Introduction to Ganzhuang mountain

Tianyang is located in the west of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in the middle reaches of Youjiang river. In Tianyang, there are many ancient cultural sites. In addition to the laikui ancient human site, which is one of the earliest in the world, there are also changshelang ancient cultural site, ganlai cave ancient cultural site, paluo ancient cultural site, napei song pottery kiln site, Nayin ancient kiln site, bat cave cliff stone carvings, etc. the unearthed cultural relics mainly include Jing'an bronze drum, nongdou big stone shovel, pailou stone Dage, pailou stone coffin and plate The funerary kiln collects ancient utensils, etc. In 2002, the authoritative science magazine of the United States announced a scientific research achievement in a grand way with cover and comments: the geological age of the ancient human site in Baise basin, Youjiang, Guangxi, China was determined by Chinese and American scholars with argon argon method 803000 years ago, which is one of the earliest known ancient human sites in the world.

Ganzhuang mountain in the middle of Baise basin, Youjiang River, Tianyang, is 326.7 meters above sea level and 198.9 meters above sea level, with a total area of 1700 mu. There are many moving legends in the majestic and strong mountain. It is said that during the Ming Dynasty, there was a geographer named Guo Ziru in Jiangxi. He studied the eight trigrams of yin and Yang all his life, and loved to explore the treasure land of geomantic omen. In his later years, he took several disciples from Jiangxi to Yunnan to explore geomantic omen along the "Dragon vein", and then from Yunnan to Guangxi along the "dragon vein". When Guo Ziru and his disciples ascended Ganzhuang mountain, after repeated inspection, they finally determined that the "dragon head" he was looking for was Ganzhuang mountain. Excited to find the "dragon head", Guo Ziru took out his pen and ink, wrote three big characters "chunxiaoyan" on the cliff of Ganzhuang mountain, and inscribed a couplet: "in the early spring, jinglang urged the swallows to speak, Xiaofeng moved, dew and flowers danced with yingti". This couplet is recorded in Tianyang County annals. On that day, Guo Ziru said to his disciples on Ganzhuang mountain: Ganzhuang mountain faces south in the north, connects Qianli Lailong in the north, and Baili Mingtang in the south. There are green dragons on the left, white tigers on the right, and right rivers in the distance. According to Feng Shui book, Ganzhuang mountain has such words as "Qianli Lailong Qianli Fu", "Mingtang is full of thousands of horses, rich and old". Geographically, Ganzhuang mountain is the moon, and the surrounding slopes are the stars, forming a good geomantic omen of "all the stars holding the moon". Since ancient times, there have been immortals in famous mountains and rivers. There must be very unusual immortals living in Ganzhuang mountain. After a pause, Guo Ziru continued to say: dare Zhuang mountain is the treasure land of Luo Yue's geomantic omen. Who can bury the bones here? His grandson will be the "emperor and general" and his granddaughter will be the "royal marriage". It's very precious! Guo Ziru died soon after he ascended Ganzhuang mountain. It is said that on his deathbed, he said to his disciples: I can finally find Luo Yue's "dragon head" in my life, and die in peace. Guo Ziru's assertion is strikingly similar to the local legend. According to the local Zhuang people, once upon a time, a bright light flashed from Ganzhuang mountain one night, illuminating the sky, Youjiang Basin and Zhuang Township in a flash, and a baby was born, that is Buluotuo. It is said that Buluotuo was the God of Luoyue. When he grew up, he had outstanding wisdom, strength and virtue, and became the founder of the Zhuang people, Buluotuo and the surrounding area A beautiful woman married. The woman's name was Mu Liujia. Later she became the mother of Zhuang nationality. These beautiful legends add mystery to Ganzhuang mountain.

Many Chinese experts and scholars believe that Buluotuo came into being in the Neolithic age and when human beings began to enter the patriarchal clan, because many legends about Buluotuo are related to the Neolithic age, such as Buluotuo's creation of exquisite stone hoes, ploughs, axes, shovels and knives. The invention of Neolithic marks the development of human beings from cave dwelling to house dwelling, from hunting and picking wild fruits to rice culture. In the legend of Buluotuo, there are many such shadows, such as Buluotuo building houses, bridges, rice seeds and so on. In addition, Buluotuo is a man who enjoys a high status among the ancestors of Zhuang nationality, which shows that Buluotuo lived in the patriarchal clan era.

