Xiaogushan is different from Dagushan in Poyang Lake. Standing in theYangtze River 60 kilometers southeast of Susong City, Xiufeng is independent andformed during the Quaternary glacial period. "Block hundreds of rivers inthousands of miles, accept the mountains at the foot.". "Haimen stone pillar","Yangtze River unique", "river scenery" are the world's praise ofXiaogushan.
The mountain is 86 meters high and only about one mile in circumference. Itwas once called Jishan because it looks like a bun on the head of an ancientwoman. The boat moves in the middle of the river, and the mountain graduallychanges. The villager said: "look at a pen in the south, look like a bell in thewest, look at the chair in the East, look at Xiaotianlong in the north." Lu You,a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty, praised: "the attitude ischangeable, and the belief in nature is also a beautiful thing."
The South Bank of Xiaogushan is opposite to penglangji. The river is soturbulent that the tide can't go up here. Because of the name of Haimen pass, itis called "Chu Sai Wu pass" which locks the Yangtze River. The main building ofXiaogushan is Qixiu temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is locatedon the hillside with green tiles and red walls. The statue of little girl isworshipped in the temple, which is called "Xiaogu Temple" by the people. Mysister-in-law is a pure and beautiful girl in folklore. She fell in love withPeng Lang, but in the end she couldn't get married, so she threw herself intothe river and died. After her death, she turned into a "little lonely mountain"named "Xiaogu mountain". Because Peng Lang was sad for his sister-in-law'sdeath, he turned into Shiji and stood by the river, which is also calledpenglangji. The "dressing Pavilion" on the top of the mountain is said to be myaunt's dressing place. The pavilion is very elegant, with two layers of sixcorners, and you can view the fertile fields of Yunshan mountain from thewindow. The "evergreen tree" behind the pavilion, also known as the "Thoreautree", grows out of the stone, strong and luxuriant. The old man said: "thistree is like the divine tree in the moon. The shuttle used by Vega in the skywas gouged out by this tree. Xiaogu temple has always had a large number ofpilgrims.
Small isolated mountain, everywhere scenery, no scenery is not strange;Temple pavilions, hierarchical. There are longjiaoshi beside the mountain, steepby the river; there are longerdong in the mountain, warm in winter and cool insummer, unfathomable; there is Longkou on the top of the mountain, which is aspowerful as a roar in the sky. There are also yitianmen, longan stone, QiongYaDiCui, Mituo Pavilion, xianyuelou, banbianta, Haishen niche, Tianfei hall,jiechao temple, biyunti, Woyang stone, Guantao stone, Yushi stele, Temple relicsand Haimen stone carvings chanted by famous scholars. These historic sites add alayer of complicated aura to the mythical small isolated mountain cage.Traveling alone is like walking in fairyland. Xie Jin of the Ming Dynasty wrotea poem praising: "a high platform is built on rocks in the middle of the sky,and passers-by come here. Pei Yu still hears that the fairy is going, and takesLuan to suspect that the girl is coming back. Chengjiang autumn water brightmakeup mirror, the top cloud bin Wan bun pile. Why ask Penglai on the sea whenyou look at the southeast? There is an endless stream of Chinese and foreigntourists coming to Xiaogu mountain.
Dear tourists
Hello, everyone. On behalf of Anhui travel agency, I welcome you to YixianCounty for sightseeing. I'm Wang Bing, your tour guide of Xidi Hongcun. Pleasecall me Xiao Wang. I hope that Xiao Wang's explanation and service will makeyour trip more enjoyable. Sitting in the driver's seat is our driver, MasterWang, who has been driving for nearly 20 years, so we can rest assured aboutsafety.
Xidi Hong Village is located in Yi County of Huangshan City. In 20__, itwas listed as a world cultural heritage by UNESCO. In 20__, it was rated as a 4Atourist area by the National Tourism Administration, and became one of the firstbatch of famous historical and cultural villages in China. In 20__, it was alsorecognized by the central government The TV station rated it as "China'scharming town". When it comes to Yi County, I would like to ask you a question.Surely you all know Tao Yuanming's Peach Blossom Land? Do you know where theparadise described by Mr. Wu Liu is? Yes, the tourist is right. It's in Yicounty. His descendants imagined that Yi county was the ideal state they pursuedin the Peach Blossom Land described by their ancestors, so they moved here.Therefore, Yi county is also known as "small Taoyuan". Li Bai, a great poet,once wrote a poem praising Gu Yi: "Yi county's small Taoyuan is a place withthousands of miles of haze. The land is full of trees and plants, and peoplerespect ancient clothes."
