Sightseeing tour Dear tourists, we are about to start today's mountaineering journey. In order to reduce the intensity of your mountaineering, the scenic spot has prepared an environmentally friendly electric sightseeing tour bus for you. You can choose to take the tour bus directly to the Shennong Trail. Here, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to three things when climbing: first, pay attention to safety and follow the prescribed routes of the scenic area. Moreover, the scenic area is a special fire prevention area, so please leave the kindling you carry with you; second, pay attention to environmental protection. Please Throw waste into the trash can; third, pay attention to protecting animals and plants. Thank you all for your cooperation.
Yunyang Village Dear tourists, the first thing you have to pass when entering the scenic spot is Yunyang Village. It was first built in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and has been renovated many times in the past dynasties. The gate of the village is made of bluestone, with stone stacks and lookout holes at the top. In ancient times, Yunyang Village was a dangerous pass connecting Henan and Shanxi provinces, so it became a battleground for military strategists of all ages. When Li Longji, Emperor Ming Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, visited Shennong Mountain, he left a famous poem "Early Ascension to Taihang Mountain to express his ambitions". He wrote in the poem: "White mist buries the dark valley, and Danxia helps the dawn light." The artistic conception of this poem gives people the infinite reverie of the love between "white clouds" and "rising sun", so later generations named this place "Yunyang Village". The great calligrapher Wang Duo praised in "Huaizhou Diaogu": "To the north, the peaks and mountains arch Mengmen, and the shape of the wild king is better than that of Qinhe River."
The meaning of these two poems is: the undulating mountains in the north and the majestic Yunyang Village are facing each other. Looking at the land of Huaichuan in the distance, it is like the water of the Qin River in a state of chaos and mist. Among them, "Mengmen" refers to Yunyang Village Gate.
The descendants of Yan and Huang descendants now come to the altar of ancestor worship. The tall statue in the center is the ancestor of our mankind, Yandi Shennong. As you can see, it is surrounded by mountains, lush trees, and the Yunyang River runs through the left side of the ancestral altar like a jade belt. This is a rare Feng Shui treasure land. The entire ancestor worship altar is divided into three floors, which symbolizes the three realms of heaven, earth and man. The main altar has four climbing trails, which means there are four seasons in a year. There are three reliefs between each climbing trail, which means Each quarter has three months, and the 12 reliefs represent the 12 months in a year. The altar ring road on the bottom floor of the altar has 24 circles, which means the 24 solar terms. Each circle is paved with 365 pieces of bluestone, which means there are 365 days in a year. There are nine steps on the trail to climb the altar. "Nine" is the number, which represents the supreme status of the ancestor of the Shennong family. Yandi Shennong, together with Fuxi and Nuwa, were revered as the Three Emperors and the ancestors of the Chinese nation. They were worshiped and worshiped by people of all ages. Next, we will vividly understand the life and deeds of Emperor Yan Shennong through relief sculptures.
The Shennong statue in front of us is 9.9 meters high and weighs 29 tons. It is made of bronze. It is currently the largest bronze Shennong statue in China and can be called the first Shennong statue in China. It was designed under the guidance of Mr. Cao Chunsheng, a famous Chinese sculpture artist and professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and was contracted and produced by Beijing Xixiang Environmental Art Design Company. This statue shows the Yan Emperor Shennong's first born with two horns, holding grains in his hands, with a solemn, majestic and kind expression, as stable as Mount Tai, standing tall and tall as an emperor.
As the saying goes: If you touch Shennong’s feet, you will not need to take medicine for the rest of your life; if you hug Shennong’s legs, you will not be afraid of ghosts for the rest of your life. If you are interested, why don’t you give it a try?
Standing in front of Emperor Yan In front of Shennong, let us burn incense together: firstly, it is to express our respect for Yandi Shennong, and secondly, it is a blessing to the future generations of our Chinese nation. At the same time, I also wish everyone smooth work, healthy life, and all their wishes come true.
