2. Yanling Jizi Temple AA

The Jizi Temple Scenic Area is located in Jiuli Village, 16 kilometers southwest of Danyang City. It is a temple built to commemorate Wu Jizi during the Spring and Autumn Period. Ji Zi's name is Jizha, also known as Yanling Ji Zi. The fourth son of Wu Wang Shoumeng was an outstanding politician, thinker, diplomat and literary critic in the Spring and Autumn Period. He was intelligent, knowledgeable about etiquette, virtuous, and intelligent since he was a child. He was an outstanding virtuous, sage, and benevolent person. Jizha admired Qin Bo's legacy and gave up the throne three times, which has become an eternal legend. He is known as the "third most virtuous man" in Chinese history. After that, he retired to Yanling and was buried in Jiuli Town after his death. In order to commemorate him, his descendants took Gu Wu as their surname, respected Ji Zi as the ancestry of the Wu family in Yanling, and built temples to worship him. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the popularity of Jizi Temple has continued for more than two thousand years. In the Song Dynasty, Jizi Temple was canonized as Jiaxian Temple, and Jizi was also called the Jiaxian Emperor. During the Qing Dynasty, Jizi Temple was grand in scale, especially the main hall, which was so majestic and towering that the roof of the temple could be seen dozens of miles away. Jizi Temple once became the largest and most prosperous Taoist temple in this area.

The reason why Jizi Temple is famous is not only the rare Confucius Stele, the Eight-Character Stele and other places of interest, but also the thousand-year-old ancient well that is unique in the world and is known as a "wonder of the world"── "A boiling well springs from a spring." According to records, there were hundreds of wells here in ancient times, some of which were boiling wells. There are six existing ancient boiling wells. The water in the wells is three clear and three turbid, adjacent to each other. The big one is like boiling water, and the small one is like a fish exhaling "water" breath. Looking from a distance, the well railings are simple and elegant, with unique charm; when you get closer and take a closer look, you can see that the water in the well is boiling and the waves are rolling. Well water is drinkable and has different flavors. This peculiar landscape makes tourists wonder. Some people compare it with Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou, saying that "when you return from Huangshan, you don't see the mountains, when you return from Jiuzhaigou, you don't see the water, and when you return from Jiuzhaigou, you don't see the springs"!

3. Jiashan Longqing Temple AA

Jiashan is located in Houxiang Town, east of Danyang, on the bank of Jiuqu River. Although it is only 149 meters above sea level, it is "lying on the side of the Yangtze River and standing on the wall."

In the south of the mountain, there are strange rocks and beautiful water, elegance and tranquility.

According to legend, Emperor Qianlong visited Jiashan Temple twice during his six trips to the south of the Yangtze River, and personally awarded the plaque "Longqing Zen Temple" to the temple. Therefore, Jiashan Temple is as famous as the "Jiangtian Zen Temple" in Jinshan, Zhenjiang. "To burn incense and go to Jinshan, you have to go to Jiashan first." Since "Jia" has the same pronunciation as home, it makes believers feel more familiar.

In recent years, Jiashan Temple has undergone many renovations and has built the Shanmen Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Main Hall, the Sutra Library, the Zhaitang, the Ksitigarbha Hall, the Three Sacred Halls, the Guanyin Hall, the Guest Hall, and the Ancestral Hall. , Dharma hall and other buildings, covering an area of ??more than 40 acres.

One day, while fetching water with his sister-in-law, they accidentally picked up three eggs left on the road and returned home with them in their arms. However, the three eggs disappeared and she became pregnant. On the night of May 18th, a green dragon was suddenly born and flew into the sky. The whirling belly calls out: "I am a white dragon. When I ascend and fly, I should come out from the side." The fruit breaks through the side and is born. Bailong asked his mother to close her eyes and hold Ling Yun in her arms. When my mother heard that there was a thunderstorm in the sky, she was very frightened and opened her eyes to see it. Then she fell to the ground and died. When Bailong saw his mother's death, he was so sad that he jumped on the ground and sank for dozens of miles into a pond. From then on, there was Bailong Pond. This matter was widely heard in the world, and Emperor Wu was moved by it and issued an edict to grant twenty acres of pond land to build a temple, and also granted him the title of "Ci Gan".

