Where is the most interesting place in Ziwuling?

Ziwuling is a branch of Qiao Shan Mountains, which lies between Jinghe River and Luohe River. According to historical records, it stretches for more than 400 kilometers from Ningqing in the west to Yan 'an in the east, Yaozhou in the south and Yanbian in the north. It spans 24 townships in Zhengning, Ningxian, Heshui and Huachi counties of Qingyang City, with a main ridge of more than 250 kilometers and an area of more than 4,900 square kilometers.

Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of China, was the first to move in this area, "migrating and pulling out mountain roads", cutting through thorns and opening up wilderness. His mausoleum is located on the Qiao Shan in the east wing of Ziwuling, so Ziwuling is also called "the land of saints".

The famous Qin Zhi Road winds along the Ziwuling Mountain, turning Guanshan Mountain in Li Qian into a thoroughfare. After more than 2,000 years of wind and rain erosion, Qin Zhi Road is still clearly identifiable, and some sections are still open to traffic.

Ziwuling not only has beautiful plateau and forest scenery, but also has a long and splendid historical and cultural heritage and rich animal and plant resources.

There are more than 200 kinds of wood and economic trees such as pine, cypress and birch growing in Ziwuling. There are more than 50 species of wild animals such as leopard, deer, civet cat and black stork/kloc-0.

Ziwuling forest region is not only an economic forest, but also an important ecological forest. Known as the "green barrier" of Longdong and the "natural reservoir" of the Loess Plateau.

Edit this plateau near the sea

Ziwuling, which spans the Loess Plateau, is a natural park in Longshang, with majestic mountains, beautiful scenery, numerous historical sites and rich cultural landscape.

Ziwuling is located in Qingyang City, covering Zhengning, Ningxian, Heshui and Huachi counties, with a length of 207 kilometers from north to south and a total forest area of 497 square kilometers, accounting for 19% of the city's total area. The pines and cypresses growing in the valleys are evergreen all the year round, and the poplars and red apricots are flourishing, which has dyed nearly one-fifth of the land in Qingyang City, and is a "green reservoir" for water conservation and climate regulation. In the early years of the Republic of China, a rhythmic poem by Mr. Li described the majestic momentum and profound cultural background of Ziwuling:

From a distance, the bridge hill is too empty to reflect, mixed with antiques and dyed green.

Qin Huang drove by Sri Lanka, where Di Zi and Lapras returned.

Looking back, how many times has history been left in the blue book?

Things change rapidly, and only the monarch is in the north and south.

According to geological data, Ziwuling was formed in the Late Tertiary. With the continuous uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, both sides of Liupanshan Mountain are uplifted, and Ziwuling Mountain forms a mountain range with this geological change of large-scale uplift.

At the beginning of Quaternary, Ziwuling continued to rise. At this time, the global climate became cold, and the inland monsoon climate paved the Ziwuling with thick loess. The Holocene temperature rises, glaciers recede and rainfall increases, which makes the climate of Ziwuling moist, very suitable for the growth of trees and shrubs, and various plant communities are mixed, forming a beautiful forest in vast expanse.

No matter from the angle of natural state or natural scenery, this plateau forest is the only and most distinctive symbol of Qingyang City. Throughout the ages, Qingyang's human history is closely related to it. Up to now, cultural relics such as the island of Qin, the dressing beam of Zhaojun, the statue of Lotus Temple on Cliff, the Yangtse River in ancient Saiyan, the Paradise Bay in Biluoxia, the Bibo Fengchuan Lake in dense forest and the Donghua Pool in ancient town can be seen everywhere, which is a good place for tourism and leisure.

Edit this paragraph, thousands of miles to go straight to Qin.

On the winding meridian ridge, the remains of a chariot and horse avenue can be seen vaguely along the main peak, and some sections are still used by modern people. In Diaolingguan section of Zhengning county, there are obvious road remains hidden in the Woods, and there are many Qin bricks and Han tiles on both sides of the road, which is very consistent with the direction of Qin Road recorded in historical books. In Ji Li's Tang poems, "Qin Huang drives Sri Lanka" means that Qin Shihuang once patrolled along this straight road.

During the Warring States Period, the State of Qin rose in the northwest, and it was only after it spread to Ying Zheng that China was unified. Qin Shihuang, a brilliant man, is a great town in the world. He reigned for 37 years, proclaimed himself emperor 12 years, and swept away the remnants of the clouds with high winds, ending the situation of warlord separatism since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, unifying all China and creating the first centralized feudal dynasty in the history of China.

