In the past, tourists could go to Gushan Island by speedboat at Jiangchuan Wharf. Since August 2004, in order to maintain the water quality of Fuxian Lake, all motor boats have been banned from running. In this way, it is a bit difficult for tourists to go to Gushan Island. There is a popular water bike (20 yuan per hour) on Fuxian Lake, which is cheap and environmentally friendly, but the disadvantage is that the riding distance cannot be too long. Admission: 65,438+05 yuan (65,438+0) to discover the tall buildings like pyramids and the circular buildings of the Colosseum in Rome. At the end of 2005, Geng Wei announced the latest discovery of underwater archaeology in Chengjiang County. The golden sonar scan shows the magnificent outline of the underwater city, which is amazing. Geng Wei said that the proven ancient city site covers an area of 2.4 square kilometers, which is no less than that of Chengjiang County in the 1970s. There are eight main buildings, of which two high-step buildings and a circular building are the most important.
One of the tall stepped buildings is divided into three floors, the bottom floor is 60m wide, the second floor is 32m wide, the top floor is 18m wide, and the whole building is 16m high. As can be seen from the sonar scanning, its pace is very neat and symmetrical.
The other staircase building is the most magnificent. It has five floors, one floor is 63 meters wide at the bottom, the second floor is 48 meters wide, and the third and fourth floors have collapsed seriously, so it is impossible to measure them carefully. The fifth floor is 27 meters wide and the whole building is 2 1 meter high, which is similar to the Mayan pyramids in the United States. There are small steps between each big step, and the first big step has a straight small step from bottom to top.
In addition, there is a slate pavement with a length of more than 300 meters and a width of 5-7 meters between the two buildings, which is paved with different shapes of slate with various geometric patterns. In another area, a circular building was also found, with a bottom diameter of 37 meters and a higher south side, and the steps could be vaguely identified. The north of the building collapsed seriously, and there was a gap in the northeast, similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
(2) Altar: The stepped building may be an altar, and the circular building is similar to the ancient Yunnan bronze design. A large number of ancient Yunnan bronzes have been unearthed in Shizhai Mountain, Jinning, Yunnan. After careful observation, Geng Wei found that many bronze buttons (a small round ornament with bronze texture) had stepped architectural patterns, and some also had post architectural patterns for sacrifice. He believes that this shows that sacrificial activities have become very important in the life of ancient Dian people, and those tall stepped buildings are the remains of sacrificial activities of ancient Dian people.
What's even more amazing is that some bronze buttons are engraved with circular staircase architectural patterns, which are almost exactly the same as those found underwater. The circular stepped building on the bronze ware is divided into two floors, one with more than ten people and the other with three or four people sitting on the steps to watch the bullfight or other performances. Geng Wei believes that the underwater circular building is the prototype of the buckle pattern description. Some experts once thought that the circular building was an entertainment facility or a stadium, but Geng Wei disagreed. "If it is a stage building, it will be too luxurious and unrealistic under the social conditions at that time."
Objective Almost all the archaeological achievements about the ancient Dian state are concentrated on the excavation of tombs and cultural relics. No living architectural remains have been found in ancient Yunnan, which has been prosperous for more than 500 years, which makes Geng Wei guess that it is no accident that the high-rise buildings at the bottom of the lake are similar to the patterns on bronzes.
(3) The "sea horseshoe print" and "sea horseshoe print" on the slate may be the basis for ancient Yunnan people to set up wooden houses. Among many legends of Fuxian Lake, the legend about hippocampus is the most bizarre. It is said that this kind of seahorse can run on the lake like a fly, often appearing in the morning fog, and then diving into the water after the fog clears, which is recorded in ancient county annals. Geng Wei thinks that when the water level in Fuxian Lake is very low, people can see holes with a diameter of 8- 15 cm exposed on the slate in a very shallow place, which looks like horseshoe prints. On the underwater structure, he also found many similar holes, some of which have stone nails on their inner edges. At first, he thought that these holes were used to connect slates. Later, he found that these round holes were connected by stakes and ropes, which would form a regular rectangle.
Archaeologists found that ancient Yunnan architecture was mainly column architecture by studying the bronze patterns of ancient Yunnan civilization. This kind of column building is a building made of bamboo and wood first, then the bottom floor is hoisted, and then the wall is repaired. Geng Wei believes that the rectangle formed by inserting wood into the stone slab hole completely conforms to the foundation of column architecture. From this, he came to the conclusion that the footprint of the so-called seahorse is the foundation of the column building with vertical trees, and the underwater monument of Fuxian Lake is bound to be directly related to the ancient Yunnan civilization. The scale is not inferior to that of Mayan civilization, and its research will become a worldwide topic. In the history of Chengjiang County, Yunnan Province, there are three cities with historical records, the earliest of which is Yuyuan Ancient City, which later mysteriously disappeared in the history books. This is also the reason why many experts tend to think that the underwater city is Yuyuan Garden City. However, Geng Wei has a unique interpretation of the word "Yu Yuan". He believes that "Yu" means "initial" in ancient Chinese, and "Yuan" means "primitive" and "basic". The combination of the two is "the foundation of the initial height."
