Introduction to Peach Blossom Garden Scenic Spot:

Peach Blossom Garden, a scenic spot, is well-known in China, and the "Xanadu" described by Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is well known all over the world. Where is the prestigious Peach Blossom Garden? The authoritative reference book Cihai clearly pointed out in the explanation of the entry "Taoyuan Mountain" that Taoyuan Mountain is in the southwest of Taoyuan County, Hunan Province. There is Taoyuan Cave, also known as Qinren Cave and Baima Cave, which is the site of Taohuayuan recorded by Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As early as 2 BC, Peach Blossom Garden has long been a scenic spot with quiet scenery and beautiful forests and valleys.

According to legend, in the ancient Tang and Yao dynasties, Mr. Shanjuan lived in seclusion in Changde Waste Mountain (now Deshan), which is dependent on the Peach Blossom Garden and a river (Yuanjiang River) and dozens of miles away. This venerable recluse, who gave way to the world in Yu Shun, brought culture and civilization to Xiangyuan. Therefore, people called his secluded mountain "Deshan", so there is a saying among the people that "Changde Deshan Mountain has virtue". In his later years, Mr. Shanjuan went to Xupu via Peach Blossom Garden, lived in Lufeng Mountain, and then moved to Dayou Mountain, often traveling between the two places, influencing and educating the people in the southern wilderness. Xia and Shang dynasties, it belongs to Baipu.

in the Zhou dynasty, Zhou Chengwang made a vassal and named Xiong Yi Chu Zi. Chu is a viscount, surnamed Xiong, so it is called "Xiong Chu". Chu is in the southern wilderness, beyond the reach of Wang Hua, and can expand its territory without authorization. So Chu Zi invaded Baipu and changed this area to "the middle of Guizhou", and the Peach Blossom Garden was in the middle of Guizhou. In the late Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Ping (reigned from 528 to 516) built Cailing City (Huang Chucheng) in Taoyuan County. Judging from the excavated site of Cailing City (Huang Chucheng), although Taohuayuan area belongs to the southern wilderness, it was developed earlier and its culture was quite developed.

Huang Xie, one of the four sons of the Warring States, was first sealed in Wuling, and once managed this area to become a state of etiquette. In addition, the Taohuayuan area later became a refuge place in the Qin Dynasty. In the 3rd century BC, Qu Yuan, the great patriotic poet Chu San Lv, was exiled to the south of the Yangtze River by King Qing Xiang, and he followed the footsteps of Shanjuan and wandered around Yuanjiang for a long time. "Take a boat to Yuan Xi, and Qi Wu Bang will be defeated" (Shejiang) and "There is Zhi Xi Li Lan in Yuan" (Lisao), all of which are the portrayal of his life in Yuan Shui. He set out from waste Zhu (Deshan), traced back to Yuanjiang River, passed Taohuayuan to Chenyang, and finally stayed in Xupu for a long time.

Now Changde also has "San Lv Bridge" and "San Lv Lane" named after his official position. He inherited and developed Chu culture. During his long exile, he sang songs everywhere, created Sao-style literature, inherited the elegance of the country and absorbed the folk songs of Chu style, which made him unique and became the ancestor of southern literature and the first great poet in China. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, today's land of Peach Blossom Garden was included in Qianzhong County. In the early Western Han Dynasty, the county in central Guizhou was changed to Wuling County, which governed 13 counties, including southwest Hubei, west of Yuanjiang River valley in Hunan, east Guizhou, Sanjiang and Longsheng in Guangxi. Peach Blossom Garden is located in Linyuan County of Wuling County, which was called Aconitum Village at that time.

