Out of the original Pingcheng, along the Daxin Highway to the west, past Daniudian, Yangwu Village, Futu Temple, Shangyangwu, come to Yunzhong Mountain, Yangwu River, enter Yangwu Yukou, turn left from the Lijing Village Railway Bridge, is the beautiful Sunjiaping Canyon.
Sunjiaping Canyon, the mouth of the valley is Lijing Village, the canyon is about 20 miles long, and there is only one small village in the valley, which is Sunjiaping Village. Sunjiaping is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the forest covers the sky. Spring is green, summer flowers are brilliant, autumn is full of red leaves, winter is covered in silver, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the rabbits and birds are chirping. The smoke curls in the morning and evening, and the morning chicken and twilight dog can be described as a fence chrysanthemum Nanshan, a paradise. 
Sunjiaping Canyon, the east and west sides are towering mountains, in the middle of the canyon, there is a small river that has been flowing clear for a long time, but the name is called "big river", the gurgling river water all the way to the north, confluence in the Yangwu River. On the west side of the valley mouth, at the mouth of the "big river", there used to be a water mill of the Hao family in Sunjiaping Village, and a Liling water mill in Lijing Village, which had been dismantled many years ago, leaving only the memories of the old people. Walking into the canyon, about two miles away, there is a small temple, which is the "Receiving Temple" of Lijing Village. On the west side of the temple, there is a large stone called the "Divine Sword Stone" in the river beach below the "Black Cliff Cliff" (Heinainai), and there is a deep crack in it. It is said that during the Qianlong period, He Shen led the troops to Sunjiaping to "suppress bandits", and Master Guan showed his might, descended from the sky, and inserted a sword into this stone, blocking the way for the officers and soldiers to advance, and the villagers of Sunjiaping escaped a disaster of unwarranted swords. The author will write another story about this story for everyone to tell. After the receiving temple, there are several small temples along the way, such as the five masters and the mountain gods, since they are small temples, it is not surprising. Walk along the flat cement road all the way in, about ** mile road, is the famous Sunjiaping Village. Sunjiaping, it is said that the original name is "monk's house", it is the resting place of the monks of the stone Buddha temple, and then slowly formed a small village, people feel that the monk word is not good, so they take the homonym and change the name to "Sunjiaping". 
Sunjiaping is my grandmother's maiden home and the place where my mother played when she was a child, so I also have a special sense of intimacy with this place. According to her mother, when she was a child, she loved to live in her grandmother's house, when there were tigers and leopards in the mountains, and her grandfather and uncles who were enjoying the shade on the streets in the evening would say, "Go home, you see the lantern in the distance, the boss (dai) (tiger) is coming." So the people went home, closed their doors and closed their windows, and went to sleep. My mother had also heard the sound of those big things on the roof, and the tiles that were stepping on them. When my grandmother was young, she was playing in the river in front of the door, and accidentally fell, and the rushing river washed her from Sunjiaping to the shallow place of Lijing before climbing to the shore. Sunjiaping is a small village, with only about 70 households and 170 people. The big families in the village are mainly surnamed Liu, Hao, and Zhao, and my grandmother is Liu Xigong's daughter, and she is the younger sister of Liu Jisuo and Liu Jitu. My grandmother is the daughter of the Lijing samurai family, and she really responds to the saying "The daughter of Lijing marries to Sunjiaping, and she can't get out of the ditch for the rest of her life". 
Sunjiaping is surrounded by mountains and used to be a small isolated mountain village. Listening to my mother's story, in the past in the village for the Spring Festival, there was not even a person who could write Spring Festival couplets, so the villagers had to catch a few shoe-fighting insects (rat women) dipped in ink and put them on plum red paper, and then took a porcelain bowl, and the bottom of the bowl was also smeared with ink. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state carried out literacy eradication activities and established primary schools, and now there are no more illiterate people in the villages, regardless of their level of culture. In recent years, there has been a doctoral student in the village, and there are several other college students, and it is a new cultural village. With the continuous changes in society, young people have gone out to work or moved to the city, and only some elderly people are left in the village. The students are gone, the teachers are gone, the school is deserted, and only a few classrooms are left squatting alone at the entrance of the village. 
