Chengcha River

The meaning of "riding the raft to heaven" in myth is that the water of Tianchi flows out quietly along the stone. At first, it is just a stream, gentle and leisurely. When the river flows for 1km, the terrain is suddenly steep, and the river begins to turn from gentle to turbulent. Because of its special geographical location, this torrent is connected with the Tianchi Lake, and the head is connected with the waterfall, hanging high on the mountain, so it is called Tianhe, also known as Chengcha river.

Chengcha River

Volume 3 of natural history: "Tianhe and Haitong, there are people living in Haizhu in modern times "I'll take a ride." Li Shangyin, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote some famous verses in his poem Haike, such as "Haike riding in the purple atmosphere on the Cha, and the stars and e weaving together". In Du Fu's poem "presenting twenty envoys to Xiao", there are also some famous verses, such as "drawing up the first road, riding in the Cha, moving the important parts". It can be seen that the gap of the Third Prince of the Dragon King, the canoe seen by the hunter and the inclined wood seen by the magistrate Liu Jianfeng are the origin of the name "Chengcha River".

Chengcha river is a rare river. There is such a record in jianggangzhilue of Changbai Mountain: "when the water flows out to Tianchi Lake, between the two peaks of Tianhuo and Longmen, the waves are gurgling, which is similar to Bailian.

Chengcha River

Also known as Tianhe, the valve, the gap between Longmen peak and Tianhuo peak in the north of Tianchi, is the outlet of Tianchi. The water from Tianchi overflows through niulangdu, forming a nearly north-south river valley, with a total length of 1250 meters. It is the "white link" connecting Tianchi and Changbai waterfall. This is Chengcha River, the shortest River in the world.

"Chengcha" is a mythical idea of riding rafts to heaven. On the cliff at an altitude of more than 2190 meters, when it reaches the end of 1250 meters, it suddenly falls down from the cliff, forming a 68 meter high Changbai waterfall, which becomes the main source of the Songhua River. There is a poem praising: Tianchi water, swimming in the clouds. Overflow man niulangdu, "by cha" look at the bullfight. Kiss goodbye to Tianhuo Longmen, and fall to Jiuzhou. It's the best in the world.

Tianchi water, swimming in the clouds.

Overflow man niulangdu, "by cha" look at the bullfight.

Kiss Tianhuo Longmen goodbye and fall to Kyushu.

Unparalleled in the world, the best in the sky!

This is a poem praising Chengcha river.

Chengcha River, like an inclined ladder, is sandwiched between Longmen peak and Tianhuo peak. People say that the river can reach the sky, so it is also called Tongtian River. It is the estuary of Tianchi, the source of Erdaobai River and Songhua River.

Chengcha river wanders on the cliff at an altitude of more than 2190 meters. From the exit of butianshi, it passes through niulangdu and gaoyankou waterfall. When it flows to the end of 1250 meters, it suddenly falls down from the cliff, drawing a rainbow and colorful 68 meter deep Changbai waterfall for Changbai Mountain. The waterfall is like a galaxy hanging upside down, which is a wonder. It is like a white drill falling from the sky, two jade dragon like water columns rushing to the bottom of the valley, splashing white waves several feet high, just like clouds and thunder, bells and drums thundering, which is worthy of being the first scenic spot of Changbai Mountain.

Historical legend

Chengcha river has an unusual origin.

It is said that in ancient times, there lived five Jiaolong in Tianchi Dragon Palace, who were the five princes of Tianchi Dragon King. All of them are shining, all of them can call the wind and the rain. One spring, when the flowers were in full bloom, the five brothers jumped out of the lake secretly, ah! If you don't look at it, you will see the picturesque scenery and fly to Baiyun peak. Where they fly, they leave five deep grooves. Although the spring is good, it can't stay long. The eldest brother leads the four brothers back to the Dragon Palace. Only the third prince is infatuated with the spring scenery of the world and is determined not to return to the Dragon Palace. In the middle of the journey, he secretly left the four brothers and ran away. With a roar, the two peaks opened, a flash of light flew to the northwest, and stepped out of a deep gorge. The water flowed with the waves. This is today's Chengcha River According to reports, in his early years, Xu, a hunter in Xiaobai mountain, saw a canoe on the East Bank of the river. In 1908, Liu Jianfeng, the magistrate of Antu County, investigated the whole territory of Antu. When he searched for the source of Songhua River, he also saw a tree slanting on the river, but not like a boat. There are no trees and few people here. Where does a tree come from? The two witnesses exclaimed and felt more magical.

