According to Lingshi County Records (twenty-ninth edition of Wanli in the Republic of China): Gypsum Mountain is opposite to Jianyang Mountain, which produces more gypsum and is good, hence the name. There are three rocks on the mountain: upper, middle and lower. The peaks stand tall and the valleys are deep. When you climb them, you will be very chic and strange. Entering a foreign land is a scene of Lingshi. ? According to Lingshi County Records (twenty-three years of the Republic of China): Gypsum Mountain is 70 miles southeast of the county seat, opposite Jianyang Mountain and connected to Qinyuan in the east. It is 10 mile high and occupies 15 mile. There are upper, middle and lower rocks with steep peaks and deep valleys, which produce gypsum. Renyi River originated here, with several caves, gypsum dripping into the rock, a Buddha statue and a dragon cave on the left, which will not dry up in winter and summer. ?

Speaking of gypsum mountain, it is natural to mention it? Qin Ling ancient road? . Gypsum Mountain is famous for its ancient road in Qin Ling. Qin Ling Ancient Road is a mountain path from Lingshi to Qinyuan via Gypsum Mountain. It starts from Qin Jin Ancient Road in Renyi Village of Lingshi in the west, passes through the abdomen of gypsum mountain, and goes straight to Yuyuer Spring in Qinyuan, connecting Fenhe River Basin and Shangdang Basin. It's about ten miles in gypsum mountain. The ancient road in Qin Ling can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty, with a history of more than 2,200 years. In ancient times, monks who went to worship in gypsum mountain often kowtowed step by step from Renyi ancient town until Tianzhu Temple in gypsum mountain.

In the past, the ancients used to walk on their shoulders, and at most they used carriages or livestock instead of walking. At the beginning of Han Dynasty, Qin Jin Ancient Road was located at the crossroads of traffic between north and south in Shaanxi, with a wide road surface and a rocky slope. Horses and chariots can pass, while the Qin Ling Ancient Road is a shortcut for only people to pass. Before the Republic of China, although this road was difficult to walk, there were always pedestrians. More people leave, and there will be the footprints of celebrities, sages and even emperors and generals.

The ancient road in Qin Ling has added a strong humanistic charm and cultural color to Gypsum Mountain. Legend has it that both Han Xin's conquest of Zhao and Liu Bangzheng's generation took the ancient road. Qin Ling Ancient Road is located at the intersection of Qin Jin Ancient Road and Shangdang Basin, which is also a strategic place. According to Lingshi County Records (twenty-ninth edition of Wanli in the Republic of China),? Xiaowan Mountain, located in Shili, Gypsum Shandong, is said to be the residence of Emperor Xiaowen, hence its name. ?

It is said that in the seventeenth year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (439), Emperor Xiaowen marched south to Qi, crossed gypsum mountain, climbed Dongfeng, rebuilt and expanded Wendi's palace, and wrote it himself? Longmen? In addition, Dongfeng held an important meeting and the decision to move the capital to Luoyang became an important turning point in the history of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Because Emperor Xiaowen is stationed in the east wind, the gypsum Shandong peak is also called? Xiao Wenshan? Also known as? Erlongshan? .

In fact, it is also circulated among the people in Lingshi: in the eighth year of Lv Zhi's reign in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 180), Liu Heng left Tianjingguan via Shangdang Basin and entered Xiba in Chang 'an. Liu Heng built a simple palace at the top of Gypsum Mountain in Shandong Province, where he discussed such important matters as enthronement, public security and governing the country. In the autumn of the 13th year of the Great Cause of Sui Dynasty (6 18), Li Yuan, the son of Li Shimin, the king of Qin who stayed in Taiyuan, rose up against the Sui Dynasty and took charge of Lingshi. Under the guidance of the volcano god, he went south by the west side of Gypsum Mountain next to Jianyang Mountain, and secretly and quickly approached Huo Yi, who was both broken and heading for Chang 'an.