Ladies and gentlemen, this morning we will visit Xidi Village, which isknown as the "Museum of ancient Chinese dwellings", and in the afternoon we willvisit Hongcun village, which is known as the "village of Chinese paintings".Xidi village is an ancient village built in the Northern Song Dynasty, where theHu family lived together. It has a history of more than 900 years. Xidi villagehas beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains and continuous peaks. All itsstreets have been paved with blue stones in Yixian County. Most of the ancientbuildings are of wood structure. Huizhou three carvings (wood carvings, stonecarvings and brick carvings) are rich and colorful. Due to the less invasion ofwar in history, it has not been affected With the impact of economicdevelopment, the original form of the village is well preserved.
When it comes to Xidi, I think many friends would like to know why it iscalled Xidi. In fact, there are two versions: one is that the village issurrounded by two streams, and the water flows from east to west. It is calledXidi when the East water flows to the West; the other is that Xidi is located inthe west of Huizhou Prefecture, where there was a delivery shop in the past, soit is called Xidi. Xidi village is shaped like a ship. What are its mast, sail,cabin and sea? Now let's find out.
Ladies and gentlemen, Hu Wenguang's memorial archway is standing tall atthe entrance of the village to welcome us. Originally, there were 13 memorialarchways arranged in turn, most of which were demolished. Hu Wenguang's memorialarchway was fortunately preserved because of painting and Mao Zedong'squotations. You can see that this archway is made of fine Yixian green, which isthe treasure of stone archways in China. When it comes to Hu Wenguang, he isvery famous. In Jiajing of Ming Dynasty, when he was the magistrate of WanzaiCounty in Jiangxi Province, he benefited the people and was loved by the people.He was promoted to the rank of governor of Jiaozhou with outstandingachievements. He was also the chief historian of Jingwang Mansion in HubeiProvince. He was honored as the "Prime Minister of Jingfan" by the fourofficials of the imperial court. Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty grantedpermission to build this archway to carry forward his achievements and spread itto later generations. Let's have a look again. There are 32 round decorativepatterns carved on the bucket arch under the eaves, which are quite exquisite.It symbolizes Hu Wenguang's 32 years as an official, and also expresses hisgratitude for the great kindness of the emperor.
Members, let's move on. Now we are standing in front of the gate of Jingaihall. It is the ancestral hall rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It has always beenthe meeting place of the Hu people. It is a brick and wood structure buildingwith a span of 30 meters. Let's have a look. The two black marble columns with aheight of 6 meters in the lower hall and the two ginkgo wood columns with adiameter of nearly 2 feet in the upper hall face each other and are symmetricalLiang Jia, how magnificent! Do you see the huge "filial piety" character in theback hall? It was written by Zhu Xi, a neo Confucianism of the Southern SongDynasty. Let's take a closer look at the word "Shou". Is it that you can see ahandsome young man bowing on his back and kneeling on the ground to show filialpiety to his elders, while his hindbrain is like a sharp mouthed monkey head,which means that filial piety is human and unfilial is animal It fully embodiesthe Chinese virtue of respecting the elderly.
Now we are entering tujing hall. This is a residence of Hu Ji hall. As soonas we enter the hall, the first thing we see is a portrait of Hu Ji hall and histhree wives. Let's guess which of the three wives is the eldest, which is thesecond and which is the third. Hehe, most people think that the old and thefrail are the eldest Guess, that's a big mistake. Let's tell you, his eldestwife is very young and died young, so she is still pretty. Therefore, it's moreaccurate to judge according to their order. Then let's take a look at HuJitang's clothes. He wears sapphire plumes and patchwork clothes. At a glance,we can see that he is a top three. How can we see that In ancient times, ruby isthe first grade, red coral is the second grade, and sapphire is the third grade.Civil servants wear the pattern of poultry, and military officers wear thepattern of beast. If you look closely, Hu Jitang's clothes are decorated withthe pattern of poultry, so we say he is a civil servant of three grades. Theunique couplet on both sides of Dujing hall is "it's good to study, to dobusiness, to work well, to start a business is difficult, to keep a business isdifficult, to know whether it's difficult". The couplet compares business withreading, expressing the desire of Huizhou merchants to improve their status.