There is a bay of mountain spring at the entrance of the village "small river", bubbling out, clear to the bottom, cool and sweet, the sun rises in the early morning, the villagers carry buckets, come here in an endless stream to carry water, this is the daily living water of the people in the village, free natural mineral water. The high mountain cliff next to the "small river" is called "Tianliang Mountain", there is a "black cat stone" lying horizontally on Tianliang Mountain, looking from a distance, it looks like a giant cat waiting for an opportunity to attack, and the five grains at the bottom of the ditch are guarded from the spoils of the rats. At the foot of the mountain, next to the spring, is an ancient Guanyin temple. This small temple, although called Guanyin Temple, in addition to enshrined Guanyin Bodhisattva, but also enshrined Manjushri Bodhisattva, Guan Lao Ye and the Great Immortal Lord, which reflects the Chinese national Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism of the three religions of the history and culture, and probably the villagers in order to save money. During the Anti-Japanese War, this small temple used to be the granary of the Eighth Route Army, which was full of military rations, and the doors and windows were blocked with adobe. 
Tianliang Mountain also has a modern legend. It is said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there was a good man Zhao Guigen in the East Building of Xinzhou, and there was a good man Duan Sanmao in Daniudian in Laoxian County. Duan Sanmao ran ahead, Zhao Guigen chased behind, Duan Sanmao had no choice, and said to Zhao Guigen: "Don't chase me, tell you a secret, you can go and find it." The big cow shop went west, dawning mountain, pot to pot, holding a pot of silver. "Zhao Guigen has never been able to find this pot **, but it has attracted countless people who want to make a fortune to turn over Tianliang Mountain a few times left and right, and they have not found that pot **. I don't know if this legend is true or not, but it just left people with a beautiful dream. Behind Tianliang Mountain, it is called "Hougou", and on the top of Hougou Mountain, there is a Taishi chair steadily, called "Shishi Chair". Shi Shi chair is facing Lijing Village and Shangyangwu Village outside the canyon, so there were many great literati in these two villages in the past. It is said that when the weather is fine, a family in Lijing Village opens the water urn, and the image of the stone chair is reflected on the water surface. Later, the young man was bored and pried the mountain skin off the cliff next to the Shishi chair, and since then, the reflection of the Shishi chair has never been seen in the water urn in Lijing Village. 
The largest ravine in Sunjiaping is called "Big Stone Tiger", and there is a "Cattle and Sheep Cliff" in the ditch. Some people also say that this is a big cave, and the whole village hid here when the little devils came to sweep it. Now it has become a place for shepherds to hide from the rain and snow, and they can trap one or two hundred cattle and sheep. There is also a small cave on the top of the cliff, which can accommodate three or five people, and there is a stone mill in the cave, which should have been inhabited by people. There is also a ditch in Sunjiaping called "Yin Ditch", and there is a spring in the ditch, which is called "Ma Shau Spring". Legend is stationed in Yangwuyu "Yangjiazhai" of the Northern Song Dynasty famous general Yang Liulang led the troops to fight, came here, people are thirsty and horses are lacking, everywhere can not find a water source, at this time, the general's war horse lowered his head and sniffed with his nose, raised his hooves and gouged a few times, a cool and delicious spring water immediately gushed out, solved the thirst of the soldiers. 
Go further in, it is the "five chaotic ditch", and next to the ditch is the "cabinet cliff". There is a huge stone on the top of the mountain, which resembles a reclining cabinet in the people's home, and is called "stone cabinet". The stone cabinet is a treasure trove, and someone has seen a pair of golden doves and a pair of sika deer here. One of the sika deer was injured, and the other sika deer brought an unknown fairy grass in the ditch and applied it to the wound of the injured fawn, and the fawn's wound healed in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that people don't know what kind of grass this fairy grass is, but here are all kinds of precious Chinese herbs, until now, there is an endless stream of people who come here to dig herbs. Continuing inside, there is a mountain called "National Stone Cliff". There are two big stones in the national stone cliff, there is a small cave in the middle, legend has it that a feng shui gentleman came from the south back then, saw that there was good feng shui here, and hung a small coffin in this hole, and stole the good feng shui here. There is a mountain called "Loess Kiln" next to the "Great River", and it is said that this mountain contains a dragon vein. One day, the real dragon went down the mountain to drink water, and was discovered by Mr. Feng Shui in the south, and dug up the dragon vein, and the blood stained the big stone in the river, and the blood stains are still left on the big stone, which is called "the real dragon".