The origin of the name

Tianchi water flows out quietly along the bulianshi. At first, it is just a stream, gentle and leisurely. When the river flows for one kilometer, the terrain suddenly slopes, and the river immediately turns into a wild horse, shaking white waves, whistling forward. Because of its special geographical location, the torrent is connected with the Tianchi Lake, and the head is connected with the waterfall, hanging high on the mountain, so it is called the Tianhe river. Tianhe, also known as Chengcha river. By cha refers to the mythical meaning of riding rafts to heaven. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian searched for the source of the sea, took a raft to pass by the moon, and went to a city. He saw a woman weaving cloth indoors, and a man drinking from the river with a cow. Then he took back the stone that the weaving girl gave him. (see the preface of Zhoumi's Guixin Zazhi, quoted from Jingchu Sui Shi Ji). Volume 3 of natural history records states: "Tianhe and Haitong, there are people living in Haizhu in modern times "I'll take a ride." Li Shangyin, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem named "Haike": Haike rides on the purple atmosphere on the tenor, and the star and the e weaves together.

We should not be afraid of Petunia and jealousy, and use Zhiji stone as a gift to you. The poem blends the two legends together. The ancestors of Aixinjueluo of Manchu nationality also went down the Songhua River on a raft to calm down the war and establish a country. According to the records of Wengang in Changbai Mountain, "the water flows out from the Tianchi Lake, and between the two peaks of Tianhuo and Xiaomen, the waves are gurgling, which is like white training, that is, it is not frozen in winter. Five li downstream, Feiquan hanging wall, Wancheng waterfall, sound heard ten li away. Below the waterfall is the source of Songhua River, named Erdaobai River.

Scenic spots

Changbai waterfall Changbai waterfall is located in the north of Tianchi, at the end of Chengcha river. When Chengcha river reaches 1250 meters, it flows straight down, forming a 68 meter high Changbai waterfall. Changbai waterfall is a famous scenic spot in Changbai Mountain. As the mountains are large and steep, the water is turbulent. At a glance, it looks like an inclined ladder. There is a huge stone at the mouth of the waterfall called "niulangdu", which divides the waterfall into two parts. Two jade dragon like pillars of water bravely rush to the protruding stone beach, rush to the deep valley, splashing several feet high waves, just like the flowers of heaven, and the water vapor is filled with fog, cloud and smoke, just like "thousands of piles of snow falling from the Milky way, and thousands of wisps of smoke flowing from the waterfall". In winter, the Changbai waterfall flies thousands of water drops from the cliff, and the spray is very spectacular. The poem said, "the scenery on both sides of the Baihe River is quiet, and the blue water cliff occupies thousands of streams. It is suspected that the dragon pool is spraying snow, just like the sky hanging flying stream. You don't have to cross the sea with a whip. You can take a bullfight with a cha. If you want to know Lin Quan, it's really fun to travel together in Ming Dynasty.

Its latitude longitudes the sky, the clouds turn over and the rain inclines. The roar can be heard dozens of miles away, and the momentum is like ten thousand horses galloping. The scene is very spectacular. When visitors pass here, they all stop to look up and feel a lot of emotion. The waterfall is like a white drill, falling from the sky, thundering like a jade dragon, rushing to the bottom of the valley. After thousands of years, a pool about 20 meters deep was formed under the waterfall. The pond water flows out and converges into Erdaobai River. Its magnificent scenery makes tourists forget to return.

Tonic stone

Bunianshi is located on the Bank of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, at the mouth of Chengcha river. From a height, it looks like a huge ivory tree stretching into Tianchi. "Changbai Mountain Jianggang Zhi Lue" said: "fill Tianshi, in Longmen peak East, Tianchi water place. The stone half lives in the water, half lives on the peak, rises specially but is high. Looking at its situation, Du Chi's water and mouth are the mainstays. It seems that there is an image of mending Tianchi's defects, so it's called it. " Liu Jianfeng means that this mountain like boulder is used to fill the Tianchi Lake. However, later generations understand that it is to make up the sky. In Changbai Mountain area, there is a myth of "butianshi smelter". People associate this stone with Nu Wa. In addition, the giant rock was formed by the cold and solidification of magma after the volcanic eruption. It was refined and burned by the fire. There are many bubbles and scratches on it. In particular, its shape is like a long piece of dough, falling from the sky.

It's reasonable to say that it can make up the sky. In recent years, many people think that Changbai Mountain is Qinggeng peak, and Jia Baoyu is a stone under Qinggeng peak. This kind of view strengthens the myth of the mending stone in Changbai Mountain.

There is no exact calculation of the specific height and length of bulianshi. It can only be estimated according to the comparison between people and mountains. The highest point is about 10 meters long and more than 50 meters long. It is a pocket peninsula extending into the Tianchi Lake and a tourist attraction with cultural connotation of Changbai Mountain.

Niulangdu

Niulangdu is located on Chengcha river. It is a stone across the river. It is like a small bridge to help people cross the river. Since then, after crossing the Chengcha River, you can reach Zhinu peak, so it is named. The love story of Niulang and Zhinu, Tianhe Pei, has found material evidence in Changbai Mountain.

The water of Tianchi has just flowed into Chengcha river. It is as flat as a mirror and clear as the bottom. The river is shining blue light, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and mountain shadows, planting the pastoral silence
