Wugang Flower Pagoda can be as famous as the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. The pagoda is 30.5 meters high and has an inclination of 6.22 degrees. Legend has it that the Flower Pagoda and the East Pagoda were originally brothers and sisters, so the two pagodas are collectively called "brother and sister pagodas". My brother built the East Tower and my sister built the Flower Tower. The two towers are opposite, the competition is equal, and each has its own advantages. But the color and posture of the East Tower are not as good as those of the Flower Tower. The brother who built the East Tower was inexplicably jealous, so he came to Yuntai Ridge to kick the pagoda. Since then, the pagoda has tilted. Unexpectedly, this kick made the pagoda more graceful and beautiful.
Of course, this is a legend. In fact, the flower tower was born much earlier than the East Tower. The History of Wugang Prefecture contains: "There are Sizhou Tower and an East Tower, which were built outside the East Gate of the first year of Song Yuanfeng (1078)." The "Sizhou Pagoda" and the "East Pagoda" here are flower pagodas, while the East Pagoda (namely Lingyun Pagoda) was built in the light years of the Qing Dynasty (1829). The Flower Pagoda predates the East Pagoda by more than 750 years!
The flower tower has exquisite architectural skills and exquisite mural art ... The flower tower has seven floors, each with short eaves, high wing angles and cornice patterns. The tower has eight sides, each covered with white mud and painted with colorful murals. "Wugang Zhou Zhi" called it "excellent calligraphy and painting, exquisite". Birds and beasts, pavilions, flowers and plants, bodhisattvas, immortals and auspicious clouds are all lifelike. From a distance, they seem to be wrapped in seven colorful exercises. Maybe that's why you got the name "Flower Pagoda".
Wei Yuan Former Residence Scenic Area: Wei Yuan's former residence is located in Xuetangwan Village, Simenmen Town, Longhui County. 1794 In April, Wei Yuan, a famous patriotic thinker, historian and writer in China's modern history, was born here.
Twelve scenic spots in Baoqing: First, clear autumn and bright moon. Shuangqing Autumn Moon Scenic Area is located on Shizhu Rock in Shuangqing Road. It is a comprehensive scenic area composed of natural landscapes such as Shizhu Rock and Gaomiaotan, and human landscapes such as ancient temples, ancient pavilions and ancient inscriptions. Because it is located at the intersection of Zijiang and Shaoshui, it is named "Shuangqing". 1956 was turned into Shuangqing Park. The landlord's collection is a high and steep mountain, which extends to Zijiang, just like a peninsula. Steep rocks, towering cliffs, high temple pools at the foot and surging blue waves returned to the Qing Dynasty. In February of the 17th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1538), Gu Wei, the governor of Huguang, saw that it was "very strange when the water rushed", so he wrote "Strange Rock" and endowed it with five laws: "A roll of stone in Kunlun Mountain flies away from the lips of Bijiang River, floats in the quiet sky, stands in the middle, and the tower hangs over the steep scenery. Deng Ji, the magistrate of Baoqing, once carved a stone at the top of the stone pillar, and now it has been lost.
2. What is the most famous scenic spot in Shaoyang? It was called "Baoqing" in history. Zijiang River meets Shaoshui River and passes through the city. This is an ancient city with a history of more than 2000 years.
Shaoyang city is surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery and rich tourism resources. There is the Langshan scenic spot with Danxia landform, which is known as "landscape Guilin"; There are grassland scenery 80 miles south of the Yangtze River; Yunshan in Wugang, one of the 72 sites of the Great Buddha in China; There are primitive secondary forests in Suining Huang Sang Nature Reserve.
