Xuanzang, a famous monk, practiced chanting in chaya mountain in his early years. His first disciple, Dao Quan, and his third disciple, Yi Dao, came from Mount Yi. Wu Cheng'en, a gifted scholar in Huai 'an, traveled to Mount Yi to avoid disaster. He drew inspiration from the unique and lifelike grotesque landscapes such as chaya mountain Stone Monkeys, Sleeping Tang Priest, Drunken Bajie, Bai, Dinghai Shenzhen, Laojunyuan, Black Wind Tunnel, Gaolaozhuang and Liushahe, and knocked on the long-brewing art door to create The Journey to the West.

Introduction of Taohua Cave in chaya mountain Scenic Area.
What we see now is the Peach Blossom Cave, in which the Peach Blossom Fairy is enshrined, and there is a hole further inside where only one person can enter. No one can know how deep it is. Legend has it that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, when Wang Mang drove Liu Xiu away, Liu Xiu's pursuers were exhausted and hid in the Peach Blossom Cave. At this time, follwed's pursuers had reached the mouth of the cave and were about to be caught. At this critical moment, a peach blossom girl came out of the peach blossom hole, cleverly and quickly hid Liu Xiu in a water tank and covered his head with a gourd ladle. Wang Mang chased Taohua Cave and was coaxed away by Taohua Girl. When the peach blossom girl picked up the water tank, she didn't see Liu Xiu. To her surprise, she found a dragon lying in the water tank, and Liu Xiu turned the corner. In order to thank the peach blossom girl for saving her life, a courtyard was specially built here for the statue of the peach blossom fairy as a memorial.
A Brief Introduction to Mount Lushan Scenic Area-Mount Lushan Fairy
You see, the statue in front of you is Daxian, the legendary founder of Chayashan. Why is it the founder of Chayashan? According to legend, a long time ago, it was an endless plain, with good weather, bumper crops and people living and working in peace and contentment. One year, there was a heavy rain here, and the flood lasted for several days, and the Lebanese people were in danger. At this time, Daxian used magic to retreat water to save the people. Unfortunately, he was too young and shallow to repel the flood. In desperation, he ran to the queen mother's back garden and threw stones one by one from a rockery. When the flood receded, the people were saved, and the stones he left behind became the Jaya Mountain we see now. In order to praise his love for the people, the Jade Emperor gave the emperor in the world a dream and named this mountain Chaya Mountain.
We don't know whether we found "Yao Ying" in Xinhua dictionary, that is, chaya mountain in Suiping, Henan, but it doesn't make any sense. Such a naming is unique in China.
Of course, the mountain-building by the Great Immortal is just a legend. How did Jaya Mountain come into being? It should be explained in a geological sense. Chaya mountain is located in the east of the southern margin of North China Block in Qinling orogenic belt, a central orogenic system in China. Its main body is mainly composed of granite formed after Yanshanian magma intrusion and condensation 1.23- 1.39 million years ago. Its formation process is divided into two stages:
1, the fracture stage of Chayashan granite and the development of structural joints. In the Cenozoic after Yanshan movement, under the influence of Himalayan movement, tensile cracks appeared in the rock mass, and three groups of vertical primary joints were formed in the rock mass, which divided the Yushan granite mass into granite blocks with different sizes. At the same time, the surrounding rock above the granite body was broken due to the jacking effect of magma intrusion in the early stage, and was first denuded in the process of strong crustal uplift, which made the Chayashan granite body gradually emerge from the surface and accept the long-term weathering and denudation of Cenozoic era.
2. Exposed weathering and denudation stage of granite in chaya mountain. The exposed Chayashan granite body is medium-coarse grained potash feldspar granite. Under the comprehensive weathering of sunlight, air and rain, the minerals protruding from the rock surface are loosened and peeled off, and the fresh rock surface is constantly exposed, which leads to the continuous development of weathering to the deep part of the rock mass.
Among the three groups of primary joints in granite, transverse joints and longitudinal joints are mostly used and fused by structural joints, and the layer joints are also affected to some extent. Therefore, most of the pictographs formed are closely related to structural faults and structural joints. The fracture site is eroded into canyons and cliffs, and the cracks in the rock mass weathered along the structural joints become wider and wider until it is divided into cuboids or cubes, and then it is unstable and collapses before it is completely weathered into spheres. The collapsed rock either slides down the joint surface and leans against the steep rock surface, or stays on the slope or rolls into the canyon. It is often seen that collapsed boulders pile together to form stone sheds and caves. And many relatively stable rocks stand upright in situ, forming various vivid hieroglyphs. In this way, after millions of years of ingenious carving by nature, various vivid pictographic landforms of Chayashan granite rock mass have finally been formed.
Brief Introduction of Baogong Temple in chaya mountain Scenic Area
This simple and elegant green building with tree-lined trees is the famous Baogong Temple. Bao Gong was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, and spent most of his life in Kaifeng, Henan Province. In order to commemorate this saint, large-scale Baogong temples were built in Hefei and Kaifeng. Bao Gong Temple was built in mangshi because Bao Gong saved a cloth when he visited Runing House incognito. The villagers were so grateful that they built three thatched cottages for Bao Gong as a souvenir in this mountain, which later developed into dozens of tile houses in Qing Dynasty, with strong incense. 1997, with the development of tourism, chaya mountain Scenic Area built it into what you see now.
