Introduction to Niufeng Mountain
It is a treasure left to nature by geological changes. It is hidden in the northwest border of our county where there are many outstanding people. It is a strange peak among the continuous mountains that stands alone in the sky. The infinite charm of the miraculous craftsmanship; it is steep because of the mountains and cliffs, secluded because of the dense forests, and beautiful because of the chirping of birds; it absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, shines with the sun and the moon, and blends into one of the eight sceneries; it has many, many The indescribable legends and stories awed countless civil servants and military generals. On it, countless literati and poets have poured their love and ink on it, and many heroes have fought and drawn swords for it. It is the charming Niufeng Mountain, which has been lying in the mist-shrouded Shuanggu Town, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province for thousands of years.
In the golden autumn season, the autumn breeze brought coolness. On a sunny day, the reporter came to her in admiration and witnessed her mysterious and alluring figure, which was slightly revealed in "Niu Style" Her mysterious veil.
It was named Niufeng Mountain because the mountain resembles a cow
Niufeng Mountain, also known as Yuntai Mountain in ancient times, is about 800 meters above sea level and 400 meters in relative height. It surrounds the middle of the mountain for nearly 10 kilometers. The foot of the mountain covers an area of ??nearly 2 square kilometers, 30 kilometers away from Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province, south of Shuanggu Town, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province, and about 2 kilometers away from Chang Town. It is a high mountain with protruding fault rocks caused by extremely strong geological movements in ancient times. The top of the mountain is more than 2,000 meters long and 200 to 700 meters wide, with a total area of ??nearly 0.7 square kilometers. Because the mountain shape resembles a slightly curly lying cow, it was named Niufeng Mountain. There is a high ridge in the middle of this mountain range, which looks like an ox's back, with an ox's head and an ox's tail. There is a cave in Liangdong Mountain in front of Niutou, which looks like a pile for tying cattle, so it is more vivid to name it after a cow.
According to legend, this curly lying cow is also a white-coated cow. It is very beautiful, and its milk is fragrant and can be smelled from miles away. However, because this cow was not "pace and disciplined", it often slipped out of the mountains at night and ran to the vicinity of the county government to destroy crops. Therefore, during the Qing Dynasty, Huang Daben, who was the governor of our county, sent people to the key mountains of the cow's neck. , a hole about 3 meters wide and more than 20 meters deep was dug. Local villagers said that since the hole was dug, water like blood flowed from the hole for dozens of days. At this artificial opening, there are traces of carved inscriptions on the cliff next to it. It is impossible to verify whether it is a record of the opening, because local villagers said that they were all destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The content of the inscription is unclear.
The "Rong County Chronicle" records that Niufeng Mountain has no peak, because the mountain is shaped like a cow with a bulging neck. "Feng" is the same as "Feng", hence the name. Niutou looks east to Liangdong Mountain. Because there is a cave in the mountain that looks like a full moon, it is commonly known as "rhinoceros looking at the moon." The cow's tail meanders towards the south, as if dormant, and is said to be a "sleeping cow". Niufengzhai was built on the mountain in the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1853). The village has five gates, four of which are carved into the cliff.
The Eight Scenes of Niufeng are Picturesque
The mountain has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. The ancient people who lived in this mountain found the eight beautiful scenes in her Fengyun:
Fenglin Qiuyue is in Fenglin Bay of Shanzhai Fort, which is a place shaped like an ox's tail. In the past, the woods were dense and exotic birds lived in groups, especially pheasants and mountain beetles (bird names). The bird's feathers are gorgeous and as beautiful as a phoenix, hence the name "Fenglin". Legend has it that in autumn, when the air is crisp and the moon and stars are scarce, you can pick up an embroidery needle even if it falls to the ground. Therefore, it is called "Fenglin Qiuyue". With the closure of the mountains for afforestation in recent years, the trees here are also growing vigorously, and many kinds of birds are dancing in the forest.
Cui Xian Qingyin The abrupt part of the ox tail, which is shaped like a place where a cow urinates, is covered by green bamboo on the mountain and a clear spring flows at the foot of the mountain. The water is clear and refreshing, with a sweet taste; the flowing water sounds like a harp, crisp and sweet, hence the name "Cui Xian Qingyin". Today, the clear mountain spring water here still flows down the cliff.
Misty and rainy sentry tower At the highest point of the mountain, at the backbone of the cow, there used to be a sentry tower, which was often shrouded in clouds and mist. When the fog is thick, there must be rain, and the sentry tower disappears and appears sometimes, so it is called "sentinel tower fog and rain". Local villagers told reporters that nowadays, that place is often covered by clouds and fog. Sometimes, you can see rising clouds and fog surrounding the ridge, which is particularly beautiful.
