Wuxia, which is famous for its deep scenery, starts from Wushan County, Sichuan Province in the west and ends at Guandukou, Badong County, Hubei Province in the east, with a total length of 42 kilometers. Because it is the longest in the Three Gorges, it is also called the "Grand Canyon".
On both sides of the Wuxia Gorge, there are thousands of peaks like screens, and the strange rocks are deep, and the channel winds along the strange rocks. Legend has it that when Dayu was harnessing the Yangtze River, he was inspired by the goddess "Water Control Map" and wanted to straighten the waterway. At that time, the method of burning lime by mountain people was adopted. Burn all the trees on the rocks near the waterway before watering the rocks. When one is cold and the other is hot, the rock breaks and the water reaches the canyon. At first, migrant workers were cautious, but after they became proficient, they were careless and the flames ran around a little. In this way, the Qutangxia Waterway is straight, and the Wuxia Waterway has become what it is now.
The scenic spots in the canyon include "Twelve Peaks of Clouds and Rain", "Kongming Monument", "Piercing Arrow" and "Goddess Temple". Zhuge Liang, who was carved on a cliff, persuaded General Lu Xun not to attack Shu. The fine print is hard to distinguish, and the big characters are "heavy stones stacked on the Wuxia Gorge" and "beautiful scenery of the famous peak". Before the arrow goes through the hole, there is a stone pillar more than 3 meters long, which is inclined like an arrow. There is a hole in front of it, so it is named after it. According to legend, when Dayu was in charge of water control, he led the people to panic in a group of dragons. An old dragon tried to get out of the mountain, but was shot dead by Dayu's archers with an arrow transferred from the goddess Hosta, leaving this hole. Therefore, this canyon was named "Arrow Through Canyon". It is also said that the old Chu army uprising, when shooting arrows to choose leaders, Xiang Yu was shot through by arrows.
There is a rock peak near the canyon where the arrow passes. The upper part is yellow-brown, which looks like an ancient samurai helmet, and the lower part is herringbone, with distinct layers and worries, which looks like samurai armor. This mountain and canyon are both called "golden helmet and silver armor", which is said to be the result of Dayu embedding sacrificial armor into rocks.
In the past, there were lush trees in the gorge, and "there were often high apes whistling." Legend has it that once an ape loses its young, it will cry until its heart breaks. Monkey was moved by this. For thousands of years, the crying of apes has been one of the important contents of the Three Gorges landscape and the Three Gorges poetry. Numerous literati and poets wrote many touching chapters with the cries of apes. "The Wuxia Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes crow three times with tears in their skirts" ("Badong Fisherman's Folk Songs"), "Seeing three times the Baxia Gorge is deep, the travelers are full of tears at this time; When I arrived at Jiangzhoukou, I began to believe that mourning apes hurt the guest's heart (Don Li Shen's "Smelling Apes") and "When it rains in Wuxia, the Qing apes crow the highest branch; It is not this sad voice that makes people feel sad "(Liu Tang Yuxi's Zhi Zhu Ci). Most of these poems are sad. Only in the works of Li Bai, a great romantic poet, did the mournful ape sound become melodious and melodious, which made him unable to help singing the lofty sentiments of "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the canoe has passed Chung Shan Man".
In the Wuxia Gorge, the peaks are overlapping, the water is stagnant, there are many clouds, and it is too late to gather and disperse, and there is no trace of clouds and rain, which is quite provocative. Song Yu's "Gao Xu" said that its cloud was transformed by the goddess, and the sky belonged to the sky, down to Yuyuan, such as the luxuriance of Songtao and the beauty of it; In an instant, the change is endless, and it is the cloudiest in the world.
Talk about Wushan sooner or later.
Wushan County was called Wu County in ancient times because Wu Xian, the minister of Shang Dynasty, was buried here after his death. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Chu changed hands several times, so there is a saying in local chronicles that "Qin Chu is in the morning"; It was not until the establishment of Wushan County in the third year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (583) that it clearly belonged to Sichuan.
