In ancient China, travel in mountains and rivers was the behavior of a small number of literati who flaunted their mental status. But now, sightseeing tour has been ordinary people’s thing. It is becoming more bizarre and colorful, because of the huge economic interests.
Since ancient times, travel in mountains and rivers is not only a mental state of man;actually,it includes more about harmony between man and nature and the traditional landscape ideas of China.with the development of human civilization and the acceleration process, travel in mountains and reverses changing and updating,and becomes absurd.
With the high development of modern civilization, travel in mountains and rivers has been changed. On one hand,the material economy is rich,so travel in mountains and rivers is becoming convenient and tourism has become an industry,sometimes,we who are slavish and blundering are passive to travel;on the other hand,ther are many man-made landscapes in our natural world remolded by human civilization; we make a sightseeing tour more and more like man-made puppet,travel without meaning and spirit.The wise man loves mountain,because mountain is like a beautiful picture in the eyes of wise man,and the benevolent man loves water,because water is endless pleasures in the eyes of benevolent man.People cannot see “landscape” in a sightseeing tour.Whether there is “landscape” in our heart without landscape in the natural world.
