According to the Records of Three Mountains, in the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty (96 1), a monk built a square rock courtyard in the cave, which was wide and square, so it was named after the tenth category of Buddhist scriptures, which had profound implications, and was also called square rock and square cave. There are ancient stone steps in the cave, and the vertical stone is engraved with "Song Xichun Bingwu (1 186)". Hermit Huang chose ten beautiful places in the cave and wrote a poem, which made Fang Guangyan famous all over the world and became a famous tourist attraction in Fuzhou in the Song Dynasty. Huang Xiong Fei, a scholar in the second year of Jiatai (1202), was awarded an official position and a military symbol. He has been in office for less than two years and has no intention of career. He quit his job and lived in Mishima Village under Fangguangyan on the bank of Dazhangxi. He preached and taught, and often went to Fang Guangyan in his spare time, during which he died.
Later, with the flood, a huge Cinnamomum camphora drifted to Shibi Creek in Geling and stopped, and it could not drift for a long time. Some strangers carved it into a guest statue of Lu Zun (Lohan Khufu) and offered it in caves. When the seedlings withered, the county magistrate often went to Fangguangyan to beg for rain, and then brought the wooden statue back to the city to offer sacrifices and pray.
Zhang Shinan (living around 1225) recorded this important event in Volume IV of Travels, which described Fang's high risk and preciseness: "Today, county officials will bow to meet the rain and should be like a ring. Like a white eyebrow and a dragon bell, it seems vivid. Every time I go to a city, people will worship and cherish it ... Since the statue was made, incense has become more and more prosperous, and exchanges are mutually beneficial. There is a three-story pavilion in the room (square) without half a tile. Although storms can't be made. The house can be five miles away from the flat, during which the beam is dangerous and the mountain road is steep, making it difficult for tourists to climb. At the top of the mountain, the peak turns around and suddenly the scenery is different. The cave is flying, and the hall is ethereal, which makes people forget. "
Zhenchao monk, a native of Shexian County, is quite famous in the Fangyuan Rock Institute in Zhongxing. He went out to look for his father when he was sixteen, but he never met him. Later, he converted to Xiaotian Zen Master in Tozenji, Jiaxing, where he was ordained, traveled around the world and visited Zunsu. After entering Fujian, I visited Fang, but I saw the decline of temples and the depression of the Vatican. I was very sad and decided to rebuild through fundraising. Since I entered the party, I have been shouldering a heavy burden and bowing to my knees. Meditate at night without touching the ribs. At that time, many literati and celebrities in Fuzhou United and carefully built it, and it was completely new.
Tian Quan Pavilion written by Chen Ming and He Ming states: "In the eighth year of Wanli (1590), a monk from Zhenchaoshan came to visit him to express his thoughts and enjoy his seclusion, so he wanted to hang a gourd ladle and sit on the floor. Wei Junxi's works (Lin, son of Lin Chunze, Yu Nanyu). He gave up the money first and spent a lot of time on sandalwood, so he rebuilt the floor at the old site. In the middle of the abbot, next to the meditation room, the raft is not decorated, the raft is not embroidered, the raft is the foundation, and the rock is the roof tile. It started at the age of Geng Yin (1590) and was completed at the age of Xin Mao (159 1). Fang Bolin's Jundao Bridge (Lin Ruchu, grandson of Lin Chunze in the southern language) is titled' Tian Quan Pavilion', which hangs from the spring and shines on the eaves, hanging outside the sill, and the pavilion wins with the spring, hence the name. " Tianquan Pavilion as a whole is based on the cliff-flying structure, and dozens of erect trees are propped up outside the bare rocks, which is amazing.
