Jiulongtan scenic spot

Jiulongtan natural scenic spot was once the back closed mountain of "the forbidden area of Fengshui after the dragon" in the eastern Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty. The mountain is in the secondary state of semi primitive forest, which has the reputation of "Jingdong green treasure house".

The scenic spot is divided into eight landscapes, including Yiqi, Three Gorges, JiuTan and more than 50 scenic spots. The famous well of Taiji Bagua is 8.6 meters deep and waterless, which can be called one of the wonders of Jiulong. In severe winter, the well is as hot as steaming; in hot summer, the well is freezing. This well melts the changes of yin and Yang, and its function of water and fire is different from that of ice and carbon. It is warm in winter and cold in summer. The earth vein is miraculous, so it is called Taiji Bagua well.

The main line of Jiulong scenic area is divided into Antelope Canyon area, jiulongtan canyon area, laojundong canyon area and a wonder "Taiji Bagua well". The cultural landscape in the scenic area has a long history. The dragon culture and the legend of God form their own system. The Yanshan orogeny 140 million years ago formed a cleaving Grand Canyon in the scenic area, which makes the scenic area famous for its mountains, rocks, forests and pools, and a unique feature in East Beijing. The scenic area is characterized by high mountains and dense forests, beautiful peaks and rocks, crisscross canyons, streams and pools, and winding paths leading to seclusion. It can be said that it is mysterious and charming with strange, beautiful, dangerous and secluded features.

Development history

It is said that in ancient times, after Pangu's creation of heaven and earth, he incarnated the sun, moon, mountains, rivers and other things, and there was a giant dragon. He lived in the Dragon Nest in the sea, and had a daughter and nine sons. Later, because the sea turned into a mulberry field and the sea moved eastward, the Dragon King did not want his children to work hard before he went eastward with the sea, and Jiuzi could not go with them all before he became a real dragon, so he opened up nine dragon pools outside the dragon's nest for their children to live in, and used his own scales to turn into animals such as Ao, antelope, eagle, fish, shrimp and snake to guard around the dragon pool, which has been guarding until now. Although the legend is false, it is based on Longwo village and jiulongtan. Xinglong County did not exist in the sea in prehistory. It was the ancient Liaohai sea. The "hongshila" around hongshila village, 3km south of Jinxian County, has been identified by geologists as submarine sedimentary rocks.

Main attractions

Lingyang gorge area

In the area of antelope gorge, the cliffs are as sharp as knives and axes. There are many strange peaks in the valley, towering into the clouds, and strange rocks. The shape of the cliff is unique, and it has the magic of ghost axe. If you carefully observe, it is not difficult to find that the cliffs on both sides seem to be able to be together, looking up at the sky, only a line width. In terms of geological structure, this is a great rift valley formed by Yanshan orogeny 140 million years ago. It is said that when the Dragon King opened the pool, he turned the dragon scale into ten thousand antelopes and patrolled on the dangerous cliff of Longtan day and night. They lived in the Grand Canyon and multiplied, so they were called "longlinggu" or "Lingyang Grand Canyon".. There are nine main scenic spots in Lingyang gorge: Shuangshi cliff, xiaoshilin, Wohu peak, thumb peak, Xianweng chess platform, Tongtian River waterfall, Huangying hanging wing cliff, Shengui playing in the water and Longmen.

Xianweng chess table

The huge stone in front is square, square, thick and solid. It's really a ten thousand year old rock. This huge stone is called "Xianweng chess platform", which was originally called "Dragon King ordering platform". According to legend, when the Dragon King opened up jiulongtan, he divided troops on the boulder every day. After the completion of the opening up of the dragon pool, this platform was idle and useless. Because the environment around the platform is fresh and quiet, many immortals play chess here, so people also call it "Xianweng chess platform". It is said that in ancient times, a young man went to the mountain to cut firewood. When he saw two old men playing chess here, he watched for a while. Suddenly I felt hungry, so I picked up some peach stones left by the immortal on the ground. It was not until the afternoon, when the sun had set and the immortal had finished playing chess, that the young man came out of the mountain. When he got to the village, he didn't know any of them. I asked an old man with white hair in front of my house. The old man said that he had an old grandfather who went into the mountain to cut firewood and still didn't come back. Young people know that they have met immortal. It's really "one day in the mountains, thousands of years in the world.". The youth went back to the mountain to practice Taoism, and finally became an immortal. When you walk on the "Xianweng chess table", you can live to ninety-nine if you walk on the "Xianweng chess table".

