Zhangmulin Township Scenic Spot

At the foot of Maotou Mountain, about one kilometer northwest of Jo Jiang Village in Zhangmulin Township, there is a village called Shangen Village, and there is a small castle surrounded by stones on the back hill of the village called Shangen Gushi Village. Maotou Mountain is a steep stone mountain with lush trees all the year round, so it is generally ignored by people.

Climb up slowly from the foot of the mountain along a vaguely discernible steep path, about 20 meters, and you can see a stone wall about 20 meters long with a stone door built on it, which is the south gate of Gushizhai. Shimen is built between the two peaks, and all of them are made of big stones, so that the stone wall is connected with the two mountains, and it is the only place to enter Shi Cun. Entering Shimen for more than ten meters, you can see a stone tablet named "Rebuilding Shi Cun Monument". This stone tablet is half hidden in the rock and half exposed. Due to the age, wind and rain, all the fonts are unrecognizable.

According to the report, this monument was built by Liu of Shangen Village and Chen Wenguang of Qing Xianfeng (namely, A.D. 1854). The tablet says: "Many mountains have been secluded since ancient times, and Fushan is a corridor temple, but it belongs to a mountain forest ..." The mountain pass behind Shangen Village was once a refuge a long time ago, but people lived and worked in peace and contentment in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is also a temple in front of the cliff, where people often come to pray.

By the end of the Qing dynasty, the Qing government was corrupt and incompetent, with internal and external troubles. Even the remote shanzhai suffered greatly, and the nearby villages often fought because of accidents. Especially in the Jiayin period of Xianfeng, there were many bandits, frequent fights and many robberies, which often caused the situation that "there were no dogs barking in the village, but pedestrians in the wild". In order to avoid chaos, the villagers around the village rebuilt the stone village with big stones between the mountain passes behind the temple behind the village, so that whenever there was a battle, hundreds of ordinary people in the nearby village came to the hut to escape, and the walls on the north and south sides of the village were guarded, so that the combatants or mountain thieves could not attack. There is an abrupt rock next to the inscription. Due to years of water drops, a unique stone bowl has been formed. The bowl is full of water and the water drops are still dripping.

Walking along the path through a pile of jagged strange stones, my eyes suddenly opened up. Standing here overlooking the whole village, Shizhai is located between two towering peaks, forming a spacious basin about the size of two football fields. The flat land is divided into three layers, each layer is flat and covered with green grass. In the meantime, the traces of pedestrians' residence can be seen faintly, and the foundation of the old house can also be seen faintly, but there is no fireworks, and the basin is surrounded by grotesque rocks. On the third stage, on the north side of the cliff, the wall made of stone is nearly 200 meters long, and all the walls are three to four meters high. The big stones used are polished into cuboids, some of which are more than two meters long and nearly one meter wide. There is a north gate on this wall. In the year of Jiayin in Xianfeng, that is, 150 years ago, when there were no existing cranes and other mechanical equipment, the big stone in the middle of the basin was cut into rectangular stones by manpower, and then a high wall of three or four meters was built with stones of five or six hundred kilograms or even one thousand kilograms. This is a pioneering work, which also shows the arduousness of the project. Standing on the majestic wall of the village and looking at the deep valley behind him, there is a kind of momentum of "one person defends it, and ten thousand people can't force it", which shows the heroism of the people in Shangen. Zhangmulin Township in the northeast of Zhaoping County belongs to limestone area, with typical karst terrain, thus forming a cliff of stone peaks, which is peculiar and unique; The caves are deep and tortuous, and the landforms are diverse. Among them, Jiuru Cave in Jiuru Village of this township is an ancient and peculiar cave.

