Cuiluo mountain

Cuiluo mountain

Formerly known as niuzhu mountain. It is 7 kilometers southwest of Maanshan City in Anhui Province. Facing the Yangtze River and niuzhu River, the northeast is connected with Hebao mountain, Baoji mountain, Xishan Mountain and Ma'anshan. It is 131 meters above sea level and 5 kilometers around. The pines on the mountain are green and dripping. The shape of the mountain looks like a snail, so it is called cuiluo mountain. Li Bai has a poem to describe: "the cliff faces the huge river, and even the peaks face each other. The random rocks flow in the Pujiang River, and the echo waves form their own waves. But it's amazing and unpredictable. Listen to the night cry of apes and worry about getting drunk on the river. " Zhou Chen, the Minister of the Ministry of industry of the Ming Dynasty, visited Jiangnan and loved the landscape. He ordered people to plant trees and live in seclusion.

Name source

In ancient times, there were no mountains, only a small fishing village. In the village lived a child named Tang ya, who lived with his blind grandmother. Tang Ya heard that eating snails can cure his eyes, so he carried a fish basket to the river to touch snails every day. One day, he met a magical snail, who would help him fulfill all kinds of wishes and cure his grandmother's eyes.

After hearing this, my uncle told the county master that the county master immediately sent two officers to see it. Two officers robbed the snail and came to the ferry. They were just about to board the boat. They felt that the snail suddenly expanded, broke its pocket, fell to the ground, rolled and expanded. In the blink of an eye, it was hundreds of times larger than before. The two officers finally agreed that one should stay, the other should go back to report and call more people. When the county master got the news, he decided to take 100 people and go there in person. When the county master came ashore, the snail rose dozens of times. The county master sent people to the neighboring counties to ask for help, and said that the future benefits would be shared equally between the two counties. The snail rolled a few times and made dozens of turns. The county master's heart was horizontal, and he asked someone to find some big hammers to break the shell of the snail. Let's see what's inside. Boom! The sparks splashed and the snails didn't move, which made the officer's mouth crack.

In less than half a day, it grew into a hill. Tang Ya was both surprised and happy. He thought to himself, "snail, turn over and crush these villains!" Just think of this, just listen to "boom" a loud noise, the big snail really turned over, the master, errand, and uncle all pressure under the stomach. The snail didn't move any more. It turned into a snail mountain.

Years generation, wind and rain, the snail shell on the accumulation of a thick layer of soil, grow countless exotic flowers and plants, pines and cypresses. From a distance, it is green, so people call this mountain "cuiluo mountain".

Scenery

The formation of cuiluoshan can be traced back to the Mesozoic Triassic period 225 million years ago. At that time, the vast area of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River was still a vast ocean. With the evolution of the earth, the earth's crust changes dramatically due to the internal and external gravity. Most of the places are uplifted, and the sea water gradually retreats, exposing large areas of land. The Yangtze paraplatform was compressed by the surrounding plates and formed a local fault zone

Cuiluo mountain is famous for its beauty, but there are many strange dangers. In the west of the mountain, there is "xidawa", where the rocks are exposed, the cliffs are steep, the valleys are deep, and the vegetation is verdant. In spring, pear blossom is better than snow; in autumn, red leaves are like fire. A stone and a grass are all pleasing to the eye. "Snail tail" has a huge wall near the river, which is cut like a knife and axe. The texture of the wall is undulating, like a natural landscape picture; several huge stones at the cliff end stretch out of the cliff, like the roaring of beasts. The river is running fast, and the waves beat the cloud cliff. It is magnificent and can be called dangerous. The tourists lean on the green snail, look at the Yangtze River, listen to the resonance between Lin Tao and the river waves, and watch the sand gulls and white sails chasing each other. It's like being in a fairyland.
