The beauty of Diecai Mountain collides with history.

Coming out of Xiangshan Park, my friend said, "Looking at Guilin, Diecai Mountain can be the first choice. Climb Yuemingfeng, stop at Ting Yun Pavilion, and you can see the whole city. As the saying goes, "it's sunny and windy all around, and it's a fairyland on earth." So I walked north along the river and went straight to Diecai Park.

At the east gate of Diecai Mountain Park, there is a brief introduction of Diecai Mountain, indicating 20 scenic spots in the park, and there is a text saying that "this mountain is composed of Yueshan Mountain, Wang Si Mountain, Yuemingfeng Mountain and Xianhe Mountain, which has been crowded with tourists since the Tang Dynasty." There is also a sign pointing directly to Yue Mingfeng, "Mountaineering Raiders".

Bypass the Diecai Qionglou, which is being repaired, and climb the stairs to the Diecai Pavilion. It is necessary to enter Diecai Pavilion from the East Gate and the South Gate. You can climb Yueshan in the east, Wang Si in the west, Yueming Peak in the north and Xianhe Peak in the northwest.

Take a nap in the pavilion and look at the mountains in the north. Sure enough, the rocks are as brocade as satin, layered on top of each other. Tracing the origin of the name of Diecai Mountain, we know that it began in the Tang Dynasty by observing Hui Yuan's "Diecai Mountain" cloud: "The mountain is horizontal with stone patterns and alternating colors. If it is colorful, it is named. " Since the Song Dynasty, osmanthus trees have been planted all over the mountain, and the mountain is full of fragrance, hence the name Guishan; There is a wind tunnel in the mountain, and the breeze is amazing, so it is commonly known as the wind tunnel mountain; During the Five Dynasties, Ma Yin, the king of Chu, built an altar on the mountain, so it was also called Mawangtai and Yuewangshan. Yuemingfeng is the main peak of Diecai Mountain, with an altitude of 223 meters and a relative height of about 73 meters. In the poem "Swimming to the Wind Tunnel to Climb the Crane's Bright Moon Peak" by Yuan Mei in Qing Dynasty, there is a saying that "the crane can't recruit, but the bright moon can still be compared with it". Yang Fang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War in Ming Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Wind Tunnel Mountain" that "I want to explore the sky and the moon, bow my head and doubt the clouds around the sun", all of which means that the peak height can capture the moon, so it is called the bright moon peak.

Climb Yuemingfeng along the stone steps, not far from Diecai Mountain Gate, which stands at the throat. There is a banner of "overlapping colors" hanging on the door, and on both sides are couplets of "be cool and be happy". After crossing the mountain gate, you will enter the scenic spot full of scenic spots in Diecai Mountain. Historical sites, religions and natural scenery blend with each other, and from one place to another, they accidentally hit a quaint fairyland.

Opposite the mountain gate, there is a monument to the death of Qu from Changshu and Zhang Zhonglie from Jiangling, and on the right is the Yangzhitang, which was built to commemorate Qu Shizhen, a heroic and unyielding Ming general in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Entering Yangzhitang from the west gate, you can see the chorus poems of Qu Shizhen, portraits and songs embedded in the north wall, as well as stone carvings such as "Hymn of Two Public Figures" written by Guo Moruo 1963. Outside the east gate of Yangzhitang, there is a boxing hall. According to historical records, this pavilion was awarded by Chang Yuan Shi Qing. There is a plaque of "Boxing Pavilion" and a couplet of "Lijiang River is cool with wine, and poetry often enjoys the rain". At present, the plaque of "One Boxing Pavilion" is still there, but the couplet is "Boxing to welcome guests and silently admire loyal ministers", which is more in line with neighbor Yang Zhitang, but the meaning of "One Boxing Pavilion" is still unknown.

Out of the "one punch pavilion" and up the stairs, it is the wind tunnel of the eight ancient scenes of Guilin. On the east side outside the cave, there are two stone tablets, one is the former site of Kang Youwei's lecture hall, and the other is the inverted word tablet. It is said that this is the only anti-word tablet in Guangxi, which is extremely rare in the whole country. There are many inscriptions around the mouth of the cave, especially "Diecai Mountain" written by the famous calligrapher Shen and "Better be a Guilin person than a fairy" written by Marshal Chen Yi.

As soon as I entered the hole, the cool wind came to my face and I felt refreshed. The wind tunnel is gourd-shaped, divided into south tunnel and north tunnel. The South Cave is called Diecai Rock, which was called Futing in ancient times. The north hole is called the north hole. Because the cave is high, the north and the south cross, and the breeze is slow, it has become a popular place for enjoying the cool. The stone carvings in the wind tunnel are very distinctive, and the "wind" blows "Zhu Lan" aside. The 2 10 ancient stone carvings in Diecai Mountain are mostly concentrated inside and outside the wind tunnel. There are 24 cliff shrines and 90 Buddha statues in the wind tunnel in Tang and Song Dynasties, which is different from the "Northern Statue" of "Fat in Tang and Thin in Song Dynasty" and has a distinct local style.

Diecai Mountain, also known as Changshou Mountain, has the saying that "you can live to 99 after passing through the wind tunnel, and you can live to 130 after climbing Diecai Mountain". There is a clever word "shou" in the cave, which means "hundred" Come out from the north exit of the wind tunnel and climb Yuemingfeng. Near the top of the mountain, there is a piece of arsenic engraved with the words "climb Diecai Mountain and live to be 130 years old".

The cloud pavilion stands on the top of the bright moon, overlooking the pavilion, full of spring scenery and strange peaks in the fields. There are Yaoshan, Maoer Mountain and Pingfeng Mountain in the east, and Qixing Mountain, Chuanshan Mountain and Tashan Mountain in the southeast. There are Nanxi Mountain, Jidu Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Fubo Mountain and Duxiu Peak in the south; In the west, there are Jiashan Mountain Range, Xishan Group Peak, Guangming Mountain, Furong Mountain, Baoji Mountain and Fengfei Mountain. There are Tiefeng Mountain, Parrot Mountain, Guanyin Mountain, Yushan Mountain and Jiuhua Mountain in the north. The Lijiang River winds through the city and turns a big bend at the foot of the mountain, which is the answer to "a thousand peaks surround the wild, and a water holds the city".

Out of the cloud pavilion, down the hill along the other side of the steps. See there are two poems on the stone, one is Zhu De's poem "Hero SEO, Climbing Yuemingfeng Together". Climb without a stick, take off your hat and enjoy the east wind. One is a poem by Xu Teli and "Mr. Zhu is more heroic, and his peers reach the peak first". "Look up by the cloud pavilion and draw water in the spring breeze." It turns out that in 1963, 77-year-old Marshal Zhu De and 87-year-old revolutionary Xu Teli climbed the peak of Yue Ming and recited a poem, which is a much-told story in the poetry circle.
