There is no mountain in Liaoyang City, shoushan is the first mountain in Liaoyang, and the location of shoushan is in the southwest of Liaoyang, which can be said to be the veritable gateway of Liaoyang City. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Sima Yi's crusade against Gongsun Yuan took place here, and Tang Taizong's eastern expedition to Goguryeo once garrisoned here, and the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning of the last century was also one of the battlefields.
The first mountain is the first of a thousand mountains, the first mountain of a thousand lotus flowers, 176.1 meters high, running east-west, 5 miles long. Shoushan, with its location in the throat road, important geographical location and dangerous terrain, has become a place of contention for soldiers in the war in Liaodong Province. During the Three Kingdoms period, the famous Battle of Sima Yi against Gongsun Yuan, the nineteenth year of Tang Zhenguan, the garrison of Tang Taizong's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning of the last century, and the Liaoyang Defense War during the Liberation War all took place here. Shoushan is also the place where the emperors and generals of the past dynasties and celebrities stop, the famous ones are Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, the Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Qianlong, Yu Pagehao, as well as the historical celebrities Wang Erlie, Liang Bannong, etc. The literati and inkers and emperors will add a lot of poetry and magic to the first mountain.
The first mountain, from the direction of the south, looks just like a sleeping fairy lying on its side, the eastern head is the forehead, the winding part is the long hair that droops, the eyebrows, nose and lips are clearly visible under the forehead, and the main peak is like a towering breast. To the west is a beam with a slanted ridge, as if a hand is supporting the abdomen, and under the wrist is the ancient temple Qingfeng Temple. If you climb to the top of the mountain and look to the north, the ancient city of Liaoyang can be seen from afar, and the tall white pagoda stands in it. Looking south is the emerging county seat of Liaoyang, and in the distance is Anshan, liaoning's third largest city. Historically, the first mountain was once overgrown and shaded by the sun.
According to historical records, the first mountain was originally named Daxiang Mountain, and the mountain was covered with high artemisia and the fragrance was abnormal. The forest under the slopes of Shanxi is a spectacle with a pleasant climate, and the ancient temple of Qingfeng, shoushan qiao singing, Wenshu Temple and Guanyin Pavilion, Shoushan Duntai, Le Shi Ji Gong, Shou Shan Dou, General Dingshi, and Shoushan Qingyue are collectively known as the "Eight Views of Shoushan Mountain". Among them, "Shoushan Qiao Singing" is the most famous, becoming the sixth of the eight scenic spots in Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty, and it is rumored that there are immortals in Shoushan, "singing at night, the song is finally missing", which shows the luxuriant forest. There are several ravines in the south of Shoushan, springs and waterfalls, and extremely rich water resources. In the Ming Dynasty, the eight scenic spots of Liaoyang were: WangjingJieLou, Guangyou Xiongtu, Taishui Ring Belt, Qianshan Pingli, Xiangyan Buddha Dream, Shoushan Qiao Singing, Shoufeng Spring Waterfall, and Tuodong Hanging Pearl. With the change of the times, the country and mountains have changed hands, and the eight views of Liaoyang have also been renamed. In the Qing Dynasty, the eight scenery of Liaoyang were: Huabiao Xian pile, Dragon King Night Crossing, Divine Lamp Lonely Illumination, White Pagoda Evening Sunshine, Kuige Lingxiao, Shuangqiao Lying Rainbow, Songbai Qinsheng, and Shoushan Qiao Singing. Today, these historical beauties have ceased to exist after the baptism of several wars, and what remains are the bald mountains after the burning of the war, the bare rocks, and the remembrance of the humiliation of being beaten when they are backward, and the yearning for the beautiful mountains and forests of the past.
We Chinese tradition, we are particularly fond of landscapes. Mountains have a special meaning in China, and what they represent is not just landscape. Especially among the literati of ancient times, driven by such a state of mind, they turned to the landscape to seek liberation and liberation. Mountains were a mysterious existence for the ancients. Whenever there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, people think that those disasters are the work of the gods of the mountains and rivers, so they will go to the gods of the mountains and rivers to pray and pray.
Shoushan is surrounded by plains, and as far as its high point is concerned, the whole province or even the whole city seems to be nothing. But the status of Shoushan in Liaoyang is the same as the status of the "Five Mountains" in the country, which is a famous mountain of Liaoyang people, a mountain that we love deeply.
Shoushan is a low-key mountain, is a mountain that will not compete for favors, obviously its history is very rich, every Liaoyang person who has been on the first mountain, the first mountain in his mind may be different. Shoushan is a humble mountain, but it is a place with a deep history and culture. The geographical location of Shoushan is clear to everyone, located in the central part of Liaoning Province, 7.5 kilometers away from Liaoyang City, and Shoushan Town, the capital of Liaoyang County, is not far from the foot of the mountain on its south side. The altitude of Shoushan is only 198.9 meters, and another theory is 176.1 meters.
Although the first mountain is not high at all, high is a relative concept. Although the first mountain is not high, it is the first highland around it. You may not be very clear about the altitude of our City of Liaoyang, the average altitude of Liaoyang is 146 meters, the second highest in the province, second only to Chaoyang, and the same as Fuxin. The south, north, and west sides of Shoushan Mountain are all hirakawa wilderness on three sides, and there is a sweeping view, and only the southeast is vaguely connected by small hills that are not high, which is very prominent. By train, you can feel that all this road is the Great Plain, the endless Great Plain, the first mountain you can see.
There are many historical names for Shoushan
Although shoushan is inconspicuous, it is by no means unknown, as can be seen from the historical evolution of its name. In addition to the large number "Shoushan", it also has several lesser-known names
Mashou Mountain. In the main history of the country, it is mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the New Book of Tang, and its name was "Mashou Mountain" at that time.
Hand Mountain. In the LiaoShi Geographical Chronicle, it is called "Hand Mountain".
Stationed on the mountain. The name "Zhu Zhi Shan" comes from Emperor Taizong of Tang. In the nineteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (645 AD), Emperor Taizong of Tang personally conquered Goguryeo and stationed himself at Shoushan. When the emperor traveled, his temporary stay along the way was called "Stationing", so the first mountain was also called "Stationed Mountain".
Daxiang Mountain. Shoushan also has a name called "Daxiang Mountain", because the historical Shoushan was once full of trees, full of tall artemisia, fragrant and fragrant, so it is also called "DaxiangShan".
