In the early Ming Dynasty, a large-scale peasant uprising of Yao nationality broke out in Datengxia. The insurgents have been fighting for nearly 200 years. Bitan, Renxianting, Sanmeidong and the nine floors on the north bank of the canyon were all ancient battlefields of that year.
Taiping Mountain Nature Reserve
Dapingshan is located in the hinterland of Datengxia in the northwest of the county seat, about 35 kilometers away from the urban area. Here, with steep mountains, criss-crossing ravines, abundant rainfall, well-developed and peculiar geographical structure, magnificent landscape, fascinating exotic flowers and plants, rare tropical trees and rare birds and animals, it is a relatively complete tropical and subtropical natural seasonal rainforest area in southeast Guangxi. It is known as "Little Xishuangbanna". 1983, the county people's government issued an announcement to designate it as an animal and plant nature reserve.
Daping Mountain has complex terrain and peculiar structure. Most valleys are V-shaped, and some are U-shaped. 90-degree cliffs can be seen everywhere. When you look up from the bottom of the valley, you can often only see the blue sky. The peaks formed by overlapping rocks are like their huge thousand-layer cakes. Overlooking the mountain from the top of the mountain, I saw the vast jungle, flickering in the vast sea of clouds and changing endlessly. Because of the dense forest and abundant water resources, there are many waterfalls in Dapingshan, and the waterfalls in Xiaopingshan Tianqiao flow downstream, overflowing 100 meters. The sound is like thunder, and the spray is dozens of meters away. The scene is particularly spectacular.
Guiping Tropic of Cancer Sign Park
The Tropic of Cancer is the latitude circle north of the equator, and it is also the boundary where the sun vertically illuminates the northern hemisphere. At noon from summer solstice, the sun shines directly on it, and there is no shadow on the vertical pole, and the shadow of objects in the northern region is also the shortest; After the summer solstice, direct sunlight gradually moves south. Winter goes and spring comes, and the sun shines directly here, causing cold seasons. Returnees, this is also called.
The Tropic of Cancer is the astronomical dividing line between the tropics and the north temperate zone, and the area along it is subtropical. The Tropic of Cancer runs through China, Taiwan Province, Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan provinces, with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers. In Guangxi, it passes through Wuzhou, Guiping, Shanglin, Pingguo, Napo and other 16 cities and counties, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers. Therefore, Guangxi has a unique climate, no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer, abundant rainfall, lush vegetation and abundant products. The Tropic of Cancer is of great significance in astronomy, geography, meteorology, agriculture, ecology and other fields.
..... Guiping Ancient County is famous for its cultural relics and beautiful scenery. The establishment of the Tropic of Cancer sign in Guiping is the icing on the cake for both sides of Jiang Xun River. The popularization of science and the education of national conditions have added new gardens, and planning, construction and tourism development have also benefited from them.
It is located at east longitude 1 10 08' 37 "and east longitude 23 26' 15". North latitude 67, this sign covers an area of 2,462 square meters, which is the first sign of the Tropic of Cancer in Guangxi. The main project started on 1996 1 1 month 1 day, and was completed on1June 2, 997.
Luocong Cave, a land blessed by the south.
Luocong Cave is located in the karst residual hills scattered in front of Lianhua Mountain, about 8 kilometers southeast of Baishawei in Yujiang River and 35 kilometers away from the urban area, belonging to Sijian Village. On the plain of five or six kilometers in Fiona Fang, there are nine rocky mountains, one of which is 70 meters high, 350 meters long and 80 meters wide. Sitting facing south, it looks like a boat capsized. Known as one of the 72 blessed places of Taoism and one of the eight scenic spots in Guiping, "Luocong Cave Moon" refers to this stone mountain.
There are ancient human cave sites in Luocong Cave. 1980, cultural relics and archaeologists in autonomous regions and counties found a large number of relics in caves, such as sand-mixed pottery pieces, polished shoulder stone axes, snail cemented layers, animal bones, wild boar teeth, etc., indicating that ancestors lived and lived here for a long time in the Neolithic Age about 67,000 years ago. In a small cave near Longyan, there is still a fairly obvious cultural layer. Cultural relics and archaeologists have collected relics such as stone tools, pottery pieces and snail shells here, which are now in the county museum.