Chaya mountain scenic spot-Wulong Palace
Wulong Palace is one of the important temple relics in chaya mountain. Built in the Tang Dynasty, it was destroyed by the Japanese artillery fire of 1945. After the development of 1989, the scenic spot has been restored to its original appearance. Because there are five dragon kings in it, it was named Wulong Palace.
Wulong Palace is the inheritance and expression of China's "Dragon Culture" by Chinese descendants. It was an official temple established by Wu Fang county government in Tang Dynasty. Every year, the local government holds a sacrificial ceremony here to pray for the prosperity of the country and the good harvest of people from all directions. On dry days, people from all directions will seek children, grandchildren, peace and wealth, and the incense is very prosperous.
Dragons cannot live without water, and it is also learned to build the Dragon Palace here. Everything here has an underground river, which flows through the star well in the pool in front of the palace. On the whole, it is a place where dragons play with pearls. The ancients said, "There are rivers in front and mountains behind." This is a land of geomantic omen. 1992, Tang Guoqiang, the main actor of the Long March film crew, and his party visited Chaya Mountain. On that day, the sky was clear in Wan Li. When they walked to Wulong Palace, it suddenly began to rain lightly. Strangely enough, it cleared up after a few people put on incense.
The totem worship of dragons is the best ancient culture in China and the mainstream culture in China. It is natural and understandable for every Chinese son and daughter to worship the Dragon King.
(e) Chaya Mountain Scenic Spot-10,000 caves
A cave of ten thousand people, as the name implies, can hold ten thousand people. Wan Ren Cave is the product of the beeswax peak fault zone. After the beeswax peak fracture, joint cracks and primary joints are very developed, and the tension-torsion fracture partially weathered into canyons. The rocks on both sides of the canyon weathered along the joints, and the cracks became wider and wider, which made the huge rock blocks divided by the joints unstable and collapsed, and the collapsed rocks poured into deep holes. This is how the caves and stone sheds in Jaya Mountain were formed. The mass cave is also called the black wind tunnel, which is the black wind tunnel in the TV series The Journey to the West. Legend has it that the black bear spirit played pranks in this cave, often pretending to be a beautiful woman, tricking the young man into being cheated, and then sucking his brain while the young man was not paying attention. After learning about it, Chaya Rock Monkey was very angry and determined to kill the people. When the black bear spirit played tricks on the young man again, he and the black bear became listless. After dozens of rounds of war, the black bear spirit finally failed to reach the stone monkey and was killed on the mountain. After this story was collected by Wu Cheng'en, it was compiled into The Journey to the West for the fourth time. Later, Yang Jie, the director of CCTV's The Journey to the West crew, came to Chayashan and took a fancy to this black wind tunnel at first sight. He said, "Let's shoot a the Monkey King-Black Bear Essence here." If you can watch the TV series of Journey to the West again, you will definitely see this hole. Will it be familiar once and for all? Why is it called the cave of ten thousand people? It mainly refers to Gao Yingxiang's training here in the late Ming Dynasty. There are millions of people all over the mountain, and more than 10 thousand people live in this cave alone. A few years ago, someone dug shovels, iron pots and weapons from the cave, so the people of Chayashan also called this cave a cave of ten thousand people. Today, 3 14 meters have been developed in the ten thousand-person cave, and there is a lighting lamp every 3 meters. There are stone steps and ladders in dangerous places, and the holes in them are full of holes. The holes are connected, tortuous and mysterious. Do you want to know the black bear? That doesn't prevent you from exploring the cave and finding a secluded place. As the saying goes, "Last year today, there was a peach blossom and a black bear in this cave, and the black bear didn't know where to go, so I asked Wukong in Journey to the West".
Yao Ying culture
Wonderful movie The Journey to the West.
"There are strange stones in the peak and immortals in the stone." Hundreds of millions of years of sculptures in nature have created the granite pictographic stone landscape of Chayashan, which is characterized by spectacular peaks, axes and sheds, just like a wonderful three-dimensional landscape painting, vividly depicting the Journey to the West.
Climbing up the stairs along the northern mountain, the scene of the original stone is vivid: Tang Priest sleeps peacefully with his hands on his pillows, Friar Sand watches diligently, Wukong seems to jump into the air and fight fiercely with demons, and Bajie lies on the mountainside and sleeps soundly-a natural "master-apprentice picture", which is full of fun. There are rugged rocks in Nanshan, with peaks and cliffs on both sides covering the sky and huge stones rising from the ground. The Black Wind Tunnel is the legendary place where the Monkey King fights the Black Bear Monster, and it is also the location of the TV series The Journey to the West. 300-meter-long caves, rugged rocks and clouds challenge your courage.
