I. Dong Yanzhuo Xi
Out of Chaoyang City, about three miles south of Dongshan Mountain, you can see the majestic mountains, lush ancient trees and temples. In the meantime, it extends eastward, which is better than mountains, seas, forests and springs.
In the sixth year of Tang Zhenyuan, a 50-year-old monk traveled around the world and came here to set up a temple to practice. Legend has it that at that time, the grass on the mountain was dry, and it was best to look around, so the cool and sweet spring water gurgled out of the cracks in the stone and continued for thousands of years. Later generations called this spring "Zhuoxi Spring". "East Rock Zhuoxi" is one of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang.
Yang Zhongyue, a writer in the early Qing Dynasty, described Dongyan in his poem "You Dongyan": "The light of waves and waves reflects the blue sky, and the scene of sunrise is leisurely. The peak is flat and the clouds rise, and the trees are low and the water sleeps. " Or rock is really different from the other two rocks in Chaoyang because of its precipitous, towering and broad, exquisite and interesting, and the elegance and tranquility of Beiyan, thus attracting people to enjoy it.
Climbing up the stairs around the rock, ancient trees crisscross and strange rocks stand on the wall; At the foot of the mountain is pastoral vomiting; The reservoir is green; In the distance, Sichuan is brightly lit, with a vast sky and a little sail shadow. Climbing higher and higher, the mountains are more strange and the scenery is more beautiful. Since the Tang Dynasty monks led dozens of disciples from Xuan Ying and Gao Zhi to build temples here, Dongyan Buddhism has been very popular. At present, there are three Fanyu temples on the rock: Zhuoxi Ancient Temple, Shiyan Ancient Temple and Jinding Ancient Temple. Zhuoxi ancient temple is full of clear springs, surrounded by pine and bamboo. There is a white bull cave next to the temple, and an oil bottle is engraved on the wall of the cave. It is said that the big bump was carved with fingers. There are many stone poems in front of Jinding Ancient Temple, which have been passed down to this day. Looking far from here, the wind and waves are all over the sky, and it is a hundred miles away in a blink of an eye, which makes people's brains wide open.
Second, the horse's qi
On Matian Mountain in Jingou Township, Zaopu Town, 60 miles north of Chaoyang Cotton City, there is a remnant column of an ancient temple, which is the old trace of Matian Ziqi, one of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang.
According to legend, Matian Temple was founded by Song and Wu.
Wu Fugu Ye Zi, whose father was a court assistant minister (adviser to the monarch's literature and history), admired Ma Tianshan's spiritual beauty, so he drifted into seclusion and founded the "Yuanyou Temple". Retro's father knew Su Dongpo in North Korea, so when Dongpo was relegated to Lingnan, he visited him retroactively. Dongpo wrote the words "Tingquan Stone" and "Retro Bridge" as gifts, and wrote an inscription for Retro. Wu Fugu loves Matian landscape and is buried in Matian Mountain. Now the retro grave is still faintly discernible.
Matian Mountain is secluded and deep, shaped like a crab. Climb to the old site of Matian Temple, and the mountains behind it are listed. The mountains on both sides are like crab's feet. In front of us is a piece of green land overlooking the Rongjiang River, with boats shuttling and picturesque scenery. Although the temple on the mountain is destroyed, it is full of fruit trees, flowers and stones and springs, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the Ming Dynasty, someone wrote a poem titled "Qi Zi of Martin", saying, "The empty mountain people have been gone for a long time, and they have been begging for a long journey. Strange stones move around, and the fairy family wants more when they are old. The spring water is as clear as a crab's eye, and the ridge into the golden ditch is more secluded. Seeing this is comparable to avoiding the world, the cold purple gas is no longer acceptable. " Such a spiritual practice of Cuifeng, which is far away from the urban area, can still be opened up as a resort for recuperation and summer vacation today. With the development of tourism, the long-forgotten "Martin Ziling" will surely attract people's attention again.
The dragon's head is green
One of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang, "Dragon Head Surrounding Green", is not known to most people now. In fact, it is a unique tourist attraction in Chaoyang.
The "Dragon Head Green Ring" is located in Jinpu Shuangjifeng. Shuangji Peak is two hills hundreds of meters high, protruding from the hills more than ten miles west of Miancheng. From a distance, it looks like two buns tied to the head. "Chaoyang County Records" says that "navigators regard it as a watch" (table: signs, marks), because the first thing they see from the sea is the peak of fog, so some people call it "active mountain".
