Castanopsis mountain in Cixi

At the head of Shanglin in Cixi, Hunan Province, there is a strange mountain with high altitude. The mountain is covered with trees and the waterfall roars in the stream. That is the Castanopsis mountain (also known as Xianju mountain). There is a poem as evidence: "clear spring around the stream, rugged rocks strange; legend multi God demon, Ming Mie shine cold sand.". However, there is no way to know the origin of the name of Castanopsis fargesii. It is only a small scale and a half claw to understand it literally. The name of Castanopsis fargesii is very particular. There is a poem by the predecessors, which says that "embroidery should go to the spring garden, and attract the yellow warbler into the willow". There is a valley between the two peaks, and the stream at the bottom of the valley is turbulent. This is the Castanopsis river. Follow the Tanaka River between the two peaks. Because it is located at the mouth of the valley, the water is very urgent. You can hear the sound of running water from a long distance. On the left side of dashanlongkou, there used to be a temple, called Longqing temple. It was built in the reign of Liang Datong, but now it has collapsed. On the right side of the hill, there is a big round stone standing abruptly, which is called chessboard stone. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, the two stars of the South and the Big Dipper once played chess here. While playing chess, they condescend to observe the social customs, so as to make different retributions for good and evil. On both sides of the stream, there are lush pines and fir trees. When spring comes, it is full of flowers, fragrance, butterflies and Orioles. Further down there is a pan Tuo stone. It is said that it was the place where the gods were fishing in Shanglin lake, so it is also called fishing stone. It is said that the eight immortals roamed here to have a rest. A Monopterus albus escaped in pain, and then turned into a mountain of Huang Jue with head raised and tail tilted across the lake. However, the whirlpool in the water was quite urgent. Li Yu, Tieguai, swung his shoulder pole to pick up two huge stones from the mountain to fill the hole. He was thirsty and went to drink water from the river, Rolling down the slope, tie guaili's foot was crushed, no longer have the strength to carry the stone, to this day, the two boulders are still standing in the stream. Touching these two huge stones, it seems that you can still feel the shaking of the stones. Maybe the legendary magic is here!
