Hello, everyone, we are going to visit the Jinxiu Valley Scenic Area in Lushan Mountain. Jinxiu Valley is located in the northwest of Lushan Mountain, which is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. During the Quaternary Glacier Period, a U-shaped valley was formed after repeated action of glaciers for millions of years. It is more than 2500 meters long. Now the footpath we are walking on is opened at 1980, with a total length of 1450. In this scenic spot, you will see the flyover, dangerous peak, medicinal stone, human head stone, Guanyin dressing table, negotiation table, Chikulinji, Xianren Cave and other scenic spots. When Wang Anshi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, visited, he improvised a poem: When you smile at home, it is early morning, let you be the master of a famous mountain, meet the five lakes and invite you to visit the beautiful valley in spring. Let me accompany you around this beautiful scenery.
The first thing I saw was the overpass, which was formed 630 years ago after being baptized by snow and wind. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang attacked Poyang Lake, they fled here defeated. They were in the abyss before, and there was a critical moment to pursue troops. Suddenly, a golden dragon fell from the sky, lying in a deep valley and turned into a stone bridge. After Zhu Yuanzhang rode across the bridge, the dark clouds rolled and it was dark. I saw a dazzling blue light breaking the stone bridge. After the broken bridge, the clouds cleared and the sun rose, and everything returned to its original appearance, leaving this broken bridge, which is of course a myth and legend. In fact, there used to be very high snow and ice here, and the bottom could not bear the weight of the upper part. It was hollowed out from the bottom and then collapsed, forming a huge fault. There is a boulder on the cliff that has not been broken, and it looks like a broken bridge from a distance.
The boulder we see now is called "Eagle Mouth Stone" because it looks like an eagle's mouth from a distance, but it is also called "Lucky Stone". It is said that it is good luck to revolve around it. There are official luck twice and peach blossom luck three times, but there is a cliff on the other side of the lucky stone, so it is usually enough to touch it. You can see the words "Jinxiu Valley" on the west cliff. It is said that many Buddhists give their lives to become Buddhists, so they are also called "small sacrificial cliffs". The best place to see the u-shaped valley is from the dangerous peak to the medicine stone, but since it shows its danger, please go to the medicine stone to see the u-shaped valley.
The name of herbalism stone comes from Li Shizhen's drying and classification of herbs picked on this stone. According to historical research, Li Shizhen recorded 16 kinds of Lushan traditional Chinese medicine in Compendium of Materia Medica, among which Lushan tremella is famous. Speaking of stone ears, by the way, there is a stone ear peak in the west of Hanyang Peak. The stone ear peak in Lushan Mountain grows here, but it grows on the cliff, so it is not easy for tourists to see it. You can look back at the overpass now. Did you find that the broken bridge and the cliff opposite are connected from this angle, really like a bridge?
When we go forward, we can see a huge stone on the summit, which looks like a human head from a distance, so we call it the human head stone. Look at it with a bunch of fresh moss eyes, a small nose, a drooping mouth and even a little chin, more like a sad person.
There is a hole in front, which is narrow and short. This is Jinxiu Gate. If you want to cross it, you must bend down. However, it is said that Lv Dongbin became immortal in the fairy cave in front, and you can find the immortal in front. The gods have blessed Lushan Mountain for so many years. What does it matter if everyone bows? Later, all tourists bowed, and the relevant government departments in Lushan changed Jinxiu Gate to Lixian Gate.
(Out of the cave gate) This is Youxian Road, which was built by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to visit immortals, so it is called "Youxian Road". Remember to look for the fairy on the left. Although you can become immortal by going down from the right, there is a cliff below. From there, you will become a Buddha. Very straightforward, no chance to be a man. You should be careful.
You Xian Pavilion, which can be seen now, was built by Zhu Yuanzhang for seeking immortals and rebuilt by Chiang Kai-shek in 1930. He often watches the sunset glow here. 1946, American Marshall negotiated with Chiang Kai-shek to mediate the conflict between the two countries, which was later renamed as "negotiation platform".
There are bamboo forests in the sky and Shaolin on the ground. We can see the Shaolin Temple on the ground. But Chikurinji in the sky, who has seen it? It's really hard to see Chikurinji, but I don't want to meet cyclamen often. According to legend, Chikurinji is hiding in this valley. Whenever the situation changes, you can still hear the bells and drums coming from Chikurinji and have a chance to see the shadows in the clouds. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang fought against Chen Youliang, he was ill. He got help from the immortal monk Zhou Dian at Chikulin Temple in Lushan Mountain, and saved the day many times. To thank the rescuer, after Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he sent people to Lushan Mountain to look for Chikulinji, but every time he came, he found the three characters "Chikulinji" engraved on the cliff. Nothing. Therefore, later generations called "Chikulin Temple" "Temple in the sky".
