Shouxian travel guide

On the south bank of the beautiful and rich Huaihe River, there is a beautiful land-Zhong Ling. She is Shouxian, a famous historical and cultural city in China.

Shouxian is bordered by Bagong Mountain in the north and Jianghuai watershed in the south, and is adjacent to Hefei, Huainan and Bengbu, the provincial capitals of Zhucheng, with an area of 2,986 square kilometers and a population of 6,543.8+0.27 million.

Shouxian was called Shouchun, Shouyang and Shouzhou in ancient times. As early as when Xia divided the world into nine parts, it belonged to Yangzhou. During the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, Cai Guo and Chu moved their capital here successively. In the Western Han Dynasty, Chang Lu, the son of Liu Bang, and Liu An, the son of Liu Chang, were the kings of Huainan and established their capitals here. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun. Subsequently, all previous dynasties set up the state government here, making it famous in the Jianghuai area.

As a state-level historical and cultural city, Shouxian has many places of interest and profound historical and cultural heritage. Its unique and charming famous mountains, waters, cities and celebrities are well-known at home and abroad.

1. Bagong Mountain, Yu Xiu, Zhong Ling

Bagong Mountain was called Ling Fei in ancient times. The mountain is not high, but the fairy is famous. Legend has it that as far back as the Western Han Dynasty, Liu An, king of Huainan, attracted thousands of alchemists to seek immortality. Eight male visitors a day. At first glance, the doorman saw eight old people with white beards, thinking that they would not live forever and didn't want to report it. Hachi laughed and instantly became eight boys. The doorman was startled and reported it quickly. Liu An put on his shoes and went out barefoot. After Hachi stayed, he climbed the mountain with Liu An to make an alchemy. It was quickly refined into an elixir and a grand sacrifice was held. After taking the elixir, Liu An "ascended to heaven by day" and floated away with Hachi. The rest of the medicine is in the container, and chickens and dogs eat it, all of which ascend to heaven. The myth that "one person gets the word, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" has been handed down since then, and Ling Fei was renamed Bagong Mountain.

There is a forest park in Bagong Mountain. In the park, streams are gurgling, pines and cypresses are singing and flowers are blooming. "Chushan overlaps the Huaihe River, comparable to Wang Weili's paintings." Li Bai, Wang Anshi and Su Shi all stopped here and left immortal poems. The cultural landscape of Bagong Mountain includes Mapo, Gudukou, Xiegong Temple, Shimen Beach, Yongquan Temple, Lv Mengzheng Cold Kiln, Liu Jinding Dressing Table, Eighteen Julian Villages and other places of interest. As for the natural landscape, the misty rain in Shouyang, the evening photos of West Lake, xiao yue in Jin Dong, the emerald green in Zijin, the Yongquan in Pearl, the blue in Shi Xia, the ancient cave in Maoxian and Xue Hai in pear country are the best. There is also a purple mountain, where the stones are as delicate as jade and purple. The Zijin inkstone made of this kind of stone, which integrates stone learning and ink moistening, has been favored by literati in past dynasties.

There are 24 famous springs in Bagong Mountain. Pearl spring is full of strings of pearls, also called "DuDu Spring". When people stand by and watch spring, spring surges when they shout, and spring surges when they shout. Under the reflection of sunlight, a pool of clear water, colorful, string of beads, dazzling. This peerless spectacle, such as the eternal mystery, has attracted many tourists!

Bagong Mountain has been an ideal place to seek immortality and Taoism since ancient times.

There is Zhu Zhu Bi's Taoist Temple, which is called "the first scene of Huaihe River". According to legend, Bi Xia Yuan Jun of Mount Tai traveled here, took a fancy to this treasure land, buried embroidered shoes, snatched the mountain from the Taishang Laojun, and built the Queen's Palace. Nowadays, at the temple fair on the 15th day of the third lunar month every year, hundreds of good men and women in Fiona Fang come to worship in groups from all directions. At that time, Shouxian was a sea of people, and people outside the city and at the foot of Bagong Mountain were jostling with each other. Hotels and restaurants are overwhelmed.

Legend has it that as far back as the Western Han Dynasty, three brothers, Mao Ying, Mao Gu and Mao Zhong, made a positive result here, and Taishang Laojun was worshipped as the true king of Siming, Ding Luzhen and Baosheng. The Maoxian Cave where they dedicated themselves is unfathomable. You can swim in the candle hole and enjoy the strange feeling of winding paths.

Bagong Mountain has a steep terrain and has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The famous "Battle of Feishui" in the history of China took place here.

In September 383 AD, Fu Jian, a former Qin dynasty, bullied others, absorbed the Eastern Jin Dynasty with a peaceful corner and sent 900,000 troops south.

Xie An, the head coach of the Jin army, commanded operations with extraordinary bearing, and sent Xie Shi and Xie Xuan to lead 80,000 soldiers to meet Qin Jun.

Qin Jin's two armies lined up on the other side. Xie Xuan defeated Qin Jun by power, creating a shining example of how to win more with less at all times and in all countries, leaving behind the historical allusions of "trembling with fear" and "gambling on villas, flogging and beheading"!

"In the ancient battlefield under Bagong Mountain, the shepherd boy picked up old knives and guns". 1,600 years later, with a flick of a finger. Until now, people can inadvertently pick up the arrow cluster armor on the ancient battlefield to commemorate it.

