Shunhuangyan

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and Shunyan has many beautiful sceneries. Shunhuangyan is said to be Emperor Shun's underground farewell palace, known as the mysterious place. It is located in an independent Dashi mountain in the Tiandong cave of eight banners at the mouth of damiaokou, the eastern foot of Emperor Shun in Dong'an County. It is said that Emperor Shun visited Dong'an in his later years. When he saw that the place had changed into a mountain with overlapping peaks, green and straight, clear water and picturesque countryside, he was attracted to the mountain for inspection and hunting, and settled down on the highest peak. Therefore, the mountain was named Shunhuang Mountain. According to the book of the five emperors in historical records, "there are ten peaks in the south of the Yangtze River, but shun peak is high.". According to Yi Tong Zhi of Hunan Province and Yi Yi Zhi of Yongzhou Prefecture, there are Shun Feng, Yu Bi Yuan and Yu Shi in Yong Zhi Dong'an. Dong'an is close to Jiuyi, which was also passed by by Shun's hunting in the south. When Shun lived in Shunhuang Mountain, he often went down the mountain to inspect people's feelings. For convenience, he built this underground farewell palace.

geographic information

According to geologists, the formation of the rock has a history of more than 100 million years. The total length of the cave is more than 700 meters, about 12000 square meters. There are four palaces and eighteen halls in the cave. There are caves in the cave, and there are other caves. The stalactites in the cave are as lifelike as the seven star rock and reed flute rock in Guilin. Located in the eastern foot of Emperor Shun, the cave is 1800 meters deep, with 4 palaces and 18 halls. The scenery inside the cave is magnificent, with colorful stone pillars, stalagmites and stone curtains. It can be said that "the palace has scenery, the palace is beautiful, and the cave is full of feelings and fragrance", which can be called "fairyland on earth". "Fragrance" can be called "fairyland on earth". The ancient caves always give people a very mysterious and deep feeling. So I don't like to visit the cave, even in the Seven Star Rock in Guilin. However, I can't help but travel to shunhuangyan, and I can't help talking about the beautiful myths and legends about shunhuangyan.

The discovery of shunhuangyan in Dongan County of Yongzhou City is a miracle. From a distance, it is just a hill rising from the ground. The small hill covers an area of not wide, but it is very towering, very tall, as if it is a giant lying on the ground. On the mountain, the cliffs are rugged. When you look up at the top of the mountain, you will have a lot of trouble. You only feel the green in your eyes. Around, you can see the broad fields at a glance. More than ten years ago, people here never knew that there was a huge cave under the mountain. Until that day, a farmer who went up to the mountain to cut firewood saw a brown fat hare on the mountain road. He followed the hare all the way into a small cave in the mountain forest. The deeper the road, the wider the hole, and the darker the light. However, the desire of the farmers to chase the hare is still, so they simply go home and get a flashlight to re-enter the cave. Under the flickering light shadow, there are many strange rocks in the cave, with thousands of postures, dark and dark. Since then, there has been another underground "art" Hall in the world.

Historical legend

In the local area, the story of Emperor Shun's southern tour is widely spread. It is said that when Emperor Shun visited Yongzhou in the south, he went to the mountains to collect yams and taste their bitterness and sweetness; he went to the river to see the torrents and feel their surging; he went to the fields to encourage farmers to harvest crops and cultivate them himself They often spend night after night in the mountains. In the past few days, Emperor Shun was infected with the poisonous gas of the mountain forest and unfortunately fell ill. He was in the local people's home to heal, and often dragged sick body around to inquire about the people's suffering. Emperor Shun was really a wise monarch. However, he finally fell ill and died in the mountains of Yongzhou. Some people say that he died at the foot of Jiuyi mountain in Ningyuan. Others say that he died in Shunhuang Mountain in the south of Dong'an County. Others say that he died in a cave in shunhuangyan. Because Emperor Shun has his dragon bed in the cave, there are still traces to be found.

Landscape introduction

The legend is beautiful and the reality is mysterious. Therefore, we can put on the wings of imagination, and let our thoughts drift with the treacherous rocks. Down the steps, the road is steep and narrow. Turn up and down, go through the big hole into the small hole, and then turn from the small hole into the deeper big hole. There is a stone pillar as high as two Zhang high, which reaches to the top of the rock, like the golden cudgel of the God of the sea of the monkey king; there is a big stalagmite as high as Zhang Xu, on which there are dense small stalagmites, just like a beautiful bride wearing a crown of Xiayu Phoenix decorated with jewelry; a small rock protrudes on many stones, uneven, a little bit like a little monkey, its name is "monkey guard" Others are like ice branches, bead curtains, shells or bird wings

The belly of the cave is the "Hall of Emperor Shun", which is also the widest place in the cave. Here is a grotesque hole, a phantom hole. In the dim light, the "statues" of Emperor Shun's southern patrolling emperors and ministers stand on one side of the cave, one by one, tall and heroic; the "Candlestick" worshipped by the people is set high in the cave, when the lights flash, we can almost see the smoke in the candlestick; under a huge inclined rock, a surprisingly flat rock is standing there At present, it is the legendary dragon bed. The bed is wide and large enough to accommodate several people to roll on it. It is said that Emperor Shun ascended to heaven here. There are stone benches and pillars beside them, but people can't get close to them. We can only wait and see from a distance and think about the mighty Emperor Shun. In addition, there are stories of Jin Peng spreading his wings, fairy thinking of fan, pig Bajie playing with snail. It's really step by step, chapter by chapter and picture by picture. It's not surprising that there are many kinds of imagination.

The last hole is very open. There are no stone pillars, stone axes, stone seats, stone flowers, but only a vast expanse. It's like the sky hanging overhead, with occasional clouds gliding through the air. A few drops of water quietly ring the silence of the cave, stir up a few spray, splash. Let people have infinite Association.

Even if there is no real Emperor Shun coming here, so what? We have long been impressed by the marvelous craftsmanship of nature. Cave, has always been such a magical grotesque, confusing.
