Shiyu is located in Hushan Township, ten miles west of Xiangxiang City, also known as Shiyuping. It was once called "Shiyu Xiang Peng", which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiangxiang.
More than 1000 years ago, Li Daoyuan, an outstanding geographer in ancient China, recorded in Notes on Water Classics: "Lianshui flows eastward into Xiangxiang, crossing the poem and rain mountain, which is tens of feet high and ten miles wide. There are many stones at the foot of the mountain, which are black and mica-like, cut into a layer, with fish-like shapes and scale wings, which are like descriptions and are several inches long. The shape of fish is prepared and burned to make the fish sauce fishy.
For thousands of years, the "fish" of Shiyu Mountain has been attracting people to visit and look for it. Zhang Zheng, a famous person in the Six Dynasties, once visited this mountain, and when he saw the stone saying, "Fish jumps into the water of Xiangxiang", he carved a stone and erected a monument. Duan, a writer in the Tang Dynasty, also came here and described his experiences in the mountains in Youyang Miscellanies.
Stone fish gives people a strange and mysterious feeling. It is a kind of stone. According to research, millions of years ago, the area around Hushan and Su Po Township in Xiangxiang was a huge lake where fish and other plankton grew. Later, due to the violent movement of the earth's crust, these creatures were buried under sediments in batches. Under the long-term effect of pressure and geocentric heat, sediments form rocks, and fish gel after carbonization in the rock layer and become fossils.
Stone fish can be said to be an artistic treasure reflecting geological evolution. It can not only give people innocent enjoyment, but also enlighten people with knowledge. When Hunan-Guizhou Railway 1958 was built, a large number of stone fish were found when the subgrade crossed the stone fish mountain. Although the mountain has been laid under the railway now, there are still fish and stones on both sides of the railway. If it develops, there will be "fish" at every turn.
