Introduction to attractions in Nankunshan Ecological Tourism Zone

About half a kilometer away from Nankunshan Tourism Center, there is a small river. There are strange rocks everywhere in the river. There are seven small pools in a row, and there is a large pool upstream of the small pools. The bottom of the big water pool is crystal clear, and groups of small fish are swimming around. There are two large red and blue stones on the edge of the pool with patterns on the edges, which are shaped like skirts. They are called Luo skirt stones. There is also a large stone in the river that looks like a mirror stand, called the Dressing Mirror Stone. Next to the dressing mirror stone, there is a small round pool called the makeup remover pool. This big water pool is one of the scenic spots in Nankun Mountain - Fairy Pool. The seven small pools are called Qixianchi. Because there are many strange rocks here, literati and poets named the scenery "Wonderful Stone River". There is a myth and legend about it: It is said that in ancient times, the seven fairies in the sky were envious of the beautiful scenery on earth. Ignoring the ban, he descended secretly. On this day, the fairies came to Nankun Mountain to travel. It was midsummer and the heat was unbearable. They saw a stream deep in the jungle, with waterfalls of flying flowers and rolling silver waves, so they thought of playing in the water to wash themselves. The local mountain gods and river gods saw that the fairies wanted to play in the water, so they pleased them and built seven small pools and one large pool with stone barriers for them to bathe and play together. The seven fairies took off their makeup, each occupied a pool, and washed themselves to their heart's content. They also gathered in the big pool to chase each other and play in the water. Laughter echoes in the valley. They were so happy that seven days passed before they knew it. The Queen Mother saw the seven fairies descending to earth privately and dared not return for seven days, so she sent the gods to capture them. The God of Heaven was ordered to find the seven fairies above the Shihe River. Seeing that the seven fairies were so proud that they had forgotten to return home, they shouted: "The Queen Mother has a decree for me to capture you and bring you back to the palace!" Suddenly, the sky became dark and the earth became dark, with lightning and thunder. The fairies had no time to put on their clothes, so they were captured by the gods and taken back to the heavenly palace. The clothes and dressing mirrors that were sent away became the skirt stones and dressing mirror stones. Today, the outline of the frame is still clearly discernible.

With this wonderful legend, Fairy Lake has become a fascinating place for people. Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, groups of Nankun girls go to the makeup remover pool to play in the water and wash their faces with the water in the makeup remover pool. It is said that this can make girls look fairer and more delicate. In the past dynasties, most girls in Nankun Mountain were beautiful, maybe it was because of the fairy water in the makeup remover pool? There is a "Seven Star Pier" in Nankun Mountain. There is a myth and legend about the origin of this person's name: It is said that a long time ago, the seven fairies heard that Nankun Mountain on earth is better than heaven and is a summer resort. One day, the seven fairies asked the Queen Mother to let them visit the human world. The Queen Mother asked puzzledly: "Heaven is so good, why do you still need to visit the earth?" The seven fairies replied in unison: "Don't you always say that seeing is better than hearing a hundred times? Let's go to Nankun Mountain to broaden our horizons!" After that, The seven fairies knelt down in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother had no choice but to take a leave of absence. The seven fairies soared into the clouds and mist, and arrived at the beautiful Nankun Mountain in the blink of an eye. I saw undulating mountains, green bamboos, towering ancient trees, suspended waterfalls, and the sound of birds chirping. The Seven Fairies lingered, so the Queen Mother issued an edict to beat the gong to find the Seven Fairies. The seven fairies reluctantly left Nankun Mountain after hearing the gong urging them to return.

The seven fairies walked around, and when they took a foothold, seven hills actually grew. People named these seven hills "Qixing Dun". Xiaoshan Bulie is a bit like the Big Dipper in the sky. "Star" and "Xian" are homophonic, so it is also called "Qixing Dun". Later, a reservoir was built at Qixingdun, which is now "Changxing Lake". There is a mountain at the junction of Longmen, Zengcheng and Conghua counties. From a distance, it looks shrouded in mist and towers into the sky. It is Tiantangding, the main peak of Nankun Mountain.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there were no high mountains in Nankun Mountain. One year, a huge water dragon came from the northeast to the south and arrived at Nankun Mountain. This water dragon spits out a huge amount of water every year in Nankun Mountain. The floods continue to rise and the farmland is flooded all year round. It is difficult for the people to live anymore and they are preparing to go down the mountain. The news of the victims of the Nankunshan people soon reached the emperor. After the emperor learned about the murder in the world, he couldn't eat or sleep every day. He wanted to go to Nankun Mountain to control this evil water dragon and get rid of the harm to the people.

