Located 20 kilometers east of Wuchang County, it was called Lingquan Mountain in ancient times. According to "Lingquan Zhi", "Lingquan Mountain is named after the colorful and sweet springs on the mountain." Since ancient times, it has been a scenic spot surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful lakes and quiet forests. Mountains can be seen everywhere, but the peaks are clustered, the clouds are lingering, the lake is green and the scenery is very charming. Since the Han Dynasty, many hermits have built houses in Lingquan, including Wanjuan Bookstore, Hanshan Building, Wanshoutai, Yuxu Building, Liaoetang, Shupu Platform, Qiu Feng Pavilion, Daguan Bridge, Baihua Garden, Dragon and Turtle Play Fish Pond and Sunny Rain Well, leaving many poems praising Lingquan Mountain. In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370), Zhu Zhen, the sixth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, was named King Zhao of Chu, and diviners were sent to investigate Longquan Mountain, which was designated as "the fairyland where the five dragons embraced the holy land". Lingquan Mountain was renamed Longquan Mountain. Zhu Zhen built a mausoleum here, and later kings such as Zhuang, Xian, Kang, Jing, Duan, Cheng and Gong were buried here. Each tomb has its own unique cemetery, which is called the Tomb of the King of Chu. Later, the mausoleum area was destroyed, and there were 5 cemeteries and 6 pavilions. Among them, Xiazhaoling in Tianma Peak can still see the scene of that year, and the surrounding walls and tombs are still relatively complete. Circumference1500m, covering an area of160mu. From the main entrance, there is a corridor paved with bluestone, in which you can see the arch bridge, railing, jade screen, stone dragon, stone foundation of the temple and worship platform in turn. The whole cemetery building is solemn and magnificent. Today, the Longquan Mountain historic site has been restored, and the tomb of King Zhao of Chu is open to welcome guests, attracting more and more tourists who enjoy the beautiful scenery.
[Appreciation of Ancient Poetry] You Chunming and Zhang Tianyou
From a distance, the green hills are gloomy, and from a close look, the clear water dissolves.
Spitting plum and white jade trees is different, and the willow is locked everywhere.
There is a beautiful Longquan Mountain in the suburb of Wuhan, just like two giant dragons lying across the lake of Liang Zi. It is surrounded by water on three sides, with beautiful peaks, lush trees and pavilions. Zhang Yunkun, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once visited this place, leaving behind the eternal swan song of "* * * looking at Lingquan from afar, with blue sea and blue sky". After visiting Longquan Mountain, Zhang Tianyou, a poet of Ming Dynasty, described the picturesque spring scenery here.
The first sentence of the poem describes the scenery of Longquan Mountain from a distance. Standing in the distance, the trees on Longquan Mountain are lush, showing a scene of clouds and fog. In the second sentence, I wrote a close observation of the beautiful scenery of Liangzi Lake. Green water is soluble, clear and broad. After reading this, I can't help but think of Zhang Yunqi's poem: "Two peaks in Yun Qi, thousands of rivers flow together;" Help pines and cypresses at home, and go to the church to see the crane tower. "Isn't this landscape sketch of Longquan Mountain? Three or four sentences in the poem also focus on the lush trees on Longquan Mountain. White plum blossoms in full bloom are like a plum tree with different shapes; The green willows around the lake at the foot of the mountain seem to rise like blue smoke clouds, charming and moving.
This poem has a great feature, and its antithesis is extremely neat. It is a rare pair of couplets that describe mountains and rivers. The first picture, one far away and one near, can be seen at a glance, one green and one blue, one mountain and one water, one depression and one dissolution; The second picture, a spit and a lock, a plum and a willow, a white and a light, a jade and a cigarette, are all together. How accurate and neat the antithesis is, and how beautiful the natural scenery of Longquan Mountain and Liangzi Lake is.
Another feature of this poem is the use of more overlapping words, which greatly increases the momentum of the poem and enhances its appeal. There are 12 reduplications in 28 words in the whole poem, and 6 reduplications in 4 poems. There is no repetition in reading, but it is catchy and charming. Mountain, water, melancholy, soluble, tree and everywhere are well matched, with sonorous syllables and beautiful rhythm. Reciting this poem seems melodious, singing the beautiful scenery of Longquan Mountain. This also reflects the artistic charm of ancient poetry. "spread the mountain with poetry." These excellent poems will definitely enhance the popularity of Longquan Mountain and attract more tourists to visit it.

[Modern Prose] Longquan Mountain is 20 kilometers east of Wuchang County, which was called Lingquan Mountain in ancient times.
When I didn't know Longquan, I heard that "this mountain is extremely secluded, and there are two ancient tombs of concubines under it", so I have a visit to this famous mountain.
On the fifth day of the shock, I drove into Longquan Mountain in the spring. Stop at "Zhaowang Bedroom" and get off and look up at Tianma Peak, the main peak of Longquan. This mountain is like Maoling in Xianyang-a steamed bun-shaped mountain bag. Only when you cut your leisure time in half can you realize that "it is better to watch the scenery than to listen to music", which is true.
