Commentary on photography of scenery in the mountains of my hometown
? To visit the mountains of our hometown, we started climbing from the west end. From Matuo Mountain to Baiyajian to Dashanbao to Xianren Shaiwang, the path is about to draw a huge parabola in the air.
? Lion’s Mouth is the entrance at the west end. There is a stone nest at the entrance that really looks like a lion's mouth. The lion that comes out of the mountain opens its mouth and roars wildly, so it is named because of its appearance. This is located at the exit of the largest mountain rush in the two towns and one area. There are stone lions in the east and stone elephants in the west, which echo and form a geomantic treasure. The old man said that the name of this Feng Shui is "Lion Elephant Water Keeping Mouth". It is also known as the "Four Treasures of Horse Camel Mountain" together with the "Venus hanging on the bright moon" at the southwest foot of the mountain, the "Tianma drinking from the mountain spring" on the concave surface of the mountain, and the "stone man riding a camel" on the west slope.
? Follow the stone path up the mountain, and there is a natural lava cave on the left hand side above the lion's mouth, called Bei Zhan Cave. The name comes from the era of preparation for war and famine in the last century. At that time, the Ming clan ancestral hall at the northern foot of Maduo Mountain was the administrative office of Xiangqian Commune. The commune cadres bulldozed the stone cave and named it "War Preparation Cave" accordingly. This preparation cave is the upper cave of the two natural caves here. In fact, both caves have ancient names. Old people still remember: the upper cave is called "White Deer Cave", because it is said that the auspicious beast that appears once in a thousand years, the white deer, once appeared here; the lower cave is called "Wendeer Cave" because The spotted deer once lived in this cave. It is said that the spotted deer is different from the sika deer. It is not a spotted deer, but a striped pattern. The spotted deer is a rare tiger-spotted deer. It is said that the patterned deer is also an auspicious creature that appears once in eight hundred years. Therefore, the old people collectively call the upper and lower caves "Double Deer Cave", and some geographical immortals say that this Feng Shui name is "Fu Lu Shuangquan", also called "White Deer Pattern". If there is one unique thing about this "White Deer Pattern", it is the other name of "Patterned Deer Cave" - ??"Cishu Cave". Who gave the book to whom? There is a saying that Sun Quan gave Lu Meng a book during the Three Kingdoms period, and Lu Meng lived in this cave to study scriptures. Therefore, "Wen Zhang Cave" is also called "Wen Zhang Cave", and "White Deer Wen Zhang" is the amazing legend of Lu Meng.
? Pass by Bei Zhan Cave and continue up the mountain. Go eastward and turn south on the cross road at the top of the cliff to reach Mayin Cave. This is the place where the legendary "Tianma drinks from the mountain spring". Mayin Cave and the boulder "Shiren Chao" (also called Poet Chao) on the west slope of the mountain ridge on the west side are collectively known as "The Heavenly Horse Drinks from the Spring and the Poet Controls the Camel". This is the origin of the name of Maduoshan. When this cave is said to be "horseworm cave", horseworm is the rainbow, which means that this cave is the cave where rainbow drinks water. Mayin Cave has two entrances fifty or sixty meters apart. One is at the lowest point of the mountain basin, which is the natural sewer of the mountain basin, and the other is on the north slope. The south entrance is sunken, the north entrance is diagonally inserted, and the cave crosses it. The cave is bright and bright. There is also a cave inside, which is dark and dark, and few people go down to explore it.
? A hundred meters upstream from Mayin Cave is Guanyin Temple, where a Buddhist fairy lives and practices. Guanyin Temple is named after Guanyin Cave.
? Guanyin Cave, named because the Guanyin soil in the cave once fed the hungry people and saved them from famine, and because it is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva once appeared here. The entrance of Guanyin Cave is under a small rock. Follow the slope and you will reach the hall in the cave. After entering the hall, wait a moment for your vision to adapt. You can see that it is tall, five or six meters high, and wide, more than ten meters square. There is a big stone turtle lying on the floor of the cave hall, and there is a stone Buddha - Guanyin Bodhisattva on the cave wall. Surrounding the stone Buddha is an isolated corridor. The corridor hugs the stone Buddha and turns around before returning to the hall. The stone wall where the Stone Buddha is located is a huge Optimus Prime in the cave. There is a branch cave in the ring corridor that can go deep into the cave. There is a drop of spring in the cave that continues all year round, and there are also many strange stalactites.
