Third, the magical Taiji City-the City of Nature

Xunyang County is the only natural Taiji City in China, which is rare in the world. Hanjiang River and Xunyang River meet in Xunyang County. Due to the continuous undercutting, erosion and deposition of Xunyang river bed for hundreds of millions of years, the river bed has formed an "S" pattern around the city and naturally formed a natural Taiji pattern. Echo Island and Yangyu Island, one after another, embrace each other symmetrically and vividly. The most peculiar thing is that there is a thousand-year-old cypress growing in the eye position of Yin and Yang fish, which is still flourishing after thousands of years. Nature's uncanny workmanship has created a mysterious and magical natural Taiji City. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem describing: "The city is full of lights and stars, and a song of water surrounds Taiji", which proves that the title of Taiji City has a long history. During the Republic of China, Xunyang Taiji City was also praised by the highest level of the Kuomintang. In 20 years of the Republic of China, Zhang Feisheng, the son of Zhang Ruiting, a local financial tycoon in Xunyang, was then the commander and comprehensive brigade commander of the Second Army of the Kuomintang in Shaanxi Province. After his father's death, senior Kuomintang officials such as Chiang Kai-shek, Yu Youren, Yang Hucheng, He, Zhang Xueliang, Zou and Zhang Xiaoci signed five copies of the tomb couplet. The books are: "Lingshan carved a heavenly book, painted Tai Chi in ten days" and "Ten thousand volumes of heavenly books". Among them, the tombstone of "Ten-day Water Painting of Artest Tai Chi Map" and "One-axis Tai Chi Hanging Night Platform" were discovered in Xiaohei in 2003 and collected in the county museum. Since ancient times, many literati have written poems describing the beauty of Taiji City: "Overlooking the river, Taiji suddenly shows the mountain city", "Looking at Hanshui River in the south, Xunhe River in the north town, Xunyang City in the river lock key; Lingya in the east, Linyuan in the west, beautiful and attractive Taiji City ". The natural Taiji City is the biggest "buying point" of Xunyang tourism and a valuable non-renewable tourism resource.
