Lutun Stone Archway
Lutun still has three well-preserved stone archways built in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. It is a landmark building in the heyday of Lutun's economic and cultural development. In 1985, it was approved by the Provincial People's Government as a provincial key cultural relic protection unit. It is a typical representative of "Tunbao Culture" in southwestern Guizhou.
"Li Rulan's mother's centenary square" was built in the 18th year of Daoguang (1839 AD).
"Li Jinzhang Centennial Square" was built in the 25th year of Daoguang (1846 AD).
"Huang Jianxun's mother Li's Jiexiaofang" was built in the 19th year of Daoguang (1840 AD).
The three archways are all built with four pillars, three doors and five floors. The structure is riveted and tenoned, and the square base is strong. The height of the square body is 7 meters each, and the bottom of the square is a waist-girdling Xumi base. There are stubborn lions protecting the drums under the stone pillars, and various ancient mythological stories are embossed on the drum surfaces, such as "Chang'e flying to the moon", "Zhongming chasing deer", "Kilin playing with cranes", and "Wu Gang conquering Gui". There is a 2.5-meter-long stone plaque in the middle of the first floor of the stone archway, with the words "Gate of Zhenshou", "Zhizhi Bingzhi", "Jiebi Songcao", "Prosperity to people", "Auspiciousness to country" and other characters. There are couplets on the doorposts of each archway, and these plaques are exquisite pieces of calligraphy. Integrating calligraphy and seal cutting into one furnace. The calligraphy strokes are powerful and unrestrained, like running clouds and flowing water, with the potential to flow thousands of miles; the dignified parts are like the force of a thousand pounds, and the strength of penetrating a stone back, which has a high sense of aesthetics and art. The third floor is inlaid with three grids of stone pillars as thick as a bowl, with the word "Imperial Edict" inlaid in the middle. Stone pillars with "Two Dragons Grabbing Treasures" carved on both sides of the square plaque are guarding it. The second floor is carved with "Golden Toad Spinning Silk". The corners of the archways are inlaid with "fish tails". The top of the three archways is engraved with the word "Shou" in large and small seal scripts, which looks like an old man stroking his beard and smiling to himself, which has a high artistic sense.
Lutun Yanzi Cave
Lutun Yanzi Cave is a magical cave discovered by the people of the ancient town in recent years. It is located in the Yanshang Formation of Qiyi Village, five kilometers away from the town government. Yanzi Cave is hundreds of meters deep. There are caves in the caves, mountains in the caves, and under the mountains there are Yintan and underground rivers. The clear water is unfathomable.
The cave has a "grand hall" that can accommodate about a thousand people; a "fairy field" with intertwined streets; an "intermittent dripping bell" with twelve stems; and a "Qin Qiong Double Stone Mace" with a rich human touch There is the legendary "tortoise and the hare"; there is the ebb and flow of the tide that is similar to the "wonders of Qiantang"; there is a pair of daunting "black and white impermanence"; there are countless strange stone flowers and stalagmites of different shapes.
Among these landscapes, the most magical thing is the ebb and flow of the tide that looks like the "Wonder of Qiantang" at the edge of the underworld. The Yintan is about 80 meters long and 30 meters wide. The water in the pool is crystal clear and the face of the Tan is like a mirror. When the tide rises, it's like thousands of troops roaring in, and the water in the pool surges several meters. After a slight dip, the tide recedes, and the water in the pool remains as calm as ever. This is a rare magical landscape in China and a magnificent tourism pearl given to the ancient town by nature.
Ancient Tombs
Lutun was an important town of Tunpu culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are countless Tunpu cultural relics. In addition to the stone archway, the most famous preserved cultural relics are also little-known. The most important thing is the tombs of Qianhu commanders from the Ming Dynasty that have been discovered in recent years.
There are also some ancient tombs from the Qing Dynasty in the tomb area, with exquisite calligraphy and beautiful carvings. These ancient tombs have the same ornamental and artistic value as the Luoyang Terracotta Warriors and Horses. They are physical evidence of military culture and have greater High historical value.
Yanjiawan
After visiting Yanjiawan Reservoir, the poet Qiaosou wrote a seven-rhythm poem about his visit to Yanjiawan. It can be said that he wrote the scenery of Yanjiawan Reservoir. Three points into the wood: "Baima Mountain is high and white clouds are floating, and it is so relaxing in Yanjiawan. The green mountains are surrounded by Yingying water, and the clear water is filled with peaches. Wave whistles come among the green trees, and poles are played in the green wave lake. The most beautiful spring and autumn of the year, hand in hand holding poles Two kilometers west of Lutun, a picture of "surrounded by clouds and mountains, three sides by water, and half a mountain of peaches surrounded by clear water" is displayed before people's eyes. The reservoir can hold 1.1 million cubic meters of water. The water is sparkling all year round, and white cranes, wild ducks and mandarin ducks often swim in the lake. Yanjiawan is surrounded by distant mountains and surrounded by pine forests. The mountains are vast and picturesque, and their charming scenery and graceful grace add to the excitement of tourists.
Taking a boat to swim in the middle of the lake is even more interesting. The boat plows up a silver wave, and the water splashes up countless water splashes. Under the sunlight, it looks like broken silver, like shining stars, and is reflected in the lake. The green mountains in the water are trembling and swaying; the sound of oar alarms the fish, frightens the white cranes to fly, and the white clouds and dogs come and go, forming a vivid picture of the harmonious coexistence of humans and animals. Between the sky and the water. In March of spring, benevolent people, wise people, mountain lovers, water lovers, and fishing enthusiasts all come to Yanjiawan Reservoir to enjoy the scenery, fish for carp, and appreciate the peach blossoms. From a distance, a large peach tree looks like a red cloud falling from the sky. From a closer look, it looks like clusters, clusters, and clusters of burning flames. It makes Yanjiawan extremely beautiful, with red clouds and bright reds in full bloom. The peach blossoms complement each other, and the mountains here are red and spectacular. Yanjiawan Reservoir, with its rippling blue waves, beautiful mountains, water and trees all year round, attracts countless tourists to spend summer and relax here. Someone said: "It is a pity that you went to Lutun, a 600-year-old town to see the stone archway, but did not go to see Yanjiawan." It is a pleasure to see the beauty of the water in Yanjiawan Reservoir. If there is a Baima Mountain opposite the Yanjiawan Reservoir, it is its soul. The hazy air on the top of the mountain rises up the mountainside for a while, and then flows into the empty valley. The misty clouds and mist are floating in the mountains. The misty clouds and the blue waves and green trees of the Yanjiawan Reservoir complement each other to create a picture of "the mountains are misty and rainy, the mountains are clear and the water is beautiful", which makes people miss it. Yanjiawan Reservoir is a tourist business card of Lutun Town, the Prince Charming in the hearts of the town people, and a good place for people to spend summer and have fun. It also has a confusing natural landscape of "divine turtles playing in the water", which is interesting for visitors to see. There is a tortoise grave beside the Yanjiawan Reservoir, as the locals call it. No one in the town can tell a single story about the owner of the tomb. The reason is that the turtle grave was buried next to a stream, which later flowed into a pond. Since then, the tortoise grave has been submerged in the water. During the dry season, only a small part of the tortoise's head can be seen above the water. When the water rises, the tortoise's head is submerged in the water. People in the town call it "the turtle playing in the water" because the reservoir has only been used for hundreds of years. I have done this twice, so it is difficult to see the wonderful sight of the turtle playing in the water.
