Four. Zhongyang tourism resources

Baiwa Mountain is located five kilometers east of Zhongyang County, with beautiful peaks and towering into the sky. The mountains are green all year round and surrounded by white clouds all year round. Rare tree species "Pinus bungeana" and rare birds "brown pheasant" are also unique natural landscapes of Baiwa Mountain. According to the records of Ningxiang County in the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (1709), the "misty fairy" in the ancient eight scenic spots in Zhongyang County is located in this mountain.

There is an ancient building-Longquan Temple, which is built on the mountain and in the pine ring cypress in the depression. Its creation date is unknown. According to the records of stone tablets in the temple, it was built in the tenth year of Jin Dading (1 170), with a history of at least 800 years. After the reconstruction and expansion of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, today's towering Taoist buildings have gradually formed, which can be divided into two groups: Notre Dame de Evonne complex and Zhenwu Temple, with more than 60 halls and pavilions, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters.

The building complex of Notre Dame de Evonne is dominated by a three-story pavilion and a stage built according to the mountain situation. From south to north on the central axis, there are Fu Shan Memorial Room, Stage, Bedroom, Notre Dame Temple in Evonne and Fusang Temple in turn. On the central axis, there is a land temple in the east and laojunmiao, Sanguan Temple, Mountain Temple and Toyama Monument Pavilion in the west. Each building is interrelated, with its own courtyard and unique style.

There is an octagonal glass well in front of Notre Dame de Evonne, which is exquisite and unique in shape. The spring water is sweet and mellow, and it flows all year round without decreasing drought or increasing waterlogging. At this time, tourists rushed to drink Longquan holy water. It is said that drinking this water can eliminate disasters and cure all diseases. After sampling and testing by 1995, this water is high-quality mineral water containing strontium. Nowadays, there is a poem on the west wall of Notre Dame Hall, praising the long spring water. "The stone marrow of Lingyan gushes cold, and the water flows at the bottom of the ravine. Jade porcelain absorbs fairy liquid, and gold goes to Xiaoximing. However, it is always clear that every prosperous time is suitable for villages and does not leave famous mountains. Mid-stream drama, nothing to ask Junping when you are free. "

There is a "Jieshi Mountain House" on the east side of the building, which is named because the mountain house is naturally supported by the "Jieshi" shaped boulder. Today's "Jieshi Fang Shan" stone tablet was carved by Zhu Jiarui of Ningxiang County in the first year of Xuantong (1909). Another poem was written by Wang Jixian, a well-known calligrapher in Yongning of Qing Dynasty, in the first year of Daoguang (182 1). The poem reads: "This white tile has been here for several times, and every time I return to the car for business, I will be happy with Lin Quan and sit and watch Xia Zi, a clear breeze.". It depicts the unique "fog forest" landscape of Baiwa Mountain. After Ming Taizu's death, Wu Wang, Chu Shi of this county, lived in seclusion in this stone room and studied Taoism. He is also proficient in medicine. He had a wonderful understanding of Fu Shan's prescription and cured a businessman's incurable disease. Fu Shan heard that Wang Wu is very clever. In the 13th year of Kangxi (167), he visited Wang Wu in Jieshi Mountain House, and became close friends with Wang Wu. There are poems and stones written by Fu Shan in the mountain house, which have been lost.

In the 24th year of Qianlong (1759), a monument pavilion was built on the west side of Notre Dame. The inscription in the pavilion is the original inscription of Fu Shan's visit to Wu Wang, with romantic handwriting and vigorous brushwork. On the other side of the monument is a seven-character quatrain written by an old man in Antarctica. The handwriting is flying like a dragon and a phoenix, and the pen is flowing, which seems to be an article in one go. The monument is irregular triangle, full of natural beauty, and it is a treasure of cultural relics in Zhongyang County.

On the west side of the boulder, a cypress tree with the same root and two branches broke through the stone. Baigen is like a mosquito dragon and its trunk is like a dragonfly. For thousands of years, the momentum has not diminished and it stands proudly. The inscription of the "Twin Towers" on the boulder is still legible.

