Lingbi, my hometown in Anhui Province, has been known as "Yellow Mountain Pine in the South and Lingbi Stone in the North" since ancient times. It is named after the beautiful mountains and rivers and the sound like bronze jade.
My hometown is low in terrain, with high terrain in the north and low terrain in the south, which is inclined to the northwest and southeast. The landform is characterized by "big flat and small unevenness", with the plain area accounting for 89.6% of the total area and thick yellow alluvial soil. The main hills in the territory belong to low hills and denuded residual mountains, which belong to Huaiyang mountain system and Xuhuai mountain range. There are more than 1 kinds of marble occurrences in China, which are divided into three categories: vegetable jade, Anhui snail and black jade. Wanluo deposit is located in Ermaoshan in Chaoyang town, also known as Ermaoshan marble mine, 55 kilometers away from the county seat. It was formed in the late Sinian Sidingshan period, about 7 million years ago. The ore body is a limestone formed by algae reef-building in shallow sea environment. The ore body * * * is divided into four layers, all on the northern slope of the mountain, in a strip shape, extending northeast and southwest, with a total length of 5 meters. The first layer is the gray snail, which is the top of the ore body, thick in the west and thin in the east, with a maximum thickness of 47 meters and a minimum thickness of 38 meters, most of which are exposed on the ground. The second layer is the red snail, about 8-11 meters thick, half of which is exposed on the ground and half of which is buried in the soil. The third layer is interlayer. It is a gray and red mixed stone with a thickness of about 18-21 meters. The fourth layer is brownish red marble, which is the bottom of the ore body and is about 24 meters thick. Three or four layers of stone are covered by clay, and the soil layer is about 4-1 meters deep, so it is difficult to mine. Anhui snail marble in Ermaoshan is characterized by beautiful patterns, fine texture and bright color, which can be processed into marble plates and used to make handicrafts. The reserve is 42,2 cubic meters.
Lingbi stone is not only developed early, but also enjoys a long-standing reputation, and has always occupied a prominent position in the stone-offering family. There are 116 kinds of stone products in Yunlin Stone Spectrum, and Lingbi stone is introduced in the first place. Wen Zhenheng, a Ming Dynasty writer, wrote "Chronicles of Long Stories", saying that "the stone is the best, and the stone is the second". "The first stone in the world"-Emperor Qianlong praised Lingbi stone so highly, which is not unreasonable. Lingbi Qing stone is ink-like and mirror-like, with beautiful color, clear and elegant threads, regular distribution, dense, delicate, tough and smooth texture, no speckles, stains, cracks and other defects, and large block size; The marble is dark in color, with metallic brilliance, simple and dignified. It is a good product for home, collection and gift to friends, showing artistic taste and cultural heritage. In addition, Lingbi Pian Stone is rich in a variety of trace elements beneficial to human body, and its surface is smooth and thick, and its texture is fine and honey, and its handicrafts, such as tea sets, stationery and needles, are precious.
According to Yu Gong, the earliest geography book in China, "Floating Qing on Sibin" is exactly the Qing Yunshan in Yugou District of Lingbi County. Its rock color is like ink, light is like a mirror, and sound is like bronze, which is praised by people of all ages, and the musical instruments made with it are more cherished by all ages. In the history of the Song Dynasty, there were many records of the royal families coming to Lingbi to pick up the voices. According to legend, in the Northern Song Dynasty, someone made an inkstone from marble, carved the picture of "Lingbi Xiaofeng" and dedicated it to Song Huizong, the emperor of the dynasty. Song Huizong was very fond of carving inkstones, so he wrote the words "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the truth comes out" next to Xiaofeng. Since then, the value of Lingbi Pianshi has doubled, making it even more eye-catching. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, more and more people came to Lingbi to collect stone. According to the record of Lingbi County, "the stone's light flashes and its color is like jade on the wall." The word "Lingbi" got its name from this.
Lingbi stone is not only rare and rare, but also noble and elegant. It is a treasure handed down from generation to generation. It must be hidden in the elegant world. It is hidden 6 meters underground and is unique to Yugou Town of Lingbi. It is named after its production in Qingyun Mountain, Yugou District, Lingbi County, Anhui Province. It has a long history and enjoys the reputation of "the first stone in the world". It is an early developed beautiful stone, ranking first. It is also known as the "Eight-tone Stone". Its sound is like bronze, and its rhyme is pleasant. The musical instruments made by it are cherished by all dynasties. In 1986, with Lingbi Pian stone as raw material, ancient musical instruments such as Pian Pian, Yushouqing, Shifangxiang and Pian were carefully developed and put on the stage by Nanjing Song and Dance Troupe.
