Features of scenic spots

Wolong gorge, a beautiful gorge, has lovely clear waters and lovely green mountains. It's a natural gallery. It's really Jiuzhaigou in the south of the Yangtze River. Why is it named Wolong gorge? The first reason is that the shape of the canyon is like Wolong; the second reason is that jia'ao is the settlement of Zhuge Liang, that is, the descendants of Wolong, to express his nostalgia and respect for his ancestors. Third, there is a white rock layer 300 meters long and 40 cm wide, which looks like Wolong, lying in the stream bed.

Wolong gorge has two characteristics: first, it has many landscapes, which are also beautiful and strange; second, it has a natural circular path. The strange Wolong gorge has a long, deep and broad valley, lush forests and bamboo trees on both sides, and many cliffs. In the valley, the streams are murmuring, the pools and waterfalls are numerous, and the strange rocks and rocks are dazzling. The clear water at the mouth of the valley forms a "natural bath" across the foot of the mountain, giving guests and friends all over the world a "happy opening". Among the 6 000 meter winding Wolong gorge, there are dozens of landscapes, such as xiandui, Longren cave, Baihu cliff, Baihu lake, yunu lake, Tongque stage (stage tan), splashing rainbow gorge, Baqu lake, Guizi lake, Chibi lake, Longjing lake, Dandou lake, Hulu lake and guapiaotan, among which xiandui, Longjing lake and little white dragon are the most outstanding. Xianqiao pier is a huge stone standing in the torrent. From a distance, it looks like the sole of a person's foot, with five toes and different lengths. From a close view, it looks like a pier. Longjingtan, formerly known as wudougang, is also known as Longtan. It is 19 meters long, 17 meters wide and 35 meters deep. The water is so green that it makes people palpitating. The waterfall is 12 meters high, and the torrent flows down in the air, causing little waves and ripples. In the middle of Longtan, the little "white dragon" is another name for a white rock layer, winding about 300 meters and 40 cm wide. Its color is quite different from the adjacent rocks, and its boundary is distinct, like a dragon. For a while, it walked along the edge of the slope. Suddenly, it marched along the stream again. Recently, it "dived" into a deep pool. It was a marvelous work.

Another characteristic of Wolong gorge is the natural formation of a circular double line. Go up the stream and swim straight to the biantoutan. Follow a mountain road to niutouzhai. After the tour, you can go down the mountain along a stone road on the side of the village.

Jia'ao Zhuge Village

Jia'ao, the largest settlement of Zhuge family in southern Zhejiang, has more than 1100 Zhuge family members, accounting for two-thirds of the village's population. They are all the direct descendants of Zhuge Liang (Kong Ming). Kong Ming is an outstanding statesman, militarist and the embodiment of wisdom in Chinese folklore during the Three Kingdoms period. According to the Chinese surname roots, it is said that "the origin of Zhuge's surname, it is said that after the demise of Gebo, a descendant of Boyi, one branch of the Ge family moved to Zhucheng, Shandong Province, so it is called Zhuge's surname." According to historical records, "in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang's family moved to Longzhong, Hubei Province, and then moved to Chengdu, Sichuan Province with Liu Bei. In 930, the first year of Changxing in Tang Dynasty, Zhuge family moved to Jiande, Zhejiang Province. In the first year of Huangyou (1049) of the Northern Song Dynasty, the 16th generation of sun Zhuge's good officials, including Dali judge and Zhuge Liang, took their sons Xinyang and Xinlong from Xin'an (Jiande) to oujun (Wenzhou) and lived in Puzhou because of the war. "

In 1404, Zhuge Yuanming, the 20th generation grandson of Zhuge Liang and the 5th generation grandson of Zhuge Liangguan, moved from Puzhou to jia'ao. After 592 years, Jia Ao's Zhuge clan had passed from the original "Yuan" to "Qing", and the number of people increased from more than 10 to more than 1100. For hundreds of years, these Miao people of Zhuge inherited the tradition of "working hard, studying hard, not seeking knowledge" when Zhuge Marquis Wu lived in seclusion in Longzhong. While farming farmland, they did not forget to read and seek knowledge. They studied hard, participated in the development of the production technology handed down from their ancestors, and made a certain contribution to the formation of Linxi "hometown of handicrafts". The ancestral hall built by Zhuge and Huang, the unique custom of worshiping their ancestors together, and the colorful "handicraft series" all show us the extraordinary charm of jia'ao Zhuge and Zhuge village.

Rock carvings of Southern Dynasties

There are three groups of rock carvings in the Southern Dynasties. The rock surface is vertical. On the rock surface 6 meters high and 10 meters wide from the surface, three groups of rock paintings are carved according to the natural cracks. The second group is the main body of the rock paintings. In the central area, a pagoda with seven layers is carved, each layer is carved with Buddha statues, and the middle three layers are also carved with characters. On both sides of the pagoda are carved statues of Buddha, figures and the words "July 27, the first year of Yongding (557 A.D., the first year of emperor Chen Wu of the Southern Dynasty).

After more than 1500 years of wind and rain erosion, it is still as clear as ever, which is awe inspiring. It is a group of precious rock paintings and a priceless treasure left to us by the changeable and turbulent northern and Southern Dynasties. It is also a precious material for studying ancient architectural art and folk customs in China. It is an important feature that Buddhism has been introduced into the mountain villages of southern Zhejiang as early as the northern and Southern Dynasties. On August 29, 1997, Zhejiang provincial government identified it as a key cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level, which is an affirmation of its value.

The villages of jia'ao, Xitan, Daping, Taoxi and Pangshan, where Wolong Gorge Scenic Spot is located, not only have a long history, but also have been well-known in ancient times.

The older generation of Communists such as Liu Ying, Su Yu, Long Yue, Cheng Meixing and Zheng Boyong all fought and worked here. In 1986, Chaoji and Linxi were named as old revolutionary base villages during World War II, and jia'ao, Daping, Taoxi and Pangshan were named as old revolutionary base villages during World War II. Today, several revolutionary sites are preserved here, which is a good place for us to carry out revolutionary tradition and patriotic education for the young generation.
