Juxian Valley

Juxian Valley, formerly known as darangou, is located at the West foot of belt mountain (Yudai mountain) in the northeast of Fengrun county. It is said that the belt mountain is carried by Erlang God from the East China Sea. The mountain is covered with auspicious clouds all the year round. It seems to be surrounded by a royal belt, so it is also called "Royal belt mountain". One day, when the queen mother was visiting the lower world, she slipped the gold hairpin here and cut a big ditch in the belt mountain. The gap between the mountain was long and steep, and the cliffs on both sides were steep. There are monsters, snakes, foxes and wolves in the ditch. Local people dare not enter the ditch alone. In order to protect one side's safety, the Jade Emperor arranged the heavenly generals to guard the ditch, and many immortals also practiced here. From then on, the scenery in the ditch was beautiful, and the people went in and out safely. Juxian Valley has many sceneries all year round: in spring, the mountains are full of flowers and plants; in midsummer, the wind is clear and the birds sing more quietly; in mid autumn, the forests are full of colors; in winter, the pines are covered with snow and the stone paths are covered with frost. In the valley, there are vivid image stones such as the stone statue of protecting the mountain god, the constant burning incense, the garnet and the dianxiantai, the holy spring of longan in the South and the north, the Yuhuang temple in the Tang Dynasty, and the climbing cave and mother cave in the Anti Japanese war. Each scene will tell you a beautiful story.

The origin of the name

Juxian Valley, a magic name. There are fox cave, Huangxian cave, climbing cave, dripping stone and so on. There are many fascinating stories hidden in Juxian valley. It is said that in the late autumn of a long time ago, a woodcutter came here with dry grain to collect firewood. In the afternoon, he was sitting on a stone, biting dry food, and heard the sound of "brushing" not far away. When he followed the path of fame, he saw long snakes meandering to a small puddle, where they took a sip of water, ate the grass at the edge of the puddle and left. After a while, the woodcutter felt thirsty and went to the pit like a snake to drink water and bite the grass. For a moment, he felt unwell, so he quickly picked up the firewood and went home with it. Home, all soft, bedridden, do not eat or drink, weak breath. The family members were very anxious and thought that he was ill. They went everywhere to seek medicine, but it didn't help. After such a winter, in the spring of the next year, he recovered miraculously and was able to gather firewood again. It is said that he drank "hibernating" water and ate "returning home" grass. Of course, this is not the case, but the legend gives Juxian valley a mysterious veil.

Famous landscape

The most famous one in Juxian Valley is "mother's cave", which is named after the top of the cave is like a teat dripping. The hole was also sprinkled with the blood of Anti Japanese warriors. One day in 1942, twelve local revolutionary cadres went to the mother's cave in daxiangou for a meeting. Because of the traitors' information, the Japanese smoked them to death in the cave with poisonous gas. Since then, this natural cave has recorded another heinous crime of the Japanese invaders, and mother's cave has been engraved in people's hearts. The main purpose of our trip is to explore mother's cave in Juxian valley. We followed the rugged stone road at the bottom of the valley and came to the mother's cave in the middle of daxiangou. This cave is more than 10 meters high from the bottom of the valley and is located on a cliff 100 feet high. It's covered by trees on all sides, so it's hard to find up and down. We climbed the steep iron ladder to the entrance of the cave, lit the candle, and moved in step by step. The cave was more than 10 meters deep, winding downward, and only one person could pass through the narrow part. "If you want to get into the mother's hole, you have to rub your butt," he said. The bottom of the cave is spacious, about ten square meters. It's gloomy and chilly here, as if I can still smell the blood of that year. If you come here alone, it's a bit creepy. Now, this tortuous secluded cave has finally got rid of the dark history and become a must for visitors to Juxian valley.

Climbing cave, under the rock root on the north side of 50 meters across a line of sky, is about 0.5 meters high and 2 meters wide. Visitors can enter the cave only after drilling and climbing, so it is called "climbing cave". After climbing into the cave entrance for 2 meters, the cave is suddenly 2-3 meters high, 15 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep, inclined downward. The stone wall in the cave is smooth and dry, the top stone is flat and stretched, and the fine soil at the bottom is solid. On the east side of the inner end of the cave, there is a stone crack about 30 meters long and 0.7 meters wide, which leads directly to the cliff top. There is also a side cave in the north and south of the cave. On the southern side of the cliff not far from climbing cave, there is also a stone cave. Because there is a pair of stalactites in the cave, and the top of the cave drips down, it is called mother cave.

The Jade Emperor Temple is located on the hillside, solemn and solemn, with yellow glazed tiles shining in the sun. It is said that in 621 ad, Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, once built a jade emperor temple here. Every festival, there is an endless stream of villagers praying for blessings. It's often the chime, the cigarette, and the whole valley is shrouded in mystery. Later, this ancient temple of more than one thousand years disappeared in the "Cultural Revolution". This jade emperor temple was built at the end of last century, and expanded its original scale. It appeared in front of visitors with a new attitude. In particular, a pair of longan holy springs in front of the temple attract tourists to linger. It is said that Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, was very thirsty when he traveled here during his expedition to the East. Suddenly he found that two springs were not rich in rice, so he drank the water from the South Spring. The water was as sweet as honey, and he felt refreshed. Later, the spring in the North was as bitter as Coptis chinensis. Up to now, the two springs are rich and bitter, and the four seasons are inexhaustible. Later generations have a poem: two clear springs in front of the Jade Emperor Temple, one bitter and the other sweet. It has been thousands of years since imperial drinking.

At the bottom of Juxian Valley, there are steep stone walls cut like swords on both sides. The narrow cave Valley in the middle is like a deep sword, which suddenly draws out the ditch mark. Looking up and down, you can't help feeling trapped in a desperate situation. In the northeast corner of the mountain, a snail like peak called camel's butt, has a natural stone orange ring from the bottom to the top, which is known as the "ladder of heaven". Climb up the TIANTI to the top of camel's butt peak. The towering main peak of belt mountain in the East and the continuous peaks in the south, West and North are all in front of you. The joy and comfort of leaping out of the fence is intoxicating and intoxicating. There are also many beautiful landscapes and cultural landscapes in other valleys in the imperial belt fairyland. The serpentine Valley is about 1000 meters long and 300 meters wide. There are many small ditches on both sides. From a distance, it looks like a long snake winding straight to the valley in the middle. It is very vivid, and is called "the intersection of a hundred snakes". Xiaodanggou is about 2500 meters long and 5-15 meters wide, with steep mountains on both sides. There is a well in the east half of the valley. In the past, Taoist on the belt mountain drank the water from this well. There are dozens of Taoist tombs at the end of the valley. The valley is about 350 meters long and the valley mouth is about 100 meters wide. The mountains on both sides are magnificent. The narrower the valley is, the more dangerous the mountain is. It is said that Li Shimin, the king of the Tang Dynasty, made a pilgrimage to the Yuhuang temple in the fairyland of Yudai. He disturbed a farm cow who was herding. He ran into the valley and got stuck in a crack in the stone. The valley was named "suffocating niuyu Valley".
