Wang Xiangyan

Wang Xiangyan

Wangxiangyan is one of the main scenic spots in Taihang Grand Canyon. It is located in Shibanyan Town, Linzhou City, Anyang City, Henan Province. Why did Wang Xiangyan get his name? It is said that more than 3300 years ago, that is, in the 11th century BC, King Wuding of the Shang Dynasty and the slave Prime Minister Fu said that they both lived here. The place where the king Prime Minister lived is called Wang Xiangyan.

legend

It is said that Wuding, the 22nd king of the Shang Dynasty, was sent by his father Xiaoyi to linwushan in the west of the Shang capital to live with civilian slaves when he was young. Living in the lower class, Wuding learned farming and labor skills, developed simple living habits, and soon made friends with Fu Shuo. Fu Shuo thinks that although Wu Ding is the son of the king of Shang, he is not as arrogant as the nobility and can get along with the common people equally. He appreciates Wu Ding very much. However, Wu Ding thinks that Fu Shuo is very talented, but unfortunately he is a slave and no one can reuse him.

After Wu Ding succeeded to the throne, he wanted to use fu Shuo, but Fu Shuo was a slave and could not persuade the officials. So he thought hard and worked out a clever plan to use people's superstitious psychology to perform a pantomime that shocked civil and military officials. One day, Wuding said to the ministers, "I became king. I hope someone with great talent and virtue can help me govern the country. Please recommend me. "The ministers talked and counted the names of the princes and nobles one by one. Wu Ding always shook his head and sighed and suddenly fainted. After a while of rescue, he slowly woke up, but did not say a word. In this way, Wuding had been sleeping in the palace for three years. Three years later, one day when the ministers were discussing business, Wu Ding burst into laughter, and everyone was shocked. Wuding said that there was hope in our Dynasty. I dreamed of the former king. He recommended a great sage named Fu Shuo to me. He said that he would help me to govern the country well. The ministers believed it and immediately followed the direction Wu Ding pointed out. Finally, they found Fu Shuo in Lin filter mountain and took him to the palace of the Shang capital.

Seeing Fu, Wu Ding was overjoyed and nodded. So he quickly asked Fu Shuo to change his court clothes, worship him as prime minister, and let the ministers call him "dream father". After taking office as prime minister, Fu Shuo did his best to help Wu Ding manage the government in an orderly way, making the Shang Dynasty achieve unprecedented development. In history, it was called "Wu Ding Zhong Xing".

Original name

In memory of them, people called the cave where they lived Wang Xiangyan, and built a statue of Fu Shuo here. The thousand year old stone oak on the top of the cliff is called Wang Xiangshu.

Not only Fu Shuo, the slave Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty, but also Xia Fu, a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhao Dexiu, a Taoist in the Ming Dynasty, and Xu Sanli, the right servant of the governor of the Ministry of war in the Qing Dynasty lived here. Why do these ancient celebrities and scholars like this place? Because the landscape here is so beautiful.

Here, the waterfall is high, the forest is covered, the environment is elegant and intoxicating. Therefore, it attracted many dignitaries to visit and live in seclusion. The bridge we passed is called danghun bridge. Danghun bridge is a suspension bridge with iron cables. It is simple and novel, with dangerous architecture and unique design. The bridge is 50 meters long, 2 meters wide and 8 meters high, with 666 rafters as bridge slabs. When crossing the bridge, it's rickety and trembling. It's interesting to watch the distant mountains and near water on the bridge. Especially in the flood season, the water of wangxiangyan waterfall poured from the mountain stream, impacting the rocks at the bottom of the river, splashing three or four meters high waves, making the sound of running water deafening.

This place is called Huzui. The local people are not afraid of difficulties and dangers. They tie ropes around their waists all day, drill holes, and insert iron into the base. Although there are railings, but the cliffs of the suspended plank road still can't help but make you tremble, like falling into the abyss.

Here, I would like to remind you that all friends suffering from heart disease, hypertension and acrophobia, please stay and take the mountain road instead to ensure safety;

We came to Xiaxing cave. According to legend, when Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty Liu Zhi was in power, the state was corrupt. Xia Fu, Li Tang and Chen fan, the famous scholars in the dynasty, conspired to eliminate adultery in order to prosper the Han Dynasty. Later, they failed because of divulging secrets and were falsely accused by treacherous officials. Li and Chen were killed and ordered to kill Xia Fu's family. Xia Fu took off his coat, cut his beard and hair, fled, hid in the cave and made a living by burning charcoal for the iron smelting family. Later generations do not know Xia Fu's name and official position, only know that he is an official in the court. It was not until the first year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1522 A.D.) that Zhao Dexiu, a Taoist in Feixiang, Henan Province, traveled around the world and searched for Wang Xiangyan from Mount Emei. He built temples and pavilions, alchemy and self-cultivation, and built an overpass in the air. He dug out a pottery from the earth with the names of Xia Fu and his five hermits on it.