Since ancient times, Lingbi stone handicrafts have been used and collected by the royal families of past dynasties. Today, Lingbi stone handicrafts are still completely carved with whole stone, which not only inherits traditional crafts, but also integrates modern production techniques, and has high collection and use value. Because the resources of Lingbi stone are rare, the output is very small, and it is difficult to collect and make, especially the white stone handicrafts, which are really the best among handicrafts.
As far back as 3, years ago, it was discovered by people in the Yin Dynasty and used to make an important musical instrument-Teqing. Therefore, it is called Zhuanshi and Bayinshi. The music of Dongfanghong played by China's first artificial satellite was played with this arrangement, which was not only beautiful in sound, but also good in shape, quality and color. Cherished by celebrities of past dynasties.
Lingbi, my hometown, is also the birthplace of Zhong Kui's paintings. Zhong Kui's paintings generally refer to the portrait of Zhong Kui produced in Lingbi County, Anhui Province, and it is said that it can eliminate evil and eliminate disasters. According to folk legend, Zhong Kui's ghost-playing story is a household name, and it is even more suitable to show Zhong Kui as a Lingbi person, and Zhong Kui painted by Lingbi is his original portrait, and there is a saying that a "living Zhong Kui" is produced every year. This statement has also been verified in ancient books. Jin Zhi, a well-known scholar in the early Qing Dynasty, once recorded in his book "No Less Band": "... Zhong (Ben) is a clever man, and his descendants are still in the world, and most of them paint their ancestors with cinnabar and the goods are for food. There are county signers, and Ling You should be a cloud. " Zhong Kui, shown in Lingbi Zhong Kui's paintings, is brave and ferocious, and has a kind of boldness of vision that does not dare to be enemies. On the basis of continuing the tradition, Lingbi Zhong Kui's paintings have gradually formed a "sword-shaped eyebrows and tiger eyes, a broad campus, rough and strong, powerful and compelling, with no lack of charm in the rough and ugly, and elegant and unrestrained in the heroic spirit. With the passage of time, the theme of creation has become more colorful. On the eve of liberation, the Hundred Paintings painted by folk painter Han Bengui was published in Shanghai Shenbao, and the new long scroll of Hundred Paintings painted by modern painter Zhao Yingwen was once again presented to the world. Their similarities are manifested in their strange images, innocence or lines.
As soon as the overlord sighs and becomes a ghost hero, Yu Ji's grave is empty with poems. Located 7.5 kilometers east of the county seat, it is the tomb of Xiang Yu Aiji and a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. According to "Historical Records", in 22 BC, Xiang Yu was trapped by the Han army. At night, he heard that the Han army was besieged on all sides, and he expected that the big event had gone, so he drank a generous lament at night, and the concubine and the "Han soldiers" were slightly stunned and besieged on all sides. Your majesty's spirit is exhausted, and you can't live with your concubine. " Yin Ba committed suicide and was buried here by his subordinates. The cemetery covers an area of 3,942 square meters, and the tombs and tombstones have been renovated. Yu Ji died in the war, and she committed suicide, which is amazing and has been regarded as a heroine since ancient times. Gao Shi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, Su Shi, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Chengda, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, Feng Menglong, and Zheng Banqiao, a painter and painter in the Qing Dynasty, all visited Lingbi Yuji's Tomb to pay their respects to the concubine.
Most of the mountains in my hometown are not high, and there are no mountains and peaks that stand out suddenly, but several hills are closely connected, very tacit and United. Spotted marble adorns its body, and a few scattered pine trees stand proudly, which also shows its comeliness and eyesight.
the water in my hometown is quiet, peaceful and indifferent. There are beautiful scenery of lotus leaves in the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no atmosphere of rivers and waves. It just turns into many lakes, living in their respective areas, like the eyes of the yellow land, clear and shining.
The folks in my hometown are cultivating and keeping healthy in this beautiful land, building my hometown with their hard-working hands and drawing a beautiful and brand-new home.
