Paradise, fairyland on earth,

. Located in Heping Village, Baiguo Town, Hengshan County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. It is a quiet rural place far away from the city. Its Danxia landform is fascinating, and its simple folk customs are touched by the world. It's a sacred place to look for the return of the soul. It reminds us of Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land.

Hengshan Chuanyan scenic spot

Chuanyan scenic spot is not only rich in natural tourism resources, but also rich in human resources. Zhao hengti, the great warlord in modern Chinese history, had his ancestral home here. All the fields nearby were once the property of his family.

Zhao hengti (1880-1971), a native of ginkgo, was born in Hengshan. He studied in Japanese Sergeant school and participated in the revolution of 1911 and the second revolution. In 1916, he was appointed as the commander of the new first division by Tan Yankai, the governor of Hunan Province. He was promoted to commander in chief of Hunan army in 1920.

In August 1921, Zhao hengti led the army to "aid Hubei autonomy", which resulted in a great defeat back to Hunan. Despite the serious drought in the province, he spent a huge amount of military expenditure to reorganize the army, which aroused strong opposition from all walks of life in the province. Zhao ordered soldiers to beat up students who took part in the petition everywhere, and ordered the killing of Huang AI and Pang Renquan, leaders of Hunan labor association, and the closure of the Labor Association.

In May and June 1923, the people of the provincial capital demanded the recovery of Lushun and Dalian and held Anti Japanese demonstrations. The Japanese Navy openly shot and killed the protestors, leading to the "June 1" massacre. On the same day, Hunan foreign affairs support association put forward three conditions, including severely punishing the murderer, for Zhao hengti to negotiate with the Japanese. Under the pressure of the public, Zhao sent officials to negotiate with the Japanese side, issued martial law to prohibit students from leaving school, ordered the dissolution of the diplomatic support association, arrested Liu Shiqi, the director of the association, and searched for Guo Liang, Xia Xi, Xia Minghan and other key elements. In July of the same year, Sun Yat Sen appointed Tan Yankai as governor of Hunan Province and commander in chief of Hunan army. In August, Tan took office in Hengyang. At this time, Zhao had promulgated the "provincial constitution", claiming that he was the "elected governor", and under the pretext of Tan Yankai's destruction of the provincial constitution, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the "Hunan constitution protection army" and sent troops to denounce tan. Since the middle of August, the tan and Zhao armies have fought fiercely in Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, Hengshan and Hengyang. In early November, because of Chen Jiongming's mutiny, Sun Yat Sen called Tan Yankai to lead his division to Guangdong to relieve the crisis, and the battle between Tan and Zhao ended. On the 15th, Zhao sent a battalion led by Zhao Heshu, a close friend of Zhao, to the north of Hengshan Mountain. Together with the local gentry, he destroyed the newly established Yuebei peasant workers' Association, shot and killed three representatives of farmers, arrested more than 70 people, and burned more than 20 meeting sites and houses of farmers. At the same time, bin Bucheng, the murderer of Huang and Pang, was appointed as the director of Shuikoushan Mining Bureau and sent troops to seize the workers' club. The workers revolted in groups, and the garrison shot blatantly, killing one person and injuring two. They offered a reward and wanted 10 people, including Jiang Xianyun, the general representative of the club and Zhao Baicheng, the backbone of the labor movement, and dismissed more than 2000 workers.

In May 1925, the news of "Qinghu Massacre" spread to Hunan and aroused great public indignation. On June 4, Changsha City held strikes, strikes and strikes. On the 5th, 100000 people took part in the demonstration. Zhao was so frightened that he declared martial law in the whole city, cut off the telephones of all schools, and posted notices to intimidate the masses all over the streets. On the 17th, Shuikoushan mine stopped work for demonstration. Zhao learned that he ordered the army and police to suppress it and arrested more than 20 people. In September, Zhao sent a gun team to assist Fang Benren, a warlord in Jiangxi Province, in suppressing the workers' movement in Anyuan coal mine, killing four workers, killing Huang Jingyuan, deputy director of the workers' club, and expelling more than 1200 workers. In November, Zhao ordered Ye Kaixin Department of Zhuzhou garrison to kill Wang Xianzong, leader of Zhuzhou peasant association.

