Old Granary tourist attractions in Laoliangcang Town

Walking down the Chu River from Tanggong Temple in Laoliangcang Town, you enter the famous Lanshan Gorge. Shili Langshan Gorge is like Shili Gallery. Green hills stand tall on both sides of the Chu River, with green trees and white clouds. From time to time, there are a few farmhouses scattered on the mountainside, piled there like small snails; the sky at the top of the gorge is like the pure blue paint just squeezed out of the painting palette. The sky; overlooking the canyon, a line of smoke rises from the cracks in the mountain, the Luo-Zhan Railway passes through the mountain and drills a hole, a train is like a giant dragon facing the rising sun, covered with mist, rushing towards the distance; large and small cars wearing various colors of clothes, "Woo--Woo" shuttles along the provincial highway Ninglou Highway that runs along the river; the pine trees, fir trees, camphor trees, and catalpa trees on the mountains are so green that they seem to have rolled down from the sky and penetrated into the rocks. There are cracks in the stone caves, revealing the cool and cold green; there are also pine trees hanging upside down from the stone walls, like mountain eagles about to fly; groups of mist slowly rise in the canyon, and the shadows of trees and flowers are intertwined. Birdsong ebbs and flows.

The Sanniu Au on the left has even more unexpected peaks and towering rocks. The clear springs on the rocks are like blue-green silk brocade hanging upside down in the mountain stream, rushing down to form a cylindrical waterfall more than 20 meters high, with flying flowers and jade. It's spectacular. No wonder Qi Ji, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, left a poem here: "The rocks fell thousands of feet, and the distant sound floated in the cold sky; after the early rain in high autumn, there was chaos in the mountains in the middle of the night."

The stones on the bottom of the river are clearly visible, and the lines of rock patterns left by legends that gods used golden rakes to rake the river are clearly visible. Fish are walking and swimming at the bottom of the river, and the river water is whirling on the stones. Catch the waves, sing joyful songs, and flow deep into the white clouds.

It is said that there was no river here before, only a beach and mountain. The water in the old granary and Liusha River area could not flow out. Once it rained heavily, the old granary and Liusha River area would be a vast expanse of water, and houses would be washed away. , crops were flooded and people suffered. I don't know when, there was a kind-hearted young man who invited the people from the neighboring villages together and decided to make a river. However, they hoeed and hoeed, and the cold and summer came and the flowers bloomed and fell. Despite all the hard work, it is still difficult to see results. One day, the Eight-hole Immortal was patrolling here. He was deeply moved and determined to help. So they worked together that night, plowing with a golden plow, and the mountain gorge was plowed. Then they were raked with a golden rake, and the river bed was raked open. They watched the river that the mortals had been working on for many years without any results being destroyed. They drove it out without much effort. The immortals were so unhappy that they decided to rest for a while before working again. So they started playing chess on a large square stone by the river. As soon as the chess game started, the gods forgot about the time. When the golden rooster croaked, the eight-hole gods panicked, fearing that the secret would be revealed, so they hurriedly cleaned up. In the end, they didn't even have time to tidy up the river bed, so they pressed the golden plow and rake under the large stone and hurriedly died. Today, the stones in the river are the traces left by the Eight-hole Immortal who used the golden rake to rake the river.

The flat Ninglou Highway on the left bank of the mountain was originally a narrow path only two or three feet wide, but it is the link between Qingshan Bridge, Liusha River, the old granary and even Lianyuan and Loudi leading to Ningxiang, The only way to pass through Changsha is that my father and his companions spent several years opening up the mountain, lifting stones to widen, and rolling and rolling to form a sand and gravel road; then, the government organized the construction of asphalt roads and cement roads. . The canals and power stations on the right bank of the mountain were built by my father and the migrant workers who were transferred from the six communes in the old granary area. In 1980 and 1981, after two winters of living in the open air, fighting frost and snow, and cutting stones, made. The upstream of the canal is a river dam, and the downstream is a small hydropower station. It means to block the water source of Chu River, flow it into artificial channels, and use the natural gap to generate electricity and energy.

Feijiashan Gorge is connected by Haoming Bridge, Tanshan Bridge, and Luozhan Railway Viaduct...Connecting the mountain villages are cement roads, power supply network cables, and communication optical cables; fireworks, stones, fruits, and medicinal materials in the mountain villages, They are constantly being transported out of the mountains, onto cars, trains, and ships, across the ocean, and transported to distant places; refrigerators, computers, motorcycles, and fashions from outside the mountains are also constantly being transported into the mountains and into the homes of villagers.

In my memory, Lanshan Gorge is a famous poor ravine. "Stepping on the mountains at your feet, looking up at the mountains; there are many people in the fields, and the hillsides are covered with stones"; "Don't marry your adopted daughter into a mountain gorge, where you will be worried about coming and going", which is a true portrayal of this place in the past. Today, under the leadership of the party and the government, the days of poverty and backwardness here are gone forever!

Lanshan Gorge not only has beautiful scenery, beautiful legends, hard-working people, but also a glorious revolutionary tradition.

These high mountains, canyons, and villages were originally the main base areas for the activities of the Central Hunan People’s Anti-Japanese Working Committee and the Central Hunan People’s Guerrilla Force. The "Hunan Resistance Association" and the Central Hunan People's Guerrilla led by Li Shiquan, Jiang Yaxun and others propagandized against Japan, attacked the Japanese aggressors and the Kuomintang reactionaries in this area, and launched the famous Huangtang Uprising.

Yunshan School, located in a nest on the left side of the gorge, looks no different from other rural primary schools, but here a group of revolutionary pioneers once studied Marxism-Leninism and searched for the truth. In 1909, He Shuheng, the former first representative of the Communist Party of China, later known as the Ru Ziniu of the Soviet Union, used teaching as a cover to contact revolutionary comrades and explore the revolutionary truth; after the Revolution of 1911, there were also revolutionaries such as Xie Juezai, Jiang Mengzhou, and Wang Lingbo. In the name of teaching, our predecessors spread Marxism-Leninism, cultivated revolutionary youth, and explored revolutionary truth here; it was here that a large number of outstanding young people, such as Gan Siqi and Xiao Shufan, accepted Marxism-Leninism and embarked on the revolutionary journey.

Especially in the summer of 1917, 24-year-old Mao Zedong and his classmate Xiao Zisheng came here from the provincial capital to study and met Xie Juezai. The hands of the two passionate young people were tightly held together. They discussed friendship and talked freely. ideal and explore the truth of saving the country and the people.

Walking through Lanshan Gorge, standing at Tanshanpu, looking back at the past, I saw the speechless green mountains, the mountain breeze, and the surging river. Back then, our pioneers spread Marxism-Leninism and explored the truth here; they braved the smoke of gunfire and fought bravely here; they fired cannons to dig mountains, built roads and dug canals, which brought about earth-shaking changes here. They have no time to enjoy the scenery, but they smile at life, are not afraid of difficulties or sacrifices, and are willing to contribute. Today, I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lanshan Gorge without going through hardships, breathe the fresh air here, and listen to the chirping of birds and the singing of summer cicadas.
