The Shuoduogang River flowing under the Tiansheng Bridge has also been endowed with a tenacious character by the Tibetans. Legend has it that the Shuoduogang River and the Nagqu River flowing through Zhongdian City are sisters born from the same mother. The two of them fled to the sea together and set off from the snow-capped mountains at the same time. When we came to Tianshengqiao, we were blocked by a solid stone cliff. My sister's Nagqu River retreated and diverted to the Dazhongdian grassland. My sister's Shuoduogang River was not afraid of hardships and broke through the stone cliffs and rushed forward...
Tiansheng Bridge is the strongest link on the Tea Horse Road, and it is also a magnetic field. It is first-class ancient and first-class modern. It exudes a magnetic force that makes people wander around. The more sensitive spiritual compass will feel strongly here. The stacked stone flakes in the Tianshengqiao Scenic Area seem to be giant books recording the rich history of Shangri-La, providing the world with a code to decipher the Ancient Tea Horse Road.
On the cliff at the southern end of Tiansheng Bridge is a poem from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, which describes and laments the natural scenery of Tiansheng Bridge. This is enough to show that Tiansheng Bridge occupied a very important position in the Diqing area a long time ago. 2023 Shangri-La Tour Guide Selection 2
Hello everyone! On behalf of __ Travel Agency, I welcome everyone to Yunnan and extend a warm welcome to everyone for joining our travel group. I am your tour guide, my name is __, you can call me little x or guide x. Today we will visit Longmen. Longmen is an important scenic spot in Kunming. In the past, we used to appreciate it from the perspective of history and poetry. Now we might as well change the way and observe Longmen from the perspective of Feng Shui.
What is "Feng Shui"? On the surface, it refers to wind and water, which are phenomena in nature. Therefore, there have been various interpretations of the word "Feng Shui" throughout the ages. The first person to define Feng Shui in history was Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty. He said in "The Book of Burial": "Those who are buried take advantage of the Qi. The Qi will be dispersed by the wind, but will stop by the boundary water. The ancients gathered them together so that they would not disperse. "Feng Shui" is defined in "Ci Hai" as follows: "Feng Shui, also called Kan Yu, is a superstitious belief in the old China that the wind direction and water flow around residential sites or cemeteries are related to each other. The situation can bring misfortunes and blessings to the family of the person who lives or is buried, and it also refers to the method of matching the house and the tomb. "In recent years, scholars have different opinions on the definition of "Cihai", and the main tendency is to equate Feng Shui with superstition. They believe that Feng Shui is a kind of environmental engineering that the ancients emphasized on the unity of nature and man, and the harmonious development of man and nature when they did not understand many modern scientific principles! Next, we will appreciate Longmen from the following different angles Feng Shui:
1. Why is the dragon gate built on the mountain? Asking this question may make some people laugh. 94% of Yunnan is mountainous, and the flat land is used to build buildings. Of course, the gantry must be built on the mountain! This understanding is very one-sided. In ancient times, when building a building, people liked to look at Feng Shui. To look at Feng Shui, you must first Watch "Dragon". The dragon is the dragon vein, and the changes of the dragon in Feng Shui represent the direction, ups and downs, turns and changes of the mountains. The main mountain is called "Lailong", and the mountain ridge winding down from the top is called "Dragon Vein", also known as Qumai, from which the idiom "Lailong Qumai" comes. Mountains have different movements, so dragons have different postures. Feng Shui divides dragon trends into five types, namely: 1. Those running from north to south are called positive trends; 2. Those running from west to east are called lateral trends; 3. Those going up against the current are called counter trends; 4. Those running down the water. It is called following the trend; 5. Looking at the beginning and the end is called the retracement trend. By the way, why is the dragon's profile "from west to east" or not "from east to west"? Feng shui masters often use the four major rivers in our country to divide the dragon's veins, which are called the three major dragons. The mountains south of the Yangtze River are called Nanlong, the mountains between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are called Zhonglong, and the mountains between the Yellow River and the Yalu River are called Beilong. The starting point of the three major Qianlong is Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain is located in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in western China, so here we say "from west to east". The dragon gate was built on the west mountain of Kunming, taking into account the "dragon" in Feng Shui.
2. The Dragon Gate was built at the east foot of the Western Mountain, which is also very particular! In addition to looking at the "dragon", there are two important factors in Feng Shui. The first is to look at the "water". In real life, The emphasis on "water" abounds. For example, there is a large reservoir on the roof of the HSBC Bank in Hong Kong. This is neither a swimming pool nor a fish pond, but a "feng shui pond"! Feng Shui believes that "water" It is for gathering wealth. The five elements are mutually reinforcing "gold generates water". When gold melts, it becomes something like "water". "Water" represents wealth in Feng Shui! The second thing is to look at "Xiang", which is the direction. It is written in the Feng Shui book: "If the dragon is facing the west, it is better to sit north to south (sunny slope); if the dragon is moving north or south, it is better to sit on the east slope. The general principle is to face the mountains with your back to welcome good luck and avoid evil.
