The Xianju culture has a long history and rich heritage. As early as 4000-7000 years ago, people lived and multiplied in this land. According to archaeological discoveries, the Xiatang Neolithic site is similar to the sites of the Hemudu and Liangzhu cultures. They are no less than inferior, and have successively revealed the dawn of early Chinese civilization. According to research at the Xiatang site, 6-7 thousand years ago, the Ouyue people, the ancestors of the Xianju people, already lived in the valley plain in the west of the middle and lower reaches of Yong'an River. In the third year of Yonghe reign of Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xianju County was established and named Le'an. It was abandoned several times during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. In the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties, Le'an County was renamed Yong'an County to control the Meng River flood. People use this to hope for eternal peace. Xianju County was established in AD 347. In the fourth year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty (1007), Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty Zhao Heng issued an edict and named it Xianju because of its "famous mountain in the cave, shielding Zhou Wei, and many houses of gods and immortals", which means " A place where immortals live”. It has been more than 1,600 years since the county was established. (There are ruins of Xiatang primitive society village in the Neolithic Age about 7,000 years ago.

The Stone Zen Temple (today's name is Daxing Temple) built in the first year of Xingping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (194). The first temple in Taizhou. Outside the temple, there is the world's largest existing Jin Dynasty cliff stone inscription with the word "Buddha". There have been many talents in the past dynasties. Xiang Si, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, has a volume of his poems, and it has been passed down through the ages to "speak of Xiang" when meeting people. A classic story.

It is known as "the first ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River", "the first ancient street in East China (dragon shape)", and "living specimen of folk houses in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties of China" . Jingxingyan Scenic Spot was opened to the public on September 14, 2002. The Jingxingyan Scenic Spot was approved by the State Council as a national key scenic spot on May 17, 2002. The scenic spot is located 27 kilometers west of Xianju City. It has a total area of ??27.3 square kilometers and an altitude of 742 meters, adjacent to the Shenxianju Scenic Area.
The whole mountain of Jingxingyan is long from north to south and narrow from east to west. It rises from head to tail, like a giant ship moored here. Two high-speed elevators take you directly to the magical peaks and cliffs of the scenic spot, making Sendai Luk Keng Pavilion, Ring Bell Pavilion, etc. Attractions such as the Rock and the Godly Turtle Exploring the Moon are even more lifelike, and the picturesque green bamboo forest constitutes the unique landscape here. Jingxingyan Scenic Area not only has beautiful natural landscapes, but also has very rich cultural landscapes and splendid history and culture. Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been a grand Jingju Temple, a rare monk's death pagoda in the country, and a Fengshui treasure place that gathers the aura of the sun, moon and stars. The temple and other places of interest have a long history. After development, Jingxingyan has the longest moon-gazing corridor in the world (2 corridors, 5 corridors and 8 corridors), the elegant and quiet Moon-Wang Tower, Mengyue Tower, Bengyue Tower (guest rooms), and the antique Zuiyue Tower. (restaurant), a poetic leisure center, and the infinitely charming Songyue Field (entertainment). Jingxingyan Scenic Area is the best place for tourism, leisure, vacation, and meetings.
High-speed elevator: There are two methods to choose from to climb Jingxingyan. One is to take the sightseeing elevator directly to the top of the mountain; the other is to walk up the mountain from Shibapan. Today we chose to take the elevator up the mountain. This high-speed sightseeing elevator takes off and lands from a shaft-like cave. The lower half disappears into the cave and the upper half emerges from the sky. It only takes 45 seconds to take you to a 128-meter-high hillside. When you reach the top of the mountain, the ancient people's emotional dream of "climbing up to the nine heavens to grasp the moon" can shorten the distance in time and space, and the stars will shift, which will definitely arouse your beautiful reverie. This mountain with an altitude of 742 meters stands out from the sky, with a total area of ??27.3 square kilometers. It has typical rhyolite landform features and has always been a famous tourist attraction in Xianju. "Looking at the Stars and Looking at the Moon", people climb up to admire the moon as if they encounter a clear sky, but they see the bright moon in the sky, lying across the sky, and there is a bronze mirror-like moon pool next to it, which reflects the bright moon in the sky on the water. The mountain wind blows, and the blue waves ripple lightly. The stunning color of water and sky has attracted many tourists to admire the moon since ancient times.
