Culai Mountain is the sister mountain of Mount Tai. Scientifically speaking, it was formed by the uplift of Mesozoic Yanshan geological movement and long-term erosion by natural forces, and its composition is mainly granite.
Of course, about the formation of Culai Mountain, people prefer the legend about her. According to legend, Ren Zhang not only loves to ride down donkeys, but also loves to make donkeys angry. Once, when Zhang came to Mount Tai, he met the goddess of Mount Tai and. Because she was dissatisfied with the fairy who praised her as the height of Mount Tai, Zhang carried many peaks and piled them together like piles of wood, so Zhang's mountain was really high. But the mountains are high and the forests are deep, which also attracts many monsters. Under the condemnation of the Jade Emperor, Zhang brandished a whip and the mountain was cut off in a large area, which was not as high as Mount Tai. Later, people called this mountain Culai Mountain.
Culai Mountain is lush with pine and cypress and beautiful scenery. Although its history and culture are not as good as Mount Tai, it is numerous. The most famous are the confidants of Li Bai and Du Fu, great poets in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Because Li Bai offended the dignitaries in Chang 'an, he sang a heartfelt song, "Let me raise a white deer on my green slope ... how can I bow and scrape to those high-ranking officials whose sincere faces will never be seen?" The age gap can't affect the mutual appreciation and like-minded between the two great poets. They traveled east together and visited the great rivers and mountains of the motherland along the way, and their friendship became deeper and deeper. It was not until they came to Culai Mountain that they had to say goodbye.
Culai Mountain is the parting place of Li Bai and Du Fu, but it can't cut off their profound friendship. "Surabaya, hamming. The eaves are thousands of miles away, and the cup is in hand! " It was the farewell that made the two great poets leave many sincere farewell poems and friends' poems on the stage of Tang poetry.
So Culai Mountain is a poetic mountain and a mountain with love!
