Wanshou Bridge, a county-level cultural relics protection unit. Founded in the 16th year of Qing Daoguang (A.D. 1836), it has a history of 126 years. The bridge is a single-hole stone arch bridge with a length of 56 meters, a width of 8.5 meters and a height of 25 meters. Beautiful appearance, unique design, rigorous construction and firm bridge body. It flies over the cliffs on both sides of Zongxi River, and everything is built according to the unique and complicated geographical environment on both sides of Zongxi River. No matter from which angle, there is a sense of grandeur, which is amazing. It is rare to build such a wonderful bridge in this remote place. This bridge not only has a beautiful and auspicious name-Wanshou Bridge, but also has a series of rather tortuous and legendary stories.
Long ago, there was no bridge over Zongxi River. The best route from Bijie, Dongguan and Weixin to Shuicheng and Yunnan must pass through this river. Businessmen from south to north and people from nearby towns and villages are always blocked by the surging river. In normal weather, we can hardly ferry across the river. During the rainstorm season, the river swells and the wind is fierce, so we have to look at the river and sigh! There are also natural disasters-people who can't swim unfortunately capsize on the boat, and tragic deaths are common and chilling. The boatman on the ferry exploited at will, which made people afraid.
In the early years of Qing Daoguang (AD 1836), Mi Million, a wealthy businessman, was born in Gurong County, Jiangting, and came to Bijie Banqiao with his ancestors. He is gifted and brilliant. Millions of people heard and witnessed the natural disaster of Zongxi River, and resolutely took out more than 1,000 taels of silver, recruited skilled craftsmen, bought bridge-building materials and decided to build the bridge. It's heart to heart, and Mount Tai is moved. In less than a few months, a spacious, flat, beautiful and solid bridge was almost completed with only one pointed stone. Compared with the bridge, the "grindstone" is as important as the human eye. Strangely, the grindstone of this bridge wastes a lot of manpower and time. Although craftsmen polished hundreds of stones and carried them to install, they were always inappropriate. Later, Master Lu was infected by people's enthusiasm for building a bridge. Regardless of the age, he took the trouble to personally polish this grindstone, and the bridge was built. No wonder this bridge is always so tall, majestic, beautiful and strong from any angle, as if it were the feeling of ruling the world.
Guanyin Pavilion, which stands on the Dushan Mountain at the bridge head of Wanshou Bridge, is a magnificent building with red columns and green windows and carved eaves.
With a neat layout, it is a temple built according to natural caves. Monuments, monuments, gods, drums, plaques and couplets are all available in the temple.
. In my spare time, people are knitting, smoke is curling, and I am immersed in a peaceful atmosphere. Burn incense, worship Buddha, draw lots, etc. Never tired of it. It is said that this temple was built to commemorate Guanyin Bodhisattva, so it is called Guanyin Pavilion.
According to legend, the warm and touching scene of building Wanshou Bridge went straight to the sky and infected Guanyin Bodhisattva. He moved his heart and went down to Zongxi River. She turned into a stunning beauty, standing beside a boat in the river, calling herself Guan, saying that her father Guan sent her here to marry her. If anyone beats her with money, she will marry him and never go back on her word. For a while, landlords, gentry and flower girl on both sides of the strait rushed to throw money at Miss Guan in an attempt to crack down on Miss Guan. After a while, Miss Guan's boat was full of glistening money, but one or two missed Miss Guan. Later, Miss Guan gave Mi Million this shipment of silver to let him participate in the construction of Wanshou Bridge. Mi Million just picked up the silver when Miss Guan turned and disappeared. People searched anxiously, but only saw a willow tree on Zongxi River. At this time, some people in the crowd woke up and exclaimed, isn't the "Guan" of "Miss Guan" the "Guan" of Guanyin? It turns out that Miss Guan is the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In order to commemorate the merits of Guanyin Bodhisattva in financing the construction of this bridge, Guanyin Pavilion was built on the spot. Since then, every year on February 19th, June 19th and September 19th, tens of thousands of people have come and gathered in this temple to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Yingbin Gorge (commonly known as Huanxing Gorge) is placed on the chest like a pair of fists, welcoming guests from far away in a friendly way. Here, the stratum is exposed, and the rock with ring structure is clearly visible. The crust on both sides of the strait is clearly cut. 500 thousand years ago, there were few geological textbooks. In Daqing Bay, the water is gentle and clear. Stone walls on both sides, branches hanging down the water. Sitting on a raft, stretching your limbs leisurely, like boating in Pinghu; It's refreshing to go with the flow.
