It looks to Changshan Temple to the west and Qianyang Lake to the south. It enjoys the reputation of ancient and modern scenic spots because of its deep and ingenious limestone caves. According to legend, Ge Hong and Lei Yang, two famous Taoists of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once lived in this cave to cultivate their nature and practice Taoism and refine elixirs, hence the name Hongyang Cave. And because Yan Song, the powerful prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, studied in the cave when he was young, there are legends about "the fox fairy accompanying him in reading" and "swallowing the night pearl", so it is also called "Yansong Cave" and "Fox Fairy Cave" among the people.

They seemed to be speechless. The rosy clouds flow in the east Badong Cave, and the stone curtain hanging straight down competes with Fang Guangping's poem-writing stone to keep pace with each other. The Dongjiu Cave is the only orifice in the world. A ray of sunshine shines through, giving a little warmth to the place. The numerous small rocks below are like chickens looking at each other, and the stars surround it like holding the moon, spreading sunshine and warmth. Tongtianqiao. In Dongshi Cave, under the cover of falling rocks on the cliff, there is a screen-like naming stone. Since ancient times, countless tourists have named it!

It is said that people from the Jin and Song Dynasties wrote inscriptions in the deep caves. It is impossible to enter the cave without lighting tools, and it is extremely dangerous and difficult to explore. More than 100 meters above Xiaohongyang Cave, another cave was discovered, with heaven and earth inside, yet to be explored and developed.
Since ancient times, Hongyang Cave has been ranked first among the famous scenic spots in Qianyi (referring to Fenyi). Whether it was the peaceful and prosperous era of Yao and Shun, or the turbulent era of swords and blood, there were many famous artists, painters and poets who came here to write inscriptions, recite poems and paint. Zhu Xi, a master of Neo-Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem: "Humanity's return to the clouds is not enough, Hongyang's stone milk is more beautiful (gujiahan) (gujiaya). It's hard to stop falling into a dream, looking back to the west wind and the sun is setting."
"Yan Song, the powerful prime minister during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, also wrote a poem with seven rhymes and one verse in "You Hongyang Cave": "Where did the two immortals hide in the rocks? The rooftop is full of peach blossoms, and the stone chamber is full of doubts and dead axes. What if I want to find a quiet companion here, but I am tired of the worldly affairs? "In the spring of the twelfth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1584), Zhou Yingzhi of Yizhi County visited the cave. He wrote a travel diary and ordered a painter to draw a map of Hongyang Cave. In addition, there are Neolithic cultural relics at the entrance of Hongyang Cave. In 1984 It was listed in the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Xinyu City on May 4th. It is a rare cultural relic tourist attraction.
Now, the roads in Hongyang Cave are well-organized, the lights are bright, and there are many tourists. It is a major attraction in Fairy Lake Scenic Area. Wannian Bridge, also known as Longevity Bridge, commonly known as Dongmen Bridge, spans the southern part of Qianyang Lake in Fairy Lake Scenic Area. It is 384 meters long and 7.68 meters wide. It is a bridge with 11 The large stone arch bridge in Kong was also the main passage from Gufen Yicheng to the south.
In the thirty-fifth year of Jiajing (1556), the Ming army achieved great success in suppressing the Japanese pirates. Congratulations to the capital, the emperor and his ministers! Taking advantage of this festive atmosphere, the people of Fenyi wrote to their father Yan Song through Yan Shifan, expressing their inconvenience caused by the frequent damage to the Qingyuan Ancient Ferry Bridge in the east of the city, and requesting that it be rebuilt into a stone arch bridge. Caoran agreed, and sent Yan Shifan back to Fenyi to select a bridge site east of Qingyuan Shidu; he also went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to inspect the bridge type, hire craftsmen, purchase stones, load them to Zhangshu in large ships, and then change to small boats to transport them back to Fenyi along the Yuan River. The whole project started in September of that year and was completed in June of the following year.
