sky pillar peak
Tianzhu peak, elevation1489.8m. It is towering in the air, with a pillar towering over the sky and covered with rocks and bones. It is extremely rugged, majestic and beautiful, such as columns, cones, torches, swords, platforms and wonderful pens, and has won the praise of "Five Mountains return without looking at the mountains, Huangshan returns without looking at the mountains, and Tianzhu returns without looking at the peaks"! When Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, passed the Susong Yangtze River, he saw the majestic Tianzhu Peak and sang loudly: "The strange peak is strangely cloudy and the beautiful wood is delicate. In the Qing Dynasty, Mount Wangong was absolutely satisfactory. ...... "Bai Juyi once lamented:" One peak in Tianzhu holds the sun and the moon, and the door is locked with clouds and thunder. " Song Zhuxi sighed: "A towering Tianzhu, a magnificent Han Weidong town. Just say that Gan Kun is big, who knows that he has made great contributions. " Li geng of the Ming Dynasty also praised him, saying, "The towering Tianzhu Peak is a sky watch that rises from the ground. I was already in Pengdao before I was halfway there. With the crane empty, I walked around in smoke and clouds. There are strange mountains in the world, and the mountains are so good. "
Tianzhu Peak stands out as a solitary peak, and the peak is difficult to climb. According to records, so far, only two people have reached the summit as tourists.
A narrow strip of the sky
Under Tianzhu Peak, there is a crack between one peak and the main peak, which is like a huge axe splitting and can't get down to the ground, commonly known as Xiaotianmen, also known as "Tianmu". The peak is only 10 meters high, just like a blooming flower, hence the name "Flower Peak". Looking up at the stone wall of Tianzhu Peak, the four characters of "indomitable spirit" are written in regular script. This was inscribed by Kuomintang general Liu Yichun in 29 years of the Republic of China.
Du Xian bridge
Tianchi Peak, the second peak of Tianzhu Mountain, is slightly higher than Feilai Peak, with an altitude of 1426 meters. Tianchi Peak, divided into three parts, is connected by two thin stone strips in front of us. This is the famous "crossing the fairy bridge". There is a saying: "People will cross the bridge when they come to it."
Climbing the Tianchi Peak, we can also appreciate the spirit of "climbing the peak to see what it is, other peaks are dwarfed". The view here is extremely broad and the scenery is magnificent. It is the best place to see sunrise, sea of clouds, Buddha's light and sunset glow. When the weather is fine, from afar, Feilai Peak, Mount Everest and Wuzhi Peak are covered with mountains. Andan Lake is like a silver mirror, sandwiched between two silver chains: He Qian River and An Hui River. Dalongwo, Houshan, Dongguan and other peaks are like mounds, and you can have a panoramic view.
Carefully cross the Transitional Fairy Bridge, which is a platform of less than 10 square meter in Fiona Fang. There are two stone pits in Taichung called "Tianchi". Not full feet deep, but the water is clear, the rain is not enough for a long time, and the drought is not dry. The outer edge of Tianchi Terrace is a precipice, which is breathtaking and is called Kaoxin Cliff. Try the heart cliff is the most ideal place to watch "Tianzhu Mountain Buddha Light". If the valley is filled with dense fog and the clear sky is hanging, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and colorful halos will appear on the white clouds. Halos are layered and gorgeous, and what's more strange is that your figure will be reflected by the gorgeous halo. If you meet the "Buddha's Light", it will be your blessing.
Mysterious valley
The mysterious valley south of Tianchi Peak is also called Siyuan (Xuan) Cave. The most mysterious place in Tianzhu Mountain can be called Mysterious Valley. First, there have been many mysterious legends since ancient times.