Out of Miancheng West, along the highway to Jinpuguan Road Village, across the field path to the north, into a mountain pass, but there is a reservoir surrounded by blue waves. Although it is only a dozen miles away from Miancheng, the grass is deep and the trees are luxuriant, which is surprisingly quiet and lonely, making people feel like entering the deep mountains and forests. The mechanical oil winds three or four miles around the mountain road of the reservoir, and then it comes to the "Ceng Shan Ancient Temple" at the foot of Shuangji Mountain. This small temple was built in the Song Dynasty, and there is still a stone carving in front of it that records the donation made by a good woman to build the temple.
There is a green mountain road behind the temple. Climb up this path step by step, and it takes about twenty or thirty minutes to climb to the top of Shuangjifeng. Looking around, the lake, sea, mountains and rivers, beautiful countryside, panoramic view, unlimited scenery, galloping feelings, heroic spirit. From here, you can see the sail shadow of Rongjiang River to the north and the turbulent sea to the south. In the east, you can have a bird's eye view of the architecture of Tuo Island and the posture of Mayu Island. West of Xiangfu Ancient Pagoda, across Hongqiao ... Chaoyang mountains and rivers, vivid, really spectacular. Trees and lush peaks surround its feet, and the double-bun peaks are like two upturned dragon horns, so people named this scene "Dragon Head Green Ring". Qiu, a patriotic poet in modern times, climbed the Twin Peaks while giving lectures at Dongshan Academy, and wrote the quatrain of "Two Peaks over the sky, and a room hides smoke and clouds".
Four. Emerald Gorge and Glory Mountain
20 kilometers west of Chaoyangmen, a hill stands in the middle of Ye Ping, surrounded by green water, and the pagoda is towering. This is one of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang.
The "Records of Chaoyang County" compiled by Zang Xianzu, the magistrate of Chaoyang County in the Qing Dynasty, described the scene of the "Yuxia Mountain Club" as follows: "Surabaya will meet Taoxi, with two mountains between it, and there is a Range Rover Pavilion in the west." The second mountain refers to Guishan and Sheshan, hence the name Xiashan. Between the two mountains, a clear stream winds through, and a small bridge with weeping willows has a beautiful and charming scenery. SE HUN, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem about "Jade Gorge and Mountain Glory": "Qingxi winds around famous mountains, and fish are found in rocky autumn waters; Twenty years ago, in the wine shop, I heard the flute in the middle of the moon. "
The ancient pagoda on the mountain is called Xiangfu Pagoda. According to legend, when the tower was built, an ancient bottle was dug in the foundation, and there was a copper coin in it, which could not be poured out. Looking at it in the sun, there is the word "auspicious symbol" on the copper coin, so it is named "auspicious symbol". The tower was built in the second year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, and then collapsed. In the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, Zhou Guanghao abdicated in his later years and proposed reconstruction. Zhou Guanghao, a native of Xiashan, was a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and was officially appointed to Dali Temple. He was called "Lord Zhou Du". Now, Zhou Guanghao's inscription "Xiangfu Tower" is still embedded in the tower.
The nine-story Xiangfu Tower is twelve feet high, and its structure is strong, so people can't climb it. After more than 400 years of vicissitudes, it has become aging. Seen from a distance, it stands out among the hundreds of miles of flat land, which is very spectacular. You can see it standing for dozens of miles around. The morning sun rises, the sunset glow shines, the spring rain is misty, the thick clouds are low, and the scenery changes from time to time, magnificent and colorful. Every time its image appears in the hearts of villagers living abroad, it will bring out homesickness.
Nowadays, the countryside under the Xiangfu Tower is like brocade, new houses are contiguous, books are bursting, and the market is prosperous. Known as the "land of plenty, land of butter", the people have no worries about food and clothing, smiling, and cultural relics have been restored and rebuilt. "Jade Gorge Mountain Glory" is even more dazzling.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) The clear waves of the Great Lakes.
1 165 (14th year of Tang and Yuan Dynasties), a group of people from Emei Mountain appeared on the coastal beach in the southeast of Chaoyang. They brought cattle, sheep and delicious food to the coast and set up altars to offer sacrifices. There is a white and handsome official who is reading sweet words and earnestly offering sacrifices to the sea. His tone is melodious and melodious. This man is Han Yu, a famous writer and secretariat of New Chaozhou.
