1. Shuifu Ancient Temple
Built in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, its original site is on the west temple of Taibai Lake. The temple has a long history and has experienced vicissitudes of life. It has been moved and abandoned several times, but the recorded materials remain. There is only one preface to the Santi Zhongchangchang Temple in Taoxu. The preface says: The ancient temple on the waterfront of Taibai Lake was the first place where Song Gong Feixian came to Meixi in the Eastern Jin City. After the Feixian left, the villagers built it to worship and built it. More than two thousand years. Among the ruins of the old site, a broken monument was found during the Emperor's reign of the Yuan Dynasty. The body of the monument was incomplete and the writing was mottled, as if one could identify the words "Erzui" and "Qinglian'an" in the Kaihuang Temple in the Sui Dynasty. According to the records of Huangmei County in the former Qing Dynasty, in the ninth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, an order was issued to build a temple in Shaluozui, which shows that Shuifu Ancient Temple has been established for a long time and is indeed a Taoist holy land.
Historically, northern immigrants moved southward, but not many people settled in Taibai Lake, which shows that the water town of Taibai Lake was extremely desolate. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the end of the Tang and Five Dynasties, from the Jin Dynasty to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, northern refugees Most of them fled to the south of the Yangtze River and became Hakkas. It was not until the Ming Dynasty, especially after the Yongle period, that the political situation became more stable, and many people moved back to the north of the Yangtze River from the south of the Yangtze River, looking for settlements in various places. Taibai Lake also began to be favored by many surnames, and the thirteen surnames along the lake were born. Taibai Lake is dozens of miles away, rich in fish and lotus, and rich in resources. In the feudal era, the lake was managed by the thirteen surnames, and Shuifu Temple was the public temple of the thirteen surnames. According to the records of the remnant stele of Zhenggong Pagoda, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there was a temple built in Shaluzui, northwest of Hubei Province, dedicated to the Lord Mei Tongblessed. Because of the high terrain of Shalutsui, people settled there earlier. Later, during the Wude period of the early Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty The great ancestor Li Yuan once issued an edict to rebuild the temple at the lower pier of Shaluzui Kiln and still offer it to the blessed Lord of Meishan.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were continuous floods, and the temple collapsed many times. In the 30th year of Qing Dynasty, a sudden flash flood pushed the entire temple away. At that time, Shaluozui (Shuifu West Temple) was burned by fire, so the people along the lake on both sides (both belonging to Huangmei Taibai Town) gathered at the east wall of Shaluozui and decided to rebuild Shuifu Temple and merge the east and west temples. On the top of Guishan Mountain in Hunan, ground was broken for the construction of two large Buddha halls with ten thousand-character stacks on the front and back, with the mountain facing the lake. He owns dozens of acres of pastoral land and a dozen monks. He also casts a four-hundred-jin bell and a two-hundred-jin iron stick. For the rich Lord's statue to travel, a large iron sedan weighing 360 kilograms was specially made. Since then, the incense has become more and more popular, and Huangguang's reputation has spread. At that time, Taibai Lake was connected to the Yangtze River, up to Jianghan, and up and down to Anhui and Zhejiang. Merchant ships and military ships were frequent. If it was rainy, windy and rough, ships would come and go. With the help of sky lanterns, the shipowners and fishermen would clear the direction. Burning incense and worshiping, the reputation of flying immortals filled the southeast.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Shuifu Temple was the meeting hall of Taibai Lake fishery. After liberation, Hushan underwent major reconstruction, and Guishan Temple was transformed into a fishing headquarters. When the Taibai Lake Breeding Farm was built in Huanggang area in 1955, they lived in the Shuifu Temple. It was not until the Cultural Revolution that the temple was completely destroyed.
Shuifu Temple, also known as Shuifu Temple, is where the Taibai Lake Fishing Team is now located. It is now rebuilt in Xiangyuan Village, Huaqiao Town, Wuxue City, 1.5 kilometers away from the Taibai Lake Fish Team.

It was named Chunshan Pagoda and commonly known as Zheng Gong Pagoda." Zhenggong Pagoda is surrounded by mountains behind, and the lake is in front of it. The lakes and mountains are beautiful, and the scenery is full of interest.

The scenery around the tower is green pines and willows. It is said that this tower has a history of more than a thousand years. The temple was built with a pagoda to ensure that the fortune of Zheng Gong's pagoda would not decline. To build the pagoda, a boy would be used to lay the foundation. The rich man chose a nine-year-old girl and buried her alive under the pagoda foundation. . Strangely enough, at midnight that night, the craftsmen and migrant workers who built the tower heard the little girl crying. From that day on, the little girl's miserable cry could be heard every night. The cry was not heard until the beginning of spring the next year, when a pepper tree grew on the top of the tower. The pepper tree grew when the wind blew, and it didn't take long for you to grow up. When he walked to the tower, he could smell the aroma. When he heard it, he ran to look at the tree.

The ancient name is Qinglin Lake. "Shangshu" records: "The river passes through Jiujiang, and as for Dongling, it flows southwest, and the water accumulates into a lake. "There is Qinglin Mountain in the west of the lake, so it is called Qinglin Lake. This is recorded in "Shui Jing Zhu" written by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Dynasties. Wushan Lake is named after Wushan Mountain, and is also called Wushan Lake. The acupoint is in "Erya" "It means waterway, and in "Yuanhe County and State Chronicles" and "Shangshu" (Yu Gongli Wuxue was called Dongling, because Huanggang was formerly called Xiling. Yu Gongzai, Dongling is the boundary between Yangzhou and Jingzhou). Wujia Point is the first point in Jiujiang.

There is a unique world here. Look at the spring mountains on the village, the autumn water in the lake, the yellow rice and white cotton, the plain snow and the red plum blossoms, and the four seasons paint a natural picture.
p>When I first read this couplet, Wushan Lake touched my aesthetic nerve. Later, I learned about the legend of Wushan Lake through newspapers. It is said that when Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang fought against Chen Youliang, he was defeated and retreated to Wushan. On the shore of the lake. But seeing the vast water, no ferry in front, and pursuers behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up to the sky and sighed: "God will help me live, but God will help me die!" " Before he finished speaking, he saw two big carps, one green and one red, swimming quickly. Zhu Yuanzhang panicked and stepped on the back of the red carp. The carp swung its tail and carried Zhu Yuanzhang and galloped away. The green carp followed closely. Chen Youliang made a plan The horse chased to the lake and hurriedly fired the arrow. It was too late, but soon, the green carp jumped to the water, blocked the arrow, and hit the fish's belly. The fish suddenly turned into an island. , this is today's Wushan Village. This lake is called Wushan Lake. I have no intention of verifying whether the legend has historical basis, but the magical Wushan Lake always makes me have the urge to get close to it. In early summer, I went to Wushan Lake. We just have a chance to get close to it.
