1. What historical sites are there in Shaoyang?
Wugang Flower Pagoda Scenic Area: One is plain in color and stands slightly slanted on Yuntai Ridge. This is the Flower Pagoda; Wugang originally had two There are two towering ancient pagodas, one in dark color, standing solemnly on the bank of Zishui. That is the East Pagoda. The two towers are about one mile apart, almost as close as each other, adding a lot of beauty to the ancient city of Duliang.
The Wugang Flower Tower is as famous as the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy. The flower tower is 30.5 meters high and has an inclination of 6.22°. Legend has it that it was a brother and sister who built the Flower Pagoda and the East Pagoda, so the two towers are collectively called the "Brother and Sister Pagoda". The elder brother built the east tower, and the younger sister built the flower tower. The two towers face each other and compete with each other, each with its own merits. But the color of the East Tower is not as gorgeous as the Flower Tower, and the posture is not as beautiful as the Flower Tower. The brother who built the East Tower became inexplicably jealous, so he came to Yuntai Ridge and kicked the flower tower bitterly. The flower tower tilted from then on. Unexpectedly, this kick only made the flower tower even worse. Graceful and graceful, it adds to the beauty of leaning forward.
Of course, this is a legend. In fact, the flower tower was born much earlier than the east tower. "Wugang Prefecture Chronicle" records: "There is Sizhou Tower, also known as East Tower, outside the east gate. It was built in the first year of Song Yuanfeng (1078)." The "Sizhou Tower" and "East Tower" here are flower towers. The East Tower (Lingyun Tower) was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (1829). The Flower Pagoda is more than 750 years older than the East Pagoda!
The Flower Tower has exquisite architectural skills and exquisite mural art. The flower pagoda has seven floors. Each floor has short eaves and high wing corners. The eaves have different configurations and patterns among the seven floors. The tower has eight sides, each of which is covered with white mud and decorated with magnificent and colorful murals. "Wugang Prefecture Chronicle" said that "the calligraphy and painting are good and exquisite." Birds and beasts, towers and pavilions, plants and flowers, Bodhisattvas and immortals, and lingering auspicious clouds are all lifelike. Looking from a distance, they seem to be wrapped in seven colorful ribbons. Perhaps this is how it got its reputation as a flower tower.
Wei Yuan’s former residence scenic spot: Wei Yuan’s former residence is located in Xuetangwan Village, Simenqian Town, Longhui County. In April 1794, Wei Yuan, a famous patriotic thinker, historian and writer in modern Chinese history, was born here.
Baoqing’s Twelve Scenic Areas: One or two clear autumn moons. Shuangqing Qiuyue Scenic Area is located on Dianzhuji on Shuangqing Road. It is a comprehensive scenic area composed of natural landscapes such as Diaizhuji and Gaomiaotan, as well as cultural landscapes such as ancient temples, ancient pavilions, and ancient inscriptions. It is named "Shuangqing" because it is located at the confluence of Zijiang River and Shaoshui River. In 1956, it was established as Shuangqing Park. Dizhuji is a tall and steep mountain in the shape of a peninsula extending into the middle of the Zijiang River. The rocks are rugged and the cliffs are towering. The Gaomiao Pond at your feet is full of turbulent blue waves, and the scenery is back to the Qing Dynasty. The peak was originally unknown. In February of the seventeenth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1538), Gu Gao, governor of Huguang, saw that it was "very strange when washed by water", so he named it "Dizhuji" and added five rhymes: "A roll of stone in Kunlun, flying On the lips of the falling green river, the quiet sun floats and the air floats. Standing here in the middle of the stream, the towers hang over the cliffs, the peaches and plums are dotted in the spring, and you can see the wild colors. Why do you need to ask the water god? "Deng Ji, the prefect of Baoqing, once carved a stone on the mainstay of Jitou, which is now lost. 2. What are the most famous places of interest in Shaoyang?
Shaoyang City, historically known as "Baoqing", is an ancient city with a history of more than 2,000 years. Zijiang River and Shaoshui River intersect and pass through the city.
Shaoyang City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery and rich tourism resources. There is the Danxia Landform Shanshan Scenic Area, which is known as "the best landscape in Guilin"; there is the Jiangnan grassland scenery of the Eighty Mile Nanshan; there is Wugang Yunshan, one of the 72 Buddhist sites in the country; there is the Suining Huangmulberry Nature Reserve, a primitive secondary forest. district.

