Qifeng fahai

According to legend, when Master Fahai killed the White Snake Empress with the Leifeng Pagoda, the Tathagata accepted Fahai's mord, demoted to seek treasure to build a temple, and turned evil into good. French kelp travels around with young monks. When he came to a place miles north of One Happy and Fifty, he found a mountain towering into the sky. Master Fahai took off his cassock and covered the seven peaks, which are now the seven peaks. So, they built a temple in the hinterland of the mountainside, named Yunchan Temple, commonly known as Yuntang Temple. After the completion of Yuntang Temple, incense flourished.

As early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, China people in the Central Plains called the residents in the south of the Yangtze River basin who were different from their own cultural customs "Man" or "Man Jing". "Jing" outlines the region where barbarians live, which is equivalent to today's Hunan and Hubei regions. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Chinese civilization expanded, and barbarians became more and more confined to some fixed areas. During the Western Han Dynasty, in the mountainous area west of Dongting Lake, there lived an ancient coiled python with a dog as its totem. The Western Han government set up Wuling County there, so it was also called Wu Lingren. In today's western Hubei and eastern Sichuan, there are Alin military barbarians with the white tiger as their totem, also known as Ba Man or Ba County South Military Barbarian; In the middle and lower reaches of Jialing River in Sichuan today, there is also a barbarian named Banmudun. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, all barbarians fought against the Eastern Han regime.

During the split of the Sixteen Countries in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, large-scale wars often occurred between the Huaihe River Basin and the Hanshui River Basin, and the original residents of the Jianghuai River Basin and Hanshui River Basin were often forced to move southward because of the war, resulting in a large number of open spaces in these areas, which were also weak administrative control areas of the North and South regimes. As a result, the barbarians who originally lived in Nanjun (where Jiangling, Hubei Province is now located) and Jiangxia County took the opportunity to migrate widely to the north and east, occupying the barren land formed by the above-mentioned war and population exile.

In the process of barbarian migration, Suizhou area is an important passage today, and its southwest, northwest and northern mountainous areas are ideal places for barbarian migration, so it has become one of the areas where barbarians are relatively concentrated. During the Southern Song Dynasty and the Qi Dynasty, there were many "Zuo counties" here. For example, Anzuo County in the north is in the northwest of Suizhou City, and Linping County, one of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of Zuo Jun County in Dong 'an, is 40 kilometers northeast of Suizhou City. This shows that these places are inhabited by barbarians. Many barbarian leaders are surnamed Tian. According to the fourth volume of Suizhou Annals of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, there is a mountain named Manjian Mountain 75 kilometers northeast of Suizhou City and Gucheng Mountain 85 kilometers north, commonly known as Tianwangzhai, which may be a relic where barbarians once lived or moved.

The wall of Tianwangzhai was built on the site of the Great Wall of Chu. This wall is 5-7 meters high and 2 feet wide. It has shooting holes and observation holes, and seven doors, especially the south gate. It is magnificent and consists of towers and crocks. There is a beacon tower outside the south gate. The stockade was not built at one time.

At the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, a rebel army gathered a thousand people in Tianwangzhai to fight against the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty.

During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there lived a big family named Dai in the stockade. Daijia has been industrious and well-managed for generations. During Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, farmland and merchants spread all over Hubei and Henan provinces, accumulating more wealth. In order to defend their homes and protect hospitals, the Dai family set up an armed force to station troops for training. In the late Qing dynasty, social unrest. Daoguang, who traveled incognito for a year, was trapped on the road from Henan to Hubei via Tongbai Mountain. Dai used a powerful family soldier to escort the emperor across the border and won the gratitude and trust of the emperor. Later, after years of drought, it was difficult for the treasury to provide food for the people. The court borrowed food from Daijia to help the victims tide over the famine. Daijia provided a large amount of food to the imperial court, and at the same time opened warehouses to distribute food, providing food for the hungry free of charge. In order to reward Dai Jia's behavior, Daoguang gave Dai Yaotang, the principal of Dai Jia's family, a flower feather, a title of Chitose Dusi, a quasi-built "official pavilion" and a roadside monument of "Civil servants get off the sedan chair and military officers get off the horse". In the hall of Dai Li Jiacang Mansion, a plaque of "Dushuo Mansion" with a height of 1 m and a length of 1.8 m was presented. In the days of war, Daijiatun village was chartered to recruit soldiers for self-defense. At this time, Dai Jia's reputation was in full swing. Therefore, Tongbai Mountain, with an altitude of 10 10 meters, was built along the dangerous city wall, and the main peak was built with the "Yinluan Temple" (current site). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the "Palace" and barracks were expanded and strengthened on the original site of Tianwangzhai, named Anhezhai. According to the existing stone tablet records, the local people still use the name Tianwangzhai (see Suizhou record).

