edit
The legend of Emperor Yan, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, is circulating in Shennongjia forest area. In ancient times, there was a saying that "people have diseases, but the medicine stone is unknown", and Emperor Yan of Shennong "is known by the smell of vegetation, cold and warm in nature, and assisted by the monarch and the minister." Everyone tastes it, and 70 kinds of poisons are encountered in one day. Or the cloud, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, died a hundred times a day, and earned 360 yuan. Later generations handed down books according to the number of days, which was called Shennong Herbal Medicine (Tongzhi). According to legend, Emperor Yan of Shennong once led many people to climb this mountain to collect hundreds of medicines to save people's diseases. Because of the high mountains and steep cliffs here, Shennong wants to build a shelf, hence the name Shennongjia. According to the supplement to Historical Records: "My mother said that she was a woman and gave birth to a daughter of Yi family, so she was born with a sense of dragon. Therefore, Xingshan County Records in Qing Dynasty called this mountain "Shenlong Mountain". These beautiful and moving legends make Shennongjia forest area full of magical mysteries.
1June 1997, Shennong altar was built here to commemorate the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
Shennong altar is divided into Temple of Heaven and Ditan, which are built on the mountain. In the middle of the Temple of Heaven stands a giant bull head statue of Yandi Shennong. Below the Temple of Heaven is the Ditan, and the square can accommodate thousands of people. The big circle pattern in the square represents the sky; Set a square in the center of the circle to represent the ground. In the square pattern, colorful stones represent five elements: wood, fire, earth, gold and water.

At the front of Ditan Square, there are two totem poles with the height of 10 meter, which are on both sides. The sculptures on the poles are also bull heads. Behind the totem pole are two large reliefs, which show the great achievements of Shennong's life. There is an altar between the totem pole and the relief. The altar was completely set according to the specifications of the ancient imperial altar. A bronze ritual vessel is placed in the middle, and incense burners, incense tables and golden bells and drums are arranged in front, which is solemn and solemn.
From the Ditan to the Temple of Heaven, there are 243 steps, divided into five levels, from bottom to top. The first level is the ninth level, which is called "Ming Jiu". The other four steps are 72, 63, 54 and 45 in turn, all multiples of nine, which is called "dark nine". This "Ninth Five-Year Plan" design implies the supremacy of Shennong.
Climbing 243 steps, you come to the observation deck in front of the statue of Shennong in the Temple of Heaven. Looking up at the statue of Shennong, the head of a cow, eyes slightly closed, seems to be quietly thinking about the universe. The statue has no base, but its body rises from the ground, with blue sky and colorful clouds overhead. The statue of Shennong is 2 1 meter high and 35 meters wide, which adds up to 56 meters, symbolizing the prosperity of 56 ethnic groups in China and the prosperity of their descendants.
The Shennong altar, which stands in the lush mountains, has now become a sacred place for Chinese people at home and abroad to pay homage to their ancestors.

Xiangxi River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, originated in Shennongjia, including Longkou River and Changfang River in the east. Xiyuan Muyu River, Dangyang River and Jiuzhong River. Xiangxi source here refers to Xiyuan. Part of the underground river springs converge into a clear and green deep pool, and then flow through the forest, through the valley, into Muyu River, with a total length of 68.5 kilometers, into Xihe River in Xingshan County, and then into Xiangxi River. This green pond is the source of the famous Xiangxi River. Legend has it that the altar is a medicine washing pool after collecting medicine by Emperor Yan Shennong. The water in the pool is the essence of Shennong's hundred medicines. Because of the aura of heaven, earth, sun and moon, it is pure and sweet to drink. Around the source of Xiangxi, there are wonderful peaks, misty clouds, clear springs, spectacular waterfalls, towering old trees, blooming mountain flowers and the remains of ancient glaciers in the valley. It is a beautiful land of forests and valleys in Zhong Ling. Lu Yu of Cha Sheng in Tang Dynasty called the source of Xiangxi "the 14th spring in the world".