In the 24th year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty (48), Ma Yuan, the general of Fubo, marched to the south to "Man" in Wuxi, and once stationed in Wutou Village. Today, there are still "Ma Yuan Stone Room" where he used to spend the summer and "Yingpanzhou" where he used to set up an account. His soldiers suffered from plague, and the local people offered "Sansheng soup" (that is, tea-smashing) to cure the plague for the soldiers. Therefore, the legend of tea-smashing and the custom of entertaining guests with tea-smashing have been left in this area of Taohuayuan ever since. In the following two years, that is, the twenty-sixth year of Jianwu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuannan County was analyzed from Linyuan County, belonging to Wuling County, and Taohuayuan belonged to Yuannan County. The Three Kingdoms, the Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Peach Blossom Garden all belong to Yuannan County, Wuling County. It was in this historical stage of the Jin Dynasty (from the middle of the 3rd century BC to the early 5th century BC) that Taohuayuan, a scenic spot with mountains and rivers, began to have buildings. The Records of Jiajing Changde compiled by Chen Hongmo in Ming Dynasty contains: "The view of Taoyuan was built by Jin people." Taoist temple was built on Taoyuan Mountain, so it was named Taoyuan View.

The mountain name "Taoyuan Mountain" existed before the Jin Dynasty; "Taoyuan Mountain" is the source of peach blossoms or the mountain where peach blossoms originate. It is a place where peach forests are dense and peach blossoms are colorful and beautiful. In the second year of Song Yongchu in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (421), Tao Yuanming, a great poet in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, wrote an eternal masterpiece, The Poems of Peach Blossom Garden, which depicts an ideal kingdom-Peach Blossom Garden, which is free from disputes, exploitation, oppression, adequate food and clothing. This is not only a portrait of the situation of Taohuayuan at that time, but also reflects the people's yearning for peace, tranquility and a happy and beautiful life. It also reflects the people's protest and hatred of the dark society.

Tao Yuanming was deeply influenced by Confucianism and Taoism since he was a child. Therefore, in his masterpiece "Poems in Peach Blossom Garden", there are both Confucian ideals of "Great Harmony in the World" and Taoist thoughts of "Small Country with Few People". Tao Yuanming inherited Chu culture and Qu Yuan's "Chu style". After the publication of "Poems in Peach Blossom Garden", it broke the ground and made Peach Blossom Garden famous. In reality, Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuan View, Taohua Mountain and Taochuan (that is, the Yuanjiang section near Taoyuan Mountain) became famous.

The view of cherishing Taoyuan was destroyed by soldiers at the end of Sui Dynasty. However, the beautiful Taoyuan Mountain and Taohua Mountain are still blooming on the shores of the endless Taochuan River, and the Peach Blossom Garden outlined by Mr. Tao Lao is more deeply engraved in the hearts of the world. In the current dynasty, Wuling County was abandoned and changed to Langzhou, and the three counties of Linyuan, Yuannan and Hanshou were Wuling County, and Taohuayuan belonged to Wuling County. In the Tang Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was well protected and developed.

at the beginning of the Tang dynasty, around 73 ad, the imperial court built Xuanyuan Emperor Temple in various places, rebuilt the peach blossom view in Taohuayuan, and exempted 2 farmers nearby from the corvee for sweeping. In the seventh year of Tianbao (748), on May 13th in the summer, it was increased to exempt 3 households nearby from taxes, and it was always used for sweeping and guarding the mountains. In the eighth year of Dali (773), Qu Baiting, a Taoist priest in Taoyuan, emerged, and later generations built a memorial altar in Taoyuan Mountain (because of the legend that Qu Baiting left eight toe prints at the rising place of Dengxian) and Quxian Pavilion.

in the second year of Jianzhong (781), the buildings in Taohuayuan, which are mainly Taoist temples, have reached a certain scale, and the range of the mountain boundary has been determined by the government. According to the "Notes on the Mountain Boundary of Taoyuan" written by Di Zhongli in the first year of Huichang (841), "The east is seven miles wide, the north is nine miles long, the east is five miles in Siluoxi, the west is two miles in Shuixi, the south is four miles in Zhangshan, and the north is Yuanjiang. Du Guangting, a Taoist priest in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, wrote in his "Paradise in the Cave": "The 35-hole Taoyuan Mountain, which goes back 7 miles a week, is called the White Horse's Xuanguang Day, in Wuling County, Langzhou." In the Tang Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden entered the initial period of prosperity.