Daxiang Mountain. There is another theory that the first mountain is called "Daxiang Mountain", and it is said that some locals have seen the cliff carvings with the words "Daxiang Mountain" on the first mountain, but there is no empirical evidence at present.
Radar Mountain. Later, or in recent decades, because there is a radar station on Shoushan Mountain, to be honest, whether the small house on Shoushan is a radar station, I have not explored, anyway, where is the radar, so some people call Shoushan "Radar Mountain". Especially in recent years, Shoushan has become a short-distance hiking resort for donkey friends around Liaoyang, so everyone has spread the word of mouth, "Radar Mountain", a name with a very weak cultural atmosphere, has become the most widely used name, which is the benefit of "popular".
First mountain. How did the name "Shoushan" come about? In most of the WeChat public accounts that are more widely circulated articles, it is believed that the first mountain is the first of a thousand mountains, so it is called the first mountain. This conclusion is a bit arbitrary, and later I checked some information, the origin of the name "Shoushan", there are roughly five possibilities, or five statements:
The first theory comes from the shape of the mountain, that is, the five mountains extending from the main peak of shoushan are similar to the shape of people's palms, so the name is "Hand Mountain", which was later renamed Shoushan, which can be confirmed by the "Liao History and Geography".
The second theory also comes from the shape of the mountain, which is that the first mountain rises in the land of Hirakawa and is like a horse's head, so it is called "Mashou Mountain", which was later referred to as Shoushan. The first two theories are similar, except that one is viewed from the top of the mountain and the other is viewed from the ground, and the angle is different.
The third theory comes from an anecdotal legend that when the famous Tang Dynasty general Xue Rengui was conquering Goguryeo, he slapped a slap on the first mountain, because Xue Rengui's power was infinite, so he left a huge handprint, taking a harmonic sound, hence the name of the mountain. We now have a saying in Liaoyang folk:
Anshan got off his horse, and shoushan helped him,
The arrow pierced through the stone cave, and the river railing lit up with armor.
This sentence speaks of four places, Anshan, Shoushan, Tongming Mountain (there is a big stone cave on the mountain, not the one with the stone cave ditch) and Liangjia Mountain (there is Liangjia Village under the mountain) in Helan. However, this statement is rather absurd, and the Liaoyang County Chronicle scoffs at this, which records: "It is said that Xue Rengui's handprint is not worth a gimmick. It is also recorded that "because there are handprints on the stone on the southern slope of the mountain and handprints and sitting seals on the stones in the northeast foothills of the mountain, it is also known as the hand mountain." But in the "County Chronicle", it is said that "those who build good deeds are chiseled." "Obviously denying. Because Xue Rengui had conquered Liaodong, there were many place names related to Xue Rengui in the land of Liaoyang, and they would come to you one by one in the future.
The fourth theory is my initial judgment, saying that the first mountain is the first peak of a thousand mountains, the thousand mountains are the famous mountains of southern Liaoning, there are nine hundred and ninety-nine peaks, the first peak is not close to them, but far away in the north, leading the mountains, is the first of the thousand mountains, the peaks of the thousand mountains begin from this mountain, so the name of the mountain is the first mountain.
The fifth type says in the "Relics of Liaoyang Ancient Monuments" that "(Shoushan) is a lone peak towering, and then to the west is the plain, which is like the first of the peaks of the Liaojing Region", and the first mountain is not only the head of a thousand mountains, but the first mountain of all the mountains in the entire Liaodong territory.
Shoushan's name, for whatever reason, proves Shoushan's rich history. As for how it came to be, everyone thinks that the place name is a historical source and circulation.
Shoushan is located at the throat and is the only highland in the surrounding area, and a place like this must be very important in a strategic position. Therefore, since ancient times, as a barrier to Liaodong, Shoushan has been a place where soldiers must fight. Whenever there is a war, Shoushan either becomes the main battlefield or becomes a garrison place, witnessing the success or failure of the northeast.
Qin pursued Li Xin in a battle against the King of Yan
In 226 BC, the capital of the Yan state, Jicheng, was attacked by the Qin army, and The Yan king Xi and Crown Prince Dan led their troops to retreat to Xiangping (that is, Liaoyang), and the Qin general Li Xin led a large army to pursue and garrison Shoushan. King Xi of Yan was intimidated by Li Xin and listened to the deception of the King of Qin, so he killed Prince Dan and offered his first rank to the King of Qin for peace. But this was only in exchange for a lingering breath, and four years later, the Yan kingdom was still destroyed by Qin. This is probably the earliest record of Shoushan and the war.
Sima Yi's conquest of the Gongsun clan in Eastern Liaoning
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains was in chaos, and Gongsun Du, the Taishou of Liaodong, took the opportunity to divide Liaodong and proclaim himself the Marquis of Liaodong. By the time the Gongsun regime reached Gongsun Du's grandson Gongsun Yuan, Guannei was already the three kingdoms, and the Cao Wei regime in the north tended to be stable. In the first month of 238, Emperor Ming of Wei sent Sima Yi to conquer Liaodong and fought a fierce battle with Gongsun Yuan's army at Shoushan, the Liaodong army was defeated and retreated to Xiangping City, and 16 days later Xiangping City was destroyed, and the Gongsun clan regime collapsed.
Emperor Taizong of Tang personally conquered goguryeo
In 404 AD, Goguryeo, an ethnic minority regime in northeast China, occupied Liaodong and dominated the northeast. As a result, several wars between the Sui and Tang dynasties were triggered. The Sui Emperor returned three times, which was one of the reasons for the death of sui dynasty II. The Tang Dynasty made two conquests, and it was not until the time of Emperor Gaozong of Tang that the Goguryeo regime was truly eliminated. As mentioned earlier, in the nineteenth year of Tang Zhenguan (645 AD), Shoushan welcomed a great emperor in Chinese history, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who led his army to conquer Goguryeo. The two sides fought fiercely under Liaodong City, and Goguryeo was defeated and retreated to Liaodong City. Li Shimin led an army stationed at Shoushan to supervise the battle, and the generals Li Daozong (the main villain in the Yanyi novel) and Li Shixun (Xu Shixun, the prototype of Xu Maogong in the Yanyi novel) led the Tang army to attack Liaodong City and capture more than 20,000 people. Liaoyang City, which had been separated from the Central Plains regime for 241 years, finally returned to the Central Plains Han Dynasty, and Shoushan witnessed this historical moment.
