Yinping mountain

Yinping mountain

Yinping mountain is a majestic mountain among the mountains. It is named after a huge stone on the mountain, which looks like silver in color and vase in shape.

Around the Yinping mountain, there are nine peaks, shaped like a lion. They are named Jiushi mountain. The nine lions are different in seat, lying, standing and walking. The ancients said that "nine lions are dominant" and "nine lions are silver screen". There is a cliff in the south of the mountain. In the middle of winter, the snow cover is covered with ice and the silver is wrapped in plain clothes. The natural silver screen is very spectacular, so it is commonly known as "silver screen" by later generations.

brief introduction

There is a fairy cave on Yinping mountain, which is famous for its unique flowers, grotesque caves, exotic trees, ancient temples, famous pavilions and high pavilions. On the cliff at the entrance of the cave, there is a vigorous and green flower - the Millennium white peony "silver screen peony". When it comes to the valley rain, it is in full bloom. Visitors can only look up to its beautiful appearance, but it is far away. Its magic is that she has the spirit, can report abundant auspicious omen, foresee the year, so it is called "the most wonderful flower in the world". Peony Pavilion has three floors and octagons, which is called "the first Pavilion in Anhui". Longxing Temple, known as "Jiangbei Jiuhua" in ancient times, is full of fragrance; from peony pavilion to Longxing Temple, a sightseeing cableway has been opened.

Yinping mountain is the highest peak in Chaohu Lake, about 508 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by undulating mountains, surrounded by nine peaks, and looks like a lion. It is said that "nine lions embrace Yinping". The secluded valley, dense forest, karst caves and exotic flowers in the mountains make up a beautiful picture. Silver screen peony, known as "the most wonderful flower in the world", grows on a huge and smooth cliff. It is a natural wild white peony. It has a graceful appearance and has been young for thousands of years. It is rare in the world.

Because of its flowering sooner or later and how many predictable years, it is also called "Meteorological flower" by local people. Since ancient times, people from all over the world have spontaneously come to watch peony flowers whenever the rain is in full bloom. The scale has gradually expanded, and then a flower viewing Festival has been formed year after year, which has become a well-known "peony flower viewing Festival".

characteristic

1、 Enjoy the best flowers in the world and enjoy the warmth and coldness of the world

The wild white peony, which grows in the crevice of a cliff 30 meters above the ground, has a flowering age of more than 1300 years. It has been recorded since the Tang Dynasty. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, it is still in full bloom every rainy season. This flower is unique and can predict the year. People can predict the drought and flood of that year according to the blooming and withering of flowers and the number of flowers. It is predicted that drought will occur this year if the flowers bloom less than three and the flowering period is short; if the flowers bloom four, the weather will be good; if the flowers bloom five, the grain will be abundant; if the flowers bloom six, the livestock will be prosperous; if the flowering period is longer than seven, the flood may occur this year, so the folk praise it as "weather flower"; it is said that there are only two years of peony flowers in bud, in 1937 and 1976, so the folk also regard it as "God flower".

2、 Visit different caves, dengmingting and Baigu temple to enjoy the screen scenery

Xianren cave is located under the cliff of peony. It is a typical karst cave landscape with zigzag, jagged rocks and numerous bell milk. Peony Pavilion is located on the top of the moon. It has three floors and octagons. It is grand and elegant. It is known as "the first Pavilion in Anhui". The peak of Chaohu Lake, the top of Yinping mountain, is the best place for climbing in autumn. You can "see the jade belt of the Yangtze River in the South and watch the boats of Chaohu Lake in the north". The Longxing Temple on the top of the mountain is a perfect place for Buddhist worship.

3、 Jiuya tree

Another thing that makes visitors clap their hands is the three thousand year old trees growing here. One is called jiuya tree. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, no tree is perfect. But this tree just grew nine side branches. Tourists look up at the towering ancient trees, can not help but tut tut exclamation. However, some careful tourists found that this jiuya tree is missing one. In this regard, the guide explained: This is because one year, an ancient tree was struck by lightning, and a side branch was unfortunately broken. As for why is it so clever? It may be that this strange tree, which grows in the human world, has violated the heaven's mandate that "trees can't have nine branches" and has been punished by the God. Although it sounds superstitious, today visitors can see the place where ya Gan is broken. The other two odd trees are Phoebe with luxuriant branches and leaves. Gazing at the two accompanying Nanshu trees, which are like twin brothers, visitors feel even more magical and puzzled: how can Nanshu, who has always grown in southern China and likes high temperature and humidity, live and work here?

