It spans three towns of Sanbei, Longshan and Fanshi, with an altitude of 422 meters. The reason why it is named Dapeng is that you can sail from here to Penglai fairyland. According to the records of Cixi County in Song Baoqing's Siming annals, "Dapeng mountain, also known as Dapeng mountain, is 35 Li northeast of the county. The first emperor of Qin traveled to the East and wanted to enter the fairyland of Penglai from then on, so it was named And has been used to this day.

legend

Xu Fu's eastward journey was first seen in historical records. According to the records of the emperor of Qin in historical records, Xu Shi, a member of the Qi Dynasty, wrote that there are three God mountains in the sea, which are called Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou. Please fast and ask for it with children and men. So he sent thousands of Xushi Fatong men and women to the sea to seek immortals.... "

In 210 B.C. (the 37th year of the first emperor), the first emperor of Qin made his fifth tour to the East He went to Kuaiji, sacrificed to Dayu, and looked at Nanhai. So Xu Fu, the alchemist, went to Penglai Fairy Island to seek the elixir of immortality. "The alchemist Xu Shi and others went to the sea to ask for the divine medicine. They were not willing to spend much money when they were a few years old. They were afraid to punish them. They said deceitfully," Penglai medicine is available, but it is often suffered by the big mackerel. Therefore, they can't come here. Please be good at shooting everything. If you see it, you can shoot it with a crossbow. " "The emperor of Qin said that he sent 3000 men and women to work with grain. Xu Fu was able to keep the king from coming. " Lu Yun, a famous litterateur in the Western Jin Dynasty, made a supplement to this in his reply to Che mao'an: Qin Shihuang "looked at the sea from the East for more than 30 days". It can be seen that the first emperor of Qin not only went to Kuaiji, but also to Jue county. Fuxian County, formerly under the jurisdiction of Jurang, was newly established in the 27th year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty (220 BC). In ancient times, Dapeng mountain was just located at the junction of jurzhang and Zhen County. This matter is recorded in the local county annals, such as song Baoqing's Siming annals, Yuan Yanyou's Siming annals, Jiajing's Ningbo Prefecture annals, and Ming Yuqi's Cixi County annals.

Xu Fu's eastward voyage finally arrived in Japan, during which he once arrived in Korea and other places. He became the first navigator who sailed across the sea in historical records. He played a very important role in the development of local economy, culture and society, and also made him a great economic and cultural Messenger, which will be remembered by people in these places forever. Mr. yutianzi, the former Prime Minister of Japan, who is the descendant of Xu Fu, made a special trip to visit and wrote an inscription for Qin Du'an in memory.

The story of Xu Fu's eastward journey has been handed down from generation to generation in Dapeng mountain area. Professor Luo Qixiang, a Chinese expert on Xu Fu's research, published in February 1989 the famous argument that Dapeng mountain in Cixi City, Zhejiang Province was one of the places where Qin Shihuang sent Xu Fu to sail eastward to Japan in 210 BC. This new conclusion has aroused great interest of Xu Fu research circles in China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. With the deepening of the research, the view that Dapeng mountain is the successful sailing place of Xu Fu's eastward crossing has been recognized by more and more experts and scholars. Xufu Dongdu culture is a unique precious historical and cultural heritage of Dapeng mountain. It has left some historical relics related to Xufu Dongdu, such as cliff stone carving, Qindu temple, Xiaoxiu cave, Dapeng Pavilion, paomagang, yinmatan, yumafen, Qianren altar, Longmen square, fangshishi, Lingtai stone, fengfenggang, Wangfu stone, Xufu temple, Qiuxian Pavilion, etc It is "the only preserved historical site reflecting Xu Fu's eastward crossing" in China, which is very precious. Qindu'an site "is one of the only places where Xu Fu sailed in China today, which is of great significance in the study of Xu Fu's eastward voyage.". In recent years, with the spread of Folktales and the excavation of local chronicles, the influence of the place where Xu Fu sailed for the east crossing of Dapeng mountain has become more and more important, "Legend of Xu Fu's eastward crossing" has been listed in the second batch of intangible cultural heritage list of Zhejiang Province, and is applying for national intangible cultural heritage. Experts and scholars from China, Japan and South Korea are also taking Xu Fu culture as a link to carry out comprehensive exchange of Xu Fu's cultural research, strive to promote Xu Fu's eastward crossing legend to apply for world intangible cultural heritage, and make Xu Fu's eastward crossing cultural exchange increasingly international .

