Brief introduction of Liuzhou Gu Ting

1, located in Yanghe new industrial zone in the northern suburb of Liuzhou. Like a big awl that stands out from the crowd, it broke into the blue sky at an altitude of 556 meters, more than 253 meters higher than the highest peak in Liuzhou (303 meters above sea level). Climbing to the top of Mount Gu Ting, commanding "all other mountains are dwarfed in the sky".

2. Liu Zongyuan, an outstanding thinker, politician and writer in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "My Last Brother Zong Yi": "The soul of the mountain is bleak, and tears flow across the river. The treacherous party, because the party did not leave the capital, lived more than 6 thousand miles away; I left Baiyue desolate, gaunt and poor for the rest of my life. Guiling malaria forest, black clouds hanging white; Welcome to the beautiful future of Dongting with spring scenery and water and sky. If you want to know the dream of acacia after that, you will grow up in Jingmen. "

He borrowed the horrible atmosphere of dark clouds rolling in Guilin before the rainstorm, which crushed the city and destroyed it, suggesting his bad living environment. "Guilin" in the poem is the so-called "Gu Ting". Why did "Guiling Mountain" become "Gu Ting Mountain"? According to research, Gu Ting is a mountain peak in the east of Liuzhou, which is more than 30 miles away from downtown Liuzhou. For example, climbing mountains and observing people's feelings are impossible without three or four days. To this end, Liu Zongyuan organized people to build several grass pavilions on the mountain for rest, shelter from rain and reading. Since then, these pavilions have been used by local people. With the passage of time, the title of "Guiling Mountain" was gradually replaced by "Gu Tingshan" and has continued to this day.
