I copied the text and took pictures myself. Click to enlarge and watch.

According to relevant data, in 1747 (the 12th year of Qing Qianlong), Zhang Yue, the magistrate of Xinyang, was impressed by the beauty of Xinyang scenery, and wrote eight poems: Fairy Wind, Moon on the Stone River, Sunrise at the Divine Pagoda, Sunset at Kuilou, Longtan Waterfall and Thundermarsh. Since then, the scenery described in these eight poems has become the "Eight Scenes of Xinyang", which has been talked about by Xinyang people for more than 200 years.

Fairy pine wind

Xianshan is located in Xianshan Village, Hudong Office, Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province, which is 10 km away from the urban area. At an altitude of 600 meters, the forest coverage rate is over 90%. Xianshan is a hermit, while the sage refers to Pan. Zhou Pan's word "Bo Jian" made him an adult in the later Han Dynasty. When he paid tribute to the emperor, he moved to Yang Xia and made a coincidental order. Zhou Pan missed his mother and didn't want to be an official, so he resigned and went back to his hometown to live in seclusion, hence the name Xianyin Mountain. Fairy pine wind is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xinyang. The predecessor "Fairy Spirit and Pine Wind" praised: "In the past, sages were high and quiet, and the spirit pool was quiet. Smoke dissipates quickly and the wind turns green. Brahma has many Buddhist temples and fell in love with Lin Qiu. Suspected to be Penglai, Shennan is a winning tour. " The whole Xianling Mountain is covered with pine trees, commonly known as flat-topped pine. The trunk is not straight, but tortuous. The breeze is blowing, and the waves are everywhere, which is pleasing to the eye. During the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, Yin, a Taoist priest in Guangdao, a southern Confucian school, inscribed the word "immortal spirit" and carved a stone and erected a monument at the foot of Xianshan Mountain. There are Xianyin Temple, Xianyin Cave, Luxi, Biru Spring, Xianren Bed, Zhangrenshi and other places of interest on Xianshan. ?

Shihe Fan Yue

Stone river was called Zishui in ancient times. Once upon a time, a hermit named Hu Chao lived by this stream. He is so prestigious that everyone praises him as a teacher. He called the river Xi Shi, which was renamed Zhen Xi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zhen Shui in the second year of Qi Jianwu and Hezhen later. Shihe River originates from Jiucaipo at the junction of Tanjiahe Township in Shihe District and Yingshan Mountain in Hubei Province, and is the main tributary of Huaihe River. The total length of Shihe River is 14 1.5km, and the drainage area is 2070 km2. The main tributaries are Shafei River, Wudao River, Dongshuang River and Duhe River. "Swallowing the Moon by the Shihe River" is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xinyang, and the poem "Swallowing the Moon by the Shihe River" by Zhang Yue, an ancient scholar, praised "double oars shake the Qingchuan River, and the toad light scatters the dusk smoke". The pearl is full of Tianshan Mountains, and the mirror is round Shui Xin. Gui Xi flies to the trophy and Lan Yan wins the orchestra. Reflect on Liang Kefu and be bright at the same time. ”？

Shenta Zhao Hui

Why did you leave an isolated tower? You don't remember the floor.

Lush and harmonious, the dawn is condensed.

Yushu can lean against the wind, but golden stems can bear it.

In this state, there are colorful pens everywhere, and it is interesting to watch them fly around.

This is a poem about Zhao Hui, one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. The pagoda was originally located at Hongji Road in Wu Miao Street (near the intersection of Shengli Road and Jiefang Road). Because there is the word "Sui" on the tower brick, it is said that it was built in the Sui Dynasty. Japanese imperialism invaded China and shelled the tower three times, which made the upper part of the tower slightly inclined, but it still stood tall. Unfortunately, during the Cultural Revolution, Shenta was regarded as the "four elders" and was completely "broken". In particular, the tablet of "Ancient God and Bo Guo" was written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the age, the two big characters at the bottom of the inscription have also been eroded by wind and rain and can only be recognized. Nevertheless, the original relic, which is a particularly important cultural relic in Xinyang, has not been spared. This is really something that Xinyang people will always hate. ?

Night view of Kuilou

Judging from the available information, Kuilou should be built on the wall of Xinyang Old Town, and the specific location may be along the Yanhe Avenue in Shihe Park today. Today, the only remaining old city wall in Xinyang is located on Yanhe Avenue next to Xiguan Bridge. Judging from the stones used in the city wall, it was built in the Ming Dynasty.

