Chapter 628 The Clash of Civilizations
"Haibo, I heard there are wild boars in your mountains. How about we go to the mountains together sometime?"
After three rounds of drinks, Mr. Du looked at Zhang Haibo and made this request.
Zhang Haibo was a little surprised. He didn't expect his master to be so energetic.
I just arrived at my hometown, and I want to go to the mountains for a walk? Is there some secret in the mountains of my hometown that I don’t know about? This possibility is not impossible.
However, Zhang Haibo felt that his hometown was very ordinary. There were only mountains and various stones and trees in the mountains.
Walnut trees, persimmon trees, pepper trees, nothing else special.
Du Lao said: "I just want to go to the mountains to take a look, I have no other ideas, to see the mountains and understand the Tao. Every mountain has its own unique mountain range. Feeling the changes of the earth can help us improve our cultivation. This is to understand the cultivation with the heaven and earth."
Zhang Haibo nodded gently and said, "Master, you are right. I have never thought about it seriously before. After all, I have lived here since I was a child, and I am used to the mountains here."
It’s just an ordinary landscape, and after looking at it for a long time, I feel that it has no special features.
Maybe to outsiders, there is a feeling of enlightenment, this is the joy of traveling, in fact, traveling is,
From a place where you are bored, to another place where others are bored!
Seeing the scenery and relaxing your mind is also a way of relaxing that combines work and rest. Many people like to travel after work just to enjoy the free and easy life between heaven and earth.
But in real life, there are certain constraints everywhere.
Where is the real elegance?
There are inner constraints, and of course there are also psychological and family relationship obstacles, so life is really not easy.
……
In the afternoon, after bidding farewell to his parents, wife and daughter, Zhang Haibo took his master into the mountains.
Three miles away from here, there is a man-made reservoir with a corridor and an octagonal pavilion next to the reservoir. Many people come here to play in the water in the summer.
Next to the reservoir, there is a naturally formed medium-sized hill.
The top of the mountain happened to be flat, so the local township enterprises invested in building an antique-style building complex here. Many Taoist statues, as well as paintings and sculptures of other celebrities, are enshrined in the ancient buildings.
It can be said that this place is a well-known tourist scenic spot.
Old Du stroked his beard and looked up at the sky. The breeze was gentle and the clouds were light, and the smile on his face became even more indifferent.
"This place is nice. Is that place in the distance a hotel?"
A large hotel has been built in the distance, close to the highway, and next to the hotel there is an artificial garden rockery.
Zhang Haibo said, "I haven't been back for a long time. I didn't expect that this place has been built around the lake to create farmland. It should be said that a hotel has been built around the lake! It can be seen that someone has invested a lot of money here and wants to build a catering service platform. Master, are you interested in going in and taking a look?"
Mr. Du shook his head gently. "These are just modern concrete buildings. There is nothing to see. It is better to look at the water and mountains here and relax. Let's go back like this..."
After stopping here for more than ten minutes, Mr. Du felt it was boring.
There are traces of artificial construction everywhere.
On the road in the distance, large trucks transporting supplies are coming and going. It is really not easy to find a quiet place.
Zhang Haibo understood what his master meant, so he smiled and said, "Master, why don't I drive you into the mountains to have a look? There aren't many people there, only vast mountains and various terraced fields. There are many farmers working in the fields."
Mr. Du nodded and smiled, "Okay, let's find a mountain top with convenient transportation. I want to go to the top of the mountain and take a good look at the scenery."
The greatest pleasure of traveling is the process of climbing mountains. When you reach the top, you feel that all the hard work is worth it.
When we reached the top of the mountain,
Looking into the distance, suddenly all the mountains seem small. The mountains in the distance, surrounded by vast white clouds, are actually right under your feet, giving you a sense of insignificance.
Of course Zhang Haibo knew the direction of the road, so he drove south.
Follow the national highway to a fork in the road, then onto a concrete road, and uphill hilly area with mountains in front.
After a few minutes we reached the top of the mountain.
The transportation here is very convenient, and there is a wide platform at the top of the mountain.
Zhang Haibo parked the car on the side of the road, then walked to the side and looked towards the east. "Master, the scenery here is nice, right? Look at the mountain to the east, that's where we just went. What shape is it?"
The original one looked like a gold ingot, so the place was also called Yuanbao Mountain.
"Haha, there are canyons in the mountains and people live in the plains. This place was actually a real transportation hub in ancient times." Old Du stood there with his hands behind his back.
Look at the scenery in the distance.
More than 2000 years ago, there was an ancient county town next to the river in the distance. At that time, the Qin Dynasty army attacked and a very fierce battle broke out between the two sides!
The fierce battle between the Qin and Zhao armies left many legendary stories here.
To the east of Taihang Mountain, river civilization has a long history and ancient cities stand in the mineral areas.
More than 2000 years ago, this place had very rich shallow iron ore. People once smelted iron on a large scale nearby, and there are still ancient iron smelting sites today.
The wind was howling, and standing on the top of the mountain it felt like the wind was getting stronger and stronger!
"Master, let's go back."
Zhang Haibo looked at the scenery in the distance for a while and found it boring. Behind the mountains, there were endless and vast mountains, forming the majestic and magnificent 800-li Taihang Mountains.
It feels very good to stand on a high place and look at the scenery, and the strong wind blows.
It makes people feel like they are drifting in the sea, and they have a feeling of fighting with the sea. The waves are surging, and the people standing there resisting the waves are like small boats.
In this dangerous situation, human beings are insignificant and nature is dangerous.
A fierce conflict arose.
Humankind resists, nature attacks with destructive force, and the spirit of self-reliance erupts from deep within the human heart!
From primitive society to the present, human civilization has been inherited and developed.
Creating the world and transforming the earth, the spirit of China is resistance and struggle. This is a spirit of self-reliance and independence, and it is a complete struggle for survival!
Those Western countries, on the other hand, focus on plundering nature for survival.
Their law of survival is the most primitive law of natural selection, survival of the fittest, which is a bandit-like plunder and killing.
Chinese civilization emphasizes self-reliance and tapping into the power of humanity itself.
Adapt to the environment and create wealth.
The plunder of Western countries is the means of accumulation of capitalism. When human society developed into the new technological era, the Alliance, the most powerful Western country, still used financial means to plunder the world.
The collision of two different civilizations will naturally lead to fierce conflict in the end.
