Shuanglong Cave Scenic Area consists of three scenic spots, namely, karst cave, open air and Panda, and a scenic spot of Qiaoshan. Shuanglong Cave consists of three caves, namely: Shuanglong Cave, where ships pass through the cave and the scenery is beautiful; Hu Bing Cave, waterfalls hang down, and snow flies in the cave; Chaozhen Cave, a thousand miles to the earth, a line to Tianmen. They are also called lower hole, middle hole and upper hole in turn. These three caves have their own characteristics. The scenery of Shuanglong Cave is mostly beautiful. Hu Bing Cave takes the waterfall in the cave as a risk, while Chaozhen Cave is surprised by the first-line view of the sky. It is famous for its three characteristic ways of swimming in the cave, such as "lying on the boat, watching the waterfall and enjoying the stone", which can be called the three wonders of tourism.
Lying in the boat hole, the water is strange.
Shuanglong Cave is 520 meters above sea level and consists of an inner hole, an outer hole and an ear hole. The mouth of the cave is Xuan Lang, and the stalactites hanging on both sides are shaped like faucets, hence the name. The outer cave is spacious, with an area of1.200m2, which is like an auditorium and can accommodate thousands of people. The annual temperature is about 15.2℃, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. At this point in the hot summer, there is quite a feeling of "sweating on the mountain and cold in the cave". Whenever it is hot in midsummer, nearly a thousand people enjoy the cool outside the cave every day. The three characters "Shuanglong Cave" on the west wall of the cave were handed down from the Tang Dynasty. The word "Dong Tian" on the East Wall is Mo Bao of Wu Lin, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty. At the top of the cave, there is a line of words "Thirty-six caves", which was inscribed by Yu Youren, an outstanding calligrapher and KMT veteran in modern times. If Shuanglong Cave is "Dragon Palace", then the outer cave is "Dragon Hall". A "stone waterfall" hanging on the west wall is brown, like a flood peak, which is formed by long-term dripping of groundwater containing calcium carbonate. There are Shi Jing's Camel Looking Up, Shi Wa Peeping into the Cave, Lion Step and Golden Harrier Spreading its Wings. On the east side of the exit of the outer cave is the word "Dragon Ear", written by monk Jiang Lian, a beginner of the people. There is a huge screen stone between the inner and outer holes, which only leads to the waterway. Length 10 meters, width more than 3 meters, height less than half a meter. This pass is called "Toad's Mouth", and the ancient poem goes: "There is a spring in the cave, and you want to find the source of the spring and lie on the boat; Don't think that the hole is smaller when you get on the boat. Go against the water and go into the hole. " If you want to see the inner hole, you can only lie on your back on the boat and brush the cliff against the water. The bottom of the screen stone is only 7 ~ 10 cm. If you look up slightly, you are in danger of breaking your nose. "The water on the thousands of feet beam is low, and the canoe flows back." As long as you turn your back on it, it is full of surprises and fun. It is one of the best ways to visit and has the reputation of "water and stone wonders". The four-character cliff was carved at the entrance of the inner cave. I don't know who wrote it, so it is impossible to verify it so far. The area of the inner hole is twice that of the outer hole. Because stalactites and stalagmites have peculiar shapes and ingenious layout, and because there are siliceous rocks in limestone, different kinds of peculiar landscape stones are formed, which makes the landscape in the cave unique and varied, which is dazzling, just like being in the crystal dragon palace, and it is worthy of being called the dragon world. There are many scenic spots in the inner cave, including "Yellow Dragon Spitting Water", "Inverting Bats", "Colorful Clouds Covering the Moon", "Wonderful", "Frog Stealing Grass" and "Peach Blossom", among which "Dragon Claw", "Tortoise Exploring the Sea", "Tortoise Snake" and "Jinhua Ham" are limestone and siliceous rocks left after dissolution. There are two rocks at the top of the cave, one is like a dragon, and the other is like a yellow dragon. Longlin and African claws shine and dance around, which are very similar. Jin Luxiang, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, said, "The double dragon cover on the stone looks like an old dragon pan." The most amazing thing is that there is a stone pit on the left side of the cave, spouting a clear spring, like a dragon mouth gurgling water. If you can drink a few mouthfuls, it will be cool and sweet, and you will enjoy it immensely. According to the cloud, this was discovered when Yu Dafu swam here. There is an underground river in the cave, which originates from the upper part of Chaozhen Cave, passes through Chaozhen Cave, passes through Hubing Cave and enters Shuanglong Cave, with a relative height difference of about 300 meters. The flow of underground rivers is generally 2 1l/s, and the annual total water volume is 650,000 cubic meters. The water is clear and high quality, and the water temperature is about 16.2℃.