The mysterious valley stone consists of Dragon Palace, Maze and Xiaoyao Palace. It starts from the entrance of Longyin Tiger Cliff, passes through Wuzhi Peak, next to Feilai Peak, surrounds Mount Everest and reaches Du Xian Bridge, with a total length of more than 400 meters and a drop of 100 meters. Looking at the mysterious valley from the outside, a valley is just a pile of stones, and nearly a hundred caves are among the piles of stones. No matter how many tourists there are, it is hard to see just by listening to the sound. There are holes in the valley, and holes in the valley; Some are connected, some are spaced; If you doubt that there is no road, it is a road, but if you look at it, you are lost; There are countless people in the wide cave, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river are clearly visible; People in the lower part of the cave must take the Portuguese road, and one person is in the way, and the whole hole is dark; The hole is big, and a few people are in step, so you can break the rock; The steep wall is connected up and down, and the hands and feet are used together; In a gloomy place, the chill attacks people, and they turn seven times and eight times, making them uneasy; At dawn, the springs jingled and the birds sang.
Taoism regards this place as a paradise, and Taoist books call it fourteen caves. Old records say that this cave is "spacious and spacious, and can hold more than 10,000 weapons, and there is a crystal rock under it, which leads directly to the sea." Later known as the chief official Kong. "
Penglai Island
On the left side of Huafeng, there is a beautiful and mellow peak, Penglai Peak. Penglai peak is1350m above sea level, facing Tianchi peak in the south and Tianzhu peak in the north. Penglai Peak is a single stone wall, with steep walls in the west, south and north, extending westward to an abyss of 100 meters. The peak is narrow and dangerous, with a longitudinal length of 100 meters and a width of only two or three meters. The ancient wood protects the stone, Gorman wraps around his knees, and he is in danger. Stone steps and guardrails have been built so far. There are often clouds and fog around the peak, and the peak is looming in the sea of clouds. When I went to Penglai Island, I saw the green vines, which were inaccessible and foggy, just like entering Yaochi Wonderland! Look at the cliffs in the northwest, north and south. Gu Song hangs upside down and flies around like a fairy mountain. Li geng in the Ming Dynasty wrote a poem: "I am still in Penglai, but I am already in Penglai", so it is called Penglai Peak. At the top of the mountain, you can overlook Yingshan in Hubei, Huoshan in Anhui and Jinzhai, and appreciate the magnificent scene of "Cangshan is like the sea and the sunset is like blood" in Mao Zedong's poems.
Jiujinghe
Originated in the palace behind Tianzhu Mountain, it winds for more than ten kilometers and is formed by the intersection of thousands of streams and springs. In the meantime, there is a waterfall in the secluded pool, and the wind is refreshing. "Nine Wells West Wind" is one of the ten scenic spots of latent Yang.
Nine West Scenes can be regarded as Tianzhu's unique skill. It's never all the year round. No matter rain or shine, northwest and north winds blow into Gukou and Yezhai. Especially in summer, the weather is hot again during the day, and the summer heat disappears when the west wind comes at night. Therefore, Gukou and Yezhai are not only good places for people to listen to the wind and enjoy the scenery, but also summer resorts.

The water surface area of Andan Lake is nearly 30,000 square meters, the storage capacity is 80,000 cubic meters, and the altitude is 1 100 meters. It can be compared with Tianshan Tianchi and Changbai Mountain Tianchi among the famous mountains in China. Its water quality is clear, green as jade, surrounded by mountains, elegant environment, no wind in the sun, lakes like mirrors, blue sky and white clouds reflected in it; Surrounded by peaks, Cangya Song Qing is reflected in it, such as weaving brocade, which adds vitality to this calm water surface; Breeze Xu Lai, the lake rippling, sparkling, a scene, boating on it, such as entering the Yaochi. Under the calm water of "Andan Lake", before the lake was built, it was called "Yao Yao Ping", also called "Shangliandan". Before the Han Dynasty, Ming Dow and Zuo Ci used to collect herbs for alchemy here, and now the name "Andan Lake" comes from this. The "alchemy room" where Zuo Ci lived and the "alchemy platform" where alchemy began are still there. Looking around the "alchemy platform", the peaks in Xiguan are vivid, flying like falling, the precious moon is like tin, the beads are falling, and Tianzhu is in sight. Lion Peak is on the left, Qinglong is on the right, Dengxian Drum Peak is in the east, Lingjiao, Gaipen and Yingzhen Peak are in the south. With far-sighted vision, we can win the victory of Tianzhu Mountain.
