Maonu cave

Maonv is a fairy in ancient myths and legends. He has long hair all over his body and eats pine leaves. He is as light as a swallow. Maonu cave is located on maonu peak in the northwest of the main peak of Huashan Mountain. It is a natural stone niche on which a temple is built for a painted statue of maonu. It's said that it's the place where maonv lives in seclusion.

According to the biography of the immortals, maonv, whose name is Yujiang, was the maiden of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. Because she was buried in Lishan Mountain, she fled to Huashan Mountain with her husband. Later, under the guidance of Gao Shi, he starved of pine and cypress seeds and thirsted of clear spring water, resulting in green hair on his body and flying. By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, maonu was over 170 years old. It is said that she had been seen for generations by mountain hunters. It is said that Tao Taibai and Yin Zixu met maonu and her husband in Huashan during the reign of Tang Dazhong, and they drank wine and wrote poems together. "Who knows the difference between the past and the present?" she said in a poem. Xiao Guan Qin Lou should be quiet, colorful clouds empty make Xue Luo Yi According to the legend of Huashan Taoist priest, even today, in the dead of night, you can still hear the sound of maonu cave crying. There are many poems about maonv by scholars in the past dynasties. Chen Tuan wrote a poem about maonv: "once I broke pine branches into treasure bars, and then I made millet leaves into luoru. Sometimes when I ask about the Qin palace, I laugh and hope it's too empty. "

Today, maonu cave still exists, but because of the difficulty and danger of climbing the road, and blocked by Jingcao, it has not been seen for a long time. There was a temple under maonu peak, which was called maonu cave lower courtyard. Local people called it maonu cave directly. The original building was destroyed during the cultural revolution, and the present sheyu was rebuilt in 1987.
