Introduction of Wei Zi Cave

The first reaction to seeing "Wei Zidong" is synonymous with "immortal" practicing and living, and fairyland is often embedded in this name. Weizi Cave is located on Weizi Mountain in the west of Chaohu Lake. Wei Zi is named after the purple stars in the sky, and has nothing to do with Wei Zihua. The couplet at the entrance of the scenic spot is "purple, vibrant and colorful"; The bottom line is "latitude and longitude breeze rippling, graceful and elegant in all directions", and the horizontal approval is "Wei Zidong". There is a Weizi Cave halfway up the mountain, which was formed by the uplift of an underground river in process of crustal movement. Therefore, the level of the underground river in the cave is very clear under the impact, and there are not many stalactites inside. The eccentric Kong is Wang Qiaodong. According to legend, the monarchs in the Spring and Autumn Period were named Ji, Jin, and lived in caves and became immortals. "Wangqiaodong" got its name from this. Wang bridge opening is the only Cliff Grottoes with Buddhist statues in Anhui Province. There are 500 arhats carved on the stone wall, only one of which has a head. Obviously, the head was cut off on purpose, and the depth of the cut was about two centimeters. Judging from the carving skills, it is a skillful craftsman, but why it is carved has become an eternal mystery. It is recorded in the "Chao County Records" in the late Qing Dynasty: "Only one statue is intact, and the rest are headless."