7 Laojunshan
edit
This old gentleman, Lao Zi, surnamed Li Minger, was from Guxian County of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Laozi was a thinker in the late Spring and Autumn Period in history. Later, with the development of Taoism, in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the name of the old gentleman appeared (see Shu Wei? Interpretation of Laozi), after which Taishang Laojun became the official honorific title of Laozi in Taoism.
According to legend, Taishang Laojun once made an alchemy for the Jade Emperor in Shennongjia and farm tools for Emperor Yan of Shennongjia, hence the name Laojun Mountain. Laojun Mountain is magnificent and mountainous, which can be reached by car or on foot from Muyu Town. Qingshigou in the east, Majiashan in the south, Dahongyan in the north and Wuguixia in the west, covering an area of 60 square kilometers, with the main peak at an altitude of 2963 meters. Mountain springs are widely distributed here, which is the source of Jiuzhong River. The climate is cold, with a drop of 5438+ October in first frost in August and In the snow in June. There is a poem in the Qing dynasty praising: "Jiuchong River is the highest in Laojun Mountain, with green valleys and bays, and the frost is extremely thin. So far, it seems to be sealed. " To the south of the main peak, there is a mountain called Laojun Village, with an altitude of 2893.7 meters. It was originally built on the view of the old gentleman, and it is said to be the resting place of the old gentleman in Taishang. Now the scenery has been destroyed, leaving only ruins.
Laojun Mountain is rich in biological resources, and rare trees and medicinal materials can be seen everywhere in the mountain. There are also many exotic animals, such as golden monkey, macaque, leopard, wild boar, black bear, white bear, white roe, white snake and so on. , and there are records of "savage" footprints.