There are many scenic spots in the urban area, such as the bright moon in clear autumn, the iron rhinoceros in Longqiao, the spring scenery in Liu Ling, the snow scene in Snake Lake, the night crossing at the altar, the bell ringing in the mountain temple, the fairy cave in Luoyang, the seclusion of white clouds and firewood, the fragrance of Yueping Yunding and Taohua Cave. Among them, Shuangqing Pavilion, located on the stone bank of Zijiang River, confronts Jiajiang, the North Tower, and the cloud bells pass through the forest, and the moon shadow moves over Jiang Lai; Peach Blossom Dongting Lake, bottomless, strange structure, underground undercurrent, full of fun.
(1) The East Tower stands on the East Tower Hill on the left side of Baoqing People's Square. The Feng Shui Pagoda here was built in the Tang Dynasty, but it was destroyed by a military disaster in the Five Dynasties.
Song Gaozong was rebuilt in the first year of Jianyan (1 127) and was later destroyed by soldiers. Is the construction of the tower, Qing Daoguang 14 (1834) year, upgraded to level 4, dropped out of school because of the war.
It lasted until the first year of Tongzhi (1862) and was completed in Tongzhi 13. The East Tower is 27 meters high. Because of the high terrain, it looks magnificent.
This tower is divided into seven floors and eight sides. This tower is spacious and can hold 100 people. There is a door at the bottom, and two stone spiral ladders circle the tower and reach the top. Climb to the top of the tower and look out of the window. The mountains and rivers are winding and you can have a panoramic view.
Busy downtown, high-rise buildings. The East Tower was repaired twice in 1965 and 1982, and was listed as a municipal key cultural relics protection unit.
People in this city have turned this place into "East Tower Park". The park covers an area of 105 mu, with the south gate facing the square and a triangular pavilion built inside. In addition, in memory of the famous general Cai E, a "Genyin Village" teahouse was established.
Facing the North Tower and overlooking the Zijiang River, the north gate is strewn at random and beautiful, with parks and trees everywhere. This is a fascinating tourist attraction. (2) Shuangqing Pavilion is known as one of the "Twelve Scenes of Baoqing", which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty and is small and exquisite.
Birds and beasts are carved with double cornices, and scarlet columns and beams are dazzling in the sun. Shuangqing Pavilion is like a charming girl, standing high on the precipice on the south bank of Zijiang River.
For hundreds of years, countless poets have been fascinated by her charming charm and written countless poems of praise for her. Li Qing, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote A Tour of Shuangqing Pavilion, which revealed the geographical advantages of Shuangqing Pavilion. The poem reads: "The sky is clear, the green water and green mountains splash, the wind enters the beautiful scenery and shakes the phoenix tail, and the clouds move like dragons; Glancing at Heng Yue faintly, I sat leisurely in the Dongting, seeing the guests off like a cloud and raising my glass to say goodbye. "
Wei Yuan, a famous modern thinker born in Shaoyang, was named Shuangqing Pavilion: "There are two rivers on the island, and there are smoke waves on the rivers." Cai E, an important figure in the Revolution of 1911 and a pioneer of the democratic revolution, also left poems in Shuangqing Pavilion.
Shuangqing, carved with double cornices of birds and animals, scarlet columns and beams are dazzling in the sun. Shuangqing Pavilion is far away from the North Tower, with a bay of clear water flowing in the middle, which makes it interesting.
At dusk, the ship shadow, pavilion shadow and tower shadow are reflected in the water, and the scenery is particularly charming. Zhao Lan, governor of Huguang in the Ming Dynasty, named this beautiful scene "Shuang Qing Sheng Lan", and Xu Ye, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, once praised the couplet: "Clouds wear bells through trees and the moon moves to Jiang Lai."
This couplet is extremely neat, vivid and infectious, and has become a famous couplet through the ages. (3) Six Ridges refer to the six mountains of Tianchi, Tiezhu, Wang Xian, Liu Yi, Bajiao and Reuters (also known as Seven Towns) in the southeast corner of Shaoyang Old Town.
