Features of scenic spots

The shape of the shoe hill is like a shoe. It is low in front and high in back. The shoe hill is about 500 meters long and 200 meters wide. The highest altitude is more than 90 meters. It is said that the fairy fell into the lake in embroidered shoes, hence the name shoe mountain. The mountain is surrounded by surging blue waves, three cliffs, and only the northwest corner, where boats can be moored.

On the island, you can see Lushan mountains in the West and stone bells in the north. On the island, there are verdant trees. In the distance, the lake is full of waves, and the sea is full of smoke.

Beautiful legend

The island has a long and rich cultural landscape. It is said that the stone inscriptions of Dayu controlling the flood in Lishi have been obliterated. The word "mianyun" written by song MiFu and the stone inscriptions of Qing Dynasty "Lingbo is the first, and the brocade socks are unparalleled" are both there. On the island, there were the great fairy temple, the Queen's palace, the dressing table, the seven storey tower and other buildings. When Wu Zetian was in the Tang Dynasty, Xu Jingye, a rebel, was defeated. He cut his hair to become a monk and lived in seclusion here.

In addition to the unique scenery and numerous historical sites, there are also some egrets, herons and egrets, inhabiting in the shoshan mountain. Heron individual tall, wings stretch up to more than one meter. Egrets are good at flying all year round in the air of Poyang Lake. The travelers and sailors on the ships throwing food at them can accurately receive it, no matter how high or low, far or near, so it is called "begging bird" in historical books. This miracle has greatly added to the mystery of Dagushan.

There are many moving stories about shoshan. In addition to the myth that the fairy lost her shoes and became an island, the most famous one is the story described in Soushenji of Jin Dynasty. The story says: one day a businessman passed by shoshan by boat, met two young girls and asked if he was going to the city? Please buy us two pairs of shoes. The merchant thought that the two women were goddess, so he bought shoes immediately after he went to the city. When he returned, he stopped the boat and put the shoes in the bamboo bowl. He reverently carried the shoe to the statue of the temple on the top of the mountain. When he got on the boat and was about to leave for a long distance, suddenly a big carp jumped into the cabin from the water and cut the fish open. There was a book and knife he had forgotten in his belly.

These beautiful and moving stories, of course, are made up by people. In fact, the appearance of shoe mountain is not the lost embroidered shoes of fairies, but the masterpiece of Quaternary glaciers. When the glacier army marched to Poyang Lake, this huge rock lay in the lake, blocking the way of the glacier. The glacier had no choice but to brush it from its left and right sides. After thousands of years of grinding, the boulder became today's shoe like shape, narrow in front and wide in back.

historical event

Located at the intersection of Poyang Lake and Yangtze River, shoshan is the only big island on the surface of the lake from south to north. Of course, it is a must for military strategists of all dynasties. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, Zhou Yu of the state of Wu practiced the water army here, and later went out of the lake to break the Cao army in Chibi. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Youliang lost his battle in kanglang mountain, retreated from shoshan, built a city on the island, and then fought with Zhu Yuanzhang in shoshan. In the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping army once launched the influential Poyang Lake water war with shoshan as its base, which made Zeng Guofan dive and attempted to commit suicide

Many historical events have left many cultural landscapes such as "Great Wall" and "fort" to sho island. In addition, ancient buildings such as temples, pagodas and theatres, as well as poems, paintings and calligraphies left by Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Xie Jin, Mi Wanzhong, Peng Yulin and other poets and poets of all ages, sho mountain really gives people a sense of beauty, which is worthy of being a great wealth on Poyang Lake. Among many local products, the most famous one is shoshan absorbent stone. Shoshan water absorbing stone is a kind of rare natural ore. this kind of ore has been sleeping in the cave for a long time and has gradually grown into a special kind of stone. This kind of stone looks like stalactite from the appearance, but it is different from stalactite from a close look. This kind of stone is full of holes and has strong water absorption. Therefore, the bonsai and Panjing made of water absorbing stone of shoshan mountain not only have beautiful appearance, but also can plant flowers and grass on the stone. In particular, the monks on the mountain dig big holes on the huge stone. When it is sunny, the holes are dry, and when it is cloudy, the holes are foggy, which become accurate weather forecast objects on the mountain.

Shoshan Island, known as the "first shoe" in the world, is listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO.
