brief introduction

As for the origin of the name of father and son mountain, we have to start from the woman who looks out. It is said that a long time ago, at the foot of the mountain lived a couple who made a living by collecting firewood. The couple were overjoyed to have a son in their middle age and named guier. In the twinkling of an eye, your son is seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful eyes, round waist and thick neck. The old couple want to have grandchildren and secretly talk to your son about matchmaking. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected situation. Just when the two elders were working in secret, the old woman got a strange disease. First, her feet were swollen, then she was paralyzed and bedridden. In less than a year, all the savings of the family were used up for the treatment of the old woman. Now, don't mention to your son, even if you can lift the lid, it's also a pleasure. No matter it's a local method or a convenient prescription, we've tried all the things we should try, but the old woman's illness is still not getting any better. The old man teared his face secretly, and your son was worried all day. Just when the old man lost his confidence, a doctor came to the foot of the mountain and saw the old woman's illness. He said with confidence, "it's not difficult to cure this disease, but it's hard to find a medicine." The doctor stopped in the middle of his speech, looked at the old man with mysterious eyes, and said, "now, it depends on whether you have the determination to treat the disease?" The old man snatched the doctor's words: "as long as I can cure my wife's disease, I will not hesitate to go up the mountain and down the sea of fire!" "If you have this determination, you won't be afraid that the disease will not be cured!" The doctor said with a smile. The medicine that the doctor said is called deep grass. It grows in the deep cave and never sees sunshine all the year round. According to the doctor's judgment, only a deep cave on the opposite top of the mountain has this grass. As long as you gather deep grass, the woman's illness will be saved. The doctor also said that he had been here for many days, just wanted to pick deep grass from the cave. However, the cave was so deep and unpredictable that it was impossible to go down, so I gave up for the time being. It has been settled here for generations, but the old man has never heard of anyone entering the cave. On a hot day, I gather firewood on the top of the mountain and rest by the side of the cave. I only feel a cool air coming from the cave. In a moment, the sweat on my body is gone. Some people have thrown stones into the cave, only to hear a string of sound continuously from the cave, but there is no bottom. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, the old man should also make 100% efforts. Thanks to the doctor. After lunch, the old man left. Your son followed him, saying that he had a care. It's a hard journey, needless to say. At the entrance of the cave, your son wants to go down. This time, the old man won't let him do anything. He orders your son to say, "my father may be in danger once he's gone. If you can't get up, you'd better turn back quickly so that you can have a son-in-law." Your son nodded tearfully. The old man wore a firewood knife around his waist, a cloth to protect his knees, a cover in his hand, and went down to the cave as light as a swallow. At first, the old man climbed the cave wall with his hands and stepped on the eyelet to go down smoothly. But later, you can no longer hear the sound in the cave. No matter how loud your son screams, you just can't hear the old man's response. He is eager to save his father. He forgot his advice when he went down the cave. He went down the cave and tried to save his father. Unexpectedly, he never came up again. As it was getting dark, the old woman did not see the father and son come back and called to the neighborhood. When the neighbors came to the cave entrance, they really saw the traces left by people along the four walls of the cave entrance. However, the cave is deep and the neighbors are lamenting, so they have no choice but to return. Live to see a man, die to see a corpse. One day, two relatives were lost. The woman couldn't bear such a blow. When the neighbors dispersed, she rolled out of bed and used all her strength to climb to the opposite top of the mountain. It's hard to imagine how a paralyzed patient can climb to the top of the mountain. Maybe it was too much grief. Facing the unfathomable hole, the old woman only called out, "my husband, my son!" Then he died. A few days later, when the neighbors came, the old woman had turned into a mountain and stood on the top of the mountain, looking south, hoping that the man would return early. In order to save his father, his son sacrificed his life regardless of his own safety. The filial piety of his son moved the local people. In order to pass on the fine tradition of respecting the elderly and filial piety from generation to generation, the local people named this highest mountain father son mountain.

Father son mountain Tiankeng

When it comes to Tiankeng, people will think of Wulong Tiankeng in Chongqing and Leye Tiankeng in Guangxi. In fact, Yangxin father and son mountain, which is only 100 kilometers away from Wuhan, has a "hidden" and unfathomable Tiankeng. It is said that the rainwater flowing into Tiankeng can reach Daye lake more than ten miles away through Guifei cave at the foot of the mountain.

