There are miles of silver sand, and the bird path is folded, which is in harmony with the sky. And climbing to the peak, Zuo Heng (Mountain) is suspicious (9), and he is extremely far away, and he is in the clouds, detached from the dust. " The scenery is strange and many people yearn for it.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan had been to a place not far from the foot of Yangming Mountain, and wrote a famous book, You Huang Ji, which covered the source of Huang. The famous mountains in the motherland are mostly chosen by Buddhism. In and around Yangming Mountain, a monk temple was established in the Song Dynasty.

Legend of the name of Yangming Mountain

According to legend, in ancient times, it was an unknown place covered by clouds all the year round, and then two immortals broke out of this cave.

These two immortals are twin brothers. The elder brother's name is Zheng Yilang and the younger brother's name is Zheng Erlang. The two brothers are looking for dragons. The elder brother walks on the ground with a silver needle 1 feet long, and the younger brother walks in the earth with a copper coin the size of a button in his hand. Every three steps, the silver needle is inserted into the ground. If the silver needle is inserted into the eye of the copper coin, there is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.

Although the two brothers have the ability to penetrate the sky into the ground, they failed to break into this cloud-sealed fog lock one after another here. The two brothers burned candles and paper, and both of them bowed down to heaven and earth. "Is this a land of outstanding people, a famous mountain, or a treasure trove of Buddhist temples?" Please let us see it clearly, otherwise, we will die! " After praying for three days and three nights, I sincerely touched the Jade Emperor, and the white clouds and dense fog curled up and went away. Under the blue sky, I saw a "Huanglong" in the north and a "Qinglong" in the south. The two dragons occupied the ridge, and the first place was a huge "pearl", which turned out to be two evil dragons subdued by Dayu. What a "two dragons playing with pearls" place, it is a land of people, a land of immortals, and a treasure-house of Buddhist temples! The two brothers sighed once, knocked on the sky three times, and were about to leave, but they saw that the sun was shining elsewhere, and there was no sun shining here.

As soon as the two brothers discussed it, they simply did a good deed to the end, and they both knelt down and told the heaven to ask for the sun's light and heat. The Jade Emperor allowed them to play, sent the sun god down here, hung a lantern they carried with them over this piece of land, and named it "Yangmingshan". From then on, we first enjoyed the sunshine here. Yesterday, the Yongzhou government recorded: "The morning sun just came out and the mountain became clear, so did Yangmingshan ..."

The historical evolution of Yangmingshan region

At the end of primitive society, Yangmingshan belonged to the "Three Miao Countries" region. Xia, Shang and Western Zhou belong to Jingzhou. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it belonged to the south of Chu.

in the 26th year of Qin Shihuang (221 BC), the state of Chu was located in Changsha County, and Yangmingshan belonged to Changsha County. During the first emperor's period (244-221), Qinchi Road was built around the southeast side of Yangming Mountain, with a width of more than 5 feet, which is similar to today's river course (old records). In 1983, Zero (Ling)-Ning (Yuan) Highway was built along Qinchi Road.

In the sixth year of Yuan Ding, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty (111 BC), Lingling County was established, and Yangmingshan belonged to the Duke of Fuling County (now ningyuan county). According to "Yangming Mountain" reprinted in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty? The Records of the Ancestor's Rock contains: ... "The inscription on the newly opened road" "There is a Baiyun Temple in Yangmingshan in Yong (Zhou), which was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty ... Eighteen real people burned Dan and refined mercury, but their addresses still exist".

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, a temple, Baiyun Temple, was built here. The abbot of the temple was a monk named Zhi 'an sent by Liu Xie, the emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty (189-22 AD).

According to legend, the temples and temples in China in the past were mostly the personal actions of the emperor. Since Qin Shihuang broke the "Long Mai" in the world to ensure that his Qin family would be the emperor, emperors of all dynasties have been convinced that "being buried in the dragon's head gives birth to the son of heaven, being buried in the dragon's body gives birth to the prime minister, and being buried in the dragon's tail gives birth to the champion", and they have seized the famous mountains in the world to prevent the "real dragon's son of heaven" from appearing and robbing them of their country.

Baiyun Temple is located on the mountainside of Baiyunfeng, about 2 miles north of the peak of Yangming Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,5 meters. The mountains here are remote and remote, and the forests are deep and secluded. Not to mention the incense, even the rice and salt eaten by monks are hard-won, so there were not many monks coming and going in Baiyun Temple at that time, but emperors have kept this temple all the time. It is said that the food, rice, oil and salt eaten by monks are allocated by the state treasury, and troops are regularly sent to use their feet.

during the three kingdoms period, it belonged to Shu Han at first and then to Dongwu. In the first year of Sun Hao's Baoding (AD 226), Yangmingshan belonged to Benyang County, Lingling County. In the Yonghe period of Emperor Mu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (345-356), Benyang was changed to Benling.

in the Southern Dynasty, Liang Wudi Tianjian was in the 14th year (515), belonging to Quanling County, Lingling County.