? More than a hundred meters southeast from Guanyin Cave is Fendanping. Fendangping is probably a place name left over from the ancient times of slash-and-burn farming.
? Go up the hillside again, pass through the narrow alleys, and about a mile away you will find Xiechaiping. As the name of the place suggests, it means the flat where the loads of firewood were rested. It is a testimony to the era of chopping firewood and making fire for cooking. Xiechaiping is the neck of the mountain to the west of Tonggubao. Go uphill to the east and onto the top of Tonggubao, then turn south and go uphill to reach the peak.
? Walking up the steep slope, you will reach the narrow mouth of the mountain depression between the white cliff tip and the middle cliff tip. The narrow mouth is shaped like a pig's mouth, so it is named wild boar mouth. The valley above Yezhukou is a cedar forest, and the slope near the center cliff is a camellia forest. The shoulders of the two peaks, Baiyajian and Zhongyajian, are connected to form a mountain ridge. There is a small flat area on the mountain ridge, which used to be a good place to cut firewood, rest and enjoy the cool air.
? Go uphill to the southeast and you will reach the tip of the white cliff. There is a resting pavilion on the top of the white cliff, which is very exquisite and unique. A meaningful couplet is engraved on the two pillars of the pavilion: "Calling the river wind to invite the mountain and the moon to read the smoke and rain carvings on the cliff, interpreting the language of flowers and imitating the bamboo posture to explore the forest." The pavilion has two floors, and the four words "Moonlight is infinite" are engraved on the top of the beams in the upper floor, and the words are shining in red.
? Go through the neck of the mountain, then go up the hillside to the southeast, and climb to the top of the mountain. This is the tip of the mountain. Dashan Baojian is now a unit of Junshan Wind Power Generation, equipped with a large windmill. It can be seen for dozens of miles below the mountain.
? Going down the hillside from the main peak of Dashan Baojian to the east is Leidagou. In ancient times, there was a dispute over the mountain boundary between the two places, which alarmed the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven sent Thunder God, who smashed the mountain skin into a ravine with a thunderbolt. From then on, it was bounded by ravines. This legend is the origin of the place name Leidagou.
? Turn north and go down, which is the Bazi Cliff. The two cliffs echo each other to form the character "horoscope", hence the name. There are couplets in the rest pavilion of Bazi Cliff: "Ling Yun Shu Xiao Han and Tang Dynasty Rhymes, leaning on the threshold to sing the Wu Chu wind." There are records in ancient books: "In ancient times, there were vast rivers in front of the mountains, and there were immortals who were independent from the world. They fished alone in the snow in the river or used nets to fly in the waves..." Legend has it that this hillside is where the immortals dried their nets in their spare time.
? Walking down the fairy netting to the foot of the mountain, there is a clear and delicious mountain spring at the bottom of the rock at the foot of the mountain. This mountain spring is called Liujiaquan, also known as Liujiaquan. Legend has it that there is a village girl Liu Jia who likes to drink from the spring, which makes her color bright and tender, her voice crisp and smooth, and she can sing and dance well. This spring is famous all over the world because of the beauty Liu Jia.
? After leaving the foot of the mountain from Liu Jiaquan, we arrived at Gangquan Villa. Located at the foot of Ma Tou Mountain to the east of Ma Tuo Mountain, it is connected to Huangyang Avenue to the west and Taihuang Highway to the north. It is convenient and elegant. It integrates fitness, entertainment and leisure among the bright mountains and beautiful waters, allowing people to enjoy all the elegance: fishing in the clear waters, picking fresh food in season, Watching sika deer...
The process of climbing and descending is a big circle, from the foot of the west mountain to the short peak to the peak to the foot of the east mountain. Then turn west on the flat land back into the bay.