Jixue Tianqiao Niujing is the narrowest part of the mountain, with a cave underneath, forming a natural bridge. In the middle of winter, snow falls all over the mountain. Although it is high here, there is no snow, hence the name.
The Cunren Bureau of Niufeng Village, which manages village affairs, is called the "Gong Bureau" for short. It has an eight-character pink wall, a wide entrance and an inner courtyard, with "Taiyue Tower" on the left and "Zuimo Pavilion" on the right. The door faces more than 30 stone steps. The sun rises in the east and the morning light shines brightly. I stop in front of the door and look around. I have a broad mind and focus on the distance, so it is called "Gongju Sunny". Local villagers said that because rich families lived on this mountain in the past, all gold and silver treasures were stored here. After liberation, when digging the land for farming, they even found jars of silver coins.
The fragrance of cow's milk is strong. At the breast of the tripe, the cliff spring overflows and forms a canal along the stream. The water is sweet and fragrant and can be drunk by thousands of people, hence the name.
Among the five gates in Xunfeng Niufeng Village, the geographically advantageous gate is the most dangerous. The gate is divided into upper and lower gates: the lower gate is a stone wall wooden shed (destroyed), and the upper gate is cut through the cliff and juxtaposed Iron covered door. There are more than 100 steps of stone stairs at the entrance. The walls on both sides are covered with berries and moss. Water drips all year round and the mist never disperses. Even in the scorching heat, you still feel the cool breeze. The inscription on the inside of the door is "Flying springs fill the blue sky", and the inscription on the outside is "The location is favorable and the wind is fragrant".
White Screen Evening Photo There is a smooth cliff at the head of the cow, which is gray-white and looks like a screen.
When the moon shines on it, the Mozi Valley one mile away is extremely bright, so it is called "White Screen Evening Light".
There are many stories about Niufeng Mountain
Liang Hanxue, 85, and Fan Fuyou, who is in his 70s, are both retired teachers. They also devoted themselves to collecting and sorting out historical materials related to Niufeng Mountain, and organized two The reporter was obsessed with the creation of "Niu Feng Qing" by the Guzhen Elderly Association. Through interviews with them and reviewing collected historical materials, the reporter saw the changes in Niufeng Mountain and heard the mythical legends of Niufeng Mountain.
Niufeng Mountain is surrounded by high cliffs and has a wide area, so there is land for building houses. There are also abundant springs on the mountain, and there are ponds to store water. As long as there is plenty of food, water and vegetables can be supplied for a long time. Tens of thousands of people. According to the "Niufeng Village Chronicles": "This village has always been a refuge from chaos. The mountains are steep and the water source is abundant. It is the most dangerous pass in the city." "Since the Ming Dynasty, there have been about tens of thousands of people who have relied on this village to survive the wars in six nearby counties." "During the Xianfeng period of the Jiaqing Dynasty, two officials presented Yu Pei and Li Lan, who spent more than 80,000 gold to repair the troubled wells in Leqianwei, Ziyi, Longfu and eight counties. There were more than 2,000 gentry and people living in the village to avoid thieves, and their family members were no less than 30,000."
During the Li Lan Uprising in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Niufengzhai Mountain Bay was three or four miles away from each other. The houses were connected together like a market street. At night, thousands of houses were lit up and it was very lively. Zigong Da'an Village was almost destroyed, but Niufeng Village was as stable as Mount Tai.
There is no rumor that Niufeng Village has ever been breached. The existing "Zhai Zhi" also contains: "It is said that when the thieves entered Sichuan, the local people built a stronghold here and were surrounded for half a year. There was no way to lead the mother pig to Guanyin Rock or Renhe Gate and other places, and pressed it from time to time. The thief said: " "How long will it take for meat to break through?" Then he broke the siege and went to the cliff at the mouth of today's Shaba. There were five stoves of different shapes and sizes, which were the places where the thieves were cooking, so it was named "Five-Eyed Stove Cloud". According to the "Biography of Zhang Xianzhong", Zhang Xianzhong was considered a strategist who was good at fighting. He had a group of counselors and fast horses. His attacks on cities were often unexpected and difficult to defeat the enemy. However, Niufengzhai was surrounded for half a year and escaped without being broken. . Niufengzhai is unbreakable, far better than the city of the state capital.
