Those who have been to Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake, please come in (satisfaction will add points).

Dongting Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in China. There is a lush and evergreen hill in the center of the lake called Dongting Mountain, hence the name Dongting Lake. The total area of the lake area is about 18000 square kilometers. To the south of the lake is Hunan Province, and to the north is Hubei Province. During the flood, Wang Yang was like a sea, with an area of 3,900 square kilometers and a volume of120 billion cubic meters. Xiangjiang River, Zishui River, Yuanshui River and Lishui River meet in the south, Songzi River, Taiping River, Lianhuachi River and Diaoxian River connect with the Yangtze River in the north, and the lake finally joins the Yangtze River in Chenglingji, Yueyang. It is like a natural reservoir, holding four waters, swallowing the Yangtze River, regulating floods and controlling Chu and Wu.

The name of Dongting Lake has many interpretations. There are records of "Cloud Dream" in Historical Records, Zhou Li, Erya and other ancient books. Dream means "Hu Ze" in Chu language at that time, which is similar to the word "Sui". The first year of the Spring and Autumn Period and Zheng's dream in Jiangnan. Another cloud said, "It is scheduled for four years, and Zi Chu will wade into the river and enter the cloud." "Hanyang Zhi" said: "The cloud is in Jiangbei and the dream is in Jiangnan." Together, they are collectively called Yunmeng. At that time, Yunmengze covered an area of 40,000 square kilometers. Geography Today Interpretation said: "It is an ancient cloud dream to the east of qi zhou, to Zhijiang in the west, to Jingshan in the south and to the grassland in the north." Zi Xufu of Sima Xiangru said, "A dreamer can travel eight or nine hundred miles." In the late Warring States period, Yunmengze was divided into north and south due to siltation, and the north of the Yangtze River became a swamp, while the south of the Yangtze River was still a vast lake. From then on, it is no longer called Yunmeng, but Dongting Lake, because there is a famous Junshan in the lake, formerly known as Dongting Mountain. "A Brief Introduction to ChristianRandPhillips Temple" said: "Dongting is one of the immortal caves, and it is called Dongting. "Later people call it Dongting Lake, because of its Wang Yang, flooding, nothing to lose. This is the origin of the name of Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake, with clear water and vast sea, has been recorded and described countless times throughout the ages. During the Warring States Period, the great poet Qu Yuan repeatedly recited the beautiful Dongting Lake in his poems, such as "going up to Dongting Lake and going down to Dongting Lake" to express his grief; In Xiang Jun, "chasing the west Dongting"; In "Mrs. Xiang", "The autumn wind blows, and the waves fall under the leaves in the Dongting". In the poems Xiang Jun and Xiang Lady, according to folklore, Qu Yuan described Dongting Lake as one of the haunts of immortals: a pair of beautiful love gods, cruising on the blue waves of Dongting Lake in the autumn wind, riding a light Guizhou boat and playing beautiful flutes. Xiang Jun used lotus, fragrant branches, Du Heng, purple shell, osmanthus tree, magnolia flower, magnolia flower and Ficus pumila, which are special products in Dongting area, and built a fragrant palace in the water to welcome Mrs Xiang.

Dongting Lake is not only beautiful, but also known as the land of plenty. The lake is rich in rice and the lake is rich in fish and shrimp. It has been a famous freshwater fish producing area in China since ancient times. Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Fish in Dongting": "Fish in Dongting can be picked up, but it is even worse if it is not fake. Noisy as mosquitoes before the rain, flies after the autumn. " Visible fish. Today, the lake is rich in 100 aquatic products, such as carp, crucian carp, bighead carp, silver carp, mandarin fish, anchovies, shrimps, crabs, turtles, eels, loaches and mussels, as well as rare baiji dolphins. The biggest fish in Dongting is sturgeon, weighing 200-300 Jin; The smallest and most valuable thing is whitebait. Dongting whitebait is quite famous in history. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Baling County Records", "Whitebait leaves Lushan Junshan Lake, and its small talent is full of inches. Those who see black spots are better, and those who bake with fire are better than those who cook in the sun. Noodles fish are produced elsewhere, and two or three inches to four or five inches are cheap. It is produced in winter and summer, and the water in summer is not as hot as in winter. " It is said that when yongzheng emperor and Emperor Qianlong successively went to the south of the Yangtze River, they both tasted whitebait and spoke highly of it. Whitebait swims in the slow-flowing place of Qingshui grass beach. It is silvery white, transparent, round and strip-shaped, without scales and thorns, with tender meat, rich in protein and extremely delicious, and it is a treasure on the table.

