Discovery and development

The discovery of Yeren cave in Fangxian County

Yeren cave is located on the side of national highway 209 in Qiaoshang Township, 26 kilometers away from Fangcheng county. The river flows continuously. There is a fish hole by the river. After March 3 every year, the tide comes out and the fish are picked up by baskets. Most of them are 60-70 Jin, and the least is 10-20 Jin. At this time, people are waiting at the mouth of the fish hole day and night. When it's still at night and it rains, go to yerendong to have a rest. In 1972, there was a climax of learning from Dazhai in agriculture all over the country. Liu Guolong, then Secretary of the Qiaoshang district Party committee, was staying in duchuan village. Because of the lack of fertilizer, he heard that the old farmer said bat dung had high fertilizer efficiency, so he arranged eight people to dig bat dung, including accountant Liao Xingui and vice captain Li Wenbing. Each person takes a sack, two people a flashlight and 5 kg diesel to light the road with a "high light" (the high light uses a bamboo pole to open the middle bamboo knot, leaving only one end untouched. It is filled with diesel oil and stuffed with a torch and torch ignited by cotton wool. Because of its length and more oil, it can shine far, for a long time, and the brightness is also large). Afraid of losing his way in the cave, he cut a bunch of branches and chalk to mark.

When they went into the cave, it was like a maze. Therefore, they put a branch every ten or twenty feet and made a mark on the stone wall with chalk. After walking about 60 to 70 feet, we found that there were eight clips, the smallest one could only allow one person to crawl. They called it "dog climbing hole". After the "dog climbing cave", there is the "erdaotang". This hall is large and high, surrounded by Jinshan, Yinshan, Shifo and other landscapes. At the same time, tens of thousands of bats have been found embroidered into a lump, the big one is the size of a washbasin, and the bat dung on the ground is two feet thick. They loaded bat dung and ate dry food. Curiosity decided that they would continue to explore. After "erdaotang", there are "immortal hall", "foyeling", "Lotus basin", "Guanyin inkstone", "immortal mill" and so on. They didn't turn around until they explored the bottomless Tiankeng.

The first tourism work meeting of the whole county was held in May 1994. At the meeting, Fu Jiabao, deputy head of Qiaoshang Township, talked about the above situation. In September of that year, we organized a four person expedition to Qiaoshang Township, but it was fruitless because we didn't find the cave entrance.

On March 31, 1995, we made a special trip to duchuan village of Qiaoshang township to find village head Liao Xingui. Liao said that he needed 200 yuan to use flashlights and other lighting appliances. I immediately paid Liao 200 yuan. With the efforts of Liao Xingui, he finally found the cave.

Zou hushping is a professor of central China Normal University. He has been deputy head of science and technology in Fangxian County for three years. He has a good understanding of all aspects of the county. After listening to my talk about the discovery of karst caves in Qiaoshang Township, I was very happy and decided to join me in the exploration to see if there was any development value. So we prepared three blackouts, three flashlights and a 30 meter long rope and drove to Qiaoshang Township on April 3. Led by Fu Jiabao, the deputy head of Qiaoshang Township, Liao Xingui, the head of duchuan village, Liao Xinyuan, and Zhao Daqian, the villagers explored Yeren cave.

When we came to the place where Liao Xingui and others found the cave, we crossed the river and climbed up the mountain for more than 300 meters. On the rocky wall with mixed shrubs and thorns at the middle of the mountain, we found an A-shaped cave, about 67 meters high and 34 meters wide. Standing at the cave, we were cool. We hold the rope, Liao Xingui is in front, I'm second, Liao Xinyuan is third, deputy county magistrate Zou is fourth, Fu Jiabao is fifth, and Zhao Daqian is last. Walk along the entrance three or four meters is the hall, the hall is about 30 square meters. Walking through the hall, climbing up about 3 meters is the first clip. On the left is a stalactite more than 8 meters high, like Optimus Prime. On the right is a rock, which can only crawl through. About 10 meters ahead is the second clip. This clip is the longest, about 7 meters. It climbs up for 4 meters. It can't turn around and climbs down for 4 meters. The other cards are just low head, bent over to pass, only the eighth clip is the most difficult to pass. Walking two meters down from the seventh clip, it's a hole only 30 cm wide and 70 cm high, with hard rock on the top and yellow mud on the bottom. When crawling, one hand is in the front and the other hand is in the back. When crawling on one side, both hands and feet can't use force, swimming like a snake.

After the clip, and then climb two or three meters of yellow mud slope, the people in front of and behind can not help, this is what the villagers call "dog climbing hole". There is another village with dark willows and bright flowers. After eight clips, it is the spectacle of karst cave. We explored in the cave for more than three hours and found that there were seven large and small caves, and at the end was a dark, bottomless pit. The whole cave is about two or two li long. It's a feast for the eyes.

On April 5, 1995, we wrote a written report to the county Party committee and the county government demanding the development of Yeren cave, which attracted the attention of the county leaders and required us to organize relevant personnel to further investigate and demonstrate. On June 19, we also invited relevant personnel from the county and Qiaoshang township to conduct various investigations on scenic spots such as Yeren cave. On June 23, we wrote and submitted a feasibility study report on the development of Yeren cave to the county Party committee.

On April 9, 1995, the leaders of Qiaoshang Township organized more than 10 township cadres to visit the cave. After seeing the cave, they all applauded. Yue Xiangjun, director of the township enterprise management committee and manager of the mineral development company, took the initiative and submitted an application report to the Township People's government to put the yerendong scenic spot under the management of the mineral development company. The Qiaoshang township government approved the development and operation of the mineral development company on April 15, 1995. On April 16 of the same year, Yue Xiangjun arranged a 6-person tourism development and construction team to rent a 20 horsepower diesel generator set to generate electricity, to light the cave, remove the silt, and widen the eight clips in the cave. It took one year for the eight clips to bend over. Later, due to extreme financial difficulties, it was forced to stop work.

In August 1995, the county Party committee and government organized relevant leaders to inspect Yeren cave again. We all agreed that it has development value and development prospects, so we decided to jointly develop yerendong by counties and townships, and established a leading group with Peng Chengzhi as the leader, Wang Jiangan and Du dexuan as the deputy leaders, sun Xiwei, Yuan Chao and Zhang Yangui as the development leaders, under which yerendong development company was set up, and the coordinated development fund was 310000 yuan. Due to a variety of reasons, failed to implement the funds and stranded.

Development of Yeren cave in Fangxian County

In October 1997, led by Yue Xiangjun, a joint-stock cooperative development company was formed with 12 people. The company raised more than 30000 yuan and hired a construction team of 15 people. From November 1997 to January 1998, more than 1500 earthwork were excavated. The 67 meter long passage from the entrance to the eighth clip reached the standard of 1.8 meters high and 1.2 meters wide. In June 1998, Mr. Li Hongru, a Taiwan compatriot, supported 16000 yuan RMB to connect the high and low voltage lines inside and outside the cave. However, twenty thousand yuan is like a drop in the bucket for the development of a tourist attraction. Zhongyue sent a letter to Shiyan Municipal government asking for help. The municipal government instructed Li Huashan, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, to try to support him.

On August 12, 1998, Li Huashan, director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, and his party made an on-the-spot investigation of Yeren cave. At the same time, Li Faping, deputy director of the Municipal Tourism Bureau, arranged to consult with the manager of the municipal state-owned assets management company. Through various efforts, they won 20000 yuan of free funds and built the road outside the cave.