Tongtiandong river waterfall

Tongtiandonghe waterfall looks from below. Its mouth is like an ancient well, and its shape is like a horse's hoof. There is a blue sky on it, and the water has no source. The waterfall makes a bet, and the sound of the water is like a jar. It seems that the water comes from the sky and resonates with the well wall, and the sound of the water is as pleasant as a chime. It is said that Tongtianhe waterfall is the only way for the nine dragons to go out. Jiulong must go up against the current and soar into the sky before they can travel in space. Therefore, this waterfall is called Tongtianhe waterfall. Its water has no source and no trace.

Huangying hanging wing cliff

The cliff is yellow. In the middle is the head and abdomen of the Yellow eagle. On both sides are the spread wings, just like a huge yellow eagle. It spreads its wings to face the sunrise, bathes in the rain and sun. It gives people a sense of majesty and magnificence of "Kunpeng spreads its wings for 90000 Li".

The turtle plays in the water

The mountain is like a turtle shell with gentle slope. The black long round boulder looks like a turtle's head stretching into the river. On the whole, it looks like a turtle playing in the water. On the right side of the cliff, there is a hole, which is called "turtle phase hole". It is said that the Dragon King went eastward after opening the pool. Before leaving, he asked the honest Prime Minister GUI to carefully record the behavior of every person who entered the dragon's gate and guard the Longtan. In order to remind those who enter the Longtan gorge, Prime Minister GUI uses magic to turn the mountain into a back shell and the boulder into his own head shape to monitor pedestrians. However, he hides himself in the hole on the right and secretly records every passer-by. Please see that Prime Minister Lao GUI has been here for tens of thousands of years, and he has done his duty to guard jiulongtan.

Longmen

Longmen, which is the gate of Longtan, is also the boundary between "Antelope Canyon" and "jiulongtan Canyon". After Longmen, there are "jiulongtan Canyon" and "laojundong Canyon". The so-called "Longmen" is divided into three gorges. It is said that carp will turn into a dragon when they jump on the dragon's gate, so there is an idiom "fish jump on the dragon's gate". It is because the dragon's gate is difficult to jump that it is as steep as a knife. Longmen has been half open and half closed for many years, which makes pedestrians feel that there is no way to go. There are cockscomb stones on the dragon's gate, which seem to remind the gatekeeper that cockcrowing can open the door at dawn. In ancient times, people often come to Longmen to forecast the weather change in a year, leaving behind a folk saying: "in the early spring, it's foggy in Longmen, and there's enough rain in spring; in the early summer, it's dry in Longmen, and it's dry in summer; in the early autumn, it's windy in Longmen, and it's rich in grain this autumn; in the early winter, it's snowy in Longmen, and it's a good year next year."

Kowloon Grand Canyon

The so-called "Jiulong Grand Canyon" is named for the Jiulong pool in the valley. There are jaicantan, kunniutan, Pulao pool, chiufeng pool, lion dragon pool, Baxia pool, Fukuan pool, B 屃 (x 屃) pool, fuqitan, jiudaolongtan in the valley, as well as shenape tongtianbi, longnvyao, Jiangjun peak, shuimanping Shichuan, Shoutou peak and other scenic spots.

Close to toudao Longtan, there used to be a dragon king temple. In ancient times, there was a lot of incense, and there were four seasons. Especially in the year of drought, the Dragon King Temple, which is not a big one, is full of cigarettes and mysterious. Rain seekers line up, sometimes miles away. According to textual research, this Dragon King temple was built in the Ming Dynasty at the latest. It is close to mountains and rivers. The main god worshipped in the temple is the "old Dragon King" who opened up jiulongtan.

Nowadays, there are no lively scenes of people praying for rain in ancient times. In ancient times, due to superstition, when it comes to the dry and rainy season, people with a radius of 100 Li have to go to jiulongtan to ask for rain from the Dragon King. There can't be any women in the rain praying team, but all the men have to line up in a long line with bare backs. They worship in three steps and kowtow in five steps. After a few days of worship, they all sink the sacrifices in the pool. It is said that if there is white air on the pool, it will rain. In the year of severe drought, it sometimes lasts for dozens of days. This kind of farce makes Jiulong Lake still full of mystery.

Haicantan

In Longwang temple, the pool worshipped for rain is the first pool, and its name is Jai canthus. It is the second son of the Dragon King. Because of its aggressive nature, it is easy to kill, and has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, the Dragon King opened its Tanfu in the first place to guard the gate of Longtan. Because of this, jaic canthus is often engraved on the handle of swords as a symbol to increase the lethality. It is said that Jaime has a clear sense of gratitude and resentment, and he will answer every request, but he can't offend. It is said that several villagers in Longwo village used explosives to explode fish in jaicantan. As a result, when they were walking on the road, there was a rainstorm and hail. All the fish came and ran away. The village was hit by hail disaster and got nothing. This may be a coincidence, but since then, jaicantan has been sealed with stone and locked with sand.
