Houyu rock

Houyu rock, also known as dongtianyan and Yanshan, is located in the South Meihua waterway of Minjiang Estuary and the northernmost end of Changle City. It is like a pearl inlaid in the land of Wuhang.

Here, the trees are beautiful and the flowers are beautiful; the rocks on the mountain are strange and the shape of things is wonderful. More than 10 caves have been found in Houyu rock, such as Xianren cave, bat cave, Yongquan cave, etc.

In addition to natural landscape, Houyu rock also has cultural landscape. The most reverent is the Anti Japanese cemetery, which is located at the intersection of the three roads behind the Cuijing Pavilion. In the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded the coastal areas of Fujian Province. Houyu villagers were not afraid of violence and rose up to fight. A hundred people were slaughtered by Japanese pirates. Qi Jiguang sent his troops south to drive them away. Officers and soldiers buried the bodies of the martyrs nearby. After liberation, the Cultural Palace was built in Houyu village, where the bones of the volunteers were buried from the top of Damei mountain. Today's lush mountain is the site of the Qi's barracks. Standing on the wall, looking back is the cemetery. Looking forward, you need to look up. Future generations express their respect for the patriotic Qi's army.

There is a hundred year old Camellia planted in Guangxu period in front of daxiongbao hall, which is the treasure of Pingshan temple. The stem of camellia tree is as thick as a thigh and curved as a bow. It is more than Zhang high. The crown of camellia tree is covered on the screen stone. Every spring, thousands of colorful flowers bloom. From a distance, I think a red cloud is floating in front of the hall.

On top of the "drum rock", there are two big trees with different varieties growing in a crack. One is a banyan tree, and the other is a tree that no one can name. The fruits bear directly on the trunk and branches. The bark of the two trees is black and white, and it is suspected that they are lovers with different skin colors from Europe and Africa, who cuddle together and confide in each other. Mr. Shen Jinshou, a famous calligrapher, left the inscription "one rock, two trees, the same root and luxuriant" on the rock before he died.

Many caves

More than 10 caves have been found, such as Zhuangyuan cave, Xianren cave, bat cave, chongtian cave and Yongquan cave. Some of them are circuitous and full of scenery step by step; some of them are close to the hole and open the hole as far as possible; some of them are narrow and can only pass half of the body; some of them are wide like a hall and can spread banquet; some of them can't see the palm of yin and can't distinguish the East, West, North and South; some of them can see the reversion of heaven and earth by light and shadow. There are still many caves on the mountain that have not yet lifted the veil of mystery. "Bottomless cave" is under the "Heyan". Wet loess accumulates in front of the cave. The entrance is only the size of a table, but the inside of the cave is wide and deep. Someone once got in and climbed for a while. The light of the flashlight was slowly eaten by the shadow, but there was a buzzing noise underneath. I was afraid that something might happen, so I had to go back in vain. "Yanyin cave" is also a mysterious place. Some good people go in and want to see what's going on, but it's chilly. They quit halfway, and then they get seriously ill. It's so mysterious and terrible that no one dares to cross the thunder pool.

The central building of houyuyan is Pingshan temple, which was founded by Zheng Bing, a scholar in Duanming hall, a famous official of the Ministry of official affairs during the reign of emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty. The main hall, Tianwang hall, Guanyin Pavilion and yangfo hall are all built on the mountain. Each pavilion has its own way, dotted with green clumps. It is not only for people to rest, but also for enjoying the scenery. Ningyun bridge, Xianren bridge and Xiuan bridge are skillfully arranged in the ravines, which not only benefits the economy, but also increases the landscape. The inscriptions on cliffs such as "Millennium", "Jinping", "the sea is vast and the sky is high", "the mountains are rolling and the sea sounds", "one rock and two trees are luxuriant in the same root" and the couplets of celebrities on pavilions and buildings can be tasted to add elegance. There are anti Japanese tombs at the fork road behind Cuijing Pavilion.

historical significance

In the Ming Dynasty, when Japanese pirates invaded, Houyu villagers could not bear to be trampled by robbers and rose to fight. Hundreds of people were slaughtered by Japanese pirates. Qi Jiguang sent his troops to Minjiang River to drive away the Japanese pirates. The officers and soldiers buried the bodies of the martyrs nearby. Later, a Cultural Palace was built in Houyu village, where the bones of the volunteers were buried from the top of Damei mountain. The reason why the fan-shaped gate of the Pingshan temple on Houyu island was built with a city wall with battlements is to show the solemn and stirring history of hundreds of years. At the same time, the location of the mountain gate is lower than that of Jilong mountain by the river, because today's lush mountain is the ruins of the Qijia military camp. Standing on the wall, looking back is the cemetery. Looking forward, you need to look up to show respect for the patriotic army.

Standing on the mountain, you can have a panoramic view of the typical riverside scenery. Nearby, there are ten thousand mu of Haizhu, lush reeds and sheep; the harbor road is full of boats and fishing songs; the Langqi island is crisscrossed by paths, covered with gold and silver, green and green; the river sea intersection on the other bank is surrounded by mountains, dense with haze, towering buildings and Villas at the foot of the mountain, and creeping with traffic It can be said that it is a majestic and magnificent picture of mountains and rivers, and a heroic and beautiful song of "singing in the Min River".