19 13 In mid-April, Bai Lang led the rebel army to occupy Tianwang Village, and won several battles in Suizhou and Tangxian (tanghe county) and other places, rapidly developing thousands of people. Bai Lang's activities were valued and supported by Sun Yat-sen and Huang Xing, and he sent revolutionaries to join Bai Lang's rebel army to help plan strategies, and then moved to other places (see Baofeng County Records).

In modern times, bandits, infertile people and monks live in villages. By the 1970s, no one had lived here for a long time, only herders, herb gatherers, some tourists and donkeys visited. Now there are only ancient village walls and some houses left in the village.

Tianwangzhai Geography and Surrounding Scenery

Tianwangzhai is located in Tongbaishan Ancient City Mountain at the junction of Henan Province and Hubei Province. It belongs to the branch of Dabie Mountain, the western section of Huaiyang Mountain. It is the third peak of Tongbai Mountain, with steep mountain and peculiar peak shape. There are nine hills in the village, and the wall of the village fluctuates like the Great Wall. The village area is about 1.5 square kilometers.

The main peak has the "Golden Temple" (the current site) and the advanced spring pool named Ma Yin Pool, which is inexhaustible; There are thousands of cliffs in the east, and there is a hole like the moon, called Yueeryan; There is a drum platform in the northeast, and the huge stones stand obliquely out of the village; There is an eagle's beak in the west, spreading its wings in the air like a giant eagle; The non-Yunfeng height1018m in the northwest of Zhai Zhai is the highest peak in Zhai Zhai. There is Longtan on the peak, which does not dry up all year round. There is a hole halfway up the mountain, and no one dares to explore it. There is a stream in the village, which runs all the year round. Below the stream is a deep pool. According to the villagers, there are huge salamanders in the pool.

Zhaizi is Taibaiding, the main peak of Tongbai Mountain, 20 kilometers northwest, and water curtain cave Scenic Area, 8 kilometers northeast and 4 kilometers north, where Tianwang once raised horses.

There is no wind crib in the West Valley of Tianwangzhai, with cliffs on three sides and only one bird path to reach. There is a big stone in it, and the crack is less than two feet. Tourists will enter sideways, and the risk is unique. During the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, rich people wore fierce mountains and hid in this place, holding guns every day. At that time, bandits in the mountains got up and dared not commit this crime. It can be said that no one guards the gate. Every time the wind drums the mountain, the lights on the peak remain the same. According to an ancient legend, there is a treasure that can protect the peak from the wind, and the lonely peak is silent. This is actually a good place to cultivate monasteries (see Baiyun Mountain Record). In the east of the village, there is the legendary treasure of the Spring and Autumn Period-Sui Houzhu (the old "easy-going" entry in Ci Hai: "Sui Houzhu, the treasure of Bianhe, is precious, so it is easy-going." ) the lost mountain stream.

The Present and Future of Tianwangzhai

Due to historical reasons, despite hundreds of years of ups and downs, the stockade is still well preserved, and only the villagers who graze and the people who collect medicines occasionally come to visit. In this era of market economy, Tianwangzhai has not been developed. The villagers under the stockade still live a leisurely pastoral life, planting crops, hunting, and planting cash crops such as fungus and mushrooms during the slack season. Wanhe Town, located in Taibaiding Scenic Area of Tongbai Mountain in Sui County, belongs to the ancient Yiyang area and is the birthplace of Yiyang drum. Sheikh in Wanhe Town is the most lively center in the market, with an ancient theater built during the Qianlong period. The theater was built in the 32nd year of Qing Qianlong. It was damaged during the Cultural Revolution and was once restored after the Cultural Revolution. According to the memories of the local elderly, the Opera House has always been a place where residents from dozens of places in Fiona Fang go to the market to watch plays. Troupes from Henan, Zaoyang and other places will perform here every major festival or twelfth lunar month. Now it's in ruins.
