Discovery process

The accumulation of cave top collapse is also one of the main causes of landscape. According to expert analysis, "Peace Dove", Monkey King, mangy toad and other landscapes are all limestone blocks with cave top collapse. "Learning from Dazhai in agriculture" was left behind by villagers outside the cave in the 1960s and 1970s after activities such as picking phosphate fertilizer, holding meetings and watching movies. Longqiao cave was discovered in the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Longyan cave in the outskirts of the city was discovered. Xinluo was called Kucao town in the Tang Dynasty and belonged to Zhangzhou Prefecture. During the reign of Tang Tianbao, local scholars discovered Longyan cave and Longqiao cave because there were miracles in the two caves The shape of the dragon made people who moved to Longyan from the Central Plains during the Eastern Han and Jin Dynasties very happy. Before the Han people came to this area to start their foundation, the Baiyue people lived here. They worshipped snakes as totems, while the Han people in the Central Plains worshipped dragons as totems. Since the discovery of Longyan cave and Longqiao cave, local officials wrote to Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty, asking for the name of Xinluo county at that time to be changed The name of Longyan county was changed from Xinluo county to Longyan County in an imperial edict issued by Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty. It is said that it was drafted by Li Bai at that time, which is the origin of the name of Longyan. The Han people who came here to start their business migrated from Luoshui, a tributary of the Yellow River in the Central Plains. They are called Heluo people in the academic circles. They interpreted the dragon culture to Baiyue nationality, and the dragon culture spread to southern Fujian and Southeast Asian countries along the Jiulong River. Therefore, according to relevant scholars, this is the birthplace of dragon culture in southern China.

Scenery in cave

Entering the longkong cave, you can see a pavilion with red tiles and white walls - Longyin villa. Surrounded by green mountains, green bamboo, stone and rock, like a funnel, it really has the charm of a paradise. When you come out of the villa and go up the steps along the concrete road through the double dragon pillar gate, there is an open space. In front of it, there is a sign with the inscription of Zhang Jiakun, the leader of Fujian Province - the first cave in East China. On the left side is a schematic diagram of the tour route, and on the right side is the Longshi cave entrance. Above the cave entrance, Mr. Liu Yi, the former director of the National Tourism Administration, impressively inscribed "longkong cave". At the entrance of the cave, the moss on the stone wall is green and pleasant, surrounded by dangerous rocks, and the momentum is grand. Just entering the entrance of the cave, the moss on the stone wall is green and pleasant. The three color gate coming towards us turns to some vague handwriting on the top wall of the cave. It is said that the cave was the base of some patriotic people in Taiwan during the Anti Japanese war. The three color door divides the hole into three parts. The yellow in the middle is the peace door, the happiness door on the left and the fortune door on the right. Enter the three color door, look up at the right hand wall, flat and open, like a big bed of a stone cave, with a stone on top. If a pillow is called a fairy bed, it is said that a tourist can lie on a * lying for a long life, and then go straight ahead. A few steps away, there is a lovely stone and mouth rock hanging in front of him. It is very strange in the light of the lights. Along the cobblestone paved path, many scenic spots will have a "glimmer of sky".

"A line of sky" is a bit magical. Looking up, you can't see the sky or the sunshine. You can only see a toothed notch covered with a misty refraction light, which is responsible for the lighting and ventilation of the whole cave, and also adds to the mysterious atmosphere of the cave. The scattered rocks, together with the light reflection, make people feel like they are on the scene. Their mind is one of the shocks. While marveling at the great power of nature, they can't help but remind people of Li Bai's poem: "half the wall sees the sea and the sun, and the sky sounds in the air." The first cave is an open fairy terrace. The water surface is crystal clear, the ridge is winding, the terraces are clear, the water waves are rippling, reflecting the red sun and white clouds, which makes people think deeply. At the end of the immortal field, there is a horizontal stone, which looks like a big one and a small one. The red light on the top of the stone wall is a huge stone, like the sea god needle in journey to the west, which opens up the upper and lower stone layers. The cave is very open and can accommodate thousands of people. It is said that in the 1960s and 1970s, local people held meetings and showed movies in the cave. It was not only ventilated, but also sunny and rainy, not worried about warm winter and cool summer. When you get out of the cave, you really encounter many lifelike rocks in journey to the west, such as monkey's head bumping against the stone wall, white dragon horse, Monk Tang worshiping Buddha, and the toad eating swan. There are many different kinds of stalactites in the cave, such as stone mantle, stone flower, stalagmite and stone shield.

Out of the first hole in the hole came to the second hole in the hole. The cave in the cave is much more spacious than the previous one. It is divided into two large stone flats, which can accommodate thousands of people. There is a two-color boulder on the edge of the path. The upper half is as black as coke, and the lower half is as boat shaped as a pasteboard. guide