Lotus Lake, the "lake in the lake" in Dongting Lake, is rich in Xiang Lian, which is famous at home and abroad. It is full of grains and fresh and tender meat, and it has been regarded as the treasure of lotus in past dynasties. Whenever the lotus is in full bloom, the lotus leaves all over the lake set off graceful flowers, elegant and noble. "The mud never sticks, and the ripples are clear." Rowing and lotus picking has become a major tourism project.

Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake not only has beautiful scenery, but also has many famous treasures, among which Junshan tea is very famous and has been listed as tribute tea since the Tang Dynasty. Junshan Yinzhen tea was picked when the tea tree just germinated and made through more than ten processes. The inside is orange and covered with a layer of white hair, so it has an elegant name-gold inlaid jade. After soaking, all the tea leaves began to rush to it and then slowly sank. Finally, all the tea leaves stand firmly at the bottom of the cup, piled green, like swords and spears, like unearthed tender bamboo shoots, which is indeed a "wonder in tea." The entrance is fragrant, but the teeth and cheeks are fragrant.

The ancients summarized the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake for a long time, including Autumn Moon in Dongting Lake, Return to Sail from the Far Pu, Pingsha Wild Goose, Sunset in Fishing Village, Snow on the River and the Sun Scene, Moon Shadow, Cloud Shadow and Snow Shadow in Eight Scenes of Dongting Lake in Qing Dynasty.

Legend of junshan

Looking out from Yueyang Tower, the island exposed on the lake is the famous Junshan Mountain on Dongting Lake. Junshan Mountain, also known as Xiangshan Mountain or Dongting Mountain, is just across the water from Yueyang Tower. Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, compared Dongting Lake, a "blue sky", to a white silver plate and Junshan to a green snail in the silver plate. "Look at the Dongting landscape, there is a green snail in the silver plate." Look at Yueyang Tower. This metaphor is very vivid.

Junshan is a long island, which consists of 72 peaks. Although Junshan is small, the scenic spots and historical sites and fairy tales are beautiful.

According to legend, in ancient times, Dongting Lake had no islands. Whenever there are strong winds and white waves, the ships coming and going have nowhere to stop, and they are often swallowed up by bad waves, and the local people are miserable. This incident aroused the sympathy of 72 underwater snail girls. Reluctantly, they took off their snail shells and formed an island. Later, together, it became today's Junshan. 72 peaks on Junshan Mountain were made by 72 snail girls.

It is also said that more than 4000 years ago, Qin Shihuang visited the south, and his beloved two princesses arrived later, and the ship was blocked by the wind and waves in Dongting Mountain. Suddenly I heard that the Jade Emperor died in Cangwu (now Wuzhou, Guangxi), and the second princess was heartbroken. She held the bamboo and looked south. The bamboo shed tears and showed spots, so it became the "Feixiang Bamboo" growing in the north of Junshan, also called "Spotted Bamboo". The second concubine also died of grief in this burial, so there is a tomb of the second concubine at the east foot of Junshan. There is a folk poem saying: "The Jade Emperor's southern tour does not return it, and the second concubine is resentful. At that time, I cried badly. Until now, bamboo is still in class. " In front of the second concubine's tomb, there is a stone tablet of "Yu's second concubine's tomb", and there are stone pillars beside it, engraved with reliefs such as Qi, Lin, lion and elephant. A pair of stone pillars in front of the tomb are engraved with a couplet: "Your princess is immortal, and mangosteen has tears." The second princess is called Princess Jun and Princess Xiang. In memory of them, Dongting Mountain was changed to Junshan Mountain, also known as Xiangshan Mountain. It is said that this is the origin of the names of Junshan and Xiangshan.

