characteristic

Guanxi cave is a group of caves. There are hundreds of such caves in Dongtian, Changyu. Holes are connected with holes, holes cover holes, and holes overlap holes. The combination of large and small holes is called a group of holes. The cave is a rock cave. The rock is white and immortal. It is shaped like an open cloth bag with a small mouth, a round belly and a flat bottom. The cave is a thousand year old cave. After reading all the vicissitudes of life, visitors can be as open and speechless as a crucian carp. With all kinds of advice, they can't speak freely. Mountains are green mountains, verdant as dye; water is green water, murmuring into sound. Circling up the foot of the mountain, through the shady orange forest, you can see the parking lot in front of the cave in a twinkling of an eye. In front of the cave, the steps into the cave can be seen faintly, but the sound and color of the cave are not moving. It is still the verdant mountain and the water flowing. Wading through the flowing steps, the cave is right in front of you. The vines are covered like beards, and the mouth of the cave is like a pair of words.

Changyudongtian

In April 1998, Dongtian on Changyu Island won the Guinness top prize in the world and the best project award of "Guinness top" in 1998. Visiting Dongtian on Changyu Island, you can see the essence of Chinese stone culture, which is one of the best in the world. From the formation of these caves, you can also understand the indomitable will and fearless spirit of our ancestors who have been digging mountains and conquering nature for hundreds of millions of years.

Interior landscape

Stepping into the cave, there is a stone corridor on the water. The water is several Mu wide and about Zhang deep. The bottom of the bridge is pasted with water, and the railings stand upright. The fish have to kiss their shoes. The water gathered in the cave is clear and pleasant, not as dirty as the water coming out of the mountain. Seeing the fish coming from the cave shaking their tails, dropping their heads, diving to the bottom and sipping the water, it is like a happy and contented state in the Peach Blossom Land. "Guanxi cave" is in the cave at the entrance. The entrance of the cave faces north, and half of the open air also faces northwest. Only the setting sun can bring some light to the cave group. The name "guanxi" is in fact true. Walking through the water corridor, it is more spacious and more open. This is a cave hall that can accommodate thousands of people. In the center of the hall, the lotus throne of one person and the Maitreya of several people are carved from the whole Boulder, gathering the light of the four Buddhas in the revealing place. They are accepting everything with tolerance and magnanimity. To the right of the hall, dozens of steps up, is a platform for renting pleasure boats. The platform is more than 100 square meters. Under the platform, there are seven or eight boats moored in the more clear water. From the inside to the left, you can see the passage that seems to be able to walk. The boat can be stepped on or swayed by hand. At first, it was a boatman with no basis for advance and retreat. There were those who wanted to go further and retreat, those who wanted to go left and right, and those who wanted to turn around in the same place. They were at a loss and clumsy. Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh All smiles. When the boat enters the narrow channel, the buttress is feasible, and the oar and rudder are somewhat obedient. Nearly 100 meters long passage, the widest part can let two ships cross the side, narrow place can only pass one ship. Fortunately, there are two passages in the cave, and the boat can circle in the cave as much as possible. At the end of the cave is a water surface of 100 square meters, which can be disembarked. There are tents, tables and chairs for people to rest on the shore. It's all illuminated by lights. Otherwise, it's absolutely invisible. This is a cave dug out of the mountain. It has neither source nor flow. The stone cave of thousands of years is the accumulated water of thousands of years. The stagnant water is not rotten. It is pure as a virgin. Maybe it's because it doesn't enter the world. Otherwise, it's incredible. Back to the hall where Maitreya was sitting, on the left side of the road, a section of black and low cave was drilled out. The vertical wall was like a ring, and the drops were like curtains. The north side of the mountain wall was open, and connected with a completely open cave outside. On the top was a blue sky, and on the bottom was a flower garden built at the bottom of the cave. From here to the left, turn a stone gate, and it's the way up. The top of the lower cave is the bottom of the upper one, and the top of the upper one is the bottom of the upper one. Therefore, all kinds of wonders come into being. At the bottom of the cave, there is a deep pool, which has accumulated water for thousands of years. It is dark and black, and it can't be measured. When you climb to the top of the cave, there is a well circle around the bottom of the cave. When you look at the railings, it is facing the dark pool of water that is far away from the bottom of the cave, which is called "suspended well". There is a stone bowl in the cave, which has won the Guinness world record. It is carved from a huge stone with a diameter of several meters and a turtle at the bottom of the bowl, which is auspicious. Crowded among the tourists, touching the bowl and sighing, I'm afraid that only a hungry and afraid nation can have the idea of chiseling a huge bowl to pray for food and clothing. Looking at the tourists smiling and taking photos by the stone bowl, we should be glad that we are finally living in an era far away from hunger. From the north side of the stone bowl, there is a unique stone bridge. Under the bridge, Qianren abyss is connected by several caves; on the other end of the bridge, there are cliffs. Is there any other bridge to the cliff? What's more puzzling is to call this broken bridge "heart bridge", an unrestrained and vigorous word "heart", which is applied with houtty red paint and engraved on the cliff opposite the bridge. What it implies is that people's mind is as dangerous as an abyss, or that people's mind is separated as a cut, or both? Let a friend take an angle, with the bridge and the bloody heart as the background, leaving a shadow. It's not clear whether it's masturbation, introspection or self alarm, let alone whether it's against the original intention of the bridge maker. The road beside the bridge is chiseled along the wall. Although one side of the road is protected by stone railings, after all, it faces a thousand Ren. When you approach the heart bridge, you can't help but feel chilly. The original road back, around the stone bowl eastbound, is a must bow to the stone road, the road goes up, but the more wet. Walking out of the stone road, I realized that it was a cave with the sound of a spring. The water drips from the top of the cave, which is more than Zhang high, onto a stone carving in the shape of an ancient copper coin. From time to time, the square hole in the middle of the stone carving splashes out crystal water drops, Ding Dong, which corresponds to the four words on the stone wall - "sound of spring and stone rhyme". Approaching the stone carvings, we can see four elegant and mellow ancient treasures on the copper coins - "Zhenghe Tongbao". It is said that when clearing the cave, an ancient coin named "Zhenghe Tongbao" was found. "Zhenghe" is the year name used in the Northern Song Dynasty, which means "government is in harmony with people". So, according to the situation, chisel stone, into this scene. From this cave out, there are still several big holes around the wall. I don't feel tired. Out of the mouth of the cave, it was close to the top of the mountain. The cool wind of late autumn comes to us, blowing away the heat of climbing all the way. When you sit on the top of the mountain, you can see a few caves on the opposite hillside. How many wonders there are in the hundreds of caves all over the mountains? It's really fascinating.