There is another legend about why we only see the plaque but not the temple. At that time, there lived an old monk and a young monk in Chikulin Temple. There is no water on the mountain. If you want to drink water, you have to go down the mountain to fetch water. On the way to fetch water, the young monk met a Millennium Polygonum multiflorum, which was about to become an immortal, and made friends with it. Every day when he passes by, he will pour a few spoonfuls of water on it. The old monk found out why there is always less and less water. One day, he followed the young monk and found the Millennium Polygonum multiflorum Thunb. After eating it, he won't have to practice hard. He can go straight back to the temple and say to the young monk, Your little friend, Master gave him a red rope. When you go to see him tomorrow, tie it on his head as a greeting from the host. The young monk did it the next day. Polygonum multiflorum plays with the young monk during the day, sleeps at night and becomes a plant again. The old monk secretly picked Polygonum multiflorum Thunb at night, steamed it with a large pot of water, and went out for a walk early in the morning. When the young monk passed by the next day, his child didn't come out. He's curious. When he returned to the temple and went to the kitchen to pour water, he found that his friend had been steamed. In a rage, he spilled water from the pot around his temples. I didn't expect the temple fair to fly. When the old monk saw something bad, he jumped on it. The young monk was unhappy, so he pushed the old monk down. The old monk suddenly grabbed the plaque. Who knew the temple was so bad? In fact, it is just a mirage in the sky, and the reflection of the temple below can be seen in the air. Generally, temple bells can travel ten miles in the plain, not to mention in this mountain, you can definitely hear the bells of the temples below.
Friends, we unconsciously came to the famous immortal cave. Xianren Cave is a stone cave composed of sand cliffs, with a height of 7m, a width of12m and a depth of14m. Due to the constant weathering of nature and the long-term erosion of mountains and rivers, a natural cave has gradually formed. As you can see, there is a bergamot at the top of the cave, so it was also called bergamot rock in the history books before the Southern Song Dynasty. It turned out that the word "bergamot rock" was engraved on the thumb, but now it has been weathered for many years and can't be seen clearly. At that time, there were many monks involved in Buddhism here. Later, because of the war, the monks and Buddhists left here, and the Taoist priests took a fancy to it long ago and immediately took it. So the history of Taoism in Lushan Mountain is not long. (When a family fled to Lushan Mountain because of the war, there were only two husband and wife left, so the two families were surnamed Lu, and later lived in the cave and became guests in the cave, so they were called. ) The white marble stone carving in the "Chunyang Hall" you see now is Lv Dongbin. He was the founder of Quanzhendao, and later his wife died from overwork, leaving him alone, so he was called "Pure Yang Real Person". There is a spring at the bottom of the cave. No matter how many drops of water hang on the top of the cave, it always looks like someone is dispatching. Two springs drop by drop at the same time, which is sweet all year round. This is the "a drop of water" recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, and "nectar and jade" refers to a drop of spring water. Of course, there are more tourists now, and these nectars can't be drunk any more. This spring has two eyes.
Ok, that's all for today's explanation of Jinxiu Valley. Let's have a look around. If there is anything you don't understand or are interested in, we can talk again and meet in front of Xianren Cave after the tour!
Welcome everyone to come here. Let me introduce you!
Jinxiu Valley is a famous scenic spot in Lushan Mountain Scenic Area. From the overpass along the stone steps on the left to Xianren Cave, it is a beautiful valley about 1.5 km long, which is the newly-built famous scenic spot of 1980 Lushan Mountain-Jinxiu Valley. Legend has it that Hui Yuan, a famous oriental monk in Jin Dynasty, collected flowers and plants. Four o'clock flowering here is like a splendid scenery, hence the name. Wang Anshi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in a poem: "When you laugh at home, it is morning, which makes you learn from famous mountains. I took advantage of the five lakes to invite the beautiful valley in spring. "
In the valley, there are not only exotic flowers and plants, but also strange stones and boulders of different shapes. The peaks are in full bloom and colorful. Some are like white-haired old people, some are like frogs jumping out of the water, some are like two fighting lions, wild horses with loose manes, eagles soaring in the sky, and some are like Guanyin dressed up by Taiwan Province. People have given many touching names to the peak rocks here, endowed them with beautiful legends and touched the thoughts of countless tourists.
Lushan Jinxiu Valley Tour Guide 3 Hello everyone! We are going to visit the Jinxiu Valley Scenic Area in Lushan Mountain now. Jinxiu Valley is located in the northwest of Lushan Mountain, by the side of Huajing Lake, which is formed by the intersection of Dalin Peak and Tianchi Mountain. Due to the effect of Quaternary glaciers, Jinxiu Valley, a mountain depression that opened to the southwest, was repeatedly carved by glaciers, forming a valley with a flat bottom and steep walls. "In spring, Britain is full of flowers and brilliant knowledge. When I arrived in beginning of winter, it was green without peeling, decorated with red maple flowers and full of carvings. " In the four seasons, there are red and purple flowers everywhere, hence the name Jinxiu.