After the completion of the new bridge, it was named Wannian Bridge. "Nianqiao Ji" contains: "Si Qiao said: 'Wannian Bridge' to never forget the emperor's kindness, to wish for longevity and the infinite relationship between heaven and earth! ”
From a structural point of view, the Wannian Bridge can be divided into three parts: surface, body and foundation. The bridge foundation is composed of 10 piers made of thousands of rocks, each pier is embedded with a rough style of water-absorbing The water-dividing diamond geese-wing piers facing the water from the bridge pier are majestic and tall, giving people an artistic aesthetic feeling; they also analyze the waves, slow down the momentum of the river water, and skillfully play the role of the bridge. The self-protection function of the foundation has allowed the bridge to survive the ups and downs of 433 springs and autumns without any damage. The bridge deck is wide and flat, paved with large bluestone slabs, and the two wings are protected by stone railings interlocking with the pillars and railings. The railings are carved with rare birds, monsters, and exotic flowers and plants. There are two pairs of drum-holding stones at both ends of the railings, which are exactly opposite the two pairs of stone lions at the head of the bridge. Five hundred steps north of the bridge, there is a stone sculpture bixi. (Legend has it that The middle turtle stone. It is said that the dragon gave birth to nine sons, one of whom was called bixi, who was shaped like a turtle and was very powerful and easy to carry heavy loads. In the old days, the stone base of the large stone tablets was often carved in the shape of a bixi. The 0.3-meter stele "The Record of Wannian Bridge in Fenyi County" was rebuilt in the 13th year of Shunzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1656) by Yan Yuncong, the great-grandson of Yan Song, and in the 7th year of Qianlong reign (1742). The stone railings on the east side of the bridge were tilted, and the Yan family of Fenyijie Bridge was rebuilt in 1921. Fenyi County raised funds to rebuild the third hole. In 1946, more than half of the fourth pier in the south of the bridge collapsed, and Fenyi County Council allocated 1 million yuan. Repaired. In 1958, when the Jiangkou Reservoir was built and Fenyi County moved to a new location, the Wannian Bridge was submerged together with the old county seat! Later, for the convenience of surveying or navigation, some people blew up the 14.4-meter-span middle arch. Yes: During the dry season, the long body of the Wannian Bridge fully emerges from the water. This mirage-like interest and this vicissitudes of incomplete beauty make it a tourist attraction. November 17, 1988! On the same day, foreign scholars who attended the "Academic Symposium on Yan Song and the Politics of the Ming Dynasty" visited the Wannian Bridge. As one of them, the author was lucky enough to see it. Some of the scholars were in groups, whispering, or walking alone on the bridge. , leaning on the railing and roaring, all seem to express their nostalgic feelings in different ways, recalling the dusty dreams of it and its builders in the past! Longwang Island is located in the southeast of Fairy Lake Scenic Area, 250 meters away from Liuhe Islands, and 950 meters long from north to south! It is 750 meters wide from east to west and covers an area of ??51 hectares. It is so majestic and majestic that it looks like a vast expanse of clouds. Its flat surface is like a vast expanse of tin olives. Taiwan's treasure island; its facade is an isosceles triangle, which has the charm of Japan's Mount Fuji. It is 190.5 meters above sea level. It is not only the highest island in Fairy Lake, suitable for its Dragon King style; it is also at the intersection of the four major lakes and bays, north and south. It protects two major archipelagos and subordinates many peninsulas to the east and west, which is consistent with its ninth-five-year status.
On the island, strange pines and thin bamboos compete with each other, and green vines and wild flowers compete with each other. On the east and west sides of the mountain stand Ningxiu Pavilion and Shuying Pavilion named by Mr. Nie Peng respectively. Both pavilions are small and exquisite, with pink columns and plain eaves. Ningxiu Pavilion is a stone pavilion with a hexagonal spire imitating tube tiles. There are stone bench rails at the foot of the column, and an outward-sloping backrest railing is attached to the outer edge. Visitors can sit on the bench rails and lean on the backrest rails to rest and relieve fatigue. On the front of the pavilion is engraved a couplet written by Hu Ming and Mr. Nie Peng and written by Mr. Hu Xiaoyong: "The mountains are floating and the waves are pleasant to the eyes, and the lake is hidden in the hollow." The Shuying Pavilion is a stone gourd imitating the cylinder and tiles. There is a stone pavilion on the top, with six columns and stool railings at the feet of the columns. There is a round stone table and three drum-shaped stone benches in the pavilion. On the front of the pavilion is engraved a couplet jointly written by Mr. Hu Ming and Nie Peng and written by Mr. Hu Xiaoyong: "A bay always leaves ripples, and a hundred islands rarely see autumn." One Bay refers to the Great Lake Bay where the pavilion is located - Yangtian Bay; Hundred Islands generally refers to the Fairy Lake Scenic Area with more than a hundred islands. The couplet vividly depicts the spring-like scenery of the lake and mountains all year round in the Fairy Lake Scenic Area, implying that tourists will linger here and enjoy themselves.
