Huxiang's natural calendar 丨 Qingliang Yixia ⑭ Hunan, a "month" place, the senior "donkey friend" Xu Xiake strongly plant grass

Sunday, Sunday, August 14, 2022

In the first month of the lunar calendar in 1637, Xu Xiake, a senior "donkey friend" in the Ming Dynasty, entered Chaling County, Hunan from Wugong Mountain, Jiangxi. It opened a more than 100 days of Changyou Hunan model and left 40,000 words of "Chuyou Diary".

In March of that year, Xu Xiake entered the state of Yongzhou and walked on the country road of Daozhou (now referring to Dao County). The emptiness of the upper layer of the moon rock is also ... The rock is east, the overlook is connected, and the high of the bridge is high.

Lifetime "Ask the famous mountains and rivers", the senior "donkey friend" was still shocked by Yueyan's wonderful scene. Soon after that, Xu Xiake ranked a "cave ranking" and gave him a list of the 12 most of the most outstanding caves. First".

Why does the Daoxian Yueyan win? Today, more than 300 years later, we walked here again, and the ghost ax of nature told us the answer.

It is best to arrive at the south of Xiaoping Village, Qingtang Town, Daoshi County at sunset, where the peaks are surrounded by crowded and smoke clouds. The flowing water and the picked rice fields through the stream, the green stone mountains standing in front of me seemed to be dug out of a large hole. The sunset over the mountain seemed to be hanging at the entrance of the cave, passing through the mountains, and in the green rice fields, a piece of orange yellow was barely paved.

Walk into the cave and move to Yi Jing. The top of the cave and the abdomen is hollowed out. Like a house without roof, Baiyun slowly drifted on the round sky. The two ends of Dongdong and West have a huge hole, like two opposite doors, connecting the east and west sides of the mountain, so the hole is also called "penetrating rock".

Looking up at the sky, the appearance of the sky changes with the angle, such as the crescent moon gradually becomes a full moon, and the profit and loss change is only between the steps. Looking up at the entrance of the cave, the sky is like a string moon; in the middle of the cave, the sky looks like a full moon; when it is about to get out of the cave entrance, the sky is like the next month. Because of this, the cave is named "Yueyan".

How is such a wonderful scene formed? According to research, in ancient times, due to the washing of the river, the rivers through mountain -piercing caves were formed. The top of the back hole collapsed and the river was blocked, and the river flowed out of the yin river from nearby caves. I do n’t know how many years of creation, which has formed the wonders of Yueyan today.

In addition to the natural landscape, the moon rock, which was "planting grass" by Xu Xiake, was also very deep. On the stone wall inside the Yueyan Cave, there was a Moyan monument that has been in the Song Dynasty since the Song Dynasty. At the Yueyan Yueyue, there is a small hole called Guanyin Cave. According to legend, this is the place where the Northern Song philosopher Zhou Dunyi reads the way. Although the cave is narrow, the stone table, stone chair, and stone bed are complete.

【Little Business Card】

Yueyan, Daoxian, is located in the south of Xiaoping Village, Qingtang Town, Daoxian County. It is a large limestone cave under the Dupangling. There are two natural holes on both sides of the east and west of Tiankeng. Yueyan cave is curious, the wall is cut, and the white stone is bright, with dozens of feet high.

In the cave, there are 54 Moyan monuments of Sao and Mo Ke since the Song Dynasty. In 1983, Yueyan was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit.