Yanqian Yuhuangge Temple foundation, for the ancient hanging stone nine arch bridge. The bridge, 50 meters wide, was built to expand the foundation of the temple and avoid pedestrians crossing the valley. More than 100 meters deep in the broken ravine, the stone is like a bullfight, and the building is magnificent. When you enter the cave under the bridge, you will be shocked to see the deep stream; when you look at the vault, you will be amazed to see the stone in the air, praising the ingenuity of the ancients.

Yuhuangge was built on the mountain. It has five spines and six beasts. It is delicate and exquisite. It is capped with golden glazed tiles. The Jade Emperor is shaped in the pavilion. The immortals of different manners are arranged on both sides, with the curling of cigarettes and the sound of green bells.

There is a stalactite in the immortal cave, which is shaped like a turtle. It is said that in ancient times there lived a turtle. Fu said that Zeng Bufeng asked the turtle to know the world. Fu said that after returning to heaven, the turtle turned into a huge stone.

The mountains here are undulating, the peaks are different, the forest is deep and the valley is quiet, and the sound of the waves is faint. It's really wonderful and beautiful. Wang Xiangyan, the "soul of Taihang", faces the stream in the East and the cliff in the West. Surrounded by the cliffs on the left and right sides, Wang Xiangyan forms a closed Valley to meet the Zhuque peak, which is close to the ideal model of "zuoqinglong, youbaihu, qianzhuque, houxuanwu" in ancient Chinese geomantic omen. It has attracted the famous people of all ages to come here for self-cultivation and seclusion.

Wu Ding, king of the Shang Dynasty, and Fu Shuo, Prime Minister of slave origin, lived here; Xia Fu, a famous scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, once lived in seclusion here because of the disaster of Party imprisonment; Zhao Dexiu, a Taoist of Hebei Province in the Ming Dynasty, once cultivated himself here and lived in the mountains; Xu Sanli, a right servant of the Ministry of war in the Qing Dynasty, once built a villa here to spend his later years. Therefore, Wang Xiangyan also changed his name many times. It was called "Baoquan rock" in ancient times, "Wangxiang rock" in Yin and Shang Dynasties, "hermit rock" in Eastern Han Dynasty, "Laodao rock" in Ming Dynasty, "summer rock" in Qing Dynasty.

Wang Xiangyan has a deep and dangerous valley, steep mountains, beautiful hidden in the male, ingenious in the simple, and magnificent momentum. The geological bedding of the cliff is obvious. At the bottom of the pedestrian Valley, the male rocks stand on the wall, which is dangerous and unattainable. At the turning point of the peak, in the green bush, the dangerous path suddenly appears. On the way to the mountain, there are strange peaks, waterfalls and forests. Deep in the white clouds, the rustic farmhouse suddenly appears, which makes people feel isolated. Wangxiangyan has luxuriant vegetation, and the mountains are full of rare things. Quercus variabilis, Quercus liaotungensis, Quercus acutissima and huanghuamu are all over the valleys. In the boundless jungle, there are Forsythia suspensa, Polygonum multiflorum, Yuanhu, bupleurum, Ganoderma lucidum and other Chinese herbal medicines. Polygonum multiflorum growing on the precipice of the gorge grows as big as corn grains every year, and the fist sized one grows for more than 200 years. Some Ganoderma lucidum growing on the roots of withered trees in the humid mountain area of wangxiangyan has grown for more than 1000 years. The lush vegetation is the king facies rock

In spring, the mountain flowers are blooming and fragrant; in summer, the forest is flowing green, just like the ocean waves; in autumn, the mountains are full of red leaves and the fruits are fragrant; in winter, the waterfalls become ice and the forest is snowy.

Most of the literati in the past dynasties are comparable with the Shaoshi of Songshan, Penglai of Donghai, Emei of Sichuan, and the peaks of the Three Gorges. They have the reputation of "beautiful as Emei, majestic as Daizong", "Penghu langyuan" and "the victory of the Three Gorges of Emei". Modern tourism experts and scholars call them "the soul of Taihang" for the majesty of Wang Xiangyan, the beauty of Wang Xiangjiu, the adventure of Mountaineering Road, and the wonder of mountain landscape.

Shibanyan Town, located on the west side of the main peak of Linwu mountain, is 25 kilometers away from Linzhou city. Here, towering peaks and cliffs, flying springs and waterfalls, green flowers and trees, elegant scenery, is known as the "soul of Taihang" by Chinese and foreign tourists.

Standing at the mouth of Wang Xiangkou and looking east, the first beautiful mountain is called zhuquefeng. The big red boulder above is zhuquefeng. Under the sunlight, it twinkles with dazzling red light, just like a peacock. Turning around and looking back, the mountain peak on the left looks like a green dragon. It looks like a tiger roaring with its head raised. Geographers call this place "zuoqinglong, youbaihu, qianzhuque, houxuanwu",