Climb up the steep trail and reach the top of Longwang Island. From south to north, there are five scenic spots: Lingshui Cliff, Longwang Temple, Suihuai Pavilion, Tongya Pavilion and Sun Viewing Stone. Among them, except for the Dragon King Temple, the names of the other four scenic spots or pavilions were all named after Mr. Nie Peng. Follow the ladder-like path on the east side of the island to the top of the island. On the left is a stone pavilion with double eaves and octagonal pointed gourd necks imitating tube tiles. The pavilion is called Sui Huai Pavilion. The top of the pavilion has two layers, each with eight layers. The corner eaves, they are relaxed and flying, keeping pace with each other. They are not only straight and straight, but also give people wonderful curves. At the foot of the pavilion pillars, there are bench railings. On the front and back of the pavilion, there are two couplets created by Mr. Nie Peng and written by Mr. Wang Zhongxian respectively:
“Wonderful water, wonderful mountains, wonderful wind, wonderful moon, wonderful beyond words;
The beauty of spring is spring. The dream of spring is full of ecstasy.
The misty light shines across the eyebrows and thousands of green peaks;
The color of the lake shines on the face of thousands of spring flowers. ”
Going from Sui Huai Pavilion. To the south is the Dragon King Temple with dragons and phoenixes standing side by side and towering ravines reaching into the sky. It is a mountain-style temple building. The roof is covered with yellow glazed tube tiles. A vase is placed in the middle of the main ridge. Two flying dragons face each other across the bottles. The two ends of the main ridge are decorated with dragon head-shaped kisses with their mouths wide open and biting the main ridge. A kiss can spray water and prevent fire, so it has become a symbol of the winning method in ancient buildings. The Dragon King Temple is a small temple on a mountain island, with red walls on the left, back and right sides, and a verandah and temple gate in front. The temple gate has four lattice doors. The lattice center above the lattice door is a geometric pattern made up of lattice strips; the skirt panel below the lattice fan is painted with yellow lacquer flowers. The "Dragon King Temple" written by Mr. Ling Hao hangs high on the lintel of the Bianmen temple. plaque. There are exposed windows on both sides of the temple door, and the window lattice is made of wooden strips forming geometric patterns. There is a foundation around the temple with stone railings surrounding the edge. In the temple sits a dragon king wearing a yellow robe. It is said that this dragon king can call the wind and rain and has great magical powers. Whenever there is severe drought, villagers come here in droves to worship and pray for rain, which often works.
Go south from the Dragon King Temple and reach Lingshui Cliff at the southern end of the island. This is a huge cliff shaded by green pines, exuding the majestic charm of proud smoke and wind and rain! It is no less dangerous than Longshou Cliff in Lushan Mountain, and the dreamlike scenery around it is also unique. Looking down from the cliff, you can see mountains and rivers, clouds covering the fog, and cliffs of different sizes and shapes. Different islands may be connected by peaks, forming a continuous rhyme; or they may be divided into days and days, appearing ethereal and bright. They are like emeralds set in the water; they are also like sleeping beauties with green bodies and quiet bosoms! Especially the beauty’s hazy, elegant and undulating curves are even more refreshing! This is different from the sharp, straight and geometric features that Western civilization focuses on, but it exaggerates the artistic conception of Chinese civilization that pays attention to curves, pursues perfection, and advocates far-reaching, flat, broad, confusing, and remote! Besides, those winding lakes and bays look like clean mirrors up close, but from a distance, they look like lingering, endless lines of white water! .
Turning back to the north of the island from the southern end of the island, the first thing that comes into view is Tongya Pavilion. This is a stone pavilion imitating tube tiles, double eaves, round pointed gourds, and stool railings between the six pavilion pillars. There is a round platform outside the pavilion, and a stone single-hook railing is built along the platform. On the front and back of the pavilion, two couplets created by Mr. Nie Peng and written by Mr. Wang Zhongxian are engraved respectively:
"The cold light rises from the four rivers, and the mist blooms from the thousands of mountains."
" The red sun dyes the blue sky, and the silver moon reflects the clear waves."
Going from Tongya Pavilion to the north, you can climb up to the Guanrigu, which has a hollow bottom and is full of ancient charm. This is a huge stone with sharp edges and corners, yet round and smooth, symbolizing a gentleman who is wise and successful in his actions.
Standing on this purple-gray sun-viewing stone, you can not only scan the blue shadows and mist on the east, north, and west sides of the island, and have a panoramic view of half of the Fairy Lake, but also watch the sunset in the west and the sunrise in the east, and experience the rising of the body. The highest realm of blue sea and waving world! Changshan Temple, also known as Longmu Temple, Yuechengjun Temple, and Notre Dame Temple. Located on the west bank of Changshan Gorge at the west end of Jianyang Lake in the Fairy Lake Scenic Area, facing east and west, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with towering ancient trees, three entrances up and down, well-standing pavilions, and majestic buildings. There is a couplet on the gate of the temple:
"Beginning in the Tang Dynasty, it was sealed in the Song Dynasty. Shuoyue City is a holy site, and thousands of years have paid tribute to its saintly virtues;
The son is filial, and the mother is kind. The divine power protects the country, and all the people rely on Mu Jiaxiu."