Dear friends, after the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties worshiped their ancestors at the Ancestral Temple of Yan and Huang, there is also the Shennong Temple of Heaven at the top of our scenic spot. What you see there will not be relief art, but a vivid performance of Shennong's worship of heaven. . Now please follow me on our mountain climbing trip
Yunyang Temple Dear tourists, after passing Yunyang Village, we have now come to Yunyang Temple and Qingjing Palace, which embody the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism. Why is it said that it embodies the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism? Because Yunyang Temple (Buddhism) and Qingjing Palace (Taoism) are only separated by a wall, which is quite rare among religious buildings in my country. Famous mountains and temples have been famous since ancient times, and Shennong Mountain is no exception. Yunyang Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and was originally called Shousheng Temple. In the first year of Zhongtong in the Yuan Dynasty, which was 1260 AD, Shengguo Temple was added. Yunyang Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the mountain terrain to ascend layer by layer. Four groups of buildings are arranged on a four-level platform with a height difference of 5 meters. In its heyday, the total construction area reached more than 20,000 square meters. It is a pity that many parts of the ancient Yunyang Temple have been destroyed by war, leaving only some ruins and ruins telling the vicissitudes of history. However, we can still see from the ruins the scale and prosperity of the incense at that time.
Qingjing Palace You see, to the east of Yunyang Temple is the Qingjing Palace. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and contains the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Three Emperors Pavilion, the Queen Mother Palace, etc. Its most special feature is that its architectural style breaks the axial symmetry of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, combines cave dwellings and pavilions, and uses all stone materials. It is a unique ancient architecture in the Central Plains. The most precious thing is that among the three beamless building complexes preserved in our country, Qingjing Palace is the only beamless building complex preserved from the Qing Dynasty.
Shennong Trail Dear tourists, the trail in front of you is paved with bluestone. Shennong Trail runs from Yunyang Temple through Xibeijian to Zijinding. It is a trail specially designed for tourists to climb. The trail is 3,000 meters long and has a total of 4,321 steps. The steps at the entrance are 99. This is because it is said that Emperor Yan Shennong traveled between heaven and earth through the 99 winding mountain road. The Chinese nation has been deeply influenced by Taoist thought since ancient times and believes that nine is the most auspicious number.
The construction of the Shennong Trail began in May 2000, with a planned construction period of one year. Due to the great attention paid by the leaders of the Qinyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, heavy investment and nationwide mobilization, the entire trail took only 5 years. It was all completed within a few months. A total of 160,000 pieces of bluestone were used for the Shennong Trail. In order not to damage the natural beauty of Shennong Mountain, all the stones were purchased from other places. Because the terrain of Shennong Mountain is relatively steep, the stones and other raw materials used cannot be transported directly by mechanical equipment. They are all carried manually. Therefore, the transportation cost alone is three times higher than the cost of raw materials, and the total investment reaches 8 million yuan. Therefore, the Shennong Trail is not an ordinary bluestone trail, but a "golden trail" paved with the hope and sweat of 440,000 people in Qinyang City. Walking on the Shennong Trail, at each level, you will feel the best wishes of the people of Qinyang for you, that is, come happily and return safely. Come on, friends, work hard, we are starting a new journey!
Dear visitors to the Eight Immortals Peak, from this position, everyone is looking in the direction of my finger. On the southeast slope of the Yunyang River, Yun On the upper right side of Yangzhai Gate, there are eight well-proportioned peaks turning around at dusk, facing the northeast in the shape of prostrations. Their unique mountain topography makes people daydream endlessly. They are the "Eight Immortals Peaks". According to legend, these eight peaks were transformed into the legendary "Eight Immortals". Legend has it that the "Eight Immortals" once visited the Grand Supreme Lord Li Er at Purple Gold Summit. They couldn't see each other because Li Er had not returned from his travels. When they were about to leave the Yunyang River, they discovered that there was a trace of the old gentleman on the top of Dongshan Mountain, and they immediately disappeared. He turned around to worship, so these eight peaks formed the landscape of "Eight Immortals Worshiping Ancestors". Especially around sunrise, the east mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, the purple air rises, and the Eight Immortals Peak becomes even more vivid and vivid. So, where is the Supreme Laojun whom the Eight Immortals worship? Don’t be anxious, let us move forward and see you under the Gong and Drum Pavilion.