In the first year of Xiande in the later Zhou Dynasty (954), Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to rest at the foot of gypsum mountain, during which he played chess with Zhao Pu to discuss the world. In February of the second year of Kaibao (969), Song Taizu personally led Song Jun to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, but was defeated by his rebellion against the enemy chieftain and retreated to Huoyi. Zhao Pu, the prime minister, collected herbs in Gypsum Mountain to treat hair diseases. In the fourth year of the Tang Dynasty (769), Princess Hui Chong, the daughter of Li Yu in Tang Daizong, went out to marry Uighur, taking the ancient Qin Ling road under the gypsum mountain.

According to legend, Aoqi, the fifth son of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, went to the Dragon Palace privately, fell in love with the daughter of the mountain god of Xishan Mountain in Gypsum Mountain, and eventually turned into spring water, nourishing the daughter of the mountain god who turned into a peach tree day and night, leaving a magical and beautiful love story for future generations.

According to "Zhi Li Huo Zhou Zhi" (Daoguang five-year edition),? Fish River (now called Yuquan), eastward 120 Li, meets Qinyuan boundary. The highway connects Huozhou, Yueyang, Wuxiang and Zhao Cheng. The old ambition said: the mountains are dangerous and the forests are dense, and the taste is like gathering. In the fourth year of Wanli, it is planned to build a fort and set up a patrol inspection department, but. Nowadays, it has been safe for a long time, with dense residents and flat mountain roads, and it is no longer as sinister as it used to be. ? Therefore, until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 182 1 year), the ancient road in Qin Ling was still a major traffic artery, and Gypsum Mountain was famous for it.

On this trip, I drove from Xiaoyi to Lingshi County and approached Gypsum Mountain. Looking from a distance, the mountains are towering, the clouds are lingering, the sun is shining, and it is beautiful. Moving on, I saw the majestic mountain gate, carved with beams and painted with buildings, simple and spectacular. ? Gypsum mountain? Three golden characters are particularly dazzling. ? Castle peak turned into a sacred place, without saying anything, the temple greeted the four immortals with sound? Reading and understanding couplets is fascinating and intriguing. Cross the mountain gate, cross Yukou Village and step into the scenic spot. Welcome to gypsum mountain scenic spot? The green flower bed introduced me to the long-awaited fairyland on earth.

To visit gypsum mountain, there are two routes to choose from: one-day tour and deep tour. I chose a one-day tour for this trip. Mainly visited Tianhe-Hongye-Wolong-Ganlongguan-Long Yin Valley-Tianzhu 6 scenic spots.

Gypsum Mountain Scenic Area is invested and developed by Lingshi Tongyu Industrial Co., Ltd., and consists of Tianhe, Customer Service Center, Wolong, Hongye, Ganlongguan, Long Yin Valley, Huashiyan, Tianzhu, Reservoir Scenic Area and Baiyang River Camping and Adventure Area. The main scenic spots are 10. Walking on the gypsum mountain and strolling in the landscape area, you can not only appreciate the natural beauty of mountains, valleys, forests and flowing springs, but also appreciate the human landscape of Maoan Cave, famous temples with rugged rocks, secluded ancient roads and ancient temples. You can also experience the thrilling journey of climbing mountains, exploring forests and exploring heights, enjoying the scenery and realizing the Tao, which is pleasing to the eye and makes people linger.

Approaching the cultural square with dragons as the main body, you can see nine dragon-shaped pillars from Wen Tao, including bronzes, stones or bricks, tiles, wood, ceramics and paintings. Dragon totem? Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Da Zhuan, Xiao Zhuan, Li, Kai, Xing and Cao? Dragon wall? I feel that three religions and nine streams have a long history. Dragon culture? A song "Descendants of the Dragon" is sung in the heart, which makes people excited and passionate.

Close? Cream mountain red leaves? Witness the blue ocean, the mountains are full of red, the forests are soaked, the clusters of bright red are as dazzling as flowers, and one of the new eight scenic spots of Lingshi is realized? Cream mountain red leaves? There are shade, flowers in full bloom, and bright golden clouds like fire. Is it spring or autumn? Always haunting me.

