Introduction to the park

Jiuyi mountain has been one of the famous mountains in China since ancient times. Emperor Shun is the founder of Chinese moral culture. According to the records of the historian, "Emperor Shun went hunting in the south, collapsed in the field of Cangwu, and was buried in Jiuyi in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, Jiuyi mountain has become the birthplace of Chinese moral civilization, known as "the source of morality and filial piety, Jiuyi mountain". Emperor Shun's mausoleum in Jiuyi mountain was built in Xia Dynasty. It is the earliest mausoleum and the longest lasting mausoleum temple in China. Jiuyi mountain is located 30 kilometers south of Ningyuan county. It is a national AAAA tourist attraction, a National Forest Park, a National Nature Reserve, one of the eight new Xiaoxiang scenic spots in Hunan Province, one of the top ten tourist attractions in Hunan Province, one of the most popular 100 scenic spots in Hunan Province, a national cultural relic protection unit, a patriotic education base in Hunan Province, and a clean government culture education base in Hunan Province.

The cultural landscape is famous in yunei. For thousands of years, Qu Yuan, Sima Qian, Ji Yong, Li Bai, Li Shangyin, he Shaoji and other famous poets have visited Jiuyi mountain and left a large number of poems to eulogize Jiuyi mountain. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties have either offered sacrifices to Emperor Shun, or sent officials to offer sacrifices on behalf of Emperor Shun. They have left Dashi's holy traces, fairies and cultural relics. Now 42 ancient sacrificial tablets and inscriptions are preserved. Mao Zedong, a great man of a generation, wrote the magnificent poem "seven laws answer friends" full of pride, which is "white clouds fly on Jiuyi mountain, the emperor is green under the wind"

Jiang Zemin happily inscribed "Emperor Shun's mausoleum in Jiuyi mountain", which added infinite brilliance to Jiuyi mountain.

The natural scenery is poetic and picturesque. Jiuyi mountain peaks rise from the ground. There are thousands of peaks, all of which face Shunyuan peak. Therefore, it has been said that "the Wanli River faces Jiuyi mountain" since ancient times. There are many grotesque rocks and caves in Jiuyi mountain, among which zixiayan scenic spot is listed as the first of "Twelve famous caves in southern Chu" by Xu Xiake, a geographer of Ming Dynasty. Jiuyi mountain is one of the birthplaces of Xiangjiang River. It has a large area of primary secondary forest. It has luxuriant trees, vast forest, colorful flowers, and is known as the "three treasures of Jiuyi", especially stone fir, fragrant fir and spotted bamboo. During the period when many rivers, flowing water and deep pools were dotted, mountains and Pinghu merged into the landscape. Mountains grew in the water and water flowed in the mountains. The rare birds and animals in the forest are constantly changing, and they are full of vitality. The clouds in the sky are elegant, with thousands of red clouds, and the stone peak plunges directly into the clouds, which is quiet and dynamic. The quiet environment and beautiful scenery are unique.

Folk customs are unique. The Diaojiaolou built close to the mountain, the simple and honest Yao folk customs, the exotic and gorgeous ethnic costumes, the Yao men and women who are good at singing and dancing, the ethnic cultural activities such as going up the ladder and sitting in the song hall, the customs of carrying the bride, and the mellow "Gua Tuo wine" form the unique tourism cultural resources which are quite different from other tourist areas.

The service facilities are becoming more and more perfect. With the completion and opening of Luoyang Zhanjiang railway, er Guang Expressway and Xiamen Chengdu Expressway and the opening of Yongzhou airport, Jiuyi mountain has the location advantage of a new cultural eco-tourism destination. Jiuyi mountain will welcome many guests and become a holy land for Chinese people at home and abroad, especially the descendants of Emperor Shun, to seek their roots and worship their ancestors and for tourism.

Jiuyi mountain's cultural landscape and natural landscape complement each other. The solemn and solemn Mausoleum of Emperor Shun, the tall and majestic Jiuyi peaks, the lush forest sea, and the grotesque caves all form their own landscapes. Since ancient times, scholars have come here to pay homage to Emperor Shun and chant picturesque beauty.

History and Humanities

Emperor Shun was seriously ill during his southern tour. His two concubines, e Huang and nu Ying, traveled thousands of miles to find their husband. When I arrived in Yueyang, I heard that Emperor Shun had collapsed, and the second concubine burst into tears, dripping blood and tears on the bamboo beside the Xiangjiang River. Later, a kind of peculiar "mottled bamboo" was formed. The two imperial concubines died in tears and blood, and later became the goddess of Xiangshui. Nowadays, there are two imperial concubines' tombs in Junshan, on the Bank of Dongting Lake. In the main hall of Emperor Shun's mausoleum, there is a painting of two imperial concubines, which shows the situation of two imperial concubines dripping with tears. It seems that what a holy emperor is also a man of seven passions and six desires among cannibals. He shows greatness in the commonplace and makes Emperor Shun feel more amiable and respectable.
