Xianju culture has a long history and rich inside information. As early as 4000-7000 years ago, people lived and multiplied in this land. According to archaeological findings, Xiatang Neolithic site is not inferior to Hemudu and Liangzhu cultural sites, and it has revealed the dawn of early civilization in China. According to the research of Xiatang site, 6-7 thousand years ago, the ancestors of Xianju people-Ou Yue people lived in the valley plain in the west of the middle and lower reaches of Yong 'anxi. In East Jinmu Emperor Yonghe for 3 years, Xianju County was named Le 'an County. Sui and Tang Dynasties were abandoned several times. In the last five years of the Five Dynasties, Le 'an County was renamed Yong 'an County for harnessing Yuxi River. People hope to keep peace forever. Xianju County was established in 347 A.D., in the fourth year of Jingdezhen in the Northern Song Dynasty (1007). Zhao Heng of Song Zhenzong was named Xianju in the imperial edict because of his "famous caves and famous mountains, covering Wei Zhou", which means "the place where immortals live". It has been 1600 years since the county was founded. (There are the ruins of Xiatang primitive society village in Neolithic Age about 7000 years ago.

Stone Temple (now Daxing Temple), built in the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (194), is the first temple in Taizhou. Outside the temple, there is the word "Buddha", the largest cliff stone carving in the Jin Dynasty. Talented people have come forth in large numbers throughout the ages. Xiang Si, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, collected a volume of his poems in The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty, which was handed down from generation to generation as a classic story of "He who speaks with great care must gain something".

Jing xing Scenic Area was opened to the public on September 6th, 2002. Jingxingyan Scenic Spot, with a total investment of more than 30 million yuan, was approved as a national key scenic spot by the State Council on May 6, 2002. The scenic spot is located 27 kilometers west of Xianju City, with a total area of 27.3 square kilometers and an altitude of 742 meters, adjacent to Shenxianju Scenic Spot. The whole mountain of Jingxingyan is long from south to north, narrow from east to west, with its head and tail tilted up, like a huge ship moored here. Two high-speed elevators will take you directly to the Qifeng Cliff in the scenic spot, which will make the scenic spots such as Lujing Pavilion, Zhongyan and Turtle Moon Exploration in Sendai more vivid. Picturesque bamboo and Lin Xiu constitute the unique landscape here. Jingxingyan Scenic Area is not only beautiful in natural landscape, but also rich in human landscape and splendid in history and culture. Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been majestic Jingju Temple, rare stupas in China, and geomantic halls with the aura of the sun, moon and stars. After development, jing xing Rock has the longest moon-watching corridor in the mountains of the world (2 corridors, 5 corridors and 8 meters), elegant and quiet moon-watching building, Mugetu building, Feitian building (guest room), antique drunken moon building (restaurant), poetic leisure center and unlimited moon-singing field (entertainment). Jing xing Rock Scenic Area is the best place for tourism, leisure, vacation and meeting.
High-speed elevator: There are two ways to climb Jingxing Rock. One is to take the sightseeing elevator to the top of the mountain. The second is to walk up the mountain from the eighteenth plate. Today we choose to take the elevator up the mountain. This kind of high-speed sightseeing elevator takes off and lands from the vertical cave, with the lower part hidden in the cave and the upper part soaring. It only takes 45 seconds to get you to the hillside of 128 meters. When you climb to the top of the mountain, the ancient dream of "landing on the moon for nine days" can shorten the distance between time and space, and the stars will definitely arouse your beautiful thoughts. This mountain is 742 meters high with a total area of 27. 3 square kilometers, with typical rhyolite landform characteristics, has always been a famous tourist attraction in Xianju. "Looking at the moon in jing xing", when people climb the mountain to enjoy the moon, it looks like a clear Wan Li, but when they see the bright moon in the sky, lying across the sky, there is a mirror-like moon reflection pool next to it, and the mountain wind is blowing, the blue waves are rippling, and the water and the sky are one color, which makes people fascinated. Since ancient times, it has always attracted many tourists to enjoy the moon.
Welcome to Pegasus: When you get to the top of the mountain and get off the elevator, enjoy the prospect first. Standing on one side of the moon-watching corridor overlooking the opposite mountain, we can see a beautiful horse flying towards us. This is a scenic spot in jing xing, where the flying horse welcomes guests. The horse flapped its wings to show a warm welcome to everyone. Tourist: After the construction of Jingxingyan Scenic Area was completed, a formal welcoming ceremony was held on September 14, 2002. This year is the family calendar year, that is, the Year of the Horse in the China Zodiac, so "flying horse welcomes guests" has a double meaning. Shenxian Cave: The magical Shenxian Cave: In winter, other places on the top of the mountain are covered with snow and ice, but the hole is extremely warm without any frost and snow. Hundreds of meters away from the mouth of the cave, you can see that the hot air hole is steaming and smoky. Some people say that the gods are cooking below, but the water vapor is rising all the year round. You might as well reach out and feel it, and come back with a little fairy spirit.
