Introduction:

When it comes to cave scenic spots, I believe most tourists will think of "Guilin". Yes, "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world" and has long been famous at home and abroad. However, many tourists think that "Guilin landscape" refers to the mountains and rivers of Guilin, but this is not the case. Guilin landscape is the general term for Guilin's tourism resources.

Among them, Reed Flute Cave, one of the most famous tourist caves in China, has become a karst cave scenic spot in China. typical representative.

Because there are many karst cave scenic spots in Guilin, and each of them is famous, we tend to ignore other cave scenic spots around us, not because they are not amazing enough, but because we do not look away too much. In fact, there is a karst cave scenic spot at the junction of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang provinces. It is not only the largest karst cave group in East China, but it has also been a tourist attraction as early as the Han Dynasty, that is, more than 2,000 years ago. It is located in Shilong Mountain, Guangde City, Xuancheng City, at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces, and is one of the first batch of national 4A scenic spots - Tai Chi Cave.

Guangde Taiji Cave is an underground cave group of limestone caves. It is a karst cave with a total area of ??140,000 square meters and a cave length of more than 5,400 meters. It is the largest karst cave group in East China. The caves are divided into upper cave, middle cave, big cave, water cave and sky cave. There is water in the cave and the caves are connected, forming a mysterious, majestic and beautiful natural landscape. There are more than 700 stalactites in the cave, which are full of dazzling scenery and vivid images, which makes people marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature. A 750-meter-long underground Milky Way can be rafted, which is a unique sight and makes people linger. Therefore, it is known as the "Southeast" It has the reputation of "the first cave", and is also praised as "I don't look at the mountains after returning from Huangshan Mountain, and I don't look at the caves after a Tai Chi tour"!

We all know that most scenic spots in China have been renovated in the later stage. With the support of science and technology and the intensification of publicity, they have become popular tourist attractions. Tai Chi Cave, on the one hand, has done a good job here without too much human intervention. Instead, it has tried its best to restore the original ecological scenery here, so that tourists who step into it can still feel why it was here more than 2,000 years ago. It can become an ideal tourist destination for people.

Taiji Cave has become a tourist attraction, which can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. At that time, it had become a tourist attraction that people yearned for. During the Song and Ming dynasties, it became famous and was regarded as a wonder on earth. These are not groundless rumors, but are based on facts. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Taiji Cave has become a tourist destination for literati and dignitaries. Three generations of emperors, including Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, all visited here, and there are still traces of their remains. Can be found. On the sky wall of Taiji Cave and on the rock carvings inside the cave, there are precious calligraphy works by literati from all dynasties. It has been found that there are ten ancient poems and three ancient travel notes of more than 10,000 words that praised Taiji Cave. Fan Zhongyan, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, left a calligraphy treasure "Xian Ranyan", and the inscriptions of Wu Tong's spring tour in the Ming Dynasty are still clearly visible today. Feng Menglong of the Ming Dynasty called "Guangde Burial (Taiji Cave), Qiantang River Tide, Leizhou Drum Changing, and Mirage" as "the four wonders in the world".

The three characters "Taiji Cave" were written by Wu Tongchun, the magistrate of Guangde in the Ming Dynasty, in April of the Yin year of Wanli. It is said that Taishang Laojun, who traveled to famous mountains and rivers, passed by this cave and refused to return. His immortal face was turned into stone and stayed in the cave forever. Therefore, there is a poem "Only because of this cave, the world is amazing, and he lingers for tens of thousands of years." Taiji Cave got its name.