At the beginning of Qin Dynasty, the powerful Xiongnu often invaded the Hetao area in the northern part of Qin State, so Qin Shihuang decided to let Meng Tian lead the army to build the Great Wall and build a straight road to resist the invasion of Xiongnu. This Qin Zhi Road starts from Xianyang, Qin Dou, goes straight to Jiuyuan (now Inner Mongolia) and meanders along Qingyang Ziwuling. According to the field investigation, its remains still exist, and the length of the city is 29 1km.

The opening of Qin Zhi Road is a historic and huge project, and it is the first mountain area "expressway" in human history, which is of strategic significance for consolidating northern Qin. Qin dynasty can be transported to the frontier by generals through this avenue, and at the same time, it also strengthens the commercial exchange and ethnic integration process between the Great Wall and the Central Plains.

Today, we strolled along the Qinzhi Road at the top of Ziwuling Mountain, as if we could hear Lin Tao's symphony and the sound of thousands of Ma Benteng.

Edit this paragraph. Zhaojun went out to dress up as a beam.

The story of Zhaojun's departure from the fortress has been circulated for more than a thousand years, which can be said to be well known, but when it comes to dressing up Liang, few people know it.

Dressing beam is a small place name on Ziwuling, which is an ancient post station on Qin Zhi Road, He Qiao Township, Huachi County. According to legend, when Wang Qiang, Emperor Zhaojun of Han Dynasty, went to the Great Wall to marry Xiongnu Khan, he took the straight road of Qin. There is a small station on the way through the place where the beam is dressed. At that time, this was the boundary line actually controlled by the Western Han Dynasty and Xiongnu. When Wang Zhaojun crosses this place, it means leaving his native land. Therefore, Wang Zhaojun used to freshen up here and bid farewell to his hometown. As a result, an unforgettable historical place name "dressing beam" was left. Now, apart from the ruins of a city wall and a beacon tower, there is no trace of the post station, but the historical scene of Zhao Jun's grooming is always fixed here.

Today, when we climb the dressing beam and explore the footprints of history, we will feel nostalgic:

How attached was Wang Zhaojun, who was sitting on horseback, to his loved ones when he crossed the vast forest? What kind of sadness is it to leave home? "Boudoir comparable to the world, Feimingguan Han Palace; One is a desert, and several generations of Jing Rongbing. " Zhao Jun married far away, in exchange for national peace and national harmony. This may be the real reason why Qingyang people often say that they play the role of beam.

Edit this cliff statue of Lotus Temple.

Beautiful Ziwuling, the thick loess on the mountain is covered with dense forest, and the clear stream at the foot of the mountain beats the red sandstone cliffs on both sides. These red sandstone cliffs have become natural resources for Buddhism to dig holes and carve Buddha statues. More than 20 grottoes were dug at the foot of Ziwuling Mountain from the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty through the Tang, Song, Jin, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It can be said that Ziwuling is a paradise of Buddhism.

Lotus Temple Grottoes, located in the middle section of Ziwuling, are a relatively well-preserved cliff statue grottoes in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and are key cultural relics protection units in Gansu Province. It belongs to Huluhe Village, Taibai Town, Heshui County, and is located on the right bank of Huluhe River. The grottoes were dug on the mountain where the Pingding River and Hulu River meet. Above this promontory, there is a dense forest covered with trees, and the stone cliff below the promontory is steep. The cliff statue of Lianhua Temple is carved on this uneven cliff surface. Statues are big or small, sparse or dense. Because of the natural shape of the cliff surface, it is flexible and changeable. The combination of artificial carving and natural cliff surface is seamless and quite wonderful. It is actually an artistic treasure in Buddhist culture.

The cliff statues of Lianhua Temple Grottoes cover an area of about 1.20 square meters, which were excavated in the Tang and Song Dynasties respectively. The inscription on the grottoes bears the date of "Tianbao Ten Years of Tang Dynasty", that is, Tianbao Ten Years of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty in Li Longji (75 1). There is also a topic called "Two Years of Song Shaosheng", which is two years of Shaosheng in Zhao Xu, North Song Zhezong (1095).

The cliff statue of Lianhua Temple Grottoes is a wonderful flower in Ziwuling Grottoes, which has high artistic value and strong ornamental value.