After the reconstruction of Fangguang Rock Courtyard, monks in Zhenchao actively developed surrounding scenic spots. Chen (the son of an observer in Taiwan Province Island) and his nephew Chen E developed Hanghanyan at a distance of 1 km from Fangguangyan in the thirty-third year of Wanli (1605) under the guidance of the monks of Zhenchao. Diaohanyan is today's Luohanyan. The ancient cave looks like a bergamot, with a stone waterfall next to it, and the environment is elegant. In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli (1609), Maruyama was developed again, and Maruyama was dozens of meters below Fangguangyan. After falling into a deep pool, the square water curtain flows through a short and secluded stream and falls from a cliff nearly 100 meters high, forming a magnificent and unusual Maruyan, which is today's Jiutan Waterfall. Jiutan Waterfall is as high as 100 meters, and the cliff shape is magical and unpredictable. If the relics of immortals are superimposed, it is divided into two waterfalls. The flowing water of the upper waterfall cuts deeply into the cliff wall, leaving deep tubular stone troughs, such as the cave flute in Han Xiangzi; In the lower waterfall, the upper stone trough is as big as a stone pot, similar to Zhang's wine gourd, and the lower stone trough is slightly reduced, like a blue Cai He flower basket. Chen Zeng ordered his servants to chop hazelnuts, cut a stone plank road on the steep cliff and enter the "wine gourd" from the left wall. Chen said: "When I entered the cave, I thought that the sky was still a pill, so I named it Maruyan." The Republic of China edition of "Yongtai County Records" contains: "Maruko looks like half a clock and half an egg shell, which can be more than 20 feet high. The spring hangs on its top, and the rock seat is like a bowl to bear it. It comes down from the bowl, and then the bear pool. It will not overflow or dry up. " Later, Chen built a three-story pavilion next to Maluyan to enjoy the scenery. Gu Song Road leading to Fangguangyan is another wonder of Fangguangyan and the best-preserved Gu Song Road in Fuzhou. Looking up from the ancient post road of Fangguangkeng at the foot of the mountain (the ancient road from Yongtai to Fuzhou, now paved with cement road), the pines dance among the peaks, winding up along the mountain road and reaching Fangguangyan, such as Qinglong flying into Fangguangdong. There is a poem in the mountain that praises: "The temple takes pine as its path and the sky takes stone as its door." The fog in the deep gorge is scattered, one mountain falls and one valley, and the sunrise is full of Sichuan rainbow. There is a beautiful white snake legend circulating here. Chapter 353 of Du Min's Notes reads: "In the northwest of Fangyuan Rock in Yongfu (formerly known as Yongtai), there is a big mountain with a white snake on it. I don't know how many years of practice, can become a person, often disappear, never special. I only talk to Shandu and Muke day and night (all mountains are mountains, and Muke is the essence of wood). Since he was named Miao Yinxian, he knew how to read books and know gifts ... "Snake Fairy felt the lingering sincerity of human love, so she chose her husband, opened a hotel under Fang, and married and had children with Fuqing Ye's nephew Julia. The eldest son was named Shilang, and the second son was named Kuilang (Stone is the homonym of "snake", and "Kui" snake fairy punishes evil and promotes good, and its story is beautiful and touching, which is praised by the world. It was compiled as a performance of the Fujian drama "Snake Niang Love the World", and now there is a place name "Hotel" next to Fangguang Campus (Puguangming Temple). There is indeed a mountain in the northwest of Fangguangyan. There is a deep canyon hidden in the mountain, which is often covered by clouds. It is called Longcun Canyon (Longmen Canyon), and it is said that Miao Yinxian lived in seclusion. There is a relic of the "Jiuquan Waterfall" brewed by Miao Yinxian. It is a giant waterfall trough with a big top and a small bottom, which is no different from leaking wine. The flowing water at the bottom of the trough is dyed wine red. It is reported that Miao Yinxian turned into a human figure and threw out Miao Yan, the owner of the tea and fruit stand, and his wife as adopted daughters. When they wanted to open a hotel, they saw that their parents were poor and had no money, so they said, "I can make my own wine without rice, just flowers and clear water." So I learned from Longmen Springs, picked flowers and fruits in canyons, and made ten-mile wine in spring waterfalls.