Legend has it that when Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to besiege this place, the mountain stronghold failed to be breached because the people on the mountain drove a few pigs to follow the ridge and deliberately beat the pigs until they howled so that Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers at the foot of the mountain Feeling that the people on the mountain had no worries about food, the purpose of the siege was difficult to achieve; at the same time, the people on the mountain village deliberately knitted a pair of straw sandals more than 2 feet long, then polished the soles and threw them down the mountain, making Zhang Xianzhong's sergeant feel that the people on the mountain were extremely tall. It was difficult to win, so they had to retreat.
Niufeng Mountain not only has natural dangers, but the construction project is also very extensive. The nearly 6-kilometer-long rock edge around it, wherever the village felt a little uneasy, was cut down and built up, forming a cliff that was as solid as a city wall. There are walls near the rocks in many places. The thickness of the wall stones is 0.45 meters or 0.60 meters. The wall height is generally about 1.5 meters. When it is strictly guarded, it can be as high as 10 to 8 meters. There are battlements on the wall. Where there is a village wall, there is a sentry shed not far away, which is used for night watch and inspection. There are forts built at Guanyin Rock, Dili Gate and Renhe Gate. At the highest point of Niubei, there is a three-story sentry tower. There were originally three gates: Tianshi Gate, Dili Gate and Renhe Gate.
Niufengzhai is not an ideal paradise for the rich. Most people believe that one man is in charge of the gate and no one can open it. As long as the gate of the village is closed, you can sit back and relax. This is not the case. "Niufeng Village Chronicles" records: "The village is not prone to open attacks but secret attacks. The only secret attack is to hang people up the mountain for one far. Two or three hundred people were hanged up the mountain. In front of everyone in their sleep, they raised their arms and called out. Young women, who dare to go out to the enemy, only hear each other's shouts. Even if there are strong men who have practiced martial arts, they are also in a hurry in the dark, looking for clothes and swords, and they are fighting hard. One person can fight against ten people, and two or three hundred people can fight. There are two to three thousand enemies, and Zhenjue Yong breaks the embankment and is powerless."
Niufengzhai is extremely wealthy and is coveted by the government. In the third year of Xianfeng, which was the early stage of Hong Xiuquan's uprising, Rong County Governor Zhao Youtai imprisoned brother Zhu Guozhang, the head of the village regiment, on the grounds that Niufeng Village secretly manufactured weapons. The boxes and cages on the village were also put into the county treasury in the name of acting as a safe box in the county treasury. When leaving the warehouse, there was a shortage of more than fifty boxes and cages from Niufengzhai. Troops were mobilized in the village, and the lawsuit was brought to the Chief Secretary. There was also a scholar from Rong County who delayed his arrival in Beijing to receive an official position. The case was pending for more than two years, and Governor Zhao was transferred to Anyue. When he was released to the head of the regiment, the people in the village were happy.
Educating talents on Niufeng Mountain
Climbing to the heights of Niufeng Mountain and looking at the endless horizon, I feel very comfortable. Standing on the mountain peak, Mr. Liang Hanxue wiped the sweat from his forehead and fondly recalled the origins of establishing the school on Niufeng Mountain and the years he spent working at Niufeng School every spring, summer, autumn and winter.
He recalled that in 1937, the Japanese invaded North China and then attacked Shanghai. The Chinese people were shocked and deeply distressed by the lack of guns, aircraft, tanks, and scientific and technological talents. At that time, the ambitious people Lai Junqi, Mao Xin, Zou Guyuan, Wei Zuochen, etc. proposed to use part of the village's funds to build a private middle school to make up for the lack of a middle school in Northwest Road in our county, so that students from Northwest Road could have a middle school nearby. It is also good to cultivate a group of anti-Japanese talents.
After this proposal was adopted, a board of directors was elected with Lai Junqi as chairman, Dan Maoxin as vice chairman (honorary chairman), and Hu Shanquan as president. Construction of the school began in 1938. The first batch of 200 students was enrolled in the spring of 1939. The Niufengzhai Administration Bureau was named Cunren Bureau, and the middle school run by Cunren Bureau was named Cunren Middle School, or Cunzhong for short.
Liang Hanxue recalled that Lai Junqi personally selected the school’s location. The classroom of the school is sitting on the head of the cow, and the school gate faces the tail of the cow. Due to the high prestige of the chairman, the teachers hired have very high academic qualifications and standards. The teaching style is rigorous and the teaching quality is high. The anti-Japanese atmosphere is also very strong.
