Detailed introduction of Zhinv Cave

"Yishui County Records" said: "One hundred and thirty miles northwest of the county, Yishui passes through its northeast cliff, and there is a Weaver Cave, which is steep and dangerous. I dare not look down and turn to a waterfall in the northwest, like Youlong. " The Weaver Girl Cave was built on this precipice more than 40 meters away. The entrance of the cave is a two-story pavilion-style ancient building with blue bricks and gray tiles and green windows on the door. It is exquisite and exquisite, and the word "Weaver Girl Cave" is engraved on the lintel. Looking from a distance, it looks like a castle in the air, misty and misty, with an antique charm. The surrounding rock of Zhinv Cave is CAMBRIAN sandy limestone with intact ancient gneiss under it. The cave was formed by dissolution, with a height of about 8m, a width of 7m and a depth of 10m. There is a hole in the cave, which is connected to the left and right. There is a small hole in the northwest, and there is a stone drum in the hole, which is loud and deep in rhyme. On the left, there is a dresser and bedroom made by Shi Zhuan, and there is a colorful statue of the Queen Mother and the Weaver Girl. There is a round window in front of the cave wall, and the weaver girl sits in the window, which is full of affection and faces the Niulang Temple across the river. There are also several stone tablets from the Song and Qing Dynasties preserved in the cave, and the surface of the stone tablets is back to the tide, which can accurately predict the rain in three days.

1. The love culture and human resources represented by the Cowherd Temple in the Weaver Maid Cave are the only ancient architectural sites in China with the theme of the love legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid. Second, the ancient architectural resources of Taoist temples, represented by Shen Qing Palace, are rich in Taoist culture. Shen Qing Palace was built in the Song Dynasty and covers an area of 4,200 square meters. There is a thousand-year-old red pine in the hospital, with many stone tablets, quiet and elegant. The third is the natural ecological resources represented by Daxian Mountain, Qing Niu Shan and Baima River. Daxian is 252 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 4.5 square kilometers. There are Yingxian Temple and Laozi Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and there is the only "Ginkgo biloba" in China. More than 65,438+00 kilometers of Baima River connects Shen Qing Palace, Black Tiger Spring and Zhinv Cave. Niu Shan is 695 meters above sea level and covers an area of 2 square kilometers. There are grandma temple, Sanguan temple, Nantianmen and other ancient buildings.

Outside the cave, there is a poem inscribed by Wang Songting, a native of this city in the 20th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 15), and a poem entitled "Climbing Weaver Girl" inscribed by a layman in Yunxi. The poem reads: "If you go to the Xianguan Pass in Yangao, you will stay in the cave. As if the Milky Way descended from the sky, the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid loomed over the world. Even if you know there is a loom inside, you will be idle when you cross the bridge. I want a ride, who will take the lead, and the guest star will listen to the flowing water. Looking at the pagoda on the Sun Ping Tower, the dangerous threshold is flat and the scenery is quiet. The mountain road turns with the forest foothills in the south, and the east of the Yi River turns to the ancient and modern flows. Spring creek sounds clear and suspicious of rain, and pine and cypress are cold in summer and autumn. But it's not that interesting here. Why ask Penny? " On the natural cliff on the south side of Zhinv Cave, there are four Chinese characters "Zhong Ling Yu Xiu" written in the 21st year of Guangxu, which are about 4m high and about 1m wide. The font is vigorous and concise. It is necessary to use the "Weaver Girl Round Window" and "Weaver Girl Mirror" to watch the sunrise and introduce the rising sunlight into the cave through the reflection principle.