Luocong Cave became a scenic spot, which began in the Song You period (1049 to 1054). At that time, Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao, relatives from Luoyang to Duke Zhou (now Pingnan County), together with their teacher Zhou Dunyi, "traveled all over the places of interest in Xun County", where they once built their homes, studied and gave lectures. Later generations built the Three Confucius Temple in Zhoucheng on the site of their former residence. Today, the temple is gone, but the wall foundation built with large limestone still exists. In the tenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1637), Xu Xiake made a special trip to Luocong Cave, which was recorded in Journey to the West in Guangdong.
Baishishan Taoist temple culture
Baishishan is located 35km southeast of the urban area and 8km northwest of Ma Dongxu. At an altitude of 650 meters, it is called "Baishi Cave" by Taoist scriptures, ranking 2nd1among 36 caves in China. The temple was built in the Song Dynasty and became a tourist attraction after the Ming Dynasty. In the tenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1637), Xu Xiake visited here and wrote a travel note of Baishishan. To the east of the mountain is the Duxiu Peak, with the solitary peak in the sky and the lotus in the west, also known as Goose Head Peak. It is the main peak of Baishi Mountain, with Shousheng Temple at the foot of the mountain, blast furnace and flying squirrel rock not far away, all of which are unique landscapes to attract tourists.
Longtan national forest park
Longtan Forest Park is full of mountains, with overlapping peaks, thousands of peaks like a screen, skyscrapers, and rugged rocks. The rolling mountains are like blue dragons flying up and down. The veins of the mountains are clear and rich in layers. Overlooking the mountains, there are clusters in front of us, uneven and constantly extending outward. The highest peak, Daping Peak, is1158m above sea level, with a relative height of 780m. Surrounded by mountains on all sides, it presents a majestic momentum of indomitable spirit.
There is a deep valley under the peak, and a secluded pool is beside Tianzhu. There are many canyons here, and narrow canyons meander between peaks. Tourists walk through canyons, suddenly walk through steep and prickly slopes, suddenly set foot in streams, and suddenly sneak in sharp rocks. The sound of the waves and the sound of the stream blend together and reverberate in the humid air. The air is filled with the fragrance of moss and earth for many years, a kind of primitive and natural breath and rich wild interest. In this place far away from the hubbub of Shan Ye, breathing the fresh air, watching the trees everywhere and listening to the chirping of birds, the whole body and mind seem to have been washed clean by nature, melted for it and entered the realm of selflessness.
In spring, there are many flowers here and all kinds of herbs are fragrant. The branches give birth to fragrant green leaves, which are full of mountains, bees flying and butterflies flying. Colorful flowers are dotted among them, emitting bursts of floral fragrance. Walking in Longtan, I always feel a strong breath of spring. In midsummer, the shade is dense and the trees are lush. It has also become a sea of green: new green, new green, dark green, dark green and dark green blend together, showing great vitality. Inspiring, inspiring and giving people hope. In autumn, Longtan is colorful. The red leaves of sapium sebiferum and maple trees are soaked in green, alternating red and green, forming a huge and gorgeous oil painting.
Longtan Forest Park has many canyons, dense streams and numerous waterfalls. The stream flowing from the deep mountains twists and turns among the strange rocks in the forest, rising and falling suddenly, forming a first-class rapids and cascading pools and waterfalls. Waterfall is one of the wonders of the park, with vivid and dynamic beauty. Some waterfalls here are as high as 100 meters, hanging on high green rocks, flying in the air like huge crystal curtains; Some waterfalls roared in the valley, and after a few jumps, the sound was like rolling thunder. Numerous water droplets splashed by the stone spring turned into misty water mist. Under the sunshine, the seven-color rainbow often changes, like a colorful bridge flying frame, and the whole valley seems to be shrouded in a golden veil. A close look at the waterfall is like a dragon and phoenix dance, full of vitality; From a distance, the waterfall looks like a white curtain, quiet and elegant. What a beautiful waterfall.