Zhenwu Temple, 200 meters southeast of Notre Dame Temple, was built in the sixth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1667). It is in the form of a quadrangle. There are five tall clay sculptures of Zhenwu Emperor, Qinglong and Baihu in the temple, which are exquisite and lifelike, and are excellent folk clay sculptures in China. There are two towering Gu Song "Panlong Pine" and "Qifeng Pine" in front of the platform in the courtyard. "Panlongsong" has a natural ditch mark 10 cm wide and 2 cm deep from the root of the tree, which extends spirally to the top. Legend has it that a dragon wound around it a long time ago, hence the name. The Seven Peaks Pine still has a bird's nest where birds live.

There are many ancient cypresses in Gu Song in Baiwa Mountain, such as Dragon Claw Pine, Phoenix Pine, Welcome Pine, Wang Kesong, Zhenshan Cypress, Chitose Cypress, Wanshouhuai, and more unknown ancient cypresses in Gu Song. Some are straight, dignified and vigorous; Some are twisted, simple and vigorous; Some are shaped like wild animals; Some are shaped like rare birds, which can be described as lifelike and natural. These masterpieces of nature have spread many magical legends since ancient times, which have aroused the imagination of countless tourists. According to legend, May 17th of the lunar calendar is Mrs. Zhao Ji's birthday. As the stage was built in the 46th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1706), the traditional temple fair will last for three days. During the temple fair every year, thousands of nearby urban and rural residents come here for sightseeing and pray for the safety of their children. It is indeed a wonderful thing that people can come to Baiwa Mountain to enjoy the natural scenery of their hometown after work. Longquan concept has been gradually valued by governments at all levels and relevant departments. With the efforts of all parties, the ancient buildings of Baikuan Mountain have been fully maintained and protected, and finally the long-abandoned Baiwa Mountain ancient site has regained its former glory.

Today, Xiaoliu Railway and National Highway 307 pass at the foot of its mountain, with superior geographical environment and convenient traffic conditions. Baiwa Mountain welcomes more and more tourists with a brand-new look.

Xianmingdong

There is a high mountain 5 kilometers south of Zhongyang County, Shanxi Province. Because it is first reflected by the sun every morning, it is called Xianming Mountain. There is a deep and endless cave on the cliff called Xianming Cave. Later, because a fairy was built in the cave, the cave was renamed Xianming Cave, and this mountain is also called Xianming Mountain. Since then, a magical story has been circulated.

Legend has it that after two immortals fled to Pingyang fox-free platform with their deer to fix the truth, they felt homesick and entrusted their dreams to a Pingyang woman. Pingyang woman immediately dreamed that a deer got into her house, and then followed her into the hole to chase the deer in her dream. The woman searched in the darkness of the cave and sucked the fairy milk in the cave. After 999 days on earth, she suddenly saw a bright spot and immediately exclaimed: "I saw light!" " The voice "You have become an immortal" fell from the sky, and then the woman sat at the mouth of the cave. So "Xianming Cave" was renamed as "Xianming Cave". In this way, the fairy deer without the concept of fixing truth on the fox platform also returned to their hometown. Since then, the land of Zhongyang has been a peaceful scene. According to this story of Lufu Ningxiang, Zhongyang folks also call it "Fulu Ningxiang".

A few years later, events occurred frequently in Baiwa Mountain and Long Hudou in the southeast of Zhongyang County. Not only the local residents were restless, but also Notre Dame Baiwa and her resident gods were restless, so she had to turn to Xianming's ancestors for help. After 999 days' tempering in Xianming Cave, the ancestors of Xianming absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, appreciated the strategy of heaven, and practiced the skill of subduing dragons and tigers, so they stretched out an arm and subdued dragons and tigers with a little trick, thus creating a Longshan in the east and a Tiger Mountain in the south of Zhongyang County. Longshan is called Wollongong and Hushan is called Hushan. In order to repay the kindness of the wise ancestor, the Virgin of Baiwa claimed the wise ancestor as her family.

According to the "Ningxiang County Records", "Xianming Cave can only accommodate one person, which is unfathomable, high or low, wide or narrow. It is said that immortals live here and pray for rain."