Relying on Xu Fu's innovative spirit and pioneering spirit, relying on the inheritance and expanding influence of Xu Fu's culture, Dapeng mountain carefully organizes the development of Xu Fu's eastward crossing culture, shows the unique characteristics and connotation of Dapeng mountain's eastward crossing culture, and improves the cultural taste and content. Today, experts and scholars from Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places come to Dapeng mountain every year for investigation.

Introduction to scenic spots

1、 Wuguishi

Tortoise stone is a naturally formed stone turtle. There are fossils of shells and conches on the tortoise, which proves that he was originally a "sea dweller" who can come here "as a guest" thanks to the gift of nature.

It is said that when the Jade Emperor got the Tao, he turned into two generals, the tortoise and the snake. The tortoise and the snake swam to Dapeng mountain, where they saw all kinds of strange flowers and plants, and the scenery was pleasant, so they stayed here. He is familiar with astronomy and meteorology, and often foretells villagers in advance to protect them from wind and rain. Before Xu Fu's eastward voyage, he was once about to go to sea when he was told that there would be a big storm. It is said that when the weather gets bad, the turtle will shed tears and give off a bad smell to remind people not to go to sea.

2、 Prayer Altar

Formerly known as the thousand people altar, it is said that in the past, the first emperor of Qin visited Kuaiji to the East, climbing mountains to seek immortals. At this point, Xu Fu was ordered to set up an altar for praying, where Xu Fu led 3000 young boys and girls to burn incense and pray for immortals in the northeast. It implied the meaning of praying for Xu Fu to cross the sea safely and reach Penglai Fairy Island. Because it can hold thousands of people to worship at the same time, it was named Qianren altar. Now a prayer altar has been rebuilt in the original thousand people altar style.

3、 Qiuxian Pavilion

Located beside the altar of prayer, the pavilion is where Xu Fudong looks at the sea and worships. It is said that Xu Fu led 3000 boys and girls to go into the sea to get the medicine of immortality. Every day when they were white in the East, they ordered the boys and girls to burn incense and sacrifice to the sea for the blessing of the gods. In memory of Xu Fu's eastward voyage, a pavilion for seeking immortals was built.

4、 Alchemy cave

Alchemy cave is a natural stone cave. It is said that it is the place where Zhang Xian, Xu Fu's teacher, practices alchemy. After Zhang Xian made pills here, he "refused to be the only man" and stepped to Penglai Fairy Island.

5、 Xiaoxiu cave

Tomorrow, according to Cixi County annals, "Xiaoxiu cave is located in Dapeng mountain, three or ten miles north of the county. Cen cave is gentle and graceful. Emperor Qinshihuang traveled to the east to sail to Penglai." This cave only allows one person to lie horizontally, and the depth of the cave is more than ten feet. In winter, especially on a snowy day, the cave is covered with snow, and there are wisps of heat coming out of the cave, which looks like an immortal cave. Therefore, some people call it "immortal cave".

6、 Wang Huotang

Wanghuotang was originally located on Hutou mountain in the northeast of Dapeng mountain. It is said that after Xu Fu went out to sea, some old and weak soldiers used huge stone walls to cover the pass, with a passage in the middle. Firewood can be piled in the pond, fire can be raised at night, and smoke can fill the air during the day, indicating the course of Xu Fu's return. The reconstruction of wanghuotang only takes its meaning.

7、 Qindu Temple

Qindu nunnery, originally named Dongdu nunnery, was built in the first year of Tang Tianbao (autumn 718). It was built by Xu Fu's descendants to commemorate Xu Fu's eastward crossing. After thousands of years, it was robbed by robbers in the 17th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty. It is said that Xu Fu once ordered people here to cut firewood and grass, build houses, level the land, dig wells, build roads leading to Haikou, and do exercises before crossing the sea. Luo Qixiang, a famous expert in Xu Fu studies in China, affirmed that it is "the only preserved historical site of Xu Fu's eastward crossing in China". Former Japanese Prime Minister yutianzi, who considers himself a descendant of Xu Fu, wrote three words "Qindu Temple" to commemorate him. This abandoned Qindu temple has become a historical witness of Xu Fu's successful eastward voyage.

8、 Ancient marine shell fossils

The great changes in nature have embedded the ocean shells hundreds of millions of years ago into the rock walls of today's mountains. The ocean of ancient times, the sailing place of Xu Fu's eastward voyage, and today's tourist attractions really make people appreciate that "all the things in ancient and modern times are being talked about with a smile."
