In fact, the definition of beauty has always been controversial, because everyone has their own criteria for judging beauty. But these four are recognized as the four beauties. Among them, Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji, as one of the most popular groups in history, have written their poems and told countless stories about them from ancient times to the present.
Regarding Yang Yuhuan's native place, some people say that she is from Rongzhou (now Rongxian) in Guangxi, Huayin County in Shaanxi and Yongle in Shanxi. In the Tang Dynasty, Xu Zizhen recorded in the article "The Inscription of Yang Guifei in Jinning County, Rongzhou" that Yang Guifei's native place is indeed today's Rong County. Up to now, there are the ruins of Yang Guifei Temple and Guifei Well in Rong County, and the ruins of Yang Guifei Dressing Table in the east of the county seat.
Today, I will take you to Rong County, Yang Guifei's hometown.
Rongxian County was called Rongzhou in ancient times, and it was located here in the Western Jin Dynasty, with a history of 1700 years.
In 1950s after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Rongxian was called Rongxian Special Zone, which governed Wuzhou, Yulin and other counties and cities, and once became an important political, economic and cultural center of Lingnan. This magical land, with outstanding people and talented people, Yang Yuhuan is one of them.
In addition, Rongxian County is located between Rongda Mountain and Yunkai Mountain. The mountains in the county overlap, the valleys alternate with each other, the valleys alternate, the hills fluctuate, and the landform types are very complicated. Just like the water and soil given by God, the natural landscape of Rongxian County is also a must.
In Rong county, there is a place called "fairyland on earth"-Jiaodu.
Jiaodu is one of the famous mountains in southeast Guangxi, located in the south of Rongcheng, Rong County, Guangxi, about 10 km away from Rongcheng, and is famous for its typical Danxia landform.
Danxia is the most special feeling of nature for the land, with magical power. She is the brightest touch in latosolic red, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Jiaodu Mountain is composed of tertiary "red beds". The so-called tertiary "red beds" belong to inland lake basin deposits, mainly sandstone and conglomerate. Because the ancient climate was hot and dry at that time, the low-priced iron in the sediments was oxidized into high-priced iron, so the rock stratum was dyed purple or brown, so it was called "red bed".
From a distance, among the lush green plants, with the red Danxia Mountain Group, it looks like a picture with bright composition. Bold red blocks set the tone and green clusters embellish the details. The mountains are ever-changing, grotesque and beautiful. It is hard to imagine that a landscape can have such a complicated look and feel.
More specifically, Jiaodu is rich in human resources and profound in cultural heritage.
Jiaodu has been a famous religious shrine, scenic spot and lecture place in southeast Guangxi since ancient times. As early as the Han Dynasty, Liu Gen, Hua and others went to the mountains to practice. With the introduction of Buddhism into China, Jiaodu became a Buddhist resort. During the Tang Dynasty, there were nine temples and thirteen views on the mountain, which were brilliant for a while.
In the Song Dynasty, a temple was built in Baoyuanyan to mold and worship Confucius and his disciples, so Jiaodu became a place where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism flourished together. Even in the whole country, there are few religious shrines in Du Like.
People who come here must be sincere.
In addition, many scholars left poems praising the focal degree.
For example, when Su Dongpo, a poet in the Song Dynasty, passed through Rongzhou, he wrote poems for Shao Yanfu, a monk in the mountains. When Xu Xiake, a famous traveler in Ming Dynasty, visited Jiaodu, he stayed at Jing Ling Temple in this mountain, leaving immortal poems and travel notes.
Magnificent natural scenery and profound cultural heritage complement each other, setting off Jiaodu Mountain.
Because the focal degree is too great, the development of tourism resources in Jiaodu Mountain is only limited to a corner in the west, accounting for only a quarter of the whole scenic spot. This is Qingshou Rock, with an area of about 4 square kilometers.
Jiaodu Qingshou Rock is located in the southeast of Yungai Peak, the main peak of Jiaodu, and it is a temple in a strict sense. If you look down from a height, temples with orange-red roofs are particularly prominent in the quiet natural Shan Ye.
There are 500 arhats hidden in the natural caves above the temple.
I think the morning bell and the evening drum of the temple should be able to travel far and far when the sun goes down in the morning.
This is the Qingshouyan Temple, which is known as "a unique skill in Lingnan". There have been five generations since the handover of the first abbot of Zen Temple in the late Qing Dynasty.
Temples are also built in caves, where the bright sunshine pours down and the golden Buddha statues shine.
Now there are Daxiong Hall, Second Hall, Wing Room and Monk Room. In Qingshouyan Temple full of incense.
Famous mountains naturally need famous temples to live up to a good mountain and water. Living in the city for a long time, it is a special baptism to have the opportunity to come to Jiaodu, stay away from the hubbub and listen to the Buddha's voice.
Surrounded by Shan Ye, the building doesn't look abrupt at all, as if it grew here.
When the clear sunshine shines, you only feel that you have become an ordinary thing in the mountains, and you will grow up with the years. Everything that once bothered you has become illusory.
Opposite the cave above Qingshouyan, there are 500 arhats. This kind of placement is the only one in China.
The reason why there are these caves is that the red bed with focal power is rich in calcium, and many caves are formed along the bed during weathering and erosion. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 300 caves with large and small focal power, of which 100 has been named, which is very spectacular.
Looking closely at the statues of Luohan, we can see that they are all cracked, but we can still see that each one is different and lifelike.
In addition, Qingshouyan also has a unique skill-the world's largest Buddha word. This is Mr. Zhao Puchu's masterpiece, with a height of 108m and a width of 88m, which is a wonder of the world.
Because the mountain where the word Buddha is located is like a natural sitting Buddha, it has the reputation of "Mountain is Buddha, Buddha is mountain".
Overlooking the Buddha's character, the huge figure invisibly brings a natural sense of oppression. If you stare for a long time, you will be infected by the solemnity of Buddhism.
Mountain and water are an eternal and wonderful combination. The elegance of mountains and the softness of water are the most beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.
Qingshouyan is surrounded by lush trees, clear water and beautiful scenery. It's fairyland, that's all. So it is also called "Jiuzhaigou in Guangxi".
If you are brave enough, you must try the glass plank road.
The glass plank road in Jiaodu Mountain is different from what we usually see. The plank road here is relatively long, directly crossing the water.
Walking on the plank road, looking up is blue sky and white clouds, and looking down is clear water.
Bold people not only dare to stop to take pictures, but occasionally stomp their feet mischievously; The timid can only run, with deep and shallow steps, and dare not stop for a moment.
The exciting feeling of this moment is really unspeakable unless you experience it yourself.
Finally, I recommend Yangxin College to you.
With flowing water and buildings, you can't guess that Yangxin College is a tourist resort hotel, covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters.
If you don't particularly pursue the mental journey of chanting and meditation, you can practice yourself in Yangxin College, which is close enough to Zen.
Of course, you can also study here. Many schools will organize students to broaden their horizons in Jiaodu Mountain through group travel and accommodation.
As the old saying goes, the sun and the moon grow in the mountains. Probably because the scenery is so beautiful that people forget that time has passed. Then, you are also welcome to feel the fun of nature.
