brief introduction

Wang Guangu

Wangguangu is located at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, more than 40 miles east of Yongji City, with a scenic area of 10 square kilometers. With deep valleys, steep peaks, strange rocks, beautiful Springs and beautiful streams, it is a famous tourist attraction in Yuncheng.

According to the records, Sikong Tu, a famous poet and poeticist of Tang Dynasty, once lived in seclusion here and left many touching stories and relics for people to remember. Many literary masters before and after him, such as Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and Lu Lun, also traveled here.

There are steep mountains on both sides of wangguangu, and the trees on the mountains are thick and luxuriant. The Yi River in the valley is rushing down. The water blows against the rocks and gurgles. After Yixi came out of the valley, it scattered into the field and could be used for irrigation. In the past, villagers used to argue about irrigation. In order to solve the dispute over water, Sikong Tu established the water distribution law. He asked the mason to cut two equal holes in a big stone and stand in the water at the exit of Yixi River, dividing the water into two streams. The east stream flows into the East Canal, and the West stream flows into the West Canal to irrigate the farmland of the East and west villages respectively. And carved stone stele, clearly set the law of water, for future generations to keep not more. It is said that Sikong Tu went down into the water and was washed down by the torrent. A felt boot was washed to the Bank of Qinghua village and fell out. In memory of his merits, later generations also built a "Sikong Shilang Temple" where the felt boots fell. The temple was destroyed by the flood and remains.

Cultural origins

Wangguan scenic spot is a summer resort with excellent taste. Wei Yuan, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, praised Wang Guangu: "the sky is clear, the rain and the snow are three thousand Zhang, and the wind and cloud are twelve o'clock.".

Wangguangu is the ancestral home of Sikongtu. According to the records of Yuxiang County, there is a villa of its ancestors near the valley, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, springs and stone forest pavilions, green trees and unique scenery. When we look for its remains according to the records in the local records, it has long been lost in the changes of history. There is a stone path into the valley, winding through the mountains, which seems to have the feeling of "winding path leading to seclusion". In the valley, there are Tianzhu peak, Dongxi waterfall, Yixi Qingliu, Qifeng Zhulian, Mingjing Yingtian, Baier Panshan, XiuXiu Pavilion, Sanzhao hall and other natural scenic spots and ancient architectural relics.

Introduction to scenic spots

Wangguan Valley Scenic Spot

There are many scenic spots in the valley, including East West waterfall, juxianju, XiuXiu Pavilion, Shiquan bridge, biaosheng Yingtang, he Xiangu temple, Fenshui pool, etc. In the scenic area, the mountains are majestic, precipitous and beautiful; the peaks and rocks are various; the yellow sand cave is deep and unpredictable; the spring waterfall and the Pearl curtain are flying down, just like a hundred feet of plain training, and the stone cliff is spraying snow. At the foot of the mountain, Yan Jingming, who was the Prime Minister of Shaanxi Province in the late Qing Dynasty, built the "wangguan villa" (covering an area of more than 300 mu). It is a castle style building in the late Qing Dynasty. The lower part of the castle is a cave and the upper part is a courtyard, which is unique.

Tianzhu peak

Tianzhu peak is an independent and towering peak in wangguan valley. It is tall and straight and majestic, with grotesque stone scales, pines and cypresses hanging high between the cliffs. From afar, there are towering and magnificent rocks. There are two waterfalls on both sides of Tianzhu peak, about half a mile apart. Winter is like icicles hanging upside down, trickling a small stream; summer is flying straight down, as if the sky white training. The water stirs the rocks, and the white fog soars into the air. If you look closely, you will see everything in a flash. In the summer months, dozens of steps away, the air-conditioning hits people, stop to have a rest, suddenly feel cool and comfortable, relaxed and happy. The water of the two waterfalls merge into one in front of the peak to form a turbulent stream, which goes down the valley and is named "Yixi" by Sikongtu.

Xiu Xiu Pavilion

At the foot of Tianzhu peak, there is a pavilion of brick and wood structure, hidden in the pines and cypresses. Because of years of disrepair, there are only decaying walls. It is said that this pavilion was built by Sikongtu when he lived in seclusion. It was originally named "Zhuoying Pavilion" and later changed to "XiuXiu Pavilion". Guanying Pavilion is named after Qu Yuan's "the clear water of the Canglang River can wash my tassels; the turbid water of the Canglang River can wash my feet". Later, he changed his style to Xiuting, because he felt that his ambition in troubled times was hard to pay, so he had to live in seclusion in the mountains and woods, and live a quiet and natural hermit life. He lived in seclusion for more than 20 years in this secluded valley and forest. He was full of natural love for mountains, rocks, forests and springs, which prompted him to write a lot of poems and poetic theory "twenty four pieces of poetry", which had a great influence on later generations. He divided his poems into twenty-four styles, such as vigorous, diluted, delicate and calm. Each style described its artistic conception with a beautiful landscape poem. Such as "peach trees, windy days, waterfront, Willow Road Song, warblers next to each other"; "dew in the mountains, red apricots in the forest, bright moon in the house, painted bridge biyin"; "white clouds clear, secluded birds chase each other, sleeping in the shade of the piano. These poems are beautiful and moving, appropriate and profound in meaning, and are highly praised by the poetic theorists of the past dynasties. It has made outstanding contributions to the development of Chinese poetry theory. When he lived in seclusion here, he compared himself with Tao Yuanming, a poet of Jin Dynasty, "will take a pot of idle sun and moon, and go deep into Wuling river with long songs.". Wang Guangu was named "taoyuanbin" according to the allusions of "taohuayuanji". Wu Wen, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "when you come late, you can meet gulls and herons, and then you can reach the shore of Taoyuan.".

Sanzhao Hall

Wangguan Valley Scenic Spot

About 100 meters below XiuXiu Pavilion, there is "Sanzhao hall". Now there are only ruins, thickly shrubbery and green. After Zhu Quanzhong usurped power in the late Tang Dynasty, he had three times ordered Sikong Tu to serve as Minister of rites, but he refused. Later generations built this temple in memory of his noble character. There is a couplet beside the door of the original hall, which says: "all the ambitions are kept by the white clouds, and the ninth imperial edict is to teach Danfeng to fly here." It shows that Sikong Tu doesn't seek power, but lives a quiet life in the mountains.
