Human history

evolution

Langya Mountain was called motuoling in ancient times. In 771 of the Tang Dynasty, Li Youqing, the governor of Chuzhou, searched for wonders. It is said that Sima Gu, the king of Langxie, once led troops here. Because of his name, it is also called Langxie mountain. Later, Ouyang Xiu's story of the drunken man Pavilion made it famous all over the world.

With the change of the world and the change of history, the ancient buildings in Langya Mountain have gone through many vicissitudes, and many of them have been damaged. Most of the existing ancient buildings were built or restored in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China.

After the founding of the people's Republic of China, in 1956 and 1962, the people's Government of Anhui Province issued two documents and decided to list Langya temple, zuiwengting and fengleting as key cultural relics protection units at the provincial level.

In the autumn of 1959, Chuxian Bureau of culture and education sent a special person to take charge of the establishment of "Ouyang Xiu Memorial Hall" in zuiwongting, which is responsible for the maintenance and management of zuiwongting scenic spot. During the "Cultural Revolution", the ancient buildings and inscriptions of Langya Mountain were destroyed.

In the summer of 1974, Chuxian district reform committee decided to establish "Langya Mountain Cultural Relics Management Office".

In June 1980, with the approval of the people's Government of Anhui Province, the "Langya Mountain Management Office in Chuxian area" was formally established to strengthen the management and construction of Langya Mountain scenic spot. After more than 10 years of efforts, except for fengleting scenic spot, which has built oil depots and has not yet been restored and opened, the temples and pavilions of Langya temple and zuiwengting scenic spot have been repaired, some new buildings have been added, and two new scenic spots, Yefang garden and Shenxiu lake, have been set up, laying a foundation for the development of tourism in Langya Mountain.

Approved by the Ministry of forestry of the State Council in December 1985, Langya Mountain Forest Park in Anhui Province was jointly built by the Ministry, province, prefecture and city, which was listed as one of the 10 key forest parks in China.

After the establishment of "Langya Mountain Forest Park Management Office" in 1986, a comprehensive plan for the construction of Langya Mountain scenic spot has been formulated. With the approval of the national planning department, it is decided to allocate funds for construction and expansion in succession during the seventh and eighth "Five Year Plan".

In August 1988, approved by the State Council, it was designated as a national key scenic spot.

On January 11, 2001, Langya Mountain Forest Park became one of the first national AAAA scenic spots in China.
