Shilong Scenic Spots - Luozhou City and Shilong County City Ruins

It is located in the Old City Ridge in the northeast corner of Huazhou Town. Luozhou City was built in the Liang Dynasty (503-557 AD) of the Southern Dynasty. It was built of earth and was destroyed after the Southern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of liberation, the city site was still clear, and the base of the wall protruded from the ground by one to several feet. The city is square with an area of ??100,000 square meters. The ancient city of Shilong faces north and faces south. It was built with slabs and rammed earth, and most of the city foundations still exist. According to actual measurements, Shilong Ancient City starts from Binjianglao Village in the east, reaches Huanglang Mountain in the west, passes Heini City in the south, and is close to Dade Ridge. Outside the front door of today's silk factory is the tall gate tower of the ancient city. The ancient city is 330 meters wide from east to west, 300 meters wide from north to south, with a circumference of 1,260 meters and a total area of ??114,000 square meters. In 570 AD, the Chen Dynasty transferred Feng Bao to serve as the prefect of Shilong and conferred Mrs. Xian as Mrs. Shilong. The location is here. Mrs. Xian and Feng Bao's family lived here for a long time. At that time, Shilong Ancient City had beautiful scenery, prosperous markets, and Xiange was heard hundreds of miles away. Today, the remains of the Shigongling ancient wharf, the ancient mouth of Yung Shue Bay and the ancient road, racecourse and horse racing ground are still vaguely visible. In the third year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1133), Li Dan, the governor of the county, built a city in Hexi (today's Huazhou City), which was about 500 to 600 years later than the ancient city of Luozhou. At that time, the city's site was moved from Hedong to Hexi, and the legend of "flying beams and growing trees" has been passed down. During the Liang and Chen dynasties, Luozhou, Shilong County, and Xingxing County were governed. Chen granted Feng Pu the title of Shilong Prefect, and conferred Xian Ying as the Grand Lady of Shilong County, who was stationed here.

In front of the Prefecture Department (in front of the present-day Municipal Public Security Bureau building), "Taiping Huanyu Ji" said that it was "on Shilonggang three miles south of the prefecture", which refers to this (before the Northern Song Dynasty, the prefecture city was in Jiucheng Ridge, so the stone Longgang is three miles south of the state). Shilong's scenic spots have existed for unknown ages. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang established Shilong County and Shilong County was named after this. In the fifth year of Taiping and Xingguo's reign (980) in the Northern Song Dynasty, Bianzhou was renamed Huazhou. It also took the meaning of "dragon can change", so it was named Huazhou. On the ancient stone Longgang, there are stone tools emerging from the ground, shaped like a dragon's head, and there are stones hidden in the river, called the dragon's tail. There is a stone orifice on the dragon's head that leads to the bottom of the river. When the energy is stimulated, it sings, and the sound is like the sound of a goose but louder. Sometimes it is sandblasted, crystal clear and white. The ancients did not understand the scientific reason for this phenomenon and found it strange. Some people say that stone dragons are spiritual creatures. Wu is auspicious. In the seventh year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1456), on the third day of the Shilong Ming Dynasty, Yang Yiqing was born in the state office. He later became a famous official in the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties, reaching the position of prime minister. Zhao Shijin, the governor of Jianzhou in Chongzhen, opened a stone dragon well here, built a pavilion and erected a monument. Some people say that the sound is unlucky and will cause disasters, so they use iron woks and stones to block the stone openings and build drum towers to suppress them. In the late Ming Dynasty, rubble and soil gradually accumulated. After entering the Qing Dynasty, Jingping Point was abandoned. But the stone dragon still exists, buried underground at a depth of about 3 meters. The Eight Ancient Scenes are Baoshan's accumulated greenery, standing stones in the middle of the stream, flying sails on the water, sparkling pearls, moonlight in Qianqiu night, Longgang Panshi, Fengjing Mingquan, and climbing wild scenery.