One day, the emperor said goodbye to his wife and beloved son, put on his sword and descended to the world, and came to Nankun Mountain. After the emperor left, mother and son waited every day, looking forward to the emperor's return and reunion every month. Winter turned to spring, and the Emperor never came home. One day, a crane flew to the world and brought bad news: the emperor fought fiercely with the water dragon, and the water dragon was killed. The emperor was exhausted and poisoned by the venom spewed by the water dragon. When the mother and son heard this, they fainted on the spot. Soon, the two woke up, hurriedly packed their luggage and went down to earth, and came to Nankun Mountain to find the emperor's tomb.

The mother and son traveled through mountains and rivers, climbed up rocks, passed through ancient forests, and waded through streams. They saw towering ancient trees and grass everywhere. The emperor's tomb was nowhere to be found. The mother and son hurriedly called out loudly, The shouts echoed in the mountains and valleys.

This shout moved the mountain god, who turned into an old father-in-law, came to the mother and son, and said, "Come with me!"

The old father-in-law took the mother and son to the highest mountain. superior. On the top of the peak, a tall and big stone rises from the ground and reaches into the sky. The old father-in-law pointed at the big stone and said: "This is the Emperor's Stone, and it is also the emperor's tomb stone." After saying that, the old father-in-law disappeared in a breeze.

When mother and son saw the tomb stone, they threw themselves in front of the stone and cried bitterly. At this time, the son cried and said to his mother: "Mom, every year during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival, we go down to the earth to worship our father. One is in the sky and the other is on the earth. It is inconvenient to come and go. If we work together to pick up soil and fill the mountain, we will keep filling this mountain. If the mountain is built up to heaven, then you can worship it morning and night.

The mother accepted her son's suggestion and continued to fill the mountain with soil every day.

The mother and son's actions once again moved them to understand the mountain god. The mountain god once again turned into the old man and came to the mother and son and said: "The emperor does good deeds and serves the people." The mountain god has long known about getting rid of harm. "At this moment, the old father-in-law turned into a breeze and disappeared. After the old father-in-law left, the tomb stone on the mountain suddenly rose, higher and higher, until it reached the top of heaven and became a big mountain. After this, Mother and son no longer have to go down to earth to worship the Emperor's Stone. Instead, they pay incense and worship to the Emperor's Tomb Stone in heaven. Later, people called this mountain "Tiantian Ding". You can still see this big stone. Deep in the bamboo forest of Nankun Mountain, there is a canyon. At the end of the canyon, there is a cliff with "Three Characters of Chuanlong Gorge" written by the famous calligrapher Qin Esheng.

< p>Note that the mountain spring flows out of a stone cave shaped like a dragon's head and flows down into the deep pool, which is a spectacular sight. Standing on the pavilion next to the gorge, you can still feel the cool breeze blowing in the middle of the summer.

Chuan. Longxia, formerly known as Shixia Mountain. Legend has it that there was a severe drought in the Shixia Mountain area. The fierce sun burned the rocks on the mountain, and the bamboos and trees were about to wither and turn yellow. All the mountain residents complained in distress. After discussion, the elders of the village gathered together men, women and children to burn incense and pray for rain at the foot of Shixia Mountain. By chance, a god passed by on a cloud and saw the tragic situation in the world, so he went back to heaven to report the matter to the king of heaven. When he arrived at the East China Sea, he sent an order to the Dragon King to rescue the mountain people. Soon, the Dragon King sent a Sichuan Water Dragon to carry out the order. Then, the Sichuan Water Dragon leaped out of the sea and hit the flaming boulders violently. Suddenly, there was thunder and lightning. Suddenly, dark clouds descended. Then the rain fell, and the river water dragon also turned into a waterfall, which relieved the mountain people from the suffering of drought. From then on, Shixia Mountain was covered with green trees and green bamboos. The place was named "Chuanshuilong", and Shixia Mountain was also called "Chuanlongxia". Four kilometers west of Nankunshan Town, there is a scenic spot called Guanyin Shangshui. It is located in a mountain stream with a three-level waterfall. Next. At the bottom of the waterfall, there is a white stone statue like Guanyin sitting quietly in the green pool. Visitors can vaguely see this stone Guanyin through the water gauze. There is a myth about this scenic spot:

It is said that a long time ago, the goddess Guanyin came to Yekun Mountain to "see all the beauty of Nanshan". One day, she came to a place called Youlu Cave and saw the stream falling again and again, forming the formation. The three-level waterfall then poured into a deep pool, which was more interesting than the Lushan Waterfall. So, she sat on the rock behind the water gauze, placed a cup to enjoy the water, and stayed there for a long time. When she left, she used the clone technique. , leaving an idol and a golden cup containing water. This golden cup has great magical powers. When there is a lot of water in the stream, it can hold the excess. If there is less water in the stream, the waterfall will not be spectacular enough, and the water stored in the golden cup will overflow, leaving the waterfall as normal. It is said that a greedy man once dived into a deep pool to steal the golden cup, but he could see it but couldn't get in; once he got in, he could see it but couldn't touch it; but after touching it, he couldn't get in. I couldn't get out. Because I was greedy and went in to steal the cup, it would be a disaster, and no one dared to steal it again.