Hanging alone in the wind and fog
Hu Bing Cave, with its mouth facing the sky, is a cave with a big belly and deep collapse. The vertical distance from the mouth of the cave to the bottom of the cave is about 80 meters, hence the name "like entering a pot". There is a waterfall in the cave, which is inexhaustible all year round, with a drop of 15 meters. Water gushed from the back edge of the stalactite hanging upside down at the top of the cave, like a dragon rushing forward, and the waterfall was deafening. The waterfall falls on the ground, splashing water, which is exciting, forming a drizzle and chilling, forming a "wind and fog spectacle" of "a waterfall hanging down and snow flying in a cave". According to records, this cave was discovered in 300 AD (Jin Dynasty). In the Song Dynasty, Lu Zhai wrote, "Go down the dangerous ladder and watch the waterfall." Fang Feng's "Three Holes in Beishan" said: "Bundle a few torches and enter the order first." In AD 1636, Xu Xiake recorded his adventure in detail: "The mouth of the cave is as high as a kiss. Throw the staff down first, and you won't see the end. It was climbing up the gap, reaching down its throat and suddenly smelling the sound of water. The more you follow the torch, the more waterfalls fall from the air in the center of the cave, and the ice flakes shine from the darkness. " Hu Bingdong wonders, ancient and modern tourists are all amazed. Huang Cheng, a writer of Yuan Zaju, wrote: "Sitting in the fountain of love makes a faint sound, and jade flowers blow wet flat clothes. Who wants to dream of curly hair and lie down and watch the sky fly? " It expresses the feeling of tourists entering the fairyland. Guo Moruo swam to Hu Bingdong and improvised a poem: "The Milky Way is curling. Is the Tao a Dragon Palace letter or a lie?" When the pearls are in perfect harmony, the stars will vanish in one day. In an instant, the new moon is full and there are thunder bursts; The overwhelming Ssangyong is different, and Sakazaki is lonely in this landscape. " Recently, the relevant departments have detected that the tunnel entering from the waterfall mouth is 120 meters, and there are many stalactites in the hall and cave hall, and there are waterfalls with a drop of about 8 meters in the cave.
At present, Shuanglong Cave and Hubing Cave have been opened, and a large number of ancient vertebrate fossils have been found in the sediments, including 24 species of Sumen antelope, giant salamander, elephant, giant panda and rhinoceros, which are similar to the Yanjinggou fauna in Sichuan, from the Middle Pleistocene about 700,000 years ago to the early Late Pleistocene about 654.38 million years ago. At the same time, two jade treasures were unearthed in Shamo, which were the products of Liangzhu culture in Neolithic Age from 5200 to 4300 years ago. Emerald Emerald is a precious ornament worn by tribal leaders. "Yi copula" says: "In ancient times, people lived in caves and lived in the wild". "Book of Rites" said: "The late king had no palace, lived in a cave in winter and lived in a nest in summer." Accordingly, jadeite jade is a relic of ancient tribes living in caves.
The fairy went to the crane and never came back.