Among the teachers, there were Zhu Cheming, Cheng Jueyuan, Liu Yixian, etc., underground party members of the Communist Party of China, who became an important stronghold on the northwest road of our county at that time. In the intellectual circles of our county, many people know that Cunzhong is a progressive school. Due to high vigilance, the popular will of the people, and the fact that the Kuomintang members in the school regarded it as ignorance, etc., the existing underground party group has never been destroyed. played a historical role.
Liang Xuehan said that because the school has a good academic style and high teaching quality. The students are famous for their hard work and simplicity. In addition, Niufeng is surrounded by mountains, the milk is fragrant, the campus is elegant, the pines reach into the clouds, there are eight sceneries of Niufeng, inscriptions by celebrities, etc., making it a scenic spot with a strong literary style. An ancient saying goes: Beautiful mountains and clear waters bring out literati, and Niufeng Mountain is exactly where it should be. Because Cunzhong was so famous, when General Feng Yuxiang went to Zigong and Rong County to raise funds to fight the Japanese in 1943, he made a special trip to Niufeng Mountain to encourage teachers and students and presented Mr. Lai Junqi with a banner with the words "Teaching Tirelessly". However, Mr. Maoxin went to Niufeng Mountain to visit the teacher many times. Students make the school better and better. After it became a famous school, in addition to the local area, many students came from neighboring counties such as Ziliujing, Gongjing and Rongxian. From 1939 to 1949, more than 2,000 junior high school students were educated. In a period of shortage of talents, the role of these more than 2,000 junior high school students is very significant. In 1975, when the school was moved, the General Secretary trained 8,000 middle and high school students. Thousands of students went to various parts of the country to serve the motherland and played a pillar role in realizing the last wish of our ancestors to run a school.
Liang Hanxue recalled the scene of running a school on the mountain at that time and said, at that time, the mountain was not as deserted as it is now. During the day and night, the sound of reading echoed in this quiet valley. It was worthy of education. It was a good place to educate people, but because there were no roads at that time, the transportation of teachers and students' living materials and learning materials became a big problem, so they had to relocate. Our old teachers who have taught here for many years often miss this place and move there almost every year. Take a trip or two up the mountain to feel nostalgic! Uncle Liang also introduced that since the student dormitories and classrooms are on the mountain, but the sports ground is small at the foot of the mountain, you have to go down the mountain to take physical education class, and then run back to the mountain after class. The students often exercise like this, and their physical strength is very strong. Every time there is a sports meeting, Niufeng Mountain Good results are achieved in long-distance running and other events.
Niufeng welcomes guests from all directions with a smile
On the steep cliffs in the past, the people of Shuanggu Town, under the leadership of the town party committee and government, dug roads into the mountains and built a winding village road. Niufeng Mountain. Starting from the seat of the town government, it only takes more than 20 minutes to climb the mountain peak. On the mist-shrouded mountain peaks, although the reporter did not see the legendary giant tree in the sky, he smelled the tangy fragrance of camellia. The reporter saw that in the fertile land on the mountain, the villagers planted high-quality tea leaves, which are now lush and green.
Town chief Fan Huabin told reporters that there is now a production cooperative with more than 100 people on Niufeng Mountain. In addition to planting tea on the mountain, they also plant ponkans and other fruits. The special geographical climate makes the production here The fruit is particularly sweet. Villagers said that not only are the fruits here delicious, but the chickens, ducks, and pigs raised on the mountain are all pollution-free. Every year, relatives or friends come to the mountain to purchase them.
Cheng Daifu, secretary of the town party committee, said that due to the unique scenery here, many tourists from other places usually come here for sightseeing. The town party committee and government have also gradually guided the villagers on the mountain to take advantage of the unique natural advantages and develop some characteristics. The farmhouse is convenient for tourists from all over the world to dine.
Tourist Map
Tourist address: South of Shuanggu Town, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province, about 2 kilometers away from Chang Town. Is it the miraculous workmanship of God or the changes of nature? A small cave at the foot of a large mountain has given rise to many fantasies by future generations. It was "born" in Qianlong Cave in Group 5 of Sihe Village, Shuanggu Town, Rong County, Zigong City, Sichuan Province; as for its age, no one has yet calculated its age.
Landscape introduction
Qianlong Cave is located at the foot of the undulating mountains. It is about 13 kilometers away from the seat of Shuanggu Town, Rong County, Zigong City, the hometown of high-quality tea, and 30 kilometers away from Rong County, Zigong City. Kilometers, a winding mountain road from Shuanggu Town to Dongxing Town passes by the creek in front of Qianlong Cave.