Resonant animals: The steep mountain over there is like all kinds of wild animals howling in the sky. This scene is called "Resonance Animals". Careful visitors will find that among all the animals, there are long live turtles looking back with their heads held high; There is an eagle spreading its wings to fly; There are a pair of affectionate mandarin ducks; There are also flying horses and so on.
Liangfengdong: Standing here, it feels a little cold at noon in summer. If he listens carefully, he can hear the sound of dripping water. This is the cool wind cave. It turns out that the cool Dongting Lake is a rock fault zone, with its northern end open and its southern end closed. Because it is connected with the south cave, the temperature at the entrance of the cave is low all the year round, and with the cooling effect of water in the crack, cold air blows up from the crack, which makes people feel a little cool in hot summer.
Xiangyan: This is a deep ravine, with a height of 100 meters and a width of less than one meter. It is formed by three cliffs. Zhong Yan was named after Shi Tong was thrown into the ravine and hit the left and right walls. The bell rang and tinkled until the sound rose and fell for half a minute, so the locals called it "Zhong Yan". When tourists come to Jingxingyan, they will pick up two stones and throw them on them in different ways. The first piece is lifted with the right hand and thrown hard, and the last piece is thrown slowly with the left hand. Why? Because the first piece represents bad luck and trouble, throw it hard; The latter represents a wish. what do you think? After this stone is thrown out, you will get what you want in the future, and it will be very auspicious in the future. So you have to vote seriously. Therefore, Xiangyan is also called "Heart-washing Valley". Only by throwing stones on both sides will you feel relaxed and suddenly enlightened. it wont hurt you to try it Throwing stones at others is really a pleasure. It's annoying to hit the wall, but it's not fun to throw stones at you.
Zuiyue Building: This building in the southwest is Zuiyue Building. Zuiyue Building is a place for tourists to eat, and the boxes here are all designed and built according to the specifications of the hotel. First, the restaurant on the second floor is spacious and bright. The dishes here are all cooked by experienced chefs, and they are delicious. The dishes here are all local specialties of Xianju, such as dried Meng vegetables and Sanhuang chicken. Please come here to taste the famous "mountain vegetables" in our Xianju.
Elephant nose rock: Standing on the observation deck and looking down, I saw a huge rock mass, protruding in the middle and slightly concave on both sides, resembling an elephant's head. Because it looks like a giant elephant and is lifelike, people call it "elephant nose rock", which is one of the classic scenic spots in the scenic spot. Photographers only need to aim at it and press the shutter, and they can take good photos. At the end of June 2002, El Pais reported a blockbuster. The work is a wonderful combination of the statue of guarding the rock surrounded by fairy fog and the bell pavilion after the rain, like the traditional Chinese painting written by the painter, which is beautiful!
Star-Picking Pavilion: When I came to the Star-Picking Pavilion, I saw the couplet on the pavilion saying, "It's not easy to climb the stars, and there is no fear. Why can't it be difficult to win the laurels for the bright moon?" This not only praised the sages, but also inspired future generations. Stargazing also implies that future generations are expected to study hard from the sages, bravely climb the peak, win the laurel and become dazzling new stars. Reading hall: it's called hall, but it's not a hall building. The front is close to the abyss and the environment is quiet. It is in this simple and steep place that three famous people in history studied hard here to cultivate their morality. They are Wu Fu, a direct bachelor of Song Longtu Pavilion; Ming Zuo Du Hao Shilai, Ming Fu Du Li, etc. Here I would like to introduce Wu Shilai to you in particular. Wu Shilai is from Houren Village, Baita Town, Xianju. Born in the sixth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1527), he died in the eighteenth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1590). In the end, it became the left capital of the empire, known in history as Wu Dutang (. When Wu Shilai was young, he left his brother in Beijing because of illness. After returning home, he immediately went to jing xing Rock, but he lived there. He didn't go down the mountain for three years, and then he went down to take the exam. Finally, in the thirty-second year of Jiajing (AD 1553), he won the top prize. During Wu Shilai's tenure as an official, he was most famous for his treacherous court officials, who fought against the Japanese and fought against each other. There is also a story among Xianju people that "the samurai came to outsmart Yan Song"! Although Wu Shilai was a great bureaucrat in the feudal era, his deeds of "persevering in destroying loyalty to politics and resolutely denouncing power traitors" stood out in history, spread widely and were praised by people of all ages. Therefore, the local people will bring their children studying here to burn incense and light candles, and let them sit in the place where Wu Shi once sat, hoping that they can also become people of insight and pillars of the country. This is the place where Wu Shilai once sat. This position is really strange. There is a stone on it, like a faucet. Mr. Feng Shui said that this position combines the aura of the sun, the moon and the stars, and there is a faucet to protect the top. People call it a "top chair". As long as you sit on it, your study will be more advanced. Officials will get rich, and businessmen will get rich. Ladies and gentlemen, you might as well give it a try, and it will definitely bring you good luck. By the way, you can look at the scenic window here and change your mind.