Wushan County is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River at the western end of Wuxia Gorge, and is known as "Kuimen Lock Keys, the Throat of Shu". The county seat is surrounded by mountains and waters and built according to the situation. There are three stops, eight scenic spots and twelve peaks in the city.
Laolong staggered gorge
On the south bank of the Yangtze River near Daxi Town in Wushan County, there is a dark canyon, two jagged ridges, a long and narrow platform and an upright stone pillar, which are called "staggered gorge", "dragon cutting platform" and "dragon locking column" respectively.
When Dayu governed the Yangtze River, the old dragon in the old dragon cave in Longping Village, Miao Township, southwest of the county wanted to escape back to the East China Sea, so he became an old man with a white beard and asked for directions. The cowherd raised a finger of the sickle, and the old dragon thought that he would bend down along the sickle, and as a result, he met the south wall of the martial arts. It hit left and right, breaking a 30-mile-long fault canyon, which is called "staggered canyon". Hearing this, the jade emperor was furious and ordered the heavenly soldiers to set up a dragon chopping platform, lock the dragon column and execute the old dragon on the spot.
There is a keel slope near Laolong Cave. 19851Oct. 30, 19861Oct. 24, paleoanthropologists of China Academy of Sciences unearthed the left mandible and teeth of "Wushan Man" about1800,000 years ago, as well as closely related mammalian fossils and bone products, which belong to Asia.
Turn of spring and summer
"Martial arts is all the way to the old Chu Palace, and it is still dark and Feng Dan; I love the happiness of the people, and only Xiang Wang remembers my dream. " This is a poem by Li Shangyin, a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty, which is called Crossing the Chu Palace.
Chu Balcony is one of the "Eight Scenes of Wushan Mountain", which is located on a high hill (Gaodu) about 1 km to the west of the city, and is famous for "Gaotang Fu" written by Song Yu, a poet of Chu State. According to legend, this was once the palace of the King of Chu, and Chu Huaiwang had a tryst with the Goddess of Wushan. "Gao Tang Mi" records: "The former king tried to visit Gao Tang, slept in the daytime, and dreamed of a woman, saying,' My daughter of Wushan is also a guest of Gao Tang. I heard that you are traveling in Gaotang and would like to recommend a pillow pad. Wang Yinxing. When I left, I said,' My concubine is in the sun of Wushan, blocked by high hills, facing the clouds, walking in the rain at dusk, facing the sun and under the balcony'. "Later generations built Taiwan Province accordingly. Taiwan is more than 0/00 feet high, facing the Yangtze River, and there is the ruins of the ancient Gaotang Temple, which was originally a three-story temple. In the view, the trees are lush, the bamboos are shaded, there is often mist in the morning and dew at night, which is called "balcony rain at dusk". There is Longyan underground in front of the temple, which will dew at night, commonly known as "sweat stone", which is one of the wonders of "balcony sunset rain"
The story of Wushan Goddess has been told by people for thousands of years, and many idioms, allusions and epigrams have evolved. For example, Encounter on the Balcony, Combination of Sex and Rain, Love in Wushan, etc., as well as the name of the female temple in the beautiful A Cloud in Wushan and the name of Tang. Poetic circles have also formed the title of "Wushan High" which describes the Wuxia Gorge and the Goddess. There are as many as 45 "Wushan Gao" in the "Wushan County Art and Literature Records" alone. Among them are the famous poems of Yan, a poet and painter in the early Tang Dynasty.