Well, tourists, we visited dijitang, zhuimutang, yuanyangtang and otherscenic spots. The Xidi tour is over. After lunch, we will go to Hongcun, whichis also an ancient village in southern Anhui. What's special about Hongcun?Hongcun is also known as niuxing village. What about Niutou, Niuwei, Niujiao andNiudu 》Where is the spot of dragonflies? Let's have a look in the afternoon!
The main park of balihe scenic spot is located in Nanhu Park of balihe inYingshang County, including "world scenery", "Splendid China" and "Bibo touristarea", covering an area of 3600 mu. Enter the gate of "Splendid China" and cometo the Suzhou style garden, where the green willows are dancing and the flowersare blooming; the artificial rockery is superb; and the corridor built by thelotus pond is full of ups and downs. I really doubt that I have arrived inSuzhou, which is known as heaven.
"Flying down 3000 feet, it is suspected that the Milky way is falling intothe nine sky", which is used to describe the "nine sky waterfall" on the southside of the splendid Chinese garden. Jiutian waterfall is 90 meters long and 20meters high, plus 9 meters. The 9-meter-high statue of Avalokitesvara and itsbase are about 32 meters high. 9 meters, three-dimensional frame 1750 meters.From afar, the waterfall is magnificent and impressive. The 9.9-meter-high audioand video of the spectators, standing on the rockery, can be called a unique. Itis believed that Li Bai's poetry will flourish when he comes here. "If you don'tget to the Great Wall, you are not a hero". You can also climb the great wallhere. "Zhanggong mountain" stands near the lake, and the majestic "Great Wall"hovers up, which is full of the charm of the scenery outside the great wall;climbing the beacon tower, you can enjoy the outstanding beauty of Nanhu Park."Splendid China" also has nine dragon walls, white monk temple and otherattractions, which combines the characteristics of Oriental architectural artand blend the essence of Chinese traditional culture.
Walk out of "Splendid China Gate" and come to "Bibo tourist area". On the3000 mu lake, there are 12 islands, connected by soft and hard bridges. Throughthe exciting and frightening Buyun bridge, you can reach the lake embankment.More than 30 small wooden houses and some animal houses are dotted on the islandaround the lake. The peacocks on the dyke are strolling leisurely with theirgorgeous tails; groups of black swans in the lake are floating on the water, asif enjoying their own beautiful shadows; wild ducks and mandarin ducks areplaying in the water; the bird island in the middle of the lake is a paradisefor birds, with luxuriant trees, birds, geese singing and crane dancing.According to the guide, a large number of migratory birds from the south areattracted here every year. Due to the good environment, climate and waterquality, they will not fly away. On the other island, there is a birdsongforest, which is covered with glue woven net, raising nearly 100 species ofbirds, including Green Peacock, white tailed sea eagle, etc., which are thefirst-class national protected animals; Mandarin Duck, red bellied Caragana,etc., which are the second-class protected animals.
From south to north, Seal Island, YEMA island and HEMA island are on thewest side of the lake embankment, and guishe island is on the north side of theoffice area. There are two islands in the east of the lake, boar island in theSouth and deer island in the north. In Seal Island, seals roll and play in thewater, and some tourists praise their vigorous swimming posture from time totime. In Hippo Island, a big Hippo eats more than 300 Jin of grass a day, whichis amazing.
Balihe scenic spot is just like the holy land of Taoyuan and Penglaifairyland. It is a pure land for people living in noisy cities for a longtime.
