The origin of mountain name

Thirty miles to the west of longzhouping in Changyang County, there is a forest of stones, either lined up, or scattered, or standing alone. There are various kinds of stone peaks, some of which are towering like a sword, some of which are graceful like a girl's affectionate feelings, some of which are like a general's clothes, some of which are like Guanyin arhat, ancient Buddhist monks and nuns, some of which are like Golden Snake, jade python, birds and animals, etc. among them, the largest and most famous one is not only enclosed in this stone forest, but also floating on it. At the top of the mountain is a high mountain plain with an area of 200 mu, surrounded by cliffs and steep cliffs, with a thousand feet of clear rock cutting like knives and axes. There is no other path except a path between the East and the West. Because it is a square stone mountain, it is named Fangshan. Yang Zhenggang, a scholar of Changyang in Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem "the top of Fangshan Mountain", which said that he controlled the northwest independently and the bird path entered the cloud plate. This shows that it is high and dangerous. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, Changyang County was named Fangshan County, which originated from this.

Historical legend of Fangshan

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the peasant leaders Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong failed in the uprising, Wang en withdrew from Changyang and stationed troops in Fangshan, which was known as the king of Xiaoqin. Therefore, Fangshan was also known as Xiaoqin village. In the year of Qianlong, xiaoqinzhai collapsed and produced more than 200 pieces of gold, each of which weighs about one or two. One is engraved with the word "nine princesses" and the other is engraved with the word "ten gold". The picture can be clearly recognized. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Peng qiutan, a Juren from Changyang, once saw it with his own eyes and wrote a poem about bamboo branches

Xiaoqin village is located in Fangshan Mountain, with deep wind caves. No one can understand the spirit of the mountain. In the barren years, he was given ten gold.

The place where the mountain collapses is also called Golden Bay. Why did so much gold break out? What happened to "nine princesses"? It was Wang en who continued the story. After Wang en retreated from Changyang and stationed his troops in Fangshan, he thought that he could occupy the mountain as the king. Unexpectedly, he met his enemy. The enemy was Zhu Yi, who was appointed king an by the imperial court in the late Ming Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty was annihilated by the Qing Dynasty, anwang with hundreds of people and horses set up camp along touxi in the northwest of Xiaoqin village, which is now known as anwang mountain. King an built a city and built a fortress here, which is now the wall weir. Xiaoqin village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. King an always wanted to capture Xiaoqin village, so he sent troops to encircle Xiaoqin village and tried to trap Xiaoqin's people and horses in the village. Xiaoqin broke through several times and failed. So the king of Qin had a plan in his heart. He ordered his subordinates to fry the remaining flour into Mahua, bundle it with brown leaves, throw it under the cliff, and yell: "the brothers in the fortress are working hard. The king of Qin ordered us to send you Mahua!" When king an's men and horses found the Mahua, their morale was shaken, and king an hesitated. It seems that it is not easy to trap King Qin. When king an was hesitating, the king of Qin ordered his soldiers to make a big pine gun, filled it with gunpowder, and fired a shot at the mountain. Although it was not sure, it made a big hole in the ridge. So king an withdrew his troops to mount an Wang, waiting for the chance of King Qin to leave the village. The place where the pine cannon of the king of Qin blasted the mountain ridge out of the hole is still called window rock. It is said that the king of Qin had a gong to answer the mountain. As long as he knocked it, no one could hear it, but he could hear it everywhere. The king of Qin said to his wife, "when I'm out of the gate, if there's something urgent in the stockade, just knock on the gong." His wife did not know whether it was true or not. When the king of Qin came out, she knocked a few times. When the king heard the Gong, he came back immediately. When he asked, he was all right, so he went out again. A few days later, his wife thought that he had never been far away from home last time. This time, she tried again, so she knocked the Gong again. After a while, the king of Qin really came back. When he asked, he was ok, and he went out again. Soon, king an knew about it. He thought there must be some deceit, so he decided to go to Xiaoqin village immediately. When king an attacked the stronghold, the wife of King Qin knocked three gongs at Yingshan. But the king didn't come back. It took three days and three nights for king an to break through Xiaoqin village. King an's men and horses attacked from the gate of the East Village, and the soldiers and horses of King Qin fled through the gate of the West Village. At this time, the king of Qin rushed back, but he could not recover the defeat. Xiao Qin's wife is said to be the ninth princess in the palace of Ming Dynasty. She has been with Xiao Qin for many years. When the ninth princess was forced to leave Beijing, she took some gold, silver and jewelry with her. At the critical moment, the ninth Princess threw the gold and silver along the road with tears, and ran away. When king an's soldiers snatched the gold and silver, the king's men and horses were able to withdraw. More than 300 years later, the history of Xiao Qin's jumping from the horse to the horse has become a thing of the past, but his main hall and commanding platform are still there, still standing in the form of ruins in the luxuriant grass; Xiao Qin's powerful figure has disappeared, but his horse racing field and horse drinking pool are still there, still enriching the imagination of tourists; Xiao Qin's sound of sharpening his sword has been drowned, but his tall Dongzhai gate and Xizhai gate have disappeared Still, still in the sunset, guarding the gate leading to Fangshan ancient village.
