brief introduction

Jiangnan first pass is located in the east of Fuling Township, Jixi County, Anhui Province, with an altitude of 424 meters. It is an important pass of Huihang ancient road and the main channel of Qingliangfeng. Guanjiao Yankou Pavilion, the book "Jing Tong Jiang Zhe" Wei characters. Crossing the first bridge in the south of the Yangtze River and climbing up the pass from the west, the mountains are once steep and the strange rocks are rugged, among which Mopan stone, Tianguan stone, Jiangjun stone and Shunfan stone are the most strange. Peak rock, North and south, separated by ravines, Xiaoyao River meandering between them. The granite slab about 2 meters long is embedded in the North rock wall to form a plank road, and some stone strips are semi suspended in the air. A hole in the sky at the top is the gateway. From Yanjiao to now, there are more than 1400 classes. The newcomers were palpitating and dazzled. They walked slowly and did not dare to look down. A stream of rocks, such as animals, such as melons, stacked heavily. The stream water falls back and forth, whistling and whistling, sometimes trickling and flowing, sometimes rushing into a pool. The gate is made up of 4 large stone bars and natural rocks. The lintel is engraved with "the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River" in the West and "Shao Daotang's title built in the second year of Tongzhi" in the East. Although eroded by wind and rain, it is still impressive. On the east side of the pass is an arched stone pavilion built by the mountain, where passers-by can take shelter from the rain and rest. Along the entrance of the stone pavilion, there are inscriptions on precipices, which show people's mentality of leaping over the grand pass. After entering the pass, the stone path was slightly flattened and still hovered between the steep walls. Through this pass, you can really understand the charm of "the first pass in Jiangnan".

The first pass in Jiangnan got its name from Hu Zongxian, the Minister of the Ministry of war and a famous Anti Japanese official in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Hu Zongxian, the Minister of the Ministry of war of the Ming Dynasty, kept a black dog. This dog was Hu Zongxian's messenger. Every day, he ran between Anhui and Zhejiang with a letter from Hu Zongxian in his mouth. Black dogs never walk the familiar way, but travel between the jungle every day. The curious man followed the black dog and found that it was the closest and easiest way between Anhui and Zhejiang. So Hu Zongxian ordered people to follow the black dog and built an access road along the line, which is the ancient Huihang road. Hu Zongxian thought that this area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be called the most dangerous place, can be called the first, so named Jiangnan first pass.

Historical allusions

When the door is closed, the mountain wind is hunting, as if it is above the air. After entering the pass, the stone path was slightly flattened and still hovered between the steep walls. On the cliff beside the Shicha Pavilion in the east of Shaanxi Province, a small history of the ancient road is engraved: during the reign of song Baoyou (1253-1257), Hu Dan of the big stone gate chiseled stones along with the mountain to form a Deng, where there are more than five li to travel. In Dade period of Yuan Dynasty (1297-1307), the Cheng family of BEIXIANG (now Beicun) saw the deep danger, and then cut down the stone as a fence, which was blocked by the side, and the more peaceful they came and went. It was rebuilt by Wang Yimao et al. It has been repaired in successive dynasties. Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the villagers nearby have made a contract to organize maintenance. There is a "Ercheng" temple in the pass, which was built by Hu Guisen in Hujia village. It is said that in the spring of 1932, Cheng Zaoqi and Cheng Ruihu of Beicun went to Zhejiang to do business. They avoided hanging under the rocks and all the rocks collapsed, so they built a temple to express their sorrow and admonition. Later, Shao Zaibing invested to build the stone pavilion. The origin of the name of the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River: it is said that Li Shixian, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led the Ministry to pass the pass in 1861 and praised it as a natural danger, which was named after Hu Zongxian in the Ming Dynasty. The picture shows the foreground of the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River. On the front of a row of stones above the pass is written "the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River". Only by going through this pass can you really find out, or experience, the charm of the place "the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River".

Unique bridges and pavilions

The first pass in Jiangnan is located in Fuling village, Jixi County, 424 meters above sea level. It was an important pass on the ancient Huizhou road. There is a Yankou Pavilion at the foot of the pass. It is close to the mountain and by the water. The scenery is quiet. On the gate of the pavilion are written four characters in Wei style: "Jingtong Jiangzhe".

After going out of the pavilion, you can climb up the stairs. The peak rock faces north and south, with jagged rocks and precipitous cliffs. In the stone walls of the North rock, you can use manual chiseling to cut the crossbar and embed a 2-meter-long granite slab to build a plank road. The stone stack is like a ladder in the sky, stretching upward and straight into the depths of white clouds.

At the top of the ladder, there is a hole in the sky, which is the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River. From the foot of the pass to the top, there are 1400 stone steps. The danger of the pass can be seen here. In the east of the lintel is engraved "Huihang lock key" and in the west is engraved "Jiangnan first pass".

People stand at the pass, the wind kisses their ears, the distant mountains are like a ball, look back, the strange rocks are dense, look down, the Xiaoyao River roars among them, the sound of the water is like thunder, frightening.

On the first pass ancient road in the south of the Yangtze River, a stone arch bridge and three tea pavilions were built. Both pavilions and bridges deeply reflect the unique "Hui culture" of that time.

