brief introduction

According to historical records, "Yu divided the world into nine states, Yu was among the nine states, and you was among the Yu States, so it was the middle of the heaven.". On the other hand, it is said that there was no clock in ancient times and there was no white

The time of the day can only be calculated by the change of the shadow of the sun. According to the old annals of Runan, "the shadow of the sun has been measured since ancient times, which is the correct one, so the earth and stone have been built to record it.". So Runan is called Tianzhong. "Tianzhongshan, three feet three, come to tianzhongshan, one step can ascend the sky." This is a folk song in Runan. It's a little exaggerated, but it's very vivid. "Three feet three" means that the mountain is small, and "climbing to the sky" also reflects the mystery of the communication between the mountain and heaven and earth. Indeed, Tianshan Mountain is not a real "mountain", it is just a sign, a symbol, or a totem.

In recent years, the county government has increased the construction of entertainment facilities for the masses. As one of the key points, tianzhongshan has been built into the largest leisure and entertainment place in Runan County. Now it is named "tianzhongshan ecological park"

Name and history

The name of "Tian Zhong Shan" has been officially recorded in historical records since Tang Dynasty because Yan Zhenqing wrote the inscription of "Tian Zhong Shan" in person. According to historical records, in the third year of emperor Dezong's Jianzhong reign (782 A.D.), Li xilie, the governor of Huaixi, betrayed the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Jianzhong (783 AD), the imperial court sent Yan Zhenqing, a loyal, upright and famous official of the three dynasties, to Xuchang to comfort Li xilie's department. As soon as he was about to announce the decree, Li xilie's adopted son, more than a thousand soldiers, armed with steel knives, surrounded Yan Zhenqing, fierce and abusive. Yan Zhenqing did not change her face. Li xilie then gave up all the people and treated Yan with courtesy. He made a promise of high office and high salary and rebelled against the imperial court. Yan Zhenqing refused to obey until he died. Later, he was sent to caizhou (today's Runan city). The big characters on the tianzhongshan stele were written by Yan Zhenqing when he was in Runan. After the pacification of Huaixi, people built "yanlugong Temple" in Runan city in memory of Yan Zhenqing. Tianzhongshan is famous for the inscription of "tianzhongshan" written by Yan Zhenqing. It has become a place for officials and literati to visit and visit.
