highest one of the top of the mountain sitting into what looks like a peach of the rocky mountain.
Later, things have changed, this giant peach looks like a pick from afar, closer look more like a fried pomegranate, so the locals call it a pomegranate mountain.
The legend of Pomegranate Mountain and the unattainable wonderful fun, become the first choice of outdoor tourism. The rain is still leaking down, wet pants and feet and shoes and socks, rain and sweat at some point in time alternated together, the open mountain field, the sound of laughter and laughter ups and downs, we forget the tiredness, ignoring the rain sound into the ear, the eyes urgently in the jungle at the end of the search for pomegranate traces of the mountain. More than an hour's journey, through the mountain gate raised by boulders and trees, an open space appeared in front of us, and incense lingered in the blue trees and forests, and the Taoshan Temple opened the lintel of the mountain to the tourists with its traditional cultural atmosphere. Isolated from the world of the deep old forest, we bowed to the immortal family's grace, continue to climb to the northeast of the mountain, the small wind whispering in the forest, pine and cypress pallid waist straightened, dense old forest withered leaves on the ground, thorns and thorns dark ambush guard, pine cones in the air swaying luscious heart, indifferent to this group of unfamiliar to the visitors. Our feet step on the pulse of the old forest thumping, from time to time inquiring about the distance, to give themselves a mutual cheer cheer, to the nature of the most beautiful scenery point praise, finally after nearly two hours of travel, arrived at the pomegranate mountain under the main peak, we forget the tired, forget the sweat loudly cheered up!
The temple is the temple of the Yellow Emperor's reverence for nature, and it is also a place of worship for the world. Kowtow thanks to the blessing of the gods statue, looking up at the summit of the pomegranate mountain, I could not help but draw a breath, the huge stone peaks pointing to the clouds, three sides of the wall is bottomless, and look at the mountain, I do not know when the man carved out of the wall on the stone eye, put on the chain, for climbing up the ladder. Just when we were dumbfounded, a side conversation of four people caught my attention! Two middle-aged man, and an old man and a young man in the eaves of the simple pergola is resting, the two middle-aged man grabbed the conversation, said: go up, not afraid, this is not the four of us just down! Back to the old man holding a walking stick, a slight smile and do not say, there is a kind of fruitful relief, which is the pilgrims climbed the highest mountain's long-cherished wish, the three or four-year-old girl, clothes wet lips a little purple, middle-aged people talking into the arms, one thing can be sure, they are three generations of faith and courage to conquer the pomegranate mountain.
Infected by the old man, we unloaded the backpack, open bladder to the wall to raise the first step of confidence. The rain-soaked stone wall can not ride the foot, the air morning floating chain early rust, holding in the hands of the cliff has become a godsend, there are two people due to fear of heights or back down. The rain seems to be blocking us close, the soles of the feet a little inattentive to step on the air, there is a risk of falling off the cliff, this is a moving move, we keep the distance, careful to change the footsteps, every climb in the heart of the step are fluttering, panicked shouts echoed through the old forest, it is a picture of the heartbreaking oversteps.
The hideous rock is like a monster, swooping down. We eight people busy but not chaotic, struggling to hold the rope, orderly walking in the wall, a step at a time alarmed, a step left a footprint, printed out the imprint of perseverance. Members of the team side by side in adversity, encourage each other, look after each other, pull each other a hand, finally we climbed to the top of the pomegranate mountain. Boulder in the clouds exploded three petals, in the middle of the rocky mountains, in 1998, Qishan, Taibai, Chencang District, each placed the boundary stone, so people say this place "a foot on the three counties," that is a unique geographic location of the pomegranate mountain recognition, cloud smoke locks the field of vision, the sea of clouds in a glance at the smallest mountains, people can not see the place of origin and the way back, temporarily reside in the three worlds! Outside of the world, leaving behind the dust to a cultivation. Sixty-two-year-old retired female teacher Li Huifang teacher, is the outdoor activities of the oldest physical strength of one of the best, big sister a bright smile, sunny, amazing perseverance so that I and other self-sigh less than the pinnacle of the wall, big sister sang the "Red Army is not afraid of long-distance journey", the heart of a passionate love of life, high on the top of the pomegranate mountain, planted in the heart of each person. The heart of the Red Army was planted in everyone's heart. The sixty-year-old man called Old Boy, who was thin and capable, took care of everyone along the way, and raised his camera to capture the heart-stopping footage of the victory song resounding through the clouds and echoing in the lush source of life. We sang for the victory, stepped on the fence of adversity, challenged the limits of perseverance, and sang a triumphant song on the Great Qinling Mountain. Entrepreneur Xu Hongbin roared Qinqiang at the cliff head, this Xifu man will be the magnificence of expanding the love of nature choose to spit it out, standing on the edge of the abyss of ten thousand feet to sing, that really . It takes courage and perseverance, and we did it. Finally, at the initiative of Mr. Liang Zongren, we stood under the red-colored peace tree, leaving behind a picture of laughter beyond ourselves with the camera!
It is often said that it is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down! Harvested the great outdoor fun, confidence in the spirit of abundance, downhill when we each grabbed the camera in the danger, laughter, cheers like the song of the birds, surrounded by the forest, to the bottom of the mountain, we have always thought that it is not a false trip.
Looking back, the pomegranate mountain standing in the smoke and rain, the large body in the Jedi overlooking the living, praying for all beings to learn to put down, laughter naturally came back. Victory footsteps unusually light, in the slopes, a line of people rushed in the rain, excessive fatigue, excessive tension, excessive happiness, in the nature of the real release away, people instead as a relief relaxed, everyone playful and more, fooling around, singing, laughing down the mountain.

The climax of the activity. We eat and drink, play to the end of the fun, in cleaning up the messy open space, farmer entrepreneurs Xu Hongbin said: "State of Manners" is not a mere program, will be resting on the site to pick up the garbage, go to the nearby Ministry of Commerce to borrow a broom to sweep the clean, so that people feel that this is the real State of Manners!" A sentence to wake up the dreamer, talent is the fire of faith, go wherever there bright. The eye-catching banner of "The State of Manners" is looking at Shijiazhuang Mountain from a distance. The sky clears up, the rain stops, and a group photo is taken under Shijiazhuang Mountain with local villagers, outdoor donkeys, and members of the State of Manners from all walks of life.
