The origin of place names

On the winding clear river in Weiqiao village, there stands an old stone arch bridge. The bridge is small, about 22 meters long and 5.5 meters wide. There are railings about 1 meter high made of red stone on both sides. It looks nothing special. Careful observation shows that the bridge is a double stone arch bridge, and the river is not wide, Why do you want to build a double arched stone bridge? Most people in the village like to call this bridge "Royal Bridge". Why? The gurgling stream flowing through Weiqiao comes from the southern foot of Qiyun mountain, a famous Taoist mountain. It is called Zixi river. It is said to commemorate a Taoist surnamed Zi in Qiyun mountain. This Taoist is good at geomantic omen and looks at the sky. At the beginning, when the ancestors of villages such as Dangjin and Pingtan moved to the riverside, they all asked this Taoist to survey the site by himself. Therefore, Dangjin has always been more developed. It was once the seat of Xiuning County. There are also Ziyun temple and Ziyun pass on the Qiyun mountain, which are also related to the Ziyun Taoist. At the same time, in the name of Zixi, Ziqi comes from the East. Zixi river is relatively narrow, generally more than 5 meters long. It is one of the roads leading to Wuyuan from Xiuning in ancient times, but there has never been a stone bridge. It is very inconvenient for people on both sides to travel, especially in flood season. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the villagers raised funds to build a single span bridge, but the strange thing is that every time it was built, a flood came, and the stone bridge was washed down, which made the villagers very distressed. So he asked the Taoist of Qiyun mountain for advice, and met a Taoist of Zixiao Taoist temple. The Taoist said: it's better to build a double arch stone bridge here to be safe. But in ancient times, folk bridges could only be built with single arch, not double arch, only with special approval of the emperor. For this reason, the local people reported to the Huizhou government, and the Huizhou government sent people to investigate. When they saw that the report was true, they played it up one level at a time. When Kangxi saw the memorial, he thought deeply about the hard work of the Bai surname in Huizhou, and with a stroke of a brush, he readily agreed. When the imperial edict came, the local people were all jubilant and immediately built the double arch stone bridge. In order to appreciate Emperor Kangxi's kindness, the villagers called this bridge "Yuqiao", which has been handed down to the present. Since then, no matter how ferocious the flood, Yuqiao has been able to enter Mount Tai and remain still. Three hundred years have passed, and the strong wind depends on it. But why is it called Weiqiao later? it is said that after the completion of the bridge, the Yuqiao area was not prosperous. Why? Later, an expert pointed out that the name of the Royal Bridge was too prosperous, which was unfavorable and covered the wealth of the nearby villages. If you want to accumulate wealth, you must change the name of the place with water. Water is wealth and gas. Nearby Qukou, Pingtan, Xiaxi and Jiangcun all have water, so the name of Yuqiao has to be changed. It took a lot of thought for the name. Later, an old man thought of Weihe River, an important tributary of the Yellow River Basin, which flows through the ancient capital Xi'an and has the air of emperor. So he proposed: how about Wei bridge? Everyone said "yes". From then on, "Yuqiao" was officially changed to "Weiqiao". Weiqiao, a village named after the bridge, is becoming more and more popular. With many shops and liquor shops, it has formed a long old street and become one of the important markets in xiuxi.

Shimen Temple site

. It is said that in the four years of the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, Huizhou governor Weishi built Shimen temple here. Now the temple no longer exists, but the holes dug in the rocks for erecting beams and columns are still clearly visible. Looking face to face, the inscription of "Fu Shou Kang Ning" on the huge stone wall is the most prominent. A little bit of the word "Fu" is omitted, but the image is true, reflecting the ancient Huizhou people's philosophy of "Fu Bu Lu tou". The whole cliff is formed by the crimson Danxia landform, which is about 10 feet high and 100 meters wide. There are stone inscriptions on the top of the cliff. Because it belongs to the Qiyun mountain range, the ancients called Qiyun "tiankaishenxiu" and Yunyan "eternal wonder", which means that this scene is comparable to Qiyun. There is a spring under the cliff, which drips water every day. There are two streams of water in the crevice. It flows into the East round pool in spring and summer, and into the west square pool in autumn and winter. It has not dried up for many years, which is a wonder. It's like being in a fairyland. You can think about everything and don't think about anything in the peaceful mountains. there are countless ancient poems and inscriptions on the rocks, all of which praise the scene and express the feelings. Looking from the site of Shimen temple, there is a natural stone bridge hanging in the sky like a huge rainbow. Through the stone cave, a mountain suddenly emerges, like a Jade Rabbit pounding the moon. This is a unique place in the world

Shiqiaoyan

. The arch height of the bridge is 26 meters, the span is 45 meters, and the top width is 12 meters. According to geological research, the large-scale stone bridge is a miracle in Danxia landform. There are three "Tiansheng bridges" in the world, and the other two are distributed in Liping County, Yungui area, Utah, USA. Yunyan stone bridge wins because of its mountain peaks and natural scenery. Fang Han, a native of Qimen, has a poem praising "the stone bridge drives a rainbow and the cave is like the moon". Under the bridge, there is a inscription on the cliff: "the two mountains are connected by a ring, and there are road beams and stones in it. Since heaven and earth can open this secret, I come to know that the face is famous." it shows that the beautiful scenery of Yunyan is worthy of the name. It is said that Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong once visited Jiangnan, but now the relics have been destroyed. Xu Xiake, a great tourist, also visited the scenic spots three times. standing under the bridge, my thoughts are surging, history is changing, time is changing, the stars are changing, the beautiful scenery is still there, my old friend is gone, but the sigh of visiting fairyland is so similar. No matter with sad or happy, or sad or happy mood, when you leave, you will be purified, all worldly thoughts, gratitude and resentment will go with the wind, some are just broad-minded and relieved. Down the mountain, back to the boat, the lake water due to the mountain detour and piled up into a dendritic surface, the boat in the middle of the passage, there are water waves around, a handful
