geographical environment

geological structure

The geological structure of the mountain is based on the Dabie fold belt in the middle Variscan of Paleozoic.

It is mainly composed of pre Sinian strata and intrusive rocks, mainly granite and gneiss. The eastern part of Macheng was more affected by the Yanshan movement. After folding, the mountain was once peneplain. The present mountain contour is formed by the later fault movement. The fault movement is still going on. The Huoshan earthquake in 1923 is an obvious example.

The mountainous area of the Dabie Mountains accounts for about 15% of the total mountainous area, and the rest are mostly low mountains and hills. The valley between mountains is broad and open, with river beach and terrace plain, which is the main farming area. There are many deep valleys and steep slopes in mountainous areas, with complex terrain and changeable slope aspect, and the slope is mostly between 25 ° and 50 °. The Dabie Mountains are high-lying, with well-developed water systems on the north and south sides, flowing into the Yangtze River and Huaihe River respectively. The main rivers flowing into the Yangtze River are doushui River, JuShui River, Bahe River, Qihe River, Xishui River, Dawu River, Jishui River, diving, etc.; the main rivers flowing into the Huaihe River are Xuhe River, Zhugan River, Huanghe River, Guanhe River, Shihe River, etc.

natural resources

The altitude difference of forest in Dabie Mountain is large, and the vegetation changes obviously. The height ranges from more than 400 meters to more than 1700 meters, forming a rich and colorful forest landscape. The plantations of Cunninghamia lanceolata, Cryptomeria fortunei and Pinus massoniana at low altitude are distributed in large areas with clear layers. The trunk of Cunninghamia lanceolata and Cryptomeria fortunei in the forest is straight and vigorous, growing luxuriantly; the branches of Pinus massoniana are vigorous and luxuriant. Quercus variabilis, Quercus glauca, Liquidambar formosana and Dalbergia odorifera are full of vitality and flourishing. There are small pieces of repair Da between them. As the altitude rises, the landscape is quite different. On the steep rocks between the cliffs, the solitary pines of Huangshan Mountain are weathered and calm. On the hillside, the Pinus taiwanensis stands up against the wind, with curved trunk and flag shaped branches, which is very beautiful. Different seasons, different scenery. In spring, the flowers are in full bloom, the plants are spreading, the pines are green and the bamboos are yellow, and a hundred birds are singing; in midsummer, the trees are thick, the shade is deep, the cool wind blows, and the heat is almost forgotten.

temple of the Dragon King

Longwang Temple: Longwang temple is located in the lower reaches of the Houhe river. Although the temple is small, it has been the spiritual sustenance of the mountain residents for a hundred years. According to the stele, it has been renovated three times. The last renovation was in 1888, the 13th year of Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. According to this, the temple has a history of at least 300 years!

It is said that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736), torrential rain and mountain torrents broke out in Huangwei river area. There was a high mountain in the area. Suddenly, the river was blocked by mud and stones, and the flood was rampant.

On the cliff from which the Dragon rises, a cave is suddenly seen. The cave is not deep enough to see the bottom, and the sound of the water is roaring. At one time, rumors are all around. It is said that this cave leads directly to the East China Sea and is the cave where the Dragon goes out to sea, so it is called "Dragon Palace cave".

After that, local villagers raised funds to build a Dragon King Temple on the Bank of Longtan downstream to pray for the blessing of the Dragon King.

Today, more than two hundred years later, the Longgong cave has already collapsed. There are many trees at the entrance of the cave. The Longgong cave has become a hiding place for animals and birds. In the middle of July 2011, there were several days of rainstorms and floods in Huangwei area. One morning, at more than seven o'clock, villagers Wu Ren inspected the Dayan channel. When he passed the opposite side of the Longgong cave, he happened to find the entrance of the Longgong cave, emitting bursts of green smoke. Wu Ren was very strange. How did the entrance of the Longgong cave smoke in rainy days? When he was in doubt, suddenly there was thunder, heavy rain and deafening thunder. A stream of muddy black water flowed from the entrance of the Dragon Palace cave, followed by a large number of debris flows, which made the earth shake.

Wu Ren was so scared that he ran back to the village and called many villagers to watch. At about 9 am, the rain was over and the sun was shining. He saw the Dragon Palace cave pouring out