The Weaving Girl Cave is the only ancient building site in China with the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaving Girl as the theme, which has monopoly among similar resources in China. The Yi River at the foot of the mountain is like the Tianhe River, and the Niulang Temple on the east bank of the Yi River faces the Zhinv Cave across the river. This temple was built in the seventh year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (1579). It is a two-story pavilion-style building with blue bricks and tiles and painted arches, which is quiet and unique. There are statues of cowherd and their children in the temple, and there is a statue of Taurus next to it. Now it has been destroyed into ruins, leaving only 10. Zhinv Cave and Niulang Temple are the most influential ancient folk architectural sites in China, so they are called "the source of love culture in China" by experts. It chose the natural landscape environment with high in the west and low in the east, and the Yi River runs through it to separate the two. In the form of building a temple, two pairs of landscapes are formed, with the cultural connotation of the legend of Cowherd and Weaver Girl, which is breathtaking, unique and wonderful, and can be called the wonders of the world. There are two ancient ginkgo trees in the south of Zhinv Cave, which are tall and straight, flourishing and fruitful. One of the trees is 16m in height, 3.35m in bust and 196m2 in crown. What is particularly surprising is that 20% of fruits are on leaves, which is extremely rare. It's called Ginkgo, and it's the only one in China. Some experts think this is an atavism.

On Daxian Mountain, Yanyan Township, Yiyuan County, there is a real relic of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, which was built in the Song Dynasty. According to legend, someone passed by here and heard the faint shuttle sound in the cave. It was amazing, and then a statue of Weaver Girl was enshrined in the cave. In the village across the river from the Weaver Cave, there has been a Cowherd Temple since the Ming Dynasty, which complements the Weaver Cave on the cliff and echoes from afar. It is said that this kind of scenery is unique in China, so it is called "the unique scenery in China's tourism resources" by the news media. 1997 was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit in Zibo and a stone tablet of Yiyuan County People's Government.

Yanya area belonged to Yishui County before the establishment of Yiyuan County in 1944. The old "Yishui County Records" records: "The county is 130 miles northwest, Yishui passes through its northeast cliff, and there is a Weaver Cave, which winds three or four miles from the top to the foot of Cooper Sen Lie. Formerly known as Phoenix Mountain. There is a Weaver Girl Cave in the mountains, and the water in Linyi is too high and dangerous to ignore. Turning north, a waterfall flies, like Youlong. " The beauty of the Weaver Girl Cave is vividly on the paper.

From Yiyuan County to the south, more than 65,438+00 kilometers, it reaches the northern foot of Daxian, which is covered with green vegetation. But there are huge rocks, cliffs and pine and cypress hanging upside down, which is a beautiful scenery. After walking along the mountain road for a while, there is a small gate on the right side of the cliff, which is the courtyard gate of Zhinv Cave. On the lime wall of the gatehouse, there is the seven-character quatrain "Autumn Night" written by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, which guides tourists into just visiting where history and myth are intertwined:

In the autumn night, candlelight reflected the screen, and Fan slapped the fireflies with his hand.

The night in Tianjie is as cold as water. Sit and watch the morning glory and Vega.

Walking into the gate of the Weaver Girl Cave, looking up, there is a volley front face embedded in the gap on the left cliff, and the next place is the Weaver Girl Cave. Inside the Weaver Girl Cave is a two-story pavilion with green windows, blue bricks and gray tiles. The cave is 8m high, 7m wide and about10m long. There are several historical sites in the cave, which can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. The painted sculptures of the Weaver Girl and the Queen Mother sit on the second floor, and on the left is the dresser and bedroom of the Weaver Girl. On the second floor of the pavilion, there is a window at the bottom of the upper ring, so that the affectionate Weaver Girl can sit by the window and face the Cowherd across the river.

According to historical records, the Niulang Temple was built in the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1579) and rebuilt in the twentieth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (AD 18 15). Niulang Temple is also a two-story attic building, with blue bricks and painted archways. There are statues of cowherd and their children in the temple, next to a lying Taurus. In the courtyard, the cypresses are towering, quiet and chic. Now the Niulang Temple has collapsed, leaving only the remains. A small village with a population of 500 to 600 where the Niulang Temple is located is called "Niulangguan Village". These two buildings, on the cliff and under the mountain, between Yingying and Yishui, have interpreted the touching story of the bank of China in the distant starry sky, showing the unique ingenuity of our ancestors. "There is a Milky Way in the sky and an Yi River on the ground" is a natural coincidence, which adds more magical colors to the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

The natural scenery and human landscape around Daxian have long enjoyed a good reputation. Many literati in the past dynasties came here and left many poems for people to imitate. On the natural cliff in the south of Zhinv Cave, four simple, elegant, vigorous and deliberately profound Chinese characters written by Bai Xiyuan in Yishui County in the 21st year of Guangxu (AD 1895) are engraved, with a height of 4m and a width of 1 m.. On one side of the cave stands a poem tablet entitled "Climbing Weaver Girl" written by Wang Songting, a native of Yishui, in the 20th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 18 15). Its poem says:

Climb the stone bench to Xianguan, and the hole is like a row.