Numerous streams form large and small pools. The big one is more than 500 square meters, and the small one is 10 square meters. The water is clear and blue, and there are many kinds of fish. Some pools are covered with green trees and green cages. They explore the water one by one, just like a big green umbrella, forming a natural indoor swimming pool. Some pools have wide water surfaces, reflecting blue sky, white clouds, distant mountains and trees, rendering a beautiful underwater picture.
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising Site
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution, the largest peasant uprising in the history of China, broke out in Jintian Village of this county on June 6th. Jintian Village is located at the southern foot of Amethyst, 27 kilometers north of the county seat. The ruins of Wei Changhui's former residence in the village, the ancient camp and training ground on the rhinoceros ridge next to the village, the nearby Amethyst Mountain area, the Sanjie Temple in Xinxu and the Shek Kok in Jiangkou are all places where the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conducts important activities. Among them, jintian uprising is listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit at 196 1, and Xinxu Sanjie Temple is listed as an autonomous regional key cultural relics protection unit. People at home and abroad come to visit in an endless stream, and famous historians such as Hu Sheng and Luo Ergang have come here for academic investigation. According to incomplete statistics, from 1978 to 1987, * * received more than 250 experts, scholars and friendly people from the United States, Britain, Japan, Canada, Australia, France, Switzerland, the Democratic Republic of Germany and some African countries, and received about 1987 domestic and foreign tourists.
Zijingshan scenic spot
Zijing Mountain belongs to the remnant vein of Dayao Mountain, located at the northern end of the city, adjacent to Penghua Mountain in Pingnan County in the east and Wuxuan, Xiangzhou and Jinxiu counties in the northwest. It has a vast territory, covering an area of 270 square kilometers. The mountains overlap in this land. Lin Hai is boundless, and the three waters of Daping, Tian Xin and Hualei meet from north to south, then break through the canyon through Fengmen 'ao and head for Jintian Plain.
Zijingshan is a mountainous area with strange water, and the flood term is 13 13 meters above sea level. Because "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away", the Yao uprising in Datengxia in Ming Dynasty was once "taken as a cave dwelling" (old county annals). 185 1 year, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolted in Jintian Village, and Zijingshan became the cradle of this peasant uprising. Up to now, the remains of two peasant uprisings can be seen everywhere. In Zijingshan, Zhuang, Han and Yao live next to each other, and Zhuang Village and Yao Village have unique scenery.
Zijingshan is located at the junction of several counties. After the middle of Qing Dynasty, it used to be a land traffic tunnel for Zhou Xun, Liuzhou and Wuzhou. On a map, Old Wuxuan County Records marked Dongzhang Street, a narrow path from Dongxiang to Zijingshan in wuxuan county, as "thoroughfare avenue". After liberation, scholars studying economic history came in an endless stream, looking for the development of capitalist commodity economy in modern Guangxi along this "avenue".
Such a "thoroughfare avenue" also extends from the north of Zijing Mountain to Xiangzhou County through the flooding boundary. According to historical records and the old people of Zijingshan passed down from generation to generation, after the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (the end of 65438+1940s), a large number of "mountain-crossing tourists" traveled along this rugged path, passing through the south of Zijingshan, then passing through Jintian Plain, and transported all kinds of mountain products and local products to the Dahuanghekou on the Jiang Xun River, and then transported them to Wuzhou and Guangzhou by water. Crossing the Dongxiang boundary and the flood boundary to the west and north, a large number of so-called "foreign goods" such as "East Salt", "Foreign Yarn" and "Huoyou" were transported to Wuxuan and Xiangzhou, and then to Liuzhou and Guizhou. These "mountain tourists" are all on the road, ranging from dozens of people every day to two or three hundred people every day.
Villages such as Jiejiao under the flood boundary, Hualei under the deep water boundary and Dongxiang boundary are the only way to cross the mountain. At that time, the villagers opened a lot of road shops, specifically for merchants to stay. Up to now, local old people can also give directions to visiting guests. That's where the road shop opened, and it's as vivid as a few treasures.
Bauhinia mountain area once gave birth to Datengxia Yao People's Uprising and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising. Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan secretly conducted anti-Qing activities here for several years, leaving many historical sites that attracted Chinese and foreign tourists.
