Baizhang Gorge

Baizhang gorge is located in SUOXIYU scenic area, which is said to be an ancient battlefield. The scenic spots such as Mazhu, chaqifeng and yuxiyan are related to the ancient battlefield, so baizhangxia is also known as baizhangxia. There are few historical records of Wulingyuan scenic spots. Because of the dangerous terrain, there were many words in the early Ming Dynasty. According to the records of Cili County annals, "the gorge is a hundred feet high, high and beautiful in the clouds, the stone screen is red, and the eyes are closed suddenly, which is the best in the world."

geographical environment

Baizhang gorge is the highway from Wulingyuan scenic area to Zhangjiajie City, which runs through the whole gorge. It is named because there is a stone wall nearly 100 feet high, straight into the sky and dare not look up. According to the records of Cili County, SUOXIYU has Baizhang gorge on the right, which is 30 kilometers long It is also said that the uprising army and the officers and men of Xiangwang Tianzi successively fought 100 battles here, which is also called Baizhan gorge. In the Ming Dynasty, Hu Guifang, a soldier of Jiuyong army, spent his whole life touring mountains and rivers. When he came to Baizhang gorge, he wrote a seven character poem: "the gorge is 100 Zhang high, the cave is deep, so you should know where to look for the peach garden; when the army travels slowly, the wind and snow are tight, who will make up the mountain shade." Carved on the stone wall beside the road in the gorge.

Anyone who has been to SUOXIYU knows Huanglong cave and Baofeng lake, but they don't necessarily know there is Baizhang gorge there. A very wild place. yes

One class of irregular sloping fields, next to the unnoticed hills. A stream meanders at the foot of the mountain, and there is almost no water. It can only be identified by some messy pebbles. Where the stream comes out of the mountain is Baizhang gorge. Several narrow paths, which are both ridges and paths, lead me to the gorge. Ah! All of a sudden, my eyes were wide open, and I was surprised. What a magnificent mountain, what a rugged peak! In the middle of the gorge not far away, a peak rises like a giant rod fish, with its head in the air and its tail in the stream. It is so spectacular that it attracts me all of a sudden.

The narrow gorge, about 15 kilometers long, is surprisingly quiet and wild with few visitors. There are no villages, no houses, no temples, no pavilions, buildings, cars and horses. A stream runs through the gorge. It is too small for boats and rafts. It hides in the bushes. Even the stream seems to be afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the wild gorge, neither murmuring nor murmuring, but flowing silently. Along the stream is a small trail, one on the left and one on the right. I went up the stream and crossed a log bridge on the left bank of the gorge. Without careful repair and chiseling, the wooden bridge is naturally wild. After crossing the bridge, I stepped on the right bank and entered the gorge. Gorge is very clear, no haze around, no smoke shrouded, all clear and distinct, vividly. Pines and cypresses, Cyclobalanopsis glauca, green fir, thick vines and long vines. Or standing on the peak, or hanging on the cliff. Bright green, black green hair. Occasionally dotted with mountain flowers, scarlet, light yellow, dark blue, dark purple. There are butterflies dancing, there are bees buzzing, but there are no birds singing and animals singing. The wind blows through the gorge, the trees swing lightly, and the green light fluctuates, making it more bright and quiet. Walking about a mile or two, we arrived at the foot of the mountain which looks like a giant rod fish. Ask a firewood chopper to know that this peak is called Chaqi peak. The name is special. If you ask carefully, the fruit has its origin. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Tujia peasant uprising army fighting here, and the flag was placed on the peak, so it was named. There is a small stone arch bridge under the peak, called fire bridge, which is also related to war. Because of frequent wars, this gorge is called Baizhan gorge, which is now called Baizhang gorge. I stood on the bridge and looked up at the peak. I thought that when the volunteers were fighting, I was full of pride. I felt that Yexia was powerful and the peaks were majestic. After the peak of Chaqi, I stepped into a huge fan-shaped cliff, which is a great spectacle in the gorge. Looking up, I couldn't help feeling dizzy. The huge wall is like a mountain. Half of it has been cut off, and half of it is about to fall. Its potential is high above the sky, high above the clouds, majestic and towering, desolate and precipitous. At a glance, it has the feeling of "high mountains and high mountains". A large area of cangyan mottled, vertical and horizontal stone patterns, thousands of wrinkles, with countless rich lines of beauty, attracting people to see all kinds of strange. For a long time, I turned around and looked across the other bank, but the cliffs were towering, the screens were stacked, like high walls and huge battlements. Lush miscellaneous trees attached to it, holding green pile. The bare walls are rugged and colorful, with light ochre and dark brown, egg white and yellowish, sunlight reflecting, golden and silver glittering. What a beautiful wild gorge! It's really like entering a fairyland or a dreamland. It's pleasant and exciting.

A person in this wild and lonely gorge, a long time, the feeling of loneliness will spontaneously arise. This kind of loneliness is different from the lonely melancholy of spring and autumn alone. Facing the old cliff and ancient wall, the eternity of time, the long time, the vastness of the universe and the mystery of nature make people think of the poem "only heaven and earth are infinite, mourning the long and diligent life, the past is more than the past, and the coming is not heard". At this moment, hum these words, feel the boundless and powerful mood. In fact, it is also an extraordinary spirit to deeply appreciate loneliness. Chen Zi'ang's "thinking of the long time of heaven and earth...." "Dengyouzhou Taige" is the acme of Dagu. To compete with the vast and infinite time and space, we need a great feeling. In front of us, the cliffs and dangerous peaks have been in the wilderness for thousands of years. They are far away from the bustling, do not like the bustling, willing to be lonely, content with indifference, live and exist silently, do not want to love, do not envy and appreciate. Even now, Suoxi Valley has become a famous tourist attraction. There are many tourists in Huanglong cave and Baofeng lake, but few of them come here. However, they still stick to the indifference and tranquility. It's my idea to hide in the wilderness with a kind of wild and quiet beauty. Mountains are old if they have feelings! However, I'm very proud of myself. I'm glad that I don't go with the tide, I don't tend to be busy, and I go alone. Only in this way can I enjoy the tranquility, quietness and wild atmosphere here, indulge my thoughts, appreciate the natural style, feel the distant, broad and wonderful scenery of this wonderful mountain and water, and appreciate life. It's not a rare experience! I watched for a long time in the gorge, until the sun had gone west, and then I left reluctantly. The next morning, I went again. All morning, I wandered, stood and meditated in the gorge, once again enjoying an unusual indifference and tranquility.
