Zhuangyuan rock

Zhuangyuanyan scenic spot is located in Changxing village, the northern suburb of Taining County, 11.7 kilometers away from the city, and is closely related to shangqingxi. According to the county annals, during the Qingyuan period of the Southern Song Dynasty, young Zou Yinglong studied here (the number one scholar in the second year of Qingyuan, when he was 25 years old), and later generations called his reading place zhuangyuanyan. Half a kilometer away from zhuangyuanyan, there is Pipa rock, which is the place where Xing Dexing, a Taoist immortal, practiced in Ming Dynasty. In this area, the landscape, Danya hanging rock, luxuriant forests, strange trees, secluded Gorges, strange caves, waterfalls and flowing springs, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and there are many rare birds and animals. From the perspective of human landscape, it is imbued with profound Confucian culture and Taoist culture. As Zou Yinglong's reading place, zhuangyuanyan's mountains and rivers are deeply imprinted with Confucian culture, and many legends have emerged. Later generations regard it as a holy land for educating their children to study hard. In August 1999, zhuangyuanyan area was developed into a tourist attraction, which is divided into zhuangyuangu, hulutian, Wuzhishan, xiangpoyan, niaowingjian and seven districts, with 85 main scenery. Inside the gate of zhuangyuanyan, on both sides of the valley are nearly 100 meters of cliffs, more than 700 meters long, of which the front section is 300 meters straight and straight, the Danya is towering, and the weather is solemn and solemn. On both sides of the trail, there are many flowers and trees, with luxuriant branches and leaves; the mountain stream flows from left to right, and after more than 400 meters, the valley turns with the mountain, and the dangerous peak is sandwiched, so the situation is even more dangerous. At the end of Zhuangyuan Valley is a triangle well, slightly open. Zhuangyuanyan scenic spot is about 5 kilometers long, which is divided into five tourist areas. All the tourist paths are paved with stone steps. There are more than 80 scenic spots, such as Qianlong gorge, huangu ridge, Motian ridge, Wuhu mountain, empty mountain Liuxiang, zhuangyuanyan, shaijing cliff, Jinxiu Valley, etc. it is a place to explore the ancient. The whole scenic spot is hidden in the primitive dense forest, with tall Castanopsis sclerophylla, vigorous ancient pine, bleak green oak, variegated trees, luxuriant branches and leaves, intertwined vines, mountain streams flowing together into streams, mountain springs flowing down into waterfalls, fresh and elegant environment. The strange red stone group also creates the ever-changing Danxia spectacle, narrow and narrow sky, the great red cliff, and exquisite scenery The ingenious small caves, the spacious and bright big caves, the mountains stretching for several miles, and the cliffs not adjacent to each other are all gathered together in one place, which is amazing. During the tour, you can not only walk through the valley bottom, feel the leisurely of the empty mountain and spring stone, but also climb the peak to the top, experience the small mountains and the magnificent scenery.

Zhuangyuan rock

Zhuangyuanyan is located in the northern suburb of Taining City, 12 kilometers away from Taining County. After drifting on Qingxi River, you can get to zhuangyuanyan scenic spot from the dock. The scenic spot is a "natural oxygen bar" with lush trees and elegant environment. It is a primitive secondary forest with a forest coverage rate of more than 95%. Perhaps it is because this Danxia holy land is full of aura that some tropical rain forest plants grow here.

brief introduction

Up the stairs, you can see Danya hanging rock, luxuriant forest and strange trees, showing a typical Danxia landscape. Along the way, the mountain is steep, but there are dangerous peaks, gorges, cliffs and natural caves everywhere. Although the scenery is extremely beautiful, I don't want to watch it. I just gasp and keep climbing step by step. When I come down from the top of the mountain and look back, I find that I have walked a very dangerous road. There is Zou Yinglong's reading place on the mountain, which is a long arc-shaped cave with red cliff. It is said that in order to avoid the noise of the world, Zou Yinglong chiseled a thousand level stone steps in his youth and devoted himself to reading here. Today, the rock wall is also engraved with the powerful characters of "zhuangyuanyan" and a bust of Zou Yinglong. Unfortunately, with the opening of tourism, the head portrait is too rough.