Liao Shengzong put down the rebellion of the Great Yanlin Battle
During the Liao Dynasty, in June 1029 AD, the Great Yanlin of the Liaodong Sheli Army launched a rebellion and occupied Liaoyang, with the founding name "Xingliao". The Liao Sheng Sect sent troops to quell the rebellion, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides at Shoushan, and Great Yanlin was defeated and retreated, and later because the general opened the door and surrendered, Great Yanlin was captured, and the anti-Liao failed. Shoushan once again played a key role in the war.
Jin Taejo destroys Gao Yongchang in battle
Still in the Liao Dynasty, in 1116 AD, Gao Yongchang, a Bohai man, saw the decline of the Liao Dynasty and persuaded Bohai soldiers and people to rebel against the Liao, capture Liaodong (Liaoyang), establish the Great Yuan State, and proclaim himself the Emperor of the Great Bohai Sea. The last emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Yelü Yanxi, sent troops to conquest, Gao Yongchang asked for help from the emerging Jin state in the north, Jin Taizu finished Yan Aku to fight in the name of reinforcements, repelled the Liao army in front, and attacked Gao Yongchang with his backhand, and the two sides fought at Shoushan, and Gao Yongchang's soldiers were defeated and killed. Shoushan was again baptized by fire.
Zhang Shenwu's lone army aided the Liao
In March of the last year of the Ming Dynasty (1621 AD), Nurhaci led the Houjin army to attack Liaoyang, the Ming general Zhang Shenwu alone to aid liao, led his troops to cross the Liao River, there was no logistical supply, the generals were hungry and the Houjin army fought fiercely at the foot of Shoushan Mountain, and finally died of battle due to the invincibility of the crowd, Zhang Shenwu's troops were only 14 wounded and returned.
The Battle of Liaoyang in the Russo-Japanese War
In 1904, at the end of the late Qing Dynasty, Japan and Russia launched the Russo-Japanese War in order to compete for the interests of Korea, a northeastern part of china and its vassal country. The two sides only had 370,000 soldiers in shoushan alone, and countless shells blew shoushan into barren land, the rocks turned brown, and there were more than 500 thousand-year-old pine trees left on the mountain. Now, if you look closely around Shoushan, you can still faintly distinguish the remnants of the high, medium, and low trenches. Moreover, on the southwest side of the summit, there is also the ruins of a bunker, which is said to have been left over from the Battle of the First Mountain between Japan and Russia.
The Russo-Japanese War was extremely humiliating to the Chinese nation. Because this war was to divide northeast China, the Qing government at that time, in disregard of national sovereignty and people's lives and property, shamelessly declared "external neutrality" and set aside the area east of the Liao River as the war zone between the Japanese and Russian armies. Because of this war, the end result was a difficult victory for Japan. Since then, Japan's aggressive forces have expanded to northeast China, laying the groundwork for Japan's later launch of the "918 Incident" to comprehensively occupy northeast China, and also laying the groundwork for Japan's subsequent all-round invasion of China.
This war also intensified the determination of the emerging bourgeois revolutionaries to overthrow the Qing government, because after the Eight-Power Alliance signed the "Xinugu Treaty" with the Qing government, which was humiliated to the deepest abyss, the Qing government also felt that it could not be reformed, so it began some formal reforms, that is, the "New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty" that began in 1901. The content of the "New Deal at the end of the Qing Dynasty" is similar to that of the "Penghu Reform Law", and since the implementation of the New Deal, the country has also improved somewhat. However, the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War made Sun Yat-sen and other bourgeois revolutionaries more aware of the decay of the Qing government, so their demand was no longer reform, but the overthrow of the Qing government.
Therefore, for thousands of years, the first mountain, although it looks inconspicuous, has endured the baptism of war again and again, witnessed the rise and fall of one dynasty after another, and although it has been devastated, it has always been silently waiting there, tirelessly and painfully. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the roads we usually climb the mountain are paved by jingo iron horses and dyed with the blood of artillery fire.
History and culture, literati and inkers, leaving poems through the ages.
Tang Taizong and "Liaocheng Wangyue"
Emperor Taizong of Tang personally conquered Liaodong, which was the only personal conquest after Tang Taizong ascended the throne. In fact, this conquest of Goguryeo was not a success. After conquering more than ten cities such as Liaodong and Baiyan, the Tang army was blocked in Anshi (around present-day Haicheng) and held a stalemate until the autumn and winter when the grass was dry and frozen, and had to give up and return to the dynasty. Of course, this also laid the groundwork for Emperor Taizong's son, Emperor Gaozong of Tang, to completely conquer Goguryeo during the era, and xue Rengui, the general who later completely conquered Goguryeo, also came to prominence in this expedition.
Tang Taizong was stationed at Shoushan to direct the war, and on a moonlit night, he stood at the top of Shoushan Mountain, looked at Liaodong City under the darkness of night, and wrote a poem——
"Liaocheng Looking at the Moon"
The beginning of the moon is bright, and the brightness of the city is illuminated.
The reflection of the clouds is temporarily hidden, and the flowers in the trees are like embellished.
Lu full of laurel branches round, round loss mirror color lack.
The city was scattered, with a halo and a heavy knot.
Standing on the bow to the pill capital, the atmosphere of the demon is extinguished.
This poem is a victorious work after the Tang army captured Liaodong City. In the past, when I did not carefully consider this poem, I took it for granted that "Xuan Xuan" referred to the moon, but in fact, Xuan Xuan referred to the ancient name of the county, which was first set up by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the jurisdiction changed several times, roughly in the area of present-day Jilin and Eastern Liaoning and Hamgyong Province in Korea, and later generally referred to the northeast border plug. "Pill Capital" is also an ancient place name, in the northwest of present-day Ji'an, Jilin Province, once served as the royal city of Goguryeo, and during the Cao Wei dynasty, it was attacked by Youzhou Assassin Shi Wuqiu Jian, and almost destroyed the Goguryeo Kingdom.
This poem by Tang Taizong expressed the excitement after the capture of Liaodong City by looking at the moon, the first moonlight illuminated the land of Liaodong, the moonlight appeared when it was hidden, the shadows of the trees under the moon were delicate, the guizi of the moon palace seemed to be easy to pick when the moon was full, and the moonlight at the time of the moon was rich in mirror color. The last two sentences express the mood to let goguryeo's arrogance be extinguished like Wuqiu Jian.