Here are some stories about Wu Shilai. The first story is about his "meritorious service against Japan and for the country". In the thirty-second year of Jiajing (i.e. 1553), Wu Shilai was appointed as the official of Shanghai Songjiang, ranking seventh and in charge of the prison. That year, during the two wars, Enemy at the Gates, people living outside the city flooded into the city. Many officials propose to close the city gates and prevent people from entering the city to reduce the burden on the city. Wu Shilai pushed his way through the crowd and said, "Not from outside my city." He opened the city gate wide, let the people take refuge in the city, and organized the army to hold the city and beat back the Japanese attack many times. He analyzed that the enemy could not attack Jiaxing for a long time, so he ordered Wujiang county magistrate to release water from the lake (Taihu Lake) and let the enemy be blocked in the water. Wu Shilai led the ambush to catch up. Thousands of enemy heads were beheaded in Wang Jiangjing and Shenjiazhuang, and the rest drowned in the river. This is the triumph of "Wang and Shenjiazhuang" recorded in the Ming Dynasty (Wu Shilai). The title of the second story is "Wealth can be like this". After the triumph of Wang Jiangjing and Shen Zhuang, Wu Shilai became famous in one fell swoop. Treacherous court official Yan 16' s son Zhao Wenhua traveled south of the Yangtze River and summoned Wu Shilai, who visited Zhao Wenhua. Seeing that he was full of pride, he replied up and down and turned away. Zhao Wenhua was furious and immediately "left riding back to recommend others". Afterwards, someone told Wu Shi that Zhao Wenhua was now a courtier and powerful, and others tried their best to kiss up to the high position. Governor Zhao offered to support you today, but you turned around and left. As long as you are jealous for a while, you can enjoy endless prosperity in your life. Wu Shili said: "Wealth can make money like this." . Mugetu House: There is a hill opposite, which looks like a wooden fish hit by monks in a temple, so people call it "Muyu Mountain". On the east side of the main hall of Jingju Temple is Mugetu Building. When you live there at night, your ancestors and gods hold dreams. It is said to be very effective. Those who want to dream here at night will surely realize their dreams.
Jingju Temple: Jingxingyan is not only a reading resort, but also a paradise. After visiting the reading room, please walk a few hundred steps to the east and visit the remains of Jingju Temple and Gong Hu Temple. Standing here, you can see Jingju Temple as the center, surrounded by peaks, with handrails on the east and west sides, backrest mountain in the south, platform and Qianmu Mountain in the north. If you are careful, you will find that this is the golden chair where the emperor sat. Jingju Temple is located in the center of this golden chair, which is an excellent treasure house of Feng Shui. Therefore, since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the incense in the temple has been very prosperous, and it is very effective to ask people to divine. This double-eaved, hilltop-resting building is the main building of Jingju Temple, and the Buddha statue in the middle is Sakyamuni Buddha. According to legend, he was the son of Sudoku King in Kapilowe (present-day Nepal) in northern India. His original name was Gautama Siddharta. At the age of 29, he deeply touched the pain of life and death, gave up the royal life and became a monk. After six years of hard work, at the age of 35, he became a monk under the bodhi tree of Buddha Gaya and founded Buddhism, which is said to relieve the suffering of all beings. It is honored as "Sakyamuni" by Buddhist children, which means "Sakyamuni sage" and "Sakyamuni wise man".
The statues on both sides are two of the top ten disciples of the Buddha, and the elder is the fourth disciple of Sakyamuni, Mahakaya, who is the "first Buddhist monk", that is, the best practitioner of asceticism, and a symbol of "suffering". Young people are Ananda, the ninth disciple of Sakyamuni. He is the "first monk", that is, he has the best memory. At the same time, he is also the representative of Happy Village, Xi and Wu Ran. There is a poem praising Ananda, saying, "The face is like a full moon and the eyes are like lotus flowers in spring, which can serve people and make them happy." In other words, believers have all kinds of good wishes to visit Ananda more often. Around the well-known eighteen arhats, according to Xuanzang's translation of "Fa Zhu Ji", Sakyamuni ordered sixteen arhats to give alms to all living beings on earth, and they were collectively called eighteen arhats.