Tianzhu Qing Xue
The unique landscape of Tianzhu Mountain-Tianzhu Mountain Qing Xue, commonly known as "Six Miles of Snow". "Tianzhu Clear Snow" is located on the hill north of qinglong river in Tianzhu Mountain.
According to "Chronicle", "There are mountains around here, with luxuriant pine and fir, and a sand mountain is exposed among evergreen trees. It is like frozen snow all year round, and the four seasons are like silver mountains and rotten seas. Especially in Chuqing after the rain, the sun shines, and the gravel is particularly clean and flawless after being washed by rain, such as white snow, which is dazzling. " Li Kuang, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, praised in a poem: "It is always cold in May and June, and it will not snow for a thousand years." In hot June, it will be cool there.
The cause of Tianzhu fine snow is related to the geology and landform here. "Snow Mountain" is composed of mixed granite with relatively low seasonal content, mainly feldspar. The rocks are often wet, exposed to the sun and rain, and cold at night. The rock layers gradually become loose and sandy, and accumulate into hills over time. Sunlight and moonlight reflect it, radiant and crystal clear.
klippe
Feilai Peak is located at the westernmost end of "Long Yin Hu Xiao Cliff". A peak enters the cloud independently, covered with huge stones and bones, with shallow water marks all over the body. This is the third peak of Tianzhu Mountain-Feilai Peak. At an altitude of 1.424 meters, the whole mountain peak consists of a whole boulder. There is a stone about 3 feet long at the top, with a circumference of more than 30 feet and a height of more than 30 feet. Round as a cover on the summit, as if falling from the sky. The stone is called "flying stone", and the peak is named after the stone. Flying stones on the summit are worn on the summit like a crown. Many tourists are surprised to see Feilaifeng. At the same time, there is a worry: what should I do if the wind blows and the flying stones are scraped off?
Legend has it that Tianzhu Mountain was an endless West Sea 2.6 billion years ago, and many snakes, monsters and turtles were making waves in the West Sea, disturbing people's livelihood. Seeing that the road was rough, the old gentleman borrowed a demon killing stone from the East Sea Dragon King and pressed it on Feilai Peak to kill the demon.
It is also said that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited Tianzhu Mountain, but he did not believe that this flying stone came from nine days away. Mr. Right casually recited, "Flying is not necessarily flying, and the world must be a wild guess ...". The voice did not fall, thunder and lightning, dark clouds covered the sky on the flying peak, flying stones rumbled, and it was about to fly ... Emperor Qianlong quickly changed his mouth: "The flying must fly, not the world's wild speculation. Since it flies and flies, why did it fly in the first place? " After the speech, the horizon is thousands of miles, and the clouds are rolling and the clouds are comfortable. Feilai stone is also firmly covered on the top of Feilai Peak.
Feilaifeng, seen from the south, looks like a hat; Seen from the north, it looks like a chess game; Seen from the east, it looks like a ball like a fist; From the west, it looks like a cow sleeping and a tiger lying. On the stone wall to the west of Feilai Peak, scales and spots similar to "Long Lin" have been formed due to the long-term erosion of spring water. Careful tourists can easily find that this outline is strikingly similar to the contour line of our map of Anhui Province! Look, that's the Huaihe River and that's the Yangtze River. ...
Bao Yue Feng
To the south of Feilai Peak is Baoyue Peak. There are two antenna-shaped clever stones on the summit, with a square table-shaped slate in the middle, and the two clever stones are slightly tilted backwards, which is a leisurely manner-"two immortals playing chess"; From east to west, it looks like a crescent moon hanging in the blue sky-"Bao Yue"; From southeast to northwest, it has become a "golden rooster singing at night", which is really interesting! To the east are Tianwa Peak, Dan Sha Feng, Hu Feifeng, Fozi Peak, Yingzhen Peak, Shiniu Peak, Lin Tingfeng, Lu Fengfeng and Tieshi Peak. The peaks are undulating, delicate and straight.
