Where to find the source of the Zhanghe River
The ancient stele is deep in the wilderness and clouds
A stream of waterfalls is as green as a lily
There is a path to Lingchen in the countryside
Bring together envy to ascend to the event
Who knows the heart of Lao Tzu at that time
This is a poem written by Wu Jue, a cabinet scholar during the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, "ZhangshuiYuan". Wu Ju is also called Wu Gelao, and it is said that the four big characters of the source of the Zhanghe River West Source and the source of the Zhangshui River are mentioned by Wu Gelao.
The source of the Zhanghe River is actually one of the three sources of the Zhanghe River, also known as the source of the Haihe River, located in Zhanghe Village, Zhangyuan Town, Qin County. From Changzhi City, drive on the highway to Xiangyuan Xiadian Exit, pass through The Pavilion and Xindian into Qin County, all the way to about ten minutes to Zhangyuan Town, three miles northwest, you can see the gate of Zhanghe Village in Zhangyuan Town.
Zhanghe Village also has a Zhanghe Grand Temple, also known as Zhangxian Temple, Mr. Tongxuan Temple. According to Qinzhou Zhizai, this place is one of the eight immortals Zhang Guo Laoqi hermitage, it is said that one day Zhang Guo Lao Xing suddenly found an immortal grass between Fenqin, so Zhang Guo Lao donkey took the spring water from the source of the Zhanghe River, held a cup of brewed grass, boiled water from the cup, and immediately saw a white mist rising in the air, and slowly appeared a white crane, this white crane nodded to Zhang Guolao three times, and Zhang Guolao rode the donkey to ascend to the immortal. Since then, Zhanghe Village has become a treasure land for health care and a village of longevity, and now there are no less than a dozen eighty-year-old people in the village. In order to commemorate the land of Zhang Guo's old ascension to the Immortals, later generations built the Zhang Xian Weng Pavilion on top of the water source, and the temple looked like it.
The temple dates back about 1500 years, was built in the Tang Dynasty, five generations, and has undergone dozens of reconstructions and reconstructions in the Song Dynasty, Yuan to Ming and Qing dynasties, and the Republic of China. The current temple was rebuilt by the Zhangyuan Town Government in 2008, divided into two parts: the main hall is in the Yuan Dynasty style, the hall has the statue of Mr. Tongxuan, five steles in front of the corridor, the earliest is the Great Yuan Dynasty, the temple built a pool, a dragon head water pavilion, a three-hole bridge under the ground, a skeletonized stone carving fence, a fish pond water swamp, such as entering the fairyland; the partial hall is the three holy halls, dedicated to Confucius, Guanyin and martial saints. I heard that there was a prayer, which attracted tens of thousands of people in the three counties of Qinzhou to pay homage. From time to time, the customs of the first half of the second and eighth months of the lunar calendar, royal edicts, state and county worship, people sacrifices, and barter are formed.