Bridge

In the late Qing Dynasty, a stone arch bridge (20 meters long and 10 meters high) was built in front of Yankou Pavilion by Mr. Zhou Hengshun of linglongkeng (Yuchuan). It was named "the first bridge in the south of the Yangtze River", commonly known as Yankou bridge. The two ends of the bridge are bridgeheads. Single span bridge, granite, exquisite design, magnificent momentum. The height and width of the arch are more than any local stone arch bridge at that time. It is said that after the completion of the bridge, the opening (completion) ceremony was as follows: a 30-year-old "Qiao" (Jixi people called grandfather "Qiao") was the first to cross the bridge. After the ceremony started, a 30-year-old "Joe" was about to cross the bridge with his grandson in his arms. At this time, a middle-aged man came from behind and cried: "wait, I'm coming! ”It turned out that he was 30 years old and helped his little grandson to cross the bridge... Unfortunately, the bridge and Yankou Pavilion were engulfed by the merciless flood on July 5, 1969. (the original logo of the first bridge in the south of the Yangtze River was retrieved from the rocks by Mr. Gao Mengfei, a native of Zhusanli, and the other one was retrieved by a dedicated person of Hongxi bridge, which was later embedded in Yongzhi's present bridge. In 1990, Hu quanbo, a native of Taiwan, helped the local government to rebuild Yankou's "Jiangnan first bridge" with 50000 yuan. In 1994-1995, Hu quanbo, Hu Guande, Wang Zhongmin, Shao Qiuren and Zhu Xiangxian raised more than 10000 yuan to rebuild Yankou Pavilion for travelers and tourists.

pavilion

From Guanjiao Yankou pavilion to huangmaopei, according to the layout of five li and one short Pavilion, three tea pavilions were built, namely: Yankou Pavilion, Shicha Pavilion and huangmaopei Yide Pavilion (all the three original pavilions have been destroyed). The tea pavilion is a place for pedestrians to drink tea and rest. Both the house and the ground are public property. People who live in tea booths only need to perform the duty of "serving tea". During the harvest season in the afternoon and autumn, the owner of the tea pavilion carries a long bag and goes door-to-door to the surrounding villages to "make ends meet". The common people can give alms of one or two liters or half a bucket of rice and wheat. In the tea pavilion, one or two pots of tea are burned every day, and five or six small "water pipes" made of bamboo and swallow are prepared for passers-by to drink. The three tea pavilions are all Hui style buildings. There are niches in the hall or side corridor for the pavilion owners and passers-by to worship. In particular, Yankou Pavilion, which is close to mountains and rivers, and integrates pavilions and bridges, has attractive scenery. The gate of the pavilion is divided into "Yankou Pavilion", "Jing Tong Jiang Zhe", "Jin Shan Dai Shui", "Lu Da Hui Ning" and "southeast dangerous", which are written in Wei Dynasty. They respectively indicate the path to pedestrians and the rugged mountain road, and remind pedestrians to be very careful. In the middle of the pavilion, Shi Cha pavilion has the function of demarcating the original Fuling Township and the original Xiaoyao township. On the east wall of the former Pavilion, there is also a road building monument.

The first pass in the south of the Yangtze River is called "Zhang (Jie) feng'ao". From the foot of the rock, there are more than 1400 stone steps. First time visitors, looking at the natural danger, are often palpitating and dazzled, afraid of falling into the abyss. At that time, the red guards of Zhejiang Province were passing by in groups. Although they were shouting "make up your mind, don't be afraid of sacrifice", their legs and stomachs were not obedient and trembled, so they had to walk slowly with their hands touching the wall. It is most appropriate to describe the scenery here as steep and beautiful.

The four big stone bars cross the natural rocks, forming a "mouth" shape to close the door. On the west facing lintel is engraved with the five big characters of "the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River". On the east facing lintel is engraved with "Huihang lock key". The signature is "built by people in the second year of Tongzhi, Shao Daotang's title". When you can close the door, there is an arched stone pavilion for pedestrians to shelter from the rain and rest. There is a small "Ercheng Temple" on the east side of the stone pavilion, which was built by Hu Guisen, a villager of Huangjia (Hu family, the natives call Huangjia village wangba Village). It records the story of Cheng Zaoqi and Cheng Ruihu, two people from Beicun, who went to Zhejiang to do business in the spring of 1932. They were caught in the rain here. They took shelter from the rain. Under the cliff, the cliff collapsed, and they both died. It warns future generations not to take shelter from the rain under dangerous rocks.

With the investment of Shao Zaibing, a native of Wenchuan (fulingxia), and the supervision of Hu Shangyan, a commonweal entrepreneur of Jixi, the magistrate of Xuancheng and Jingxian counties, and the representative of Hu Zhongwu's father from the National University of China, the stone pavilion was built beside the temple to commemorate forever.

Strange stone scenery

The craggy rocks are another feature of the first pass in the south of the Yangtze River. Among them, the famous Shijing are: Mopan stone, Tianguan stone, Jiangjun stone, propping (cutting) foot stone, Dishui stone, Xianjiang (Xianjiang) stone, liumilong stone and so on. They are all peak giant rocks, facing north and south, looking down to explore the stream. The water is blue, the sound is thunder, and the depth is unpredictable. Every stone scene is full of imagination and endless aftertaste