5. Stone carvings on the tombs of emperors in the Southern Dynasties

On the land of Danyang, there are tall and exquisite carvings of stone animals. They are powerful, smooth and vivid, ready to go, and extremely rich. Dynamism is a treasure of ancient sculpture art. Their artistic value can be compared with that of the Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes of the Northern Wei Dynasty at the same time. They are the famous stone carvings of the tombs of the Southern Dynasties at home and abroad.

The tomb stone carvings of the Southern Dynasties are Shinto stone carvings in front of the tombs of emperors and princes of the Southern Dynasties. Only emperors and princes enjoyed it, so Shinto stone carvings were often huge in shape and exquisitely carved, and they were symbols of power.

Most of these mausoleums are facing north to south, or west to east. The stone carvings are about a kilometer away from the mausoleums. They generally include tomb-preserving mythical animals, Shinto stone pillars, Shinto stele, etc. There are three types of mythical beasts used to guard tombs: Tianlu, Qilin and evil spirits. The three stone beasts are basically similar in shape. They are tall, with their heads held high, their mouths showing teeth, and their eyes with fierce eyes. There are wings carved on both sides of the abdomen. The four legs are staggered forward and backward. Their claws are fully visible. They walk like flying, with a majestic and solemn expression. . The top of Tianlu is carved with two horns, the unicorn has one horn, and the evil spirit has no horns. Among the stone carvings of tombs in the Southern Dynasties, Tianlu and Qilin are only found in the imperial tombs, while warding off evil spirits is exclusively used in the tombs of princes and kings. The hierarchy is strict and cannot be changed at will.

After the Xiao family in Danyang became the emperors of the Qi and Liang generations, they never forgot to return to their roots and built mausoleums in their hometown for burials. According to the etiquette of imperial mausoleums, most of the sacred animals that guard the tombs are Tianlu and Qilin. . In Nanjing, there are mostly tombs of princes from the Qi and Liang dynasties, and the sacred beasts placed in front of the tombs are to ward off evil spirits. Therefore, Tianlu became the symbol of Danyang, and warding off evil spirits became the symbol of Nanjing. There is a saying that "Danyang's Tianlu is Nanjing's evil spirit".

Stone carving art has a long history in our country, and the stone carvings of the tombs of the Southern Dynasties are masterpieces in the history of Chinese art. They can also be regarded as treasures in the world's art treasure house and have a pivotal position. It was inherited from the Qin and Han dynasties, and started from the Sui and Tang dynasties. It is comparable to the grotto art of the Northern Dynasties at the same time, and its brilliance will last to future generations. In January 1988, it was listed as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council.

The main locations for the Danyang Southern Dynasties stone carvings are the two sides of the Xiaoliang River in Lingkou Town, Shishi Bay, Xiantang, Qianai Temple, Jinwangchen Village, Lanshilong, Sancheng Alley, and Shuijingshan Village. Eleven places, twenty-six pieces, including the Yong'an Mausoleum of Emperor Xuan of Qi, Xiao Daosheng's Xiu'an Mausoleum, the Jing'an Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Qi, Xiao Luan of Qi Ming, and the Xing'an Mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Liang, Xiao Shunzhi. The Jianling Mausoleum, the repaired mausoleum of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty Xiao Yan, and the tombs of King Jin in Chencun, Lanshilong, and Shuijingshan Village have been unable to be verified and have lost their names. There are Shinto stone carvings in front of these tombs. The stone carvings are very vivid in shape and majestic. They are treasures of ancient Chinese stone carving art. In addition, two Southern Dynasty stone pillars and an ashlar stone were recently discovered in Sancheng Lane, and a Shi Tianlu was unearthed. In this way, the number of Southern Dynasty stone carvings in Danyang should be 30. These mausoleum stone carvings stand in the countryside and farmland. After thousands of years of wind and rain, war changes and man-made destruction, they have been severely weathered and most of them are incomplete.