Especially in the early years of Yuanhe (87), Liu Yuxi, a famous writer, often visited the Peach Blossom Garden after he demoted Sima Langzhou, inscribed "Taoyuan Jiazhi" and carved a monument. Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuan Cave and Taoyuan View, the historical sites left by the Jin Dynasty and the original site of Peach Blossom Garden written by Mr. Tao Qian, were even more yearned for and explored by bureaucrats, literati, Taoist priests and even the people. In the 12th year of Yuanhe (817), Tao Yuan Taoist Chen Tongwei and Taoist friend Wang Zhiyan begged Wei Gan, the prefect of Wuling, to change the Taoyuan earth-viewing shrine into a stone-level shrine, and to equip many buildings to make the Peach Blossom Garden more attractive.

Due to the far-reaching influence of Tao Yuanming's Poems in Peach Blossom Garden, all the famous poets, writers, officials and Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty almost all yearned for Taoyuan Mountain, Taoyuan Cave and Taoyuan View, and sang their praises. According to historical records, there are as many as 4 to 5 famous people in the Tang Dynasty who left poems in Taohuayuan, including Meng Haoran, Zhang Xu, Wang Changling, Wang Wei, Li Bai, Liu Changqing, Han Yu, Wang Jian, Liu Yuxi, Du Mu, Li Qunyu, Zhang Jie and so on. By the Song Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was greatly developed and restored, which became the heyday in history. In the first year of Gande, Song Taizu (963), the imperial court separated the areas on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Yuanjiang River, which is famous for its scenic spots and historical sites, from Wuling County, and set up another county with Taoyuan as its name.

shortly thereafter, Langzhou was renamed Dingzhou, and Taoyuan County and Taohuayuan in China belonged to Dingzhou. In the first year of the main road (1165), Dingzhou was changed to Changde House, and Taoyuan County and Taohuayuan under its jurisdiction subsequently belonged to Changde House. Since the early Song Dynasty, Taohuayuan has built a large number of buildings and Taoist temples. In the first year of Chunhua (99), the official of Langzhou was ordered to build 5 Xianren Pavilion, which was named Wangxian Pavilion after completion. In the first year of Zhenghe (1111), Quanfa sent Guangnan West Road to transport Zhang Zhuang to play Gong Yuanzheng as a Taoist priest, and built it on the mountain, which was divided into three palaces, ***133 meters. The following year, Song Huizong Imperial Pencil Kiss gave the plaque of "Taochuan Wanshou Palace", which was put in charge of by a designated point.

In the first year of Chun _ (1241), people in Longyang (now Hanshou County) donated money to build Wudang Palace. In the Peach Blossom Garden in Song Dynasty, not only the buildings were once brilliant, but also the landscape vegetation was gradually cultivated to be extraordinarily beautiful and rich. These not only benefit from the nourishment of the increasingly prosperous Peach Blossom Garden culture due to the great influence of Tao Yuanming's Poems of Peach Blossom Garden, but also make the Peach Blossom Garden culture richer and more vivid, thus infiltrating the whole land of China. In the third year of Song Shaosheng (196), the Peach Blossom Garden Collection (***4 volumes), the first collection of poems written by scholars from Jin to Song Dynasty, was compiled by Tian Ju.

Later, in the early years of Shaoxing (about 1131-114) and the seventh year of Chunxi (118), he compiled The Peach Blossom Garden Collection twice, compiling hundreds of poems and articles of Peach Blossom Garden. Throughout the Song Dynasty, dozens of poets, poets and writers, including Zhang Yong, Mei Yaochen, Zhang _, Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Qin Guan, Huang Tingjian, Hu Hong, Zhu Xi, Lu You, Jiang Kui and Xie Fangde, left poems, words and essays for Peach Blossom Garden.