Pegasus welcomes guests: We arrived at the top of the mountain, got off the elevator, and first came to enjoy the distant view. Standing on one side of the moon-gazing corridor, looking at the opposite mountain, we saw a horse with spread wings and ready to fly, running towards us. Come, this is the "Pegasus to Welcome Guests", one of the scenery of Jingxingyan. This horse is flapping its wings to express a warm welcome to everyone. Tourists, the construction of Jingxingyan Scenic Area has been completed, and the official welcome to guests will be on September 14, 2002. This year is the year of Renwu in the family calendar, that is, the year of the horse in the Chinese zodiac, so "Pegasus Welcomes Guests" is Has a double meaning. Immortal Cave: The magical Immortal Cave: In winter, the rest of Tianshan Mountain is covered with ice and snow, but the cave entrance is extremely warm, without any frost or ice. A few hundred meters away from the cave entrance, you can see steam and smoke filling the entrance of the Hot Wind Cave. Some people say that gods are cooking below, but the water vapor rises all the year round. You might as well reach out and feel it to bring some fairy spirit back with you.
The roar of beasts: The steep mountains over there look like various mythical beasts roaring up to the sky. This scene is called "the roar of beasts". Careful tourists will find that among the mythical beasts there are the thousand-year-old turtle looking back with its head raised; the eagle spreading its wings eagerly; a pair of affectionate mandarin ducks; the Pegasus running with its wings spread, etc.
Liangfeng Cave: Standing here, he can feel the coolness at noon in the scorching summer sun. If he listens carefully, he can hear the sound of water dripping. This is the Liangfeng Cave. It turns out that Liangfeng Dongting Lake is a rock-free fracture zone that is open at the north end and closed at the south end. Because it is connected to the south cave entrance, the perennial lush forests and bamboos cover the cave entrance and the temperature is low. Coupled with the cooling effect of the water in the cracks, cold wind blows upward from the cracks, causing hot weather. The summer brings a little bit of coolness.
Ringing Rock: This is a building more than 100 meters high, with three cliffs forming a deep ravine less than one meter wide. Ringing Bell Rock got its name because the stone guan was thrown into the ravine and hit the left and right tower walls. The "ring" vibrated and jingled, and the up and down sound lasted for half a minute, so the locals called it " "Ringling Rock". When tourists arrive at Jingxing Rock, they will pick up two stones and throw them at the Ringing Rock, and the throwing methods are different. The first piece is thrown with the right hand, while the latter piece is thrown slowly with the left hand. Why? Because the former piece represents bad luck and troubles, so throw it hard; the latter piece represents wishes, what are you thinking about? After throwing this stone, you will definitely get what you want in the future, and you will have good luck and good luck in the future, so throw it lightly. Therefore, Ringing Rock is also called "Heart-washing Valley". Just throw in such a two-sided stone, and you will feel refreshed and suddenly enlightened. You might as well try it, it is really a pleasure to throw stones to get ringing; Distressing things, throwing stones and hearing the sound are not endless fun for you to listen to.
Zuiyue Tower: This building that combines ancient and modern times in the southwest is the "Zuiyue Tower". Zuiyue Tower is a place for tourists to dine. The private rooms here are designed and built according to the specifications of a large hotel. The first and second floors are large The restaurant is spacious and bright. The dishes here are cooked by senior chefs and are full of flavor and flavor. The dishes here include Xianju's local specialties, such as dried vegetables, three-yellow chicken, etc. Please come here to taste our famous "mountain cuisine" in Xianju .On the left, this small and exquisite white building is the Benyue Building (accommodation building) in the scenic area.
Elephant Trunk Rock: Standing on the observation deck and looking down, I saw a huge rock The body is protruding in the middle and slightly concave on both sides, resembling an elephant's head. Because it is lifelike and resembles a giant elephant, people call it "Elephant Trunk Rock". This is one of the classic attractions in the scenic spot, "Elephant Guarding Rock". Photography Enthusiasts only need to point the lens at it and click the shutter, and a good photo will come out. In the national newspaper photography competition at the end of June 2002, the first prize was produced here. The work is a wonderful combination of the sacred elephant Shouyan and the ringing pavilion shrouded in fairy mist after the rain. It is like a traditional Chinese painting written by an artist. It is so beautiful!
