On the left side of the stone steps, there is a stele of Jide in 1068, the 36th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

Scenery

Qingyuan cave was built in Shaoxing period of Southern Song Dynasty, with Guankong building, Buddha Hall, Peixian temple and other buildings. It is said that during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a man named Pei daoren who came here to catch up with a python that hurt people. He saw the python escape into the cave, so he covered it with stones and sat at the cave entrance, which made it a disaster that the python could not come back. Therefore, the cave is also called Peixian cave. The rocks on the top of the cave, climbing with vines, are ancient. At the top of the cave, there were "quot" and "Qianfeng zicui Pavilion", but now only a few stone inscriptions of the past dynasties are left, such as "mouyan", "eclosion and immortality", "immortality is the name". In 1998, Peixian temple, Guanyin hall and Wenchang Pavilion were rebuilt on the original rectangular platform of Qingyuan cave.

On the top rock of Zhongfeng, there is a stone carving of "mountain and Sea Grand View" by Zeng Yankong of Sanhan in the sixth year of Kangxi (1667 A.D.). In the Ming Dynasty, Cai Qing said in his poem, "once you go to the first mountain, you will realize that all the mountains are small.". It's really a marvelous sight.

Not far below Qingyuan cave, there is an inscription by Yu Dayou, a famous Anti Japanese general of the Ming Dynasty. Yu Dayou (1503-1580), named Zhifu and Xujiang, was born in Quanzhou and served in the army for more than 40 years. Because of fighting against Japanese pirates and foreign aggression, he has made outstanding contributions and won a great reputation. He is the official commander and the Anti Japanese hero with Qi Jiguang. He is known as "Yu Long Qi Hu" in history. Later, Yu Dayou retired with success and wrote the four words "Jun en Shan Zhong" on the stone wall. This stone is a place where Yu Dayou studied, leaped and trained his martial arts when he was young. It is also called "gallstone for training". Among the stone walls of Dongfeng ancient road, Yu Dayou's stone inscription of expelling Japanese pirates and recovering Putian is a precious historical site of Anti Japanese war in Ming Dynasty.

The left peak of Qingyuan cave is also called Dongyan. Next to it is Zunyan, which is named because monks in Tang Dynasty can live in Zunyan. There are three pagodas in kezun, and the site still exists. Wang Shenzhong, the first of the eight gifted scholars in Jiajing, once studied in Zunyan and wrote Zunyan collection. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1609 AD), Jiang Zhili, the governor of Quanzhou, wrote "baizhangping" on the rock surface. The rock surface is wide and flat, which is also the place for Yu Dayou to practice martial arts.

Fengyu Qingyuan cave

Qingyuan cave is located in Fengyu Township, Eryuan County, Dali Prefecture, at the south end of Fengyu Tianma mountain, 23 kilometers away from the county seat. It is about 500 meters outside the cave by car, surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is a karst cave revealed by Fengyu Lake in ancient times. According to the third volume of "rebuilding dengchuanzhou annals", Qingyuan cave is located at the east foot of Fengyu. Its water flows counter current into the waves and crosses dengru'er. There are a lot of stone gates, stone pillars, stone tables and stone Buddhas in the cave. According to the brief annals of langwan County, "Qingyuan Dongshan (old Yunnan Tongzhi) is 40 Li southwest of the county. There is water in the cave, and the rock is flowing on it. The Qingyun ruqin (yitongzhi) cave is unfathomable. There are stone fields, stone beds, asbestos, stone lotus, stone beasts and so on. The stalagmites are hanging upside down, and the five color biqiquan is the source of Fengyu river.". On the top of the cave, there are three characters "Qingyuan cave", written by Yang Nanjin, the censor of Dengchuan. The entrance of Qingyuan cave is very narrow, which only allows one person to pass through. The cave is dark and you can't see five fingers. Visitors need to have lighting equipment and candles to enter the cave. Most of the stones in the cave are made of stalactite. The cave is divided into upper, middle and lower layers. There are a number of intricate small holes in it. The stalagmites, Stone Beasts, stone slow and stone forest in each cave are in various shapes and shapes, which are very spectacular and worth visiting Half a mile later, the view is spacious, with stone fields and caves in it. When you travel further, the scenery is different. Gurgling streams pass through the cave. It is said that the cave leads to louyi village in Dengchuan. The climate inside the cave is cold and in groups. Due to the darkness and climate, few people have taken a panoramic view. Xu Xiake once toured here and "burned Songming" into the cave. He wrote the story of traveling to Qingyuan. This article can be found in the brief annals of langwan county and Xu Xiake's travels. It was once written in the article that "two guides, one is responsible for a basket of Songming, and the other is burning Songming for a torch, but they don't have to see the whole picture". Many other tourists have witnessed the wonder of Qingyuan cave with their own eyes.

In ancient times, the Qingyuan cave meeting was held on June 13 of the lunar calendar. At that time, men, women, old and young from nearby villages gathered to pray for a good harvest. The scene was very lively. Those who attended the meeting were honored to visit the cave.

Outside Qingyuan cave, there is a clear stream with sweet water quality. It is the birthplace of Fengyu River and irrigates a large area of fertile land in Fengyu dam, which can directly benefit the masses. In recent years, local people have raised funds to build a dragon king temple near the mountain and water.

In order to fully protect and develop the resources of Qingyuan cave, Qingyuan cave was listed as the "West Lake Provincial Scenic Spot" in the 1990s, and a "Qingyuan cave protection station" was established near Qingyuan cave. It is a place for tourism and a good place for investigation and exploration.
