Recommended scenic spots
1. Xiangluping
Xiangluping is the place where Qu Yuan was born. In the middle of Xianping stands a green slate inscribed with official script: "The birthplace of Chu doctor Qu Yuan and San Lv". According to legend, more than two thousand years ago, there lived a family named Boyong on this flat land. One day, Mrs. Boyong was about to give birth, and auspicious clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo. Bo Yong was very surprised and immediately put an incense burner outside the door to burn incense and worship. At this time, there was a baby's croak in the room, and a strange smell came to the nose. Because the child was born with a strange omen, Boyong liked him very much and named him Qu Yuan. Because Qu Yuan had a strange smell when he was born, this small suite is also called Xiangluping.
Step 2 face it well
On the hillside of Khufu opposite Xiangluping, there is an ancient well, which is said to have been carved by Qu Yuan. It took a long time to dig a small hole because the rock was particularly hard. But he never gave up and finally touched the mountain god. The mountain god gave him an iron pick, and he dug for another 7749 days, and finally dug the well. After the completion of the well, the four seasons will not dry up, and it will be crystal clear. Qu Yuan and his sister come to the well every day to freshen up, hence the name Face to Face Well. In the tenth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty, the villagers set up a plaque of "Face-to-face Well" under the evergreen tree beside the well, engraved with the words: "This well was left by Qu Gong, so don't waste it in the future; This green tree must not be cut down. " Wells and stone tablets still exist today.
3. Reading Cave
The reading cave is located halfway up the mountain like the deep valley of Guxi, which is said to be the place where Qu Yuan studied. The word "reading cave" originally carved in Dongkou during Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty has been peeled off for a long time, and now a new monument has been erected. Legend has it that when Qu Yuan was studying in the cave, there were stone tables, chairs and benches. It is widely rumored by villagers that if you pass by the cave at night, there will be a loud sound of reading in the cave. In fact, it's the dead of night. It's just an illusion caused by the sound of mountains and rivers in Reading Cave. On the Gu Xiang Rock to the west of Reading Cave, there is a circular stone platform. It is said that Chu Zhuangwang used to play drums here, hence the name. When Qu Yuan was in his hometown, he often boarded this platform and recited his own poems, so it was also called a poetry reading platform.
4. Three Corn Mountains
Coming down from the reading cave, I went up along Xiangguxi and came to Wangzhai Mountain. I saw a newly restored Quyuan Temple on the hillside. There are two "longan" under the temple, and the spring water is constant all the year round. There are three paddy fields near this spring, which is said to be the land of Qu Yuan's cultivation and is called "Three Mountains of Corn". This legend has a long history. In the Tang Dynasty, Shen Yazhi's Biography of Qu Yuan appeared in the text. Shen Yun: After Qu Yuan was exiled, he recited poems and plowed the fields. Whenever he thinks about the fate of Chu, he is worried and sad. "Where tears fall, white rice is like jade."
