Eight Scenes Outside Peach Blossom Garden in Jingchu, Huang Huang due to the trip to Peach Blossom Garden in Xiangxi.

The ancients visited the Peach Blossom Garden by water, from Taoyuan County to Shui Yuan. 30 miles along the way, beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery. Its outstanding figures are summarized into eight scenic spots outside the Peach Blossom Garden in turn, just like Fang Wandu. These eight scenes can be found except Taochuan Xianyin.

Tong wan Fang du

Tongfang, namely Tongfangzhou, is located next to Dongyanxikou, Taoyuan County. The continent is very small, like a boat looming in the blue waves of Yuanjiang River. Every time the sun sets, the small continent under the sun is golden and dazzling, as if Manchuria is the gold of Huang Chengcheng. At this time, beside the boat, you can still hear bursts of laughter. From the point of view of modern science, the brilliance of gold is a dazzling mixture of the reflected light of sunset on the opposite cliff and the refracted light on the water surface; The sound is the soft sound of Yuanjiang Bibo touching the mainland shore.

However, people say it has a strange origin. Once, the rich man in Huangsha Village accidentally got a peach from Taohuayuan and put it in a basket to ferry it from Tongfang. It's already evening, and he wants to eat. As soon as the peaches turned in the basket, a table of food appeared. He wanted to sleep, and the peach turned out of another bed. He wants gold when he is full and lying down. Peaches kept spinning on the boat, giggling. In its laughter, the gold on the boat piled up more and more, and finally the rich man sank into the river with the boat. So there was a magnificent continent in the sunset and bursts of laughter. Because this island looks like a ferry, it is named Tongfangzhou.

Zhangjiang jathyapple

Zhangjiang, or Tongjiang Pavilion, is at the confluence of Zhangjiang and Yuanjiang. When this pavilion was built is unknown. It was rebuilt many times in Qing Dynasty, and was demolished in 1968 due to termite damage. It is said that there was a wonderful sight here in those days: whether it was the first day or the fifteenth day, there was moonlight at the bottom of the river, rising from the moon to the setting of the moon. No matter where the bright moon is in the sky, the moon in the river is always tightly embedded in the reflection of the cabinet window, like a pair of lovers who cling to each other. Therefore, Luo Tian, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, has a pure poem: "A clear wave can clean up thousands of hectares of dust, and you can catch it back by singing a fishing boat at night. Su Bo and Mo Chou are all in the sky, and the lightness comes from the water. "

Folklore is such a spectacle designed by Lu Ban. According to legend, when the museum was built, Lu Ban came to cut the needle tongue for the master in charge of ink, and he disappeared quietly on the day of its establishment. When the last floor of Zhangjiang Pavilion was completed, all the formed wood had been used up except one wooden bolt. Master Zhang Mo asked the adults to look everywhere, and finally found that the tenon and horizontal purlin on Linjiang stigma forgot to pull out the pin and bolt. Master Zhang Mo sat in a hanging basket hanging in the air and locked his eyes with an injection. The river surged and the bamboo baskets shook until it was dark. I was about to open the lantern when I suddenly saw a star fall from the sky and turn into a round lantern hanging on the window. Master Zhang Mo didn't sleep a wink for seven days and nights, and people couldn't put down the bamboo basket until the bolt was inserted. After landing, I saw that the lantern was still on the window of the cabinet, but I was afraid to go up and get it again. As a result, the lantern became a jathyapple reflected in the river, snuggling with the window shadow every night. In fact, according to Wu's Peach Blossom Garden, this wonder is the crystallization of the wisdom of the builders of Zhangjiang Pavilion. It is hexagonal and surrounded by water on three sides. Therefore, wherever jathyapple goes, there is always a window to keep the shadow of the moon in the water. Its orientation is actually different, but because Pavilion 3 faces the water, it gives people the illusion that taking pictures seems to be on the same side forever.

Xunyang ancient temple

Xunyang Ancient Temple is located in Xunyangping, south of Yuanshui River on the other side of Taoyuan County. Some people speculate that the naming of Xunyang is probably related to the commemoration of Tao Yuanming, a Chai Sang man in Xunyang. This ancient temple is a group of buildings with three halls and adjacent rooms. There is no test date for its construction. From Gao Shi's poem Xunyang Ancient Temple has been deserted for a long time in the Song Dynasty, we can know that before the Song Dynasty, it was deserted for a long time. However, its desolation gives people a special taste. "Taoyuan County Records" says: "The temple has been abandoned for a long time, and the bells are still heard at dusk." Ming Xun said, "The deer moved again and rose and fell alone for many years. Vertical and horizontal iron horse and golden pavilion stone, do not change the sound of crane yard. " In Song Dynasty, Gao Shi lamented the desolation of the sunset, but also felt that "a Buddha lamp has not been extinguished." Therefore, the ancient temple has become a famous landscape outside the Peach Blossom Garden.

