There are many cultural landscapes in Jiuli Lake Scenic Area, including cliff stone carvings, Taoist concepts, art buildings, and more than 20 cultural relics. Among the lakes and mountains, there are many inscriptions by famous people in past dynasties, such as Ren Inscription, Emperor of Ten Thousand Years, First Penglai, Clear Water and Danshan, Watching Waterfalls, Flying Clouds with Nine Fins, Flying Rain and Thunder, etc., which are simple, generous and vigorous. The Nine Immortals Taoist Temple, Crystal Palace, Jade Emperor Building and Yingxian Hall by the lake are resplendent. General House, Guanlan, Waterfall, Nostalgia and Love are five pavilions, which are exquisite and elegant. The remains such as Hexian Palace, Zhu Quan Temple, dressing table and Huguang Pavilion in the scenic spot are good places for tourists to reminisce about the past. Emperor Song Xiaozong put a "immortal spring" on the tablet of "immortal and watery", which is sweet and clear. If you don't work, you won't rise, which is amazing. The mountain gate is a newly built granite archway, and the square is a newly expanded granite ground. Under the scorching sun, many cars stopped by the square and many tourists were buying tickets. This is the afternoon of June 25th, 2009. 10. It is still scorching under the mountain, but there is a cool breeze blowing gently on the mountain.
Starting from Xianyou County and driving to the northeast, you can see the continuous mountains in the distance, like the rocky mountains in the north, rising from the ground without transition, but the car hovers on the mountainside and you can feel the deep forest ditch. This kind of mountain is thought to be downhill when it is turned over, but it is actually a mountain plain. Just after harvesting rice in the field, the corner of the stream is covered with chicken tail grass, and dense bamboo grows on both sides of the road. Like a paradise, the mountain gate suddenly stands.
Where is the lake? Soon after the eco-car came out, the mountains fluctuated and the valleys were deep. I abandoned the car and walked down the hill, and the water appeared. At first, there were small reservoirs, high dams and curved arches. The tour guide told me that the reservoir has just been built, storing water at night and releasing water during the day to ensure the waterfall landscape.
The valley is open, with temples and terraces beside the rocks; There are stone bridges and big stones on the water. It was a weekend and my valley was crowded with tourists. The guide reminded us to look at the caves on the river bed, some like pots, some like water tanks, some like plates, and some like footprints. They come in different shapes and are absolutely exquisite. According to reports, this is a karst landform, and those caves with irregular sizes are the remains of ancient glaciers. Tourists sit by the lake to see the ice room and ice cave, just like sitting on the edge of a cliff. The 3-kilometer-long glacier canyon broke, thus forming a spectacular waterfall here.
After all, we went down to see the waterfall, just in time to see the scene of "sunny rain in the afternoon" in the bead curtain, and a rainbow was reflected in the middle of the waterfall. There are nine waterfalls in Jiuli Lake. Xu Xiake, a geographer and traveler in the Ming Dynasty, lamented in the Diary of a Visit to Jiuli Lake: "There are Kuang Lu, Yan and dragon three, each of which is good at winning the game, unlike this mountain." Sandie Spring in Lushan Mountain and Longqiao in Yandang Mountain have their own characteristics, but they are not as complicated, changeable and concentrated as the waterfalls in Jiuli Lake. Jiukuang Waterfall, except the first "Thunder Thunder" in the upper reaches of Jiuli Lake, the other eight waterfalls are all in the valley under the lake, from the second to the ninth, they are: Waterfall, Pearl Curtain, Yuzhu and Shimen.
Watching the waterfalls in Jiuli Lake, you can also watch the inscriptions of celebrities on the gable at the same time, many of which have a history of thousands of years. "Nine Days of Pearl Jade" was inscribed by Cai Jing, who visited four places in the Song Dynasty, and Cai Jing was a Fujian Xianyou. "Ren Caokai's inscriptions are endless, and there is still this lake after vicissitudes." Some boulders in the lake are also engraved with celebrity inscriptions.