Interestingly, Junshan also has the legend of infighting in history. According to legend, the first emperor was furious when Qin Shihuang toured the world and the boat crossed Junshan. He said, "It should have been calm. Who is so bold and dares to make waves? " Then he asked around, "Where is this?" The courtiers replied that it was Junshan. Hearing this, the first emperor became more and more angry and said, "I am the only king in the world." How can a mountain be called a king? " He ordered three thousand torturers to cut down all the trees on the mountain and seal the mountain on a stone wall. Today, you can also see a stone seal on the stone wall by the lake, which is 1 m long and 0.8 m wide. The handwriting is indistinguishable, which seems to be the word "forever sealed", commonly known as "closing the mountain".

The Book of Liu Yi Jing on Junshan was carved by later generations according to Li's Biography of Liu Yi in Tang Dynasty. Liu Yi is a scholar, and Lu and Yu have a tearful shepherdess. She claimed to be the daughter of the Dragon King in Dongting, and stayed here because of her husband's abuse, so she prayed for Liu Yi to send a message to the Dragon King from the dry well, hoping to be rescued to the Dragon Palace as soon as possible. Liu Yi came to Junshan, found a dry well and went straight to the Dragon Palace, completing the task of delivering books. After the Dragon Lady was saved, she married Liu Yi. The existing "Six Arts Classics" is unique in architecture at the end of Junshan Longshe Mountain. Wellhead diameter 1m, well depth 10m. There is a sculpture of Poseidon holding a sword on the wall of the shaft, which is said to be Liu Yi's guide. 5 meters away from the well, there is a ramp extending into the well. On both sides of the ramp, there are reliefs of soldiers and crabs. As soldiers and generals, Liu Yi is welcomed to the lake.

There is also a big Pingshan on Junshan Mountain, where Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao led the peasant rebels to camp in the first year of Shaoxing, Song Dynasty. At that time, poor fishermen who could not bear the oppression of the government rose up here, built water towns, built warships and haunted the 800-mile Dongting. At present, there are still historical sites such as junshi cave, finger table and pot of ten thousand people on junshan mountain.

In addition, there is Xuanyuantai on Dongting Mountain, which is said to be the place where the Yellow Emperor cast the tripod. There is a dumpling shooting platform, where Xiao Houyi is said to shoot dumplings. Jiuxiangshan legend is rich in wine-flavored vines, which can brew long-lived wine. During the Han Dynasty, Dong Fangshuo once drank here. Langyin Pavilion was named after Lv Dongbin's poetry here.

Yueyang Xiatian Building

Yueyang Tower is located in the west corner of Yueyang Ancient City, with Baling Mountain in the east, Dongting Lake in the west, Yangtze River in the north and Sanjiang in the south. It is magnificent and extraordinary. It is also called "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang and Wang Tengting in Nanchang. Since ancient times: "Dongting is the world's water, Yueyang is the world's building"; "There are three thousand Li on the knee. It's all in Yueyang Tower.

Yueyang Tower is located in the west corner of Yueyang Ancient City, with Baling Mountain in the east, Dongting Lake in the west, Yangtze River in the north and Sanjiang in the south. It is magnificent and extraordinary. It is also known as the "Three Famous Buildings in the South of the Yangtze River" with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang and the Rattan in Nanchang. Since ancient times, it has been known as "Dongting is the world's water and Yueyang is the world's building"; "There are three thousand Li on the knee. It's all in Yueyang Tower.