Edit this section of the ancient village Yanfeng Second River City

Ziwuling enjoyed the deep love of history in the prosperous era of unification, and was ravaged by the chaos in the war of separatist regime. From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia, Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Ziwuling area was shrouded in a heavy cloud of war, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia and Liao and Jin Dynasties, where people were fighting for each other, and there were many cities and villages, and Shan Ye was devastated.

The site of Erjiangcheng in Ziwuling is located in Shanzhuang Township, Huachi County. The ancient city is located on the top of the mountain. It is a representative ancient city among many walled cities. The word "Dashun Chengguan" found in the investigation of this city site proves that this is Dashun City built by Fan Zhongyan, the capital of Qingzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty, to resist Xixia.

Yuan Hao established his capital in Xingqing (now Yinchuan), and formed a local regime dominated by the Tangut Qiang, known as Xixia in history. Xixia controlled the vast areas of Ningxia, Gansu, northern Shaanxi and Hetao today, and the soldiers were stronger than Ma Zhuang, and they often invaded northern Xinjiang in the Northern Song Dynasty, with Ziwuling being the first to bear the brunt. In the long-term tug-of-war, Dashuncheng, as an important border area in the Northern Song Dynasty, really played a barrier role.

Whether it is the ancient village beacon smoke or the "voices from all directions", they all go with the long wind of history, but Erjiangcheng is still vast, still lying quietly in the depths of Ziwuling.

Edit this paragraph, the blue sky tower bay.

There is a small river at the eastern foot of Ziwuling, called Miaocun River. This small river is crystal clear all year round, and the water flows around the green hills. There used to be a temple here, and there was a stone statue tower of the Jin Dynasty in the yard. The tower is more than 20 meters high, slim and chic, and it is a scenic spot integrating cultural relics and natural scenery. On the cliff on the right bank of the river, there are four stone characters of "blue sunset sky", which shine in the afterglow of sunset.

These four words were inscribed by Chen Bi, a famous calligrapher in Ming Dynasty and former governor of Ningxia. Chen Bi was a scholar in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, who was good at calligraphy. When he was the governor of Ningxia, he passed by Ziwuling and was intoxicated by the beautiful natural scenery of Miao Village. The trees on the mountain are lush, the deep valleys are gurgling, the sun is shining, the fog is rising, and the clear water and green mountains set each other off, so he happily wrote down the words "blue sunset sky" and gave them to masons to carve on the rock surface. Miaozhai area has been a natural scenic spot in the middle of Ziwuling since ancient times, and many literati have stayed here to enjoy the scenery. Mr. Li, a famous person in Longdong in the late Qing Dynasty, visited here and wrote a poem:

Thousands of acres of green sunset clouds filled the sky, and the pagodas of ancient temples entered the clouds.

The clear stream caresses the shore and the dangerous cliff moves, and the green wave whirls with the wind.

Lurunshan jade beads, orchid soaked morning agate ring.

Don't sigh that Penglai can't go, and Ziwuling can become an immortal.

In recent years, some people of insight advocate developing Miaocun River into a place for tourism, leisure and vacation. Heshui county built a summer resort on Jianshui slope at the head of Miaocun River, with white walls and golden tiles hidden in the shade. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the fresh breath is intoxicating.

Edit this section of Lin Yu Bibo Fengchuan Lake

There is a small lake in Xiaofengchuan at the northern end of Ziwuling, which is a narrow deep valley. In addition, there are dense trees on both sides of the river, so the lake is long, with a water surface of about 5 kilometers and a width of less than 100 meters, so it is called a long lake near the sea.

Changhu Lake is a "pocket-sized" lake, and there is no tendency to "conquer distant mountains and swallow the Yangtze River", but the deepest and quietest is its greatest feature. It is far from the city, and no farmers live here. There is neither the noise of the city nor the crowing of chickens and dogs in the countryside. The lake lies quietly between mountains and peaks, like a baby sleeping in its mother's arms. Occasionally, a breeze in the forest makes the lake ripple like a smile in a baby's dream.

Toyokawa Lake is rippling with blue waves. Looking up, it looks like a blue ribbon sinking into a mountain stream. The deep peaks on both sides of the lake are reflected in the lake, and the lakes and mountains are integrated. Boating on the lake, you will see the golden carp swimming in panic, gathering curiously on the boat, as if playing with tourists. The long lake, which is completely in its original state, is a lady to be married, waiting for the arrival of a gentleman.

On April 5, 2006, Ziwuling was approved as a national nature reserve by the State Council.