Geng Wei said, "Compared with other ancient civilization relics. The scale of underwater remains in Fuxian Lake is by no means inferior. It has a tall building over 2 1 m, which is rare in the ruins of Mayan civilization. The study of it will be a worldwide topic, and the mystery of ancient Yunnan civilization that has plagued the archaeological community for many years is likely to be revealed through the underwater monuments of Fuxian Lake. "
In 279 BC, ethnic minorities. Just as Zhuangxia was preparing to dispatch troops, it happened that Qin invaded Chu and cut off his way back to China. In Yunnan, Zhuangshu is called Wang Jianguo for short, and it is called "Zhuangshu Wangdian" in history.
In the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the central dynasty designated the area where Yunnan was located as "Yizhou County", which had jurisdiction over 24 counties. The king of Dian became the nominal ruler, and the ancient Dian civilization gradually weakened and merged into the Central Plains civilization. Due to the lack of written records, everything about ancient Yunnan gradually disappeared into obscurity and became an unknown historical mystery.
Seven mysteries
Fuxian Lake has always left a mysterious impression on the world, and its seven eternal mysteries have also been left by generations of lakeside people:
Mystery1; Is there a natural human bank under Fuxian Lake? According to the diver who once sneaked into the bottom of the lake, there are a large number of bodies at the bottom of Fuxian Lake, and the underwater bodies are all inclined. Men lean forward and women lean back, naturally drifting, just like living people.
Mystery 2; There are big fish in the lake? The big fish in Fuxian Lake is not a big fish in the general sense. Someone said: once I crossed Fuxian Lake by boat and arrived at Jianshan, and I saw something like a boat not far away, but it was the back of a big fish.
Mystery 3; Submerged structure? There is a local saying that in ancient times, Fuxian Lake was located in a dam. Inside the dam, there is a prosperous city. Later, a flood flooded the dam and the once prosperous city sank to the bottom.
Mystery 4; Aviation no-fly zone? During the Anti-Japanese War, a Kuomintang plane was ready to land at Chenggong Airport. It didn't want to deviate from its course, and it crashed into Hushan near Fuxian Lake, eventually causing the plane to crash and die. In the 1980 s, when a military plane of our army flew over Fuxian Lake, the instrument broke down, which eventually led to the plane losing control and falling into the lake ... Similar accidents occurred many times. Later, Fuxian Lake was listed as an "aviation no-fly zone".
Mystery 5; Surprise aura? 199 1 year 10 October 24th happens to be the "first frost" day among the 24 solar terms. Villager Zhang Yuxiang and others went fishing in the lake by boat, but they were surprised to find a luminous disc in the center of the lake, which was very dazzling.
Mystery 6; Haruyama Sakura? According to folk rumors, there is a Dragon Palace and many caves under the lonely mountain. The fish in Fuxian Lake often go to play, but the hole is too small and too big, so they can't get out every time they go in, and finally stay in it forever.
Mystery 7; Boundary fish stone? On the river between Fuxian Lake and Xingyun Lake, there is a "boundary fish stone". Every time the anti-wave fish from Fuxian Lake and the bighead carp from Xingyun Lake swim here and come back separately, the spectacle of "the two lakes meet, but the fish don't come and go" is formed.
These legends are mysterious in themselves, and their authenticity is even more doubtful, coupled with artificial processing and tampering in the process of communication. But some legends have been gradually confirmed, such as the mystery of submerged structure. More than 20 kinds of fish in Chengjiang Lotus Root and Fuxian Lake, as well as potato braised rice cooked by farmers, are all local specialties. Eating fish in Xingyu Cave is part of the travel schedule. Xingyu Cave is close to the water, and the restaurant is lined up. All the dishes-copper pot fish, potato stew rice, fish are mostly caught from the lake, very fresh. After the guests choose the fish and weigh it, the restaurant cooks the fish in a copper pot with clear water. The fish is fresh and tender without any fishy smell. Potato stew rice is also slowly baked in a copper pot on the fire, and all kinds of pickles in the farmhouse taste good.
Copper pot fish: Chengjiang copper pot fish is made of fish, water and copper pot in Fuxian Lake, which is a dish with local characteristics. Fish soup with clear soup only needs onions and ginger. The protagonist is a plate of fried dried peppers with peanuts, garlic and sesame oil, supplemented by hot and sour seeds and fermented bean curd, some parsley and mint, and then a plate of shrimp in Fuxian Lake, which is the first-class taste of saliva. Anti-wave fish is a unique fish species in Fuxian Lake, which is not found in other lakes. Luchong Village: 10
