Among the 24 sceneries of Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, there is a scene named "Huangshan Jicui". In 1985, Huanglong cave was built into an antique amusement park with religious and cultural connotations and temple landscape. It was selected as one of the ten scenic spots of the new West Lake.

"Huanglong" refers to the Huanglong cave in broomwood on the north slope of qixialing. It is said that during the Chunyou period of the Southern Song Dynasty, a Zen master named Huikai came to Huanglong Mountain in Jiangxi Province to climb the mountain to seek rain. A stone suddenly cracked behind the mountain. The crack was like a "dragon's mouth" and bubbled out a clear spring. For a time, it was said that Huanglong flew with Huikai, hence the name. Huanglong cave is a rockery cave made of rocks near the mountain. To be exact, it is a courtyard garden with unique charm and bright and quiet. After several historical changes, Buddhist temples have been transformed into Taoist temples, and Taoist temples have been turned into imitative gardens. Now Yuanyuan folk garden with the theme of "Yuan" has been built.

Original name

There are also many legends about Huanglong cave. Some say that in memory of a little Huanglong who led Hangzhou people to defeat the evil old Huanglong, people built a yellow dragon head in the place where it died, and named it Huanglong cave. The water from the mouth of the dragon is people's tears. It is also said that during the reign of song Chunyou, monks from Huanglong Mountain in Jiangxi province came here to build a temple. Suddenly, Huanglong flew to the ground one day. The rock cracked like a dragon's mouth, and a clear spring gushed from it, so it was called "Huanglong cave". Another is that it is said that a monk named Huikai in Song Dynasty came here to build a temple for practice, and then the Yellow Dragon flew in, and the spring gushed out from the mouth of the dragon.

At the northern foot of qixialing, the north mountain of the West Lake, in the depth of luxuriant forests and bamboo trees, lies the historic site of Huanglong cave, which is a Taoist paradise.

Among the 24 sceneries of Hangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, there is a scene named "Huangshan Jicui". Huanglong cave preserves the gate of the original Taoist temple. The scenic spot is a pool of clear water, a dragon spitting clear spring, and a pool pouring water. It is engraved with the famous sentence "water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will work properly" in Liu Yuxi's "humble chamber inscription" of Tang Dynasty, which either stands alone, or gathers stones, or stacks to form a peak. From afar, the stone peaks are like a forest, with heavy mountains and emerald trees; from inside, they are confused and zigzag, clear and ethereal, with both vigorous style and elegant style.

Interior landscape

Huanglong cave preserves the entrance of the original Taoist temple. The double eaves of the mountain gate are tilted, and the shape is simple. On both sides of the gate, there are golden couplets hanging on the blue bottom, saying: "the Yellow River is inexhaustible; Laozi is still alive.". 》This couplet is one of the best couplets in the West Lake. The first reading of the couplet seems to be incomplete and its meaning is difficult to understand. In fact, it uses a rhetorical device of ellipsis, cleverly purifies the characters of Huang, and its name is Lao Tzu Qi you long ye? 》(Confucius praises Laozi) is omitted. This couplet says that since the Yellow Emperor, Taoism has never dried up like the water in a deep pool, while Laozi is a great man like a dragon who has become an immortal. The rhetorical devices of Tibetan characters also make people associate with the saying of "the Dragon sees the head but not the tail".

Across the pool, a large yellow dragon head sculpture with eyes bulging, nose lifting, mouth opening and whisker raising appears on the evergreen dangerous rock. The dragon's mouth spits out the clear spring and pours into the pool. The sound of the water is like a zither. At the entrance of the clear spring to the pool, a towering boulder stands in the water. On both sides, the famous sentence "water is not deep, if there is a dragon, it will work properly" in Liu Yuxi's humble chamber inscription of Tang Dynasty is engraved respectively, which points out the theme of the landscape here.

The rockery of Huanglong cave is built with heavy yellow sand stones according to the ups and downs of the mountain and terrain.

It shows that the gardening art of mountain forest temples is close to nature, integrates with nature, and has the advantages and charm of deep ingenuity and no trace.

Xiao Huanglong led people to pour water from the West Lake into Ziyun Cave, drowned old Huanglong and put out the fire; and Xiao Huanglong also died in the fight. People buried the little yellow dragon in tears. Tears seeped into the heart of the little yellow dragon and overflowed from his mouth, so a small waterfall flowed from his grave.

It became a famous Taoist temple in Hangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty and is still well preserved today.