The place where Han Yu worships God is called the Great Lake, commonly known as Longtan. Legend has it that the Great Lakes are blessed by dragons, which can make clouds and rain flourish. So, just eight months after the spring tide, Han Yu came to the Great Lakes three times to offer sacrifices to the gods, praying for good weather, leaving three famous articles on offering sacrifices to the gods. Because of this historical story, the Great Lakes have become a tourist attraction, and "Great Lakes and Blue Waves" is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang.
Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty described the scene of "Great Lakes and Blue Waves" as follows: "There are steep coasts facing south for more than ten miles, and huge stones spread to Longtan, covering the place where Poseidon lived. When you are empty, or watching, you will faint. " Today, the lakeside town of Haimen Town is named after its location on the Great Lake. On a sunny day, the Great Lakes sparkle with golden waves and are full of weather. On a moonlit night, the scenery is more magnificent and charming. The faint moonlight shines on the vast sea, and the silver waves sway. There is a thin blue mist floating in the sky, as if it were smoke rising from Poseidon's palace. In the poems of Shen Cong, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that "a good mountain cuts down hibiscus, a fan swings out of Pinghu to hide dragons, and the northern birds look at the clear water, and when it is sunny, they take no smoking seals", which vividly describes the "great lakes and clear waves".
In the place where Han Yu worships God and prays for rain, it has been a sandstorm since ancient times. After nearly 30 years of afforestation and sand reclamation, the original desert beach has become a gloomy windbreak belt and green garden, and spacious and bright new houses have sprung up. The bright moon is in the sky, Yin Hui falls, the Great Lakes are sparkling, the green waves on the shore are billowing, and the village is full of music. "Great Lakes Clear Waves" shows people a charming new gesture.
Six, fairy town half-day Buddha scenic spot
(also known as the Half-Day Buddha Fairy Lake Cultural Relics Scenic Area), located in the middle of the northern foot of Dananshan Mountain in Xiancheng Town, is the four major cultural sites in the late Neolithic Age and the former site of Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing garrison camp in the late Ming Dynasty. It is a new scenic spot that has been built by raising funds for saturated foreigners since 1984. The scenic spot is surrounded by mountains and waters, with charming natural scenery, covering an area of about 3 square kilometers and 35.5 meters away from Chaoyang city.
There is a peak of Wolf Mountain in the Half-Day Buddha Scenic Area. Because the peak is shaped like a sitting Buddha, it is commonly known as a half-day Buddha. There is a temple on the top of the mountain called "Half-Day Buddhist Temple", which is said to have been built by Dafeng, a monk who abused him during Song Xuanhe's reign. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the national hero Zheng Chenggong went to Chaoshan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He stationed troops at the top of the Buddha for half a day, practiced martial arts according to risks, and repeatedly sold the Qing army. According to legend, after the "mouse broke the drum rope" (the mouse bit off the rope that tied the drum), it mistakenly called the police for the Qing army to attack the camp, which made Zheng Jun meet the enemy in a hurry and misunderstood each other in the night, so it refers to this place. In the existing years, Zheng Jun's observation posts included Paifang Panshi, Tacun Mountain, Junzao, Huanshan Happy Valley Avenue, the ancient well dug by Zheng Jun himself, and the West Campus.
Baxian Pavilion is a scenic spot center in the southwest of the scenic spot, which is a unique group pavilion building. There are many pavilions, including big pavilions, small pavilions and ancient pavilions, not less than 25. In particular, the Eight Immortals Pavilion Group is outstanding. The exhibition hall is divided into upper and lower floors, reaching 10 meter. There is a pavilion on the upper floor and a Tai Chi pavilion in the middle. The lower floor is arranged in the east, south, west and north, which looks like gossip and has eight pavilions; Each exhibition hall is divided into murals of the Eight Immortals, so the Eight Immortals Pavilion is luxurious and magnificent. Overlooking pavilions, there are pavilions up and down, and pavilions in the pavilions overlap and connect with each other, resplendent and magnificent: in addition, overpasses, temples, pavilions, curved bridges, pontoons, waterside pavilions and lakes are all excellent, and the verdant forests and bamboo forests set each other off and make people feel relaxed and happy, as if they were in Yaochi Wonderland.
