Yunpan Mountain, formerly known as Wuyun Mountain, is located in the northwest of Wanshan Special Zone, with an altitude of more than 800 meters, which is one of the highest points in the city. On the left and right are Guanshan Mountain and Daponao Mountain, three mountains and one line, which are equal in height, just like three close sisters, always faithfully overlooking this side of the water and soil. The three mountains have different shapes, but the Yunpan Mountain is particularly charming: the north side is a smooth cliff, like the ice skin of a jade bone, holding up all kinds of heads; The bottom of the valley is the source of the Aozhai River in China, flowing eastward, passing through the famous Buddhist holy land Huashan and singing all the way into Jinjiang; The top of the mountain faces south, and the abrupt place shows the charm of the mountain; Looking down from the mountainside, the fan-shaped jungle looks like a girl's pleated skirt.
According to legend, there were often colorful clouds in ancient times, hence the name Wuyunshan. According to Shi Zhizai, there was a temple at the top of the mountain in the early Qing Dynasty, called Cai Yun Temple, which was dedicated to the land and Guanyin, and the incense was once full. This is probably related to the mining of mercury mines at that time. At that time, people from all directions gathered here to dig and chisel stones. The production process was extremely simple, and there must be many disasters and accidents. People naturally need to sacrifice to mountain gods and pray for the protection of bodhisattvas. Yunpan Mountain is a perfect platform, towering into the sky, reaching heaven and overlooking the center of the mining area. The cliff on the north side of the mountain is the famous "Eighteen Pits". The optimism in the traditional spirit of China people gives this mountain a poetic name-Wuyun Mountain. However, I don't know when and why Wuyun Mountain was renamed Yunpan Mountain.
In the era of planned economy, the local people subconsciously dare not set foot in this "feudal" place, and people living in the marginal land "Mercury Capital" seem to have no leisure to put their bodies and minds on it, but they never thought that they were just guarding the feng shui of this mountain: the mountains and plains are green, the trees are lush, the pine forests are lush, and there are natural soft carpets everywhere, so you can feel how much sunshine leaks out. Thousands of artificially planted redwood trees have reached a height of more than 10 meter, which is simply a touch of sunshine in nature; The autumn wind warms the sun, and the frost and rain in early winter have dyed the branches and vines red. The sun is shining brightly and red, and a beautiful natural symphony is playing in the mountains.
A few years ago, some old workers built two small houses on the top of the mountain. Although simple, they invisibly decorate the spirituality of this mountain. The original wide road can be opened to traffic halfway up the mountain, and the path leading to the top of the mountain has regular steps. Every morning, there is an endless stream of people climbing mountains and doing morning exercises. Many people have also brought back real springs from the eyes of the mountains. It is said that this water is very sweet and nutritious.
What is particularly worth reading is the flat and legendary slate on the hillside-"Immortal Bed", which is a must-see for tourists. As the name suggests, the "fairy bed" is composed of dozens of stone slabs as smooth as a bed, which are connected together and surrounded by pine forests, forming a mysterious world of their own. According to one legend, this "fairy bed" is related to the "fairy stone" in the east of Wanshan City: the seven fairies look up at the cliff and shed pearls-the "fairy bed" is the resting place of her tired soul, so anyone who suffers from illness will be blessed by the goddess as long as he lies on the "fairy bed" for a while.
Mountains and rivers have sex, and people have feelings. The overall planning of Wanshan National Mine Park in Mercury City has included the beautification of Yunpan Mountain, and it is believed that Yunpan Mountain will soon become more beautiful and moving.