In addition to Tang Taizong, later emperors, Kangxi and Qianlong all visited Liaoyang, and they all left poems, but it is impossible to verify whether it is related to Shoushan, and it is temporarily omitted here.
Han Chengxun and the Ming Dynasty "Eight Views of Liaoyang"
During the Ming Dynasty, Liaoyang had a geek who made great contributions to the historical and cultural development of the northeast region, his name was Han Chengxun, from a family of warriors, three generations above were military generals, his father had the Liaodong town guard general, and among the brothers there were also commanders and deputy general soldiers, only he was a literati, and he was not an official for life. From the poems and historical works he left behind, it can be felt that Han Chengxun has a deep attachment to the land of Liaoyang. Han Chengxun once wrote a group of poems of "Eight Views of Liaoyang", that is, he wrote a poem for each scene of the "Eight Views of Liaoyang", which is the earliest literary poem depicting the natural and cultural landscapes of Liaoyang in history.
Liaoyang "eight views of the ancient city" said, the Ming Dynasty has eight views of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty has the Qing Dynasty eight views, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, the first mountain must occupy a seat. Eight Views of the Ming Dynasty, namely:
Wangjing Jieju, Guangyou Xiongtu,
Taishui Ring Belt, Thousand Mountains Column Screen,
Xiangyan Dream, Huabiao Xianyin,
Shoufeng Spring Waterfall, Top Cave Hanging Pearl.
Among them, the seventh scene, "Shoushan Spring Waterfall", is about Shoushan Mountain, and Han Chengxun composed a poem for "Shoushan Spring Waterfall":
The first mountain is hugging itself, and looking up at it like a flag.
The number of the platform Qingyun came and went, and the spring flew white water to Rusi.
Because he knew that Wei would camp and remember when the Tang king was stationed.
Only the name of the city is different from the past, and the abandonment of the land in the Central Plains makes people suspicious.
It can be seen that during the Ming Dynasty, there were springs and waterfalls on the first mountain, but unfortunately, the current shoushan mountain has been through several wars, and it is already a thin spring and a low peak.
Wang Erlie and the Qing Dynasty "Eight Views of Liaoyang"
In the Qing Dynasty, there was another talent in Liaoyang, and he was Wang Erlie. In the early years, the "Liaoyang County Chronicle" praised him as "a famous contemporary of Zihan calligraphy and the first person in the Qing Dynasty". This "Kanto talent" who was active in the Qianlong and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty also recorded the "Eight Views of Liaoyang" at that time with a poetic pen, which became a valuable material for posterity to explore the history of Liaoyang's development. Due to social changes and the alienation of the concept of the people of the times, the Eight Views of Liaoyang in the Qing Dynasty have been very different from those of the Ming Dynasty. Eight views of the Qing Dynasty, namely:
Huabiao Xianzhuang, Dragon King Night Ferry,
The lamp is lonely, the white tower is sunny,
Kui Ge Lingxiao, Double Bridge Lying Rainbow,
The sound of the pine cypress piano, the first mountain tree singing.
Replace the large HD image
The last scene, "Shoushan Qiao Singing", is also about Shoushan, and Wang Erlie's poem is written like this:
Bear the tree over the mountain to exhaust the autumn flowers,
The trail bends the stone edges obliquely.
Man to ease the illusion,
Straightened out the cloud yarn.
According to the Guanyin Pavilion stele in the eastern foothills of Shoushan Mountain, it is said that there used to be immortals who collected firewood behind the mountain and often sang at night. The song is melodious, drunk on the listener, but only hears its voice and does not see its people.
He Mengyao's "Xiangping Miscellaneous Songs"
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a famous doctor named He Mengyao. This man was an all-rounder, an official, well versed in medicine, who wrote many medical treatises and knew poetry, astronomy, mathematics, and music. In the tenth year of Yongzheng, He Mengyao served as the governor of Liaoyang Prefecture and left a set of poems of "Xiangping Miscellaneous Songs", of which one directly describes Shoushan:
Standing at the head of the mountain, ten thousand horses returned that year.
The white-robed man has gone, where is the soap hat guest?
The trees are gloomy and the wind and smoke are blowing.
Don't ask Chengguo, Guihe is also sad.
In the poem, the poet stands on the first mountain and looks up, thinking about the ancient battlefield where ten thousand horses galloped, but now these have long since dissipated, leaving empty forest bushes and wind and smoke. Three allusions are used in the poem. Among them, "white-robed man" refers to the "white-robed general" Xue Rengui, during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Xue Rengui made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty's recovery of Liaodong, and the novels and commentaries of "White Robes Conquering the East" are still circulating. "Soap hat guest" refers to the great hermit Guan Ning, Guan Ning took refuge in Liaodong at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, devoted himself to the indoctrination of ritual music, behaved as a table, learned to be a teacher, brought the etiquette civilization of the Central Plains to Liaodong, and had a profound impact on the culture and education of northeast China. "Guihe" refers to Ding Lingwei, a Liaodong man in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is recorded in the "Afterword of searching for gods" that Ding Lingwei learned the Tao in the Lingxu Mountain, and after becoming an immortal, the crane returned, wandering in the air, leaving behind the sigh of "there are birds and birds Ding Lingwei, go to the home for a thousand years and come back today, the city is like the old people, why not learn the immortal tomb tired".
Miao Gong'en's first mountain poem
Miao Gong'en was a famous scholar of Shengjing in the Jiaqing and Daoguang eras, known as the lord of the Northeast poetry circle and the taidou at that time, and the calligrapher Wei Xie at that time praised him for "exclusively occupying the altar for sixty years". He wrote several poems about Liaoyang, two of which were about Shoushan.
First, "Over the Mountain":
The ruins of the old fortress cannot be found,
Where the wasteland is the great star sinks.
The clouds of Wei and Jin are exhausted,
There are green mountains from ancient to modern times.
Second, "First Mountain":
The three peaks lean on Han Cui pingkai,
The cap still exists in the ancient flintlock.
The white-headed veteran said the past,
The boy once picked up the treasure knife.
Compared with He Mengyao's "Xiangping Miscellaneous Songs", the level of these two poems is higher, but the meaning is similar, both borrow the historical relics of Shoushan Mountain, or the historical allusions related to Shoushan, depicting the past wars and fires that have long been human, the stars are dim, and only the green mountains and green waters of Shoushan are left.
