Geography

Lingyun Pavilion is located in the front of Renshou mountain. It was originally built in the Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty (1488-1505) and rebuilt as a Lingguan Temple of brick and wood structure. In 1985, Lingguan temple was demolished and two-story pavilions were built. The lower floor is Guanyin hall, and the upper floor is still Lingguan temple. There are statues of Lingguan, 2 meters high. It is said that Wang Lingguan was born in Huizong (1101-1125) of Song Dynasty. His surname is Wang Mingshan. He is a Taoist God. He usually holds a wise eye in his left hand and a golden whip in his right hand. He is the protector of exorcism. Gu Zihui inscribed "Lingyun Pavilion" on the forehead, and the couplet was written by Huang Luobin, the "young commander": the scenery of flying Pavilion is sweeping the eye; the barren hillock is green, and the cause for thousands of years lies in people.

Renshou Pavilion is located 100 meters to the west of Lingyun Pavilion. It was originally built in the Ming Hongzhi period (1488 ~ 1505) after the reconstruction of the God of wealth temple. In 1984, the temple of God of wealth was demolished and Renshou pavilion was built. In order to make the pavilion look tall, the pavilion is built on a 2-meter-high square platform, using the techniques of relief, openwork and wood sculpture. The pavilion is carved with beams and painted with landscapes and flowers. The lattice between the hollow columns is decorated with relief banners. On the two pillars, a couplet was written for the forest and grass: peach blossoms reflect the Yellow River, willows brush the green and renshoushan.

history

The highest place is the Tianzun temple built in Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in successive dynasties, which is dedicated to the emperor. The ancestral temple of the same period under it is a classical courtyard building. The existing building was rebuilt in 1986. There are three main halls in the center, dedicated to the Xuanwu emperor. Xuanwu is the main god of the north in ancient mythology, and later regarded as Xuanwu emperor by Taoism, ranking second only to Sanqing and jade emperor in Taoism. Xuanwu is called the prince of jingle, and is the incarnation of the emperor of Yuanshi or jade emperor. In ancient mythology, Xuanwu is a combination of tortoise and snake. "Xuanwu is called tortoise and snake. It's located in the north, so it's called Xuanwu. It's called Wu because it has scales and shells." Their Dharma features are black clothes, hair, sword, tortoise and snake. There are couplets written by Pei Shen in the main hall: things are abundant, people are healthy, three dragons sing the same song of Renshou; rivers are clear, seas are clear, nine States celebrate peace.

The left and right wing rooms are connected by corridors. In the courtyard, there is a hundred year old tree peony which was moved from the ancestral hall of Zhu family. The stone tablet to the East in front of the gate is the inscription of anningbao temple in 1522 of the first year of Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, which records the whole process of anningbao's construction. The monument was originally erected in the ancestral temple in Anning fort and moved to Renshou mountain in 1958.

sheepskin raft

Leather raft is a raft made of sheep and cowhide. It is an ancient ferry tool reserved for the people along the Yellow River. When you stroll along the riverside path between Zhongshan Bridge and the sculpture of the Yellow River mother, you will occasionally see leather rafts floating leisurely on the river. From a distance, it looks like a boat. People and rafts mix together and drift with the current; close to the surface of the water, there are five or six guests sitting on the leather rafts. They walk with the ups and downs of the waves and are very exciting. This is the amazing folk cultural heritage of Lanzhou.

Production process

Leather rafts in Lanzhou are usually made of sheep's or cow's skin. When slaughtering, people peel off the fur of a large sheep or the whole cow skin, use salt water to remove the hair, then use vegetable oil to smear the limbs and neck to make it soft, and then tie it into a bag with a string, leave a small hole to blow enough air to seal the hole, and tie up several leather bags with wooden strips, and the raft is made. Because it is easy to make, low cost, easy to carry when drifting on the river, it is widely used in the folk. China has a long history of rafting. It is recorded in the book of the later Han Dynasty that when the Huqiang Xiaowei was crossing the Yellow River in guide, Qinghai Province, he "sewed leather bags as boats"; (in the chapter of Ye Yushui, Shuijing Zhu), "in the 23rd year of Jianwu, Han Dynasty (A.D. 47), Wang sent troops to take leather boats south"; (in the book of the old Tang Dynasty, dongnu Guozhuan), "used leather cattle as boats to cross the Yellow River"; Bai Juyi wrote in his poem (changqingji · Manyu Dynasty), "Pan leather boats cross the rope bridge, According to the biography of Wang Yande, the history of the Song Dynasty, it is said that "taking sheep's skin as a bag, blowing air and floating in water". It can be seen that since the Han and Tang Dynasties, rafts have been used in Qinghai, Shandong and along the Yellow River for a long time. It is difficult to determine when leather rafts will be popular in Lanzhou due to the lack of historical records. According to (Wang Jinbao), in February 1675, Wang Fuchen, the governor of Shaanxi Province, who was in charge of Lanzhou, ordered a rebellion. When Wang Jinbao, the commander in chief of Xining, was ordered to attack, he demolished houses in Zhangjiahe Bay, built bags of wood, crossed the Yellow River at night, and destroyed Xincheng and Longwei mountain of Gaolan. In June, Wang Fuchen's soldiers also built more than 100 rafts in an attempt to cross the river Wang Fuchen surrendered. It can be seen that at least 320 years ago, a large number of rafts were used in Lanzhou.

Historical use

In ancient times, rafts were mainly used for long-distance water transportation between Qinghai, Lanzhou and Baotou. The largest sheepskin raft is made of more than 600 sheepskin bags, 22 meters long and 7 meters wide. It is equipped with three oars at the front and back. Each oar is controlled by two people, and its load can reach 20-30 tons. It sleeps in the daytime and sleeps in the night. It travels more than 200 kilometers down the river from Lanzhou. It can reach Baotou in 11 or 2 days. The small sheepskin raft is made of more than 10 sheepskin bags, which is convenient for short distance transportation. Cowhide rafts are usually made of 90 cowhide bags and can carry 40000 Jin. Because the raft is as big as a giant boat, it floats on the surging Yellow River, and its momentum is spectacular. There is a saying of "sheepskin raft racing warship" in the local area. Before the 1950s, in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where the railway has not yet been opened and the highway transportation is not convenient, the raft has always been an important means of transportation. "Blowing cowhide and crossing the Yellow River" is another novel and exciting function of Lanzhou cowhide raft. The boatman climbs on the leather bag, grabs the bag with one hand and paddles with the other. It takes only ten minutes to deliver the ferry passengers to the other side of the Yellow River. I'm afraid you've never heard of this kind of ferry. But if you want, you can try.

skill

Rafting requires great skill. One must be careful and the other bold. When you go on the raft, you should be relaxed and free, and never jump vigorously. When sitting on the raft, you should hold on to the wooden pole or rope, but you can't catch the waves
