Tianzhu temple scenic spot

Tianzhu Temple is a thousand-year-old temple and one of the oldest temples in southern Zhejiang. According to "Yongjia County Records", "Tianzhu Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty and rebuilt in the Tang Zhenyuan period". It is one of the five largest temples in Xianyan Temple in the west of Rhoda, with a history of 1500 years, and is known as the 26th blessed land in the world.

One of the "Four Spirits of Yongjia", Zhao Shixiu, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, has a special liking for this place. His poem Sitting in a Cold Spring at Night is very famous: many people are cultivated, and the moon is near the peak. The feeling in the building is ringing, and the pool is late at night. Pure and inhuman, empty to see the Buddha's heart. But I found a place to stay, and the wind grew in the pine forest. It refers to the green scenery beside the cold water spring and the bright moon shining in front of Maitreya Peak; The Buddha is quiet when he burns the clock, and it is more like sitting at home at night. The whole poem is quite Zen. The construction of hydropower stations should also start from the "beautiful waterfall".

Beauty Waterfall is also called "Baishui Beauty Waterfall". She used to have many faces. When the weather is clear, the beautiful waterfall shows her charming side. Because the water flows straight into the valley all the year round, the waves are constantly splashing along the cliff, just like a fairy scattering flowers, so it is called "Beauty Waterfall". Meng Haoran, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, went to Yueqing in the winter of 73 1. When the ship sailed into the mouth of Oujiang River, he witnessed the beautiful waterfall and happily wrote: "Yu Yu is adjacent to the shark room, and people are connected with the island." A beautiful sentence, describing the beauty of the waterfall. In addition, Ren Mei Waterfall can also be used as a sign to identify whether the ships coming and going from the East China Sea have arrived in Wenzhou.

Beauty Waterfall also has her terrible side. Every time it rains heavily, flash floods and floods, houses are washed away, fertile fields are flooded and people are hurt. People hate her and call her a beauty freak. There is such a ballad circulating in Yongqiang area: the beautiful waterfall on Rhoda Mountain and the Shiro shirt with flowing water; The heavy rain came, draining thousands of feet, and ten thousand mu of fertile land was devastated.

After liberation, under the enthusiastic call of building a new China, Yongqiang people, under the organization of the government, are determined to thoroughly control the drought and flood disasters. At the beginning of 1958, Yongqiang District Committee put forward the grand plan of building white hydropower station according to the requirements of the masses.

Bai Hydropower Station was built under a waterfall with a storage capacity of 4.46 million cubic meters. Since the power station started construction in April 1958, more than 20,000 youths and people have been fighting on Rhoda day and night under the banner of "conquering Rhoda" and "conquering beautiful waterfalls". In that era of "man can conquer nature", people completed the construction of power station with infinite strength and firm confidence. 195910 June 16 officially generated electricity. Yongqiang people have realized the dream of "lighting without oil" for generations. From the late 1950s to the early 1960s, more than ten reservoirs, such as Tianhe and Shuang 'ao, were built at the eastern foot of Rhoda Mountain.

The story of the hero's victory over the beauty waterfall is widely circulated. 1960 Red Flag, China Youth Daily, Zhejiang Daily, South Zhejiang Popular and other newspapers and magazines all reported it. Yongqiang people have made outstanding contributions to the construction of reservoirs and power stations.