"The Xishan Mountain in Kunming is a mountain range that runs from north to south, that is, the "dragon moves north and south." Therefore, most of the important buildings in the Xishan Mountain, including the Dragon Gate, are located on the east slope of the Xishan Mountain. The easternmost side faces the Dianchi Lake. It is indeed a piece of land. A treasure of Feng Shui!
3. Why is Kuixing enshrined in Datian Pavilion in Longmen? There is a saying in the Feng Shui book: The flying dragon is in the sky, the overlord takes off his armor, one armor controls three mountains, and three mountains have three acupoints. When the dragon flies into the sky, it will leave behind two things: one is the water on the dragon's body, and the other is the three scales on the head, body and tail. The water on the mountain becomes Dianchi Lake, and the scales left on the dragon's body are like the scales of the king of Chu. Like the armor underneath, these three scales form three mountains, each of which has an acupuncture point, called the Cai point, the Wisdom point, and the Quan point. Our Xishan Longmen belongs to the Wisdom point, one of the three points. I wonder if you paid attention to the surrounding terrain when you took the Zuoganmen cable car? You will find that there are many stones, very little soil, and the trees are not very tall. What does this mean? It means that the soil here is not very thick, so the tree roots cannot take root. Deep, the trees are not very tall. According to the principle of the five elements (i.e., earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth), earth generates metal. If there is not much earth, there will be no metal. If there are too many, wealth will not be prosperous, so Longmen is not a wealth cave; but the Feng Shui book also says: "Soil is the dragon's flesh, water is the dragon's blood, stone is the dragon's bones, and vegetation is the dragon's hair. "What we pay attention to when writing articles is that the articles must have "literary bones". Only when we write well can we win the first prize and be "titled on the gold list"! As the wisdom point, Xishan Longmen naturally enshrines Kuixing, the god of literary luck and martial luck. The god Guan Yu, the god of fame and fortune, Emperor Wenchang! 2023 Shangri-La Guide Selection Part 3
Dear tourists:
Luoping is a small town located at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Known as the "Three Provinces of Rooster Cry", it is an ideal tourist destination due to its aura of mountains, rivers and lakes. For fun, the minibuses on the road stop at any time. In Luoping, we mainly take pictures of rapeseed flowers, and visit Jinji, Niujie, Duoyi River and Jiulong Waterfall. According to the beekeepers in Luoping, it can be roughly. Like this: Luoping, Qujing City, Yunnan in March; Hanzhong, Shaanxi Province in late April; Luoning County, Luoyang City, Henan Province in mid-May; Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province in early June; Guinan County, Qinghai Province in mid-July... Rapeseed fields can be found in many places across the country. , but there are still relatively few in such a large area as Luoping. Generally speaking, there are beautiful cauliflowers on the top of Jiulong Waterfall. If you can’t see them only in the lower reaches, you can also go to Jinjiling, Dashuijing, etc.
The Luoping Rapeseed Flower Tourism Festival usually starts around January every year. Usually, the rape flowers bloom after the Spring Festival. You should pay attention to the timing of the rape flowers blooming. The flowers bloom early when the weather is warm, and they will definitely not bloom in March; If it is warmer, the flowering period will be later. There is no specific day and it varies every year. Generally speaking, the peak period of rapeseed flowers is around the 15th day of the first lunar month.
The best time to take pictures and enjoy flowers. Best location:
1. The most recommended one is Jinji Peak in the northeast of the county. When you climb Jinji Peak, you will see that the rapeseed fields are relatively flat, and there are some solitary peaks rising a little further away, which makes it look very majestic. The photos of Luoping Flower Sea were all taken here.
2. On the way from the county town to Duoyi River Scenic Village, the terrain here is undulating, and the flower fields are planted in terraces according to the terrain. It is a good place to take photos.
3. Niujie Township in the north of the city. There are terraces here, some of which are planted with rapeseed, and some with other crops such as wheat and vegetables. Various colors are intertwined with golden roosters. The sea of ??flowers is a kind of charm.
4. There are beautiful cauliflowers on the top of Jiulong Waterfall, but you can’t see them if you only go downstream. In fact, the best thing to see is the train from Kunming to Luoping. The cauliflowers you saw above are very layered. Tips:
1. It is generally advisable to spend 2 days visiting Luoping. On the first day, you can see thousands of acres of cauliflowers, and on the second day, you can go to Jiulong Waterfall, Tour of Duoyi River Scenic Area
2. Jiulong Waterfall and Duoyi River are on the same line, forming a tourist loop with Lubuge Little Three Gorges. According to some tourists, Lubuge Little Three Gorges is nothing. I mean, it’s better to see the beautiful scenery of cauliflower at sunrise and sunset. The other two places are worth visiting, although I still feel a little tired after a day trip.
3. Don’t go to local attractions that charge tickets. What features, and expensive.
4. The sunshine in Qujing is strong, especially in the Duoyi River area. The altitude is about 1,000 meters lower than other scenic spots in Luoping. The climate is relatively hot, so be sure to bring a sun umbrella and sunscreen. 2023 Shangri-La Tour Guide Selection 4