According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, it was once a parade platform for the training of the water army by Lu Su of Wu State. Because the Dongting Lake in front of Yueyang Tower is vast and calm, and there happens to be a hill on the shore of the lake, which is really a good place for training and military parade. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su was ordered by Sun Quan to station 10,000 troops in Baqiu (now Yueyang). At the foot of Baqiu Mountain in the throat of Dongting Lake, on the west wall of the lake, there is a military reading building for training and reviewing the water army. This military reading building is the predecessor of Yueyang Tower.

In the fourth year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 7 16), Zhang Shuling, secretary of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, said that he had fallen into Qiuzhou, so he expanded the Ximen Building into a pavilion, first named it "South Building" and later renamed it "Yueyang Building".

The perfect combination of "Dongting is the world's water and Yueyang is the world's building", with its majestic momentum and long historical connotation, makes it a scenic spot for poets and poets after the Tang Dynasty, and gradually forms a special meaning with the main tradition of worrying about the country and helping the world. Meng Haoran, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and other famous poets in the Tang Dynasty all went upstairs to recite poems and compose poems. Among them, Du Fu's famous sentence "Climbing Yueyang Tower" is the first song of this tradition. There is a poem saying, "I've heard about Dongting Lake for a long time, and now I'm on this tower. Wu Chu Southeast v. I can see the world floating endlessly. There is no news from my friends or relatives. I am old and sick, drifting in a boat. There are wars and mountains to the north of this wall, and how can I not cry by this railing? "If Meng Haoran's" Clouds and dreams have risen again and Yueyang City has been besieged "shows the grief and indignation of the poor for dereliction of duty, then Du Fu's poems, with overwhelming power, have merged the hearts of a generation of poets and the fate of the country in the 800-mile waves.

In the fourth year of Northern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1044), Teng stayed in Baling (Yueyang) to rebuild Yueyang Tower, and wrote a letter to Fan Zhongyan, a famous politician and writer at that time, asking him to write "The Story of Yueyang Tower". Subsequently, Su Shunqin, a poet and calligrapher, was invited to write, and Shao Mao, a sculptor, carved words. Therefore, Tenglou, Fan Ji, Su Xun and Shao can become the "four wonders" of Yueyang Tower.

More than 900 years have passed since the Song Dynasty, and the present Yueyang Tower was rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Yang Yue Lou Ji, carved by Su Shushao, has also been replaced by Zhang Zhao, a calligrapher in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, but this famous work still shines in Zhu Tian.

"To view it, Baling wins, in Dongting Lake. Take a distant mountain, swallow the Yangtze River, and make a vast soup, boundless; It's sunny in the morning and cloudy at night. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower. " Fan Zhongyan not only vividly described the scenery around Yueyang Tower, but also expressed the magnificence of Dongting Lake and the magnificence of Yueyang Tower, which further promoted Du Fu's spirit to a new height. The famous sentence "Worry about the world first, then enjoy the world" expresses the lofty feelings of caring about the country and the people and taking the world as one's duty, which has become a concentrated portrayal of the spiritual world of China's progressive intellectuals. The name of Yueyang Tower is Yizhang, which is a cultural scene and a cultural scene.

Today's Yueyang Tower is a unique brick-wood structure with four columns and three floors and a cornice helmet. Walking into the building, I saw the inscriptions of celebrities from all over the world. The pillars on the second floor are engraved with famous sentences of Meng Haoran and Du Fu, and twelve carved rosewood screens are in the middle. Zhang's "Yueyang Tower" is eye-catching and enlightens tourists to ponder. There are two auxiliary pavilions on both sides of the main building: one is Sanzui Pavilion named after the mythical figure Lv Dongbin Sanzui Yueyang Tower; One is Xianmeiting, which is said to be named after a stone slab with plum blossom pattern was dug underground during the maintenance of Yueyang Tower in the late Ming Dynasty. Near the building are Lu Su Tomb, Xiao Qiao Tomb, Yueyang Confucian Temple and Ci Shi Building.