The vast lake, the beautiful park, the birdsong forest, the Lianxin bridgeand the resort are all poetic and picturesque. Chinese and Western architecturecomplement each other with exquisite creativity and neat layout. Balihe scenicspot not only has landscape architecture, but also abounds in more than 30 kindsof aquatic products such as Wuchang fish, mandarin fish, turtle, silver carp,eel, etc. It is not only the habitat of 136 species of birds and waterfowls, butalso an important production base of rare fishery products in Northern Anhui,Fuyang water resources reserve and provincial Wetland Nature Reserve. Balihetown was awarded "global top five hundred" by the United Nations in 1994.
Balihe scenic spot is the gift of nature, balihe scenic spot is the wisdomcrystallization of balihe people. The main park, which covers an area of 3600mu, was originally a swamp. Under the leadership of Zhang Jiawang, the Secretaryof the town Party committee, the industrious and intelligent balihe people,after years of hard work, have turned the barren beach into an oasis and thedepression into a park.
Ladies and gentlemen!
The scenic spot we are visiting now is Huangshan Huashan mystery CaveScenic spot. Huashan enigmatic grottoes are ancient grottoes. They arelarge-scale and enigmatic. They are rare in China. The four words "Huashanenigmatic Grottoes" were personally nominated by General Secretary Jiang Zeminduring his visit in May 20__.
Located between 29 ° 39 ′ 34 "and 29 ° 47 ′ 7" north latitude, Huashangrottoes are a group of grottoes on the mysterious line of 30 degrees northlatitude. Also on this mysterious line are: Bermuda Triangle of the NorthAtlantic, Egyptian pyramids and Sphinx, Atlantis, Noah's ark, dead sea, Saharadesert, Mount Everest, Qiantang River tide, mystery of Shennongjia savages,wonders of Huangshan, etc.
What's more amazing is that in the middle of this humble hill, which is nomore than one or two hundred meters high, there is a big mystery, an amazinggroup of caves. The cave has been hidden for many years.
The grottoes are distributed linearly at the foot of Huashan Mountain onthe Bank of Xin'an River, with a total length of about five kilometers. Thirtysix caves have been identified
In addition, Yancun, Shexian County, on the east side of Huashan Mountain,has also proved the existence of a group of grottoes, with 36 Grottoes in numberand similar in shape to Huashan grottoes. The seventy-two caves of the twoGrottoes correspond to the seventy-two peaks of Huangshan Mountain. I don't knowwhether it is a natural coincidence or the deliberate arrangement of theancients.
When it comes to the discovery of grottoes, it is very legendary. One dayin 20__, when the local farmer went up the mountain to collect firewood, heinadvertently stepped on the sand and soil under his feet, and the soil blocksfell one after another, exposing the unfathomable caves on the stone wall. Whenthe local government heard about this, it immediately organized a humanexploration, which led to the re emergence of this huge group of grottoes.
After more than a year of excavation, the Grottoes have begun to showscale. In front of the eyes of the world are Grottoes with a strange pattern andhuge internal space. Some of them have caves in them, some have stone pillars,some have empty valleys and pools, and there are no murals, Buddha statues orwords on the stone walls. In particular, there are two openings in the Xin'anRiver, which adds a sense of mystery to them. On the afternoon of May 20, 20__,during his inspection, President Jiang Zemin sighed: "it's amazing! It's amystery, it's a mystery forever! It's a treasure! If it's publicized abroad,it's really amazing!" and he named this place "Huashan mystery cave".
At present, only cave 2 and cave 35 are available for visitors.
Tourists:
This is cave two. The temperature inside the cave is pleasant. Comparedwith the temperature outside about 10 degrees, it is obviously warm. Cave 2,also known as the underground gallery, is a long and narrow cave
There are two highlights in cave 2, namely, the natural autumn color map onthe stone wall and the large slope on the top of the cave. In the autumn colorpicture, the whole picture is covered with yellow brown autumn leaves, and themountains, peaks and dwellings are black. Among them, the style of Hui stylearchitecture can be clearly seen in the folk houses. There is a white stream infront of it. There is no doubt that it is Xin'anjiang at the foot of themountain.
The large slope was found after dredging. When the foremen dug here, theythought that they had reached the end of the grottoes. However, with the removalof the mud, they found that the wall of the grottoes extended forward in aninclined plane, and another opening could be seen. The slope is about 45degrees, 15 meters wide and 30 meters long, which is consistent with the slopeoutside. On the inclined stone wall, you can see rows of fine straight-linechisel marks. The lines are straight and coherent, giving people a depressingoverall feeling. The appearance of this large slope raises a new mystery: inancient times, when science and technology were relatively backward, how did thecraftsmen accurately determine the slope of the slope and make it consistentwith the trend of the mountain?