Tianzhu song
A tall pine tree stands between the cliffs on one side of Tianchi Peak. It is born in broken rocks and grows on cliffs; Great perseverance, integrity, generosity and character; Look only from a distance, not from a distance; Standing in the wind and frost, it is comparable to the mainstay; Quite a king. Although this pine tree is only 5 meters high and 80 centimeters thick, it has a history of 1500 years. You see, it grows completely on the cliff, without touching an inch of land, towering above the stone wall. The branches are still thick and dry, just like a warm and hospitable day.
Mazuan
The main attractions here are: Mazu Temple, Bugu Temple, Thunderbolt Stone, Bajie chanting Buddha, Tian Shu Peak, Tianwa Peak, Zhutou Stone and so on. Mazu 'an is full of bamboos, tea trees, boulders, continuous peaks and twists and turns. Xiangzi Peak, Pingfeng Peak and Shilong Peak are ranked first, while Tianmen Peak, Tianwa Peak and Danfeng Peak are behind. There is Mazu Cave in front of Mazu Tempel, which is said to be the resting place of Taoist Mazu, and there are deep springs in the cave. Out of the hole, go to Kaminooji. On the right, there is a stone like a pillar, standing proudly in the sky, with the inscription "Nantianyizhu" by Yang Sen, the Sichuan warlord of the Kuomintang. Further to the right is Lotus Cave (also known as Fontaine), which is said to be the place where Zuo Ci, an alchemist of the Han Dynasty, practiced alchemy. There is a big stone next to it, covering an area of one mu, round and smooth, with a line in the middle, which is even up and down, such as cutting melons and fruits, commonly known as "Thunder Stone". Li Yunlin, a native of the Qing Dynasty, was engraved with the words "clouds and smoke". There are snow waterfalls and cliffs in the south of Mazu 'an, which are beautiful and spectacular.
North Temple: This was once the cave where a Zen master practiced meditation on Mazu Road in the Tang Dynasty. During the Five Dynasties, local villagers built a temple on the spot, which was known as Mazu Tempel. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Shintoism granted Tibetan scriptures by decree, and named Mazu Temple Bukoji. After it was burned, there were ten brick and wooden tile houses, and some Buddha statues could be seen.
Leishi: commonly known as Leishi, it is about 10 meter high, round, pale, with cracks in the middle, and the section is neat, like a knife cutting an axe. The north wall of the stone tablet is engraved with four characters of "mixed yuan thunderbolt" one meter square. Bajie chanting is like a pig lying on the top of a mountain, chanting in his mouth and thinking about delicious food. According to legend, Tianshufeng was the place where Zuo Ci got the "Tianshufeng" when he was making an alchemy on the mountain. Frog Peak is like a frog crying in the sky, trying to rise to the sky.

Stone carving culture
"There are no mountains or stone carvings, they are all famous mountains." Since ancient times, Tianzhu Mountain has attracted poets, scholars and dignitaries with its unique charm. Faced with such beautiful scenery, they splashed ink and expressed their inner feelings, leaving many stone carvings. From Shi Niu Ancient Cave to Mazu 'an, from Hutou Cliff to Tianzhu Top, from Jiujing Riverside to Nantianmen, there are inscriptions by ancient sages everywhere. Among them, the Cliff Stone Carvings in Liuquan Valley, an ancient cave in Shi Niu, rank first in all scenic spots because of its large number, high density, high grade and long time, and are listed as national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council.
On this stone wall less than 300 meters long, there are more than 300 stone carvings from Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing, Republic of China and modern times. It can be said that poetry, ci, prose, pictures and fu have different forms, and cursive script, official script, regular script and seal script are all available. This is really an art gallery. Among them, Wang Anshi, a generation reformer, and Huang Tingjian, one of the calligraphy Song Sijia, are particularly precious.
Religious culture
Tianzhu Mountain is a "paradise" for Buddhism and Taoism. Taoism lists it as the 14th of the 36 caves in China and calls it one of the five major towns. Thousands of years of worship and incense have precipitated rich religious culture, including both tangible scenery and intangible legends that can be read and heard.