Among them are the Shuangqing Pavilion, which is located on Diji River in Zijiang, facing the North Tower on the Jiajiang River. There are clouds and bells passing through the forest, and the moon moves the shadow of the tower across the river. The Peach Blossom Dongting Lake and the bottomless pit have unique structures. It has an underground undercurrent and is full of fun.
(1) The East Tower stands on the East Tower Mountain on the left side of People’s Square in Baoqing City. A Feng Shui tower was built here in the Tang Dynasty, but was destroyed by military disasters during the Five Dynasties.
It was rebuilt in the first year of Jianyan (1127) by Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, but was later destroyed by soldiers. The construction of this pagoda began in the 14th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1834). It reached the fourth level but was interrupted due to the war.
It was continued until the first year of Tongzhi (1862) and completed in the 13th year of Tongzhi. The East Tower is 27 meters high. Due to the high terrain, it looks towering into the clouds and is very spectacular.
The tower has seven floors and eight sides. The inside of the tower is very spacious and can accommodate a hundred people. There is a door on the bottom floor and two stone spiral staircases that circle around the tower and can reach the top of the tower. Climb to the top of the tower, look out the window, and have a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers.
The bustling city is full of high-rise buildings. After two repairs in 1965 and 1982, the East Tower has been listed as a key cultural relic protection unit at the municipal level.
The Municipal People's Government has designated this place as "East Tower Park". Covering an area of ??105 acres, the park has a south gate, facing the square, with a triangular pavilion built inside the gate. In memory of the famous General Cai E, the "Genyin Village" tea house was established.
The north gate faces the north tower, overlooking the Zijiang River. A riverside pavilion is built. The park is well-proportioned and beautiful, with trees everywhere, making it a fascinating tourist attraction. (2) Shuangqing Pavilion is known as one of the "Twelve Scenic Spots of Baoqing". It was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and is small and exquisite.
The double-layered eaves are carved with birds and animals, and the vermilion pillars are dazzling in the sun. Shuangqing Pavilion is like a beautiful, charming and graceful girl, standing high on the cliff on the south bank of Zijiang River.
For hundreds of years, countless poets and poets have been fascinated by her charming grace and have written countless psalms of praise for her. Ming Dynasty poet Li Qing's "Visiting Shuangqing Pavilion" illustrates the geographical beauty of Shuangqing Pavilion. The poem writes: "The sky is open in Shuangqing, the green water and green mountains are splashing brightly, the wind blows into the forest and shakes the phoenix tail, and the clouds move the pine laurels. It is in the shape of a dragon; looking at the Hengyue Mountain, sitting leisurely and looking at the Dongting, seeing off guests like a cloud crown, raising a cup to say goodbye."
Wei Yuan, a famous modern thinker who was born in Shaoyang, called Shuang. Qing Pavilion is: "The island is choked by two streams, and the river is covered with smoke." Cai E, an important figure in the Revolution of 1911 and a pioneer of the democratic revolution, also left poems chanting in Shuangqing Pavilion.
Double clear, double-layered eaves are carved with birds and animals, and the vermilion columns and beams are dazzling in the sun. The Shuangqing Pavilion and the North Tower are far apart from each other, with a bay of clear water flowing through the middle, giving it a unique charm.
As dusk falls, the shadows of boats, pavilions and towers are reflected in the water, making the scenery particularly charming. Zhao Lan, governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, titled this beautiful scene "Shuangqing Shenglan". Xu Xiaosong, a poet in the late Qing Dynasty, also wrote a couplet praising it: "The clouds carry the sound of bells through the trees, and the moon moves the shadow of the tower across the river."
This couplet is extremely neat, the scene is vivid and contagious, and it has become a popular couplet through the ages. (3) Liuling refers to the six mountains of Tianchi, Tiezhu, Wangxian, Liuyi, Bajiao and Lutou (also known as Qizhen) in the southeast corner of the old city of Shaoyang.
In the Song Dynasty, a pavilion was built on the top of each of the six ridges, named Xiuguyaguan Pavilion, Cangxue Hanbi Pavilion, Chuwang Pavilion (also known as Wangxian Pavilion), and Xinggang Pavilion (also known as Liuyi Pavilion). ) Danjing Pavilion and Yuechi Pavilion were later ruined. In the twelfth year of Jiading (1219), Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bao, the magistrate of Shaozhou, rebuilt it on the old site and built a town side tower between the six pavilions.
Mention Mao Xian's "Record of the Zhenbian Building" and praise the ingenious layout of the six pavilions and the Zhenbian Building. Zhao Yun, Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty, once wrote two plaques for the scenic spot: "Overview of the Country and the Mountains" and "Wonderful Views of the Misty Rain", but they no longer exist.
