Bagong Mountain has a long history, which was called Beishan, Fuling and Zijinshan in ancient times. As early as the end of primitive society and slave society, there lived a Huai Yi tribe in the Huaihe River Basin. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, a vassal state named "Zhoulai" was established, and the capital city was under Bagong Mountain. The name "Bagong Mountain" comes from the myth that Liu An, the king of Huainan in the Western Han Dynasty, learned Taoism and became immortal.
Bagongshan is one of the important birthplaces of Chu-Han culture in ancient China, and because of its important position of "the throat of Zhongzhou is the barrier of the south of the Yangtze River", there are frequent wars in history, rich relics and many legends. Except for the allusion of "one person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven", the story of "the wind is trembling and the grass is full of soldiers" later made Bagongshan even more famous.
Although some remains have disappeared for a long time, there are still many famous cultural relics and historic sites here, such as Huainan insect fossils, the ancient battlefield of the Battle of Feishui, the famous private garden in Jianghuai-Sunjia Garden, and many ancient temples, temples, pagodas and ancient roads. The profound cultural origin makes every grass, tree, mountain, stone, water and pool of this famous mountain have historical charm.
The rich natural resources of Bagong Mountain can be summarized in eight words: "dense forest, strange rocks, ancient springs and beautiful waters". There are natural secondary forests with an area of 10 square kilometers, with good vegetation protection, tall trees, various tree species and dense forests. Due to the erosion, dissolution and weathering of flowing water, the exposed limestone body has deep flow lines and vivid shapes, which are like miniature "splendid rivers and mountains" and arranged in a "stone forest" shape, stretching for several square kilometers, which is very magnificent.
There are more than ten famous springs, such as Xiyun Spring, Lanxiang Spring, Bi Yue Quan Spring and Yulu Spring, which are recorded in the Notes on Water Classics and local chronicles. Nantang Lake, with a water surface of hundreds of acres, is like a clean pearl, embedded in the mountains, and Baie Mountain, the main peak of Bagong Mountain, is above the peaks.
Because of its profound historical and cultural connotation and superior natural conditions, Bagong Mountain was named as a provincial-level scenic spot by the provincial people's government as early as 1987. At that time, bagongshan district, Huainan City, which governed the elite area of Bagong Mountain, took Nantang Lake as the center and carried out early development. It invested more than 5 million yuan to build the main road and the road around the lake, built a promenade, a swimming pool and a parking lot, and carried out the protection of Huainan insect fossils and important historical sites.
With the deepening of reform and opening up, social progress and the development of tourism, the industrial status of tourism has become increasingly prominent, the proportion of industry has become larger and larger, and the industrial image has become increasingly clear. In the tourism development system of Huainan City, Bagong Mountain is not only an important scenic spot in Huainan tourism development, but also one of the important scenic spots in northern Anhui tourism development and one of the important scenic spots in Anhui tourism development.
Introduction of tourist attractions in Bagong Mountain
Bagongshan Wangqing Valley
Wangqing Valley is located in the hinterland of Bagong Mountain, adjacent to the famous scenic spot Sunjiayuan. The valley is 2.3 kilometers long, northeast-southwest, meandering around and spiraling up, with a valley gap of 160 meters. According to legend, after the construction of the Qinglang Pavilion, Sun Pan studied and studied painting, sent his feelings to the mountains and rivers, and forgot the troubles in the world. Seeing that this valley is quiet and pleasant, he wrote the word "forgetful" on a huge stone in the valley. Because of its long history, the original trace is untraceable. There are winding streams in the valley, and the sound of water is like singing. On both sides of the canyon, ancient trees are towering, trees are among rocks, and stone columns are clustered around the valley, which is grotesque. There are strange flowers and grasses in the forest, birds singing and butterflies flying, which is indeed a tourist, leisure and summer resort
Bagongshan Ganlong Jade Bamboo Shoots
The "Qinglang Pavilion" Valley is called Sunjia Garden, which was built by Sunpan in Shouzhou. It is located at the foot of Baie Mountain, with an original site area of about 66,000 square meters, and is one of the scenic spots in Bagong District. Sun Pan was born in the Imperial Examination. In the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, in order to be a historian in the city, he was unwilling to make false statements about historical records, resigned from his post and returned to his hometown. He chose the beautiful Bai 'e Mountain in Bagong Mountain to build the "Qinglang Xuan Pavilion", planted flowers and trees, practiced calligraphy, cultivated self-cultivation, and supported his life.
Bai 'e Mountain is the highest peak in Huainan, with an altitude of 24 1 m. The mountain is steep and steep, the valley is quiet and deep, and the mountains are full of green springs. There are many strange rocks and rocks, with different styles and tastes. The mountains are green and green, Lin Tao is rolling, and colorful mountain flowers are swaying, just like a painting screen. When the Qing emperor went down to the south of the Yangtze River, he passed by here and visited the beautiful mountains. He saw strange rocks and rocks like bamboo shoots, which were full of fun, and he wrote the word "jade bamboo shoots" on the rock wall of the first world. After the engraving, the handwriting is still clearly visible, despite more than a hundred years of wind and rain.