Taoism has taken root here since the Eastern Han Dynasty alchemist Zuo Ci gave a lecture here. During the period of Liang Xiao, Jinling monk Baozhi came here to preach, and fought with the alchemist Bai He, and the result was even. Since then, Tianzhu Mountain has become a holy place for Buddhism and Taoism. During the heyday of the Tang and Song Dynasties, there were more than 100 temples, which was called "three thousand monks and eight hundred monks".
The representative buildings of Buddhism are Sanzu Temple at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, Bukoji (Mazu Temple) at the waist of Tianzhu Mountain and Taiping Tower in the western suburbs of the county. Sanzu Temple was listed as one of the key temples in the Han area 142 by the State Council in 1982. It was originally named "Valley Temple" by Xiao Yan, Liang Wudi, and named "Sanzu Temple" because Sanzu Monks of Zen Buddhism were stationed here. Tang Suzong, the son of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was renamed "Gan Yuan" when he acceded to the throne, that is, he was given the name "Sanzu Valley Gan Yuan" in the first year of Gan Yuan. Jueji Pagoda in the temple was built in Tianbao period of Tang Dynasty, and it is the third ancestor stupa. There are also the "Sanzu Yidong" built in the Tang Dynasty and the "Mowei Spring" built in the Song Dynasty.
Historical culture (ancient Anhui culture)
The historical relics here can be traced back to the ancient Anhui culture more than 5,000 years ago, represented by the "Xuejiagang Cultural Site". Xuejiagang Cultural Site is located in Wanghe Town, Qianshan County, with an excavation area of more than 2,000 square meters and more than 2,000 unearthed cultural relics. There are three kinds of unearthed cultural relics: stone tools, pottery and jade. The production tools are mainly stone tools, among which 13 hole stone knife is found for the first time in China, which is extremely precious, and the daily utensils are mainly pottery.
These cultural relics are mainly Neolithic objects, and there are a few relics from Shang Dynasty and Tang and Song Dynasties. They are unique in style and self-contained, representing the unique culture of the Neolithic Age, and provide very precious cultural relics for studying human life and production activities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in the late Neolithic Age and their relationship with various cultures in the Yellow River Basin.
Celebrity culture
The celebrity trace of Tianzhu Mountain can be traced back to Yue Feng, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty. Now, we can still find the remains of "Sacrificing Yuetai" and "Jingjia Bridge" preserved in the Han Dynasty. After the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wendi turned his attention to southern Xinjiang and moved Nanyue to Hengshan, Hunan. However, Tianzhu Mountain still attracts many literati and dignitaries to visit with her Zhong Ling.
When Li Bai looked at Tianzhu Mountain on the river in the Tang Dynasty, he recited "the strange peak is strangely cloudy, and the water is beautiful and delicate" and said, "When I return to Dancheng, I will return here." Bai Juyi's phrase "Tianzhu Peak embraces the sun and the moon, and the door is locked with clouds and thunder" even penetrates history and still echoes in our ears. When Wang Anshi passed the sentence in Zhoushu, a buried hill, he visited the ancient cave at night in Shi Niu and wrote a poem with fire: "The water turns unintentionally, and the mountains are surrounded. Poor and inexhaustible, sitting on the stone and forgetting to return. " Huang Tingjian studied in an ancient cave in Shi Niu, calling himself a Taoist in the valley and insisting on "My Buried Hill".
Ancient Anhui, outstanding people. As early as the Three Kingdoms period, the famous astronomer and mathematician Wang Fan was born here. There was a poet Cao Song in the late Tang Dynasty, a prime minister Wang Jue in the Song Dynasty, and Li who was good at drawing horses. In modern times, there were Cheng Changgeng, the originator of Peking Opera, Zhang Henshui, the master of Zhang Hui's novels, and Xia Juhua, the queen of acrobatics. They are all children of Tianzhu Mountain and the pride of our buried hill people!
Opera culture
Huangmei Opera, a local opera originated in Huangmei, Hubei Province, suddenly blossomed as soon as it was planted in Tianzhu Mountain. First, Yan Fengying, a pioneer, and then Han Zaifen, a rookie, just sang Huangmei Opera in China, where the story of peacock flying southeast was put on the stage of Huangmei Opera.