In the Song Dynasty, pavilions were built on the six ridges, named Xiugu Yuanya Pavilion, Cang Xue Hanbi Pavilion, Chuwang Pavilion (also known as Wang Xianting), Xinggang Pavilion (also known as Liu Yiting), Single Crystal Pavilion, Yuechi Pavilion and Houge Pavilion. In the 12th year of Jiading, Song Ningzong (12 19), Liu Bao, the magistrate of Shaozhou, rebuilt the old site and built a town side building between six pavilions.
Mention Mao Xian's "Town Side Building": praise the ingenious layout of the six pavilions and the town side building. Zhao Yun of Song Lizong once wrote two plaques for the scenic spot, "A View of Mountains and Rivers" and "Wonders of Misty Rain", which no longer exist.
Standing on these pavilions, overlooking Shimen and Bai Yunfeng, picturesque; Near the capital, Shao Ershui, Xie Bi streamer. Especially when early spring comes, bamboo is green with rain, peach is red with wind, willow is light with smoke, and warblers chirp, so it is called "Six Ridges Spring".
(4) Shuifu Temple, located at the intersection of Zishao River, was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, rebuilt in Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty and Daoguang period. There is a theater by the river in front of the temple. Every year, temple fairs, praying for God and singing operas are very popular.
On the roof of the theater, the word "half into the clouds" is engraved on the forehead, and there is a couplet on each side: a wonderful hand is empty, a clap of autumn water and a clap of the bright moon; The lingering sound curled up, half into the river wind and half into the clouds. There is a couplet in the dressing room behind the stage, which reads: the only way through the ages; Light makeup is always appropriate.
(5) Caopo's well is a mythical well. According to legend, a man named Cao Po used the water in this well to make wine and set up a shop. A person often comes to the store to drink, and Cao's mother-in-law treats him very well. When the Taoist priest left Shaoyang, he put a pill in the well, so the water in the well was full of wine, and Cao Po became rich from then on.
Later, passers-by returned to Shaoyang and asked about the situation. Cao Po replied, "Water can be sold as wine, but there is no distiller's grains to feed pigs." The Taoist thought it was greed and said with a smile, "The sky is not high, people's hearts are rising day by day, well water is sold as wine, and pigs are said to have no trough."
As a result of throwing another pill into the well, the well water no longer turns into wine. This story is widely circulated and recorded in local chronicles. The story is satirical and profound, so it is appreciated by everyone.
Now the well water is still flowing out, clean and dustless. (6) Xianjing is located on the Zijiang River in Xiwai Street. There is an ancient fairy well, also known as Yunquan. According to legend, He Xiangu, the only woman of the Eight Immortals, passed by here. Seeing that the wellhead is like a column, it is cold and transparent, and the water quality is sweet and clear, she drinks water here.
Fairy ancient well is divided into three layers, one for drinking water, one for washing clothes and vegetables, and the third for carrying water and watering vegetables. There is a monument on the stone wall on the first floor, engraved with the words "ancient fairy well" The handwriting is simple, full of scarlet, very eye-catching. The water flowed out of the stone wall, the mouth of the teacup was thick, and it fell into the well, gurgling like a harp.
The water is fragrant and bright, like a fairy tale. Residents and tourists in nearby villages are proud of the ancient fairy well, and they don't want to leave. It is said that drinking well water from immortals often can strengthen the body and prolong life. Recently, due to the unfavorable factors of running water and building communities, Xi 'an.
There are some famous places in Shaoyang, including historical sites, buildings and specialties. The scenery in Shaoyang is very beautiful, including Wolf Mountain in Xinning, Nanshan Mountain in Chengbu, Baiyun Mountain in Xinshao, Yunshan Mountain in Suining, Jiulongling and Liuguangling in Shaodong, etc. They are all beautiful, and the development of tourism resources is not inferior to other attractions, such as drifting, which is popular now. Beautiful scenery, revealing the original fresh and pleasant. It's just that Shaoyang people still lack a little awareness of icing on the cake-propaganda, which makes not many people in Shaoyang, Hunan know, but when it comes to Hunan, they focus on Zhangjiajie and Shaoshan. It's a pity, but it's not bad. When there are more tourists here one day, the economy may go up, leaving our hometown people with the destruction of natural scenery.