That was that era, thousands of years ago, the green mountains and green waters were still there, and now if you don't deliberately protect them, a hill as big as the first mountain doesn't take two years. I don't know if you remember that in the early years of this century, the growth rate of the state's fixed asset investment began to be full of construction sites throughout the country. At that time, the first mountain was opened as a quarry, and within a few months, a mountain nest was blown up. Now we can see shoushan on Shengli Road and the Harbin-Dalian Railway, and if we don't stop, Shoushan will have been razed to the ground. After that, when we carry this pile of poems to find the remains of Shoushan, it is not "there are green mountains left from ancient times", but "there are no roots and hairs left from ancient times".
Ma Lilin's "Staying in the Mountains of Huaigu"
During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, there was also a literati named Ma Lilin, who also wrote a poem "Staying on the Mountain of Huaigu":
Cursory monuments record battle exploits,
The Sui family's ruts were almost the same.
Emperor Wen is ultimately a wise Lord,
The end of the road can think of Tian Sheweng.
The "Emperor Wen" here refers to Tang Taizong, who said that the Tang army marched on Goguryeo in the east, and hurriedly erected a monument to commemorate it after the victory of the Battle of Shoushan, which is almost no different from the Sui Dynasty, which once failed to conquer Goryeo, but Tang Taizong was after all an excellent and wise monarch, and did not think of ordinary people until the end of the road. That's roughly what it means.
Everyone should note that almost all the poems depicting Shoushan are nostalgic, which also fully explains the history of Shoushan.
"The Crown of Liaodong Literati" jin Yudi's first mountain poem
Mr. Jin Yudi is the pride of Liaoyang people, born in the lighthouse Bajiazi Village. He was a professor at Northeastern University, Nanjing University, Central University, Peking University, and Fu Jen University, and is a famous historian, writer, epigrapher, philologist, archaeologist in modern China, and the main pioneer and founder of northeast history research. Chinese modern politician, educator, calligrapher, and Kuomintang elder Yu Youren called him "the crown of the Liaodong literati". Mr. Jin Yudi left more than 1,800 poems in his lifetime, of which two were recited in his hometown shoushan.
First, "Over the First Mountain to Climb":
The first mountain stands tall in the eastern liaoning, and the rugged and rugged chemical industry is admired.
The former dynasty of the hegemony stayed with the house, and the temple gate is still fresh today.
Le Ming saw tang zong's traces and slapped xue ligong.
After several times, he could not climb it, and the dou altar commanded Fei Hong.
In this poem, we can see the unique vision of a historian, "hegemonic former dynasty", referring to the regimes that divided Liaodong or raised troops from Liaoyang to compete for supremacy in the world, "with the fall", that is, these regimes fell like meteors. The poem also mentions Tang Taizong and Xue Rengui (薛礼, literally Rengui). This poem mentions our Qingfeng Temple, and Mr. Jin later made a poem specifically for Qingfeng Temple.
Second, "Qingfeng Temple":
The mud paint trail tail knows what it is like, and ten miles to find the temple to the temple gate.
The grass, trees, mountains and rivers are victorious, and the sand worm ape crane is the wronged soul.
The Buddha lowered his eyebrows, and there were no traces of the general's palm.
Sima Gongsun was still lonely, and it was difficult to discuss the rise and fall of the former dynasty.
"Mud-painted tail" refers to walking back and forth on a muddy road. The "sandworm ape crane" describes the soldiers who died in shoushan or the people who died in the war. "Sima Gongsun" refers to the Liaodong Battle between Sima Yi and Gongsun Yuan.
The feeling of these two poems is completely different, the first poem "The first mountain stands tall in Liaodong", "Feihong under the distant command of the Doutan", etc., give people an open and majestic atmosphere, and fresh and natural. The second poem is the same as writing the first mountain, the same is to lament history, but it is obvious that the former is full of vigor, but it is concluded with words such as "unjust soul", "loneliness", and "difficult argument", which proves that the author's state of mind when writing the two poems is completely different. In fact, the second was written in 1934, when Mr. Kim was trapped in the puppet state of Manchukuo and trekked in an involuntary situation.
Qingfeng Temple on Shouzan
According to historical records, Qingfeng Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and later destroyed. In the fifth year of Ming Longqing (1571), the Qingfeng Temple was rebuilt on the site of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been 446 years. Now Qingfeng Temple basically retains the appearance of the Ming Dynasty, and its existing halls such as the mountain gate, the main hall, the apse hall and the east and west side halls are all built in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the main hall still retains the Ming Dynasty mountain style practice, which is a typical representative of the existing Ming Dynasty temple architecture in the province. According to historical records, the Qingfeng Temple was rebuilt once in the forty-fourth year of Qianlong (1779) and the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857) in the Qing Dynasty. In 1988, Qingfeng Temple was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit.
Although the Qingfeng Temple occupies a small area, but because of its long history, and there are the most famous emperors in the history of Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Qing Shengzu Kangxi who have stayed in the temple, and there are relatively complete Ming Dynasty architectural complexes in the province, so it is called "the first stop outside Shanhaiguan", which can be said to be well-deserved.
In front of the gate of The Seifu-ji Temple there is a couplet:
In front of the mountain, there is a breeze blowing from time to time
The banks of QingyunTai often get the sun shining brightly
It is rumored to have been written by the Qianlong Emperor. I have not examined the authenticity of this link, and I dare not jump to conclusions, but if it is really written by the Qianlong Emperor, I think that this link should be regarded as a super level of play in the ink treasure left by the Qianlong Emperor before his death. As we all know, the poems of the Qianlong Emperor are record-breaking, leaving more than 40,000 poems, but unfortunately none of them or none of them have been passed down from generation to generation, and the level is really not high, but the level of these two sentences of qingfeng temple is very high.
Wang Erlie, the teacher of the Jiaqing Emperor, who was also introduced earlier, studied at The Qingfeng Temple and wrote a couplet for the front hall of the Qingfeng Temple:
Follow the avenue to look up at the alpine Zhuoer
Knock on the Zen Pass and Xu Bu Yu Feng is confused
Wang Erlie also left a plaque:
"Ephemeral Flowers"
It is a pity that the original traces of this couplet and this plaque have long since disappeared after the chaotic war years.
