Lingxiu and Wuhua

"Before laughing in the south of the Yangtze River, Junshan is near Dongting Lake." (Huang Tingjian's "Climbing Yueyang Tower and Seeing Junshan in the Rain") The existence of Junshan adds infinite beauty and aura to the vast cloud dream.

Junshan is oval and consists of 72 graceful peaks, which are connected to form twelve "steamed stuffed buns". From a distance, it looks like a cross, like a green snail, dotted in a mirror-like cave, which is beautiful. Li Bai's famous phrase "Sweep the Ming Lake to open a jade mirror, Dan Qing paints Junshan" and Liu Yuxi's "Looking at Dongting Mountain in the distance, the silver plate is green with snails" vividly describe the unique features of Junshan. And when you board it and look at the vast Dongting, you can also embrace a lake of heroism, like the sea washing your chest, refreshing. Therefore, Wu, a writer in the Qing Dynasty, sighed, "This mountain has a Dongting and a lake, and its breadth is magnificent, which is better than governing Yueyang by county."

Junshan is surrounded by water, with mild climate and abundant rainfall, so it is also a vibrant natural kingdom. There are more than 30 kinds of songbirds and waterfowl such as grey gull, swan, sparrow, kingfisher, golden pheasant, fish swallow, oriole, cuckoo, turtledove, thrush and ribbon bird. In the corner of Xiangshui at the south foot, there is a silverfish. According to legend, the silver hairpin of the Queen Mother fell into Dongting. There is a kind of scarab with cracked tortoise shell on the mountain, which is not only an ornamental, but also a raw material for brewing famous tortoise and snake wine. Junshan is a beautiful wooden onion cage, competing with each other. The red leaves and green leaves of Junshan Mountain change all year round, and the ornamental value is no less than that of Beijing Xiangshan Red Leaves. Near the Dragon Snake Mountain, it is said that the golden laurel planted by Yang Yao covers the sky and the fragrance overflows the whole island. Junshan has many strange bamboos since ancient times, and its beauty has not diminished today: a thousand tears of bamboos make people dream; From a distance, there is no difference between the bamboos, which feel square and angular; Tortoise shell bamboo, the bamboo tube is shaped like a turtle's back, the lines are clear and dynamic, and it is like a group of turtles leading their necks up, full of vitality and beautiful patterns; Lohan bamboo, bamboo pole's lower nodes are dense and dense, suddenly changing, oblique to each other, just like eighteen arhats facing each other. According to legend, in ancient times, there was an old monk in Junshan who attracted Lohan by virtue. In recent years, due to the slow growth of bamboo, bamboo looks like a human face on the front and a human face on the side, so biologists identify it as a human-faced bamboo. Plum blossom bamboo, with deep grooves in the trunk, looks like plum blossoms; Shengyin bamboo, trumpet-shaped, small on the bamboo pole and large at the bottom. It was passed to monks as a trumpet, and its voice was unusual. Phoenix bamboo, with slender branches and leaves, is graceful and colorful, also known as Xiaoshun bamboo; Li Lianzhu, with the same body and different branches, has lush foliage, fluttering in the wind and rustling sound. Among them, two are like husband and wife holding hands, and three are like a harmonious family singing and dancing. According to folklore, it is the embodiment of Liu Yi and Dragon Girl. The solid water bamboo is solid in texture, and bamboo shoots are actually thick in mouth and abdomen, so many young men and women in Yueyang come to pick them in pairs before getting married, so as to hang Yuanyang pillow towels on their beds ... There are more than ten kinds of purple bamboo, nanzhu, Longzhu, hedgehog bamboo and long-eared Indocalamus, each with its own characteristics.

Junshan is also known as "Dongting Tea Island". Junshan tea has a long history. According to China's Tea Classic, the old monk "White Crane Real Man" in the early Tang Dynasty brought eight tea seedlings from other places, and there were tea trees in Junshan. Then it thrived under the unique conditions of Junshan and was listed as a tribute in the later Tang Dynasty. Successive dynasties attacked each other, and Qianlong stipulated that tribute should be paid to the court every year. According to legend, Junshan tea was one of the gifts that Princess Wencheng took with her when she got married in Tibet in the Tang Dynasty. In A Dream of Red Mansions, the eyebrow tea cooked by Laojun with wonderful jade and plum blossom snow is Junshan Yinzhen tea. Because Junshan tea is good, people in the past dynasties tried to name it with the best words: Baihe tea, Huangyu, Longlin, Yufeng, Dongting Spring, Junshanqing, Junshan Maojian and so on. There are two kinds of tea, one of which was rated as one of the top ten famous teas in China in 1957. Another new variety Junshan Yinzhen, 1956, bred in 1950s, won the gold medal in Leipzig International Fair, Germany, and was known as "gold inlaid jade". Junshan silver needle is not only a treasure in tea, but also interesting to appreciate when brewing. As thin as a silver needle; Bai Hao was completely exposed, and the buds were golden. Put it in a cup, pour the boiling water down, and the bud tip will face up and stand in the air. Then slowly sink into the bottom of the cup, such as a mass of bamboo shoots unearthed, bamboo shoots everywhere. At this time, apricot Ran Ran tea juice spread and floated like a cloud. If you continue brewing, you can see the tea buds three times and three times, which is beautiful.