In 89 years of Yuan Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was not restored and developed because the imperial court didn't pay attention to it. Instead, it was destroyed in ruins by soldiers during the reign of Shundi in the last year (1333-1368). However, the Taohuayuan culture with Tao Qian culture as its soul cannot be destroyed by soldiers. During this period, there are still many famous literati visiting Taohuayuan to write poems. Dozens of people, such as Zhang Hu, Yuan Haowen, Xu Heng, Wu Cheng, Liu Yin, Jie Si, Sadula and Fu Ruojin, wrote many poems about the Peach Blossom Garden. In the Ming Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden was repaired and destroyed, and it was fashionable and abandoned. In the 12th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1379), Shang Weide, the abbot of Taoyuan Temple, built something on the ruins, and later Gong Guixiang, a Taoist, continued to build. In the sixth year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1455), Governor Li of Hunan sponsored abbot Taoist Xie Zhichang to build several temples in the former site of Taoyuan Temple, which was destroyed by wind and rain within 2 years.

in the 18th year of Chenghua (1482), Feng Xintong, a Taoist patron of Lee Tae, the magistrate of Changde, built the Dragon and Tiger Hall, the Dharma Hall and the official hall in Sanqing, and raised money to decorate the statue. In the 14th year of Hongzhi (151), the abbot Taoist Tan Changlun built Taoyuan Guanshanmen and Qingfeng Bridge. In the 13th year of Zhengde (1518), the abbot Taoist Zeng Shixian (so-called Taoist Taoists) reclaimed land and planted peach trees, raised funds everywhere and started to repair the long-abandoned Wudang Palace. In the 4th year of Jiajing (1561), the project was completed, while Ceng Daoren's privatization operation lasted for 43 years. During this period, Lin Yingliang, the magistrate of Changde, built a pavilion at the entrance of Taoyuan, and inscribed the stone forehead of "Changchun at the entrance of the cave".

in the third year of Wanli (1575), Zhao xianzhong, the governor of Hunan province, engraved the tablet entitled "taoyuan jiazhi" by Liu Yuxi in Tang dynasty. From the 18th to 23rd year of Wanli (159-1595), Zhongcheng Jiangdong planned to build a stone garden pavilion outside Taoyuan Cave, and left his post before it was completed. Hu Guangyou took part in Chen Xing-xue's political work, and continued to build the building. It was not completed for a while, and the Bafang Pavilion (now Fangzhu Pavilion) was built. In the thirty-second year of Wanli (164), Liu Zhilong, the deputy envoy of the judge department of Huguang, made a tour of Hubei Road, and instructed Wei Yike, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, to build a hall in front of Taoyuan Cave, so that the corridor would be the gate, and the tea kitchen would be the door. Surrounded by a wall, it also introduces flowing water from the cave into the small pool in front of the pavilion, entitled "House of the Fairy".

In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Li Tingmo, deputy envoy of the Justice Department of Huguang, and Huang Lai, the magistrate of Taoyuan County, ordered He Boxi, the principal bookkeeper, to build several houses in the open space of the hatchback of Lingxian House. In the thirty-seventh year of Wanli, Hu Guang's Ministry of Political Affairs took part in politics and toured Guo Xianzhong of Hubei Province and Huang Lai, the county magistrate, and sponsored the monk Zhang Dingxin to build a grand palace on the top of Taohua Mountain to worship the statue of Grand Master. During the Apocalypse (162-1927), due to the collapse of the natural stone bridge at the entrance of Taoyuan, Sun Tinghui, the master of Taoyuan, built a wooden bridge to meet the immortal bridge. About the end of Ming and early Qing Dynasty (the middle of 17th century), a new Huangwen Pavilion was built at the top of Huangwen Mountain.

at the same time, the Taoist temple buildings in the riverside area of Taohuayuan were destroyed by soldiers again. With the passage of time, the Peach Blossom Garden, a scenic spot built in Jin Dynasty, and Tao Yuanming's Poems of Peach Blossom Garden show the cultural penetration of scenic spots and historic masterpieces. Scholars in the Ming Dynasty still yearned for and enthusiastically explored the Peach Blossom Garden and its culture. During the year of Qin Long (156-157), Feng Zijing, the provincial judge of Huguang, made up for the lack of the collection compiled by the Song people, and made more explanations, adding Yuan and Ming writers to compile the Peach Blossom Spring Collection into three volumes. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were as many as 68 poets and officials who left their names in the Peach Blossom Garden and published their poems, including Wang, Xue Xuan, Wen Shu, Wang Shouren, Long Fude, Jiang Yingke, Yuan Hongdao, Yang Sichang, Zhang Jingxin and Li Deyang.