For example, the Qing Dynasty's "Xingshan County Records" records: "There is an old gentleman's view on the mountain, with adult footprints next to it, one foot long and six inches wide."
At the foot of Laojun Mountain, there is Tiansheng Bridge at an altitude of 1800 meters. Under a stone mountain shaped like a faucet, there is a hole passing through, with a height of 17m and a depth of 10m, with a width of 4m above and 5m below. The Huangyan River flows through the cave, and the rocky mountain spans the east and west banks of the Huangyan River like a bridge, which is magnificent. Because it was not dug artificially, it was named "Tiansheng Bridge". Tianshengqiao is surrounded by mountains, with lush trees, waterfalls pouring down from the cliffs, jade beads splashing, the water in the pool is crystal clear, and there are many strange stones in the pool.
Halfway up Yijiapo Mountain in the northeast of Qiaodong, there is also a cave with an altitude of about1500m. In winter, the cave is warm and warm, but in summer, it is chilly and there are frozen wonders. The cave walls are frozen to form various crystal patterns, which are beautiful. Because the temperature inside and outside the cave is completely opposite, it is named "cold and hot cave".
8 Shennongding
edit
Shennongjia forest area, the general terrain is above 1000 meters above sea level, and there are 6 peaks over 3000 meters. The main peak Shennongding is 3 105.5 meters, which is worthy of the title of "the first peak in Central China". Frost all year round and snow for half a year. The scenery on the mountain is very charming. Shennongjia Dafeng, far away from Shennongding, is 3053 meters above sea level, with strange peaks and rocks, exposed forests and winding cedars inserted in the transverse joints. Shennongding and the Great Shennongjia, two peaks stand side by side, magnificent, misty, winding mountains, green waves exciting the sky, blue waves rippling, very spectacular.
The unique geographical location and complex and diverse climate types around Shennongding have preserved a perfect subtropical forest ecosystem. There is a lush and beautiful forest world, as well as all kinds of animals and insects. Here we can see the vegetation types and a large number of older species and genera basically formed since Tertiary, and we can see the vertical distribution zones of tree layer, herb layer and shrub layer with the elevation. For example, in Honghuaying, lush meadows, green bamboo forests and fir trees stand proudly, swaying and swaying, and beside the fir trees, clusters of wooden azaleas are in full bloom, red, yellow, white and purple, colorful and dazzling; Below Honghuaying, there is a mixed forest belt of coniferous forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest, and the blue waves are dotted with colorful decorations, which are charming and beautiful; When Honghuaying is more than 3000 meters above sea level, only the bare rocks disappear, and even insects rarely patronize it, which perfectly preserves the scene of the wild times. Everything here makes it the most representative natural landscape area, which is called "irreplaceable world-class monopoly tourism resources" by relevant experts, and is known as "green treasure house", "plant gene bank", "natural zoo", "herb garden" and "refuge of endangered animals and plants".
There are also many famous tourist attractions around Shennongding, all of which are formed by geological wonders. For example, the scenic mountain on the west side of Shennongding, also known as Badong Cliff, is more than 2,700 meters above sea level. The peaks and valleys are beautiful, and the sky is blue and green. There is a canyon as deep as a kilometer under the southern slope. After thousands of years of wind and sword, from the bottom of the dam to the top of the dam, there are many strange rocks, lush bamboo shoots, beautiful scenery, misty clouds and waterfalls, which are unpredictable. It is called "Stone Forest Yu Yun" landscape. The rest are the stone slabs frequented by savages, the Golden Monkey Ridge, the magnificent and beautiful Nantianmen, and so on.
9 Jiuchong River
edit
Jiuchong River originates from Laojun Mountain in Shennongjia, and flows downstream into Xiangxi via Xingshan County. Although its total flow length is only more than 20 kilometers, there are dozens of waterfalls, large and small, due to the disparity in altitude. Jiuchong River is an important tourist attraction in Shennongjia, with beautiful scenery, numerous historical and cultural relics, and the integration of human landscape and natural landscape. According to legend, when the outlaws were stationed in a fortress on the Jiuchong River, officers and men launched nine charges to break through the fortress, hence the name Jiuchong River. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's nephew, Li Laiheng, led an army to Jiuchong River to fight a bloody battle with the Qing army. After that, he was forced to retreat into the deep mountains of Shennongjia to deal with the enemy. Now, "Hunger Valley" and "Blue Sky Bubble" are the place names left by Li Laiheng.
On the east bank of Jiuchong River, there is Wuzhishan, which supports the sky like a giant palm and goes straight into the sky. The momentum is very spectacular. Thumb, towering old trees, Gu Teng winding. After crossing the stone path of "Tiger Mouth Cliff", the steep peaks and cliffs are very strange and terrible, just like dragons. There is an overpass between the forefinger and the middle finger, and under the bridge is an abyss. The middle finger tip is 50 meters on the bridge. In the Ming Dynasty, there was a temple on the highest peak called "Lingyun Temple". Standing at the tip of the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger are close at hand, and the clouds are lingering under your feet. The mountains are deep and clear, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. Gao Tingbang, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, once praised: "The five peaks are suddenly connected, and the giant hand opens the world." Every time I fly to my palm, I walk from the bottom of my wrist. Hanling, a fairy, often holds hands, and her daughter patted her on the shoulder with a smile. Wild cranes can't recruit, and there are blue skyscrapers in the air. "
On the west bank of Jiuchong River, far away from Wuzhishan, there is a steep mountain that looks like a sharp sword. On the cliff, there was a Temple of Heaven in ancient times, so this mountain is called Miaoling. In the Cliff Cave, there are still three cliff carved Buddha statues, one big and two small, sitting on the lotus throne in sleeveless clothes, which is the only cliff Buddha statue found in Shennongjia at present.
10 Xiaodangyang Village village
edit
Xiaodangyang Village Village is 6 kilometers north of Muyu Town, surrounded by mountains, lush trees and strange rocks. Muyu River and Huangyan River meet here to form Dangyang River, which flows south leisurely. In addition to Shennongtan, Xiaodangyang Village Village also has an ancient botanical garden. There are many ancient surviving plants in the park, such as Davidia involucrata, Ginkgo biloba, fragrant fruit, Liriodendron chinense, and 100 kinds of rare Chinese herbal medicines, such as a pearl overhead, a bowl of water by the river, a pen by Wang Wen, seven leaves and a flower. There are many thousand-year-old trees in the park, some are vertical and horizontal, some are aging, some are tangled and scattered, and some are flourishing. Especially striking is the Millennium hemlock standing on the back hillside. The ancient Chinese fir is 46 meters high and 7.5 meters in bust. Its body is covered with traces of moss, as hard as bronze. It is tinkling and flourishing, like a huge green tower covering the sun. Tiejian Mountain passed through the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, condensing thousands of years of wind and frost. The old news of Gushan tells us that in order to avoid disaster, the ancients once worshipped the image of Yandi Shennong in the tree hole on its pedestal. Later, because the lonely mountain grew vigorously, the tree hole was closed and the golden statue was wrapped in the trunk, which was very magical.

Shennongjia is the kingdom of birds. There are more than 200 species of birds, including sunbirds, cuckoos, lucky birds (magpies), lovebirds (my brothers), love birds (Water Margin, Zhu Yingtai) and woodpeckers.

There have been no forest pests and diseases in Shennongjia for many years, and woodpeckers have contributed a lot. The waterfall running down from the rock rushes down, splashing like a flower, like a drum like a bamboo shoot, blending the birds singing on both sides, just like a canyon sonata.