Zhao hengti also did some useful things when he was governor of Hunan Province. He didn't issue a note, borrowed foreign debt, or excessively increased taxes. He also put forward some financial resources to establish Hunan University, build Hunan Textile Factory, broaden the streets of the provincial capital, subsidize Xiangya Hospital and a number of private schools, and set aside 20000 yuan from the provincial administrative fine to set up a poverty factory in Hengshan.

Zhao hengti flaunted "Hunan's constitutional autonomy", pursued the policy of "resisting the north and blocking the South", and did not let the Kuomintang troops fake the way of Hunan's Northern Expedition, which became the resistance for the Guangzhou national government to launch the northern expedition. In the spring of 1926, there were many waves of "driving Zhao" in Hunan Province. Forced by the situation, Zhao realized that the northern expedition was irresistible, and he was even more afraid of Tang Shengzhi's coercion. Anyway, the governor's term of office was coming to an end, so he had better go down the ladder. On March 12, he resigned from the provincial council and rushed to Shanghai that night, ending his rule in Hunan.

Zhao lived in seclusion in Shanghai for 11 years, studying Buddhism and chanting sutras behind closed doors. In October 1937, he returned to Hunan and became the speaker of the provincial military assembly. During this period, he presided over the construction of Nanyue Zhonglie temple and Nanyue hydropower station. In 1946, he was elected president of the provincial council. He was deputy to the National Congress in 1947. I went to Taiwan in the spring of 1949. In 1952, he was employed as a senior official of the Taiwan authorities. He died in November 1971.

At the end of the Chuanyan scenic spot is the former residence of Zhao hengti's family. There is a small pond in front of the ordinary Xiangnan residence, but behind the house is a mystery. The torrential rain in recent days has completely disrupted my original plan for collecting wind. On July 5, the rain finally stopped, so he contacted several friends and came to Chuanyan scenic spot, Baiguo Town, Hengshan County. This is a scenic spot that has not yet been opened to the public. Although I have been to Baiguo town many times, I have never been here. Many people in Hengyang don't know about this place. When they learned about this place in Hengyang media, they had the desire to come here. Some time ago, I contacted the writer and finally found out the specific location of this place.

Chuanyan scenic spot is located in Heping Village, Baiguo Town, Hengshan County, close to provincial highway 314. The Tan Heng Expressway to be built will also have an interchange here, 40 kilometers away from the national scenic spot Nanyue Hengshan. The location of Baiguo town is commonly known as the "Back Mountain" of Nanyue. Standing beside the signboard beside the highway, the highest peak in the distance is zhurong peak of Nanyue.

The official place name here is "Peace Village, Baiguo town". At present, the village road is being built here, so we have to park our car to a small shop beside the road and walk into the scenic spot.

The scenic area is Danxia landform with peculiar mountain shape and beautiful scenery. The panoramic area is estimated to be about 1.5 km.

The first thing you see is a towering rock. From the front, it looks like the birthday star of Antarctica, with a round drum on its forehead. It is said that this is called "hanging bead".

It is said that Zhuyan was once higher than zhurong peak. Zhurong day was one foot long, and it was one foot long. As a result, it angered the God of heaven and was beaten down by Lei Gong, so it collapsed and scattered everywhere. What's more strange is that the rock is actually hollow. There is a hole at the top of the mountain, which is not deep enough to see the bottom.

It's sunny after rain. Today's air perspective is very good. In addition, the beautiful clouds in the sky add a lot of color to my films.

There are not many people in Heping Village. The villagers are working hard.

The folk customs here are simple. When the woman saw that my camera was aimed at her, she immediately hid behind the door

We meandered along the secluded muddy path, and the hills with danyan landform were amazing.

Most of the people here live on the rocks. They have long been known as "cave people". Now that they are rich, their magnificent new houses are still built on the rocks.

Here, there is a lotus pond. The fragrant lotus is intoxicating

It is also a villager who is building a new house. Most of the people here work outside. It is a common concept of farmers in Hengyang area that they can build houses if they have some money.

The farmer who built the House asked me to take a picture of his temporary house and said that his ancestors lived in this kind of house. Now there is no second house like this in the village.
