Among them, Dongshan Fengshi is located at the east foot of yilou in the southeast corner of Tongling Town, Dongshan County, Zhangzhou City, and Ta Yu is located at the east side of Tongling town. With the wind driven stone as the center, together with the ancient city of Tongshan, Lantau, jiuxianding in the West and Malan Bay in the south, it forms a unique and complete tourist attraction.

Brief introduction of pneumatic stone

Fengdongshi has been famous since ancient times. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was recorded in Zhang Dai's "night sailing ship: absurd Department": "on the Heming mountain in Zhangzhou, there are stones with a height of 5 Zhang and a circumference of 18 Zhang. They are born in Dapan stone pavilion. When the wind comes, they move. They are called fengdongshi."

The wonder lies in the excellent balance of weight between the front and the back, the left and the right. When the wind blows, the stone shakes from left to right, but it will not move again when it tilts to a certain angle, so it is called wind rock. The stone is granite, 4.37 meters high, 4.57 meters wide, 4.69 meters long, weighing about 200 tons. Human power can also shake the wind rock. If you find a tile and place it under the stone, and choose the right position, one can gently shake the huge stone. At this time, the tiles "cluck" and turn into vermicelli in an instant.

We can see the greatness of the front, the strangeness of the side and the danger of the back. Looking from the back, the jade rabbit shaped stone is lying on the outward leaning stone plate, and the huge stone ball is dangling and precarious; looking from the front, the stone is like a flat peach, with a circular arc at the bottom, and the tip of the stone plate is only a few inches. It is dangling and slanting in the air, and it is unstable when the wind blows.

On the front of the stone, there is the big character "Tongshan fengdongshi" written by Huang Daozhou, the great scholar of Wuying Hall of the Ming Dynasty. On a square stone tablet in front of the fengdongshi, there is a poem written by Cheng Chaojing, governor of the Ming Dynasty: "nature turns out to be a pill. In the East, there are thousands of mountains in the valley. The sky wind blows down to the middle of the pass, and the sea still has to turn. Wuding's desire to do something is hard to do, and one of his soldiers doesn't have enough to eat. Who can measure the protection of ghosts and gods? It's better to observe the dynamic and static situation here. "

Historical records

On February 13, 1918, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in Dongshan Island. Rocks fell, houses collapsed and people died, but the wind-driven rocks were safe.

After the July 7th incident, the Japanese army attempted to remove the wind moving stone. The Japanese warship Taihe pill was tied to the wind moving stone with steel wire ropes. After full power, many steel wires were broken, but the wind moving stone did not move. Finally, the Japanese army had to give up this attempt.

After all the vicissitudes of life, fengdongshi still stands obliquely as before. How did this strange stone come into being? It's still a mystery.

Scenic environment

Tongshan ancient city was built in 1387. It faces the sea in the East, South and North, and reaches jiuxianding in the West. Because it is close to Tongbo and Dongshan villages, it is named after each other. The city wall is made of granite, 1903 meters long and 7 meters high. There are 864 crenels in the battlements. There are gates in the East, West, North and south, and two towers in the southwest. It is a water village surrounded by mountains and sea. In the 22nd year of Jiajing (1543) of Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang wiped out the Japanese pirates; in the 6th year of Chongzhen (1633), Xu Yiming, commander of Lu Zhenfei, defeated the Dutch East India fleet twice in Tongshan; in the 2nd year of Longwu (1646), Zheng Chenggong took it as one of the bases of anti Qing Dynasty to train the Navy and recover Taiwan; in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683), Shi Lang, commander of Fujian Navy, came from Tongshan Hong Kong and Gongqian set sail for the eastern expedition to unify Taiwan. There is a natural stone cave on the seashore outside the east gate of the city. It is said that there is a tiger perch, so it is called "hukong". The cave is 15 meters long and about 5 meters wide. It has a sweet spring. It is not dry in severe drought. The stone plaque of "spirit liquid" is engraved on the wall, which is called "hukongdi jade". At the top of jiuxianding, there are more than 20 cliff inscriptions such as "fairyland of human life", "sea and sky", "official sea and Enbo" and "spring and autumn of three islands". A huge stone engraved with "Yaotai Xianqiao" is the Shuicao platform of Qi Jiguang and Zheng Chenggong.

Tayu, also known as dongmenyu, is 800 meters away from Tongling town. It is named after a Wenfeng tower on the top of the mountain. With an area of 80.5 hectares, the island, together with Jiangxin Island in Wenzhou, Gulangyu Island in Xiamen and Lanyu Island in Taiwan, is known as China's four famous islands. There are many rocks on the island. At the southern end of the island, there are four islets, namely dragon, tiger, lion and elephant. Wenfeng tower was built by Cai Chao, Fujian sea patrol Road, in 1526. The tower has 7 floors, 32 meters high and 14 meters around. The top of the tower is made of two big round stones, which is a sign of navigation. There are two caves on the island. Among them, Yunshan stone room is Huang Daozhou's reading place, and there are four big characters "Yunshan stone room" written by Huang Daozhou when he was young. Beside the cave, there is a stele square erected by Pan Siqu, governor of the Qing Dynasty, with "Mr. Huang Shizhai's reading place" engraved horizontally and "Yang Zhi Gao Shan" engraved on the back. Yingshi cave is opposite to the stone chamber, under Yingzuiyan. There is a huge stone on the entrance, such as a eagle standing on the top, with the word "Shi Zhai" engraved on it. It is Huang Daozhou's bedroom. According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, "Daozhou studies all over the world. There are many people who come here. Tongshan is on an isolated island. There is a stone room in it. Daozhou has been sitting and lying in it since he was a child, so scholars call him Shizhai." Ming Dongge University scholar wrote a poem in the room: "the door of the cave is six or six locks, haze, blue water and Danshan first, cold spring flows in the middle of the night, clear dew drops pine flowers in the morning." There are many stone carvings around the cave, among which the calligraphers Guan Yun, Cheng Zhongxin and Zhang Tingzhen's "Haibin Zou Lu", "Huang Daozhou's calligraphy" and "Shipan" are the most famous.

There is a direct bus from Zhangzhou to the ancient city of Tongshan. From the ancient city of Tongshan, you can take a boat to ta Yu.