Ladies and gentlemen!
We came to cave 35, which is the existing ancient man-made Grottoes inChina, known as underground palace and cool palace. The depth of the Grottoes is170 meters, the location is 18 meters, and the area is about 12000 squaremeters. There are 26 stone columns arranged in the shape of Pinyin, which play asupporting role. It can be seen that the ancient craftsmen are well versed inthe geometric principle of three points and one plane. There are many stonehouses, stone beds, stone bridges, stone buildings, stone troughs and stoneponds in the cave.
Here are a few surprises to remind you:
First, there is a green pool. This blue pool is unfathomable. It has beenpumped for three months, but it still can't be drained;
Second, the stone pillars, which are about ten meters long, form a "pin"shape, forming a reasonable force structure to support the roof of the tunnel,which shows that the application of the theoretical mechanics of the forefathersis very precise;
Third, there is such a big hole, in which there is no echo, which is verywonderful. Especially worth mentioning is the Tonghai bridge at the entrance ofthe cave. Under the bridge is a pool of clear spring water. The sound of thewater is loud, and it is likely that there is a living water source here.
We shuolu down to the cave, where the top of the stone wall clearly visiblecarved patterns. Although it is already 2 meters below the surface of Xin'anRiver, with a drop of 25 meters, the ventilation in the cave is good, so peopledon't feel uncomfortable at the bottom of the cave. In addition, the grotesquestructure of the cave makes the sound waves absorbed by the stone walls, so nomatter how loud the noise is, there is no echo in the cave.
The charm of grottoes lies in a series of mysteries. How were they built?Why did they build these caves? Where did millions of quarries go? How were theymined and transported in those years? There were a few quarried stones in thecaves, why were they not transported out? There were many 10 cm thick walls inthe caves. Why didn't they cut and let them stand in the middle of the stonehall? What are the use of the square and round blind holes on the pillars in thecaves? For example Why is there no historical record of this large-scaleGrottoes? Experts have made all kinds of speculation and analysis, but still cannot find a unified and definite answer.
According to research, the Grottoes have a history of at least 1700 years.At present, there are 15 theories about its origin and function, which are: thetheory of garrison troops in Grottoes; the theory of salt in Huizhou merchants;the theory of prehistoric civilization; the theory of hills; the theory ofquarries; the theory of imperial mausoleum; the theory of Taoist land welfare;the theory of function transformation; the theory of huashigang; the theory offangladong; the theory of building a temple in Lin'an; the theory of Huizhougovernment and yuliangba; the theory of murdering dock; the theory of giantstone culture architecture.
There are two main arguments: one is that it was used as a garrison andammunition depot. It is recorded in Xin'an annals: "in the Eastern Han Dynasty,Sun Quan sent Weiwu Zhonglang to garrison Heqi on the stream in order to flattenshe, she and other places, and later changed the upper reaches of Xin'an Riverto Tunxi. This not only explains the origin of the place name "Tunxi", but alsoprovides an answer for the grottoes. This view can be supported by the spears,axes, a large number of unused stones left in the cave, and the traces of smokeleft on some rock walls.
Another theory holds that the grottoes were built by Hui merchants to storesalt. In ancient times, the geographical location of Huizhou was closed, and theonly shortcut to the outside world was Xin'anjiang. As a result, it became amaterial distribution center, where Huizhou salt merchants dug caves to buildsalt depots. This view can well explain why the caves in the grottoes group havedifferent sizes and styles, because they belong to different salt merchants.
What Huashan mystery cave left to later generations is endless reverie,which aroused people's curiosity and made scholars and tourists come in anendless stream. If one day these mysteries will be explained one by one, willthe grottoes be as tempting as they are now?
This is the charm of Huashan mystery cave. It will leave you suspense andmake you have endless Association and aftertaste!
Let's stop here for the introduction of Huashan riddle cave. We will alwaysremember the riddle like "Huashan riddle cave". Life is a riddle!
thank you!