In the Sui Dynasty, in the ninth year of Emperor Wendi's reign (598), Quanling County was changed to Lingling County, Lingling County was changed to Yongzhou General Administration, and Fuling was merged into Yingdao County, and Yangmingshan belonged to Yingdao County of Yongzhou General Administration. In the 13th year of Emperor Yangdi's great cause (617), Xiao Xian established Liang, and analyzed that Yingdao County was located in Liangxing County, and Yangmingshan belonged to Liangxing County in Lingling County.

In the Tang Dynasty, Liangxing County was changed to Tangxing County and Yantang County, and Yangming Mountain belonged to Yantang County of Lingling County.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it belonged to Ma Yin and Chu State first, then to Zhou Xingfeng, and later to Yan Xi County. Yangming Mountain is located in Yanxi County, Lingling County.

In the Song Dynasty, Yanxi was changed to ningyuan county, and Yangmingshan belonged to ningyuan county, Lingling County. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Baiyun Temple in Yangmingshan began to flourish. It was originally a place where immortals met. Since the temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty, some monks with profound morality in the temple not only refined and cast a "Nanping Evening Bell" that resounded thousands of miles, but also got the touch of immortals, and the avenue was successful, and the day soared. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Suddenly, it became a sensation in the world and became a famous temple at that time. Just in the Song Dynasty, monks built a temple on the granite slope at an altitude of 1357 meters on the south side of the top of Yangmingshan, named Yangmingshan Temple. Another temple was built in Yangming Mountain, formerly known as "Zhaochan Temple" (changed to "Xiema Temple" after 1515).

In the Yuan Dynasty, Yongzhou and Daozhou were changed to Yongzhou Road, Daozhou Road and Yangmingshan were subordinate to ningyuan county of Yongzhou Road.

in the Ming dynasty, in the first year of Hongwu (1368), the Taizu changed its road to a mansion, and Yangmingshan belonged to ningyuan county, Yongzhou. In the Zhengde period (151), Princess Xiuling, the third daughter of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Wuzong, went to Zhaochan Temple in Yangmingshan to "drive away monks, rest horses and build temples" in order to escape marriage. With the prestige of being a princess and the superior conditions of "imperial food" to live a carefree life, 18 nuns were quickly gathered in Xiema 'an.

In the second year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1524), there was a Ming monk in Hengzhou, whose name was empty, and the common surname was Tang, who took over Yangmingshan Temple as the abbot, in order to shave Zheng Xiufeng. In the sixth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1528), Zheng Xiufeng was sixteen years old, and he was named Zhencong, whose name was Xiufeng, and he was a monk. In the 29th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1551), Zheng Xiufeng closed the door and sat down. On August 15th, 31st, the Ming Dynasty's Nanwei King sent Sun Jubo and Yongyi scholar Jiang Xiangya to visit the ancestral temple in Yangming Mountain. Seeing that it was as beautiful as life, its claws were particularly long, so it prostrated itself in worship, helped each other to shave, and its clothes and shoes were solemn. Nirvana sat up and told Nanwei King. When King Nanwei of Ming Dynasty learned about it, he admired Zheng Xiufeng's hard work and integrity before his death, and even praised Zheng Xiufeng's "showing himself to the world", so the flying horse reported to play Emperor Jiajing. After Emperor Sejong of Jiajing heard about it, he was very moved. "Then he worshipped his seventh ancestor, and he was decent in the economy, so he changed the name of the temple to manjuji," and he also gave the temple association "Famous mountains are eternal, and living buddhas make thousands of dynasties"; King Nanwei will "reach the Yellow River bank in the east, Shiziling in the west, Sanjiangkou in the Antarctic, and Yulongqi in the north, which belongs to the national mountain, offering incense forever, avoiding giving people a gift." Since then, Yangmingshan Temple has been renamed manjuji. At this time, there are 9 temples and 18 temples in the whole Yangming Mountain. There are hundreds of monks and nuns. At the same time, the sham as the genuine is hidden. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were 48 officials here, and they were managed by districts. The office of officials in Yangmingshan was located in the upper reaches.