He's "living" image is Tianyunge on the fourth floor of the backyard of Futiangong in the southeast of the scenic spot. There is a 2-meter-high, exquisite and realistic oil painting "Fairy". Surprisingly, no matter what angle the viewer stands at. The eyes, mouth and toes of the people in the painting, and even the word "Zhouyi" in their hands, are all directed at you, which is commonly known as "living painting" among the people. Legend has it that this painting was inspired by the artist by accident, and it is impossible to draw a second one in the future. It is said that some overseas Chinese are willing to pay 50 yuan or even 100 yuan to draw another identical portrait, but they have not come back. Most visitors to Huxian storm area will soon see a "living painting".
At present, Huxian Scenic Area is still planning to build a number of supporting facilities such as roads around the lake, swimming pools, hotels, cultural relics museums, painting and calligraphy museums and resorts. At that time, the scenery of Hu Xian will be more beautiful.
Seven, Hongqiao cross training
One of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang, "Hongqiao Dulian", is named after the Peace Bridge across Lianjiang. In ancient times, the seaside was peaceful, and Lianjiang meandered from here to Haimen Bay, where the waves were rough and the water potential was huge. The Peace Bridge spans the turbulent river like a rainbow.
Peace Bridge was initiated by monk Dafeng in the second year of Song Xuanhe. Legend has it that Dafeng swam from Minyun and lived in a temple on the bank of Lianjiang River. One day, he came back to receive charity. It's getting late, and the other side refuses to ferry. Dafeng opened a paper umbrella as a boat to carry the children to cross the river by himself. For the convenience of the villagers, Dafeng made a wish to build a bridge. He raised money everywhere to raise wood, stones and food. When the project was about to start, Dafeng sent a message to Huang Chengshui Fu, but the tide didn't arrive for seven days. These legends reflect people's praise for these accomplished monks.
Wen Tianxiang's calligraphy "Peace Lane" still stands in the west of Heping Bridge. According to legend, Wen Tianxiang led a crusade against Yuan and was stationed here. Feeling the simplicity of the people in this place during the war, he splashed ink on the "Peace Lane" as a gift.
In order to meet the needs of modern traffic, in 1976, the local government allocated funds to build a new flat bridge with a length of 340 meters and a width of 10 meter. Looking at the old bridge from a distance, it became a witness to the historical process. Today, the river is clear and the boat is woven; The bamboo and rattan on both sides of the strait are dense and idyllic; The whistle sounded on the bridge and the car sped by. "Hongqiao Cross Training" looks new and more magnificent.
Eight, Dafeng Scenic Area
Dafeng Scenic Area is located in Xiongshi Mountain, next to Heping Section of National Highway 324, and opened in May 1989, with a total area of 2.6 square kilometers, which is 12 kilometers away from Chaoyang City. It was named after a peak in the Song Dynasty. A monk built an ancient bridge of peace to benefit the people.
There is a tomb of Zen master Dafeng in the scenic spot. The "Dafeng Ancestor Pavilion" in front of the tomb is magnificent, and it forms the main axis building of Dafeng Scenic Area with the pavilion for welcoming the sun, inviting the moon, Yuyue Pavilion, Dangui Pavilion, 108 steps, Guanyin Fountain and "South Xinjiang Yifeng" archway.
Another important attraction of the scenic spot is "Song Dafeng Ancestral Hall". This museum blends classical and modern styles. The white marble statue of Dafeng, the founder of the museum, was carved and brought from Myanmar. It is the largest white marble statue in China at present.
In addition, there are many historical sites and scenic spots in the scenic area, such as Lingquan Temple for protecting the country, Ling Bao Temple for Hudi, which was developed in Qing Dynasty, Dafeng Gu Quan, Longquan Ancient Well and Jin Hu Ancient Well with clear and mellow springs, Lion Tail Stone established by Dafeng founder, and the inscription "Dedication" by Zhao Puchu, President of Chinese Buddhist Association.
Of course, while visiting these scenic spots, the food in Chaoyang is also very popular with tourists at home and abroad.
The famous snacks are: leek buns, rice rolls (especially recommended), kway teow soup, oyster sauce, beef offal kway teow, authentic handmade beef balls,
Sweet potato cake, pork knuckle ring, pot stickers.