Famous mountains have undergone several storms, and ancient temples have gone through vicissitudes several times. In addition to these, The Temple has left behind many exquisite architectural, sculptures, paintings and historical relics, as well as the legendary Qingfeng Eight Treasures. But today, an outsider of mine in shoushan to talk about shoushan is already a banmen axe, in the Qingfeng Temple to talk about qingfeng temple that is absolutely dare not, the main thing is to avoid timidity.
Guanyin Pavilion in the eastern foothills of Shoushan Mountain
In Shoushan, in addition to The Sekifu Temple, it is said that there was also a Guanyin Pavilion and a Three Emperors Nunnery in history, which were later annihilated. I don't know about the Three Emperors' Nunnery, but the Guanyin Pavilion is clearly recorded in the Fengtian Tongzhi, the Liaoyang County Chronicle and the Liaoyang Ancient Relics Anecdotes, and there are also Qing Dynasty Stone Carvings in the annexes of the Guanyin Pavilion to prove it.
At the beginning of 2004, Wang Changchu and Feng Changxin, the 21st generation of Xuan disciples of the Quanzhen Sect Jinshan Sect, came to this place, and saw that the mountain scenery was quite good, and there were ancient legends, the temple had ruins, and the history was long, so it was decided to restore the Guanyin Pavilion on the original site of the Guanyin Pavilion. At present, the restored Guanyin Pavilion sits on the west and faces the east, and has built the Great Immortal Hall, the Ancestral Master Hall, the God of Wealth Temple, the Guanyin Pavilion, the Dragon King Hall, and so on, which has formed a very large scale.
As for why is a Taoist temple called Guanyin Pavilion? In Chinese Taoism, there is a saying that Lao Tzu hua Hu, saying that after Lao Tzu left the customs, he came to the Western Regions to educate the People of the Western Regions and the Tianzhu People. According to this legend, Buddhism comes from Taoism, and Shakyamuni taught Lao Tzu to incarnate as a Buddha. Of course, Buddhism does not recognize this, and in ancient times Buddhism and Taoism argued several times about this matter. However, after Buddhism spread to China, Buddhism and Taoism absorbed each other, and both incorporated some of each other's characters into their own religious systems, which is relatively common. The image of Guanyin is a symbol of compassion, the most widely believed of all the bodhisattvas, and when Buddhism came to China, it was originally the image of a man, and later gradually formed the image of a woman in China, which was also obviously influenced by Chinese Taoism. So there is Guanyin in Buddhism, and there is Guanyin in Taoism, which may be a fusion of religions.
The inscription of Qingfeng Temple records that "Zi Temple also does not know what year it was created, and visited its broken stele to the Tang and Song Dynasties and the Yuan Ming Dynasty. "There are historical records that it was built in the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1571), and has a history of 432 years, and the Qing Dynasty has been repaired and expanded many times, and its main hall and side hall still maintain the style of the Ming Dynasty. The main hall is a xieshan-style building, which is a typical representative of the existing Ming Dynasty temple architecture in the province. The temple sits north and faces south, and has three halls: the mountain gate, the main gate, the main hall, the east and west wing rooms, the apse hall and the east and west halls, and the northwest corner of the west hall has a Fox Immortal Hall added in the Qing Dynasty. The temple covers an area of 3418 square meters, with 34 halls and more than 100 Buddha statues. During the Qing Dynasty, there were dozens of monks, and there were a large number of scriptures and utensils, and there was an endless stream of incense burners who entered the temple to praise the scriptures.
Before going to Liaoyang Shoushan, I only heard that it got its name from the first of a thousand mountains. The dangers and wonders of Anshan's thousand mountains have long been famous, so what about the first peak of this thousand lotus mountains? Qingfeng Temple of the Ming Dynasty, the first stop of the first mountain in history, is a temple at the foot of the mountain——— the Ming Dynasty building Qingfeng Temple.
This is one of the more completely preserved Ming Dynasty architectural complexes in the province, and was listed as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in 1988. There is an inscription built in the Ming Dynasty at Qingfeng Temple, which has a history of more than 400 years, and it has been repaired and expanded many times in the Qing Dynasty, but the main hall and the side hall still maintain the Style of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Xieshan-style building of the main hall, which is a typical representative of the existing Ming Dynasty temple architecture in the province.
The temple is small and has three floors facing north and south. It is said that in the Qing Dynasty, there were dozens of monks here, and there was an endless stream of incense burners who entered the temple to praise the scriptures. However, today's place is slightly deserted, on the walls on both sides of the main entrance, there are two poems carved on the white jade, on the left is the "Liaocheng Wangyue" written by Tang Taizong Li Shimin when he entered Liaoyang, which probably tells the happy mood of Li Shimin after entering Liaoyang and climbing to the head of Liaoyang City and looking at the moon; on the right is a poem written by the Qing Kangxi Emperor when he inspected Liaoyang, depicting and praising the first mountain.