4、 Immortal cave

Immortal cave is famous for its unique flowers, grotesque caves, exotic trees, ancient temples, famous pavilions and high pavilions. On the cliff at the entrance of the cave, there is a vigorous and green jujube, a thousand year old white peony. Above the entrance of Xianren cave, there is a cliff with a height of 50-60 meters. In the crack of the rock, there is a vigorous and green jujube, ethereal and detached flower. This is the silver screen white peony, which has been known as "the most wonderful flower in the world" by the people for thousands of years. Every year before and after the rain, peony flowers are in full bloom. According to the number of flowers, it can predict the drought and flood weather in that year. In front of Xianren cave, there is a pair of twin nanmu and a nine branch broad-leaved willow. Rendong is a limestone cave. It is 20 meters high, 80 meters wide and several miles deep. It is said that it is the place where Cui Tianran and LV Dongbin cultivated themselves into immortals. The milk spring in the cave is dripping, colorful, gorgeous, two walls of strange rocks, row upon row.

5、 Peony Pavilion

Three layer star anise is known as "the first Pavilion in Anhui". Located on the top of the silver screen, it is in the architectural style of Hui style. When you climb on the top of the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of Chaohu Lake in the north and the Yangtze River in the south. The waves are like silver training, and the clouds and mountains are overlapped. The scenery is poetic and picturesque.

6、 Longxing Temple

Longxing Temple, known as "Jiangbei Jiuhua" in ancient times, stands on the Guanyin platform, the highest peak of Yinping mountain, and was built in the Qing Dynasty. From the Peony Pavilion to Longxing Temple, a sightseeing cableway has been opened.

7、 The most wonderful flower in the world

One wonder is the origin of peony. On the precipice, a tree with green branches and luxuriant leaves suddenly emerges from the barren stone. The second one is the age of peony. If we take Ouyang Xiu's poem "seeing flowers in immortal cave" in the Northern Song Dynasty as evidence, the peony on screen has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. No one knows when it was born, and the three wonders are the same appearance in a thousand years. Although the peony on screen has gone through thousands of years of wind, frost, snow and rain, the world is changing, that is, it does not wither, it does not lose, it does not grow and it does not branch. The blooming and withering of flowers can foretell the harvest of the new year. It is said that when five flowers bloom, the grain will be abundant, and when four flowers bloom, the harvest will be auspicious. If the flowers bloom early, there will be drought; if the flowers bloom late, there will be waterlogging. Over the past few years, through observation, the Peony Blossom situation on the verification of climate change is really convincing. In 1991, when China was flooded, many flowers bloomed, and the flowering period lasted from April 15 to May 5. This may be because the root of Paeonia suffruticosa is deeply rooted in the rock. In the year of flood, the underground water and gas are abundant and the flowering period is long; in the year of drought, the underground water and gas are insufficient and the flowering period is short. Since 1997, every year the flowers have bloomed very early, with a large number of flowers. At the same time, they withered rapidly, and their plates became smaller. In 2006, there were 14 flowers, which opened in early April (around April 7), contrary to the rule of flowers blooming in rainy season, which may be related to global warming.

"Guyu three dynasties enjoy peony", appreciate Luoyang, Heze peony, etc., the flowers of wealth bloom in the gentle and rich town, the prosperous land of smoke and willow, can only reflect people's yearning for beauty and happiness. Enjoying the peony of Chaohu Lake, the flowers of wealth bloom in the remote mountains and the barren rocks, which can better reflect that beauty and happiness come from the unyielding spiritual pursuit in hardships. The exotic flowers of the world come out of the boudoir and attract a lot of tourists. Taking advantage of the situation, the Juchao District Party committee and the district government have held a peony viewing festival in the rainy season since 1997, with flowers as the media, meetings as the city, tourism as the stage, and economic singing, creating an open atmosphere for Juchao to welcome guests and friends from all over the world. In April 2007, the first China Chaohu Tourism Festival was held, replacing the previous peony viewing Festival and becoming a bigger, broader and more influential Tourism Festival.