The ancient appearance of Longquan Mountain is unknown, but we can get a glimpse from Longquan Water Music written by Li Dong, a scholar in Ming Dynasty: "Today, there are mountains, springs, pines and cypresses, trees and bamboos, smoke clouds, cranes, deer and tigers, laurel orchids, flowers and plants, brook paintings, pavilions and pavilions ... the earliest one pushes the sun dance in the Western Han Dynasty, waiting for Fan Kuai. Although Fan Kuai is the brother-in-law of Emperor Gaozu, he is by no means the blood of the emperor. Therefore, 1400 years later, his tomb was occupied by the king of Chu and Zhao, who was raised by the dragon and the phoenix, and the coffin was moved 200 meters away. Zhu Zhen was the sixth prince of Ming Taizu, and was named King of Chu. He took a fancy to Longquan geomantic omen, designated it as fairy land and turned it into a cemetery. After his death, he built the "Zhaowang Living Palace" and continued to enjoy the victory of Longquan landscape. In the following 274 years, his prince and grandson successively built nine imperial tombs: Zhuang, Xian, Kang, Jing, Duan, Cheng, Gong, He and Zhao. These spectacular bedrooms make the magnificent scenery of Longquan Mountain more colorful and famous all over the world. Many glorious historical and cultural monuments of the Chinese nation were excavated from these tombs.
Within Kyushu, there are more than thousands of imperial tombs! Looking at it, it seems that there is not much difference, and there is nothing worthy of nostalgia, so I invite my companions to climb Tianma Peak and overlook it. Spring Mountain has woken up, and you will often meet pear trees with white leaves and green leaves on the road, more of which are Vitex negundo covered with purple wild fruits and Pinus massoniana with low oil green. After dinner, climb to the top of the mountain. A pavilion stands on the top of the mountain, with double eaves flying over the rafters and carved green tiles, saying: overlooking the pavilion. This is an antique reconstruction. The original pavilion was built by Fan Kuai's grandson Fan Jian. It has been eroded by wind and rain and has already melted in the long river of history. According to legend, Zhang Yun, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Looking at Lingquan, the sky is high and the clouds are light".
Looking out from the pavilion, Tianma Peak and Yuping Peak in Longquan Mountain are like two dragons lying on the mirror-like shore of Liangzi Lake, winding among the mountains. The 7-square-kilometer basin is inlaid with "Three Turtles, Nine Sleeps and Twelve Scenes", which are being built, repaired or rebuilt one by one.
The beauty of Longquan Mountain is a bodhi tree about 660 years old. Precious trees have been surrounded by white walls, and a low wall with a flowering window in the middle separates them from the courtyard gate. If you want to enjoy it, you must buy a 50-cent ticket. I am puzzled: when I stand outside the courtyard, I can see the thick trunk of the bodhi tree. The branches are gray and plain, but the branches are not green yet. Why should I buy a ticket to see your face again? The ticket girl smiled and said, "Beauty lies in its roots. You can only see it if you go in. "
So I bought a ticket and saw the wonders. The roots on the ground are more than a foot high, covering dozens of steps in Fiona Fang. They are intertwined, just like "going to Kowloon for a meeting". The dragon head, the dragon body, the African claw, the dragon tail, and the Longlin are all golden, rolling and dancing like nature itself. Hold your breath and watch, set in the realm of "Bodhi".
The interest of Longquan lies in Bodhi.

[Folk Literature] In Longquan Mountain, Wuchang County, there is a story about two dragons playing with pearls.
It is said that Longquan, a place where there were no mountains before, is the sea of Wang Yang. There are fixed Haizhu in the sea, so the sea is always calm and the fishermen are always safe. Unexpectedly, something bad happened this year. It turned out to be two dragons. When they found this fixed Haizhu, they saw it was round and bright, and they rushed straight at it, trying to swallow it. The two dragons won't give in to each other, fighting for each other, tossing up and down, stirring the sea and drowning countless fishermen and boatmen. Gal, Ding Haizhu angry. It thinks, if I have a peaceful world, and I am confused by these two evil obstacles and can't be subdued alone, what should I do? It struggled day and night, watching the two dragons become more and more fierce, causing the sea to flood. The people who have been living and working in peace and contentment on the shore died and fled, and it was a miserable scene. Later, Ding Haizhu finally came up with a countermeasure. She rose to the surface of the sea gently, only to see the pearl shining on the water. When it lit up, the two dragons didn't know what to do, and then she rushed up. At this time, Haizhu was endowed with the magic of town water. In a blink of an eye, the sea receded completely, and a piece of Wang Yang became a heavy land, trapping two dragons in the mud. The dragons are out of the sea. They can neither soar nor stir and churn. Put it there, don't move. A few hours later, * * *, two jaw-dropping skeletons turned into mountains. Haizhu in that town subdued the dragon and turned itself into a mountain bag. People remembered this fairy bead, so they named it "Zhushan".
This story has been handed down from generation to generation in Longquan, and later generations built a Pearl Tower on the top of Zhushan as a memorial.