2. Famous Crown Huaxia Anfengtang

Anfengtang is located 30 kilometers south of Shouxian County, which was called Shaopi in ancient times. Known as "the first pool in China". It was built in Chu Zhuangwang in the Spring and Autumn Period and is one of the four famous water conservancy projects in ancient China. Known as the "crown of water conservancy", it is 300 years earlier than Dujiangyan and belongs to the national key cultural relics protection unit.

According to Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the ancient Anfengtang "flowed through a hundred miles and irrigated a thousand hectares", and "there are five vicious cycles that stop at streams". Since the completion of Anfengtang, all the observant kings in history have attached great importance to plowing and accumulating grain here, and all of them have made great profits. In 24 1 year, the famous wargo of the Three Kingdoms settled in Shouchun, and Anfengtang settled the fields with 50,000 troops. After 67 years of operation, it has accumulated 70 million tons of grain. Up to now, there are the ruins of Daxiangmen and Daxiangqu dug by Deng Ai when he was ploughing the fields.

At present, Anfengtang, with a circumference of more than 50 Li, is a world-famous medium-sized anti-regulation reservoir in Pishihang Irrigation District, with a storage capacity of 654.38 billion cubic meters and an irrigation area of 830,000 mu.

"Huangshan returns without looking at Yue, Shaopi returns without looking at the pond" and "Not like the West Lake, but better than the West Lake" are tourists' admiration for the beautiful ecological environment and beautiful natural scenery of Anfengtang. The water in gutang is clear, sparkling and rippling. It is really interesting for tourists to row boats on the pond and immerse themselves in a lake and water, and they can really enjoy the artistic conception of traveling in the illustrated world.

Tangxin Island in Penglai Wonderland is located in the center of gutang, with a length of 400 meters and a width of 250 meters. From a distance, the island in the fog is looming, if there is nothing. The main attractions are Shaohe Shuangchi, Wonderland on Earth, Jinbeizhong and Xia Ying Taoyuan. When people stand on the island, it is like being outside the cloud nine, and an alternative feeling arises spontaneously.

On the embankment of Anfengtang, willows hang low, Sophora japonica flowers are noisy, and pavilions are hidden. Strolling on the embankment and blowing willows to see the scenery makes people linger; The pastoral scenery around the pond bank, such as lotus flowers reflecting the sun and plain green waves, adds infinite charm to gutang.

3. Jianghuai Pearl Shouchun City

Shouchun City has built its capital four times in history. After many vicissitudes, how many cultural relics have Shouchun City left behind!

The well-preserved ancient city wall, with a square plane, was rebuilt during the Xining period of the Northern Song Dynasty and belongs to the national key cultural relics protection unit. Its circumference is 7147m, its height is about10m, and its top width is 6 ~10m. There are four gates in the city, namely Binyang Gate, Tonghai Gate, Dinghu Gate and Jinghuai Gate. The city wall consists of observation holes and perforations, gates, moats, suspension bridges, watchtowers, police shops and battlements, forming a complete defense system, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the era of cold weapons, it is not an exaggeration to call it "impregnable". No wonder there is a saying in history that "Shouzhou City is made of iron"!

After the Song and Jin Dynasties, the Yellow River captured the Huaihe River, and the ancient city wall built beside the Huaihe River became a solid defense line against floods, which played an irreplaceable role for the local people to live and work in peace. In the flood of 199 1, Shouxian people just closed the city gate, and more than 65,438+10,000 people in the city were safe.

On the altars on the east and west sides, there are eighteen arhats decorated with clay sculptures during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. They either sit or stand, or are happy or angry, or close their eyes and meditate, or overlook, with different postures and vivid expressions.

After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Shunzhi has been the seat of the county museum. In 200 1 year, from the perspective of tourism development, the county party Committee and government of Shouxian invested more than 20 million yuan to relocate the museum, and built the Shouchun Chu Culture Museum, a landmark building of the ancient city, which is "the soul of Shouxian and the courage of famous cities", showing the charm of Shouchun cultural relics.

Doctor Tong Niu is the governor of Chu King's collection, and this artifact is his precious collection.

This is what I want. It was the gold coin of Chu at that time. Pottery unearthed in Shouxian accounts for 70% of the total unearthed in China.

The 57 streets and lanes with different styles can still glimpse the glory of the former important towns in Huaishang.

Yinxian Town, formerly known as Bailu Town, was named after the 132 casting weapon built here by Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. In the Tang Dynasty, the wise Dong hated official life and lived in seclusion here, reading history and writing fu, so Bailu Town was renamed Yinxian Town. At present, the ancient sites in Yinxian Town mainly include Taishan Temple, Xiaogan Spring and East Reading Desk.

Wabu Town is a civilized ancient town with a history of more than 2,600 years. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Mi Zijian, a disciple of Confucius, died here, so Wabu Town was called "Gentleman Town" in ancient times. Now, the four old streets here still preserve the original appearance of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with blue bricks and small tiles, carved beams and painted buildings and classical patterns; The streets are paved with bluestone, and the ruts are deep. The simplicity of people here, the tranquility of the countryside, and the harmony between man and nature all give people a feeling that the ancient style still exists. It makes us forget the hustle and bustle of the city, as if we were really in a paradise.