From Shuanglong Cave or Hubing Cave, walk 1 km to NATO to Chaozhen Cave. Legend has it that this cave is the place where Shi Zhen, an ancient Taoist, lived as an alchemist. The poems written by scholars in previous dynasties for this cave include: "The fairy by the bridge has gone, but the crane still lives", "The dark red pine in the clouds still lives in the crane", "The crane tree in Xitou is evergreen" and "Two cranes go to heaven". Now the fairy went to the crane and never came back, but there were crowds of thrushes, tits, love birds and so on, singing and dancing. The mouth of the cave faces west, and the mouth of the cave is clear, with deep valleys in front and breeze behind. The entrance is 645 meters above sea level, the main tunnel is 140 meters long, and the branch tunnel is 55 meters long, covering an area of 2,540 square meters. In front of the cave, overlooking the Lotus Hall and Lutian Peak, it is like a hundred monks are true. The "36-hole Jin Huashan" in Du Guangting Cave in the Tang Dynasty refers to the Shuanglong Cave Scenic Area, and now the inscription "36-hole" is engraved on the stone wall of Chaozhen Cave. Stalactites hang high in the cave, and stalagmites are everywhere. The tunnel is tortuous and deep. There is a hole on the left side of the entrance, which covers an area of about 300 square meters and is called "Flower Hall". The hall is composed of flint nodules in Permian Qixia limestone, which protrude from the cave wall and roof, one after another, like flowers, so it has the reputation of "stone flower". In the depth of the main cave, there is a clear water pool with an area of about 40 ~ 50 square meters. There is a skylight above the pool, and a beam of sunlight penetrates, just like half moon, also known as "a ray of blue sky", so it is called "a thousand miles through the ground, a ray through the Tianmen". Xu Xiake gave a vivid and appropriate description of the wonders of the three caves in Beishan. He said: "Chao Zhen is amazing; Crimping is different from bead curtain; On the other hand, there are two doors outside Shuanglong, which are heavy in the middle, strange in land and water, and different in seclusion! "
It is said that Wong Tai Sin, who was fortunate enough to find immortal traces for overseas Chinese, was a native of Beishan, Jinhua. Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Records of Yuanhe Counties and Counties in the Tang Dynasty, Records of Taiping Universe, Records of Red Pine Mountain, Records of Jinhua Prefecture in Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, etc. all recorded the historical materials of Huang Daxian. Wong Tai Sin, or Huang Chuping, was born on August 13th in the third year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (328), and his brother was named after him. According to legend, Huang Chuping was brilliant and gifted at an early age, with a strange face. /kloc-herding sheep in the mountains at the age of 0/5. On the way, I met the Taoist priest of red pine nuts who became immortal in Shennong, and took him to a cave in Jin Huashan to give lectures and practice. Wong Tai-hsien devotes himself to monasticism and intensive reading of Confucian classics. "Accumulate merits in the world, forty feet" has become superb, and he can turn stones into sheep. Brother has been looking for ChuPing for forty years, but there is still no news. After looking for Jin Huashan, the two brothers met and asked, "Where were the sheep?" Chuping pointed to countless white stones on Yangshan Mountain and said, "Where are the sheep?" At first, he smiled and said, "I saw the white stone, but I didn't see the sheep." Chuping pointed with his hand and shouted, "Get up, sheep!" In a blink of an eye, the white stones all over the mountain turned into sheep, walking or lying down, playing with each other, or drinking water in the mountains, in various ways, really cute. When my brother saw that he was immortal, he worshipped him as a teacher, went into the mountains to practice, and then became a monk. Later generations called the two brothers "two emperors", that is, the two immortals, and chose to build the Korean pine palace in the place where the two immortals ascended to heaven, which was once the crown of Taoist temples in the south of the Yangtze River. In the sixteenth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1 189), Feng Dajun was a real person (from the beginning) and a real person (Chuping). In the third year of Ding Jing (1262), the gentleman was named a pure and sincere real person, and the gentleman was a pure and honest real person. 1990 Hong Kong "Wong Tai Sin Sike Garden" group made a special trip to Jinhua to recognize the Sect. When Jinhua Taoist Temple was rebuilt, a stone bud was dug up, which Hong Kong people called "Dragon Bamboo Shoots". Stone buds are several meters high, staggered and overlapped, and the surface layer is white. From a distance, they look like giant white lotus flowers. From a close distance, they look like a flock of white sheep. Jinhua Taoist Temple is located in these stone buds. Now you can see four sheep in the main hall, some upright, some ruminating on the ground, some head sheep and some lambs. This view should just read what Wong Tai Sin said: "Stone becomes sheep".
Literati draw a long river
For thousands of years, literati and poets of all ages have been admiring it, and the list is endless. In ancient times, there were Shen Yue in the Southern Dynasties, Jie Yuan, Chen Ziang, Meng Haoran and Liu Changqing in the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Anshi, Su Dongpo and Wu Lin in the Song Dynasty. They either wrote travel notes or left inscriptions. From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Qing Dynasty alone, there were more than 200 songs. Lu You, a patriotic poet, left an inscription in Beishan Wise Temple. Traveler and geographer Xu Xiake wrote about the Three Caves in Beishan. Modern famous writers such as Yu Dafu, Guo Moruo and Ye Shengtao have visited Shuanglong Scenic Area successively. The existing quiet and elegant Lutian Academy, founded in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty, was once a place where sages gave lectures and studied, and enshrined the "seven sages" of Jinhua from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Celebrities such as Xie Ao, Fang Feng and Song Lian all came here to study, give lectures and have fun, leaving many excellent poems.