Jiuru Cave is located halfway up Jiuru Village, which was once called a kennel. Its entrance is about seven meters high, spacious and cool, warm in winter and cool in summer. It really gives people a feeling that "the warm wind drives the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is hot and cool". The total length of the cave is about four kilometers and the area is about120,000 square meters. About ten meters away from the mouth of the cave, there is a basin-shaped hall, which can accommodate more than five thousand people. Three hundred meters further, there is a natural clear water pool with a small hole on the side, which is only enough for one person to climb in and out. Ten meters down the natural stone ladder is the "Human Bone Ping". According to legend, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty (1851-kloc-0/866), more than 500 peasant rebels headed by Li Shangbin of Hezhou were surrounded by thousands of Qing troops. The rebels were trapped for many days, and finally their food and grass were cut off, and many people died. This cave is named after the building of bones. Bypassing Baijiaping and entering more than 1,000 meters, it is said that you can still hear the sound of the arch bridge hitting rice in the east. This cave has a complex structure, with holes in it, and there are ten caves in total. Due to long-term deposition, caves form high and low risks and twists and turns. There are also four pools of different sizes and a Yin River in the cave, and the river is endless all year round. There are three exits in the cave, of which the entrance at the north end breaks through half of the stone mountain, becoming a natural stone window with cliffs under it, which is magical and dangerous. ...

In recent years, with the vigorous development of national tourism, Jiuru villagers raised tens of thousands of yuan to explore, design and initially develop this ancient cave, and some scenic spots have been opened to tourists. In the near future, it will become a tourist attraction in eastern Guangxi and an emerging industry of Jiuru villagers. About a mile east of Xu Jie Street in Zhangmulin Township, there is a stone mountain shaped like a saddle, and there is a village called Chuanyan at the foot of the mountain. There are three caves of different sizes and shapes on the mountainside of this rock, which are interconnected and naturally become rooms. If the sky is high and the clouds are light, you can clearly see the majestic Meiling peak shadow from the entrance. Looking down, you can see the beautiful scenery of Zhangxiang. At this moment, it is really refreshing. This is a famous place to read rock and camphor wood forest. According to legend, this rock was named after Mr. Lin, a native of Guangdong, who taught in this cave for more than ten years during the reign of Kangxi in the former Qing Dynasty.

Redding Rock is a limestone cave. Climbers can climb through the rocks along the winding path to the middle room of the cave. This room is made of stone walls and stone gates. The stone surface is flat and can accommodate dozens of people. From the middle chamber to the left, bypassing natural stalagmites and stalactites, it enters the left chamber, which is larger than the middle chamber and divided into two rooms: the inner chamber and the outer chamber. It is said that Mr. Lin used this place as a classroom when he was running a school. He can walk from the middle room to the right, cross a narrow corridor, turn the middle hall and enter the room on the right. This room has smooth stone surface, quiet ventilation and is an ideal rest place for tourists.

Dushuyan is a good place for many literati to write poems in past dynasties. In the sixth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1723), Lin Zilin, who was studying in Dushuyan, made a special trip from Guangdong to his alma mater, Dushuyan, and asked local masons to write poems for his father. In the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), Mr. Ye Heshan of Meizhou, Guangdong Province, who once taught in Sanzhen Bookstore in Zhangmulin (now Sanzhenkou, Zhang Lin), climbed this rock twice, wrote three vigorous characters "Less Lost" in calligraphy, engraved them on the stone wall of the cave corridor, and left his poems. On the upper left of the cave, there are four seven-meter poems written by Mr. Gao Yanlin during his visit. The poetry couplet part of this book records the poems carved in the cave today. There is a cave at the foot of a stone mountain on the road opposite Tan Li, Jo Jiang Village, Zhangmulin Township. There is wind blowing in the cave all the year round, which is called "wind tunnel" by local villagers.

The hole of the wind cave faces east, with an outer hole and an inner hole. The outer hole is wide and can seat 10 people. Entering 2 meters is the inner hole that only one person can climb in. The wind in the wind tunnel is warm in winter and cool in summer. The hotter the weather, the cooler the hot air and the warmer the cold air, which is necessary. In the hot summer, passers-by went to the cave to rest and enjoy the cool, and all their tiredness disappeared. The masses are known as "natural electric fans". Before liberation, there was a pavilion at the entrance of the cave for passengers to rest. Abandoned on 1956 for road construction. During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Wei, the magistrate of Zhaoping County, once wrote a poem praising "the grass path in the cave is surrounded and pedestrians take a break;" Warm wind blows away three winters of snow and cold air blows away five summers. "

