MengMeng Bashu Rain, the trip to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, and the Small Three Gorges of Daning River "are better than the Three Gorges"

The Daning River originates in Zhong Nanshan, Pingli County, Shaanxi Province, flows through Wuxi and Wushan counties in eastern Sichuan, meanders for 300 kilometers, and joins the Yangtze River at the mouth of Wuxi, which is the largest tributary of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The scenery is famous for its beauty. Between Wuxi and Wushan, when you sail in the rapids of the high gorge and walk between the narrow lanes of tall buildings, it is called "cliff corridor". There are countless gorge peaks along the way, the largest of which is the "Ninghe Seven Gorges". From the upstream, Wuxi has four gorges: wild boar, seven pythons, scissors and Miaoxia. Wushan has Didi Cui, iron coffin and Longmen Three Gorges. The lower reaches of Three Gorges is the essence of Daning River, known as "Little Three Gorges" and famous for its scenery in Shan Qi.

According to legend, Daning River was changed from a group of dragon girls wearing green skirts, green shirts and green ribbons. The mountain spring was changed by the prince who loves life, so the water waves are beautiful and the spring falls are picturesque.

The best places in Daning River Gorge are Longmen Fan Ying, Fog of Rock Coffin, Tianma Ancu Mountain, Chibi Skyscraper, Water Curtain Wonder, Yuntai Wonderland, Ancient plank road suspension, Peak Cloud Cutting, Yanquan Ancient Town, Tian Chang First Line, and playing with willow leaves. The scenery is unique, "fantastic without stone" and "flying with water". In particular, countless stone caves and "iron coffins" in the cliffs stretching for more than 100 kilometers along the coast cast a confusing color on Daning River. Therefore, some people praised it as "not the Three Gorges, better than the Three Gorges" and known as "the first stream in the world".

"Dragon into tiger, horse into mountain"

On the rock wall of Cuidi Gorge, there are a group of colorful animal shapes: a golden scale and a round dragon stuck on the rock wall on the east coast, trying to enter the dragon cave; A tiger is waiting to get out of the hole halfway up the mountain on the west bank; In the six caves by the river, there are four extra-large stalactites hanging in the air, covered with moss and green grass, just like a tall Tianma drilling into the mountains. People call it "the dragon and tiger once went into the mountains". According to legend, in ancient times, young people in Shuanglong Village of dachang town fell in love with Zhang Yuanwai's daughter. The foreign minister asked for dragon liver, tiger gall and night pearl as dowry. Under the guidance of Wushan Goddess, Tiger Man went to Shuanglong Gorge to cut dragons, kill tigers and scare off Tianma. She won three treasures and married a young lady. They dressed up the canyon as green and picturesque, and later people called it "Cuidi Gorge Valley". Where the canyon was protected and the dragon was killed, this landscape shape was left behind.

Guanyin's miscalculation of salt trough

On the cliff along the Daning River, there are many stone caves, each of which is 6 inches square and 2 feet deep, and the hole spacing is about 5 feet, just like being cast in the same mold. In some places, there are also two rows of zigzag patterns with nine eyes, stretching for more than 100 kilometers. According to statistics, there are 6880 caves. How can such a huge, dangerous and exquisite project be embedded in the surging river where even birds can hardly rest? There are always different opinions about its origin and function, which has become an ancient mystery of the Three Gorges. Some people say that the heroine of the peasant uprising army dug it. They live in Taohuazhai in the upper reaches of Ninghe River, and often carry wooden stakes and make expeditions along this plank road. The Records of Wushan County was written by Ada during the construction of the salty diversion canal in the Tang Dynasty.

However, there is a saying among the local people that Guanyin Bodhisattva saw Luban's growing fame and was heartbroken, so she proposed to compete with him. They agreed that Lu Ban set up a trough frame to draw salt water for the Three Gorges, and Guanyin tied hundreds of pairs of soles for the woodcutter. Cockcrow is limited at night, please judge the land. Lu Ban holds a jade ruler and drills holes while measuring; Guanyin is afraid of losing, which makes people steal chickens. As a result, the land judge won the battle and was not allowed to start work again. So, there are so many holes left in the hanging rock.

Another way of saying it is: Once upon a time, the peach blossom girl in scarab village in the upper reaches of Daning River promised to marry whoever could build a road to the river for the villagers. One day, a clever young man came. Together, they broke open the golden cabinet and got Luban's "jade ruler", which led the villagers to dig holes in the rock wall and paved the plank road connecting the Yangtze River from Jingui Village to Longmen Gorge. Because the cave starts in Scarabaga Village and ends in Longmen Gorge, people also call it "Longmen Cave".

The eternal mystery of hanging coffins

In Jingzhuba in the northeast of Wuxi County, there is a rock standing by the river, with a steep cliff and a height of 200-300 meters. Twenty-four coffin-shaped cast iron objects are horizontally distributed in cracks in the wall. This is the famous "iron coffin community" coffin rock. There is a local folk song: "Red rock versus white rock, there is a coffin on the rock;" Millions of gold and silver, I will never get it in my life. "

A long time ago, there lived an old couple in the dense bamboo forest of the Eighth Five-Year Plan Gorge. At the age of sixty-five, they had a child. The fortune teller said, "Great, the child will be blessed in the future" and told them not to open the door for one hundred days. On the last day, relatives and friends celebrated their father's birthday. As soon as the door opened, the bamboo forest exploded, and all the bamboos became dead people in imperial robes. The golden couple didn't die with a dragon robe. Everyone made coffins to collect the bodies, and the children got angry and kicked the coffins to the cliff of Daning River. Speaking of the Warring States Period, there was a man named Wu Xiang. In order to be a tribal leader, he made an appointment with his competitors and built a boat out of mud, which didn't sink. As a result, the ship built by Wu Xiang did not sink, defeated his opponent, became a leader and became a king. After Wu Xiang's death, later generations chiseled his coffin into a boat shape and put it on the cliff for sacrifice from generation to generation. "Shangshu" contains "only the moon is there, Rex sacrifices to the cliff, saying filial piety forever". In fact, the "iron coffin" is made of wood. Because it has been more than 1000 years, its appearance is darker than iron.

In addition to coffin rocks, there are more than 300 coffins in the seven rock coffins in Tieguan Gorge of Daning River, ranging from the lowest 30 meters to the highest 500 meters. The rock wall where the coffin is placed is steep and steep, and there is no trail. How to lift such a heavy thing is still puzzling.