Poyang Lake (in Jiangxi Province)

"Rainbow sells raindrops and colorful clouds sell colorful clouds. Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color. Fishing boats sing late, and the coast of Peng Li is poor. . . . . . "In Preface to the Poems of Tengwangge, Wang Bo showed the world an endless Poyang Lake with water and sky connected. On a sunny day, floating gold leaps, and boats send birds; When it rains, the sea of clouds is boundless and the wind and waves are high; It's sunny in the morning and cloudy at night. For thousands of years, Poyang Lake has nurtured Jiangxi people and attracted many tourists with its magnificence.

The Yangtze River is like a long vine. At the junction of its middle and lower reaches, there is a huge gourd hanging, which is wide in the south and narrow in the north. It is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, in the north of Jiangxi. This is Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. Poyang Lake has vast smoke and clear water. Accept water from five rivers, such as Ganjiang, Fuhe, Xinjiang, Xiushui and Raohe, and flow northward into the Yangtze River and into the sea. The sparkling rivers, scattered lakes and dammed lakes form a centripetal water network-Poyang Lake water system.

Poyang Lake ranges from Hukou in the north to Sanyang in the south, with a length of 1 10 km. From Guancheng in the west to Boyang in the east, it is about 70 kilometers wide. It is wide in the south and narrow in the north, and looks like a gourd. The long neck of the gourd is a long and narrow harbor leading to the Yangtze River.

The water level of Poyang Lake fluctuates with the seasons, and the lake surface extends about 1000 km. The largest amount of lake water is from March to July, because the precipitation in Jiangxi is the largest in spring and summer. In autumn and winter, the lake surface can be reduced by 1/7 to 1/6, leaving only a few waterways. The lake beach is bare and lush with green grass, forming a spacious lakeside area, which is an ideal wintering place for winter migratory birds. Therefore, in the south of Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, there is a world-famous "rare bird kingdom"-Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve.

Xieshan area 10

The scenery on the lake is the best in the "gourd neck" area of Xipo Lake. There are steep cliffs and beautiful scenery here. Deep in the "neck" and not far from the mouth of the lake in the north, there is a small stone island called Dagushan (also known as Dagushan), which stands out from the blue waves and is far opposite to another stone island in the Yangtze River. This has caused many poets in the past dynasties to think about their own travel, especially Gu Kuang's poem "Dagushan is far away from Xiaogushan, and the bright moon shines on the Dongting and returns to the passenger ship" ("Xiaogushan"), which is the most profound and meaningful.

Dagushan is also called "Shoe Mountain" because it looks like a huge shoe floating in the blue waves from a distance. It is about 70 meters higher than the lake, and its circumference is more than 0/00 meters. It has towering peaks and beautiful cliffs. It was called "Penglai Fairy Island" in ancient times. The mountains are tall and straight, the trees are lush, and the forest is dotted with a beautiful ancient building-ceiling palace, magnificent halls and magnificent statues. On weekdays, the sound of bells and drums and Brahma music in the morning is fascinating. Looking around the mountains, we can see that the vast Poyang Lake is shrouded in clouds and sparkling water, and Lushan Mountain in the west is beautiful. In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yunde once wrote a poem praising: "Whoever cuts green hibiscus will plant Penghu alone. Divide the five old clouds equally, and Jiujiang is far away. The sun and the moon * * * throughput, misty clouds flow each other. Vigorously block the tide, starting from the sky. "

There is also a local myth and legend about Hudao Xieshan. It is said that there was a fisherman named Hu Qing in ancient times. When he was fishing on the lake, he met his elder sister-in-law in Tiantang Yaochi, and later fell in love and got married. After the fisherman Sheng Tai learned about this, he wanted to rob his aunt. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he sent heavenly soldiers to take the elder sister-in-law away, and Sheng Tai took the opportunity to catch Hu Qing. Sister-in-law dropped an embroidered shoe from the sky to hold Shengtai and his gang down, and this embroidered shoe became a mountain of shoes. Xieshan, also known as Dagushan, probably originated from this.

