What is it like to ride a whale to the sky on Weibaoshan? The ancient breeze tells of a sober mind. This is actually a story from summer. After many years, I came to Weishan again for my idol Liu Yan's architectural archaeology class. It seems like ten years have passed since my last visit to Weishan. Sitting in a street tavern, I couldn't help but sigh. Back then, how could you drink cocktails in Weishan? There was only one homestay at that time, and the owner baked pizza. Yi women from the mountains would bring their children to try the pizza. I also remembered a time when I drank too much with friends in Dali and missed the high-speed train. Oh, what a story. I followed Teacher Liu up the mountain, looking at tombs, steles, pavilions, and buildings. Every plant, tree, word, and stele on Weibaoshan tells a story. The inscriptions, ink, forms, and materials can all become the language of architecture, telling the story of the building itself and revealing its legendary or tumultuous life. The architectural complex on Weibaoshan creates a grand heavenly palace using the terrain. The myth of the heavenly palace created by my idol is still expanding in my mind. Looking at the clouds in the sky, I suddenly realized that they are like the Ruyi cloud patterns on the mountain. My deepest impression of Weishan has always been the rich scholarly atmosphere. Last night, walking through the rain-soaked streets and alleys, I was once again attracted by the couplets: "Leisurely riding a crane," "Riding a whale to the sky," "Attending a meeting in the Jade Pool," "Adding a seat to the lotus platform." Death can be so romantic and fascinating. I also happened upon a funeral, with mournful music playing, like a moving performance. All night long, my mind was filled with "What is it like to ride a whale to the sky? The ancient breeze tells of a sober mind." Today, walking on Weibaoshan, listening to Teacher Liu talk about Taoist architecture, I suddenly understood. It is because of Weibaoshan. The profound influence of Taoist culture on the lives of ordinary people makes even the death of mortals seem like an ascension to immortality. I remembered the most interesting Taizi Temple, which is now filled with merchandise from "Heaven Official's Blessing." The combination of BL anime and traditional temples is truly an interesting anthropological phenomenon. Such magical inclusiveness can only be found in Yunnan, in Dali.