It is said that Longmu Temple is located in Yuecheng County, Kangzhou (the state is now located in Deqing County, Guangdong). During the Yuanhe period of Tang Dynasty (806-820), Lu E often traveled to South Vietnam as an official, and once served as a minor official in Kangzhou, such as recording affairs and joining the army. He heard that the Long Lao Temple Committee dedicated to Long Lao and Long Bo was efficacious, so he went to the temple to burn incense and pray, hoping to be honored as a parent official in charge of a county. At night, he dreamed of Long Bo and said, "You will serve as an official. Do you want to repay me?" Lu E immediately promised to honor Long Lao and Long Bo once the dream came true. The next day, Lu E asked a sorcerer to predict his dream, and got a good omen of "seeing the dragon's chastity". He was so happy that he asked someone to draw images of Long Lao and Long Bo, and worshiped them day and night. In the fifth year of Yamato (831), Lu E got his wish and became the magistrate of Yichun. The following year, Lu He received a commendation from his superiors for his good governance in the county. This year there was a severe drought, so he prayed to Longmao to bless the place with good weather, and built Longmao Temple, also known as Yuechengjun Temple, at Changshandu, a water and land transportation hub. Because the story of Long Lao (also known as Wen Lao and Wen Lao) raising Long Bo and Long Bo being filial to Long Lao was spread all over the world, the Tang Dynasty also gave the temple the title "Xiao Tong", which means filial piety and righteousness to the sky. Because the ancients had the habit of referring to architectural scenery by their location, it is also called Changshan Temple.
There are fifty-four statues of gods in the Changshan Temple, and the main god enshrined is Dragon Mother (also known as the Dragon Mother and the Holy Mother of Changshan). The temple contains poems, books and paintings donated by literati of the past dynasties. During the reigns of Yongzheng and Qianlong, gate towers, walls and Wenchang Pavilion were added. For more than a thousand years, the temple has been a shining light and a prosperous place, attracting believers from hundreds of kilometers around. Especially on the 13th day of the eighth lunar month, the anniversary of Ji Mu’s birthday, drums were blaring, suo nas were heard, and pilgrims gathered. It was very lively, even from as far away as Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Zhejiang, Anhui and other provinces. Come and worship.
Due to disrepair, the temple is decaying day by day. In 1962, the Buddhist Association invested in renovations. However, the good times did not last long. On July 3, 1966, the temple was destroyed as the "Four Olds", and all sculptures, calligraphy... and other artistic treasures were gone! Changshan Temple was almost in dire straits. However, "there is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, and there is another village with dark flowers and bright flowers." With the development of the Fairy Lake Scenic Area, the relevant city departments approved the restoration of Changshan Temple in 1992. Through the efforts of Fenyi County Tourism Department, as of the winter of 1994, the Guanyin Hall of Changshan Temple and
and Chunyuan Pier on the river. The latter was named after Mr. Liu Chunyuan, a Malaysian Chinese who donated money for its construction.
The sitting direction of Guanyin Hall is 70 degrees (that is, sitting 20 degrees west to south and 20 degrees east to north). The roof of the temple is covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the two ends of the ridge are decorated with owl kisses. There is a treasure top rising in the middle of the ridge. There is a bottle-shaped top on the top of the treasure, with four orbs stacked underneath. There are two soaring dragons carved on the ridge, with their bodies in an "S" shape, facing each other across the treasure top. The hall is five rooms wide, with six columns and six red lanterns hanging there. Two lanterns are hung in the bright room in the middle, and one lantern is hung in each of the left and right rooms. The temple is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. On the left side of Guanyin are a drum and a female attendant. There is a page boy on the right. Guanyin and the male and female attendants are all on the lotus platform, and the lotus platform is on the Xumizuo. The statue of Guanyin and its pedestal are slightly convex, and the plane of the entire pedestal is slightly in the shape of "pin". There is a black lacquered incense table in front of the Guanyin statue, and a statue of Our Lady of Changshan is placed on it. A red cloth curtain hangs under the gate of Guanyin Hall, and a horizontal plaque on the top of the curtain reads "The divine light shines everywhere". At present, tourists have come here to make wishes and draw lots, praying for happiness and the peace of people's souls. Soon, the other two temples of Changshan Temple will be restored. We believe that in the near future, a complete Changshan Temple complex will provide people with a good tourist destination! Changshan Temple will surely revive the spirit and bring spiritual comfort to people! Bring wonderful longing!
