Flying clock

It is now hung on a precast reinforced concrete Pavilion in the middle of Junshan and longheshan. One legend is that Yang Yao's uprising army in the Southern Song Dynasty was deeply loved by the common people when they were stationed in Junshan. They raised money to cast this big iron bell and a surprisingly large rectangular iron pot (ten thousand people's pot), which were quietly transported to Junshan at night. At daybreak, the volunteers found the bell and thought it was the help of gods. It came from outside, so it was named. He also said that the bell was very smart. As long as the officers and soldiers had any movement, they would call the police. The bell sounded loud and heard for 10 Li, so that the rebels could be on guard in time. So it was also called "alarm flying bell." There is a record in Baling county annals that Feilai bell "flies from Dongting and can sing by itself". Another legend is that one night, the imperial court sent troops to attack Yang yaozhai stationed in Junshan. Suddenly, a huge bell came from the sky. The sound of the bell alerted the volunteers to rise up against the enemy, so it was called Feilai bell. In a word, people deeply cherish the memory of Yang Yao's uprising army and express their admiration in various ways. The legend of the ancient bell reposes people's feelings. In fact, Feilai bell used to be the ancient bell of Chongsheng Temple in Junshan. In 1245 A.D., the Jinghu pacification system made Meng Gong copy a bell when he rebuilt Chongsheng temple. The bell is more than one Zhang high and weighs more than 4000 Jin. It has "made in Chunyou five years" on it. It has 16 characters: "long live the emperor, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, the weather is good, and the five grains are prosperous" on it. The protruding parts of the four sides are poured with bronze The four golden dragons are lifelike in shape. It was smashed during the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966. Today's Feilai clock, copied by Yueyang valve factory in 1979, is 2 meters high, 1.2 meters in diameter and weighs about 2000 Jin. The battle slogans of Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao's uprising, which are more profound than the former, are cast on the body of Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao.

The uprising of Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao was a fleeing general Kong Yanzhou who led the defeated army to disturb Dingzhou in the war between Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty in the spring of 1130. Marked by Zhong Xiang's Jiegan uprising, they persisted for six years and reached 19 counties by Dongting Lake. Junshan is a base camp of the uprising army. Up to now, Junshan still has relics such as yangyaozhai, Banbianjie, dianjiangtai and wanrenguo. In 1135, Yue Fei of song Gao sect, who regarded the uprising army as a serious trouble, attacked Yang Yao and finally failed in the uprising. Professor Yang Chunqiu of Xiangtan University wrote a poem "the former site of yangyao uprising in Junshan"

The rich and the poor are both rich and poor, and the general is in trouble for this.

Up to now, the turbulent Dongting water is like a dragon chanting from thousands of valleys.

There is also a poem written by Tian Xinzhi, a posterity, recalling the past in Junshan - Yang Yao, the Prime Minister of Diaozhong (Yang Yao, the Prime Minister of Diaozhong, a righteous scholar of ancient times, has been a thief of history for hundreds of years! He thought of all the people in the world and resisted his orders. He said, "wait for the rich and the rich, and both the rich and the poor", which was broken by Yue Fei. A sigh! Today, there are still historical sites in Junshan, which are hung by later generations.) ：

When you go up to Junshan, you will see stratus clouds;

The battle ship is vertical and horizontal, startling the sun and the moon, and the iron horse gallops across the Huaihe River.

General hundred battles are rich and poor, blue blood full of dust;

Where is the soul? There are waves in the silver plate.

Princess tomb

Full name Yu emperor two imperial concubines tomb, in Junshan Banzhu Shanxi head. According to the records of the five emperors in historical records, "in the 39th year of emperor Shunjian, he went hunting in the south, collapsed in the field of Cangwu, and was buried in Jiuyi (now Jiuyi mountain in Ningyuan county), which is a Lingling mausoleum.". At that time, Emperor Shun's two concubines saw that their husband had not returned home for a long time, so they searched around and came to Junshan in Dongting. Suddenly, they heard the news of Emperor Shun's death. They could not help but feel heartbroken and became ill. They died and were buried in Junshan. In 1979, the Hunan Provincial People's government funded the restoration. The tomb is made of round stone with stone pillars erected in front of it. On it are carved the tombstones of Qilin, lion, elephant and Zhongli, "the tomb of the two concubines of Emperor Yu", written by Peng Yulin, governor of the two rivers of the Qing Dynasty. There is a stone censer in front of the stele. Walking down the steps from the censer, there is a 1.5-meter-wide sacrificial road. The stone tablets on both sides of the road are engraved with the inscription "Yinxin stone house" written by Liu Xiang of the Eastern Han Dynasty. A couplet inscribed by Shu Shaoliang in 1918 is engraved on a pair of 2.8-meter-high pillars 20 meters in front of the tomb of the two concubines: the two spirits of the emperor and the two concubines are immortal; the bamboo spots and the tears of one person.

Ambergris well

It is one of the five famous wells in Junshan. It was restored to its original form in 1979. The diameter of the well head is 0.84M. The mouth is surrounded by a ring of dragon cloud stone. The outer ring is built with three layers of decoration. The ochre yellow rock in the well is like a dragon tongue, and the spring water flows into the well from the rock, bit by bit, like saliva. One meter away from the mouth of the well, there is a pair of carved dragon pillars, 3 meters high, 1.4 meters wide, and on the lintel is engraved with the word "longcaojing". It is said that the well water here is clear and pure, warm in winter and cool in summer. It doesn't dry up all the year round. It is the saliva that drips down from the Dragon tongue bit by bit. Wannianchun in Qing Dynasty praised it in Junshan tea song: "try to use ambergris to cook sparrow tongue. It often looks like Junshan."
