Always on the road, discover beauty, share happiness!
After touring the Zhou family compound full of ancient charm, I found that there is a small river next to the ancient village, and the water is clear, from here it flows happily into the Xianshui River. This small river is called Jinshui, which traces its origin upwards, and there is a village called He Xiangu Village, which is called Xiangu Hometown. It sounds so beautiful, be sure to go inside and visit it.

Inlet water passes through the ancient village
The country road has been built along the water intake, and although the road is narrow, most of the road is in good condition, and only a few sections are somewhat damaged. The road sign showed that there was a place called the He Family Compound inside, but it was not found along the way. However, the scenery on both sides of the water is beautiful, open the car window, the air with a slight earthy atmosphere comes to the face, and the scenery on the road makes up for the regret in the heart.
Beautiful little river
Finally, not far from the He Xiangu Village Committee, I saw a Taoist temple called He Xian Guan. The buildings displayed on the posters outside the Taoist Temple are majestic, but the Taoist temple in front of you is somewhat broken, some of them have fallen into disrepair, and it seems that they lack incense money. The "Treasure of Zhenguan" of the Taoist Temple is a 1300-year-old Luo han pine that is said to have been planted by He Xiangu and his master Lü Dongbin. Legends are legends after all, and the thousand-year-old tree still has to go inside to see.
He Xianguan
Located in the corner of the courtyard, this Luohan pine is surrounded by a red brick wall, and an altar is built with earthen bricks in front of the tree, and an incense burner is placed in front of it, which is dedicated to worship. In the open space in front of Luo HanSong, there is also a bagua diagram made of hollow red bricks, and although the material and shape are simple, they express people's respect. On the parapet surrounding the ancient tree, a banner was hung on it, which read, "God bless all sentient beings, bless the descendants."
Kannai Main Hall
Taoism is a traditional Chinese religion, and people believe that as long as they cultivate with their hearts, they can attain enlightenment and immortality, with the best wishes of working people. He Xiangu is one of the legendary Eight Immortals, whose real name is He Qiong. There are many places in China that are in dispute over where she was born, and they can all produce corresponding evidence to prove this, and He Xiangu Village in Lingling, Yongzhou, is such a place, and the name of the village alone can be seen.
Luo Han Pine in 1300
According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, He Qiongsheng was born in an ordinary peasant family in the village, and on the day of birth, purple qi was shrouded above the hut, and there were cranes flying. Later, He Qiong cultivated in the red jade cave in the tiger-shaped mountain, and finally achieved positive results, and became the embodiment of bravery, beauty and wisdom, solving problems for the people and becoming a goddess worshipped by everyone.
The ancient Luohan Pine has become a sacred tree
Like the Zhou Family Compound, Xiangu's hometown belongs to Liu Zongyuan's "Yongzhou Wild", which has the most beautiful Xiaoxiang landscape and the most charming rural idyllic scenery, waiting for your visit.