Shifang is located at xibakou of Chaohu Lake, the entrance of Hubin Avenue.It was built in the midsummer of 1994. It is an antique brand style square withancient cultural landscape. It stands on the lakeside with great momentum,symbolizing the east gate of Chaohu Lake. There are four couplets on both sidesof the stone square, written by Fang Keyi himself. Among them, Liu Zishan, WangGongshou and other calligraphers inscribed "the five lakes in which the watershows a thousand Li brocade of the Ming Dynasty; the four seas in which the nameis rich, the place is smart and the people are outstanding for thousands ofyears". Hubin Avenue, 53 kilometers long, starts from Chaohu City in the Eastand ends at Zhongmiao town in the West. It integrates tourism, flood control,transportation and high-tech agriculture. It was built in 1991 after the flood,with a total investment of 200 million yuan. Lakeside Avenue is a three-levelasphalt pavement, with pavilions and waterside pavilions along the way, withluxuriant flowers and grass, naturally becoming interesting. Xibakou section ofthe urban area has become a place for morning exercise, holiday outing, weekendfishing and summer night cool. It is similar to the Bund of Shanghai. LakesideAvenue is also the forefront of enjoying Chaohu scenery and experiencing Chaohupeople's feelings. The scenery of lakes and mountains and the local customs andpeople's feelings often blend into one. The planned lakeside Avenue will buildleisure resorts, lakeside baths and water upstream parks, and eventually becomea long corridor of eating, living, traveling, shopping and entertainment incentral Anhui. Now you can see Chaohu Lake on the left. The water area of ChaohuLake is 800 square kilometers. It is a lake in the whole province and is listedas one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China. Compared with DongtingLake, Poyang Lake, Taihu Lake and Hongze Lake, Chaohu Lake occupies a smallarea, but has its own characteristics. Chaohu has 23 villages and towns alongthe lake, with a coastline circumference of 180 km, a water surface length of 55km from east to west, and a north-south width of 15 km. When the water level is12 meters, it has an area of 800 square kilometers and a volume of 4.8 billioncubic meters. Chaohu Lake is named because it looks like a bird's nest from adistance.
Here is another story. Chaohu Lake has developed water system, known as"360 branches" since ancient times. The existing rivers into the lake are mainlydistributed in the West and southwest of the lake area. For example, the Nanfeiriver originates from the Dabie Mountains in Western Anhui, the Pai River flowsthrough the upper, middle and lower schools, the Fengle river flows through thethree rivers, the Baishan river flows through the Jinniu River, and the MaweiRiver excavated by Cao Cao is said to originate from the zhegao river at theeastern foot of the feicha mountain. Yuxi River, also known as yuncaohe River,was called ruxu River in ancient times. It starts from donghukou of Chaohu Lakein the West and flows to Yuxikou in the southeast. It has a total length of 75kilometers and connects with the Yangtze River. It is a river system of ChaohuLake. Chaohu Lake basin covers an area of 32345 square kilometers. Due to itsrich water resources and suitable climate, it is a land of fish and rice incentral Anhui.
