China's Hundreds of Surnames Tracking Park

The Daliangshan Trail of the "Hundreds of Chinese Surnames Tracking Park" is a long and flat trail with flowers blooming and grasses growing all year round on both sides. There are spring greetings in spring and lotus flowers in summer. Especially in autumn, golden wild chrysanthemums bloom all over the roadside, and the fragrance of chrysanthemums flies to the nose, making people linger.

The "Hundred Chinese Surnames Tracking Garden" covers an area of ??40 acres and is primitive, mysterious, remote and profound. It consists of one axis (gate, worship platform, Huaxu Palace), two areas (management service area and landscape function area), three gates (front gate and rear side door), and seven viewing areas (entrance landscape area, worship platform landscape area) , Huaxu Palace Landscape Area, Art Gallery Landscape Area, Personalized Surname Display Landscape Area, Art Sculpture Landscape Area).

"Dragon and Phoenix Avenue", the avenue is 38 meters long, 11.6 meters wide, and has a slope of about 45 degrees. The bluestone-paved avenue is divided into two lanes, left and right, dotted with flowers and vegetation, and eight ginkgo trees line both sides. In the middle of the avenue, there is a relief pattern composed of three pairs of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes. The dragon and phoenix appear in the clouds, soaring around each other, one strong and one soft, which is beautiful.

The gate of "Tracking Garden of Hundreds of Surnames in China" is in the architectural style of Han and Tang Dynasties. It has three floors and two doors, covered with green and gray tiles. The name of the garden is "Tracking Garden of Hundreds of Surnames in China" written in the upper part of the middle.

The worship platform, the main sculpture symbolizing the origin of the Chinese nation and surname, is six meters high. Fuxi and Nuwa are dressed in ancient costumes. The upper half is human and the lower half is snake-shaped. They hold each other with one hand and hold the other high, tightly entwined together. The union of Fuxi and Nuwa was the birth of the Chinese nation and the splendid civilization of China for five thousand years. They should be worthy of our descendants' worship.

In the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" Square, what you can see is the gallery of stele monuments with hundreds of surnames. When we come here, we can't help but ask: The world is dark and yellow, the ancient times are ancient, and Hongmeng is opened up. Where does the surname come from? Tracing back to ancient times, Fuxi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, began to "correct surnames and separate marriages", ending the history of mixing things up and living in groups. This can be regarded as the beginning of Chinese surnames. Thousands of surnames have gone through vicissitudes and have been passed down from generation to generation for five thousand years. The surname culture has become a unique system and important symbol of the Chinese nation's profoundness and profoundness. When we find our own surname from the hundreds of surnames carved on these stone tablets, don’t we feel a solemn and cordial feeling through the reproduction of the Chinese nation from generation to generation?

From the central axis upward, the highest point of Surname Garden is Huamu Pavilion. Huamu Pavilion has a unique shape, with a rounded bottom, a hollow top, which fully reflects the designer's ingenuity and expresses the exquisiteness of Chinese culture that "the sky is round and the place is connected to the sky and the earth, and people are in it, and the five elements hide the chest." The white marble sculptures in the pavilion are pure and elegant. The Chinese mother is graceful and elegant, with various appearances. The Fuxi human head and dragon body in her arms shows her childishness but her wisdom. According to legend, Hua Xu was a native of Yuntai Mountain at the junction of Gu Cang and Lang. One day, he accidentally discovered a huge set of footprints. He followed the traces and met the God of Thunder. Fuxi was then born, the mother of the ancient Chinese ancestors. Mother Hua ensured that the descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties would continue to live forever, and the road to Chinese civilization would be endless. We modern people should build pavilions to pay homage and offer sacrifices.

Erxianping and Erxianping Hanging Pavilion

On the side of Wudang Mountain facing the Jialing River are the Erxianping and Erxianting scenic spots. The mountains here are steep and the cliffs are thousands of feet tall. The lifelike statues of immortals, gods and Buddhas enjoy the incense of the world in the mountains covered by clouds and mist. The stone path is winding and sometimes covered with fallen leaves. There are green pines or cypresses on both sides, mixed with some fragrant grass and wild flowers, as if the road is green and fragrant.

There are eight single stone statues of the "Eight Immortals" carved on the flat dam downstairs, adding to the charm of Yangtian Tower. The couplet in the center of the gate "The people should respect the officials who live in heaven, and the earth is the mother and a human being must be filial and sincere" reflects the fundamentals of being an official and a human being.

The building can be entered from all directions, and all parties on each floor of the building can lean on the railings to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you climb to the highest point of the tower and look around, you will have a panoramic view of the mountains and waters, which will give you the feeling of being open-minded and seeing all the mountains. Leaning on the railing and looking east, you can see rolling hills, dotted with new villa-style farmhouses on the fertile fields. At all times, there are waves of wheat rolling, rice flowers flying, and melons and fruits fragrant. Staring to the south, the "Chongxia Pagoda" on Baita Mountain has a long and ancient charm, like a giant pen with its tip pointing to the sky, writing in the blue sky the grand chapter of the reform and opening up of the 800,000 people in Lixiang and their pursuit of a well-off society. Turning to look to the west, I saw faint clouds and mountains in the sky, thousands of miles of Jialing coming all the way east, and dots of sail shadows on the vast river. On the west bank of the river, two spiritual temples shaded by cypresses can be vaguely seen, one is Yancong Temple and the other is Linjiang Temple.

When we walk up to the bell tower, we can see a giant copper bell hanging inside the building. This bronze bell is called "Peace Bell", weighs about 1 ton, and is made of pure copper. When the bell is struck, the sound is loud and melodious and can be heard for miles. People say that ringing the bell and praying can bring peace, happiness, good fortune and health.
