Ancient Guizhou Qianfeng, people have always been difficult.

Far-reaching economic talent, vertical and horizontal etiquette and music relative.
Three kings and eight handsome have a rural show and sit firmly on the top of Tianjin.
Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, jade Qing.
Morale is not inspiring, and the literary field is like a battlefield.
After the nine passes, Tiger and Leopard watched the enemy, and Wan Li Kunpeng talked in the play.
Old eyes are clear, and gentlemen fight against the south. "

There are thousands of caves and stone peaks, hundreds of lakes and ponds in the area. During this period, the valley was wide and flat, and the mountains were mostly pulled up flat, and solitary peaks, flowing springs and peak forests were all around.

It is the essence of Guilin's landscape, forming the beauty of green hills, beautiful waters and waterfalls.

The origin of Guilin landscape
Friend, when you mention Guilin, you may immediately think of its mountains like hairpin, such as its water, deep caves and rugged rocks, and then think of drizzle and dreamlike wonders! I think, if you can learn more about the beautiful stories related to mountains and rivers, then you will better understand the wonderful charm of Guilin's mountains and rivers.
A long time ago, there were no mountains or water in Guilin, not to mention the bustling population and osmanthus trees. At that time, the name Guilin did not exist! Then, why did Guilin grow into a osmanthus forest? Why are there strange mountains and rivers that are famous all over the world? This has to start from the flat peach festival of the queen mother.
After the Queen Mother's flat peach pageant was disturbed by the Monkey King, it could not be held. The four fairies in the sky ―― Chang 'e, Weaver Girl, Magu and Yuan's daughter went to see the scenery of Yaochi. Along the way, I saw the Fairy Hill Qiongge, Yushu Yin Hua, Tianchi Lotus and Heming, which is a good place for immortals. On a whim, Ma Gu said, "It's nothing more than going around Yaochi. With our magic, we can also build one. "
Chang' e immediately agreed: "I said, why don't we find a place to do our own magic and build a Yaochi Lele?" Yuan Nv said cautiously, "Breaking the dogma is no joke."
The Weaver Girl has a plan: "Then let's go to the world and stay away from the land of right and wrong." Chang 'e said, "Let's split up and build a garden at once to see who is better."
Hearing this, the Third Fairy clapped her hands and said it was wonderful. So everyone agreed to see who could build the most beautiful forest garden on earth in three days.
The first day passed, and Ma Gu chose a place belonging to Lunan County, Yunnan Province, and built a stone forest in Yunnan, which is called "the first wonder in the world". Magu is in heaven. The next day passed, and the Weaver Girl chose the place now called Hangzhou to create the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. The weaver girl couldn't help laughing like a flower.
The third day came, and Yuan Nv chose a place later called Luoyang. With a wave of her hand, she split the Longmen Grottoes, and with a finger of the jade hand, colorful and elegant peonies blossomed everywhere. She is also very proud of her excellent work.
Only Chang 'e went down to earth for three days and never chose a satisfactory place. Seeing that time was running out, she flew anxiously to the south. When she came to the place now called Guilin, she saw the bare wilderness, no water, no mountains, and the lives of ordinary people were miserable. Chang 'e feels pity.
So, Chang 'e took out the osmanthus tree from the moon palace, and the fairy waved her sleeve and planted the wild osmanthus tree. "Guilin, Guilin and osmanthus trees have become forests." That's why the place name "Guilin" was formed. Chang 'e drove colorful auspicious clouds to the mountains in the north. She blew a fairy breath into the mountain, and the mountain immediately turned into a horse with its head held high. She led the way on a fast horse, and the horse obediently followed him south. After a long and arduous journey, these horses were finally driven to Guilin. According to her own design, Chang 'e turned the horse into a stone mountain, and arranged it skillfully: put three horses here, build five piles there, put a mountain in the east and a row of hills in the west. Now, you see-the high Monkey Mountain was the leading horse of that year, and Ma 'anshan was the saddle where Chang 'e sat. ......
Those stone horses seem to have captured Chang 'e's mind and turned into tall and handsome green hills with different postures. The mountains are shaded by trees, and the mountains in Guilin are more beautiful and more clever every day. Chang 'e skillfully placed the stone mountain, making the peaks of Guilin stand tall and the strange caves are deep. Together with the original osmanthus forest, it really became a hundred-mile garden. Unfortunately, there is no water. Compared with the West Lake in Hangzhou, it is a fly in the ointment.
Chang 'e wanted to follow the example of Weaver Girl and "borrow water" from Yaochi, but the Queen Mother had already found out that Weaver Girl was imprisoned and sent heavenly soldiers to look after Yaochi. Even the vast Tianhe River is heavily guarded.
On this day, Chang 'e racked her brains to find a way. It happened that Guanyin in the South China Sea was passing through Guilin. She was attracted by the soaring fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus, and when she followed the fragrance, she saw strange peaks everywhere, which were beautiful and wonderful, and she couldn't help smiling and full of praise. But when she looked around the fields and looked around, she couldn't help but sigh: "Good, good! Unfortunately, there is a river missing, which has broken a lot of gas fields. "
Hearing this, Chang 'e hurried to the Bodhisattva and said, "Master is absolutely right. I am worried about it!"
The Bodhisattva opened her mouth and said, "What's the trouble? All you have to do is dig a river in the mountains, and then pour the water from my clean bottle into the river, and it will be crystal clear. "
Chang 'e immediately swept away all the clouds, smiled, thanked Guanyin, and was about to talk with a clean bottle. Bodhisattva repeatedly urged Chang 'e to return the clean bottle at the fifth watch, otherwise she would be locked in the moon and not allowed to leave her post without leave.
The fairy readily promised. An ideal river course was chosen among the mountains, forming a wonderful environment surrounded by mountains and water, which set each other off and became interesting. Then, she flew back to the Moon Palace, picked up the flower hoe for planting trees and threw it in the selected direction. As a result, a modest river miraculously opened, like Youlong walking a snake, winding.
It was already four o'clock when Chang 'e went from Xing 'an to Guilin and talked to Yangshuo. To the south, there are still hundreds of miles to communicate with the Xijiang River system, which cannot be completed before the May 4th Movement. If the river ends here, a large area of land south of Yangshuo will dry up forever. She pondered for a long time. Dilemma ... The cock crows at the top of the sky, breaking Chang 'e's meditation. She has a mouthful of jade teeth and is bold. She is determined to risk being punished by Guanyin and give the river the direction of Wuzhou now. When Chang 'e leaves Xing 'an in the north, the Xijiang River in Nantong is hundreds of miles away. The wheel of the sun god Xi has leapt to Dongshan. Surprised, she quickly poured the bottle of pure water into the river. A clear stream slowly went south, and Guilin was suddenly flooded with water. The reflection is bright, adding thousands of gestures and charm, and it has become a treasure trove of mountains and rivers!
But Guanyin's mother's net bottle has lost its magic at this moment, drifting from Xing 'an to Guilin Cockfighting Beach. Since then, the bottle has become a stone mountain, which is now the bottle mountain. So Guanyin was very angry and ordered Chang 'e to die. When Guilin people parted from Chang 'e, they really cried for a hundred miles, and tears flowed into a river.
To commemorate this parting, the river was named Lijiang. The river flowed down the river, and later generations rewritten it as "Lijiang River".
After Chang 'e returned to the palace, she could only lean against the window and look down at the world.