The scenic spot of "Qinglangxuan Pavilion" once attracted many tourists, but it was damaged by various reasons such as bandits. However, with the deepening of the country's opening-up policy and the development of tourism, "Qinglangxuan Pavilion" will surely welcome guests from all over the world with a brand-new attitude.
Bagongshan Shimentan
Shimen Lake is located in Nantang Village, Wangzhen Town, bagongshan district, where "the big rocks are like ugly doors" and it is one of the natural landscapes of Bagong Mountain. According to "Fengtai Ancient Records", "Yuntiao Mountain and Yinxi Mountain face each other as a stone gate, and the two mountains meet and there is a gap in the middle. The gate is 20 feet high, facing north and south in the west. The distance between the two cliffs is 10, and there is a pool in the middle, with a diameter of 10, and a depth of three feet. The pool water does not dry up all the year round, and it overflows the big stone mountain. " Near the Shimen, the cliffs are soaring and reaching the sky. On the cliff head-on, there are three giant characters carved with "Shimentan", which are vigorous and tall. The local legend was written by Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was trapped in Nantang. Literary historians say that it was written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, on the grounds that there is a record of washing the cloud spring in the Notes on Water Classics: "Washing the cloud spring is clean, clearing the heart and bones, and tastes sweet, which is above pearls and soaking the moon". Xiyunquan is the source of Shimen Lake, and Li Daoyuan must pass through Shimen Lake when surveying Xiyunquan.
When you enter Shimen, you will be in a "first sight". Suddenly, I came to a basin embraced by mountains, the inscription on Shimentan, and the pavilion of Xiyunquan, which was exposed in clusters of peach trees. Legend has it that this is the camp in Shouzhou, Zhao Kuangyin, and the ancient battlefield where the troops stationed in the later Zhou Dynasty fought and sank sand. "Several times, I have known each other and wept for Gong E", and the battle of Southern Tang Dynasty in the later Zhou Dynasty left a sad song for Li Houzhu.
Shimentan is an ancient cultural corridor in Bagongshan, with ancient tombs and sites nearby, which is the place where ancient literati set foot. Nowadays, bagongshan district and Shanwang Town focus on developing tourism resources in Shimentan, and have built long corridors, bamboo houses and Nantang Road in Nantang Lake, developing a number of tertiary industries and formulating a series of preferential policies for the development of Shimentan. A few days ago, a group of people of insight have invested in Shimentan.
Bagongshan Lejian Tao Scenic Resort
Lejian Tao Scenic Resort, commonly known as Laojiantao, is located 2 kilometers west of Nantang. Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the water on one side, the mountains are high and dense, and the emerald color is intoxicating. 1978 years later, archaeologists discovered paleontological fossil accumulation layers in this area. The plant fossils deposited in it include algae, single leaves and compound leaves, which can be picked up at will. After spreading, the stems of the plants are distinct, with different postures and patterns like dripping ink paintings.
Bagongshan Bixia Yuanjun Temple
At the top of the main peak of Bagong Mountain, there used to be Bixia Yuanjun Temple. The temple is located at the top of Sixiang Mountain, so it is also called Four Grandma Temple. This is one of the historical sites of Bagong Mountain. The temple hall was named after the name of the princess Bixia Yuan. Many people in Shoufeng also call Shenfei the "four grandmothers", so there are many people who know the four grandmothers' temples, and few people call it Bixia Yuanjun Temple. Ming Li Yong recorded Jiajing's Shouzhou Annals as "Dongyue Temple", while Qing Li Liyuan Jiaqing's Fengtai County Annals as "Yuanjun Temple".
There is no test on the founding date of Yuanjun Temple (Siding Grandma Temple). According to "Fengtai County Records", Wu Fangchun, a citizen of Jiaqing County, had damaged capital for maintenance. Records of Fengtai County: In August of the 19th year of Jiaqing, the Palace of Bixia Yuanjun in Beishan was built. Newly-revised inscriptions briefly say: "Only Bixia Yuanjun, the princess of Daizong in Dongyue, has a palace and worships Zishan; Linggong has a year, and Liang Dong is rotten. Wu Jin Li Jun, who has been a palace for five years, has been in the valley for many years, and the people have no epidemic diseases. Wu Fangchun, a citizen of the county, used a certain amount of private money to choose an auspicious day and work hard. Carve a stone and remember it. "
Wu Gong can no longer be examined in detail. In addition to the Yuan statues, Guanyin and eighteen arhats were also offered in the temple. There was a fire during the Republic of China, and it was completely destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Today, there is no temple room, only the lonely mountain mausoleum, and every year only March 15 of the lunar calendar is visited.