Duck stone, like a fat white grey duck, lies quietly on the water. Make way for you politely and make people laugh.
Shen Jialang, the river suddenly narrowed, the water turned sharply, and the raft was like an arrow. The rapids carry rafts and rush to cliffs and rocks. It's fun.
Changlangxia, like a galloping wild horse, hit the rock wall to stop it from moving forward. It's like throwing eggs at a stone. The rock wall is unscathed, but the waves are splashing. What a spectacular scene, magnificent, shocking and imaginative.
One day, the cliffs on both sides of the strait were rushing in, and suddenly the eyes were dark and gloomy. Looking up, there are rugged rocks and towering old trees, and the vast sky is like a white line. The dangerous peaks on both sides of the strait are protruding, and the tiger is far from the dragon. The brown rocks are covered with ivy, and there are tall and straight rocks, maple trees and other unknown miscellaneous trees in the cracks, as if they were in two big landscape paintings. Xuanwei Cave, which hangs on the cliff of the first section of Zongxi Gorge, is about 100 meters away from the river bed. When you get off the raft and climb the steps, you can enjoy the magical and charming natural landscape of the cave. According to historical records, during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (AD 1664), when Wu Sangui led his troops to conquer Shuixi, he fought fiercely with Ankun, the envoy of Guizhou. After the defeat of An Kun, he led his troops to retreat to this cave and fought bloody battles. Even Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was afraid of three points. The intrepid Wu Sangui attacked Ankun in front of this cave, but he could not attack for a long time. Sangui lost his troops here and retired in vain. Xuanwei made Ankun turn the corner, so the cave was named Xuanwei Cave, which is famous all over the world.
Xuanwei Cave is high, large, wide and deep. The mouth of the cave is wide, more than 2000 meters long, and there are many bifurcated holes. It is also grand in scale and spectacular in momentum. Stone Bodhisattva, Xuanwei Sword, Zhu Tianzhu, Imperial Palace Jade Curtain, Yulin, Stone Tortoise, Longevity Star and many other stalactites with vivid images are vivid, vivid, fascinating and eye-catching. In March, 20001year, experts from China and France evaluated the cave as follows: "Xuanwei Cave is a typical entrance cave on the right bank of Zongxi River Gorge, with flow marks at the top. This is a huge meandering cave developed along the rock stratum, which is rare in domestic caves, especially on the right side of the entrance direction, where dozens of meandering caves with deep and narrow cutting and large curvature are developed.
It is said that Baihe Cave was once the habitat for beautiful white cranes to have children. Unfortunately, due to the ignorance, ignorance and indiscriminate killing of people in previous years, it is difficult to see the trail of white cranes now. Surprisingly, every time after the heavy rain, the spring water in the cave will come out, fly down and land on the river, like a white dragon crossing the river. It is said that Baihe Cave has left sad tears for the loss of cranes. Think about it, it's really sad and angry. People and animals are a family!
Five waves, because of the big drop here, the water flow here is particularly fierce, forming five big waves, and one wave wins one wave. At this point, the raft stood at the forefront for a while and fell to the bottom for a while. Wave after wave jumps on the raft, and the scenery in front of you flashes by, which is exciting. After five ups and downs, you will truly feel the value and meaning of life and understand the true meaning of life.
