Historical evolution

Yerenzhai, also known as gukou. In the Han Dynasty, people called it gukou, which means that it is the gateway of the valley.

The name of gukou was changed to yezhai, which came from Liu Yuan's war against the Yuan Dynasty in the late Song Dynasty. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, most of Jiangbei area fell into the hands of yuan and Mongolia. According to historical records, Liu Yuan was named Shuqing, a savage and a man from Meicheng in Qianshan. In 1275, the yuan Mongolian army attacked Anqing, and the governor fan Wenhu surrendered, which aroused great resentment among the army and the people. In 1277, Liu Yuan, a wise and brave man, proposed to set up troops in Tianzhu Mountain. From gukou to Xiguan, there were five li battalions and ten li fortresses, and there were many soldiers and horses. He contacted with song appeasement Shi, Zhang Dexing and others, repeatedly defeated yuan soldiers, and protected more than 100000 people from being ravaged. Later, because of the traitor's betrayal, the stronghold was broken down and Liu Yuan's blood stained the battlefield. Zhu Zhanji, Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, made Liu Yuan the king of protecting the land in order to show his meritorious service in defending the country. He also called the place where he built the village and started fighting "Yeren village". In addition, according to the public's reputation, it is said that in ancient times, there were wild people haunting here, injuring people and animals. The county magistrate lured the wild people into the cave with strong liquor, and they died together. Therefore, it is called "wild man village". This is just a magic folk legend.

Yerenzhai is a small town with mountains and rivers. It was a ferry in ancient times. With continuous Cuiling mountains, surrounded by valleys, Biwu haze and winding paths, it is a gathering place of scenic spots at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.

There are the site of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worshiping Yuetai and Jingjia bridge, the diving of rippling blue waves and boat racing, the famous temple of the three ancestors, the ancient jueji pagoda, the ringing of bells and drums, the misty smoke, the light of mountains, the shadow of pools, and the people of small bridges. SANZU temple is located on the Fengxing mountain in the north of yerenzhai, which is the South Gate of Tianzhu Mountain.

In 505 A.D., Baozhi, an eminent monk of Daolin temple in Liangdu health (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province), built the temple here. Xiaoyan, Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, granted the name of valley temple.

In 509 ad, Seng can, the third generation patriarch of Chinese Zen Buddhism, was stationed in Xigu temple, where he preached to the fourth patriarch of Yi.

In 745 A.D., a pagoda was built for the statue of sangcan relic.

In 772 ad, Li Heng, Emperor suzong of Tang Dynasty, gave the tower the name of "Jueqi". In the valley and stream to the west of SANZU temple, there is a huge stone, which looks like the whole body of an ox, with clear lines on its head, back, abdomen and legs. Kneeling on the side of the stream, it is like drinking a clear spring, holding its head high and heading north, listening to the sound of the ancient temple bells and drums. The predecessors wrote "wonders of the world" here. On the north side of the cliff of Shiniu, there is a prominent platform, which is said to be the reading platform of Huang Tingjian, a famous scholar in Song Dynasty. On the southern side of the cliff opposite to this platform, there are also rocks protruding like eaves. The two cliffs are connected with each other, and vegetation fills the gap between them, forming a movable gate that is not the entrance of the cave. It is known as Shiniu ancient cave. This place is not only beautiful, but also famous for its dense, ancient and famous stone carvings.

Main attractions

Jingjiaqiao

One kilometer east of SANZU temple. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was on a tour to the south, he turned his boat from the Yangtze River to the Qianhe river at the foot of Tianzhu, where he gave up his boat to climb baihegang and set up an altar to seal the mountain. Later generations called this bridge "Jingjia bridge".

Sacrificial platform

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an altar to worship Tianzhu Mountain as the place of "Nanyue". Later, many emperors sent envoys here to worship Tianzhu Mountain.