In recent years, I have also been to many scenic spots in East China, such as Taihu Lake, Zhejiang Grand Canyon, Zhoushan and so on. I often live in resorts, but I always feel that I can't compare with the mountains and water in my hometown. It is precisely because of the publicity that people who are tired of city life are willing to relax and return to nature in these resorts. When it comes to the strangeness, beauty and danger of the scenery, there is still a gap compared with our Shaoyang. I still remember 1998 when I went to Chengbu, the local people took me to a cave, much like reed flute cave in Guilin. What's even more strange is that there is a bamboo raft floating inside, which is very dangerous and the current is very urgent. The height of the cave is amazing. At the lowest, people had to lie on their backs and watch the rocks slide off their noses. It's really thrilling. After that cave exploration, many times in recent years,
Shaoyang eats a lot of things, mainly referring to special things, such as pig blood balls, which are local specialties. Baoqing pig blood meatballs are still famous. Two years ago, Shaoyang enterprises packaged it into products for external sales. I also bought it in Changsha, but I haven't seen it on the supermarket shelves in Nanjing since I came to Nanjing. I have been wondering when I can be as famous as salted duck in Nanjing and stinky tofu in Changsha. I remember when I was a child, my mother always bought a lot of tofu from the countryside, and then mixed it with pig blood and minced meat into mud, then kneaded it into pills one by one, put it in a bamboo sieve and let me take it to the roof to dry. After drying, I can smoke it in winter, cut it into pieces, and stir-fry it with chopped pepper in the countryside. It is delicious.
In fact, when it comes to food, there are many things to talk about, such as rice noodles. Friends who have been to Shaoyang must know that there is a large piece of beef noodles in the Hui canteen not far from Qinglong Bridge, and the taste is absolutely authentic. Shaoyang rice noodles have always been the local staple food, with a variety of toppings, such as oily tofu, tied vegetables (homophonic, pickles in the jar), sour radish, pig's trotters and so on. Shaoyang's rice noodles have always been our favorite, but unfortunately we can't eat this kind of rice noodles in other places now.
There are many other famous products, such as day lily (scientific name day lily), tangerine (Shaoyang once held a tangerine festival), arrowhead mushroom (scientific name water chestnut), Wugang stew, bracken and so on. In addition to these common specialties, there are some little-known products, such as camellia oleifera in the border area between Shaoyang and Guangxi. This kind of camellia oleifera is different from ordinary camellia oleifera and can be delicious. In addition, there are many auxiliary materials and snacks, which are often round before you know it. This kind of tea is used by local people to entertain distinguished guests, so it is not easy to make. Besides tea, there is a story that if a local woman falls in love with a visiting guest, she will put a trick in camellia oil tea and let him drink it. This method is very effective. After winning, there is no other way unless she unties it herself. The purpose of her method is not to leave her. This move is cruel. I often think that maybe the woman who used this method didn't think of the social chaos now. There are few virtuous women like her. Love now usually only cares about what she once had. For such a spoony woman, this method is really a wonderful way to bind a man's heart.
When it comes to Shaoyang, we can't help but mention the people of Shaoyang, who are strong-willed, brave and affectionate. This is also famous. A few years ago, many bloody cases were caused by the loyalty and temper of Shaoyang people. These years have improved, but the plot of Shaoyang people who dare to love and hate remains unchanged. If you become friends with him, he will cut out his heart for you. If you cheat him, he won't let you go easily. Especially the young women, who are pungent in character, are just outside and soft inside. Don't blink when you are angry, be gentle and considerate when you are happy. It really makes you love and hate.
Of course, I have a different impression of Shaoyang, but I still have many good memories in my heart. In a word, my hometown always has so many beautiful places in my heart, but I hate that I can't tell the world.
