Development history

It is said that during the Xuanhe period of the Song Dynasty, there was a turtle in the East China Sea. When he heard that the heroes in Liangshan were killing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he wanted to see what happened. "Ah, I've been practicing in Donghai for many years, and I've never seen such a beautiful scene!" The tortoise is intoxicated by the magnificent landscape of the eight hundred Li water park.

When the tortoise came to him, it turned out that the two armies were fighting each other. On one side of the flag, there was a "song" character, and a black head leader was standing on the ship waving the flag to command. This was Song Jiang, who was called "timely rain"; on the other side, there was a "high" character, and under the flag, there was a monkey faced marshal in court uniform, This must be the common people's Curse of Taiwei gaoqiu. Why don't I help Song Jiang. When the tortoise wanted to come here, he swam under Gao Qiu's ship and used his magic skills to overturn the ship. When the officers and soldiers saw that the ship had overturned, they were in a mess. Song Jiang and his heroes took advantage of the situation to chase and kill the ship, and won a complete victory.

Unexpectedly, the tortoise's just act violated the rules and regulations of the divine world, and was punished for carrying the day to climb the mountain. At dusk, people look from Shandong and see a stone turtle carrying a red sun at the northern foot of the mountain. This is the origin of Guishan.

geographical environment

Guishan scenic spot is located in Mengzhuang Town, 16 kilometers northeast of Zaozhuang City. It is close to Zhoucun reservoir, the only medium-sized reservoir in the area. It is adjacent to Baodugu, a National Forest Park in the north. It is surrounded by mountains in the West and south, including Guishan, Sheshan and Huangshan. The drainage area is about 6000 mu.

Geological characteristics

Guishan is located in the southeast of Taiyi mountains. Its strata are Cambrian shale with limestone, thick rock and super thick limestone. The basement is composed of geosynclinal sedimentary formations such as Archean argillaceous sand deposits and volcanic eruptions, which were affected by the Taishan movement and suffered regional metamorphism, forming metamorphic rocks with extensional structure between North and northwest. During the past two billion years, several sets of sedimentary structures, such as coastal facies and continental facies, were formed after the repeated rise and fall of the crust. From about 280 million years ago to now, Guishan area has been a land and suffered from weathering and denudation. The Yanshan movement from 130 million years ago to 60 million years ago broke and disintegrated the Shandong ancient land, and a series of faults and fissures appeared in the park, among which the "Gu" type mountains, karst caves, karst springs and other landforms in southern Shandong were the most obvious. Due to many geological structures and the evolution of paleogeographic environment, the unique geological landforms of Qifeng, Yishi, karst cave and spring have been formed in Guishan area.

Eagle stone: located in the southeast of Guishan.

Jiulong stone: at the back of the ancient temple, there are lifelike Jiulong stone, accompanied by lifelike Fengwei stone, which means that the dragon and the Phoenix are auspicious. It is said that in ancient times, there was a sea eye at the foot of Guishan mountain, which sprayed water continuously all day, and eventually became a vast ocean, and the people around them were in dire straits. When the Jade Emperor learned of this, he sent the Dragon King to see Haiyan. So the Dragon King asked his nine sons to stop Haiyan. After all the hardships, Jiulong failed to stop Haiyan. The Dragon King was furious and wanted to punish Jiulong severely. At this time, the turtle king of Guishan appeared and asked the Nine ladies to cut off their tails with the lotus in their left hand and the dragon sword in their right hand. In order to appreciate the dedication of the king, Jiulong and his nine wives volunteered to accompany him in Guishan mountain. They turned into Jiulong stone and Fengwei stone and accompanied him day and night.

Guishan stronghold: built in the Tang Dynasty, it was built by Luo Cheng, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. After reconstruction and expansion, its scale has been constantly expanding. It once became a place for the king of Guishan to practice troops and martial arts. In order to escape the war, the people at the foot of the mountain took refuge in Guishan and gradually formed villages. It is said that there were more than 100 families living on the mountain at that time, eating and drinking on the mountain, basically living an isolated life. Stone mill, stone mill, water reservoir and candlestick have gone through many vicissitudes, but they still exist today.

Guanyin Hall: the tablet records nine years of drought in southern Shandong, and one year of continuous rain, either drought or flooding, which makes the local people miserable. Guanyin makes the turtles spit water when they are in drought and absorb water when they are in flood. It moistens this ancient land and regulates the water storage capacity of Zhoucun. It is not easy to slack off for a moment and never leaves the reservoir. The local people were very grateful, so they built Guanyin hall on the top of Guishan mountain to send incense to visit. Every year, Guanyin came to Guishan mountain on February 19, so there was an endless stream of people climbing Guishan mountain to worship Guanyin. The folk custom was "March 3 canglangyuan, February 19 climbing Guishan Mountain".

Guzhaimen: it is located at the south end of the top of Guishan mountain, echoing with Sheshan mountain. In the middle is Zoumaling, a place for training soldiers and horses in ancient times. The gate is divided into big gate and small gate. The gate faces southwest and is built with huge stones. It is extremely dangerous and is the only way for the green forest army to transport arms and grain. The gate faces south and is cut on the hard stone wall. It only allows one or two people to pass through. It is a special passage for meeting important guests such as leaders of various mountains.

A thousand years ago: the ancient tomb is located on the south slope of Guixi mountain. According to historical records, during the reign of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Wang Dangao, a military examination officer in Tengxian County, committed a serious case of human life for revenge on his father, so he fled to Guishan with his mother. He saw that Guishan mountain was steep with dense vegetation and pleasant climate, so he became a scholar. He had excellent martial arts skills and profound moral conduct, and received more than 100 disciples. The mummy is rare in East China. The reason for the formation of mummy has always been a mystery of geological and biological experts.