In Amethyst, there are three ethnic groups: Zhuang, Han and Yao. Yao village in Zhuang village has unique scenery and style. In recent years, more and more people come to visit it.
The First Ancient Pagoda in Guangxi-East Pagoda
"East Tower" is one of the eight scenic spots in Guiping. The section of Jiang Xun River facing the East Tower is located under Yanglan Beach, and underwater reefs can be seen everywhere. After the confluence of the two rivers in Guizhou and Chongqing, the current was swift, blocked by rocks and stirred up a whirlpool. For miles, the river is choppy, circulating and changing endlessly, making it a spectacle. Therefore, it is called the East Tower.
The East Tower is located in Nan 'an City of Jiang Xun and Wang Xun Town of Guiping City. It is named after the eastern suburb of the city, 4 kilometers away from the city. It is the tallest ancient pagoda in Guangxi. 1963 is listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in the autonomous region.
The East Tower was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It was raised by Liu Wanan, the magistrate of Guiping County, but only two floors were built after Liu Wanan's death. During the Chongzhen period, the nine-story pagoda was built by the magistrate Li Cuoxiong and Ge.
Regarding the construction of the East Tower, there is a saying circulating in the local area: once upon a time, a Feng Shui gentleman told people that "it is difficult for two rivers to be an official for a long time." He said that Guiping has a long and narrow terrain and a bamboo raft. Two big rivers impact from left to right, bamboo rafts sway, and the official here is always not long. Mr. Feng Shui suggested that just building a pagoda at the intersection of two rivers is like inserting a penny on a bamboo raft. It is said that after Liu Wan 'an became the magistrate of Guiping County, he was convinced of Mr. Feng Shui's statement, so he built the tower on a large scale. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate died in the office before the tower was built.
After more than 400 years of wind and rain, the East Tower has become a ruin. In the mid-1990s, the Guiping Municipal People's Government maintained the East Tower according to its original appearance.
The tower is an octagonal hollow column brick tower with a bottom diameter of12m and a height of 50m. Each floor is decorated with nine double eaves and painted with vermilion. There are 8 ghost corner doors on each floor, of which 2 are real doors and 6 are fake doors. There is a spiral through the wall in the tower, reaching the top floor. There is a copper gourd at the top of the tower, which was originally for "exorcism" and decoration, but actually played the role of a lightning rod. The eight cornices on each floor were originally equipped with bronze bells, 64 of which tinkled in the wind and could be heard for miles. Unfortunately, they no longer exist.
The East Tower is located in the Jiang Xun Plain, surrounded by vast land, with cars coming and going, the river flowing by the tower and hundreds of boats racing. The East Tower rises like a pen, pointing directly at the sky, echoing the western hills and Baishishan in the distance. It is magnificent and spectacular. In the past, there were many rocks under the Jiangxun River near the tower. The river was blocked and stirred, and the tower shadow swayed in the river, which was very beautiful.
Guangxi first village
Guoshang Village, Zhongsha Town, Guiping City
Guangxi News Network-South China Morning Post reporter Gui Liang Luo Wei
Guoshang Village, Zhongsha Town, Guiping City, is located in the depths of the mountain area. From the perspective of development, it is undoubtedly in a "geographical position" disadvantage. Surprisingly, relying on the unique medicinal resources in mountainous areas, the village not only established famous enterprises, but also created a miracle with an annual output value of 200 million yuan, per capita profits and taxes exceeding 10,000 yuan and per capita net income of 8,000 yuan.
There are the most BMW cars in the village.
It takes nearly two hours to drive south from Guiping City, and then detour from Xingye County to the depths of Darong Mountain. What I saw along the way was almost the same as the ordinary rural scene in Guangxi. However, when the reporter's vehicle is driving on the winding mountain road with hardened road surface, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other luxury cars pass by from time to time. Some insiders are sure that these cars are driven by Guoshang Village, and only their village in the mountains has this strength. Later, he pointed to a hill in the distance and said, "That's Guoshang Village." The reporter looked around and saw glazed tile buildings on the green hills.
