What is the legend of Xiangshan in Zhangjiagang?

There are patches of Pinus massoniana, Metasequoia glyptostroboides and Phyllostachys pubescens on the mountain, and peach orchards and pear orchards are planted on the hillside, and a variety of wild medicinal materials are spread all over the mountain. Tree coverage rate is 87%, and grass coverage rate is 100%. Xiangshan is named after the legend that Fu Cha, the king of Wu, sent beautiful women to the mountains to collect incense in the Spring and Autumn Period. Beautiful natural scenery, rich human resources and confusing legends have always attracted literati to visit here. When Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, visited Xiangshan, he wrote a plaque for Tang Meihua. Xu Xiake, a geographer in Ming Dynasty, visited Xiangshan many times, leaving poems for the landscape here. He praised in "Preface of Plum Blossom Hall in Xiaoxiang Mountain": "A thousand years of cold and barren mountains have been fragrant, so it is worthy of this mountain!"

There are famous "eighteen scenic spots" in Xiangshan: Diaoyutai, Cai Xiang Trail, Tang Meihua, West Wild Goose Lake, Shihumen, Shengguotan, guanyin temple, Lotus Tea Hall, Yuanjita, Tingsongyin, Taohuajian, Shengqingchi, piling well, Wushan Night Rain, Tiantai Stone, Guiyun Cave, Bonfire Pier and Tibetan Army Cave. However, with the passage of time and great changes, most of the legendary scenic spots have disappeared.

Since 1993, with the efforts of the municipal and township governments, a large number of scenic spots have been built and opened to the outside world, including Wangjiang Pavilion, which stands proudly in the Gufeng Mountain and has a panoramic view of the Yangtze River, docks and bonded areas; There are jagged rocks and steep mountains; The hillside is covered with flowers and plants. It is said that Fu Cha, the prince of Wu, took beautiful women up the mountain. There are Taohuaxi, which Xu Xiake called "nine days of wind and rain, three Gorges waves, and all the scenery", as well as a number of natural scenic spots such as Shengguotan, Blooddrop Rock, Xianniubei and Tingsongyin. More than 20 famous calligraphers, including Shen Peng and Sha Manweng, wrote poems for scenic spots.

1995, Xiangshan Temple, a large temple with an investment of 60 million yuan and a construction area of 6,700 square meters, was built. Located in the main peak of Xiangshan Mountain, the temple is composed of ancient, elegant and magnificent temples. A jade Buddha with a height of 1.5m and a net weight of 1.5t was carved in the temple, and Xu Yehong, president of the Taipei Buddha Education Foundation, presented the Tripitaka with a total volume of 1.7 18. 1999 10, the vegetarian restaurant of Xiangshan Temple was completed and opened, becoming the first vegetarian restaurant in the city.