Gong and Drum Pavilion As the saying goes: It is natural to listen to gongs and drums under the Gong and Drum Pavilion. This is the best place to listen to the sound of gongs and drums. Now, when we look down the east cliff from here, the cave we see is the Gong and Drum Cave, and the sound of gongs and drums comes from that cave. It is said that on New Year's Eve every year, along with the sound of firecrackers, people passing by here can hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the cave, so people call this cave Gongs and Drums Cave.
Laojun Peak Just now we saw the "Eight Immortals Peak" and listened to a story about "Eight Immortals Worshiping Ancestors". Now you can see Laojun Peak from here. Under Dongshan Mountain, the solitary peak that looks like a human but not a human, an immortal but not an immortal, is "Laojun Peak".
Dear visitors to Hutou Mountain, on the south side of the Eight Immortals Peak and on the upper right side of Yunyang Village, a huge stone resembles a half-crouching tiger. It is majestic and looks like a tiger. It looks like Yunyang Village. It is a natural "gatekeeper god" and is like a mighty "mountain-preserving tiger", guarding the mountain pass road and Yunyang Village gate day and night. The local people call it "Hutoushan".
The second scene section: Gong and Drum Pavilion? Fuxi Hall
The Wedding Stone There is a special stone in the river at the bend of the Yunyang River. The local people call it "Hexi" Wedding Stone". It is a seemingly ordinary stone, but it has a bizarre legend: It is said that in ancient times, the world was full of wilderness, thousands of households were extinct, and only two brothers and sisters, Fuxi and Nuwa, were left in the world. In order to reproduce future generations and create human beings, Fuxi proposed to marry Nuwa. Nuwa did not agree with anything: "There is no reason for brother and sister to get married." But after thinking about it carefully, there was no good way, so she said, "As long as it is consistent with God's will." , if the weather conditions are favorable, we will get married." But what does it mean to be in accordance with God's will? Nuwa proposed to light two piles of mountain fires on the east and west mountains. If the green smoke can be combined together, it will be considered to be in accordance with God's will. So Fuxi went to the top of the west mountain and Nuwa went to the top of the east mountain. They each picked up a pile of firewood and lit it. They saw two puffs of green smoke rising up. Suddenly a whirlwind blew and stirred the two puffs of smoke together. , entwining each other above the Yunyang River Valley, soaring into the sky. God's will is clear, it's Xia Shun's turn. Nuwa also proposed rolling stones from the top of the mountain down the mountain. If the stones rolled down can be combined together, it will be considered a smooth descent. The two climbed to the top of the mountain again and pushed two large rocks down the mountain at the same time.
The rocks stepped on the slopes and flew into the rocks, colliding at the bottom of the river, making a loud rumbling sound, and joined together firmly. So Fuxi said to Nuwa: "This time the geography is in harmony, we should get together, right?" Fuxi, Nuwa then united and became husband and wife. To commemorate this event, people called the boulder they rolled down the valley the "Wedding Stone." According to local elders, as long as unmarried men and women hold hands and step on the stone side by side and walk over it, they will surely get married happily and grow old together in the future. This stone is still preserved at the bottom of the Yunyang River Valley. There is a blue pattern in the middle, with a dragon pattern on one side and a snake pattern on the other, representing Fuxi and Nuwa respectively.
Fuxi Peak After walking through the Gong and Drum Pavilion, the towering peak in front of us is Fuxi Peak. Friends, Fuxi Peak looks like a huge rock and a mountain peak. It rises from the ground and stands tall and majestic. It shows a kind of masculine beauty. According to legend, Fuxi is the ancestor of mankind, so it is also called the Ancestral Peak. According to historical records, emperors such as Emperor Xuanzong, Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Qianlong, as well as celebrities such as Li Shangyin, Han Yu, and He Tang, all came here to pay homage to our ancestors and left many eternal quatrains.
