Qinglongyan, also known as qinglongan or Qinglonghe, is one of the eight ancient sceneries in Xunwu County - "longyanxianji". It is the most famous of the eight sceneries in Xunwu County because of its magnificent temples, strange rocks, green mountains and beautiful waters. It is also known as "the first rock at the source of Dongjiang River" because it is located at the source of Dongjiang River. Its geology is a typical Danxia landform, which is famous far and near.

Located on the East Bank of Xunwu River in Qinglong village of Nanqiao Township, the half foot of a big rock mountain with a height of 100 Zhang and a high cliff is connected with the blue sky on the top and faces the abyss on the bottom. The whole rock mountain is towering with more than 100 caves. Qinglongyan, which is composed of 11 big caves, is the most famous one, with ancient temples and rock halls. There is a gate on the ground floor, which is the only way to enter Qinglongyan. When you enter the temple, you can see the cloisters, halls, scriptures and monks' houses. There is a large Buddha statue in the hall. From the side arch of the hall, after walking through the corridor, you can see an escalator against the wall. The escalator zigzags at right angles, climbs up 20 meters in a straight line, passes through three layers of caves, and then climbs up 30 degrees to the north. There are eight large caves, which are connected with each other by drilling holes or building suspension bridges. There are 100 wooden Bodhisattvas. Facing each other across the river, it is also a precipice. There are more than 800 caves with different sizes. They are not only artificially constructed, but also naturally generated. They are vaguely identified, just like the four characters of "good fortune is like the East China Sea".

The scenery of Qinglongyan originates from a large rock mountain with steep cliffs. The rock is connected with the blue sky above and faces the abyss below. The whole rock mountain is like a green dragon entering the pool, so it is named. The scenic spot was built in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty. It has always been popular with local women and children. There are many tourists. The Longyan ancient temple built in Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty is also hidden in cliff grottoes.

After entering the gate of the scenic spot, walk to the left, which is a path leading to Qinglongyan. You can see the rice trough and oil outlet. According to the folk legend of Xunwu, the origin of these two scenic spots is that the Tathagata Buddha prepared for the temple to solve the problem of rice and oil for tourists. How many people came, how many meters went and how much oil flowed. No more, no less, just enough. However, the cooking monk is greedy. He chisels out the rice trough and oil orifice and sells Xianmi Xianyou. When he is found out, the rice trough no longer produces rice but barnyard millet, and the oil orifice no longer produces oil, which is called "pickled water". This rumor enlightens future generations not to be greedy.

Walking along the path, Qinglongyan is in front of it. A large stone mountain with a height of 100 Zhang stands towering, and there are more than 100 caves of different sizes. Qinglongyan, which is composed of 11 caves, is the most famous one. Only four caves can be climbed now. Depending on the rock, there is the Longyan ancient temple. The ancient temple is built under the huge rock and above the deep pool. It faces the river in the front and the cliff in the back. Because of the dangerous terrain, its construction is difficult for human. Therefore, the allusion that the temple was built by the immortal has been handed down to this day. According to legend, the barefoot immortal, following the Buddha's decree, led his master Yang Gong to dig caves on the cliffs at night and perform immortal skills. While the nearby villagers were sleeping, he demolished the kitchen of the villagers and moved the kitchen bricks to build the Buddha Hall. The local god of land was worried that the villagers would blame him for his inability to protect them, so he learned to crow chickens. Yang Gong thought that the day was coming, and he was afraid to disturb the villagers and make the grass grow I'm done. Perhaps it was because of the remoulding of the villagers' kitchen. Out of guilt, the Buddha of the Tathagata granted a treasure to "the local people of Qinglong village can make a kitchen at any time on the first and the fifteenth day of junior high school, and they don't have to choose a day.".

Qinglongyan goes out to the west, passes the arch bridge of qinglongdukou, and steps on the "stone road". Winding about one kilometer, it is the famous "yixiantian" stone cave, about two Chinese li long. Looking up at the sky from the bottom of the cave, there is only one line, so it is named "yixiantian". It is a cool ancient post road between Jiangxi Nantong and Fujian and Guangdong in ancient times. The traces of horseshoe prints and drinking water streams left by the merchants can still be seen clearly now. It has high archaeological value of scientific exchange. There are also many caves of different sizes in it, with narrow mountain crevices, a meter of sunshine, which is a good place for summer vacation. If it rains, there is a stream winding through the ancient road. People wade through the water and grope for their way. The drizzle on it adds a different flavor.

When the ancient road came out, it was time for the general to set up his troops. The general's array is composed of sword stone, chopping block and fortress stone. It is said that one day, the barefoot immortal was ordered by the Jade Emperor to protect the "immortal trail" and strictly prevent monsters from making trouble. He sent Erlang God to lead the troops and send generals to camp and build fortresses in the southwest of the "immortal trail". The monsters who came to make trouble followed him. Seeing the tight defense of the camp, they did not dare to act rashly, so they had to act according to the situation. In the middle of the night, the chicken suddenly crows. Erlang God mistakenly thinks it's a signal to return to the army, so he orders to stop the troops. The monsters, big and small, see that the time is ripe for chaos, and then they attack. Because Erlang God had received the order of the bugle, he didn't want to fight. In a panic, he dropped his sword and cut down the demon platform and fortress. He didn't have time to demolish them, so he went back to the palace in a hurry. Because Erlang lost his weapon, he was afraid that the Jade Emperor would blame him, so he used magic to turn the sword into a "sword stone", chop the demon platform into a "chopper pier", and the Fortress into a "Fortress stone". In order to punish those monsters, they were also turned into stones, so they became "stone umbrella floating soldiers", leaving behind the ruins of "general array". It is the so-called "sword stone towering mountain front, the general set up a battle to protect Xianyan, cut people pier is still here, in addition to the evil is not easy.".

After visiting these, you can enjoy the water scenery if you go upstream. When you go downstream, you can see Nanlong power station and Qinglong bridge. The strange stone beside the bridge is called "crocodile going to the sea" because it looks like a crocodile. About two kilometers upstream, you can see the famous phosphorus stone back hot spring.

Other introductions

It can be said that there are surprises everywhere in Qinglongyan. Beside the ancient road of "yixiantian" in Qinglongyan, there is also a set of strange array. According to Wen wennian, the array is very similar to that of a general. It is composed of sword like rocks, chopping mounds and fortress stones. After the grotesque rocks were rendered by the local villagers, they added a lot of magic charm. Wen wennian told reporters that the villagers imagined the rock in the "general's array" as the picture of Erlang God sending soldiers to remove demons. Erlang God also used magic to turn the sword into "sword stone", and the demon chopping platform into "chopping pier", and the Fortress into "Fortress stone". In order to punish the monsters, Erlang God made them become stone, so they became "floating soldiers with stone umbrellas". From then on, the site of "general's array" was left. Just as the saying goes, "in front of the towering sword and stone, the general's array was set up to protect Xianyan and cut down the mounds and platforms. It's not easy to get rid of the demons.". The Nanlong power station and Qinglong bridge in Xunwu County can also be seen from the westbound Qinglongyan. A strange stone beside the bridge is called "crocodile goes to the sea" because it looks a bit like an alligator. If you go on, you can see the landscape of "stone presses toad". In addition, there are also moving and wonderful fairy tales such as "Qinglongyan immortal trace", "come out of the cave" and "immortal stone".
