Brief Introduction of Tianxian Cave in Naxi District of Luzhou City

Naxi Tianxiandong Scenic Area is located at the intersection of Yangtze River and Yongning River, 29 kilometers away from Luzhou.

There is a huge stone beach in the scenic area, and a stone pillar stands in the middle. It is more than one hundred meters high and about two meters thick, all of which are pebbles embracing each other. The stone pillar, like a sharp arrow, pierces the blue sky and stands still after thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow. The finger stone at the front end of Baodaoling is about 3 meters high and 5 meters in diameter, and there is a stone with the size of 1 meter at the bottom of the boulder. With a slight poke of your finger, the boulder will shake; When the wind blows, it will sway from side to side, as if it were going to roll down at any time. For tens of millions of years, it has stood trembling like this. A few years ago, a busybody bet that 32 people wound a rope around a huge stone and pulled it hard for a long time, but the stone still didn't move. Entering the Tianxiandong Scenic Area, there is a huge stone protruding and round like a giant drum, so it is called a drum otolith. The stone is natural and traceless, but there is spring water that seems to be leaching from the pores and gurgling all year round. Gather under the stone to form a pool, which is too big and insufficient, and is neither satisfied nor dry all year round.

Tianxian Cave is abundant in rainfall, surrounded by clouds all the year round, and flowing water gurgles. There are more than 30 waterfalls alone. The vegetation in the scenic area is particularly good, with precious trees such as red beans, nanmu and fir growing. There are as many as 500 Alsophila spinulosa trees known as living fossils of paleontology. The mountain people here have a strong sense of environmental protection. Only the dead branches are picked when burning wood. There are dozens of wild animals such as foxes, hedgehogs, goats, wild boars, leopards, golden monkeys, monkey-faced eagles, egrets and pythons. Peacock River is home to tens of thousands of egrets all the year round. In late spring and early summer, egret eggs were everywhere, but no one picked them up. Egrets rise and fall between green mountains and green waters, croaking and singing, adding a lot of vitality to the silent canyon and forming a unique landscape.

Another wonder of the canyon is fireflies. Every early summer, when the seedlings in the field are jointing, countless fireflies gather in Peacock Valley. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the dense fireflies merged into a long queue for miles, flashing in the canyon, which was quite spectacular. Experts say that the formation of fireflies has its special geographical conditions, and scenes like firefly ditch are unique in the world.

Tianxian Cave is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Yongning River, 29 kilometers away from Luzhou, with high mountains and dense forests and dangerous terrain. It has always been a battleground for military strategists. Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, led 50 thousand troops to fight fiercely with Meng Huo here and captured Meng Huo in one fell swoop. Zhuge Liang's podium, military accounts and the place where Meng Huo was captured and released are still discernible. On the rock wall next to the Peacock River, there is a Sanqu engraved: "Life is seventy years old, except for the old and the young, and there is not much time in the middle, and there are still cold troubles. You can't make more money in the world. Officials spend a lot of money, worry a lot, and have long been bald. Please be careful in front of your eyes, and bury weeds every year. There are new and old graves in the grass, and most of them are clear and not swept. " Signed by Shi Dakai, King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Wing. Calligraphy is not top grade, but the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and there is desolation between strokes. Sanqu is not Shi Dakai's work, but it is consistent with his mood at that time. There are more than a dozen stone carvings by Shi Dakai in the Fairy Cave. Because of its unique landscape, Tianxian Cave has attracted many literati in history, and there are many cultural relics and historical sites, most of which are well preserved.

The crew of the CCTV special program "Travel around China" also went deep into Tianxiandong Scenic Spot in Tianxian Town, Naxi District to shoot the price monument of Tianxiandong.

Tianjiabei is located in Tianxiandong Scenic Area, a provincial-level scenic spot. It was dug on the ancient plank road on the cliff of Ya Dan during Zhuge Liang's southern expedition in the Three Kingdoms period. According to the rock surface, it is embedded in a stone niche with a height of 65,438+0 meters and a width of 65,438+0.8 meters. The monument is 5 meters from the ground, about 3 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is engraved with the words: in the fourth year of Qing Shunzhi, your company was worth more than 30 taels of silver a barrel. Pigs, cows, chickens and ducks were sold for 12 taels before they became feathers, but they were priceless afterwards ... Tigers eat people. In the tenth year of Kangxi's Xinhai, the five grains gave birth to two ears, and the cows returned to twins. For three years, the rice sold for more than 2,000 words ... The inscription was ***208 words, engraved in regular script, and the inscription was "July 27, the twenty-first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty". Inscriptions from 1653 to 1887 recorded the price changes of grain and agricultural products in southern Sichuan during Shunzhi to Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, which truly reflected the price history of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years. The inscription also records astronomical phenomena and anecdotes, and the author also advises the world to do good deeds and accumulate virtue to prolong life. We can learn many lessons from the politics, economy, social history and nature of the Qing Dynasty. According to experts of cultural relics, this is the only price tablet of cliff stone carving found in Sichuan Province so far, which can reflect the price changes in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, and provides valuable information for studying the historical and economic development of the Qing Dynasty in our province and even the whole country.