Nuwa Cave As the saying goes: By chance, there is a feminine and beautiful Nuwa Cave beside the masculine and majestic Fuxi Peak. Nuwa Cave is a natural cave halfway up Nuwa Peak. The cave is in the shape of a snake, getting smaller and thinner from the outside to the inside. It winds deep into the mountain, and its depth is unfathomable. If Fuxifeng shows a kind of male beauty, then Nuwa Cave shows people a kind of female beauty. The shape of yin and yang is naturally interesting, symbolizing the source of human life and arousing people's endless imagination. There is also a legend about Nuwa Cave. It is said that Nuwa, the mythical goddess with the head of a human and the body of a snake, was born and lived here. Due to people's reverence and longing for the continuation of life, some local men and women who have been infertile for many years often come here to pray for a starter.
The stone below the clone stone platform, which is about 1 meter square in length, width and height, is relatively smooth and flat on the surface, but it has countless striped cracks distributed vertically and horizontally, as if it had been chopped with a knife. There are traces of it, and the locals call it the "Clone Stone". According to legend, after Fuxi and Nuwa finally got married, they fully expected to have children and reproduce the human race. But they never thought that Nuwa would be pregnant for ten months and give birth to a fleshy egg. Nuwa was so sad that she threw the eggs on the stone, picked up the stone knife and chopped it into minced meat. Then she put down the knife and turned back to the cave to cry loudly. At this time, two golden phoenixes suddenly flew in from a distance and chased away the fleshy foam one by one. These two golden phoenixes flew to the east, dropped some meat foam, and then flew to the west and dropped some more. In this way, a full ninety-nine and eighty-one days passed, and these meat foam gathered the aura of heaven and earth, receiving the sun and the moon. The essence of his body suddenly turned into a human being. Since then, the world has been prosperous and full of vitality. It turns out that this phoenix was sent down by God. The flesh foam scattered by the male phoenix turned into men. They were all tall and strong, standing tall and tall. The flesh foam sprinkled by the female phoenix turned into women. , all of them are beautiful, graceful, and clever. Nuwa was very happy after seeing it. Later, people named the stone that Nuwa used to chop meat and eggs "Clone Stone".
Doll Farm Friends, our current location is the "Doll Farm". There is also a touching legend about its origin. Legend has it that after getting married, Fuxi and Nuwa wanted to make mankind the master of all things, but how many children could Nuwa alone have? They fell into deep sorrow. Suddenly, one night, Nuwa had a dream, and she dreamed that God said to her: "You don't have to worry, you can dig some loess, mix it with the Yunyang River water, and knead the soil to create a human being." Wa asked Fuxi to prepare a piece of flat land in front of the mountain, dig some loess, scoop up some Yunyang River water and mix it into mud, and then began to shape the clay figures. Nuwa made many clay figures according to her and Fuxi's looks. She put the clay figures to dry on the land that Fuxi had prepared. After 7749, all the clay figurines were alive. So, Nuwa separated the men and women, and paired them according to their respective appearances, the pretty ones with the handsome ones, the tall ones with the tall ones.
God learned that Nuwa matched people according to their handsomeness and ugliness, and hurriedly sent the gods of wind, rain, thunder and lightning down to earth to talk to Nuwa for reasoning. Unexpectedly, they misunderstood that "reasoning" meant "being rained on", so they rushed all the way with lightning and thunder, and the violent storm. Come. Seeing the sudden change in the weather, Nuwa hurriedly collected the clay figures into the cave. In the panic, she mixed together the clay figures that were handsome, ugly, tall, short, fat and thin. Some clay figures had their arms broken, their legs broken, and their legs were crooked. Since then, people with congenital disabilities have appeared in the world, and marriages in the world have also changed the habit of marrying based on appearance. In order to commemorate Nuwa's achievements in shaping human beings from clay, people called this place the Doll Field.