After more than 26 years in the Qing Dynasty, the Peach Blossom Garden has been restored one after another, but it is far less prosperous than that in the Tang and Song Dynasties. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Luo Qiding, a local citizen, advocated the repair of Yuanming Temple (also known as Jingjie Temple) and planted thousands of peaches in front of it. In the fourth year of Kangxi (1665), Chen Hongfan, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, sponsored a mountain monk to repair the Taochuan ancient temple. From the 19th year to the 47th year of Kangxi (168-178), Wang Ziyuan, the governor of Hunan Province, tried to rebuild Taochuan Palace, but failed. After that, his first son, Li Yongqing, continued to build and was completed, but its scale was not as good as before. In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi (179), Yu Yimo, the governor of Huguang, built a companion pavilion in front of Taoyuan Cave and a square bamboo pavilion at the lower left of Yuxian Bridge (later abandoned by wind and rain). Also cast Taochuan Xuanyue Palace Bell (five feet high, one foot and eight inches around).

in the eighth year of Qianlong (1743), Wang Zenghua, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, initiated the construction of Taochuan Academy near Taochuan Palace. In the 18th year of Qianlong (1753), Qu Yishen, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, added the wall of Taochuan Academy, and built two halls and study rooms. In Jiaqing and Daoguang, Yang Xianduo, an Oracle of Taoyuan County, and Wu Yulin, a juren waiting for the palace, planted 3 peaches in the open space of Taoyuan Dongkou. In the winter of the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (1845), Taoyuan magistrate's sight of the Yuanming Temple was on the decline, and he advocated repairing it, ordering Zhao Shi, a county magistrate, to attend to Dong's affairs. Completed in February of the following year. In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), Zhu Yuan, a magistrate of a county, supplemented Tao Qian's Poems in Peach Blossom Garden with a Preface to Yu Yuan Ming Temple. In the fourth year of Xianfeng, except for Huangwen Pavilion, Yuanming Temple and Fangzhu Pavilion, Taohuayuan buildings were mostly destroyed by fire, and the survivors became increasingly broken.

in the sixth year of Xianfeng, the county people decided to build the Guansheng Palace in Taohuayuan, which was not completed. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, Xiong Zhennan, a magistrate of a county rebuilt the Dashige, which was not completed. In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), county people such as Wang Daofeng and Zeng Yunqiao built Guansheng Palace (the site is in this chrysanthemum garden), and Chang Lin was released as a statue. In the fourth year of Tongzhi, Sun Tongsheng, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, continued to be a grand master's court. In the ninth year of Tongzhi (187), Ma Weixu, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, published 14 poems about Peach Blossom Garden in Jixian Temple, including Tao Qian, Liu Changqing, Li Bai, Wang Wei, Meng Haoran, Zhang Xu, Han Yu, Liu Yuxi, Zhang Jian, Cao Tang, Wang Anshi, Su Shi and Huang Tingjian. In the 14th year of Guangxu (1888), Yu Liangdong, a magistrate of Taoyuan County, began to clean up the paste firefields in Taoxi School of Classics (namely Taochuan Academy) around Taoyuandong and Taochuan Palace. The second time, 495 mu of farmland was cleared, from which 7 mu of farmland and 1 mu of cooked soil were proposed to pay for the Ming Temple in Fuyuan and extend to the Taoist priest in the museum. At the age of 2, 2 mu of farmland and cable boats were also proposed.

Soon, the school located in the fisherman's place will be moved to the county seat through the Academy. In the seventeenth year of Guangxu (1891), heavy rain and hail caused the tiles of Yuanming Temple to fall.
