A magnificent picture of nature——Langshan Octagonal VillageII. II. II
Octagonal Village integrates "the majesty of Mount Tai, the steepness of Mount Hua, and the beauty of Emei", which is the sixty-sixth blessed land of China, attracting many tourists with its magnificent natural scenery and unique cultural charmStrange peaks and rocks, cliffs, etc., all of which are breathtaking, are perfectly captured by the keen eyes and cameras of touristsIt is praised by relevant experts as "the soul of Danxia and a national treasure", and is one of the "seven most beautiful Danxia in China", and the filming location of the beautiful TV series "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" in the fairyland Kunlun Ruins.
The peak is covered with native shrubs, the cliff wall is red, and the valley bottom is lush with green bamboo. The blue sky, white clouds, green trees, and red cliffs reflect each other, forming a magnificent natural picture scroll and the best art gallery in the world.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the famous poet Ai Qing lived in Xinning for a short time, and after visiting Langshan and Fuyi River in his spare time, he wrote the poem "Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, and Langshan Mountain and Stone Race Guilin". Mr. Ai Qing came to Xinning from Guilin. He first admired the mountains and rivers of Guilin, and then watched the beautiful scenery of Langshan Mountain.
Climb from Huangbei Village to Octagonal Village, pass through a red two-eaves octagonal antique pavilion, formerly known as Fushou Pavilion, which is a resting place for pilgrims who burn incense in the mountain, and for many years, this mission has never changed. It was not until December 1930 that after the 19th and 20th Divisions of the Red Seventh Army failed in attacking Wugang, the Red Seventh Company retreated to Xinning and stationed in Bajiaozhai, after which all this took on a new look. Unlike the Kuomintang army's style of plucking feathers, the Red Army propagated the revolutionary program of the Red Army wherever it went, mobilized the masses of the people to struggle against the reactionary forces, committed no crimes, and helped the local masses to do rough, heavy, and tiring work.
The actions of the Red Army deeply moved the local masses. In order to commemorate the exploits of the Red Army, the locals call Fushou Pavilion the Red Army Pavilion. Nowadays, a stele is erected on the left and right sides in front of the pavilion, the stele on the left is written with three eye-catching characters of "Red Army Pavilion", and the stele on the right briefly records the deeds of the Red Army.
Walk through the Red Army Pavilion and arrive at Qingfeng Lane. It is a natural and secluded alley about 70 meters long and 2 meters wide. The two stone walls are 40 to 45 meters high, and the bare stone mountains are sandwiched. The stone walls are sparse, standing tall and cloudy, dark in tone, strange rocks, and no other plants grow except for the moss scattered on the bare mud and sand. Looking up at the towering boulders, not only do you feel the insignificance of people, but even the surrounding peaks appear very low. Downward, the mountains are stacked with greenery, lush and shady, clear and dripping, and the smoke and mist form a completely different dividing line.
Walking on the stone wall along the plank road that turns along the peak loop, as far as the eye can see, the Danxia stone peaks stand in a forest, there is a towering and peerless top, there is a steep narrow valley without the bottom, which makes people feel, there is no distraction to enjoy the good scenery, but they are in the mortal world and strayed into the South Heavenly Gate.
Countless stone walls, stone pillars, rock castle-like characteristics of Danxia Peak, after tens of millions of years of weathering, the surface seems to be embellished by mountain flowers, but the natural geological corridor of Danxia landform is constructed, and countless "U" or "V" shaped valleys are formed between Danxia peak forests. I don't know what kind of secret realm it is in each valley, but it must be a strange scenery that has not yet been developed, but so far no one has ventured into a ** world. This is because the common stone lanes, stone beams, stone troughs, caves, Tiansheng bridges, peak caves, etc. in the Danxia microscopic landform make people dizzy.
Walk out of the plank road and go to the Mid-Levels Pavilion. Standing in front of the half-mountain pavilion and looking up, I saw that the temple on the top of the mountain was like the Qionglou Immortal Pavilion, close at hand. Looking back at the majestic peaks of the mountains, the clouds are ethereal, the trees are dense, the houses are deeply hidden, the place you occupy, you can pick the stars with your hands, and you have the courage of "seeing the mountains at a glance". Go up again, the mountain road hovering between the cliffs can be described as "the ladder stone stacks are hooked together", every step is a sonorous dance step with a strong sense of rhythm, walk through the steps of "one hundred steps and nine folds lingering rocks", you have the confidence to straighten your waist pole, and take a long breath of relief to go straight to the ancient village gate.
The ancient village gate that has gone through the vicissitudes of life and the southwest wall of 50 meters long, 5 meters high and 8 meters thick are still there, because the viewing platform has been built, the ancient village that was originally very steep has been seen in the gentleness. This was once the place where the two armies confronted each other, and with its high risk, it had the trend of "one man should be closed and ten thousand people could not be opened".
An ancient walled gate, made of stone slabs, through the ancient wall, you can still feel its former glory. The sky of history, crossing a trace, tells a story of years on this mountain full of legends. Everything in front of me seems to echo the swords and swords in the village, as if this place was once inlaid with a plaque of great significance. As for the whereabouts of the plaque, it has become an eternal mystery.
The world has changed over time, and now the world is peaceful, bright and clear, the clouds are scattered and the expedition is scattered, and the rain washes the pride. The bones left by the swords and guns in the past do not know where, only the wordless Zhaimen smiles to welcome tourists from all over the world.
