2. Yixing Shanjuan Cave Scenic Shanjuan Cave is located in Luo Yan Mountain, Zhu Ling Village, about 25 kilometers southwest of Yixing City. According to legend, more than 4,000 years ago, a Mr. Shanjuan lived here in seclusion to avoid the demise of Yu Shun, hence the name.
Shanjuan Cave covers an area of about 5,000 square meters and the tour route is about 800 meters. The upper and lower layers are connected; The upper, middle and lower parts are connected with water holes and holes. Entering a cave is like entering an underground palace.
The entrance of Shanjuan Cave is in the middle cave. The Lion Elephant Stadium in the Middle East is a natural stone hall with an area of 1000 square meters. Stalactite bamboo shoots as high as 7 meters stand upright at the mouth of the cave, which is a famous column peak. It is composed of little by little stone emulsion, which grows every 30 to 50 years 1 cm. It has been formed for more than 30 thousand years. The stone hall can accommodate thousands of tourists, and it is tall and spacious, covered with various lifelike stalactites. On both sides of the stone hall stand a pair of huge stones shaped like green lions and white elephants, which are lifelike and lifelike.
The hole above is bigger than the hole in the middle, 70 meters long, 30 meters wide and 30 meters high. The cave is shaped like a snail's shell. It is foggy all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer, and the temperature keeps 23 degrees Celsius all year round, so it is also called a warm cave. On the ring wall, there are lotus reflections formed by strange stones, cold plums, sheep, horses and pandas, which are lifelike. Waterfalls and waterfalls trickle between cracks, forming a pool underground, and the stone emulsion at the top is reflected in the pool, which is strange and natural. Spiral down the stone steps, you have to pass through four stone gates: Wind and Thunder, Waves, Golden Drum and Wanma. At this time, you can feel the choppy artistic conception in the distance, the wind and thunder are hidden, the golden drums are ringing, and Ma Benteng is everywhere. Here, stone milk drops into more fantastic scenes, such as green grapes, orange bergamot, white lotus root, white crane, Tian Tong Songshi, plum blossom screen and so on, all of which are beautiful.
The wonders with good volume are mainly underground caves and water caves. The tunnel is about180m long,18m wide and 22m high. There is a cliff more than 6 meters high outside the cave. After the heavy rain, the waterfall water washed down from the bottom of the cliff, so it is also called "water curtain cave". The water tunnel connected with the back tunnel is an extremely old underground river. It is about 120m long, with a water depth of 4.5m and the widest river surface of 6m. It can be used for boating all year round. Tourists can take a boat tour here. A canoe, swaying in the meantime, moves forward in this dark cave, sometimes with its head sideways, and occasionally a few drops of cold "fairy water" on the top of the cliff drop on the neck of tourists. Cause a scream, a laugh. "The boat is swimming in the water, and the paddle is rowing on the hole." The lights on both sides of the strait are flashing and bizarre, as if wandering in the mythical Crystal Palace. About 20 minutes later, I saw four vigorous characters on the cliff, which were inscribed for Tao Hongjing, a calligrapher of the Liang Dynasty. When I landed here, I saw that the stone carvings on the four walls were poems and songs praised by ancient and modern tourists.
Out of the Shanjuan Cave, I went to Zhu Ling Village. According to legend, Zhu Yingtai, a woman from the Jin Dynasty, disguised herself as a man to study here. There are six Chinese characters of Tang Dynasty stone tablets here, but there are three Chinese characters of Bixian Temple, and the handwriting is simple. Nearby are "Zhu Yingtai Qin Bamboo Slips Tomb, Wu Zili Dashi" and "National Mountain Monument" in the Three Kingdoms period.
3. The introduction of Yixing Shanjuan Cave gives you some information, hoping to help you! Hello, tourists! Welcome to visit Shanjuan Cave.
Now we come to the door of Shanjuan Cave. The tall and majestic gatehouse looks quaint, luxurious and elegant against the backdrop of green trees and bamboos.
Fei Xinwo, a famous calligrapher, wrote "Shanjuan Cave" in three striking Chinese characters, which attracted countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Let's go into the building and wander around this "eternal spirit" carefully.
There are four official characters "Spirit of the Eternal" in front of the strange stone in Taihu Lake, written by the famous Yixing painter Qian Songyan. Where is Shanjuan Cave? First, this cave was formed more than one million years ago; Second, this bougainvillea is called the living fossil of primitive society; The third is the name of the cave.
Let's talk while walking. Shanjuandong was named after the Yao and Shun period more than 4,000 years ago. The ancient book "Zhuangzi" said: "Shun let goodness roll in the world, and goodness roll: Xiao Yu is complacent between heaven and earth, why should I be in the world?" So not far from Wanli, I came to this barren mountain cave in the south of the Yangtze River to live in seclusion. Later generations called this cave a good scroll cave.