Star-Zhaing Pavilion: When I came to the Star-Zhaing Pavilion, I saw couplets on the pavilion. It is written that "it is not easy to climb the mountain, no matter how fearless you are, but it is difficult to reach the moon. If you have ambition and achievements, you can achieve success." It praises the sages and inspires future generations. Reaching for the stars also means that we hope that future generations will work hard to learn from the sages and have the courage to do so. Climb the peak, win the laurel crown, and become a dazzling new star. Reading Hall: Calling it a hall is not actually a hall building. It is just a stone table and stone chairs carved into a recessed rock wall. The cliff above is abrupt. Sheltered from the wind and rain, with an abyss ahead and a quiet environment, it was in this simple and steep place that three famous celebrities in history studied hard here to cultivate their character. They were Wu Fu, a direct scholar of Longtuge in the Song Dynasty; and Zuo Duyu of the Ming Dynasty. Shi Hao Shilai and Deputy Capital Censor Li Yihan, etc. Here I would like to introduce Wu Shilai to you. Wu Shilai was a native of Houren Village, Baita Town, Xianju. He was born in the sixth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1527 AD) and died in Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. In the eighteenth year (AD 1590), he finally became the censor of Zuodu, and was known as Wu Dutang (the chief official of the capital procuratorate). When Wu Shilai was young, his younger brother passed away due to illness in the Beijing examination. After returning home, he immediately came to Jingxingyan and lived there. He did not come down from the mountain for three whole years, and then went down to rush for the examination. Finally, in the 32nd year of Jiajing (1553 AD), he passed the Jinshi level. . When Wu Shilai was an official, he was most famous for resisting Japanese pirates and fighting against treacherous officials internally. The story of "Wu Shilai's outsmarting Yan Song" is still circulated among the immortals! Although Wu Shilai was a big bureaucrat in the feudal era, he was unswerving in his "loyalty to eliminate bad government and bravely denounce the traitors". "'s deeds illuminated the annals of history, were widely circulated, and were praised by people of all ages. Therefore, local people will bring their children who are studying here to burn incense and light candles, and also let the children sit where Wu Shi once sat, hoping that they can also become knowledgeable people and pillars of the country. This is the place where Wu Shilai once sat. This location is really strange. There is a rock protruding from it, like a dragon head. According to Feng Shui master, this location gathers the aura of the sun, moon and stars, and there is a dragon head to protect the top. , people call it the "No. 1 Scholar's Chair." As long as you sit on it, your studies will progress further, those who are officials will have a prosperous career, and those who do business will also have abundant financial resources. Dear tourists, you may wish to take a seat and give it a try, it will definitely bring you good luck. By the way, you can take a look at the scenic window here for a unique idea.
Here are several stories about Wu Shilai. The first story tells about his "contribution to defending the country against Japanese aggression". In the 32nd year of Jiajing (i.e. 1553), Wu Shilai served as an official in Songjiang, Shanghai. The official rank was the seventh rank, and he was in charge of prisons. That year, Japanese pirates invaded Song and soldiers pressed into the territory. People living outside the city flocked into the city in large numbers. Many officials proposed closing the city gates to prevent people from entering the city in order to reduce the burden on the city. Wu Shilai argued against all opinions and said: "My people are not outside the city." He opened the city gates wide to allow the people to take refuge in the city, organized troops and horses to defend the city, and repelled Japanese pirate attacks many times. He analyzed that the Japanese pirates could not attack Jiaxing for a long time, so he secretly ordered the Wujiang County Magistrate to release water from the lake (Taihu Lake) to block the Japanese pirates in the water. Wu Shilai personally led the Fu Nian soldiers to pursue the victory and killed them in Wangjiangjing and Shenjiazhuang. Thousands of Japanese pirates were killed, and the rest were drowned in the river. This is the great victory of "Wangjiangjing and Shenjiazhuang" recorded in Ming history (Wu Shilai). The title of the second story is "This is how wealth can be achieved." After the great victories at Wangjiangjing and Shenzhuang, Wu Shilai became famous. Zhao Wenhua, the 16th son of the treacherous minister Yan Songqian, visited the south of the Yangtze River and summoned Wu Shilai. Wu Shilai paid homage to Zhao Wenhua and saw that he was arrogant. He sat upright and returned the gift, turned around and left. Zhao Wenhua was furious and immediately recommended someone else with the "Recommendation Chapter of the Remaining Rider".
Afterwards, someone said to Wu Shi, Zhao Wenhua is now a high-ranking official in the imperial court and has great power. Others try their best to flatter and support him. Today, Governor Zhao took the initiative to support you, but you turned around and left. As long as you tolerate a little jealousy, You will enjoy endless glory and wealth throughout your life. Wu Shilai said: "This is how wealth can be achieved." Mengyue Tower: There is a small hill opposite, which is shaped like the wooden fish struck by the monks in the temple, so people called it "Muyu Mountain". On the east side of the main hall of Jingju Temple is the Mengyue Tower. If you stay there at night, your ancestors and gods can entrust you with dreams. It is said to be very effective. Those who want to realize their dreams will definitely make their dreams come true if they stay here at night.