In the fourth year of Tang Yuanhe (809), Wei Cong, the original wife of the poet Yuan Zhen, died at the age of 27. Yuan Zhen wrote many mourning poems, including "once the sea was difficult for water, it was amber forever;" Looking back on the flowers, cultivating the monarch half-tilling "(the fourth of five poems about leaving thoughts), taking the cloud of Wushan as a metaphor, eulogizing the feelings of husband and wife, expressing loyalty and nostalgia for his dead wife, with exquisite metaphor and strong feelings, is known as the superior realm in the mourning poems of the Tang Dynasty. Among them, the first couplet is especially popular in the world and has become a special language for people to express their loyal love throughout the ages. But the elders in Shu have always dismissed the idea of fairy trysts. Li Bai also wrote: "Yao Ji's daughter is in the sky and wonderful in the clouds;" Wandering into the night dream, I have no intention to go to Chu Jun. Embrace the autumn moon on the brocade, and Lan Fen sits empty; Who is testing it? False biography of Song Yuwen! " (The first part of Ying Xing's eight poems)
Yao Ji doubts not to go.
"Wushan twelve melancholy gray, stone pavilion girl; The fog suddenly opened the veil of doubt, and the mountain flowers wanted to thank them like residual makeup. " This is a poem by Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty, Wushan Goddess Temple. The Goddess Temple is located in the west of Qingshi Town, Wuxia, dedicated to Yao Ji, the goddess of Wushan. It was built in the first year of Tang Yifeng (676). During Song Xuanhe's reign, he changed his view of truth, was destroyed by war, and was rebuilt to this day.
According to legend, Yao Ji, who is smart, kind and beautiful, is the 23rd daughter of the Queen Mother of the West. When Dayu was harnessing the Three Gorges, Yao Ji led eleven sisters down to earth and gave Dayu a map of harnessing the water to help clean up the reefs in the gorge. The Emperor of Heaven excommunicated them from their religion. The two sisters stayed on the mountain and navigated the passing ships. Over time, they became twelve peaks with Anna's colorful expressions. People are grateful to them, and they are given their names by their shapes, and their names are combined into a poem: the origin of the ancient poem "The ape sings three times and tears touch the clothes";
Ceng Bu visited Jixian in Jingtai and Yun Qi in Chaoyun. "Ascension" summit is far away, and the bright moon shines on "Songshan" and "Juhe". I just watched Dunlong and Hanyu, and watched Feng Fei shoot Qingchuan. The two sides can't stop shouting "Cuiping", but they expect friends to drink "Shengquan".
Among the twelve peaks, there are six peaks in the north and six peaks in the south. There are Denglong, Shengquan, Songluan, Wang Xia, Chaoyun and Jixian on the north bank, all by the river. On the south bank, Cuiping, He Ju, Fengfei Linjiang, Jingtan, Yun Qi and Shengteng are hidden behind the gorge bank. Therefore, Lu You once said, "See Jiu Feng on the Twelve Wushan Mountains, and the bow is full of colorful autumn sky" (Song of the Three Gorges).
Yao Ji became a tall and beautiful stone pillar, about 7 meters high and 5 meters in circumference. It is called "Wang Xia", also known as "goddess peak". People respected her as a clever use of real people and built a temple for sacrifice, and called the place where she sent the scriptures to Dayu that year "a book-giving desk". Throughout the ages, people always look up to the riverbank, looking for her beautiful image and sighing. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zirong wrote the poem "Wushan" and said: "The Wuling sky is heavy, and the ritual is willing to follow the past; It gets dark in the morning and evening, and the goddess knows which peak is coming. "
Gold lovers love
On the south bank of Wuxiakou, two huge blue stone pillars that are tens of feet high and can surround more than ten people stand abruptly. From a distance, it looks like a monk carrying a nun, commonly known as a "monk and nun".
According to legend, golden couple of Yaochi in the sky was sent to become a monk by the Queen Mother for eloping to the martial arts. The good witch made Crane Bridge meet them. The queen mother heard the news and sent someone to chase her. The golden boy carried a jade girl and ran here to become a monk and nun who snuggled up to each other. In the summer evening, the sun sets, and the glow shines on the stone like a ribbon, which is the "return of the sunset" in the "Eight Scenes of Wushan". "Wushan County Records" has a poem praising: "The stone pillars rise from the sky and the summer light is connected; The green belt is like a red city. "