The fifth waterfall falls into a deep pool, and the lake is green. There is a dam with a height of 10 m and a length of 80 m on the canyon, and there is a lock chamber under the cliff. Chen Jiancheng, member of the Standing Committee of Xianyou County Committee and Minister of Organization, said that this is a diversion tunnel with a length of 2,345 meters. Chen Jiancheng is in charge of tourism. He introduced that digging a diversion tunnel has solved the contradiction between tourism development and hydropower generation, which can not only ensure the reappearance of the wonders of Jiuli Waterfall, but also meet the needs of farmland irrigation and people's domestic water use in Bangtou Town behind the mountain, and realize the comprehensive utilization of water resources.
There is a cable bridge on the lake, and some newcomers are taking wedding photos on it. On the other side of the bridge, climbing up the mountain is the site of Dongfeng Village. The road up the mountain is paved with white granite strips, which looks like a ladder from below. Dongfengzhai cliff stands tall, towering ancient trees, overlooking the foot of the mountain, and the canyon is connected with the basin, which suddenly opens up. Eco-cars can go directly to Dongfengzhai Scenic Area. Jiuli Lake is an important place of Taoism. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a satrap named He in Lujiang, Anhui Province, who was a subordinate of Liu An, the king of Huainan. He's nine sons fled here to live in seclusion because they opposed his participation in the rebellion of the king of Huainan. They make an alchemy to help the world, help all beings, and become immortals across carp, hence the name Jiuli Lake. Since the Nine Brothers became immortals many years earlier than the Eight Immortals 1000, the ancients also left the inscription "Penglai is the best in the world" on the boulder by the lake.
The lake is shaded by ancient trees, and the Taoist temple is built on the mountain. Nine Immortals Taoist Temple, Crystal Palace, Jade Emperor Building and Yingxian Hall are resplendent. Nine Immortals Taoist Temple, also known as Epiphany Temple, is located on the north bank of Shihu Lake. The temple is built on a huge rock with a hollow bottom and is connected with the lake. The ancients called it "Toad Cave". The temple was founded in the Xichun period of Song Dynasty (1174-1189), and the Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen awarded the tablet of "Divine Water and Spiritual Wisdom".
These temples mainly worship nine immortals. Different from other temples, there are mats on both sides of the temple, where tourists lie with their luggage under their pillows. The tour guide is a girl from Guizhou. She stressed that they were sleeping and dreaming. When they woke up, they asked a Taoist to explain their dreams. Most of these sleeping tourists are like women in business, with fragrant wax and fruit in their bags. On the stone steps leading to the Jade Emperor Building, we also saw a group of pilgrims composed of more than 200 people, all elderly women, with the sign of "98 Worship" hanging on their chests. An old lady of Shishi enthusiastically replied: Tomorrow (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month) is the birthday of the palace.
It is said that the Nine Immortals are very effective and will bring dreams and directions to devout pilgrims. Six blessings can be added to the pilgrimage to pray for dreams, that is, adding blessings, adding wealth, adding blessings and adding wealth. The dream-praying culture of Jiulihu Taoist Temple has been spread since the Song Dynasty. All the dignitaries, poets, poets and some politicians in modern times have come here to visit and pray for dreams, leaving many interesting dream-testing stories. Tang Bohu, the "first gifted scholar in the south of the Yangtze River" in the Ming Dynasty, dreamed that the "immortal" gave ten thousand pieces of Mo Ding here. Later, his literary thoughts made great progress and his painting skills improved. Later, he built a "Dream Pavilion" in Suzhou as a memorial.
In addition to sleeping on the ground floor of the temple, there is also a special fairy hall and a dream-praying building next to the temple for tourists to stay and pray for their dreams. We made a special visit upstairs. Some floors are paved, some rooms are separated, some can rent bedding, and some bring their own bedding. Most of them seem to sleep rather than sleep. Some fashionable guys are playing cards. They are from southern Fujian.