As if the Milky Way descended from the sky, the Cowherd and the Weaver Maid loomed over the world.

Even if you know there is an opportunity here, you can't believe that you will be idle after crossing the bridge.

I want a ride, who will take the lead, and the guest star will listen to the flowing water.

Looking at the pagoda on the Sun Ping Tower, the dangerous threshold is flat and the scenery is quiet.

The mountain road turns with the forest foothills in the south, and the east of the Yi River turns to the ancient and modern flows.

Spring creek sounds clear and suspicious of rain, and pine and cypress are cold in summer and autumn.

But I have no fun here. Why ask penny?

The poem tablet is written by Meng in Yunxi, and its handwriting is smooth and elegant, which adds a lot of color to elegant and fresh poems.

Judging from the existing relics, Daxian was once a resort of ancient Taoism in China. Tourists walk about 200 meters up the mountain road from the Weaver Girl Cave to the ruins of Yingxian Temple built in the Tang Dynasty. Originally, the Laozi Temple was built here, and the main hall was Laojun Pavilion and Sanqing Hall, and everything had its own wing. The east wing is Yilan Academy, and the west wing is a kitchen club. There are Songzi guanyin temple, Tian Sunquan, Wang Yao Temple, Monk King Temple and Wang Guan Temple near Yingxian Temple, among which Tian Sundian should be another Dojo of Zhinv. There is a clear spring on the slope of Nanshan, which is sweet and named Tian Sunquan, also named after the Weaver Girl. The Monk King Temple was built by the Qing rulers to suppress the executioners of the peasant uprising, and was later killed by the rebels. On the Yingxianguan site next to Tian Sunquan, there is a tall and straight ancient ginkgo tree, which is said to be thousands of years old. It has flourished and produced countless fruits every year. What is particularly surprising is that about 20% of the fruit of this ginkgo tree comes from the top edge of fan-shaped leaves, which is unparalleled in the world and is called "Ginkgo biloba".

The Weaver Cave and the concept of welcoming immortals, which were founded in the Song Dynasty, were rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and finally renovated in the second year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 13). From the dense ruins of Taoist buildings, we can imagine the grand occasion of incense in those days.

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, there was the First Ordnance Factory of Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army in Yingxian County, among which there was a woodworking workshop in Wanglingguan, specializing in the production of gun butts, Grenade handles and ammunition boxes. At the turn of the century, the spare parts of grenades and mortars left over from that year were found here and have been carefully sealed up. 1June, 939, the arsenal was discovered by the Japanese invaders, and all the buildings of Yingxian Temple were reduced to ruins. Taoist Wang and Liu Mingren were called "patriotic Taoist priests" for their instruments buried in Yingxian Temple to protect the arsenal, and they died under the bayonet of the Japanese army. According to Ming Dou, a Taoist priest in Daxian Mountain today, a crystal stone embedded in the stone wall of Zhinv Cave was also lost in that disaster. It is said that it was dug up by the Japanese army and is now hidden in a museum in Japan.

During the Cultural Revolution, the cultural relics of Daxianshan suffered another catastrophe. The famous poem "Climbing the Weaver Girl" was broken into three sections, and it was not restored until the mid-1980s. Most of the ancient buildings on the mountain are just ruins, but the mountains are not diminished. In recent years, buildings such as the attic of Zhinv Cave, Jade Emperor Temple and Wang Yao Temple have been rebuilt or renovated. The scenic spot of Zhinv Cave in Daxianshan, a paradise, is quietly opening a window for the world to understand and develop Yiyuan.