After entering the village, the reporter was dumbfounded by what he saw: many villagers' residential buildings were full of heroism. At the entrance of Guoshang Village, there is a big house covering an area of thousands of square meters, with glazed tiles on more than two floors, forming a square manor. After entering the gate more than 3 meters wide, the scenery of the courtyard is like a park, with lawns, ponds, fountains, rockeries and pavilions. The villagers told reporters that this villa with dozens of rooms is only the residence of a family in the village. Walking on the village road, the reporter found that there are many similar luxury houses. Although the area is not as big as that at the entrance of the village, the building is exquisitely decorated with flowers and plants. There is a cement road in the village, and the wheels can drive to the door of the house without getting muddy.
According to reports, the villagers in the village generally bought household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners and microwave ovens. Among the more than 300 households in the village, there are 7,800 color TVs, with an average of more than two. Mr. Mo, a villager, told reporters that his family has eight color TVs, and almost every bedroom has one. He said half-jokingly, "Anyway, the color TV is only 1000 yuan, so buy more and keep them, lest the children fight for the remote control again." However, after his children didn't compete for the remote control, they had a new "trouble", and they began to compete for the only computer in the family to surf the Internet. Mr. Mo was worried that being addicted to computers would affect his children's study, so he decided not to buy more computers. So as soon as the children were out of school, Mr. Mo urged them to exercise in the basketball court outside. There are eight basketball courts in the village, so don't worry about no space. In addition, according to statistics, there are more than 40 private cars in the village, including BMW luxury car 15, and most other cars are more than 200,000 yuan.
Business brings prosperity.
The wealth of Guoshang Village is beyond the reporter's expectation and even enviable, which is directly or indirectly related to a company in the village, that is, the famous Guangxi Yuanantang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
10 Years ago, Guoshang Village was a relatively poor village in Guiping City. Most villagers' houses are not even as good as today's pigsty. As soon as the gale passed, everyone had to look around for straw and lay the roof. Some villagers told reporters that everyone brought sawdust to the toilet, and few people knew about toilet paper. At that time, the villagers either managed to live on land with a per capita share of more than two points, or went out to work with their bags on their backs. Few people dare to live in buildings.
In the early 1990s, Mo, a villager, took the lead in setting up a business, intending to make herbs that nobody cares about in the mountainous areas of Rong Da into food and medicine for sale. At that time, few people in the village realized that the enterprise would succeed, and even when the factory lacked raw materials, the villagers were reluctant to grow herbs for sale. Artificial medicinal materials did not appear until the enterprise made a guarantee to buy all the medicinal materials planted by the villagers.
Per capita contribution of villagers 1 ten thousand yuan tax.
No one would have thought that it was only 10 years ago. Not only the shareholders of Yuanantang drive luxury cars, but also Guoshang Village has benefited a lot. With the support of Yuan 'antang, some villagers set up supporting economic entities, such as cardboard box factories, Chinese herbal medicine refineries and transportation teams. , and gradually moved into the villa. After Yang Dajiang, a villager, retired from the army, his job was nowhere to be found and his life was difficult. Don't invite him to set up a medicine bottle factory, and subsidize 6.5438+0 million yuan to buy equipment and train personnel. All the qualified products produced are underwritten by Yuan Antang, and now his medicine bottle factory pays more than 2 million yuan in taxes every year. More than 700 laborers in the village, most of them went to Yuan 'antang factory to work, became farmers enjoying weekends and lived in reinforced buildings. It is understood that Yuan 'antang paid a tax of160,000 yuan in 2005, which means that there are more than160,000 people in Guoshang Village, and each person can create tens of thousands of yuan in tax revenue every year.
Fortunately, although the wallets are bulging, the villagers of BCCHK are not infected by the bad atmosphere of society. After work, playing basketball is the villagers' favorite activity, and there are competitions agreed between villagers almost every day. There are eight Guanggong basketball courts in the village, not including the basketball stands set up by some villagers in their own yards. The villager Mo Mou told the reporter that he was working in Yuan 'antang and his work was very busy. He has no time to touch those bad things. Playing basketball can exercise him. This is killing two birds with one stone. In addition, Yuan 'antang will invite the literary and art team in the city to hold a Spring Festival Gala for the villagers during the Spring Festival. Some experts have visited Guoshang Village and found that the village has basically reached or exceeded the original economic and social indicators of a well-off society in 2020.
