Further on, you enter the Little Wuling Gorge, which is more quiet. The mountains on both sides are like knives and axes, and the sky is just a curved white line. On the dripping rock wall, towering trees are born. You will take the mountain road, cross the Lutou Mountain at an altitude of 1.800 meters, and reach the upstream outlet of Wuling Gorge in Taoyuan Village. There are 12 families living in the village. I spent the night in the farmhouse at the top of the mountain. The next morning, I stood on the mountain and looked down at the bottom of the valley. Suddenly, the land is flat and spacious, and the house is like this. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds and mulberry trees, traffic jams, and chickens and dogs hear each other ... "
During the first year of Jin Dynasty described in Peach Blossom Garden, only Zhushan County today was called Wuling County on Chinese territory. Zhushan, called Wuling County in ancient times, belongs to Hanzhong County, which existed in the Qin Dynasty. During the Jin Dynasty, Wuling County was subordinate to Shang Yong County. The river blocked by Zhushan was originally called Wuling River, and the valley in the river is still called Wuling Gorge. In particular, the village at the entrance of the canyon is called Taohuayuan Village, which belongs to guandu town, Zhushan County; The village at the exit is called Taohuayuan Township, which belongs to Zhuxi County. Taohuayuan village or Taohuayuan township, the place name of Taohuayuan is not here now, but it has existed since ancient times. Moreover, we can find evidence from the story of "Tiexian Country" widely circulated in guandu town, Zhushan County. In recent years, some scholars have verified that The Story of Peach Blossom Garden and The Story of Tixian Country belong to the same theme. This story is described in the twelve volumes of Tai Ping Guang Ji. The story happened in the first year of Tang Zhongzong Shenlong. At that time, there was a rich man named Yin in Zhushan County. When he was digging a well in his backyard, he found a cave with another world hidden behind it. The world is "a thousand stones and valleys, but it is not beautiful." Stones are green and glazed, and there are gold and silver palaces in every ravine. There are big trees, such as knotted bamboo, banana-like leaves and disc-like purple flowers. Five-colored butterflies, with wings as big as fans, are dancing among the flowers. The colorful birds are as big as cranes, soaring on the branches. Every rock has a clear spring, the color is like a mirror; Bai Quan, white as milk ". One of the capitals is called "Tiexian Country", and this paradise is in Zhushan County.
Moreover, in The Peach Blossom Spring, it is said that after the Wuling fisherman came out of the Peach Blossom Spring, he told the county satrap about it, and the satrap sent someone to look for it. Later, Liu Ziji of Nanyang heard about it and went there happily. All failed. In ancient times, information was not smooth. From the analysis of this county, it must be close to Nanyang, so Liu Ziji in Nanyang will definitely hear about it. The only county adjacent to Nanyang is Shang Yong County. Therefore, it is more likely that Peach Blossom Garden will be in Zhushan. Taohuayuan people hid in the mountains to avoid the Qin chaos in Hanzhong County and Nanyang. This is an ancient battlefield, so people nearby will run to the hidden mountains nearby. The natural landscape here is more in line with Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, which is not easy to find. Even the locals who have lived nearby for generations rarely go in. No matter from landform or history and culture, Zhushan Peach Blossom Garden is more like a prototype.