Jingju Temple: Jingxingyan is not only a place for reading, but also a pure place for Buddhism. After attending the reading hall, please go a few hundred steps eastward to visit "Jingju Temple" and "Hu "Gongmiao" remains. Standing here, you can see the Jingju Temple as the center, the surrounding peaks, the handrails on the east and west sides, the Back Mountain in the south, and the platform and Muqian Mountain in the north. If you are careful, you will definitely find that this is the golden chair where the emperor sat. Jingju Temple is located right in the center of this golden chair. It is an excellent Feng Shui treasure land. Therefore, since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the temple has been very popular. Please ask for fortune-telling. It is very effective. This hilltop-style building with double eaves is the main building of Jingju Temple, the Main Hall. The Buddha in the middle is the Buddha Sakyamuni. According to legend, he was the son of King Suddhodana of Kapilavastu in ancient northern India (now in Nepal). His original name was Gautama Siddhartha. When he was 29 years old, he was deeply aware of the pain of life, old age, illness and death, and gave up his royal life to become a monk. After six years of hard training, he became enlightened under the Bodhi tree of Buddha Gaya at the age of 35, and founded Buddhism, which is said to be able to free all sentient beings from suffering. He is respectfully called "Sakyamuni" by Buddhist disciples, which means "the saint of the Sakyamuni clan" and "the wise man of the Sakyamuni clan".
The statues on both sides are two of the ten disciples of Buddha. The eldest is Mahakasyapa, the fourth disciple of Sakyamuni. The best practice is the symbol of "suffering". The young one is Ananda, the 9th disciple of Sakyamuni. He is the "No. 1 Tutu", that is, he has the best memory. He is also the representative of joy, Zhuangxi, and Immortality. There is a poem praising Ananda: "The face is like the pure full moon, and the eyes are like spring lotus flowers. It can convince people, and those who see it are very happy." In other words: believers have all kinds of good wishes, and they must pay homage to Ananda. Tuo. Surrounding us are the eighteen Arhats that we are familiar with. According to Xuanzang's translation of "Fa Zhu Ji", Sakyamuni ordered sixteen Arhats to go to the world to help all living beings. Together with the Arhats who subdued the dragon and the tiger, they were collectively called the Eighteen Arhats. .
Lookout Pavilion: The terrain here is high and steep, with vast distances on three sides and a cliff. Standing here, will you feel a sense of "auspicious clouds rising under your feet?" When you get here, you should bring some fairy spirit with you, and sit down with the earth in front of you. How about the feeling of "passionate" after that? Indeed, we looked far into the distance and had an unobstructed view of villages, towns, lakes, and streams covering an area of ??ten square kilometers. When the weather is clear, we can still vaguely see the Longhuang Summit TV Tower and the TV Tower on the top of Xianju County, 25 kilometers away. The Fuying Pagoda on Tashan Mountain is really like this: looking at China as far as the eye can see, the vast universe supports half of the wall, and the chest fills the sea and leans against a pavilion under the windless moon. Taking a bird's-eye view of Xiatang Village at the foot of the mountain, what we see are ancient folk houses from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It consists of numerous courtyards connected one after another. On rainy days, you can walk through all the houses through one door without getting wet. Looking from top to bottom, it looks like a maze, so ingenious and amazing! Now let us look far away at the top of the mountain opposite. Does it look like an art gallery carefully crafted by a master sculptor? The thousand-year-old turtle, Pegasus welcoming guests, and mandarin ducks Playing in the water, eagles spreading their wings, Zhuangyuan Scroll, Bijia Peak... they are elegant, unique and lifelike, and the images are a treasure house of art that is rare in the world.

Yong'an River rafting is equipped with a singer guide, which is the first rafting in the country. It is praised by the media as "Liu Sanjie on the Bamboo Raft".
Botan Ancient Town: After thousands of years of ups and downs, Botan still preserves the three-mile long cobblestone-paved "dragon"-shaped ancient street. Along the street, there are a large number of well-preserved ancient residences left over from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods, as well as the majestic and beautifully laid-out "Three-Touch Nine-Door Hall" and Tongjiang Academy where Zhu Xi sent his son to study. Botan has a profound cultural heritage, and there are also needle-punched boneless lanterns that have won the gold medal at the China Art Exhibition and the 4th International Expo and are known as "China's No. 1 Lantern".

Legend has it that in ancient times, after the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and fought against the Dragon King, on their way back to the Immortal Residence, they saw loud drum music and lanterns and colorful decorations in the neighboring village of Huatan. A delicious dish (namely lotus seeds, Xiangzi sea cucumber, Zhongli bowl of pork, Guojiu pickled fish, Dongbin big fish, Tieguaikao meat, Xiangu pork skin pickle, Guolao tofu) was served to celebrate. Soon, the people in Xianju renamed the square table used for eating as the Eight Immortals table.