Qingfeng Temple is known as the first stop outside shanhaiguan "Qingfeng Temple", it is one of the more complete preservation of the Ming Dynasty architectural complex in the province, Qingfeng Temple is known for its simplicity, elegance, beauty and magic, very famous in the southern Liaoning area, in 1988 was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit. To understand Qingfeng Temple, we must first understand Shoushan, because Qingfeng Temple is located in the southern foothills of Shoushan Mountain, 15 miles southwest of Liaoyang. Qingfeng Temple Scenic Area is located in Shoushan Town, the county seat of Liaoyang County, between Liaoyang and Anshan cities, with superior geographical location and convenient transportation. Shoushan is the first mountain of a thousand mountains, is a historical mountain, and has the reputation of Tang King Li Shimin stationed in The Mountain. Qingfeng Temple Scenic Area is located next to the provincial highway Liao'an Road, since ancient times has been a place of contention between soldiers and families, many important wars in history such as Sima Yi's conquest of Gongsun Yuan, Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, and the Russo-Japanese War occurred here. Qingfeng Temple on the south slope is known as the first stop outside Shanhaiguan, built in the fifth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1571), its mountain gate, main hall, apse hall and east and west hall and other existing halls are Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings, but also a relatively complete preservation of the ancient building complex in the province, the mountain gate wall is embedded with the Qing Xianfeng seven years (1857) erected stone stele, the main hall still retains the Ming Dynasty Mountain style practice, is a typical representative of the existing Ming Dynasty temple architecture in the province. There is a whitebark pine plant behind the main hall, which is rare in China. In 1988, Qingnei Temple was listed as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit. Wang Erlie, a talented son of Kanto, inscribed a four-character plaque in the temple with the words "Ephemeral Flowers Fragrant Yuan", and the son of the sect, Yan, once knelt here, causing the name of Shoushan Qingfeng Temple to be shocked, and there were dozens of monks in the Qing Dynasty, nearly a hundred Buddha statues, and a large number of scriptures and utensils. The secluded Qingfeng Temple, the babbling of the stream in the rainy season, the lush flowers and trees in the summer, the green seasons of the pines and cypresses, and the jade fence vermilion wall shines. The temple windows are hidden, the bells are melodious, everywhere is exquisite and transparent, and the carved beams are painted. It can be said that the window open wind light building group is small, the curtain roll car is slow and smokey, and it is a wonderland where red dust is not enough. Natural beauties such as Shoushan Qiao Singing, Qingfeng Ancient Temple, Wenshu Monastery and Guanyin Pavilion, Shoushan Pier, Le Shi Ji Gong, Shou Shan Dou, Shogun Standing Stone, Shou Shan Qingyue and other natural beauties are also a good place for tourists to visit today. Famous mountains have weathered the wind and rain, and ancient temples have also experienced vicissitudes. After several disasters and repairs, in 1993, with the active efforts of provinces, cities and counties, more than 1 million yuan was invested to rebuild the Qingfeng Temple, carving stone lions, repairing mountain gate rows, carving Moya characters, buying stone iron incense burners, paving mountain roads, building parking lots, etc. A Qingfeng Temple covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters stands on shoushan with its simple and natural style. In recent years, with the restoration of Qingfeng Temple, tourists and believers have come to visit this temple in an endless stream. The special accumulation of history and culture has enabled the ancient temple Qingfeng Temple to show unlimited development space in the new century. Several major wars, ancient war sites and relics in history have provided a profound historical and cultural accumulation for the construction of the ancient battlefield exhibition hall here. There is convenient transportation and a privileged location between urban agglomerations. The historical name of Qingfeng Temple is well-known, shoushan has the reputation of the Tang dynasty king stationed in the mountain, has a rich history and legends, and has rich natural resources such as the eight scenic spots of shoushan, which provides a good development prospect for the construction of the only war exhibition tourism project within the scope of Liaoyang. The Liaoyang County Chronicle records that in the fifth year of the Ming Dynasty (1571 AD), the Qingfeng Ancient Temple was rebuilt on the site of the Tang Dynasty at the southern foot of the First Mountain of the Thousand Mountains. Qianlong 44 years (1779 AD), Xianfeng 7 years (1857 AD) each rebuilt once, the temple has a total of 37 buildings, divided into two courtyards, left and right have a room, east and west have a cross-courtyard, construction area of 2638 square meters, covers an area of 3418 square meters. Qingfeng Temple Scenic Area is located in Shoushan Town, where the county seat is located, and there are bells and drum towers on both sides of the mountain gate, with a spire rolled eaves and a high angle of the building, which resembles the wings of a bird, which is beautiful and generous. The three main halls, the single eaves of the mountain-style wooden frame structure, the plaque on the door, "Qin Meng Han Jue", the Zen room door plaque "Tan Hua Xiang Yuan", the couplet "Dengda Road A Vision of The Mountain Zhuoer, the Zen Pass and Xu Bu Yufeng Lingyan" are the Liaoyang Township Xiantai Master Taibao Wang Erlie's Ink Treasure (due to the chaos of the war during the restoration, Wang Erlie's two plaques and couplets were stolen without a trace). Inside the hall there are large incense burners, offerings, stone carvings, water carvings, mud paintings and bronze gods and Buddhas. On the walls are ancient paintings such as carp lying lotus, mu flute blowing, and three apse halls, but the eaves are hard mountain-style wooden frame structures, covered with small tiles, dripping cat heads, hedges and running animal ridges, doors and windows are scarlet, and good men and women who enter the mountain at every temple fair are endless.

The layout structure is dense and moderate, the bucket arch is ingenious and exquisite, the Zhulan painting building is simple and thick, the scenery is beautiful and unique, it is the only well-preserved ancient temple in Liaoyang area, which was changed to a school in the late Qing Dynasty, and in 1955 it was changed to the Fourth Staff Sanatorium of Anshan City, and later it has been a farm, chicken farm, school, shelter, etc., and is now a provincial cultural relics protection unit.
The mountain gate of Seifu-ji Temple
On the walls on both sides of the main entrance, two poems are carved on the white jade, which is one of the "Eight Treasures of the Breeze" "Two Sacred Poems". On the left is the "Liaocheng Wangyue" written by Tang Taizong Li Shimin when he was stationed in Liaoyang, which was supplemented by the famous calligrapher Wen Tongchun. "The beginning of the moon is bright, and the brightness of The Chenghui is illuminated." The reflection of the clouds is temporarily hidden, and the flowers in the trees are like embellished. Lu is full of gui branches, the wheel loss mirror color is lacking, but the lincheng is scattered, with a halo and heavy knots. Stand in the nine capitals and stop watching the demon atmosphere disappear. "Probably means that Li Shimin entered Liaoyang and climbed to the head of Liaoyang City, but he saw that at the beginning of the next month, the moon was bright and clean, and the light was round and the stele. The moon is sometimes obscured by floating clouds, and sometimes the face is exposed, and the moonlight shines from the gaps in the branches and leaves of the tree to the ground, embellishing the speckled patterns. The shimmer gradually brightens the laurel branches, and the mirror color is missing when the full moon is lost. The shadows are scattered and heavy, stationed in Liaoyang, looking at the moon lyrically, expressing the poet's happy mood of "watching the atmosphere of the demon". (Xuan Suo: The name of an ancient county, established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including Liaodong, southern Jilin and the area around South Hamjeong Province, Korea.) Jiudu: The name of the ancient city, northwest of Ji'an, Jilin Province. Stationing: Ancient emperors traveled, stopping temporarily on the way. On the right is a poem inscribed by the Kangxi Emperor Xuan Ye of the Qing Dynasty when he was touring Liaoyang: "Su will drive Xuan to Liaoyang, and the warm sun will smoke hundreds of herbs... The moss in the forest invaded the path, and the wall was decorated with new flowers and women's walls..." was written by the calligrapher Yang Yulin. Both poems depict and praise shoushan. These two are the most accomplished emperors in Chinese history, and they have both visited Shoushan and left poems, which really adds luster to the treasure land of Shoushan. This couplet on the inner side of the mountain gate "There is a breeze blowing in front of the mountain, and the shore of Qingyun Terrace often shows the sunset to the misty world" was proposed by the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty for the Qingfeng Temple, when Wang Erlie, the talented son of the Guandong Dynasty, accompanied Qianlong Dong to travel here, the Qianlong Emperor Shixing Dafa, leaving Mo Bao, at the same time Wang Erlie also mentioned "Obey the road to look up at the mountain Zhuoer, buckle the Zen Pass and Xu Bu Yufeng Cold", now engraved on the pillar of the main gate, you can see it in a moment. At the same time, Wang Erlie also mentioned the four characters of "Ephemeral Fragrant Yuan" for the "Qingfeng Temple", which can also be seen in the main hall
A pair of turquoise lions in the temple, the female lion in the west is intact, and the male lion in the east has a crack in the body. According to the locals, there is also a legend here.