Standing on these pavilions, you can overlook Shimen and Baiyun peaks in the distance, which are green and picturesque; nearby, you can overlook the Zi and Shao rivers, which are full of green light. Especially when early spring comes, the bamboos turn green with the rain, the peaches turn red with the wind, the thin willows light up the smoke, and the orioles and swallows chirp. It is a wonderful place to find spring in the city, so it is called "Spring Color in the Six Ridges".
(4) Shuifu Temple is located at the confluence of Zi and Shao rivers. It was first built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, rebuilt during the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and again during the Daoguang period. There is a theater building on the river bank in front of the temple. Every year, the temple fair is held to pray to gods and sing operas, which is a great success.
There are three characters "Half into the Clouds" inscribed on the forehead of the theater, and there is an original couplet on both sides: The masterful hands are empty, one flicks the autumn water and one flicks the moon; the lingering sound curls up, half into the river wind and half into the clouds. There is a gathering couplet in the dressing room behind the stage, which says: This has always been the case through the ages; light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate.
(5) Cao Po Well is a mythical well. According to legend, a woman named Cao Po once made wine from the water in this well and opened a shop. A group of people often came to the shop to drink, and Cao Po treated him very well. When the Taoist left Shaoyang, he threw a pill into the well water, and all the water in the well turned into wine. From then on, Cao Po became rich.
Later the Taoist came back to Shaoyang and asked about the situation. Grandma Cao replied: "The water can be sold as wine, but there is no lees to feed the pigs." The Taoist thought that she was greedy and said with a smile: "The sky is not high. , people's hearts are so high that they sell the well water as wine, and they also say that the pigs have no troughs. "
Because he threw another pill into the well, the well water no longer turned into wine. This story is widely circulated, and is included in the county annals. All are recorded. The story is allegorical and profound in content, so it is appreciated by everyone.
Now the well water is still gurgling out, clear and dust-free. (6) The Fairy Well is located on the Zijiang River in Xiwai Street. There is an ancient fairy well, also known as Yunquan. According to legend, He Xiangu, the only woman among the Eight Immortals, passed by this place and saw that the water mouth of the well was like a pillar, cold to the bone, and the water was sweet. It is crystal clear, so I drink the water here.
The Immortal Ancient Well is divided into three floors, the first floor is for drinking, the second floor is for washing and washing vegetables, and the third floor is for carrying ladles and pouring vegetables. There is a stele on the stone wall on the first floor, and the four characters "Ancient Immortal Well" are engraved on it. The calligraphy is elegant and filled with vermilion, which is very eye-catching. Water flows out of the stone wall and is as thick as the mouth of a tea cup. When it falls into the well, it gurgls like the clear sound of a piano.
The water quality is fragrant and translucent, as if it has the fragrance left by a fairy. Residents and tourists from nearby villages are all proud of the ancient fairy well and linger here. It is said that drinking the water from the fairy well regularly can keep you healthy and live a long life. Recently due to unfavorable factors such as running water and building community, Xian. 3. There are some famous places in Shaoyang, such as historical sites, construction, and specialties. I’ll write them in detail.
The scenery in Shaoyang is very beautiful, including Xinning Mountain, Nanshan Mountain in Chengbu, and Xinshao Mountain. Baiyun Mountain, Yunshan Mountain in Suining, Jiulong Ridge, Liuguang Ridge in Shaodong, etc., are all stunningly beautiful with lakes and mountains. When it comes to the development of tourism resources, they are not inferior to other scenic spots, such as rafting and rock climbing, which are popular nowadays. These scenic spots have been established, and the most rare thing is that it is a large and well-protected scenic area. The Zijiang River nourishes the lush vegetation in this area. The beautiful mountains and clear waters reveal the original freshness and pleasantness. It's just that the people of Shaoyang still lack the icing on the cake - awareness of propaganda, so not many people know about Shaoyang in Hunan. Instead, when Hunan is mentioned, they focus on Zhangjiajie and Shaoshan. It's a pity, but it also has advantages. When one day there are so many tourists here, the economy may have improved, and what will be left to us hometown people will be the destruction of the natural scenery.
