Shizu mountain scenic spot

Shizu mountain scenic spot

Shizu mountain, known as Juci mountain in ancient times, is located in Xindian Town, 15 kilometers southwest of Xinzheng City, covering an area of about 12 square kilometers. It has beautiful mountains and rivers, picturesque scenery, and Yellow Emperor cultural relics are all over the mountains.

Development history

In July 2000, the people's Government of Henan Province announced the Xuanyuan temple and other scenic spots on the top of the mountain as key cultural relics protection units at the provincial level. In 2001, it was announced as the patriotic education base of the all China Federation of overseas Chinese. In 2003, shizushan was approved as a provincial forest park by Henan forestry department, and in 2005, it was approved as a national forest park.

Main attractions

Fenghouling, the main peak of Shizu mountain, is 793 meters above sea level, with a relative height of 540 meters. From a distance, it looks like a statue of emperor Xuanyuan. It is magnificent and awe inspiring. After the wind, the South and east slopes of the five ridges are hundreds of meters high cliffs, with many strange peaks and rocks, forming a majestic mountain landscape. At the same time, the hillside is covered with dense forests and fragrant orchards. The qinggangmiao reservoir at the middle of the mountain is as flat as a mirror and clear as the bottom. The black dragon pool and the jade girl pool on the west slope, the murmur of the streams and the light and shadow of the waves are charming and moving, forming a beautiful scenery of mountains, water, springs and forests. In recent years, the city has accumulated more than 200000 people to plant trees in the mountains, and 200000 new evergreen trees have been planted. More than 200 kinds of forest plants belonging to 252 genera and 48 families have been planted in Shizu mountain, with a forest area of 4667 hectares and a forest coverage rate of more than 90%. Three communities have been formed, i.e. broadleaf mixed forest belt, bio ecological forest belt and shrub forest belt. Standing at the foot of the mountain, tuoyao village looks up at the eastern slope of its ancestor. Hundreds of meters high cliffs plunge into the sky, with many strange rocks and steep peaks. When you enter the gate of the mountain, climb the Wangzu Pavilion and watch the top of the mountain from afar. The giant statue of emperor Yanhuang is clearly visible, vivid and lifelike.

At the foot of the ancestral mountain, there is an ecological orchard with an area of nearly 100 mu. When you look up from a distance in February, you can see apricot flowers encircling you. In March, pink peach blossoms are unique. You can also see wild rabbits strolling in the orchard. In the middle of the orchard stands a transparent Hotel, where you can enjoy the scenery. Colleagues want to use local food

Not far from the Wangzu Pavilion is the great ancestral hall of the Yellow Emperor under construction. The temple is 30 meters high and 27 meters wide. It is an antique building with an investment of 12 million yuan. It is a key tourism project during the Ninth Five Year Plan period. After completion, it will become the "Oriental Mecca" for Chinese people at home and abroad to seek roots and worship their ancestors. From Huangdi's ancestral hall, you can climb 408 steps to Leizu Cave (it is said to be Niangniang Temple in ancient times). This is a large stone cave dug on the cliff in ancient times. There are statues of Leizu and Momu in it. Climbing to the entrance of the cave, you can see groups of visitors burning incense and worshiping ancestors in the cave, surrounded by smoke. Standing at the entrance of the cave, you are already living in the clouds. You can see the forest patches, the green sea is flooding, and the purple air is rising. On the cliff not far to the left of Leizu cave, there is a small niche called Qiuzi niche. It's said that every time you pick seven stones and throw them up, the empress will give you some sons. Climbing from Leizu cave to Limu peak, you can see the tall Eagle stone in the distance, which looks like a vigorous Eagle squatting on the top of the mountain and overlooking the sky.

On the top of the mountain, you will arrive at Zhongtian gate of Huangdi temple. Zhongtianmen is an imitation of Han Dynasty architecture, with red pillars and cornices. Red bricks and green tiles are magnificent. There is Zhongtian Pavilion in Zhongtian gate. Zhongtian you is the Yellow Emperor's pushing peak to welcome the sun. There are four platforms on the peak: Yellow Emperor's pushing platform, ministers' oath platform, wisdom platform and Mandarin Duck platform. It is said that "the Yellow Emperor obtained the Baoding, welcomed the sun and pushed forward the strategy, promoted the wind and herded the people, Chang Xian and Dahong ruled the people". On the tuiche platform, there are still the footprints of the Yellow Emperor and the seats of the Yellow Emperor and Leizu. Standing on tuiche peak to welcome the sun and clapping, there will be an echo in front of Zhongtian gate. Echo forms a line and can be transmitted tens of meters away. Mr. Fu Xinian, a famous academician, clapped his hands here and said, "the echo of the piano here appears on the mountain peak, which is really a unique Chinese."

Looking back into Zhongtianmen, you will see a stone tablet in front of Xuanyuan Pavilion of the ancestor mountain, on which is inscribed the inscription "majestic with CI mountain, eight thousand years of civilization" by Li Desheng. Xuanyuan Pavilion is a four story pavilion with red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and cornices. When I ascend the pavilion and look around, I feel relaxed and happy. Looking to the west, there are many peaks and mountains; looking to the north, there is a vast green plain, and the Yellow River flows into the sky; looking to the East, the reservoir looks like a mirror shining with silver light, and the stream flows into the deep pool. From Xuanyuan pavilion to the west, on the top of the mountain is Xuanyuan temple, an ancient building that has been preserved for thousands of years. The main hall is made of bluestone slabs, with stone walls, stone frames, stone roofs, stone doors and stone windows. Inside, there is a sitting statue of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Above the door is a plaque inscribed by Cheng Siyuan, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference. There is a stone tablet outside the gate, with the inscription of "ancestor of Chinese civilization" written by he Jingzhi, former Minister of culture. The temple was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit of Henan Province by the people's Government of Henan Province in 2000.

In the north of Xuanyuan temple, there are a group of stone inscriptions of famous people of all ages. Legend has it that celebrities and people of all ages climb mountains to worship their ancestors on March 3 every year, which continues to this day. In recent years, Chinese people from South Korea, Indonesia, Singapore and other places have organized mountaineering to worship their ancestors.

Now, the mountain road goes straight to the top of the mountain. The cultural sites of the Yellow Emperor, such as Xuanyuan palace, Nanya palace, Yellow Emperor Summer Palace, Yellow Emperor royal garden, Dahong garrison, Shaodian temple, Yellow Emperor natural mountain yinmaquan, Leizu temple and Yellow Emperor sannvzhong, are being developed to welcome people at home and abroad to visit and worship their ancestors.