Kunlun stone and seventy-two fairy snails

Perhaps it is precisely because of the strange shape and rich products of Junshan that people have to make the best imagination of its origin. It is said that it used to be the Kunlun stone in "Goddess of mending the sky": Nu Wa went through all the hardships to mend the sky at the top of Kunlun Mountain, found a five-colored gem, and made it into a molten slurry more beautiful than colorful clouds and softer than cotton, holding the hole in the sky with her hands. At this time, a sudden strong wind blew away the molten mud in her hand from the South China Sea, and blew down Dongting Lake, turning it into 72 peaks of different shapes. When Nu Wa arrived by tiger, the mountain peak was still soft. It is also said that it was made by seventy-two fairy snails in Dongting Lake: a long time ago, there lived seventy-two fairy snail girls in Dongting Lake who practiced for 9,999 years. One year, the continuous rainstorm flooded Dongting Lake. Looking at the men, women and children struggling for help in the lake, the fairy snail girls immediately endured severe pain and risked never returning to the fairy snail palace (snail shells are their lifeblood, and if they don't return to their shells for one day, they will practice for 9,999 years and never return to the fairy snail palace again), taking off their snail shells and turning them into big ships to rescue the victims. After seven days and seven nights of salvage, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people were rescued, but fainted because of fatigue. When they woke up, the 72 big ships connected together had run aground on the shore of the lake. In order to keep the survivors alive, they turned the boat into 72 peaks with different styles, which were connected into an island. Then, they tore off their hair like hair, scattered it on the Seventy-second Peak, and turned it into pine, bamboo and wheat seedlings ... They tore up colorful clothes and threw them on the Seventy-second Peak, turning them into peony, golden laurel, cuckoo and hibiscus ... They brought happiness to people and people will always remember them. The 72 peaks of Junshan Mountain have always retained beautiful names such as Cui Luo Feng, Roby Peak and Dai Luo Feng.

Xian ren dong ting fu

Junshan Mountain has been hidden in the smoke waves of Dongting for many years. The ancient cloud dream, foggy in winter and spring, cloudy in summer and autumn, sunny in the morning and cloudy in the evening, and the blue sky and endless environment paint it with a deep mystery. The ancients suspected that there was Xianju in it. For example, Jia's "Notes" says: "Dongting Mountain floats on the water, and there are hundreds of golden halls on it, where jade girls live. At four o'clock, the sound of gold, stone, silk and bamboo is endless, running through the top of the mountain. " Taoist books list it as the 1 1 blessed land in the world (Gao Meng's "The Dongting Lake in Yueyang" and Qin Long's "The Official Records of Yuezhou" in the Ming Dynasty also have 12 and 15 respectively). Therefore, Junshan was originally named Dongting Mountain, which means "the court of the abode of fairies and immortals". (Introduction to ChristianRandPhillips Temple). Later, because of the legends of E Huang and Nv Ying, it was also called Xiangshan and Junshan.

The mystery of Junshan makes it almost a plant, a bamboo and a stone, with a beautiful legend. The earliest person involved is probably the Yellow Emperor among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Sima Qian's Historical Records: "The Yellow Emperor picked bronze wares from Shoushan and cast a tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the tripod was completed, there was a dragon hanging down to meet the Yellow Emperor, who rode on it, and there were more than 70 ministers in the harem. " After textual research, the above Jingshan Mountain is Junshan Mountain. Today, there is a platform above the Monkey Cave in the southwest cliff of Junshan Mountain, which is said to be a tripod platform cast by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was named Gongsun and Xuanyuan, so it was also called Xuanyuantai. According to ancient records, Feixian Pavilion (also known as Feisheng Pavilion) was built in the place where the Yellow Emperor Lapras rose next to Xuanyuantai. Cherish is long gone. It has always been a place for tourists to stop and meditate. "May boat crossing Dongting, dragons and dragons blowing waves. Where is Xuanyuan Huangdi today? Looking back at Tong Liya, Tang Huzeng's poem XuanYuanTai may represent many China people's memories of their ancestors.

Besides the Yellow Emperor, there are legends such as Qin Huang, Hanwu, E Huang, Nvying and Liu Yi. The beauty and magic of Junshan make many literati yearn for it. Some dignitaries regard Junshan as a god. Every time they go to Junshan, they build temples to sculpt gods and carve stone inscriptions. As a result, there are pavilions on the mountains and temples on the slopes, which is known as "gathering wonders and winning". According to the Records of Baling County, Junshan has 36 pavilions, 48 temples, 5 wells and 4 stations. Many treasures have been destroyed, and now the restorers include Erfei Tomb, Seal Mountain Seal, Langyin Pavilion, Liuyijing, Calligraphy Pavilion, Jiuxiang Pavilion, etc.
