I can finally calm down and write this travel note.
Longshu Valley is located in Huangya Village, Xiangling Town, Xiangfen County, Linfen City. It is called "Huangya Mountain" by the locals. This yellow cliff is not that yellow cliff.
We heard the legend about Longshu Valley in Huangya Mountain from generations of old people. Legend has it that this mountain had beautiful scenery, outstanding people, and excellent feng shui. It was protected by water dragons and fire dragons. During droughts, water dragons moved in the clouds and spread rain, and during floods, fire dragons appeared to fight disasters. They are a pair of good brothers who protect the peace of the people.
Later, the two dragons discovered that there was a treasure land in the valley, which was suitable for cultivation, so they rushed to take it for themselves, causing a lot of trouble. This is a hardship for the local people, and they are in dire straits. One day, a wandering monk passed by this place and found that something was wrong here. It was supposed to be a prosperous place, but how could it be so deserted? After asking, he learned about the two dragons. He went into the mountain and surrendered two dragons. During the fight, one dragon was wounded and fled north. Passing by Xiyang and Jingcun, two drops of dragon's blood fell outside the village and turned into two clear springs. To this day, the water from these two springs still flows continuously, is sweet and clear, and is used by villagers to pound clothes and wash vegetables.
There is a cave entrance on each side of the mountain on both sides of the archway, one is the Fire Dragon Cave and the other is the Water Dragon Cave. The only remaining fire dragon cave on the south side is the Fire Dragon Cave. When I was a child, I would climb up to see the majestic dragon every time I went into the mountain. The cave is thin and deep, and the width at the opening becomes narrower as you go in. I also admire the ancients and follow the cave. I built this lifelike dragon. Defend, guard this mountain.
From ancient times to the present, many literati and poets have come to burn incense and worship Buddha, recite poems and compose rhymes, and they have also left many calligraphy treasures. The four characters "ancient bridge overpass" are particularly famous. The overpass was originally a natural bridge formed by hundreds of millions of years of natural weathering and erosion by running water. The beauty of nature has left behind such a magical natural landscape and many popular poems: "Two Immortals Bridge at the top of Tianmen, with misty white clouds in hand You can do it. Sitting in seclusion, my hair and bones are gradually refreshed, and the feathers of the graceful crane are falling."
When I was a child, I always thought that the mountains were very high and the road was very far. But every time I go to a temple fair, I still come to climb the mountain and see the temple. In the past, incense was very popular here. You can smell a strong smell of smoke when you walk up to this step. You can't get close to the incense burner. The smoke is thick and the fire is shining into the sky.
Because there is a Hua Tuo Temple here, and there are temple fairs twice a year. Travelers from far away will come back to buy a stick of incense and burn a piece of yellow paper, and ask Grandpa Hua Tuo to bless their family's health, safety and health.
Opposite the Huatuo Temple is a small stage built on the cliff. Although I went up the mountain countless times, I only caught up with the opera once. The wide sleeves, figure, and singing style of that time will never be forgotten. .
Beside the stage, there is an open space with an old stone turtle lying on its back. I used to ride on its back when I was a child. Now, it still lies there, watching the tourists coming and going in the mountains. The seasons change. There are high steps to the south, 365 steps, which means good luck and peace 365 days a year. Climb up to the Nantianmen, with the Three Emperors Temple on the top, and the famous generals of the Eastern Han Dynasty are enshrined on the left and right. I haven't been able to remember exactly which deity is the head of the main hall for so many years, but I still know a little bit about the Duke of Zhou and the Peach Blossom Girl.
It turns out that Lei Zhenzi in the list of gods also has a prototype.
I'm only telling what I remember. There are many historical allusions, so you need to watch the documentary and listen to the explanation at the tourist service center of the scenic spot.
When I was a child, I couldn’t get enough of this magical place. I always felt that in addition to the beautiful scenery, it must also have many stories, a lot of history, and many footprints left by celebrities, such as the county magistrate’s Eshan Bridge, such as Shiyan Temples, such as Zhenwu Temple, such as Zhao Kuangyin who drew lots and took medicine to recover in Huatuo Temple, such as General Wei Chigong who was surrendered by Qin King Li Shimin here, such as...
Today's Longshu Valley, anyone who knows how to appreciate it People came to build it, making it more beautiful and fairyland. Some modern recreational facilities were also added to attract young people.
As a native, I still love the green mountains, the fairy tales, the bustling temple fairs, and the rural life full of fireworks.
I have walked on bridges in many places, climbed mountains in many places, worshiped in many temples, and seen many scenery. I still miss the scenery of my childhood.
Maybe this is the feeling of those born in the 1980s! !