Approaching Long Yin Academy, I feel the unique cultural charm and accumulation. The total construction area is 5000 square meters? There are five courtyards: painting and calligraphy studio, exhibition room, tea room, piano, chess, painting and calligraphy, and accommodation and leisure, which are places for literati to exchange ideas, learn calligraphy and show their skills. The Academy was founded in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and its former site was in Qianergou Village at the foot of Gypsum Mountain.

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the Academy was an inn on the ancient road in Qin Ling. In the early Tang dynasty, it was changed to an academy and named? Gudao Academy? (later renamed Long Yin Academy), which is very famous at the junction of Lingshi and Qinyuan. 1200 for more than 200 years, with the change of dynasties, the academy rose and fell, but the courtyard never collapsed. Unfortunately, in the twentieth year of Daoguang (A.D. 1940), the academy was burned to the ground by a gang of gangsters. Although the academy is located in a remote valley, it is located in the throat of Jinzhong leading to Shangdang, where celebrities and poets once stopped. According to legend, Wang Wei, Li Shangyin, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, Yu Qian, Fu Shan and other famous historical figures have set foot in the academy, or set up monuments and biographies, or recited poems, or inscribed poems, or played, leaving many little-known legends. Today, Long Yin Academy has been included in the list of intangible cultural heritage in Jinzhong.

Stepping on the aerial cable car is like entering a big laundry basket, hanging on a thick steel rope and slowly approaching the terminal halfway up the mountain with a big gear. Really? The wind is blowing on the soles of your feet, and the vast forest is just around the corner? . From the cable car, the dense forest looks like a big green umbrella, greener against the faint white fog, some like exquisite murals, and some like green carpets. Looking up, the strange peaks and rocks seem to be waiting for tourists.

Looking down, the winding path between the green trees is looming, and the short tourists are crawling on the mountain road like ants. In the distance, the gypsum mountain reservoir with a storage capacity of 4.8 million m3 is unobstructed, just like Tianchi Lake, which is beautiful. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery all the way and experienced an exciting and fun-filled trip to Abarar, which was quite wonderful.

Close to the cliff of sacrifice, do you realize? Watching the sunset glow on the cliff? The beauty of. There is a precipice outside the worse gate, Zuo Li precipice, facing the right abyss and overlooking Wan Ren; Pine strange cypress, planted in cliff gap; Haze and white clouds linger on the stone path. Walking here, but seeing Parthenocissus tricuspidata and people leaning against the wall, they are dizzy and scared, afraid to squint and leave their homes until they enter a worse place. There is a lot of talk about giving up the cliff. One is that people who climb cliffs need the courage to give up their lives. It is said that in ancient times, in order to thank the Bodhisattva, the dutiful son saved his mother's life, adjusted his pressure again and gave his life to report it. This cliff is dangerous, dry and has a very wide view. It coincides with the setting sun, the sunset glow is red, the fiery glow, the sparkling water waves, the pale cliffs and the thick green mountains blend together. Watching the sunset glow on the cliff? Said.

Climb the Nantianmen at an altitude of 1667 meters and look at the cloister-style double-decker pavilion, one of the landmark buildings in Gypsum Mountain. Do you feel condescending? Looking at the southern sky? The beauty of other mountains pales in the sky. Appreciating the beauty of mountains and rivers makes people in the mountains hazy and relaxed.

Approaching the Long Yin Valley, you can enjoy the valley scenery about 2.5 kilometers long. Peaks stand on both sides of the river, with dense trees and clear valleys. Long Yin Canyon is like a winding Wolong, which is called by local people? Longwo? Wolonggou It is also named because the stream in the ditch keeps humming like Wolong. Long Yingu? . Trekking in the primitive ecological environment, we have experienced the journey of taking the dragon road, climbing Longyan, entering the dragon cave, drinking Longquan, escaping from the dragon nest, touching the dragon beard, riding the dragon back, caressing the dragon forest and wagging the dragon tail. We can cultivate the dragon's nature, establish the dragon's heart and create the dragon's industry. We can enjoy the scenery everywhere.