Yuanyang spring

It is said that a couple came to the mountain to gather firewood, sing love songs to each other, and drink the spring water together after singing tired. After being enlightened by Buluotuo, they became lovers. Yuanyangquan got its name from this. The water in the spring is cool, and the water on the rock is shining, which makes people relaxed and happy.

The story of fengdongyan

It has been hundreds of years since Buluotuo and muleja came to the mortal world. For hundreds of years, they have given birth to countless children, and their grandchildren and grandchildren are even more numerous. Buluotuo is also old. His children and grandchildren have spread all over the villages and become Gaozu. He wanted to go out and see how the world he created became, and how his descendants lived, filial piety or not? He thought that on the tenth day of October, after the autumn harvest, people were busy making Ciba to celebrate the harvest. Buluotuo turned into a dirty old beggar with ragged clothes, long beard, long hair and came to a small village far away from Ganzhuang mountain. As soon as they entered the village, people saw the smelly old beggar. Some of the adults ran away from him like a plague, while the kids were around him to make fun of him. But Buluotuo didn't take people's cold treatment seriously at all. He went into a family that was piling Ciba and tentatively asked the housewife, "what are you piling?" Seeing Buluotuo as a beggar, the housewife scolded him in a low voice, picked up a dustpan of Ciba and walked away. Buluotuo went into another house and asked for no fun. No one in the village gave him a Ciba. Only a couple of orphans from cattle herding kindly invited him home for dinner. The older boy mended Buluotuo's clothes and the younger one combed his hair to catch lice.

Buluotuo's heart was cold when he saw this. But he was still unconvinced, and did not believe that his descendants should have such unfilial bastards. Early the next morning, he took a broken bowl to beg for food, only to find that the people still closed their doors and refused to let him in; some even quietly discussed and killed him. It was the young brothers who accepted him sincerely. He was disappointed and determined to punish these unfilial people. So, he told the little brothers that if they encounter strong wind and heavy rain these days, they must run to the nearest tree as soon as possible, hold the tree trunk tightly, and never run around. Then he left.

In a few days, it was really windy and heavy rain. Following Buluotuo's instructions, the orphan brothers ran under the ancient tree and hugged the trunk of the tree to avoid the wind and rain. The rest of the people in the village, especially those who were not good at heart, were blown into the cave by the strong wind, and the hole was tightly blocked by the big stones that came later. After that, the people from the neighboring villages invited skilled craftsmen to dig the hole to save people, but they only chiseled a skin for three days and three nights, and they failed to open the hole for three years. This is the story of fengdongyan.

Ganzhuang mountain is located in naguantun, Liulian village, Baiyu Town, Tianyang County, Guangxi Province, with an altitude of 326 meters. It is said that Buluotuo and mulujia lived in the cave

Niangyan, the cave where Buluotuo's patron saint lives, jiangjunyan, the place where Buluotuo is worshipped, the Yuanyang spring, the holy milk pool in mulujia, the locust cave where buluotuoguan locks locusts, wangzitai and many other sites, as well as the wonders such as chuantian cave, Shijiu cave, Red Army cave, lianlishu, etc.

The legend of Buluotuo is the originator of Zhuang nationality and the "grandfather" of Zhuang nationality. He is omniscient and omnipotent. He is the patriarchal male god of Zhuang nationality. At the same time, he is matched by mulujia, the patriarchal goddess of Zhuang nationality. According to the pronunciation of Zhuang language, Buluotuo's "bu" is the honorific name of an old man with great prestige, "Luo" means to know and know, "Tuo" means to be many and creative, "Buluotuo" is an old man who knows a lot and is creative.

Buluotuo song fair in Ganzhuang mountain originated from worshiping Buluotuo. According to historical records, song fair was formed before Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is said that Buluotuo and mulujia live in the same cave, that is, muniangyan, to breed human beings. On Buluotuo's birthday on February 19 of the lunar calendar, all the children and grandchildren who live in different places come back to pay homage to their birthday. Because there are too many descendants, people at the foot of the mountain set fire to burn incense, forming a long incense dragon. The birthday worship activities continued until the ninth day of March. When the descendants saw that the grandfather was very healthy, they agreed to sing folk songs impromptu. Since then, from the seventh day to the ninth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the descendants who come to pay homage to their birthday will sing folk songs for three days and three nights. Over time, the Ganzhuang Mountain Song Fair has been formed.

From the seventh to the ninth day of the third lunar month every year, 50000 or 60000 people gather spontaneously around