Why is the wind blown from the wind tunnel all year round, warm in winter and cool in summer? The reason is that the inside of the cave is interconnected everywhere, and there are several holes. As for the difference between warm in winter and cool in summer, it is because the passage in the cave is tortuous and deep, and at the bottom of the rocky mountain, the temperature in the cave is not easily affected by the cold and hot weather outside the cave, which is relatively constant, often staying at about 20 degrees, and the temperature of the blowing wind is also kept at about 20 degrees, which is obviously lower than that outside the cave in summer, so people feel that the wind is very cold; In winter, the temperature outside the cave is below 20 degrees, so people feel that the wind blowing out of the cave is warm.

In recent years, the wind tunnel has gradually attracted foreign tourists with its peculiar wind and quiet caves. There is a small shop near this cave. It is convenient for tourists to buy snacks.

In the early years of the Republic of China, Ye, a well-known person in Zhangmulin Township, traveled all over the town and drew up eight scenes of Zhangmulin, namely: Yandu, Xiakou, Wuling Canxue, Shuangfeng Cloud, Horse and Spring, Dragon Trail Autumn Shadow, Floating Village Bridge Shadow and Ancient Watching Clock. At the same time, he wrote eight poems to describe this beautiful scenery. Passing through the rock is reading rock, where Lin, a student in the early Qing Dynasty, gave lectures. It can be said that Zhang Mulin's education is the earliest written record.

From the foot of the mountain, follow Luo Zhi, about 100 meters, that is, to the rock end. The three Chinese characters "Small Cave Cave" come into view, each word is two feet square, and the strokes are tall and straight, beautiful and bright. The rocks are divided into left and right sides. First, walk from the left, without a few steps, and cross the stone gate. The cave is natural in it. If it is unique, overlooking the mouth of the cave, the horses and rivers are dazzling, the villages and towns are arranged in an orderly way, surrounded by four mountains, which is really refreshing. Crossing the Right Rock is a stone's throw away, which is where the ancients studied. The trees in front of the rock are dense, and there is a danger of falling down. In spring and summer, the sound of books is accompanied by a breeze, and mountain flowers fall in succession. Coupled with the dripping sound of stones, such a quiet environment is really hard for scholars to get. At night, the rocks look southeast, the white dew is warm and empty, and the bright moon flows into the sky. For this good night, you can drink, recite, or play with silk and bamboo. The wine is hot and the moon stirs up poetry: "The mountains are exquisite and the reading is loud; In the middle of the night, I will reunite with the moon and enter the case as a burning scorpion. " "Yishui Yingxi detours are oblique, and there are several people in the depths of white clouds; Lin Fei can't come to Xu, and the infinite scenery carries the bus. " It's about the scenery of Zhangmu forest. The mouth of the river, known locally as the mouth of the river, or the mouth of the gorge, has two peaks, Wuling Mountain and Wolf Mountain, which are 920 meters above sea level and 1 100 meters above sea level respectively, just like two China watches standing in the east. At sunrise, although it is not as magnificent as the sunrise on Mount Tai, it is far from the sky and the sea. However, its faint rosy morning light reveals bright and soft light, and the veil hanging over the whole camphor tree forest is lifted, but it also has some interest.

In the poet's era, there were more than a dozen families in Qiu, Cao, Zhao, Zheng and Zhi, more than ten acres of fields, several oil mills and three or five grocery stores. Streams, peach trees, fragrant grass, neat houses and shady mulberry trees are very quiet and fresh, just like a paradise. It is fascinating to have the saying that "a stream is full of water" and "several families are in the depths of white clouds" After liberation, dams and reservoirs were built on the belly of the estuary to irrigate ten thousand mu of fertile land. Today, the estuary is a clear lake, which is another charming scenery. Mahe River in Zhangmulin originates from Wuling, Wolf III, Champion and other peaks, flows out of the estuary, flows through Zhang Lin and Xinhua Village from east to west, and joins Zhaoxian River. The whole river runs through the camphor wood forest, providing water for life and production for more than 10 thousand people. It is the mother river of camphor wood forest. The stones in the river vary in size and shape, such as colossus and goose eggs, and the state of water between stones is also different. They sing because of the ground, impact boulders, flow back, wade across shallows, jingle like a pine, and reverberate like a piano on both sides.