Dear friends, the pedestrian road we are taking now is a sightseeing road opened by 1979- 1980, with a total length of more than 2,500 meters. Jinxiu Valley, with rugged rocks, is full of strange peaks and rocks, some like white-haired old people, some like frogs jumping out of the water, some like fighting lions, wild horses with hooves, eagles soaring in the sky, and some like Guanyin dressed up by Taiwan Province ... People have given many touching names to the peaks here and endowed them with beautiful legends. In addition, there are clouds in the valley from time to time, and 99 groups of ancient roads are like ladders, which evokes people's infinite reverie. We will visit Tianqiao, Xianfeng, Caiyao Stone, Toushi, Negotiation Platform, Chikulin Collection, Xianren Cave and so on.
First of all, the first view of the valley before us-overpass. Please look ahead to the left. A huge stone stands steeply, just like a bridge suspended in mid-air. This is the overpass. It was called "immortal plate" in ancient times, and it was once a good place for the great monk of Dalin Temple in Lushan Mountain to realize Taoism and participate in Zen. Looking down, the cliffs on both sides are opposite, and the relative height with the bottom of the valley is more than 60 meters. According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Wu, and Chen Youliang's army fought in Poyang Lake, they were defeated and fled here, facing a deep valley ahead, and then there was an emergency. I saw a flash of golden light in the sky, and a golden dragon fell from the sky and became a bridge. Zhu Yuanzhang rode in the past. On the way to Chen Youliang, all his mounts hit Zhu Yuanzhang's ponytail horse. Suddenly, there was a thunderbolt, thunder rumbled rapidly, the sky was dark, and a dazzling blue light broke the stone bridge. In an instant, the bridge in Long Bian disappeared. After the bridge was broken, the clouds disappeared and the sun rose, which is still a unique stream where two cliffs confront each other.
Jinxiu Valley looks at flowers in spring and summer, and rocks in autumn and winter. There are many exotic flowers and grasses in Jinxiu Valley, and the seasons are constant. The most legendary flower in the valley is Daphne. Li Shizhen, a pharmacologist in Ming Dynasty, recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that Daphne was originally named "Sleeping Fragrance" and was produced in Lushan Mountain. According to legend, there was a monk in ancient times who slept under a rock during the day, but he smelled a strange smell in his dream and found it, hence the name. Later generations were surprised and thought it was auspicious, so they renamed it "Ruixiang". The flower with the largest number of flowers in Jinxiu Valley is "Yunjin Rhododendron". "Yunxiu Rhododendron" is a common shrub in Photiniaceae, with reddish flowers and pink flowers. When bloom was warm in spring, bloom was brilliant, which means "icing on the cake" in the poems of the Song Dynasty poet Huang Tingjian, also known as "cloud brocade". It is officially called "Yunjin Rhododendron" in the list of plants in Lushan Records. There are bamboo forests in the sky and Shaolin on the ground. We can see the Shaolin Temple on the ground. But Chikurinji in the sky, who has seen it? It's really hard to see Chikurinji, but I don't want to meet cyclamen often. According to legend, Chikurinji is hiding in this valley. Whenever the situation changes, you can still hear the bells and drums coming from Chikurinji and have a chance to see the shadows in the clouds. It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was fighting against Chen Youliang. When he was ill, he got the help of Zhou Dianxian, a fairy monk from Chikulin Temple in Lushan Mountain, and saved the day many times. To thank the rescuer, after Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, he sent people to Lushan Mountain to look for Chikulinji, but every time he came, he found the three characters "Chikulinji" engraved on the cliff. Nothing, so later generations called "Chikulinji" "Temple in the sky".
Friends, we unconsciously came to the famous immortal cave. Xianren Cave is a stone cave composed of sand cliffs. This cave is 7 meters high and 14 meters deep. Due to the constant weathering of nature and the long-term erosion of mountains and rivers, a natural cave has gradually formed. Because it looks like bergamot, it is also called bergamot rock. There is a spring at the bottom of the fairy cave, which is divided into two eyes, commonly known as "male and female spring" No matter how many drops of water hang on the top of the cave, he is always like someone dispatching, and two springs drop by drop at the same time, which is clear and sweet all year round. This is the "a drop of water spring" recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. The flying stones in the fairy cave can live, and the clear spring can wash the heart. Overlooking the white clouds outside the mountain, the river is gray and feels quite far away from the world. So it is also a paradise for Taoism. According to legend, Lv Dongbin, a famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty, practiced in the cave until he became an immortal. There is a stone temple in the cave-Chunyang Hall. There is a stone statue of Lv Chunyang (Dong Bin) with a sword on his back. On the left side of Xianren Cave is a Taoist temple-Laojun Hall, where incense is quite strong. Going up from laojunmiao, there is a huge stone standing in the air, named "toad stone". In front of and above the stone, there are eight big characters, namely "Looking at Yun Fei" and "Suddenly Penetrating". A vigorous pine tree broke through the clouds in the cracks, which is the famous Lushan Lycopodium. 1960, Comrade Mao Zedong once wrote the poem "Seven Wonders", "Looking at Jinsong at dusk, flying in the clouds is still calm. Born in the fairy, the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak. "