Under the guidance of local people, reporters recently entered the cave to take a look at the magical masterpieces of Qianlong Cave. Qianlong Cave was "born" at the foot of a mountain with a vertical height of about 1,000 meters. Like the surrounding mountains, this mountain used to be densely covered with jungle. In front of the entrance of the cave was a stream that never dried up all year round. The stream flowing out from the depths of the mountain was clear. Through the bottom, it flows all the way to Shuanggu Town and merges into the endless flowing Yuexi River. The entrance of the cave is about 30 meters high and 8 meters wide. It is in the shape of a regular rectangle. On the right side of the cave entrance, there is a stone pillar that can lift 10,000 tons alone supporting this huge stone door. On a bright moonlit night, it looks like it from a distance. Like an incomparably powerful warrior, guarding here with a gleaming snow sword, there is an independent boulder on the left side of the cave entrance, like a hoarse and grinning bulldog, roaring that no one dares to approach.
Landscape legend
According to local people, this cave is called "Qianlong Cave" or "Qianlong Cave". The former means that the cave was once a dry road pressed at the foot of the mountain. The dragon emerged from a flood at night and swam along the stream at the entrance of the cave like the sea; the latter means that after the dragon swam away, the heavenly soldiers and generals ushered in the crusade. Sweet spring water. In fact, 200 meters below Qianlong Cave, there is a spring that never dries up all year round. It is now diverted to the town by the Shuanggu Town People's Government as drinking water for more than 3,000 residents.
Landscape Overview
Stepping into the high and spacious entrance, a feeling of sudden enlightenment arises spontaneously, and the mood is very comfortable. Entering this cave is like walking into a sacred palace, but also like walking into an unknown treasure house. Here, whatever you want to have, Qianlong Cave will dedicate it to you. A local teacher who is over seventy years old said that Qianlong Cave can be entered through one entrance, but once inside, there are 40 criss-crossing caves. Previous experiments have been done. When the water rises in summer, rice bran is put in from the entrance of the cave. The results flowed out from the mud-stone bridge in Xiaohe Town, Weiyuan County, 4 kilometers away, indicating that the deepest cave here is more than 4 kilometers, but the longest dragon cave that people can see and enter is only more than 500 meters, and the Cha Cave and Among the forks, there are many places where you can "visit" each other.
On the right side of the entrance to the cave, there are hundreds of welcome tea tables of different shapes waiting for you to take a seat, and beside them there are graceful tea fairies waiting to make tea for you; when you enter the cave, you will see, The roof of the cave is decorated with all kinds of strange animals, including roaring lions, flying geese in groups, fairies dancing on clouds, and thundering heavenly soldiers and generals...

There are majestic generals, beautiful girls, endless stalagmites surrounded by three people, birds, animals, love between men and women, and scenes of labor... It will make you have endless imagination and enjoy nature. A beautiful picture for you.
In the cave, in addition to seeing the beautiful scenery, you can also hear the tinkling spring water. The water drops carelessly falling naturally from the top of the cave more than 10 meters high, in the deep cave. Melodious songs were sung inside; and deep inside the cave, next to a man and woman embracing each other, there is a spring pool that never dries up all year round. The water is clear and sweet. The locals say that the boy and girl hugging each other have a deep love for each other. But God wanted to separate them. In order to avoid the pursuit of heavenly soldiers and generals, they went into caves to hide, and their tears flowed into a pool. Deep in the cave, there is a unique opening in the roof of the cave. Sunlight shines into the cave through the gap, making the cave full of glow. According to legend, this crack was torn open when the Qianlong came out of the mountain and the sky collapsed.
Local people said that whenever the wind is high and the moon is dark at night, they can still hear the roar of the dragon, which seems to be the painful groan of being crushed at the foot of the mountain. Local cadres said that this is actually people's imagination. The rare sound may be the sound of strong wind pouring into the cave. The cadre of the village where Qianlong Cave is located told reporters that except for some areas with moisture and water, the rest of the cave is dry all year round, with warm winters and cool summers. Since the road was opened, many tourists come here to visit.
Fan Huabin, mayor of Shuanggu Town, introduced that Shuanggu is the hometown of high-quality tea, rich in tea resources, and there is a natural cave here. There are usually many tourists here for sightseeing, and the town government will also borrow The road construction "every village access" project will increase the construction of road infrastructure and lay the foundation for Shuanggu Town to build tourism agriculture. By then, Qianlong Cave and Niufeng Mountain in the town will also add tourism connotation to Shuanggu Town.
