brief introduction

Liandan lake, located in liangyaoping, is the third largest mountain Pinghu in China. Sometimes, the lake is as flat as a mirror, and the blue sky reflects the bottom of the lake.

Liandan Lake

A high mountain lake hidden in Tianzhu Mountain, Anhui Province, is comparable to Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain!

It is well known that Tianzhu has beautiful peaks and different rocks, but it is not known that the water of ancient South Mountains is also strange, among which Liandan lake is the most prominent. It is said that Zuo Ci, a famous Taoist scholar in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, used to collect herbs and make pills here. The room and furnace where Zuo CI lived are still there. The "Danzao cangyan" in the ten sceneries of Qianyang refers to the lake. If it is cloudy in the morning or after rain, it is like a fairyland.

In the north, there is a cliff with towering rocks, lying like a unicorn. Beside the cliff, there is a cave with a Bagua stone platform in front of it. It is said that it was the place where Zuo CI made alchemy in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The "Danzao cangyan" in the "Qianyang Shijing" is in this area. Liandan lake, with a water surface area of 34 mu, a water storage capacity of 80000 cubic meters, a dam height of 13 meters and an altitude of 1100 meters, is comparable to Tianchi in Tianshan Mountain and Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. Its water quality is clear, green as jade, surrounded by mountains, the environment is elegant, sunny and windless, the lake is like a mirror, blue sky and white clouds, reflected in it; the surrounding peaks, green cliffs and pine reflection, such as brocade and weaving, add vitality to the calm water; the breeze slowly comes, the lake rippling, sparkling, it is a scene, boating on it, like entering the yaochi.

Under the calm water surface of the "alchemy Lake", before the lake was built, it was called "liangyaoping" or "shangliandan". The name of "alchemy Lake" comes from the fact that Zuo Ci, a Taoist priest in the Han Dynasty, used to collect herbs and refine pills here. The "alchemy room" where Zuo CI lived and the "alchemy platform" where he started alchemy are still there.

In the "alchemy platform", you can see the peaks in Xiguan. They are flying like falling, the moon is like tin, the pearl is about to fall, and the sky is like falling

He is not only the first generation alchemist in China, but also a famous magician. The ancient trick of fishing was created by him and passed on to later generations.

Zuo Ci

Zuo Ci, with the character Yuanfang, was a founder of the Han Dynasty. He was born in Lujiang in ancient times. There are dantai, Danchi and danfang in the area of today's Zhushan liangyaoping. It is said that he was thinking about alchemy in Lianhua cave, and suddenly he got the book of nine elixirs. According to the method of alchemy written in the book, he prepared the medicinal materials and built Laojun stove. He burned 7749 days' fire in the stone Hall's Alchemy room, and got several golden pills. After taking them, he suddenly became an immortal. He can turn stone into gold and is praised as a living immortal by local people.. Although Zuo Ci was made up by later generations to become an immortal, his alchemy and changing skills are true. Ge Hong, a representative of Taoism in Jin Dynasty, said: "Yu Xi received five volumes of Jiudan and jinyinye Jing from Zheng Gong. Zheng junri: he and Zuojun tried it in Huoshan of Lujiang River, and they were all successful. " It shows that Gehong's Alchemy originated from Zuo Ci and Zheng Jun. According to Zuo Ci's biography in the book of the later Han Dynasty, "Cao Cao's banquet guests lacked Songjiang perch. Zuo CI took a copper plate to store water and fished a perch out of the plate with a bamboo pole. Cao Cao said that one tail is not enough. Zuo CI sank his hook again and fished out a big bass over a foot long. Cao Cao said that with fish, there is no ginger seasoning in Sichuan. The sleeves of Zuo Ci's robe changed into a plate of ginger. In addition, chapter 68 of the romance of the three kingdoms also has a wonderful description of Zuo Ci's magic, saying that he can not only fish on copper plates, but also draw dragons to get liver and spray water to blossom. As a matter of fact, Zuo Ci's magic is just to use some physical and chemical changes and quick witted methods to hide people's eyes and ears. However, in the Eastern Han Dynasty more than 1700 years ago, these phenomena were difficult for people to understand, so there were all kinds of myths and legends. Five miles to the northwest from Zhenyuan palace, you can see the xialian terrace surrounded by forests and mountains, fertile fields and clear streams. In addition, the scenery is beautiful. Besides zuoci alchemy pool, there are Lianggong spring, Feilong spring, spray snow waterfall and shuilian cave for you to enjoy. From the lower Alchemy to the upper three or four Li, Shiya hundred level is the middle alchemy, the old alchemy platform still exists. According to the county annals, peach is produced here with colorful flowers and edible fruits, also known as Taoyuan. From mazu'an to liangyaoping is the upper alchemy, which is the same place as the middle and lower alchemy. There is a peak in the south, the Tianshu peak in myth and legend. At the foot of the peak, there is a big stone grotesque, in which there is a stone chamber, namely lotus cave, which is zuoci's Alchemy room. Before and after the stone chamber, the pines are creeping, and the flowers are blooming. They pass through the thunderbolt stone cave and cross the valley to the monk's tower. The cave is a popular resort in the middle of the mountain. The people here say that the perch caused by Zuo Ci's changes is not in the Wanggong fish pond, but in today's perch stream. It is said that Cao Cao went down to Wu and passed by Tianzhu. He heard that Zuo CI had divine skills, so he invited him down to the mountain for dinner. During the banquet, Zuo CI performed some magic tricks for Cao Cao, such as water spraying, flower offering, copper basin fishing and so on. This fish comes from the perch stream near Wutang. According to Qianshan County annals, "perch stream is in Wutang, north of the county. When Emperor Wu of Wei marched to dive, he suddenly thought about the perch. Zuo CI fished on a copper plate and got ten of them. When Emperor Wu explained that they were half in the river, they were in the late spring. Today, only when catkins fly, it is called mandarin fish. "
