In the east of Xujiaya Township, south of Feixian County 15km, under the sunshine of Yuhuan Mountain, there is an ancient temple called Cong Baian, which was built in the 16th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1537) to the 37th year (1558). After the reconstruction, it took more than two years to set up the inscription of Cong Baian in Yuhuan Mountain, which is still there today. Until the Qing dynasty, it was rebuilt many times and was very detailed. There are Jade Emperor Hall, Mount Tai Hall, Guan Gong Hall, Lingguan Hall and God Palace in the temples. In the past hundred years, they have been repeatedly defeated and have fallen. There are cliffs near here, and dangerous rocks are falling. Surrounded by pines at the top and ginkgo biloba in the air at the bottom, the trees are dense and covered with moss, and the mountains are bright and blue, which makes people fascinated, so tourists from all ages have pushed this resort. There is a deep cave from the north of Baian, which can accommodate thousands of people. Half bright and half dark, arc dome, north and south doors, connected in the middle, with two-story skylight. In midsummer, it's chilly in the cave, so it's refreshing to take a nap inside. It's like a fairyland, famous for its fairy cave.
In the second year of tomorrow (1622), Zhang Sizhi, a university student of Wuyingtang, once spent the summer here, leaving behind a poem, "Why don't you go to Taoyuan to avoid Qin?". There is an ancient ginkgo tree in the temple, which is tall and straight, about 40 meters high, with a trunk diameter of 2 meters, lush foliage and numerous fruits. There is a well under the tree called "Xiangshui Spring". Warm in winter and cool in summer, clear as a mirror, known as the "ritual spring". The frogs in spring are bulging but very silent. The locals have the saying that "the toad in the fairy cave dries the drum". There is a small bridge below, called "Xianren Bridge". Then there is a fish pond called "Baguatang". On the footbridge, the reflection of the green hills and the rippling water in the pool are like driving a rainbow.
Along the road, there are 24 stone steps in front of the temple, about 5 meters wide, or walking slowly on it, or sitting leisurely, with a breeze blowing on your face and pleasant scenery. There is a poplar tree in the west, which is dry and healthy. It is as thick as the mouth of a jar and about 5 meters high. It looks like a tree crown, graceful and evergreen, full of green. To the west along the ditch, there is a stone like a screen, like a knife, about 6 meters high and 8 meters wide, which was written by Zhang Sizhi. Further down, there is a pond dam built in 1966, named Langchi. Every rainy season, when the water is full, willows hang on both sides, geese and ducks parade, kites fly and fish jump, reeds are overgrown, mountains and rivers are more beautiful, and vegetation is proud. Some people write two couplets to express their feelings. One of them is "kites fly fish and jump into the deep, and mountains and rivers hold benevolence and wisdom." Second, "the immortal cave is not old, and the water under Yuhuan Mountain often flows". There are many poems sung by literati in the past dynasties about the immortal cave. Only 65,438+00 poems written by Zhang Sizhi, Sun Panshi, Xue Nancun, Zhang Qiaonan, Wu Liancheng, Zhou, etc. in the Ming Dynasty have been handed down to this day. For nearly a hundred years, calligraphers Chen, Li Yicheng wrote here. After liberation, it became a tourist attraction for working people. Some scholars and experts came here to inspect. The ancient abode of fairies and immortals is often full of laughter.
The scenery is unique, and those boring ones, in detail, include pine trees hanging on the wall and ancient caves in fairyland; The winding path is secluded, and the rocks are four arches; Ginkgo biloba is tall and straight, cliffs and waterfalls, and mountains and sounds set each other off; Yuhuan wears high, and the sunset shines neon; The palaces are uneven and distinct; The overpass came back, and it disappeared; Cliff stone carvings, wonderful workmanship; It's interesting to be covered with snow. Up to 18 scenes. There are more wonders, not always visible, called "Buddha's Light". The so-called Buddha's light is a natural phenomenon after rain, similar to the rainbow in the sky, which is a semicircle halo formed close to the cliff. This phenomenon often occurs in the early morning or one night. It is a haze in the mountains, which is refracted by sunlight, and to some extent, there is a magical aura. The author has seen Buddha's light appear on the cliff of Xianren Cave many times, such as entering a fairyland, as if it were a lifetime ago. The fairy cave can only be seen vaguely, and the cliff is as bright as hanging color. Some people say that a person's image can be reflected in the Buddha's light at a proper distance. It can last for about 5 minutes, and then Fei Xia will be scattered, and the old scene will be restored. The second part is Snow Scene, which is the most fascinating. Because the cliffs here are towering, the cypresses cover the sky, the trees are lush, and the peaks are round; Whenever it snows heavily, it's all wrapped in silver, so don't have some unspeakable fun. It changes from time to time, from day to day, and the weather is different day and night. It's snowing, the sun is shining, the sun is rising, but the snowy day is brilliant. Branches are like clouds, cliffs are like ice jade. Lean less, the snow melts and the breeze blows, then the snow and smoke are everywhere, and the plume is considerable. In one day, the changes are endless. If the sky is decorated with trees, it will look better. The branches are covered with ice, just like Yushu. Sunrise in the east, the sky is silver, looking up and looking around, like a glass world. The third is Song Tao. When the wind is strong, it is like thunder in the distance, or a gunshot, like the waves rolling, or like drums and music playing, sometimes it is big and sometimes it is small, sometimes it is intermittent, which is indescribable. Four words are "rain scene" and five words are "frost leaves".
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the surrounding barren hills and hills have been afforested. There are many kinds of trees, such as mountain fruit trees. There are dozens of natural medicinal materials, such as Polygonum Multiflori Radix, Rhizoma Arisaematis, Red Lady, Cortex Lycii, and Qingshuixiang. The vegetation is dense and lush, like a green bay, waiting for distant tourists.
