We came to Shilu Village, at an altitude of1020m, and looked at the Huaxu Peak at an altitude of1512m. It looked like a sharp peak.
According to Yuxiang County Records, "Stone Cone Mountain, Hua Xu Peak (see Joe's" Chen Zhenren Cave Monument ") is 25 miles southeast of the county, Tianzhu Peak is east of Shilu Valley (named after Shilu in the old days), there is a steep forest cliff, and there is a strange peak in the Sichuan, and Cenrui is inserted into the sky ...".
There is more than an acre of flat land on Huaxu Peak, and there is the site of the Chinese Temple in the south of the peak. There are several pavilions in the east, west and north of the peak, as well as the legendary "mooring piles".
On the north side of Huaxu Peak, there is a small mountain village, Liang Ming Village, formerly known as Heigelao Village.
Shiluyu, a mountain village, once had a slope of 100 mu, and more than 60 people lived in Dongpo, Xipo, Lingxi and Shuiyou.
This is the settlement of Lingxi, and now only the villager Yang Guanshou is herding sheep and farming here.
Before going to the cave, take the initiative to ask the villagers about Shi Luyu.
The mountains to the south of the village are lush.
Climb up the west slope and look ahead, where there are Dongpo terraces. There is also a valley called Shiluyu.
Shiluyu, named after the old name Shilu, originally refers to this valley, and later people lived on the hillside, so it was called the village name.
In Shiluyu village, villagers live in scattered areas, mainly because of cultivated land and cave dwellings nearby.
Shiluyu is surrounded by mountains, so people live on the hillside.
This is an abandoned home, and the villagers have moved down the mountain. This wheel wheel seems to be telling a story of previous experience. People look for stones to process wheels and use them to grind wheat.
After hardships and vicissitudes, the cave collapsed, and the previous household appliances such as crock, noodle pot, water tank and rake were reluctant to give up by the owner. Perhaps it was just an idea to take them out of the collapsed cave. The acacia tree in front of the door is still green year after year, waiting for the owner to return. It can be seen that this family was frugal in those days. They built stone dams, earth walls, caves and jars at the foot of the mountain, and their lives were ok.
White pears bloom in spring. This is the west slope, with terraced fields, which is now deserted. In fact, in these places, forsythia trees and alpine tomatoes can be planted. But there are wild boars on the mountain, which often destroy plants.
There is a small stone building among the trees on the slope of the village. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a small temple, perhaps a mountain temple.
The mountain peak in the south of the village is regarded as the mountain peak on one side of the ridge.
The adobe house on the roadside turned out to be a temple, with a stone tablet in front, but the handwriting was illegible. There used to be an ancestral temple in the village, but when asked, this is a newly built ancestral temple.
There is a row of caves under the ridge, hidden among the green trees.
There is a stone wall in front of the cave, as if to build a courtyard wall or a house here. There is also a cellar under the stone wall.
On the west side of the village, you can see a stone wall in the distance. Take a closer look, it is still a small temple. People worship the gods here and bless the mountain people.
On the way out of the village, there is an abandoned cave yard. There is no slope around here, but the soil layer is very thick, so I dug a cave here to live.
Now people use machinery to clear the way up the mountain, and tricycles and tool carts can drive up the mountain. Before going up and down the mountain, we always took narrow mountain roads. It used to be carrying water, but now it is much more convenient to pull water with a tricycle.
Green mountains and waters, blue sky and white clouds, fresh air and picturesque scenery.
Wind power generation equipment can be seen behind the mountain, which is the boundary of Ruicheng. Once upon a time, people crossed mountains and mountains and passed by each other.
Standing at the bottom of the ditch and on both sides of the hillside, there are caves, which are secluded places for water.
According to Tailao, a villager in Sanyan Village, there is also an ancient site "Jade Emperor Pavilion" in Shiluyu, which is located in a cave on the cliff on the east side of the toad back in Shuiyougou. It is spacious and magnificent. Legend has it that this is the place where Hua Xu lived and the birthplace of Fuxi and Nu Wa. Later generations named it "Jade Emperor Pavilion" in memory of them. There is also a Niangniang Temple dedicated to Hua Xu in the cave, and there is a small brick platform in front of the cave. To the north is the Leigong Temple, dedicated to the six-armed Leigong. Unfortunately, this website was not found.
The Shuiyougou "Saburo Cave" is located on the half slope, with dense forest and lush vegetation at the entrance. According to the old man, "Saburo Cave" is said to be the place where Joe and Chen Zhenren practiced in ancient times. In order to commemorate the two immortals, later generations built a temple in the cave to pay homage, and the incense was extremely prosperous. This cave is big and deep, spacious and bright. It is more than 20 meters deep, with a turning hole at the back and a deep pit at the bottom, which is called "full well". There is a stream of water in the middle of the back of the cave roof, which flows down from the top for several years. Over time, it crashed into a deep pit below, and the villagers put some gravel of different shapes in it. After a long time, they washed out toys of different shapes. This temple was demolished in 1966 when the four old buildings were broken and the four new ones were broken. The flowing water at the top of the cave was destroyed when the geological team explored phosphate rock 197 1, and there is no flowing water so far.
Qing Qianlong's "Yuxiang County Records" contains: Stone Cone Mountain, also known as Hua Xu Peak, contains Chen Zhenren Cave, which is deep and spacious, with a stone clock hanging on it, so it is also known as Shi Zhongling.
If it's really here, that's where the "Stone Xiao Zhong Ming", one of the eight scenic spots in Yuxiang, happened.
On the hillside, in the valley, there are pear blossoms everywhere.
Yellow thorn rose by the stream
In Qinglongyu Valley, layers of strange rocks can be seen everywhere. It is a kind of shale, which belongs to sedimentary rocks and has obvious bedding.
Layers of rocks, orderly and neatly constitute the mountain.
A rock layer beside running water. I think a reservoir should be built in this Qinglong Valley to stop floods and store water for the benefit of the people.
Under the towering cliff, there is a layer of mudstone, which is washed away by the current, and the rock above will collapse due to the loss of support, thus forming a cliff.
The sun is shining and the spring is full.
I visited the ancient villages and Qinglong Valley on the spot with Taitai's article "A Textual Research on the Origins of China and the Ruins of Lu Yu". I have both gains and regrets, but I'm glad you came.
At the end of the day, I walked more than 30 miles. Thanks to Mr. Zhao Xinshe and Mr. Zhang for their company. Although I am a little tired, I am happy to organize and edit this article at the moment.
