Xu Xiake, a geographer, traveler and writer of the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his 600,000-word geographical masterpiece "Xu Xiake's Travels" compiled after 30 years of investigation: "The return of the Five Mountains does not look at the Mountains and the Yellow Mountains and does not look at the Mountains. Although there is such a thing, the phoenix source can still go away.
Fenghuangyuan is independent of the Huangshan Scenic Area and is a grand canyon between Xiandu Peak and Bushui Peak in the east of Huangshan Mountain, with a depth of more than 10 kilometers.
Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan raised the phoenix, the hometown of the phoenix, and because there is a strange stone on Xiandu Peak, shaped like a phoenix, it is high and wants to fly, and it has the potential to come out, so it is called phoenix source.
There is a pass in the Fenghuangyuan Valley, called Wuniguan, built in the Ming Dynasty, with a history of 400 years, which is an important pass for entering Huizhou and Huangshan in ancient times, and it is also a place where soldiers must fight.
On the afternoon after the "frost fell", I waited for a group of tourists to move forward with the attitude of "Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now I am striding forward from the beginning"!
From the 205 National Highway across the Phoenix Ancient Stone Bridge, you enter the Phoenix Source. Looking up, I saw a stone phoenix lying on the green mountain in front of Bushui Peak opposite, smiling at the blue sky and white clouds. Without allowing her to "phoenix three nods", I preemptively saw the salute and arched my hand: "I will come too!" ”
Along the way, winding and twisting, beautiful scenery...
The Phoenix Pond is 15 meters in diameter and 4 meters deep, and it is full of light. There is a huge rock nearby that is eye-catching, and the three large/red character stone carvings of "Phoenix Source" jump on it, which is inscribed by patriotic lady Yuan Xiaoyuan when she visited Phoenix Source.
Who is Yuan Xiaoyuan? In the 1940s, she was The Deputy Consul of the Consulate in Kolkata, India, and was the first female diplomat in our country. Are you still confused? Let's put it this way, the famous writer Qiong Yao is her aunt and niece.
Tianma Stream is a mountain stream in front of the auspicious platform that looks at the canyon and the peaks of the mountain, and is said to be the place where the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan released the Tianma. This celestial horse actually refers to the maned antelope, also known as the Sumen antelope and the four different.
A local male middle-aged tour guide who accompanied us pointed to the boulder lying in the Tianma Stream, and Gu Pan said, "Attention, this stone can be seen three times!" ”
Stories such as "two birds with one stone" and "three laughs" are hearsay. But like a fish and three eating, one stone can see three, and today I am lonely and unheard of!
The tour guide suddenly said in the autumn wind: "Look, stone coffin!" ”
The crowd was shocked before they nodded, "Like! ”
The tour guide said calmly: "As the old saying goes, go out to see the coffin, promote the official and get rich." ”
At this point, the crowd did not blame the tour guide for being scary in the daytime. When he was in a good mood, he felt that his voice was clear and round, like a yellow warbler in the valley.
Turning around the corner, the tour guide's voice suddenly became loud, and he smiled happily: "Sleeping Beauty, China's four beauties!" ”
In the babbling of the stream, the boulders are divided into four displays, and the slender and slender silhouette can faintly distinguish the head and the tunic of the waist...
"Sinking fish and falling geese closing the moon and shy flowers" actually gathered in a stream, which is a major event in China's canyoning industry. How can such a grand occasion be summed up by the word "living color and fragrance"! I waited for a full meal and showed off, and secretly celebrated!
When I looked back at the four side-by-side boulders from above, the shape of the saddle was vividly remembered in the sparkling water.
In contemplation and contemplation, the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing the stream and flying around, as if there were thousands of troops "fast horses and whips without saddle", unstoppable, straight to the Mud Pass to kill and run!
Strange stone love is not over, and see Qi Songlai...
Huangshan, "no tree is not pine, no stone is not pine, no pine is not strange". Huangshan pine is a variant of Chinese pine tree formed by the unique landform and climate of Huangshan.
They are not informal, do not care about the soil, or lean on the straight, or independent peaks, or upside down cliffs; some follow the cliffs and ravines, around the rocks; some through the cracks, breaking out of the rocks. Quite "crown covered with Beijing", Si Shu's unique temperament!
As a side gate courtyard of the Huangshan Scenic Area - Fenghuangyuan, the pine trees here are varied, not to mention more.
Amazingly, there is a pine, with a strange shape, the roots tenaciously burrowed into the crevasse of the rock, the body hovered outside, and the tail pine needles were thick and short, green and dense, soaring into the sky.
With such a combination of gods and gods, the name of this pine should be dragon.
The dragon is a horned dragon in ancient Chinese mythology and legend, "a horse eight feet above is a dragon", "a two-horned one is a dragon".
Standing under the Dragon Tree, thinking about the arrogance of its tail flying into the sky, I had to sigh its spirit of "holding fast to the green mountains and not relaxing" and "thousands of grinding blows to return strength"!
There is a poem as evidence: "Awe-inspiring relatively dare to deceive each other, straight to the clouds is not surprising." The root to the nine springs has no curve, and only the dragon in the world knows. ”
In the phoenix source, "Qisong Weishi Natural Pure Stream Grass Mountain Flower Free Fang" is reasonable, but the unexpected shooting is the long stream of green water!
The streams elsewhere are always clear and transparent, but here the water is emerald and turquoise, especially the cat's eye pool. Like a cat's eye, the pool is flexible and bright, and can change with the intensity of light.
When I stared into the deep cat's eye pool, and looked a little confused, wondering who I was, in an instant, a cat suddenly appeared.
The cat races snow all over, lazy and cute, the cat's eyes are blue, and the race is like a blue sea and clear sky.
Oh, this is a very long-lived spirit cat from Persia in Fengge's novel "Canghai", called the North Fall Division.
"Meow-meow", unconsciously, the phoenix source empty valley foot sound, and gradually away.
Climb to the top of the phoenix platform, look around the green peaks, the grass and trees on the side of the body, the green water under the feet, while the phoenix pavilion and the phoenix pavilion in the distance are looking at each other in the creek...
Whoops, "Phoenix on the Phoenix Stage Phoenix Tour", The Phoenix goes to the Taikong Creek to flow, asking the valley where it is as beautiful as promised, only the source phoenix comes!
On that day, the autumn was high and the sky was high and cloudy. I marveled at the magic of nature and praised the style of Phoenix Source. Oh, on this, Phoenix Source remembered!
