On a 4-meter-high stone tablet on the banks of the Cisai Mountain, there are three Chinese characters "Cisai Mountain", with the square character 1 square meter, written by Zhu Qichang, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty. From here to the east, there is a stone carving of "Long Pan Hu Ju" by Ming Dynasty scholar Wu. Among the numerous stone carvings on the stone walls on both sides of Taohua Cave, three characters of "Cisai Mountain" written by contemporary calligrapher Chu Tunan are engraved on the cliff on the left side of the cave, each character is 5 meters square, which is very spectacular.

Longdong Temple, located at the foot of the east side of Mount Cisse, is the site of the Tang Dynasty. 1986 has been partially repaired. According to legend, there is a peony flower left over from the Ming Dynasty in the temple.

The dedicated road for Mount Cisse 1.7km runs from the archway down to the top of the mountain.

[Landscaping] Since 1962, the Municipal People's Government has organized citizens to plant trees on Cisai Mountain in a planned way. Now there are pine trees, cypresses and peach trees all over the mountain. In warm spring, the peach blossoms around the Peach Blossom Cave are in full bloom, which is in harmony with the waves in Jiang Tao, and the scenery is charming.

Daoshi House: Daoshi House is located on the east side of the foot of Cisai Mountain. Historically, Kyoto, Xiling County, Tufu Town, Chuxiong Town, Daoshifu Town, shishi city and Huangshi City were all located here. During the Han, Jin, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it was once a prosperous political, economic and cultural center town. 1On the Mid-Autumn Festival night in August, 935, the Japanese army, navy and air force stormed the Xisaiguan Pass, which made Daoshi House, a thousand-year-old town, in ruins. Now there is no trace of the ancient town.

[Ancient money pits] Although the ancient town of Daoshifu has disappeared, the discovery of six ancient money pits here can prove its ancient prosperity.

The first time was in the 26th year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1598), a golden cellar and funerary objects of a tomb were discovered.

The second time, in the seventh year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1634), a money cellar was found, which was full and the money wire was rotten.

The third time, in the spring of Longjiazi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1744), a money cellar was discovered. This mound is two or three miles long and it takes months to dig.

The fourth time, in the thirty-third year of the Republic of China (AD 1944), a cellar of copper coins was found, which was installed by the Japanese invaders.

The fifth time,1May, 955, the hydraulic headquarters of Daye Iron and Steel Plant discovered the silver cellar, and 292 silver ingots were unearthed, weighing 133.38 kg.

For the sixth time, when1967165438+1October 15 repaired the lower dike of Cisai Mountain, it was found that there were nearly 300,000 Jin of square-hole copper coins in the Qian cellar of the Song Dynasty.

The above six discoveries all took place in the east of Cisse, near the former residence of Lv Wende, a Wei official in the Song Dynasty. The first four discoveries are only documented, and the last two discoveries are proved by a large number of physical objects. The last rare discovery was during the Cultural Revolution. Except for 1000 kilograms left by the cultural relics department, the rest were transported to Wuhan smelter for destruction, which is really a rare thing. According to the legend of villagers who have lived in Master Tao for many years, there are nine money cellars buried at the foot of Mount Cisse. According to this legend, there are still three cellars buried underground.

After liberation, ancient tombs were found many times near Cisse.

Up to now, the head color of mount cisse is still the blood mark of that year "; Gu Yan's: "There were hundreds of battles in front of Mount Cisse, and the soldiers were glorious in those days."

[Ancient Battlefield] Because of the steep cliffs and steep waters, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and relying on the rolling Huangshan Mountain, it has become a strategic place to defend the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. There have been 100 wars here in history.

[Sun Ce attacked Huang Zu] In the winter of the fourth year of Jian 'an (AD 199), Sun Ce sent troops to attack Huang Zu in order to meet the needs of Chou He's westward expansion to kill his father. He fought a fierce battle in Mount Cisse and then attacked Xiakou. The whole campaign won Huang Zu's wife, seven men and seven women, six thousand warships and a mountain of wealth. Mount Cisse became the territory of Sun Shi.

After Sun Ce's death, Huang Zu often invaded Mount Cisse, and Sun Quan also conquered Huang Zu three times, which made Mount Cisse smoke continuously. Wu people set up the key guards of "crossing the river with iron locks". In the winter of the fifth year of Xianning in the Jin Dynasty (AD 279), the national soldiers were divided into five roads. The generals of the Jin army and Tang Bin drifted down the river bottom and fought fiercely in the east behind the magnetic plug mountain, which was "surrendered" by Hao. The separation of the three countries is over.

In the 11th year of the Yuan Dynasty (A.D. 135 1), Xu Shouhui, a peasant leader, built a heavily guarded camp on Mount Cisse, which was later destroyed by Buyan Tiemu. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, on the way to Nanjing, Li Zicheng took Fuchikou, which was defeated by the enemy, and then took Cisai Mountain to southern Hubei. In the third year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1853), in March, Hong Xiuquan led the Taiping Army to abandon Wuchang East, defeated the pursuers of the Qing generals in Cisaishan and Daoshifu, and made Nanjing East its capital. In the second year, the Taiping Army marched westward, and in the third year, the Taiping Army and the Qing Army fought for Wuhan, and they all fought fiercely in Mount Cisse.

19381October 8, the 74th, 82nd and 93rd divisions of the Kuomintang fought fiercely with the Japanese invaders for five days and nights, and the Japanese army suffered heavy losses. This is the last large-scale war on Mount Cisse.

In addition, Emperor Wu of Jin attacked Huan Xuan at the end of Jin Dynasty, Xiao Daocheng fought against Shen You in Southern Dynasties and Song Dynasty, and Cao Wanggao returned to Huaixi in Tang Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, all of which left a bloody battle in Cisai Mountain.