Laojun Garden, the main peak of Nanshan, is full of flowers, or lotus flowers, or begonia flowers, or peony flowers, or Jin Juhua ... The flowers in the garden and the spring flowers on the mountain are competing with each other, which makes them very interesting.
As soon as the wind turned, many lovely little stone monkeys came face to face. This is the famous Stone Monkey House. There are many kinds of stone monkeys in the hospital, either climbing mountains and crossing streams, playing and chasing, or sitting quietly listening to birds singing. What is even more surprising is that a statue of a big monkey is 100 feet high, with its head held high to the sky, and it has the potential to shake the clouds, so it is called the Stone Monkey King.
Legend has it that Wu Cheng'en, a gifted scholar of Ming Dynasty, saw this fairyland on earth and heaven, which shocked him and inspired him to write The Journey to the West's masterpiece. If you are there, you will be like climbing a Yaochi and exploring a magical cave, which is also true and illusory.
"Spring comes to Xitou shepherd's purse flower", the most fresh and tender thing in this season is wild vegetables. In the spring of Chaya Mountain, there are green shepherd's purse, wild leek and wild leek all over the mountain, and the aroma is fragrant. Farmers collect fried free-range eggs and stewed chicken soup, which are delicious and nutritious. Don't swallow your tongue when you eat!
The legend of Mount Yi
One year, the Jade Emperor issued an imperial edict: Tell the old gentleman to make pills within 100 days for the immortals to enjoy at the flat peach banquet in the Heavenly Palace. Too old gentleman received the decree, dare not neglect, immediately start work. He saw that the ground around Jaya Mountain was strange, wide and flat, so he built an alchemy furnace there.
It takes a hundred days to make an alchemy. Legend has it that this kind of elixir is eaten by immortals, and when mortals come out, they will work miracles and live forever. When the old man practiced for ninety-nine days, the Jade Emperor ordered him to go to the Heavenly Palace to report on the alchemy. Leave. The old man repeatedly confessed to two boys:
"There are all kinds of snake spirits near the left. They have practiced for more than 800 years and have some magical powers. You should be careful that the snake spirit stole the elixir! "
Then, the old man told the two boys that he set up a lucky cloud and went to the Heavenly Palace.
Just say there is a big ridge in the southwest of the blast furnace. There is a hole under the ridge, and there is a snake essence in the hole. Eight hundred years ago, it was entrenched in caves and only ate passers-by. I heard that the old gentleman was refining the elixir, and my mouth watered all day, dreaming of stealing it and eating it. This time, I was overjoyed to hear that the old man was not at home. He became a boy and went to the blast furnace to play with two boys. They were talking and laughing while playing, getting closer and closer, and then they actually worshipped each other. On the surface, they are affectionate, but in fact they all understand. The alchemist is always on guard against this snake essence, and the snake essence is also feeding the ghost to steal the elixir.
At this moment, an alchemist boy winked at another boy and said, "Brother, I want to go out to take a leak. You two should see it first, but don't leave here. "
The serpent spirit wanted one less furnace watcher, and quickly said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm here to make sure it's okay." Another boy, Shui, said, "I'm sorry, my friend, I have to go out.". Say that finish, two boys left the blast furnace in tandem.
When the two boys went out, they immediately became two small ones and climbed up the window. As soon as I climbed up the window, I saw the snake essence show its true colors, smoking, trying to put out the fire and steal the elixir.
"Fairy, stop!" Two fairies pounced on the snake spirit with cool breeze swords. But the snake spirit practiced for 800 years, and her martial arts were high, so the two fairies could only draw a tie. Seeing that it was not enough, a fairy boy sold a flaw and took the old man's fire stick out of the stove. I saw a golden light, and the old man stood by the fire. He stroked his beard with one hand and pointed at the snake essence with the other, and coughed: "Evil barrier, don't be rude! Surrender soon! "
When the snake spirit heard that the old man was back, his bones were soft with fear, and a white fog fled to the southwest. The old gentleman is chasing him. The snake spirit fled to Tuling, turned into a black wind and got into the hole.
When the old gentleman saw it, he was furious and rushed to the crown. "Don't say that you went into the cave, even if you fled to the edge of heaven and earth, I will catch you." He called 106 fairies to dig a hole. When he dug to a depth of 8864 feet, he met strange rocks of various sizes. Grandpa Lao Jun led the fairies to dig stones together. When he dug up a stone, he threw it behind him. The more stones he digs, the bigger he digs. Seeing that the pile of things could not go down, he chose 3824 fairies with arms and planted them on the nearby flat ground. Dig a piece, insert a piece, the more stones you dig, the bigger and higher you insert ... It took seven days and seven nights to dig a hole, and the snake essence was arrested and punished in the Heavenly Palace.
The old gentleman dug holes and accumulated thousands of stones. Over time, it became a grotesque mountain with caves everywhere. The stones on the mountain are full of teeth, and people call them "canine tooth mountain". Later, people wrote this mountain as "Jaya Mountain". At that time, the old gentleman looked at the mountain for fun, so he put an alchemy furnace on it and refined the elixir. Let an alchemist build a garden. Now there are Laojunyuan and Chayashan alchemy ruins.