Jiuli Lake is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese dream culture. It is believed that nine immortals lit up the world with their dreams after they got the Tao. Comrades of Jiulihu Scenic Area Management Committee believe that the dream-praying culture, as a folk way to predict the future, has unique tourism development value. Chen Jiancheng said that the next step is to build a cultural experience square by the lake. According to the legend of the Nine Immortals alchemy, Xu Xiake and Ji Xiaolan's travel notes of Jiuli Lake and the dream stories of Tang Bohu and Feng Menglong will gather in one place to build a cultural sculpture garden. At the same time, China Taoist College and China Dream Culture Research Institute will be built to build China's dream capital. After swimming in the lake and praying for dreams, you can also go to Maixieyan. Maixieyan, praised as "Little Wuyishan" by Lin Guangchao, a Neo-Confucian in the Song Dynasty, entered the mountain pass and faced a huge stone, inscribed the words "Guqiao Mountain", which is said to have been written by Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu for the hermit Lin Biqing. Because it is a granite landform formed by volcanic eruption tens of thousands of years ago, the whole mountain is mountainous and magnificent, with various strange stone pictographs. The roads up the mountain are paved with granite slabs, and a small reservoir has been built near the top of the mountain. The tour guide said that the winding mountain road from Jiuli Lake to the reservoir has been completed, and villas and rehabilitation centers will be built in the surrounding mountains in the future. There are tourists at the top of the mountain and guardrails at the edge of the cliff. We have to sigh quickly.
Not only are stone monsters, but even caves are strange. Xianren Cave is located under Maixie Rock Temple, also known as Red Army Cave. 108 The Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants led by Deng Zihui was established here in June, 930, and this cave was used as the meeting room of the group. At present, there is a memorial pavilion above the cave, which is the patriotic education base of Putian City.
Maixieyan is a part of Jiuli Lake Scenic Area. Jiuli Lake is on the mountain, and above it is a small town called zhongshan town. Zhongshan is a mountainous and plain township, which governs 16 villages with a total population of 30,000. Because of its unique landform, long history and rich tourism resources, Xianyou County decided to take advantage of its geographical advantages, seize the opportunity of cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and take Jiuli Lake as the leader to develop zhongshan town into an ecological holiday town. The secretary of the Jiulihu Party Working Committee is also the secretary of the zhongshan town Party Committee.
Going to Maixie Rock is the second day, that is, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Lin Jintao, Secretary of the Party Committee of zhongshan town and Secretary of the Working Committee of Jiulihu Party, went to Huting Village to attend the symposium on the Day of the Elderly. He told us that in order to cooperate with the development of "Dajiuli Lake" scenic spot and the new rural construction of Huting Village, he planned to build a 3-kilometer-long folk street in Huting to transfer the rural population in and around Jiuli Lake scenic spot.
Zhongshan town is preparing a master plan for a famous tourist town, covering an area of 50 square kilometers. Chen Jiancheng said that although the Jiulihu Management Committee has only 20 employees, three brands and one team, it is a team of 100 people around this work. In order to strengthen the development of Jiuli Lake, which is also known as "the three wonders of Fujian" with Wuyishan and Yuhua Cave, the county has adopted the mode of "government-led and market operation", and infrastructure such as roads, small reservoirs and scenic spots have been built. Their slogan is "Mazu on the Sea, Nine Immortals on the Mountain", and eventually Zhongshan will be turned into an ecological leisure resort in Dajiu Lake, a dream city of water town, Taoist health preservation and love in the Straits.
The sun shines brightly on the mountain, but it is fresh and warm; The town is on the flat dam between Jiuli Lake and Maixie Rock. It is busy and quiet. On both sides of the road, you can see large areas of high-quality rice fields, green vegetables, sweet persimmons, Chinese herbal medicines, high-quality tea and other bases in Taiwan Province Province, all of which are green, yellow and red. In addition to the landscape, the town has begun to form three major agricultural sightseeing areas: Xingtai Orchard, Super Modern Agricultural Park and Taiwan Province Farmers Pioneer Park.
From water conservancy scenic spots to ecological leisure holiday towns, dreams are not dreams.