During the Qianlong period, the ancient temple was rebuilt and the incense was once at its peak. According to "Taoyuan County Records", there was a wonder in the temple at that time: "There is a well in the temple, and there is a sword of Longquan in the well. It often rises at night like a star and the moon, and it is forced into the sky. " 1974 Demolition of the temple. Now there is only one column of couplets for people to trace the meaning of the past: "the lamp falls into the sky, and the glass shines;" The bell is very long. "

A clear picture of dill

The snail-dripping love picture is a wonderful flower on the snail-dripping peak in Yuanjiang. On the steep black peak wall, you can see the peach blossom source of white lines, pavilions and ancient caves of Taozhu. The picture is made up of white lines, with neither nicks nor ink sketches. What is even more surprising is that there seems to be a clear color here on a drizzling day. If you bathe in the sun, the picture will be more vivid. Therefore, it is called Dill Painting.

"Taoyuan County Records" says: This landscape is due to Rorty's "steep rock cutting, picturesque scenery, rainy and often sunny". According to folklore, there is a Rorty village under the ancient Rorty Peak. In the village, a kind woodcutter is often abused by his wife. A monk deliberately led him out of his misery and one day asked him to draw a picture of the Peach Blossom Garden on the wall. As soon as the cave door was painted, the stone door opened wide. The monk and the woodcutter jumped into the cave, and the woodcutter's wife was locked out because she couldn't receive money and rice at home. She took off her skirt in anger and tried to erase the picture on the blackboard. Unexpectedly, when the white light flashed, the picture was printed on the skirt. She was even more angry and took the skirt to the river to wash it. A river has been washed green, but the painting still won't wash off. She was so angry that she simply threw the Luo skirt on the rock wall of Diluofeng by the river. I saw a flash of white light, and as soon as the skirt touched the peak wall, the picture was clearly printed on the peak wall.

Chushan Xiao Chun

Chushan is close to the Peach Blossom Garden. Whenever Wanshan has not awakened in late winter and early spring, it is already full of spring. So people call it "Chushan Xiao Chun".

Why do all the flowers and trees in Chushan start to grow when the trees are dying? Here is a story: every year in early spring, the beautiful spring valley comes to Taohua Village to report the information of spring. Here she comes, the snow melts and the flowers bloom. But this year, Chungu was shut up in a remote cave because she refused the proposal of Prince Frostworm. For a long time in the spring, Taohua Village was still a frozen world. There is a junior brother in the village who is determined to take back the Spring Valley. He went through all kinds of hardships to the cave of the frost demon prince, drunk the prince with wine and saved the spring valley. He flew all the way with Spring Valley on his back, and he was exhausted when he first arrived at Taohua Village. People sadly built a high earth grave for him and named it Chushan. Since then, Chungu has always been the first to visit Brother Chu here every year and cried for many days, so the first spring sprouted here.

Meixi misty rain

Meixi, 2 kilometers south of Chushan, has a slow flow and leads to Shui Yuan. Whenever the misty rain falls, everything here seems to be covered with a hazy veil, neither foggy nor smoky, as if Bai Mei is in full bloom and full of fragrance. ...

Why are there plum blossoms in the clouds? There is also a local legend: a Peng near Taohuayuan saved a pregnant sika deer while hunting. The sika deer gave birth to a blood cell, turned it into a plum tree and gave it to Peng. Peng planted plum trees in front of his house, and dug a stream specially to take water from Yuanjiang to water it. Plum trees will soon blossom. Strangely, people can get rid of the fatigue of the day by looking at this tree; Smell the plum blossom, and the pain will go away. When Grandpa Taoyuan heard about this, he led the chief to ask for a tree. On this day, it was foggy and raining, but after the tree was dug up, it floated and melted in the rain clouds above. Since then, whenever it rains, plum blossoms loom by the stream and Leng Xiang falls. In memory of Peng, people call this stream Meixi and this landscape "Meixi misty rain".

moon's orbit/path

The landscape of Baima Xue Tao is at Baima Ferry in Yuanjiang, opposite to Taohuayuan. The water is rushing here, the waves are rolling, and it seems that a white horse with a mane is flying in the sparkling snow …

According to folklore, this fine horse was the mount of Song Liang, the satrap of Wuling in the late Tang Dynasty. "Taoyuan County Records" contains: "Song Liang, a native of Nanping County, Zhou Xun, Guangxi, was the champion of the later Tang Dynasty and the prefect of Wuling. Play a role in reducing county taxes. When my mother was ill, she was raised, and people in the county chased her, crossed her and stayed in Baima. Because of the name, she will consider it. " Legend has it that Song Liang loves people as parents, so when he learned that his mother resigned and went home, people shed tears. He was so worried that he didn't see the ferry on the bridge, but he saw all the people rushing in. Tears welled up in his face, he waved his thanks to the people and rode away. On the other side, I heard the cries of the people, but I still heard them, so I left the white horse as a gift. The white horse turned and walked back. When crossing the Yuanjiang River again, he ran too hard and sank to the bottom of the river. Since then, there has been a spectacle of white horses stepping on snow waves. So people carved the words "move the horse to cut the road" on the dead stone by the river, and called this bridge where Song Liang stood homesick and cried "move the horse to cut the road".
