Little Penglai

Little Penglai

Sanshan island is a small island in Taihu Lake with an area of only 2.8 square kilometers. Small as the island is, it is extraordinary. Here, archaeologists found Paleolithic and vertebrate fossils 12000 years ago, which are called Sanshan culture, proving that Taihu Lake Basin is also the birthplace of the Chinese nation; Sanshan island is one of the original places of Taihu Lake, and the Huashi class site reminds people of Liangshan heroes who outwitted the shengchen class.

Sanshan island is three kilometers away from Dongshan and Xishan. It's really pleasant to take a boat and sail at high speed on the vast lake. It's quite surprising to get on Sanshan island. The island is only a few tens of meters above sea level, but it is full of unusual peaks and rocks. The natural sphinx has a deep vision, gazing at Taihu Lake. Compared with the Egyptian Sphinx, it is more rugged and majestic; Banbi peak can also be called a strange one; what's more remarkable is the stone called "four generations together". There are four kinds of rocks with different geological ages on one stone. The grayish brown one is the late Devonian lithic quartz formed 360 million years ago Sandstone, argillaceous siltstone, light gray is the Late Carboniferous limestone 280 million years ago, maroon is the volcanic breccia 80 million years ago, white translucent crystal is the calcite vein about 40 million years ago. This stone records the geological change of Sanshan island from land subsidence to shallow sea and then volcanic eruption.

Sanshan island not only has charming scenery of Lake Island, but also has abundant fruits and melons all year round. The tourism industry of Sanshan island has also begun to heat up. The island with only 600 people has an annual tourism income of more than 10 million yuan.

Luzu Temple: a 400 year old "little Penglai"

(people's daily, September 10, 2010, 13:32)

Yuanjiashan, also known as "luzu Temple" and "xiaopenglai", is located in the middle of Yuanshan road in suixian County of Shangqiu City. It was first built in 1621-1627, with a history of nearly 400 years. It was built by Yuan Keli, Minister of the Ministry of war in the late Ming Dynasty.

From a distance, the whole yuanjiashan building group looks like a warship. The main hall close to the gate is the bow of the ship. The passage at the back of the main hall is connected with the deep hole, which symbolizes the boat warehouse. The eight immortals Pavilion at the back is like a mast. Under the Pavilion, there is a statue of LV Dongbin. The mountains are surrounded by lakes, which means the sea. From a distance, it looks like a warship rippling in the sea. The whole architectural layout is ingenious, and the architectural style is novel and unique, which is rare in China.

Why did yuan Ke build luzu temple? And layout the whole building into a ship? This also starts from Yuan Keli's experience. Yuan Keli was named Li Qing. In the 17th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1589), he was a Jinshi, an official and a minister of the Ministry of war. He had three ups and downs because he dared to speak out and enforce the law fairly. One of them, when he was a censor, he visited the western city of Kyoto. He happened to be killed by a eunuch. He was whipped and punished severely. The emperor ordered a pardon, but he still maintained his original sentence. The emperor was angry and deprived of his salary for one year. Soon he was demoted and returned to his hometown. In 1620 ad, Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne, and the coastal areas were repeatedly invaded. The Japanese invaders occupied the Ryukyu Islands. Yuan Keli was re used and ordered to lead troops to punish the Japanese invaders. During the battle, when the ship was at sea, a strong wind suddenly arose and the evil waves emptied, which was likely to overturn the ship. Yuan Keli was terrified, so he prayed for God's blessing and made a wish to build a temple for worship. It seems that LV Dongbin appeared in front of his eyes, and then it was calm. After climbing Ryukyu, he led his troops to fight bravely, drove away the Japanese pirates, returned triumphantly, promoted to Shi Lang of the Ministry of war, and then added the Minister of the Ministry of war. After returning to Li after leaving the imperial court, he believed that he could return safely because of the help of Lu Zu, so he built Lu Zu temple on his homestead. The buildings on the mountain include Mountain Gate, main hall, Lvxian cave, moon watching platform, pavilion, east-west wing room, etc. After the completion of luzu temple, Yuan Keli often went to the temple to worship LV Dongbin. Because the site of the temple was built on a high earthen platform, at that time, the city was surrounded by low tile roofed houses, and the unique place was like a high mountain, so later generations used to call it yuanjiashan.

Xiao Penglai: historical records: "there are three gods mountain in the sea, named Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, where the immortal lives." It's in the middle of the pool, so it's named after it. The two sides are connected by curved bridges, and the pavilion type Wisteria trellis is erected above. Here is Huangshi, engraved with the word "Xiao Penglai", which is a new topic after liberation. According to the textual research, it refers to the present western earth mountain.

One peak is gentle, the sand is green, the clouds are even, and the sea color is low.