legend

Zhuangyuan rock

Zou Yinglong is not a very famous figure in history. He was born in a scholarly family. He was influenced by Confucian culture since childhood, and thus developed his personality of following the rules, being upright and upright, and being mature and prudent. Zou Yinglong is intelligent and diligent. But his academic progress benefited from the high development of "Zhu Zi's Neo Confucianism" in Northern Fujian. In the second year of Qingyuan (1196 AD), Zou Yinglong, who was 25 years old at that time, was appointed as the number one scholar by Emperor ningzong with the title of "understanding Yin but not being intimate". Zou Yinglong began his official career after he won the number one place in the world. He served as the chief executive of Ganzhou in Jiangxi, Quanzhou in Fujian, and Guangxi. He was also promoted to the Ministry of industry, the Ministry of household, the Ministry of rites and other departments of the imperial court. Finally, he became the grand Bachelor of Duanming palace and served as a counsellor of the Privy Council. Although Zou Yinglong has never done anything earth shaking. However, as an official, he always followed the rules, was honest, loyal to the king, loved the people like a son, did not yield to power and traitor, and had a clear distinction between right and wrong. He concentrated the lofty, indifferent and self-esteem of the ancient Chinese intellectuals, and won the praise of the people. He was honored as the "king of Guangyou". Zougong temple was built in many places along the southeast coast and Southeast Asia. It seems that the Chinese people are very generous. As long as they don't bully the people and make some achievements, they will praise their virtues. Zou Yinglong married three wives and gave birth to 13 sons. According to Zou's genealogy, his descendants are more than one million, spread all over Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macao and Southeast Asia. Zou Taofen, a famous scholar, is also a descendant of Zou Yinglong. On August 26, 2007, more than 700 descendants of the Zou family from more than 20 delegations from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Beijing gathered in Taining to commemorate the 835th anniversary of Zou Yinglong's birth. Because of Zou Yinglong's study here, zhuangyuanyan was able to bear the imprint of Confucian culture and gain the reputation of "Danxia holy land of outstanding people". It seems reasonable that today's number one in the college entrance examination is favored by countless people, which is also the imprint of Confucian culture. Yes, parents' painstaking persuasion for their children, teachers' sincere education for their students, and students' painstaking study. Although all this happened in the 21st century, we can see the history and tradition of a nation. Unfortunately, in the face of this tradition, education seems so weak, even suspected of helping the tyrant. This is the tragedy of education, but it should not be the necessity of education. We need to let children enjoy the beauty of Danxia landform, but we don't need children to remember "champion"!

scenic spot

Zhuangyuanyan Atlas

Five tigers on the mountain: the five toes of Wuzhi Mountain are like five tigers jumping to the top of the champion at the same time.

Zhuangyuan Valley: on both sides of the valley are nearly 100 meters of cliffs, more than 700 meters long. The front part of the valley is straight and straight, with luxuriant flowers and trees on both sides of the footpath; the back part of the valley turns with the mountain, with dangerous peaks and roads, and the situation is dangerous. At the end of Zhuangyuan Valley is a triangle well, slightly open.

Straight stone paving: the stones of this road are straight stones, and the roadside in the center of the road is paved with straight stones, which is unique.

Yuewangtai: the sixth remaining vein of the number one scholar's top stretches out, and finally forms a precipitous hilltop, where the king of Yue shoots the sky.

Top: Wuzhi peak, 549 meters above sea level, is the highest peak of the chishi group within tens of miles. It is said that Zou Yinglong once studied in a cave tens of meters below the top of the mountain.

Doumi stage: the ancient road of tongzhuangyuanyan is doumi stage, which rises from the north slope of sanjiaojing, twists and turns, and connects intermittently. It is said that it was chiseled by Zou Yinglong in that year. Later generations call it doumi stage, which means that there are as many stones as doumi grains.

Tiangu: the last ten or so stone steps of Xianglu Tianjie. If you step hard, you will make a distinctive clear sound. It's like the hollow inside the mountain, as if the whole mountain is a giant drum.

Three gods protect the rock: on the right side of the entrance of Zhuangyuan rock, the rock wall is sunken, like three figures. It is said that when Zou Yinglong was studying here, the land gods of Changxing, Chonghua and Xi came to guard him, so as not to be disturbed by mountain ghosts.

Zhuangyuanyan: Zou Yinglong's reading place is located on the cliff tens of meters below the top of zhuangyuanyan. To the north of the cave, it is more than 60 meters long and the deepest is 8 meters. The ground is flat and the top is like a bell. There are three characters "zhuangyuanyan" carved on the cliff in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.

Zhuangyuan cap: there are three round holes in the top of Zhuangyuan rock, which is called Zhuangyuan cap.

Doumi stone mortar: under zhuangyuanyan cave, there is a cone-shaped stone mortar. It is said that Zou Yinglong himself chiseled it for Chung Gu.

Cangshan brush: opposite zhuangyuanyan, there are three peaks protruding far away. The top of the peaks stands out and the mountains are connected. It is shaped like a brush holder and is called Bijia mountain.

Ancient plank road: once a road connecting zhuangyuanyan and shaijing cliff, wooden piles were driven obliquely on the cliff, and then logs were laid horizontally at the root of the pile, so that people could settle on the cliff. There is a deep gully under the plank road, which only allows one person to pass slowly on the wall. People who are afraid of heights are forbidden. The new trail bypasses the dangerous ancient plank road and passes through Zizhi rock.

Zizhiyan: tens of meters below zhuangyuanyan, the wall is purplish red, full of large and small round, oval and various streamlined caves, the largest one is shaped like Ganoderma lucidum.

Shai Jing Cliff: it goes up a small slope from Zizhi rock, crosses the ridge and comes to a platform, facing the abyss in front and behind, which is the Sutra viewing platform; the big red cliff in front of it is Shai Jing cliff. The lichen on the surface of shaijing cliff is brown and red, like a huge screen unfolded on one side. It is one of the most magnificent red cliff in Taining red rock group. There are several red weathered caves in the middle of the cliff, with kites nesting inside.

Vines: the stone cliff on the right side of the trail is covered with vines, which grow like murals.

At the exit, a peak on the south side of the highway and two peaks on the north side of the highway stand in the shape of "pin", towering and spectacular.
