At 30 degrees north latitude, an invisible magical curve, as well as the magical mysteries of nature and civilization, converge near this latitude line. The pyramids of ancient Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon in Cuba, the ruins of the ancient Mayan civilization, Bermuda in the Caribbean, etc. When this line passed through the vast land of China, it also left its mysterious mark. At the same latitude as the Egyptian pyramids, Zhejiang Longyou discovered the ninth wonder of the world in the early 1990s. Longyou Grottoes. Longyou Grottoes are located on Fenghuang Mountain in Shiyanbei Village, Longyou County. This small village is located in the north, with mountains behind it and facing south. It has been known as a Feng Shui treasure land since ancient times. Standing in front of the village, looking from a distance, a canal surrounds it. It has a wide view and a sense of elegance. Phoenix Mountain is a small mountain with an altitude of only 69 meters. In the 1950s, villagers at the foot of the mountain did not necessarily transfer floodwaters to the mountain. The villagers soon discovered that there were many bottomless ponds with fish in them. Once, a villager caught 37 in the pond. One pound of fish. This aroused the interest of villager Wu Anai and others, and they decided to drain the water in the pond to facilitate fishing. On June 9, 1992, Wu Anai and four other villagers chose a washing station with a water surface area of ??only 20 square meters. The water pump started running day and night. The water level dropped and a stone wall gradually collapsed. However, the lower the water surface, the greater the inward slope. On the fourth day, a machine pedal appeared on the water. On the ninth day, the water pump and four huge fish-ridge-shaped stone pillars were exposed, with two sections. After 17 days, water flowed out of the cave and a magnificent underground cave appeared. in front of people. However, no one thinks that there are no fish in the cave. Several farmers worked hard to drain the water in the seven grottoes. Surprisingly, the seven grottoes located in the center of the entire fan-shaped grottoes are laid out in the shape of the Big Dipper. They are arranged into a huge grotto, which is magnificent. The shapes of these caves are quite large, ranging from hundreds to 1,000 square meters, and the caves are 20 to 40 meters high. Corncloths and other openings are large, with steep walls and curved roofs. There are 1 to 4 fishtail-shaped stone pillars in the inclined tunnel. In line with the laws of modern architecture. Each cave has a huge square pool, half dug and half dug, with a depth of about 5 meters and an area of ??about 20 square meters. Each cave has a number of unique basic grotto designs. Although they are not built according to drawings, they do whatever they want and cry whatever they want, and they strictly adhere to the principles of architectural interest and aesthetic norms. Therefore, the size, depth and shape of these grottoes are different, but they have a sense of having the same structural and modeling purpose. All the grottoes are one and different from each other. The interconnecting partition walls are only 50 centimeters at their thinnest part, which is astonishing. The surface of the cave roof, cave walls and stone pillars are all chiselled with fine diagonal patterns. Each diagonal stripe is about half a meter long and spaced 3 to 4 centimeters apart. There is no difference. The connection between one group and another is slightly raised, wavy, and curved downward. Looking at the four compartments, one can vaguely feel the layers of white waves, which is very spectacular. Taoist lines are slightly curved and full. They look natural and error-free. Mysterious pictures of horses, birds and fish were found carved on the stone walls of the first cave, while lightning bolts several meters long were found in other caves. Except for a headless stone Buddha, no other artifacts have been found in the seven caves that have been excavated. After analysis, the birds on the rock paintings are common animals. Judging by its beak and eyes, Archaeopteryx, which lived in the Jurassic, appears to be introducing singing or history. The horse is in no danger and is running. The horse's head is very high, the horse's tail lifts up its four hooves and flies into the air, while the fish has only one head. 5. The mouth is much larger than ordinary fish, and the eyes are on the head, just like the turtle in ancient legends. It is opening its mouth and oiling the water. The spray vaguely shows the age of the fish, indicating that hunting, fishing and breeding industries were already in place. Based on the analysis of the bird shape in the pattern, it is believed to be a work of the Liangzhu culture, but China is a country rich in rock paintings. The creation of rock paintings can be traced back to 6,000 to 30,000 years ago, which provides a larger temporal and spatial background for us to speculate on the creation age of this silver flower and the construction age of the grotto.
If the rock paintings of horses, birds, and fish can provide people with archaeological dates, then the lightning-like words in the caves may be the golden keys left by foreign civilizations to open this maze. The lightning text is located on the south side of the stone wall and is relatively large, accounting for almost half of the entire stone wall. If I hadn't looked carefully, I'd have thought it was a natural crack in the stone wall. There are 36 huge artificial grottoes on Mount Huangshan. Some are scattered and some are disconnected. They rise and fall on Phoenix Mountain. So many residents. How were these huge grottoes excavated? What tools were used? What is the purpose of spending huge sums of money to mine, who is the totem of worship, and what is the real meaning? Many problems in Longyou Grottoes are puzzling, adding many unsolvable mysteries and endless temptations to the beautiful Phoenix Mountain.
