Overview of scenic spots

The hillside in front of Daping village has undulating peaks. On the stone slope, there stand two banyan trees with thick leaves. One is about six feet in circumference, and the other is about ten feet in length. The two banyan trees run through the trunks and extend through the branches. The branches are curled and hanging upside down like a comb, coiled into all kinds of strange branches, winding in the branches and leaves of banyan trees.

The banyan tree is about ten feet high, with branches and leaves covering an area of about sixty square feet. The green leaves are thick and shady, and there is a twining of Niu Li Teng, just like a green veil on the face. There is a natural stone cave under the banyan tree. People can enter the cave by detour. Inside the cave, there are natural stone beds and stone chairs; after walking dozens of steps, there are fresh bamboo shoots hanging under the stones, which are full of sunlight. Looking up from the cracks in the stones, you can see the green bamboo standing on the stones. Green bamboo grows on the top of the stone, and bamboo shoots grow under the stone, which can be called "immortal bamboo wonder".

It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou as a governor. When he was in contact with Guangji monk, he had a close relationship with him, with the intention of eliminating harm and benefiting the people. Therefore, it was discussed to build a stone bridge across the East and west sides of the Hanjiang River to facilitate traffic.

Guangji monk built the west section and Han Yu built the east section. Guangji monk took stones from Sangpu mountain and Han Yu took stones from Fenghuang mountain. When Han Xiangzi, the nephew of Han Yu, heard the news, he secretly asked Li Tieguai to come to help him. Each of them cast magic and competed in secret. Monk Guangji's magic failed in Wuyang. He suspected that it was Han Zhi who did it. He took advantage of Han Xiangzi and Li Tie's turning at Fenghuang mountain to drive the stones and also used his magic. He ordered a child prodigy to become a pregnant woman and fly to Fenghuang mountain.

When Li Daxian turned the stone into a black pig and drove to dapingling, he happened to meet a pregnant woman. In an instant, there was no sign of the black pig, so he asked the pregnant woman, "did a group of black pigs go down the mountain?" To Japan: "where can I see a black pig, I can only see a pile of dead stones.". After listening to Li Daxian, he knew that the magic had been seen through, but the magic machine could not be leaked. He had to go up to the stone pile and hit several sticks. In his anger, he put in the bamboo stick to drive the stone and returned it to Han Xiangzi. But Guangji monk is still not at ease, and then ordered two prodigy into a banyan tree standing on the stone, guarding the stone. He was also afraid that the prodigy would neglect his duty and tied the two prodigy with a rope. Later, Li Daxian's bamboo stick took root and sprouted in the crevice of the stone. The banyan tree transformed from the prodigy stood towering on the stone, and the rope turned into Niu Li Teng.

This wonderful folk legend has been handed down from generation to generation since Daping was built hundreds of years ago.

Information record

According to records, when Fengnan waterfall was in full bloom, it flew straight down, sprayed beads and splashed jade, which was very spectacular. However, it is because of such a large drop and large flow that water conservancy workers have built a hydropower station here. Therefore, the Fengnan waterfall we see now is actually an unnatural waterfall that has been artificially transformed. Because it is necessary to use the drop to generate electricity, a waterfall is divided into three by the sluice. From a distance, it looks like three white dragons on the edge of the Jiulong basin, in the surrounding green It's very eye-catching.

Han Wen Temple

The earliest existing temple in China commemorates Han Yu, a writer of Tang Dynasty. It is located on the East Bank of Hanjiang River in the east of the city and under the "Shuangshi stone" of Bijia mountain. Bijiashan, or Dongshan, is also called Hanshan because of Han Yu. In 819, Han Yu was demoted to be the governor of Chaozhou for admonishing the Buddha bone. After eight months in Chaozhou, he inquired about the sufferings of the people, paid attention to agriculture and mulberry, built embankments, prospered schools, sacrificed crocodiles, and opened Chaozhou style of writing, which left a profound influence on Chaozhou people. Later generations respected Han Gong and called Bijia mountain "Han mountain" and Pavilion "Shilang Pavilion". In 1189, Ding Yunyuan, the governor of Junzhou in Song Chunxi, thought that Han Gong had been here and planted oak trees, so Han Gong's ancestral hall should be built here. Therefore, Han Wen Gong's ancestral hall, which is seven Li south of the city, was moved to the present site.

From then on, the Confucian wind has been in the mountains; it was only in August when the officials were in charge, the tide was flat and the crocodiles were all over Yingzhou." There are 36 inscriptions in the temple. The earliest one is Su Shi's stele of Chaozhou hanwengong temple, which was moved from the south of the city and placed under the south wall of the main hall. The front and back beams and columns of the ancestral hall are decorated with plaques inscribed by modern people for the restoration of the Korean ancestral hall. Han ancestral temple is close to the mountain and water, solemn and dignified.