After Sunjiaping, go along the canyon for more than ten miles, is the famous "Stone Buddha Temple". Stone Buddha Temple, as the name suggests, there are several stone Buddhas carved in the temple back then, and there are monks stationed in the temple, and the incense is prosperous. When the Stone Buddha Temple was built, because no inscription records have been found, there is no way to investigate. It was only later that the monk died, the temple fell, the house collapsed, and the stone Buddha did not know where to go. In recent years, it may be that people have cut off the water veins by mining them, and the sacred spring under the steps of the Dragon King's Hall has also dried up. This god spring, the wellhead is about a foot in circumference, the depth of the well is about three or two feet, the well water is about a foot or so from the wellhead, regardless of drought and rain, the well water is so much for hundreds of years, you don't scoop it is so much, you scoop it tightly, it is still so much. It is said that when the Stone Buddha Temple was built, all the water was supplied by this fountain of the eyes. Someone accidentally dropped a small hand towel into a well while drinking water, and later found this small hand towel in Shayugou, more than 20 miles away. There are always a few hemp straws next to the wellhead, and passers-by are thirsty, so they use this hemp straw to suck water from the sacred spring to quench their thirst. When we went there to plank medicinal herbs, I also drank the divine spring water, which was cool and sweet, and the aftertaste is endless. I heard that the old monk in the temple sent the little monk down the mountain to buy rice, and the little monk carried the rice bag back on the way, seeing that he was about to arrive at the Stone Buddha Temple, but he met a colorful tiger. The tiger was lying on the mountain road**, staring intently at the little monk. The little monk wanted to run, but he knew that he would never be able to outrun the big tiger, so he had to be bold and kept chanting the Buddha's name "Amitabha...... in his mouthTrembling walked past the tiger. The tiger lay still and did not move, looked at the little monk a few times, turned his head away, neither gave way to the little monk, nor attacked the little monk. The little monk returned to the Stone Buddha Temple and saw the old monk, his legs were weak, he fell to the ground, he couldn't speak, and he didn't get up for half a day. The front of the stone Buddha temple is the Buddha hall, the west room is the dragon king hall, and the upper part is the Guanyin temple and the mountain temple. Under the steps of the Dragon King Hall is the sacred spring. On the other side of the cliff on the other side of the path opposite the Dragon King Palace, there is a monk's grave, and there is a stone tablet standing to record the name and life deeds of the monk. Next to the Stone Buddha Temple, there is "Shimen Mountain" and "Back Mountain". There is a piece of land in the ditch, which is said to be the vegetable field where the monks in the temple planted vegetables in those years. On the hillside behind the Stone Buddha Temple, there is a small cave where several hat boxes (clay pots) containing the bones of the monks are enshrined, which are still placed there. On the way to the Stone Buddha Temple, there are some large stones scattered around. One of the large stones is known as the "Shangma Stone", and it is said that when Yang Liulang rested here, he stepped on this stone to get a horse, and there is still a horseshoe print on the stone. There is also a legend about these big stones: the Stone Buddha Temple is actually an upper temple, when the Stone Buddha Temple was built, it was planned to build the lower temple in a piece of land called "Shangjia kiln" in Sunjiaping Village, and build the middle temple in Lugou. The bricks and timber have been prepared, and the craftsmen have also arrived, ready to start construction the next day. People searched everywhere and found these scattered large stones, probably because they were too heavy to carry the materials. Following this trace, all the way to the search, only to find that all the materials are piled up in the place where the Stone Buddha Temple is today, people understand that this is the Buddha wants to live here, so the Stone Buddha Temple was built in this place. Sunjiaping is also a village with a revolutionary tradition, during the Anti-Japanese War, brothers Liu Jubao and Liu Xinbao participated in the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Hao Huanhuan who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and revolutionary martyr Zhao Guicai. Later, there was Liu Wenxi, a division-level cadre of the armed police. Sun Jiaping has many literati, and there is a doctoral student Liu Baigui who is outstanding and has become a proud son among people. There are also college students and secondary school students. In addition, there was also a Nankai college student Hao Wenzhong in the village, who later worked in the Xinzhou Prefectural Committee, but unfortunately died young, leaving many regrets for the villagers. Sunjiaping Canyon, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, outstanding people, beautiful scenery, fairyland on earth, it is worth everyone to visit here and appreciate the charm of nature.