Yingmengjing

It is said that during the Tianbao reign of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming emperor once sleepwalked here. When he got up in the morning, he asked people to write it down. He made Wang yuebin look for it four times according to the dream. Sure enough, he found it here, so the Tang emperor named it "yingmengjing". Although the well is located on the high hill, it does not dry up. If the diving water is clear, the well water will be clear. If the diving water is muddy, the well water will be muddy. When Wang yuebin came to the well to offer a sacrifice, he wrote a poem about it: "before the day is over, visitors are wandering here. Who asked the old man in front of the rock that he had entrusted my emperor with a dream? "

Zhuo Xijing

It is located behind the SANZU temple. It is said that master Baozhi, the founder of SANZU temple, fought with Taoist Baihe, Zhuo Xi (in Buddhist terms, Zhuo: Li; Xi: monk's staff). The monks lived in a place called "zhuoxi" (zhuoxi well) and won this precious place to build a Buddhist temple. Where the temple was built, a clear spring immediately gushed out, which was called "zhuoxi well".

The tomb of the martyrs

Tomb of the Kuomintang Anti Japanese Martyrs: on the campus of yezhai middle school. It is a cultural relic protection unit at the county level.

In 1942, the villagers and gentry of 13 counties in Anhui and Hubei donated money to commemorate the Anti Japanese soldiers of the 176th division of the Kuomintang army.

Main buildings

A tomb of soldiers. 985 cans of the remains of the martyrs were placed in the tomb. The tomb is inlaid with the national emblem of the Republic of China. There are tombstones in front of it, seven of which are engraved with the names of the soldiers killed in the battle. A stone lion stands on both sides of the tomb, surrounded by white marble railings, and stone steps are laid in front of the tomb.

A martyr's temple. In the temple, there are the spirit cards of the four sacrificial commanders. There are woodcut couplets on the red lacquer columns all around, one of which is "the leader of the negative crossbow effect, who died in the blue blood and yellow sand; the remains are the head of the hill, with green mountains and white bones for thousands of years", written by Su Zuxin, commander of the 48th army of the Kuomintang.

A memorial tower. On the inscription for Bai Chongxi: "the memorial tower of the 176th Army division."

Three pavilions. Haoran Pavilion, Guangyue Pavilion, peerless Pavilion.

In memory of the Anti Japanese heroes and in order to manage the cemetery well, the "cemetery preparation committee" also set up the "private Jingzhong middle school in Anhui Province" here to "cultivate martyrs' families and local outstanding youth". Fan Yuansheng, the inspector general of Anqing, the first district of Anhui Province of the Kuomintang, was the chairman of the "board of directors". He hired Mr. Wu Yifeng, a famous scholar of Tianzhu, as the teaching director. He also purchased 400 mu of school land and opened five shops for the maintenance of cemeteries and school teaching. Later, Jingzhong middle school was gradually changed into yezhai middle school. Because the 176th division of the Kuomintang is also a new anti Communist force and other reasons, the tombs of the martyrs were in disrepair for many years after liberation, especially in the cultural revolution, which was seriously damaged. The base of the tomb is still there, and the remains of the monument have been properly preserved.

On the West Shiniu river of SANZU temple. On the large stone like Niumian, there are stone inscriptions such as "wonders of the world" and "Shiniu" inscribed by Hu zuanzong, governor of Anqing in the early Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Tingjian, a poet of the Song Dynasty, once rode this "cow" to study, and Li Gonglin, the first painter of the Song Dynasty, once drew a picture of "leaning on the cow to study" for him. Although "Niutou" was destroyed in the Republic of China, and "Niubei" and "Niupeng" were damaged in the Cultural Revolution by local mountain people's blasting stones to repair "Dazhai field", the shape of "Niu" still exists, and the state of "Niu" still exists.

The original pavilion was destroyed early, but now it is new and not in the original site.

Shenggu Wenqian

Next to the stone road in SANZU temple, there is a small stone block with four characters of "Shenggu Wenqian" engraved on it. There is a folk legend about "Shenggu Wenqian", which persuades people to be content to be greedy. It is also understood that "Shenggu Wenqian" means that when Buddhism persuades people to do good deeds and help the poor, there is no shortage of one Wenqian and one Shenggu. Later, some people speculated that this stone block might be a tenon left after the destruction of a "Wangyue" stele erected by Emperor Hu zuanzong of the Ming Dynasty.