In the southwest of Xieshan, there is a mountain pass that extends into the lake. There is an isolated stone pier at the front of the mouth, which is about 16 meters high and about1-12 meters thick, like a big frog with its mouth facing Poyang and its back facing Lushan, clamoring for squatting on the lake beach. Like the inclined mountain, it is an unfinished "lake silicon" swallowed by lake waves. The side facing the lake is slapped by the waves, and the lower part gradually retreats inward, and the upper part is prominent and suspended on the lake. From a distance, it looks like an eager frog, really lifelike.

Shi Shen zhong yun

At the intersection of Poyang Lake and Yangtze River, that is, the southeast bank of Hukou, Shi Zhongshan stands tall. Although its height is no more than 50 meters, it faces dangerous cliffs and towering peaks, looking from the ship. If connected with the sky, Shi Zhongshan is actually not a mountain, but two mountains, both of which are made of limestone. There is a cave in the lower part, which looks like a bell, facing the deep pool. The wind and waves, water and stones collide, and the sound is like Hong Zhong, hence the name "Shi Zhongshan". The two mountains are divided into north and south, and the distance is less than1000 m. The one in the south near Poyang Lake is called Zhongshan. The one in the north near the Yangtze River is called Zhongshan. These two mountains are collectively called "Shuangzhong Mountain". Climbing the two mountains and overlooking the rivers and lakes, the waves are vast and the sky is high. Zhou Zhulun presents a unique landscape of "cool waves under the water forest and dangerous peaks between mountains and clouds", which is magnificent.

Among the two Zhongshan Mountains, the famous Xiazhong Mountain stands proudly on the bank of Poyang Lake in the Yangtze River, just like a lock hanging in front of the mouth of the lake, so it is called the "Jianghu lock key". Every eventful autumn, it has become a battleground for military strategists. When the world is peaceful, tourists will flow in an endless stream and become tourist attractions. The pavilions on the mountain are exquisite and the cloisters are tortuous. These buildings have beautiful structures and picturesque layout changes. The "Jiangtian Pavilion" faces the Yangtze River, and the "Daxiong Hall" stands on the top of the mountain. "Lock the Jiangting Pavilion", "Return to the Hometown Villa", "Huai Su Pavilion", "Listening to the Road Overlooking the Yuxuan" and "Yunshaozhai" were all built according to the situation. They are patchwork from top to bottom, with winding paths leading to a secluded place, decorated with courtyards and flower walls.

Xiazhong Mountain is not only beautiful in artificial gardens, but also more attractive in natural beauty. The vast fog in front of the mountain and the surging Yangtze River water make the outline of the mountain look particularly rough. If you pass by the foot of Shi Zhongshan by boat, you will see the red rock standing on the wall, the pine trees on the rock wall soaring into the sky, the submerged rocks are beautifully photographed by the waves, and rows of deep and tortuous caves face the water, as if leading to a deep distance. If you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see the mighty Yangtze River, rushing thousands of miles, and the Wan Chuan of Poyang Lake is one, spewing out. At the intersection of the river and the lake, the waterline is clear, the river is turbid, and the lake is clear, drawing a wonderful boundary with completely different water colors.

Shi Zhongshan, with its magnificent and beautiful scenery, attracted scholars of all ages and left many poems and inscriptions. In particular, Su Shi, a great writer, sailed a boat at night, moored under a cliff, visited Shi Zhongshan and wrote the famous Shi Zhongshan, which later became a masterpiece.

Nanshan hideyoshi

In Poyang Lake near duchang county, there is a tall and beautiful Nanshan, like a magnificent pillar, standing in the blue waves. Su Dongpo once admired Nanshan and wrote a famous poem "Crossing Duchang":

There are 10,000 lighthouses in duchang county of Poyang Lake. People don't cross the South Mountain, but the east wind blows the old peach blossoms.

Nanshan faces Duchang County across the sea. Now, between the county seat and Nanshan, a long stone embankment has been built across the surface of Poyang Lake. Rainbow-like long dikes lead to smooth roads, and people can safely walk to Nanshan without sighing that "people don't cross the mountains and rivers".