Look at the Chinese Mother Stone. There is a colorful boulder on the platform under Fuxi Peak. The pattern formed on it is that Fuxi and Nuwa, the ancestors of mankind, are holding a map of China, so people call it Chinese Mother Stone. There is also a beautiful legend about its origin. Legend has it that after the snail created humans, humans slowly multiplied. They picked wild fruits, hunted wild beasts, and lived a carefree life. Suddenly one day, a thunderbolt flashed from the sky, followed by an earth-shaking loud noise, and a large hole suddenly opened in the sky. Heavy rain poured down, flooding the fields and villages, and in the blink of an eye, the ground turned into a vast ocean. Nuwa saw people crying and running for their lives, so she decided to mend the cracks in the sky. Nuwo, carrying a mountain-chopping ax on her back, collected red sandstone from Dongshan, white jade from Xishan, and other three colors of stone from Nanshan, Beishan, and Zhongshan, and put them together into the furnace. After ninety-nine and eighty-one days, multicolored stones were finally made that were exactly the same color as the sky. Nuwa used these multicolored stones to patch up the cracks in the sky. The heavy rain stopped, the floods receded, and people lived a comfortable life again. According to legend, this strangely colored boulder is the remaining colorful stone after Nuwa mended the sky.
Fuxi Palace This palace under Fuxi Peak is dedicated to the ancestors of mankind, Fuxi and Nuwa, and is called "Fuxi Palace". The original Fuxi Hall was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was entirely made of stone. In 2002, the scenic spot invested more than 1 million yuan to build the large-scale Fuxi Hall we see now, which included the original Fuxi Hall and formed a unique hall within the hall. There is another story about the origin of Fuxi Palace. Legend has it that there used to be Fuxi Cave under Fuxi Peak. Fuxi and Nuwa were united in the cave, and this is how human beings passed down the world. It is said that a childless couple who stays in Fuxi Cave for a period of time will feel the earth's energy and become pregnant. During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, a couple had been married for more than 20 years and had no children, so they moved from their hometown of Heyang to live next to Fuxi Cave. A year later, they actually gave birth to a fat boy. In order to express their gratitude and fulfill their vows, they dug a hole in the rock and built the Fuxi Hall, an all-stone structure, as a memorial.
Qingge Terrace Friends, there are three corridors next to Nuwa Cave. It is said that Nuwa once sang loudly here, hence the name: Qingge Terrace. Standing on the Qingge stage and singing, the accompaniment of gongs and drums will be heard from the gong and drum cave, and the green mountains on all sides will sing in harmony, and the singing will be in the mountains

Yunyang Temple Dear tourists, after passing Yunyang Village, we have now come to Yunyang Temple and Qingjing Palace, which embody the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism. Why is it said that it embodies the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism? Because Yunyang Temple (Buddhism) and Qingjing Palace (Taoism) are only separated by a wall, which is quite rare among religious buildings in my country. Famous mountains and temples have been famous since ancient times, and Shennong Mountain is no exception. Yunyang Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and was originally called Shousheng Temple. In the first year of Zhongtong in the Yuan Dynasty, which was 1260 AD, Shengguo Temple was added. Yunyang Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the mountain terrain to ascend layer by layer. Four groups of buildings are arranged on a four-level platform with a height difference of 5 meters. In its heyday, the total construction area reached more than 20,000 square meters. It is a pity that many parts of the ancient Yunyang Temple have been destroyed by war, leaving only some ruins and ruins telling the vicissitudes of history. However, we can still see from the ruins the scale and prosperity of the incense at that time.
Qingjing Palace You see, to the east of Yunyang Temple is the Qingjing Palace. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and contains the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the Three Emperors Pavilion, the Queen Mother Palace, etc. Its most special feature is that its architectural style breaks the axial symmetry of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, combines cave dwellings and pavilions, and uses all stone materials. It is a unique ancient architecture in the Central Plains. The most precious thing is that among the three beamless building complexes preserved in our country, Qingjing Palace is the only beamless building complex preserved from the Qing Dynasty.