Longtan waterfall

Longtan Waterfall is located in Shihegang Township, Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province. It is 25 kilometers away from Xinyang City. It is accessible along Xinying Highway. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was listed as one of the "Eight Ancient Scenery of Xinyang" and was known as the "First Spring in South Henan". There is a small reservoir upstream of the waterfall, and there are two small reservoirs downstream of the waterfall. In the deep canyon of Bailongtan Waterfall, there is a boulder protruding from the middle of the waterfall cliff, and the waterfall hits it, as thin as pearls, and falls into the pool like an umbrella all day long. If after the heavy rain, mountain torrents pour down, the waters of rivers meet in Longtan, and the turbid waves roll in front of the waterfall cliff, and the scenery is spectacular. Scholars of all ages came here to recite poems and write poems, leaving many well-known poems. The most famous poem of the descendants of He Jingming, a great writer in the Ming Dynasty, is Longtan Waterfall by He, a scholar in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty: "The waterfall peak is easy to lean against the fence, and the Bailongtan is difficult. In "A Chinese Odyssey, The World, The Outlook on Growth of Lang Lou Gan Kun".

Razer spews clouds

Lei Zhen is located in the southern suburb of Xinyang City, on the south bank of Shihe River, 6 kilometers away from the city center, with an area of 19.4 square kilometers. Approved as a provincial forest park in 2004, it is currently under development and construction. Lei Zhen has complex and diverse topography, peculiar natural landscape, numerous historical sites and cultural landscapes, surrounded by mountains on three sides, beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. It is a good place for leisure vacation and mountaineering sightseeing. There are two stone swamps on the top of Leifeng Mountain. Their water is very clear and has not increased or decreased. Every day there are cloudy days and clouds coming out of the swamp, and there will be clouds when it rains. Because of this strange scene, it is said that when people throw stones, they will be silent, just like Lei Zhen. Therefore, it is called "thundermarsh spewing clouds", which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. In A.D. 1747 (the 12th year of Qianlong), Xinyang famously wrote "Thunder Marsh Blows Clouds", and the poem said: "Everyone knows that Thunder Marsh is at the top of the mountain. Thin fog is floating in the early days, and thick clouds have spread out in the sky. The seal script and silk are stacked and spit, and the cluster is suspended. Scattered to worship the rain, the mountains are all tea gardens. "

Clear snow in Kameyama

Guishan is located in the five-star office of Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province, 5 kilometers away from the urban area. It is one of the four famous mountains in Xinyang, with an altitude of 162.2 meters. It is named Guishan because it looks like a turtle. Guishan is located at the intersection of Shihe River and Hejie River, and two rivers flow under the mountain. When the weather clears up after the winter snow, standing on a high place or overlooking the river, Guishan is like a giant turtle with jade piles and armor on its back, holding its head high and looking west by the river. The clear snow on Guishan Mountain is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Xinyang. Ji Guo Yong Zanyun, a poet in Qing Dynasty, said: "Looking at the ice flowers in the sun, Guishan is in a strange state. 10,000 makeup floats, and jade armor is cold. The smoke is light and far away, and the crystal is bright and close to Guo Fen. The eastern suburbs are far away, spacious and intoxicating. " Zhang Yue, the magistrate of Xinyang, praised this Jing Yun: "Jade pieces were in the early dynasty, and Guishan was near. Slightly green and shallow, accumulated elements enter the empty forest. Qi moves with Chu Yang, and dust doesn't invade at all. Only snowflakes and stones can be used to make Qi Yi Tian Xin ".

Changtai ancient capital

Changtai Gudu, one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang, is located on the north bank of Huaihe River in Taiguan Township, Pingqiao District. The exact location of Changtai Gudu Port is more than ten meters outside the entrance of Xiaonanmen. 1958 All the ancient city walls of Changtai were demolished. Historically, the Huaihe River has been narrow and deep, and the swift river has been flowing for many years. Due to years of floods, the riverbed has been widened year by year by Taotao River. After liberation, the Party and the government allocated huge sums of money every year to build a river dam to ensure the life and property safety of more than 2,000 people in Changtai Guzhen Town. Now the old ferry is gone. Changtai Gudu, called "Changtai Ferry" in ancient times, was an important Huaihe Ferry in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and was a distribution center for salt, grain and other materials. Therefore, the smoke on both sides of the strait is curled up, and the lakes and mountains are covered with cypresses, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. Zhang Yue, a poet who knew Xinyang in the Qing Dynasty, praised: "Facing the Huai River and calling for a wild crossing, Tongbai originated from the dragon; If you don't rush to rise, the waves are navigable; Smoke and light across the shore, clouds and shadows pan central; Si Mujin often asks, but he never forgets.