Not long ago, 11 donkeys from Wuhan went to Yangxin to play together. Looking down from the northeast of the main peak of father son mountain, a green grass bush which is obviously different from the surrounding yellow meadow attracted the attention of the team members. Approaching, the team members were amazed by the scene in front of them: a huge Tiankeng appeared in the background of a vibrant green grass. "Its funnel-shaped crater is as big as two basketball courts."

According to "Kongkong", a member of the team untied the 50 meter climbing rope and went down to the cave more than 10 meters deep, but still couldn't see the bottom. For the sake of safety, they had to give up.

According to the guide who led the way, the vertical depth of the Tiankeng was estimated to be several hundred meters. A good man once put a large amount of dyed wheat bran into the Tiankeng on rainy days. As a result, a few days later, it flowed out from the mountain stream a few miles away and reached Daye lake more than ten miles away. Professor Xu Shiqiu, Deputy Secretary General of Geological Museum Professional Committee of Chinese Museum Society, believes that there may be special organisms in the Tiankeng, which has certain exploration value.

Father son mountain - karst cave

On the way down the mountain, we found this cave. The local people call it the steam cave. The steam cave is very deep. I threw a big stone down. After 10 seconds, you can still hear the sound of "Dong", "Dong" and "Dong"!

There is also a steam hole a few meters wide, but no one has ever gone down. If such a big steam hole was born in Europe, there would be people exploring it.

Father son mountain - Princess cave

Legend of Princess cave

Where does "Princess cave" come from? According to reports, in the first year of Huanglong in the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan was the emperor. He learned that Yangxin County in Wuchang county was flooded with floods and starved to death, so he went to Yangxin to provide relief. In order to be grateful, the local squire decided to choose a beautiful woman to send to Sun Quan as his concubine, and finally chose Wang Guihua, a beautiful girl from the village of broken stone under the mountain. Wang Guihua is not only beautiful, but also virtuous and intelligent. When Sun Quan saw her, she immediately named Miss Wang as her concubine, and changed the name of "Po Shi Tu" to "Yi Chang", which means to benefit forever and prosper from generation to generation. The next year, Wang guipin gave birth to a son named sun he. Sun Quan was very happy and wrote an imperial edict to make Wang guipin his concubine. He also gave a father son mountain at the back of Yichang village to her family, and explicitly ordered that no one should go into the mountain to cut firewood or hunt, so the local people regarded it as "official mountain".

In the third year of chiwu (A.D. 240), a plague broke out in the hometown of Wang Guifei. Everyone suffered from abdominal discharge and body sores. Sun Quan sent sun Deng, the crown prince, to take people to the epidemic area to relieve the disaster. Unexpectedly, the crown prince also contracted the disease. When the news reached the Wu palace, the minister and the imperial physician were at a loss. When the princess heard about it, she quickly went back to her hometown and ordered someone to take the prince to the Shiyin cave on Houfu and Zishan in Yichang village. Every day, she took local tofu as her staple food, drank the spring water in the cave, and smeared mud on her body. Within a few days, the prince's abdominal discharge stopped and the sores disappeared. The prince was so happy that he ordered thousands of victims to go into the cave to drink water, wipe mud and eat tofu. Within a month, they were all well. "Prince tofu" and "shiyindong" have been well-known since then.

In the 13th year of chiwu, because of the jealousy and rejection of the other six ladies, the princess went back to her hometown of Yichang, where she lived in shiyindong, where she cut her hair and became a nun. She spent all her life with qingdeng, chanting sutras and praising Buddhism. In the seventh year of Yong'an (AD 242), SUN Hao, the grandson of the princess, ascended the throne of the fourth generation monarch of the eastern Wu Dynasty. Thinking of his grandmother, he sent a large group of people to Yichang village to welcome her back to the palace. During the reign of SUN Hao, she was tyrannical, extravagant, immoral and unpopular, which made her very disappointed. She did not want to be with SUN Hao and refused to go back to the palace. As a result, Princess Wang hid deep in the cave, and there were no people in the palace. Helpless, the palace people went down to the cave to look for, but the soldiers took torches into the cave to look for three days and three nights, only to see
