Shenggong stone

Shenggong stone

Shenggong stone is a huge black reef standing in the sea of Boao harbor gate, several meters above the sea. It is said that this huge stone was accidentally left at the mouth of Wanquan River by Nuwa when she was refining the stone to mend the sky. For thousands of years, it has been beaten by the wind and waves. The holy stone holds its head high and stands still, and has a great and sacred spirit.

survey

Shenggong stone is a famous taotou wonder in ancient and modern times. It stands about 150 meters southwest of the Wanquan River Estuary. It is a huge rock reef made of many black boulders and several meters above the sea. From ancient times to the present, this group of stones is expensive, upright and immovable. Its spirit is great and sacred, so it is known as "holy stone". The most vivid spectacle of Shenggong stone is a few hours after the rainstorm. Whenever there is a rainstorm and torrents pour down, the water levels of Wanquan River, longgunhe River and Jiuqu River will soar, gather and fall, and rush to Boao port. At this time, not to be outdone, the sea, with a greater momentum, set off a huge wave, rushing towards the oncoming three river torrents. The two opposite torrents just hit the holy stone at the same time, turning into roaring water and rushing to the sea. The two opposing waves, one round and the other round, smashed to pieces again and again, and turned into a stream again and again, rolling, spinning, rushing forward and crashing back, galloping around the sacred stone, with a spectacular view.

It is said that in the ancient days of Dashi, a scholar visited Shenggong stone. When he was in high spirits, he wrote a couplet with a scene of "lianhuadui" in Wanquan River and the scene of "Shenggong stone". The first couplet is "Lotus pile Guanyin lecture fish listen to explore.". "The second couplet is:" sage stone Confucius on the road wave smile fans. ". Up and down two sentences, the antithesis neat, witty implied, so far spread as allusions.

legend

There is a magic legend about the strange holy stone: in ancient times, because of the collapse of the four sides of the sky, the fire on the earth was not extinguished, the flood was not stopped, and the beasts and birds hurt the people. Nuwa, a kind and hardworking woman in the sky, is ready to relieve the pain

Surnamed suffering, he set up a huge furnace and refined five colored rocks to make up for the sky. When Nuwa tried to refine the stone, she fell a black rock because of a mistake. This stone is not inclined, just fell in the Boao port to the sea, so that the stone here suddenly appeared, later known as "Shenggong stone". The legend of strange stone can be said to express the good psychology and good wishes of the ancients. The poem "Sheng Gong Shi defends the sea" written by Lu Peng, the county magistrate of Yuehui in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty: the sea is uncertain, and who teaches the Sheng Gong Shi to stand by the sea. It's a place of natural danger, and where to find the golden soup. It is pointed out in the poem that Shenggong stone is a spectacle of "heaven and earth set up", which seems to be scientific.