In the past few years, I have been to many scenic spots in East China, including the shores of Taihu Lake, the popular Grand Canyon in Western Zhejiang, Zhoushan, etc. I often stay in resorts, but for me I always feel that it is not as good as the mountains and water in my hometown. Just because of the good publicity, city dwellers who are tired of living in the city are willing to go to these resorts to relax and return to nature. Speaking of the strange, beautiful and dangerous scenery, , there is still some gap compared with our Shaoyang. This is also caused by the geographical environment. Shaoyang’s special geographical location and part of the karst landform make the scenic spot famous for its dangers and wonders. I still remember that when I went to Chengbu in 1998, the locals took me to a cave, which was very similar to the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin. What was even more surprising was that there was a bamboo raft inside, which was very dangerous. It's very urgent, and the height of the cave is amazing. At the lowest point, people have to lie on their backs on the boat and watch the rocks above slide away from the tip of the nose. It is really thrilling. After experiencing that cave adventure, many caves in recent years have been mentioned. It doesn't interest me. It's just a medium-sized cave with some rocks formed by the terrain. The tour guide will tell you what this piece looks like and what that piece looks like. Walking around can be considered as seeing one. Attractions.
There are a lot of things to eat in Shaoyang. The food here mainly refers to special things. Pig blood meatballs are a local specialty. Baoqing pig blood meatballs are quite famous. In the past two years, a company in Shaoyang has packaged it as a product and sold it to the outside world. I have also bought it in Changsha, but since I came to Nanjing, I have never seen it on the supermarket shelves in Nanjing. I have been thinking about when it will be like this. Nanjing's salted duck and Changsha's stinky tofu are equally famous, and Shaoyang is also known to everyone. I remember when I was a child, my mother always bought a lot of watery tofu from the countryside, then mixed it with pig blood and meat paste to make a paste, and then kneaded each into balls, put them in a bamboo sieve, and asked me to take them to the roof to dry them in the sun. It can be eaten in the winter after being smoked, cut into slices, and stir-fried with local chopped chilies. It is extremely delicious.
In fact, when it comes to delicious food, there are a lot of them, like rice noodles. Friends who have been to Shaoyang must know that there is a large beef noodle restaurant in a Hui canteen not far from Qinglong Bridge. The taste is absolutely authentic. Shaoyang's rice noodles have always been a local staple food, with a variety of toppings, including fried tofu, zhaicai (same pronunciation, pickled vegetables in a jar), sour radish, and pig's feet. Shaoyang’s rice noodles have always been our favorite, but it’s a pity that you can’t eat rice noodles with this flavor in other places now.
There are also many famous vegetables such as day lily (scientific name daylily), mandarin orange (Shaoyang once held a mandarin orange festival), Cigu (scientific name water chestnut), Wugang stewed vegetables, bracken, etc. In addition to these common specialties, there are also some lesser-known ones, such as the Camellia oleifera grown in the southwest region of Shaoyang on the border with Guangxi. This Camellia oleifera is different from ordinary Camellia oleifera in that it tastes very particular. The main ingredients of the tea alone are There are dozens of kinds, so the moment the fragrance comes out of a building, you will know that you have a distinguished guest. In addition, it comes with a lot of supplements and snacks, and you can often eat it until your belly becomes round without even realizing it. This tea is used by the locals to entertain distinguished guests, and it is not easy to make. Besides the tea, there is also a story that if a local woman falls in love with a guest, she will put poison in the oil tea given to him. This voodoo is so powerful that after being hit by it, there is no other way unless she can untie it herself. The purpose of setting the voodoo is not to leave her. This move is very cruel. I often think that maybe the woman who played the poison did not think about the chaos of today's society. There are almost no women as chaste as her. Nowadays, love usually only cares about what you once had. For this Such an infatuated woman, this kind of poison is really a wonderful way to tie up a man's heart.
Speaking of Shaoyang, we cannot fail to mention the people of Shaoyang. The people of Shaoyang have strong personalities, can fight hard and dare to venture, and value love and righteousness. This is also famous. In the past few years, Shaoyang people were too loyal and hot-tempered, resulting in many bloody incidents. In recent years, things have improved, but the deep-rooted spirit of Shaoyang people about daring to love and daring to hate remains unchanged. If you become friends with him, he will dig out his heart for you. If you cheat on him, he will not forgive you lightly. Especially Shaoyang women, with fierce personalities, strong on the outside and soft on the inside. When they are angry, they will scold and chop their heads off without blinking an eye, but when they are happy, they are tender and considerate. It really makes you love and hate it.
Of course, my impression of Shaoyang is not that complete. There are still many beautiful memories left deep in my heart. In short, there are always so many beautiful places in my hometown in my heart. I only regret that I cannot write brilliantly. , inform the world. 4. What scenic spots are there in Shaoyang, Hunan?