On the right, you can see Guishan mountain. When you climb the mountain andlook at the lake, you can see that ten thousand hectares of green waves suddenlycontract here and rush to the East. There is a tendency that the water of thelake is pouring from the West. This mountain is the first of the three turtlesin Chaohu Lake. The other two turtles are nanguishan and dongguishan. Nanguishanis located in taoxizui on the South Bank of Chaohu Lake. It is far away fromthis Guishan. Dongguishan, also known as ruxushan, is located in the EastDiaoyutai of lake. Opposite to Guishan mountain is a stone turtle, which isquite different from the others because it is the dragon head, phoenix claw,turtle body, etc. this turtle is the turtle of our Chaohu Lake. It is said thata long time ago, there was a water monster in the lake. It was always makingwaves in the lake, which made the people around restless, and the crops sufferedfrom seedling and no harvest. Later, people heard that the water monster wasafraid of dragons, phoenixes, turtles and People built this stone statue by thelake. Because it is opposite to Guishan, it is called Shigui. Chaohu Lake isalso called Jiaohu lake. There is a moving story about its formation in ChaohuLake. It is said that a long time ago, there was a Chaozhou City in East China(the story is short). To the front is the Middle Temple - Laoshan Scenic spot.Zhongmiao is known as Zhongmiao. It is located in Zhongmiao Town, JuchaoDistrict, Chaohu City, 48 kilometers away from the urban area. In ancient times,it was named Zhongmiao because it was between Juchao and Luzhou, so it is knownas "a beautiful place in the lake". Due to the strong fragrance in the pastdynasties, it is known as "South Jiuhua, North Temple". The Zhongmiao temple wasfirst built in the Han Dynasty. The temple, rebuilt in the first year of theDragon era of the late Tang Dynasty, is "made of yuanwa and Hongliang, which areexquisite and beautiful.". In the second year of Baoda University in theSouthern Tang Dynasty, it was rebuilt. There were 6 rows and 24 rooms in total.The statues of "red face, pink eyebrows and willow green eyebrows" stand in thetreasure room and are listed in the incense altar. In the Yuan Dynasty, thetemple base circle was arched into a bridge, which was called "Aobei cave", anda hall was built on the cave. In the Qing Dynasty, there were "Jiege, Baidian,Tingting and lanxie" in the temple. In the 15th year of the reign of EmperorGuangxu, Li Hongzhang proposed to raise funds for reconstruction. There arethree halls, namely the front hall, the middle hall and the back hall, with morethan 70 rooms. The back hall has three storeys of Sutra Pavilion, eight windows,four corner cornices and corner bells. It was decorated in the 10th year of theRepublic of China. At the end of the 27th year of the Republic of China, theback hall was destroyed by fire, leaving only the front hall, the middle halland the wing room. Since 1986, the temple has been renovated many times, and thefrescoes on the walls and beams of the temple have been more colorful. TheZhongmiao temple is located on the jushiji, one hundred meters from the NorthBank of Chaohu Lake. Shiji was cinnabar color, burst into the lake, shaped likea Phoenix, known as phoenix platform. The ancient temple faces south, facing thelake bank, reflecting waves in the sky and clouds in the hall. On the gate ofthe temple, there are inscriptions of "temple in Chaohu Lake". The double eavesof the whole temple Pavilion fly out, like the crown of Danfeng, shining in thesunset. The temple is now dedicated to Guan Yu, Guanyin and the gods. It is saidthat there are also Taishan jade girl and Chaohu Jiao grandma in the originaltemple
It is located in the water center of Chaohu Lake, 4km away from ZhongmiaoTown, and the Laoshan Mountain in Chaohu and Hefei. It is said that when she wastrapped in Chaozhou, she sacrificed her life to help the world and became thismountain, so it is named. Laoshan is actually an island in the middle of a lakeformed by volcanic eruption more than 100 million years ago, with an altitude of105 meters and an area of 0.86 square kilometers. The mountain is oval in shape,with three mountains in the distance and nine peaks in the near. According tothe annals of Nantang, Laoshan is also called Nantang There is a Wenfeng pagodaon Laoshan Mountain, standing on the top of Bijia mountain. It is a magnificentplace to enjoy the scenery of Chaohu Lake. It is said that grandma Jiao canvisit Gushan better when she ascends the pagoda, so she is also famous for herpagoda. The tower was first built in the fourth year of Chongzhen in the MingDynasty. Yan Ergui, the magistrate of Luzhou, advocated the construction of thetower. It was built with four floors and stopped working because of the peasantuprising. In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the QingDynasty, Li Hongzhang advocated donation and commissioned Wufen, JiangsuProvince, to continue the construction of the third floor. The pagoda has 7floors, 133 levels, and 51 meters high. It is made of stone green brick. It isoctagonal, with cornices on each floor and iron bells hanging on each eaves.There are 802 brick Buddha statues and 25 inscriptions. Because the tower wasbuilt to show the victory of local culture, it was named Wenfeng tower. There isa folk saying: "the pagoda of Laoshan is sharp, and the number one scholar comesout of Luzhou." It is a key cultural relic protection unit at the county level.The body of the tower is composed of three parts: the outer wall, the galleryand the core of the tower. The tower gate is engraved with the word"ladder".