The water in Longcun Gorge flows from northeast to southwest, and erodes into three deep pools like beads outside the mouth of the gorge, which are as smooth as Longjing, and are called "Three Cave Waterfalls". In the upper reaches of the stream, the high gorge narrows and gradually becomes a valley full of vitality. I saw banana vines blooming around the flowers and dragonflies flying in golden pheasants. The peaks and peaks at the top of the valley are protruding, and the rocks are connected, like a honeycomb hanging on the wall, such as entering the depths of a gallery. The sound of water faintly came, and the end of the valley was actually the most beautiful and spectacular waterfall group in Fujian. Several silver waterfalls fell from the sky, surrounded by deep valleys, and the sound of water roared, and the water mist came against my face, and the rainbow flew to the bottom of the valley, which was fascinating. A confused tourist suddenly became curious when faced with hundreds of meters of water curtain pouring down at the same height. Unfortunately, there is no way to climb the high cliff, so they can only return to Gukou and bypass the top of the mountain along Panshan Highway to find the source of the waterfall. The canyon outside the mountain road is unfathomable, with lush trees, steep peaks and cliffs opposite, and exposed rocks, forming lava and pyroclastic rocks of different geological ages, with different forms and dazzling.
At the entrance of Longcun Village, surrounded by mountains, ancient trees are towering. Several streams flowing from all directions are adjacent to each other and fall into the valley from three sides. Because the bottom of the stream is located on the hard columnar jointed rock, they form a spectacular waterfall group with the same height.
Longcun is located in the intermountain basin in the upper reaches of Longmen Gorge. It is antique and full of ancient charm. Surrounded by mountains, named after dragons, tigers, lions and dogs respectively, it is a model of site selection and construction of ancient villages in China. The villagers followed the geomantic layout of ancient villages, built dams at Shuikou to store water, and carefully cultivated geomantic forests, so that today's primitive broad-leaved forests were everywhere in the village, giving tourists the surprise of "heavy mountains and heavy waters, no road to doubt, and a village with a bright future". I walked into the mountain village for the first time, which is one of the most beautiful mountain villages in Yongtai today. On the upper reaches of Longcun is the scenic Longqidong Canyon, which contains numerous pools and waterfalls. Since ancient times, there has been a legend about treasure in Longcun. People named this waterfall pool "Cave". It is said that predecessors have hidden countless treasures of gold and silver in many pools in front of and behind the village, leaving the secret "who can find them before and after the seven holes, and children and grandchildren will not do them until they are old". Longcun is a small mountain village with less than 100 households, but it has more than 10 surnames, which violates the habit of living in groups with single surnames in farming times and is considered as the secret seclusion of an organization with treasures. The theory of hidden treasure has cast a mysterious veil on Longcun, which has fascinated countless future generations and made them explore hard here.
Historically, from Fuzhou to Yongtai, you can take the waterway of Dazhangxi. Due to the tidal influence of Minjiang River, the lower reaches of Dazhangxi River can reach Geling Laixia Ferry. Not far from the upper reaches of Laixia Ferry is the famous Chibi Lake. The strange stone walls in Chibi stand tall, and the purple columnar joints formed by the condensation of volcanic lava are row upon row near the stream, and the color is like Danxia in the sun. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Yin of Yongfu County wrote "Red Cliff" on the stone wall, which is still full of vitality. Wang Yongwen, also known as William Wang, is a friend of Shishan and a Lingwu native of Xixia. He worked as Yin in Yongfu County during Zheng (1364) and Yisi (1365), praised Geling Shanchuan with "iron wall" and "Fei Pei", and later became the general manager of Chaodao. After Yuan's death, he lived in seclusion in Yongtai, between mountains and rivers. Wu Hai, a native of Min County, recorded in the Biography of Friends of Rocky Mountain: "Shuang is a sacred landscape. At four o'clock, I was dizzy, regardless of the cold and heat, dragging my staff into the deep valley of the secluded forest, climbing the cliff and watching the running water. Every time I meet a stone, I sit down and be aggressive. I will agree to talk to myself, sing around, or take off my clothes and lie down. When