Folklore

These caves, located in Wenling, Zhejiang Province, were originally mine caves left by Wenling people digging stones to make a living. The quarrying industry here started in Jin Dynasty and ended in the last ten years. So far, we can still see the scene of quarrying in individual caves. The stone was lifted out of the mine by a simple crane and put on a wooden handcart. The handlebar was supported by a man with his shoulder, and the wooden block tied behind the cart was used to touch the ground. Along the rough mountain road, it bumped to the foot of the mountain For more than a thousand years, generations of Wenling people have been struggling for survival in such difficult, arduous and backward labor. With one hammer and one drill, they can't realize the dream that food can nourish their belly and clothing can cover their body for generations. However, they are living in such a stone palace with creativity and vitality, and a monument to the will and wisdom of human survival. Wenling, known as Taiping in ancient times, read the annals of Taiping County in Jiajing. Shicang mountain, where Dongtian on Changyu island is located, was only written as a stone digger by the people who compiled the annals

As a scenic spot, today it has become a famous provincial scenic spot. Tao Xingzhi said, if you have two pieces of bread, take one for a narcissus, because bread is the food of the body and Narcissus is the food of the spirit. We have bread that can be exchanged for Narcissus, but it is only in recent years. The stone quarrying shicang mountain used to be a piece of bread of Wenling people, but today's Dongtian on Changyu island is absolutely a narcissus in front of the world.