The scenic spots in Nanshan are mainly famous for wild old rocks and wild old springs. According to "Duchang County Records", "Wild old rock springs are on Nanshan Mountain. According to legend, in the Han Dynasty, an old man lived under a rock, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the south. He wants to lift it, but the old man can't talk. Later generations named it' Wild Old Stone' because of its name. There is a stone stream under the rock and a spring in the middle, which is clean and clear, although it is dry or not. Su Shi, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, tasted this place and enjoyed its spring. He carved the word' wild old spring' on the rock, which is famous for its spring rock. "

Near Yelaoquan, there is a boulder shaped like a round chair, which is the "turning platform". According to legend, Xie Lingyun, a famous scholar in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, once read scriptures on this boulder, hence the name. There is an ancient Nanshan Temple on the platform, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and was originally named "Yin Qing Temple". In the seventh year of Xining in Song Dynasty (A.D. 1074), it was renamed "Yin Qing Temple". Huang Tingjian, a famous poet and calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, once visited Nanshan and inscribed "Yin Qing Temple". The existing houses were rebuilt in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in Qing Dynasty.

Rare bird kingdom

Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve is centered on wucheng town in Yongxiu County, and nine lakes in Poyang Lake are under the jurisdiction of Yongxiu, Xing Zi and Xinjian counties, with a total area of 224 square kilometers.

Poyang Lake is a huff and puff lake. During the flood season from April to September every year, the lake rises, with a maximum area of 4,600 square kilometers. At this time, Poyang Lake is a piece of Wang Yang, and aquatic organisms such as fish, shrimp, snails, mussels and aquatic plants proliferate in large quantities. June 5438+00 to March of the following year is the dry season, and the water level drops greatly, and the lake area is reduced to about 500 square kilometers, forming a large area of lake beach, grass island, swamp wetland and shallow lake. After the water recedes, aquatic plants, snails and mussels will become rich food for migratory birds. Therefore, in late autumn and early winter (165438+ 10), thousands of pairs of migratory birds fly from Siberia, Mongolia, Japan, Korea, Northeast China and Northwest China to spend the winter with wild ducks, herons and mandarin ducks. They settled here at first until the end of March. Today, there are more than 200 species and millions of birds in the nature reserve, including more than 20 rare birds, making it the largest bird sanctuary in the world. What is particularly gratifying is that the largest group of cranes, white-naped cranes, white-headed cranes and gray cranes in the contemporary world has been found here, with a total number of more than 4,000. 1989 More than 2,600 white cranes were found, accounting for 95% of the total number of white cranes in the world. Therefore, Poyang Lake is called "the world of white cranes" and "the kingdom of rare birds".

White crane is a rare bird among rare birds, belonging to the world rare birds. She is a large wading bird, with a body length of 135 cm, white feathers and only black front wings, so it is also called "black-sleeved crane". It has a long brown knife-shaped mouth and long pink legs. It is monogamous and has a life span of over 70 years. Therefore, it is deified as a "crane" by China people and becomes a symbol of happiness and good luck.

Three cranes are a family, because a pair of adult cranes lay two eggs every year. It is said that this is a way of elimination for the crane itself, and it is used to living as an "only child". In this way, the parents of the white crane flew more than 5 thousand kilometers with a young crane and came to Poyang Lake for the winter. When the weather is fine, hundreds of white cranes fly from the lake, and crows chase and dance in pairs. Sometimes, they form a long snake array, which is1.200m long and looks as beautiful as a white fairy.

Other rare birds here include storks, black storks, bustards, cygnets, spoonbills, mandarin ducks, pelicans, white geese and other rare birds.

Because of the dense birds in nature reserves, we can often see the spectacular scenery of "Yun Zheyue is covered when flying, but the grass by the lake is not seen when setting". Therefore, it has become the best place for Chinese and foreign tourists to watch birds in winter.