In the former Qing Dynasty, the official residence system was abolished, and the Yong Gui Li Yao Military and Civilian Mansion was set up in Shangliu Cave. Yangmingshan was under the jurisdiction of Yong Gui Li Yao Military and Civilian Mansion, and in the late Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou ningyuan county. In 3 years (1914), the abandoned house belonged to Hengyang Road. In the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), Hunan was divided into ten administrative supervision areas, and Yangmingshan was subordinate to the seventh administrative supervision area.

The whole story of the establishment of Yangmingshan County

Ever since, Yangmingshan has been majestic and steep, secluded in the border, where Han and Yao lived together. Before the Yuan Dynasty, there were more Yao people than Han people. It is located in the middle of southern Hunan, Guiyang in the east, Xintian in the southeast, Ningyuan in the south, Lingling in the southwest, Qiyang in the northwest and Changning in the northeast. It is about 75 kilometers wide from east to west, 65 kilometers long from north to south, and the main peak is 1624.8 meters above sea level. It has a wide area, complex terrain, traffic jams, and difficult to defend and attack. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Youliang led troops into this place to communicate with the Yao people, and to defend the danger. After a year, he was forced to conquer the warlord.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the northern and southern warlords were in melee, and the people were in poverty. In order to resist the oppression and exploitation of the government and the gentry, the peasant armed forces from all over the country took the opportunity to gather strength around Yangmingshan and prepare for armed riots. In 1915, Lu Fengsheng and Xiao Yugan set up the "Victory Hall" in Boluo Cave; Zhou Fengshan and

Xu Zilin set up a "national protection pavilion" in Feiyuan; Chen Feipeng and Li Rufeng set up "Heyitang" in Xuri Cave; Pan Shibao and Huang Wenqing set up "Longxing Pavilion" in Baishui Cave; In 1916, Zhou Wen, Deng Desheng and others set up a museum in Quanyijiang. In July of the same year, Zhao Xingfa, head of the Confederate Army, stationed in Lvgong Cave in the name of the defeated and incorporated team, and forced the guns of local regiment soldiers to be sent to the halls of various peasant armed forces, so that these peasant armed forces with only broadswords had guns and ammunition in their hands. In September, Wu Peifu, the northern military adviser, ordered Zhao Chunsen, the commander of Hengyang, to shoot Zhao Xingfa, the head of the Confederate army. When the peasant armed forces in various halls saw a bad situation, they immediately sneaked into the hinterland of Yangmingshan like someone commanding and dispatching.

In May 1926, when the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Hunan, the peasant movement was on the rise. Zhou Wen put forward slogans such as "Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry" and "Down with the history of corruption in the palace" to help local agricultural associations search and collect regiments to prevent guns and establish peasant self-guards. From June to October, 1927, Zhou Wen joined forces with farmers in Yangmingshan, and captured Ningyuan County for three times, including seven counties, including Linke Linwu, Xintian, Lanshan, Daoxian, Lingling and Jiahe, which made a great impact on southern Hunan.

The peasant armed forces in Yangmingshan attacked Kexian on a large scale, which frightened the ruling government at that time. In order to suppress the rebels in Yangmingshan area, in November of the 16th year of the Republic of China (1927), the Hunan provincial government designated Jiuyiba, Changji Mountain and Huayan River in Qiyang County, Xinluo Cave, Ganxiyuan and Sugarcane in Lingling County, and Long Qian, Fenghuang, Shixi and ningyuan county in it. The county government set up Shiguyuan at the beginning, and then moved to Baiguo City. After one year and six months, Feng Bi was appointed as the county magistrate. In the 19th year of the Republic of China (193), the Champions League was awarded again in June.

The primary task of setting up Yangming County is to unite local armed forces in neighboring counties to effectively eliminate and suppress peasant armed forces in China. In early 1928, Kuomintang reactionaries "encircled" the rebel army, and many rebel leaders defected and defected to the enemy. However, Zhou Wenyi did not hesitate to give military training to the rebel army, rectify military discipline, and prohibited disturbing the people. Set up an arsenal in Chakunyuan, and set up peasant associations in Baiguo City, Huangjiangyuan and other places. In March, 1928, Zhou Wen led his troops south, and attacked Sanyuanling and Baijiaping. The regiment soldiers were losing ground. Xiong Zhaoxian, the county magistrate of Ningyuan, heard the news and fled to Daoxian for help. On May 2th, he defeated the regiment soldiers who were aided by the county, and entered Ningyuan County, where Zhang Bang Anmin was posted. Immediately, he sent troops to the north to attack Xintian County, and the Xu Kexiang Department and the Tang Xi Department of the "suppression" corps pursued him.