The entrance of Xianming Cave faces north, and there is a small hole at the entrance, which can only be passed by one person. From then on, I entered the back hole, suddenly crawled, sometimes squatted down, sometimes bent down, and sometimes stood, so I drilled south. Passing through such scenic spots as Rushi, Shouguipo, Wang Yue, Shi Wa, Optimus Prime, Rain Platform, Eagle Mouth, Grape Mountain, etc., it is about 300 meters, and it meets a big hole hall with a height of about 8 meters and a width that can accommodate more than 500 people. The top of the cave is like a lotus, and there are clues and horseshoe-shaped shallow holes looming at the bottom of the cave, so it is called "Xiemachi" and "Horseshoe Beach". There are two caves extending southward on the south wall of the main hall, which are unfathomable. According to the local villagers who have been to these two caves, there is also a hall in each cave that can accommodate about 200 people. At this point, the deeper situation of Xianming Cave has not been proved. In this cave, which has been explored for more than 300 meters, there are still relics such as stone tablets, incense burners, porcelain tiles, animal bones and wall books since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

The most popular exhibition in Xianming Cave is the wall book. Up to now, the content can be roughly divided into four parts: one is the record of praying for God and rain, the other is the record of observation, the third is the record of refuge, and the fourth is the inscription of the wise man. Now, the identifiable persons are attached as appendix 12:

Begging for rain: (1) Zhenyuan had a drought of more than 70 days on May 27, the third year. In the county seat, He Yi, Liu Nuo and Zhang Li volunteered to take water from this cave. It rained heavily on the 28th. On the 30th, more than 30 people from the same magistrate went to the cave, Liu Nuo. (Note: Tang Zhenyuan was 787 in the third year, and Jin Zhenyuan was1155 in the third year) (2) On July 27th of Chongning, Zhuang Yan Temple in Wutai Mountain was in charge of counties in various provinces. Liu, a Taoist priest in Shizhou, took water for three days, and it rained heavily on August 1st, and sent water into the cave. (Note: the Northern Song Dynasty worshiped Ning for three years 1 104)(3) In the seventh year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Ningxiang County ordered Wang Zhiyi to pray for rain here on the 28th of midsummer. (Note: Seven years of Qing Shunzhi is 1650)

Sightseeing articles: the ancient sightseeing inscriptions in Xianming Cave are rich in content and wonderful in pen and ink. They described the landscape of Xianming Cave and the beautiful environment outside the cave, and expressed journalists' interest in tourism. For example, (1) Jincheng official recovered a little, and suddenly thought of the immortal scenery, so he came here, wandered around and looked around, only to see steep mountains, steep and towering peaks, hidden spirits at high places, hidden in cliffs, natural stone chambers, exotic flowers and plants, and sacred fairy houses. Or the clouds are on the banks of Cenxi, and the fog is on the banks of the stream. When crossing the forest, a hundred birds contend, make a noise, and talk eloquently. Fire, quite open-minded, lack of observation, more than compensation, wait and pay, forget to return at dusk, looking forward to this scene, is a chaotic road, to the next question. When I was in the first place, I visited Liu and Zhang Zihong. This is the tenth day of August in the autumn of Shen Zhong's third year. (Note: Three years of worshipping Ning in the Northern Song Dynasty was 1 104) (2) In an isolated mountain, I was born in a cave, and the gods knew the way and only attracted fans. Fellow travelers He Feng and Wang En. (Note: There is no annual fee for this question)

Refuge: There is an inscription in Xianming Cave for refugees: Dajinxing will visit Dada Mongolia in six years, from Renwu Rebellion to Gengyin, and I don't know what the future holds. (Note: Daikin was established for six years, namely 1222)

Sage Ming: In April of the 23rd year of Jian 'an (2 18), the county (now a county) was sentenced by Wu Huan, and Hedong was in danger. Cao Cao immediately took military action. With his son Cao Zhang as the corps commander and Xia Houshang as the army, he led the army northward and put down the rebellion on behalf of the county. Cao Zhang crossed the Xihe River (now Zhongyang) and met the Lord of Xianming Cave. He waved his hand and left an inscription: "There are loose inside and outside the cave. If you don't look for glory, you will come out of the cave one day and dare to go with him to save Hedong. Cao Zhang's title. " The above inscription by Cao Zhang in Xianming Cave reflects that Cao Zhang witnessed the natural landscape of Xianming Cave and linked it with the lofty choice of the practitioners in Xianming Cave. In particular, he hoped that the ancestors of Xianming could break out of justice, help crusade against Wuhuan with the power of immortals, and save the dangerous situation in Hedong.