According to legend, at the beginning of the establishment of the Qingfeng Temple, a high monk from all over the world came here, and when he stroked the top of the male lion's head, his middle finger was accidentally scratched, and the blood dripped on the male lion's heavenly spirit cover. It was this drop of middle finger blood that gave this male stone lion the spirit to escape from here and ascend to kingship. One night, when the storm was raging, the male stone lion felt that the time had come to soar, but it was discovered by the angel patroller, and the male and female thunderbolts went to split the male stone lion in half. Since then, this male stone lion has guarded the Buddha Gate with his heart, and it has not fallen to this day.
Of particular note is turquoise, the material for carving lions, which is named for its resemblance to a pine ball, and is a precious jade that is said to be found only in the northeast of Liaoning. As early as ancient Egypt and ancient Persia, turquoise was regarded as a mysterious and evil repellent thing, as an amulet and funerary product. Despite all the catastrophes, The Temple has been well preserved. It is said that during the Russo-Japanese War, the two sides fought a tug-of-war for 30 days, blowing up the original lush Shoushan mountain to only stone, and only one shell could destroy the entire temple, but the Sekifu-ji Temple was able to escape this disaster.
However, the locals have their own opinions. Legend has it that when the war broke out, Shouzan became a barren land, but The Kiyofuji Temple did not receive a single shell, and the reason was on the body of the Japanese marshal Nogi. Legend has it that on the first day of the war, Nogi dreamed of a fat Maitreya Buddha and became a brother with him, asking him not to shell the temple on the south slope, and the next day when Nogi woke up, he ordered the soldiers not to drop the shells into the south slope. After the war, Nogi searched for traces, and sure enough, there was a temple on the slope of the south mountain. As a result, the saying that the Buddha's apparition blessed the thousand-year-old temple was passed down.
Climbing the mountain up the mountain trail, you will begin the real journey to the first mountain. The road begins with a gentle pace, but as it continues upwards, the mountain becomes steeper. According to local elders, before the baptism of fire here, the historical first mountain was once full of trees and shaded the sky.
According to historical records, the first mountain was originally named Daxiang Mountain, and the mountain was full of artemisia grass and the fragrance was abnormal. And now the first mountain, the most is the stone. According to reports, the stone of the first mountain has a peculiar shape, some are nestled with each other, some are separated, the size is different, and the shape is similar but reflects each other. From the top of the mountain, from this small mountain, you can glimpse the steepness of a thousand mountains. Around the summit, there are three-story trenches of high, medium and low, and at the southwest bend there is a fortress with a wall of stone, which is said to have been left over from the Liaoyang Battle of the Russo-Japanese War from August 6 to September 4, 1904.
The Battle of Liaoyang during the Russo-Japanese War was an important battle after the Battle of Lushunkou. Liaoyang was a strategic location in the south of northeast China and had an important influence on the entire Russo-Japanese War. From August 6 to September 4, 1904, the Russian army withdrew from Liaoyang, and the battle lasted for 30 days. The Battle of Liaoyang, the main battlefield is in Shoushan, known locally as the Battle of Shoushan.
In this battle, Kubatkin led the Russian army into three lines of defense, put 220,000 troops into the battlefield, and various artillery weapons. The Japanese army, on the other hand, divided into three armies and put in three armies, totaling 134,000 people. On August 29 of that year, the Japanese army captured the Mengjiafang of Dashimenling, and after the two armies of the middle and left armies met, they jointly advanced into Shoushan, thus opening the prelude to the Battle of Shoushan.
The main battlefield of the Battle of Shoushan was near the main peak of Shoushan, and the Russian army built curved forts facing each other and the five- and four-cornered mingguel bunkers on the positions. By September, the war had finally ended with the defeat of the Russians, with more than 42,000 officers and men killed or wounded by the two armies, and what awaited them was the next battle in Shenyang.
Bidding farewell to this protracted war, and looking back at shoushan Mountain, the peak is wide and flat, about 2,000 square meters, thousands of soldiers can be stationed during the war, and there are well-preserved ancient beacon towers and almost rusty iron rings.
According to the data, 1 km southeast of the main peak, there is the ruins of the Shoushanling Ancient Road, and there is a earthen beacon tower on the east side of the road entrance, which is about 4 meters high and 6 meters in diameter. Southeast of the beacon tower, there is a steamed bun-shaped hill, after the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese called the mountain "Kikuyama", now known as Shoushan Dongnan Mountain, also known as "Mantou Mountain", has been built as Dongshan Park, the top of the mountain built with a two-story octagonal "Cuifeng Pavilion".
In 1904, the Japanese and Russians fought fiercely here, and the stones on the top of the mountain were mostly blown up, and there are no boulders today. Directly east of Mantou Mountain, there is an east-west beam, called Xiangyang Temple North Mountain, on the mountain now exists the russo-Japanese war and liberation war built bunkers, two are basically intact, 6 have the lower half, of which on a cement bunker, leaving a footprint and a patriotic Chinese poem. Shell casings and scattered shells from the Russo-Japanese War were often found on the mountains.
This seemingly low hill has its own unique steepness, just like itself, uniquely exists in its own world, through the wind and rain, constantly witnessing the traces of history.