Shanjuan Cave covers an area of about 5,000 square meters with a journey of 800 meters. * * * There are three layers, which are connected layer by layer. It is divided into four holes: upper, middle, lower and water. The holes are connected, just like a stone building. In particular, "there is a river in the cave, and the river can cross the boat; The boat is in the water, and the pulp supports the sky. "
This is necessary. It has been called the three wonders of the world together with the "Han Cave" in Belgium and the "Lyon Cave" in France.
Now, everyone came to the mouth of the cave, and a boulder more than seven meters high blocked the way. Don't underestimate this stone. It's over 30,000 years old, and it grows one centimeter every fifty years, and it grows taller and taller bit by bit. Because the water dripping from the roof rock is rich in calcium carbonate, under certain temperature and pressure, these calcium carbonate will gradually solidify, and "dripping through the stone" becomes "dripping feldspar" here.
Unfortunately, the hole collapsed at 1957, and the reinforced roof stopped dripping and boulders stopped growing. It seems to be the mainstay in the torrent of the Yellow River, so it is called "the mainstay peak", and it was also called "Little Sumeru Mountain" in ancient times.
Ok, let's bypass the boulder and explore the wonders in the cave. Now we are in the cave in the middle. This hall is called "Lion Elephant Stadium".
Since it is called the Lion Elephant Hall, there should be lions and elephants. Let's look at the lion first. Probably because I have been standing for a long time and feel very tired. It is lying and resting, yawning with its big mouth open, showing a pair of front teeth. Only one eye can be seen on the head sideways, with a concave waist and a convex buttocks, and the tail naturally drags on the ground. If you look closely, you will find that it still has long lion hair and is blue. It is really a real green lion.
Is this true for everyone? For example. Then please look at everyone from another angle.
The elephant stood in high spirits, with its long nose dragging on the ground, and its ivory, front legs and hind legs were clearly visible, except for its tail. Why? It turns out that the elephant king's tail is short and small, which is really detrimental to his majesty compared with his pampered body, so he secretly hides it in the cave.
Green lions and elephants are both very big, so it may not be an exaggeration to call them the lion king and the elephant king. The lion king and the elephant king are on both sides, with their heads facing the hole. They are like two guards guarding Shanjuan Cave and two hospitable hosts. Welcome to visit.
Come with me to see a strange stone, which we call "changeable stone". From different angles, it looks like an ape, a toad, a fox and a seal ... Because stalactites in caves are all visual stones, you must stand in a good position to see them realistically.
In our jargon, it looks a bit like it if you don't say it. If you stand at a good angle, the more you look, the more you look. Ok, please follow me forward.
This stone wall is engraved with four big characters: "Desire is a fairy capital". In Buddhist teachings, desire refers to the world of mortals, that is, the colorful world where human beings live, which literally means "paradise on earth". These four words were paid tribute to Shanjuan Cave by Tao Hongjing and Bai Zhen of Liang Dynasty.
Tao Hongjing is a famous Taoist figure in China, who has made a very important contribution to the development of Taoism. At that time, he was called "Prime Minister in the Mountain". Well, since the "Prime Minister in the Mountain" spoke highly of Shanjuan Cave, please don't mention it. Please come with me to heaven.
Friends looked up at the top of the cave. The rocks above covered the whole cave like clouds. It's foggy around, as if standing in the middle of the sea, with no edge in sight. Therefore, this cave is called "the land of clouds". The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, with four seasons like spring, and the temperature keeps around 23 degrees Celsius all the year round.
Some friends may want to ask: is air conditioning installed on the hole? Otherwise, how can it be kept constant? Not because of air conditioning, but because of a big stone that plays a certain role in heat preservation. The whole cave is made of stones. As for which one it is, friends may wish to observe it carefully when they visit, and I will uncover the mystery for you after visiting the cave. Look at a huge bat flying towards you with its wings spread, followed by a small bat.
In ancient times, the bat was regarded as a kind of mascot, known as "Wan Fu Lai Chao", "five blessings" and "both longevity and happiness". There is also a willow tree next to this small pool. It can be seen from the small hole in the stem that it has grown for many years, but it still looks vibrant and flourishing. The drooping willow branches seem to express a warm welcome to everyone.
Like the "pillar peak" in the middle cave, this stalactite on the top of the head grows by dripping water. The difference is that this stalactite is still dripping down and growing down. If someone doesn't believe me, I might as well take out a ruler and measure its current length, and then measure it again in 50 years to confirm whether my words are true or not. From this point of view, this stalactite is like a lotus in bud. If friends want to see the lotus blossom, please come with me.
Begging friends to look down. This scene can not help but remind people of the description in China's ancient poem "Love Lotus": the mud is not touched, the ripples are clear but not demon, the communication is straightforward, not sloppy, and it can be viewed from a distance without being ridiculous. Lotus is just in bud, and now it is in full bloom in the water. I don't know if any friends have smelled the fragrance of lotus.
Actually, what we just saw was just ...