I go back, I can't bear to leave. Although it is normal to encounter a hundred stones every day. " There are also cliff carvings by Wang Gang, the magistrate of Yongfu County in Qing Dynasty, and Ba Li, the magistrate of Fuzhou in Qing Dynasty. Wang Gang, a native of Sanyuan, Shaanxi Province, is respected by local elders for rebuilding Yongfu County. Ba Li, Sichuan Qianwei, attached great importance to culture and made great achievements. As can be seen from his "A Brief Introduction to the Travel Department", on December 17th, Gan Long Xinsi Year (176 1), he returned from Minqing and stayed in Tang Hong for one night. The next day, he took a boat from Minjiang River to Laixia. Because of the shallow beach, he visited Yongtai County School and the newly-built city wall on 19, and was amazed. At dusk, I boarded the ship and still returned to Sese. The next day, I came back from Tang Hong. During his trip to Yongtai, Ba Li praised the scenery of Geling, left an inscription on the Red Cliff, visited Fang Guangyan in Geling, and wrote a poem "Fang Guangyan (Yongfu Mishima Village)": "Thousands of peaks are like embroideries, and return to visit the secluded rock. The cliff is shrouded in clouds, and the waterfall springs spray snowflakes. Lan Shen stone chamber sealed Dan furnace, and the tree covered the monk's room with moss. After all, there are many famous mountains and scenic spots, and Zhiteng sees more Sendai. "
There is a clear stream opposite Chibi, which flows into Dazhangxi and goes upstream. It is the red cliff scenic spot in Geling. Douhu Mountain is the main peak of Chibi Scenic Area, with an altitude of 987 meters. Douhu Tianchi, formed by an extinct volcano, is the largest Tianchi in East China. During the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shirong, a resident, reclaimed sloping land by the lake as farmland. When the rice is cooked, he has to cook for the deer. The mountains are high and the wind is fierce. In the 31st year of Wanli (1603), Yongfu County ordered Xu Jiayan to donate money to buy Douhu Mountain, which was presented to Fangguang Rock Academy and recorded on the tablet. After Douhu Mountain was designated as Fangguang Rock Field, Zhenchao monk came here personally to open up a temple field. It is said that deer is far away, and the wind is not a disaster. Douhu Mountain is an alpine meadow, surrounded by a hundred acres of meadows, with beautiful scenery, white clouds reflected on the lake and cattle and sheep reflected on the grassland, which is refreshing. On a cliff as flat as a knife, nearly 100 meters high and wide, there is a waterfall hanging high in the mountains. The water roared and swooped down from the cliff, forming two waterfalls on the cliff, with flying flowers splashing jade and clouds lingering. Because the stone wall is purple, wonderfully covered with red moss, and the sun is like a red iron wall, it is named "Chibi Waterfall". Chibi Scenic Area is famous for its numerous peaks and columns. The lush cliffs are covered with giant stone columns, especially the Shizhu Peak at the top of the cliff. There are both independent stone columns and numerous stone columns pointing directly at the sky, which is spectacular and makes people admire the magic of nature. There are also Shilongji, Niubi Cave, Tianyuan Waterfall, Julian Waterfall and mysterious ancient terraces in Chibi Scenic Area, which makes people linger.
To the west of Chibi Scenic Area is Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area, which is famous for its huge stones forming Tianmen Cave and Tianmen Window. According to the Republic of China edition of Yongtai County Records, "Tianmen Cave is the eastern five capitals. Strange and strange, there are Fang Guang and Fang Hu. The trace of prosperity is gloomy, and there is no questioner. Looking around, the boulder stands like a door, with a lion squatting on it. Between the cliffs, two caves are round like wheels, not artificial. Every rabbit rises to the east, and the Confucius Cave can be distinguished by light. There are dozens of people in the cave, covered with rubble. " Today, Tianmen Cave has become a famous scenic spot in Geling. The most magical thing in Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area is Hulu Waterfall, which looks like a gourd lying on its side. Running water rotates in a huge stone pot in multiple stages, falls layer by layer, and finally gushes out from the mouth of the gourd, like pearls, also known as "gourd pouring pearls". Underground rivers are more exotic. The running water cuts deeply into the river bed, like a ray of skylight. On both sides of the river, huge stones stand side by side, covering the sky, and the cave walls are dripping with water and condensed into stone emulsion, which looks like "Guanyin" and is lifelike, showing the wonder of God's nature.