However, these eight scenes describe the Mahe River with a sudden drop in spring rain and flash floods. "A river weeping willows shake the village, and there are no old marks on both sides; Here, some people feel sad about the water, and saying goodbye is fascinating. "After a storm comes a calm, the distant mountains are like flowers, the Ruyan Liu River, and the long horse and river, like a raging dragon, rush out of the deep valley, break free from the blockade of the mountains and growl endlessly. The poet looked at the turbulent turbid waves around him, and the bright heart only added melancholy. Decades of life with martial arts as the curtain made him exhausted, and his youth and promising years were wasted in meaningless disputes. Now that he is old, the running water is fleeting, and time goes by, he can't help crying. Fucun is the Fangshan area of Xinhua Village in Zhangmulin Township today, commonly known as Bald Mountain. It is named after the cliffs around the mountain, the top of the mountain tends to be sunflower-shaped in the southeast, and there are few trees. In order to avoid taboo, it is called wangshan. That bridge, that is, the small wooden bridge across the Zhaoxian River next to the Wangshan Mountain, has maintained a simple style that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. The bridge deck is paved with five or six Chinese fir trees side by side, and the pier is made of thick pine trees. There are no railings on both sides, so it is impossible for passers-by to overlook. The road extends from the back of the mountain, and a small bridge connects it to the grassy shore opposite. Most simple wooden bridges carry hurried steps. Here: the willows are floating green, the setting sun is emitting afterglow, swallows are falling from the sky, and along the hillside, there are some people in twos and threes by the water. The poem says: "In the mountain village, the sunset is red in the water, and the shadow of the bridge lies in the rainbow. How many fish swim together here is also optimistic in Guizhuang. "

Things are human beings, stars are human beings, and bridges are the years that Zhangmulin people have accompanied. 1980 under the care of the party and the government, a reinforced concrete bridge was built on the original site. The majestic bridge spans the Zhaoxian River, and the bustling people on the bridge is a sign of the leap of the times, symbolizing peace and happiness. The ancient view is a water state view about one kilometer southeast of Zhangmulinwei. The age of construction is unknown, so it should be no later than Ming Dynasty. Hong Zhong, which resounds through half a camphor wood forest, was built in the 31st year of Qianlong (1766). Now, my ancestor's surname is Ye, and he lives in Zhangmulin, still in eastern Guangdong. In the 12th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1807), the scale of the ancient view was further expanded and its functions were more perfect. "Bricks are laid on the stage, Wenwen, Wuer Pavilion and Yushu Hall are built, and pavilions are built behind the holes to build the Moon Palace." The required funds are entirely from the private sector. At the end of Daoguang, Zeng Shizhen, a juren, took the lead in rebuilding. Ye Hequan, who still lived in the bitter rain of hating Taiwan during the expansion period, gradually provoked the beam of local public welfare undertakings. It can be seen that the construction history of an ancient view is also a history of the change of local surnames.

What is the scenery of the ancient view? What the predecessors said is ready-made. Jiaqing is six years old, and Gong Lin is like a cloud. "I heard that there are mountains to see, the caves are exquisite, and the junction between China and Tibet is a paradise. Fortunately, today's tour, I saw beautiful peaks and mountains, stagnant streams, locked for one side, sincere resort. " Taoist Zeng Shizhen also praised the scene as "secluded and secluded, the land is absolutely noisy, and it is refreshing to visit four mountains, such as Luofu and Pengdao." Yan Nan said: "When the ancient temple was in the middle of the mountain, Changlin Cao Feng was lying on the ruins; The depth of the clouds does not hinder the ringing of the bell, and suddenly I feel a dream on earth. "