Lookout Pavilion: The terrain here is high and steep, wide on three sides and facing a precipice. If you stand here, will there be a feeling of "Xiangyun is at your feet, you should bring a little fairy here, and the earth will feel passionate after sitting down?" Indeed, we can see villages, towns, lakes and streams in Fiona Fang 10 square kilometers at a glance. On sunny days, the TV tower at the top of Huanglong Mountain and the Fuying Iron Tower in Tashan Mountain, 25 kilometers away from Xianju County, are faintly visible. Really: Looking at China, you can hold up half of China and lean against a pavilion on the windless moon. A bird's-eye view of Xiatang Village at the foot of the mountain shows the ancient dwellings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are connected by many quadrangles. On rainy days, you can go through a door and go through all the houses without a drop of rain. Looking down, it's like a maze, unique and amazing! Now, let's see the top of the mountain from a distance. Is it like an art gallery carefully built by sculptors? Millennium turtle, flying horse welcoming guests, Yuanyang playing in the water, eagle spreading its wings, champion roll, pen peak ... exquisite and unique, lifelike, more like a rare art treasure house in the world.
Other attractions: The drifting section of Yong 'anxi River is 7.68km long, and the special bamboo raft produced by Xianju is used as a tool. "The middle reaches of the small bamboo raft stream, and the banks are towering and green."

Xianju Eight Bowl: Xianju has a very simple and authentic series of local dishes, such as: Xianju Noodles Tofu, Honey Sweet Potato, Yong 'an Creek Fish and so on. , all have local characteristics. In particular, the prestigious "Xianju Eight Bowl" is an amazing food. "Eight Bowls" have exquisite materials, exquisite workmanship, scientific collocation and pure taste. It is a traditional feast that Xianju people must use for every happy event and treat guests. Legend has it that in ancient times, after the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to kill the Dragon King, on their way back to the Fairy Residence, they saw the drums and lanterns in the neighboring village and went down to Xiangyun to join in the fun. It turned out that Mr. Wu, the richest man in the village, married a woman. At that time, it rose, and one person cooked a good dish (namely, Cai He lotus seeds, Xiangzi sea cucumber, a bowl of meat, my uncle's pickled fish, and a big fish in Dong Bin). Soon, Xianju people changed the square table for eating into a table, and all the eight specialties were used at the wedding banquet, which was called eight bowls.
The traditional "eight bowls" in Xianju have always been the orthodox menu for Xianju folk to entertain guests and friends. It is a classic of Xianju local traditional food culture with authentic materials, exquisite production, rigorous arrangement, wide application and far-reaching cultural origin. The "eight bowls" are divided into four bowls: lotus seeds (or white lentils), sea cucumbers (or meat ginseng), fish paste, that is, fish scoops (or meat knocks) and bowls of meat. The next four bowls are: bamboo shoots (or bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots), fried meat (that is, dried tofu or shredded mushrooms), mutton (or shredded cuttlefish) and hodgepodge (also known as pork belly, fat sausage and tofu: cut into irregular shapes). Xianju's characteristic pickled fish skin is soaked outside the "eight bowls" and the dishes are washed with green vegetables. Eight bowls of dishes are very particular, because they are special for celebrations. First of all, lotus seeds and sea cucumbers come up to symbolize children and grandchildren. Secondly, it is a bowl of big fish and big meat, which means big fish and big meat. If you connect the first two bowls, it will be more than a year. The next four bowls, each with its own symbolic meaning, are soaking owls, knocking on meat, tofu on the face and soaking skin.
The traditional recipe of Xianju is called "Eight Bowls", which means auspiciousness. Eight is an auspicious number in China culture. In China's classical culture, yin and yang, five elements and eight diagrams are the key elements, so that the eighth eight diagrams are Kun (≡≡), Kun is the earth, mother, cow and numerous, and "eight" is the largest number in even numbers, which implies many auspicious sayings. Taoist culture has a long history and has shaped many representatives of the Eight Immortals. The table for eating is called the Square Table. It is square and its side is 3 feet 6 inches.
(Lu half a foot) 1 meter, four stools four feet long (Lu half a foot) are called four-foot stools, and two people sit on each side, making a total of eight people. The last seat is the "Eight Bowls", with 16 to 24 dishes, which are collectively called "Eight Big Eight Essentials" by the people.
