geological structure

Yundongyan is located in the circum Pacific tectonic belt. Its granite was formed in the late Mesozoic (80-100 million years ago). At that time, the magma at the top of the mantle intruded into the crust for many times, experienced many geological tectonic movements and many transgressions and regressions. With the rise of the crust, after long-term weathering, erosion and denudation, it formed a unique granite landform. Yundongyan granite landform has a unique rock landscape, which is different from the surrounding barren mountains. Its biggest feature is that the whole mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, is almost all made up of various exquisite and peculiar granites with different expressions.

The granite of yundongyan can be divided into four units

1. The upper peak is composed of horizontal joint developed schist and Boulder, such as yungen cave and wind rock.

2. On the west slope, the granite with well-developed vertical joints forms many landscapes characterized by crevice, such as stone wall, stone pillar (depeng stone) and a line of sky. Many granite pillars, such as giant pillars, soar into the sky.

3. In the steep valley on the south slope, the large and small stone egg type granite rolling down from the top overlaps and forms many deep caves. There are narrow stone gaps, open large cave halls, abrupt rocks, light and dark connected, and labyrinth caves.

4. To the north is Sanfeng mountain, which is characterized by stone forest, stone pillar and solitary stone formed by granite. Standing on the top of the rock overlooking the rivers and mountains, it is like a general living in the command tower, arousing the feeling of guiding the rivers and mountains

Cultural legend

It is said that a long time ago, there was a small mountain village called caiban. In front of the village and behind the village, there is a vast expanse of land and ocean. There is not even a small hill and slope. One day, Nanhai Guanyin came from Tiangong. This time, she visited the Jade Emperor in the LingXiao Hall of Jinque cloud palace, and asked the Jade Emperor to give her two mountains to decorate the gate, so as to make her Buddha land more spectacular.

The Jade Emperor agreed to her. Guanyin said that the mountain she wanted was not an ordinary one, but a mountain with all the stones and all the earth. The Jade Emperor was stunned, and said: "all things in the universe, yin and Yang complement each other. Does the earth not smell that the solitary Yin does not live, and the solitary Yang does not grow. You want the mountain of the whole stone and the whole earth. It's not the product of yin and Yang. It's rare in the world. " After discussion, the Jade Emperor finally sent a decree to give Guanyin the stone mountain on the east coast and the earth mountain on the north coast. After paying farewell to the Jade Emperor, Guanyin went back to the South China Sea, folded a purple bamboo and handed it to Huang jinlishi. He asked him to use the purple bamboo as a shoulder pole to pick up the Dongyan Stone Mountain and the round earth mountain. After receiving the decree, Huang jinlishi immediately drove to Yuntou and soon came to the east coast and North overseas. He gathered the two hills together, one at a time, and picked them up. At this time, a crane, a female and a male, flew out from the bottom of the mountain and followed Huang Jin Li Shi to the clouds. It turns out that the crane was raised by Prince Xuanxuan and hidden under the mountain. Huang jinlishi, carrying the stone mountain and earth mountain, just stepped on the cloud. Suddenly, the thunder roared in the air and the rainstorm poured down. Huang jinlishi accidentally fell to the cloud and sat down in front of a small village called Tian PU.

Huang jinlishi stood up from the ground with his legs outstretched. He pushed his feet hard, just one on the stone mountain and the other on the earth mountain, leaving a pair of footprints on the mountain. He wanted to raise the two mountains again, but he couldn't. It turned out that Dongyan Stone Mountain fell on Pingyang beside caiban village. It sank deeply, and the base and Pingyang were tightly bonded together. Huang jinlishi pulled it from east to west, but he didn't pull it up after a long time. He shook his head in a hurry, and inadvertently waved the purple bamboo pole to the ground to have a rest. The pole fell on the slope of wansongguan. Shasha soon took root. Huang jinlishi wanted to pull the pole after a rest, but he couldn't pull it up. He looked at the shoulder pole and the hill dejectedly and shook his head. Then he went back to Nanhai and pleaded with Nanhai Guanyin. After listening to this, Guanyin thinks that the two mountains fall there because of their wishes and the blessing of the people of caiban and Dayang villages. They don't want to dig up the mountains any more
