I copied the text and took photos myself. Click to enlarge and watch.

According to relevant data, in 1747 (the 12th year of Qing Qianlong), Zhang Yue, the magistrate of Xinyang, was impressed by the beautiful scenery of Xinyang, and wrote eight poems: Pine Wind in Xianling, Moon on the Stone River, Sunrise at the Divine Tower, Sunset at Kuilou, Waterfall at Longtan and Thundermarsh. Since then, the scenery described in these eight poems has become the "Eight Scenes of Xinyang" that Xinyang people have been talking about for more than 200 years, and it has been a treasure.

Fairy pine wind

Xianshan is located in Xianshan Village, Hudong Office, Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province, which is 10 km away from the urban area. At an altitude of 600 meters, the forest coverage area is over 90%. Xianshan is a hermit, and the sage refers to Pan. Zhou Pan's word "Bo Jian" made him an adult in the later Han Dynasty. When he paid tribute to the emperor, he moved to Yang Xia and made a coincidence order. Zhou Pan missed his mother and didn't want to be an official, so he resigned and returned to his hometown, where he lived in seclusion, hence the name Xianyin Mountain. Fairy breeze is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xinyang. The predecessor "Fairy Spirit and Pine Wind" praised: "In the past, the sages were high and quiet, and the spirit pool was quiet. Smoke dissipates quickly and the wind turns green. Brahma has many Buddhist temples and loves Lin Qiu. Suspected to be Penglai, Shennan is a winning tour. " The whole Xianling Mountain is covered with pine trees, commonly known as flat-topped pine. The trunk of this tree is not straight, but tortuous. The breeze is blowing, and the sound of waves is everywhere, which is pleasing to the eye. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Yin, a Taoist priest of Southern Confucianism and Guangdao, wrote the word "immortal spirit" at the foot of Xianshan Mountain, and carved a stone to erect a monument. There are Xianyin Temple, Xianyin Cave, Luxi Spring, Biru Spring, Xianren Bed, Zhangrenshi and other places of interest on Xianshan. ?

Fan Yue shihe

Shihe River was called Zishui in ancient times. In ancient times, a hermit named Hu Chao lived by this stream. He is so prestigious that everyone praises him as a teacher. He called the river Xi Shi, which was renamed Zhen Xi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Zhen Shui in the second year of Qi Jianwu, and Hezhen later. Shihe River originates from Jiucaipo at the junction of Tanjiahe Township in Shihe District and Yingshan Mountain in Hubei Province, and is the main tributary of Huaihe River. The total length of Shihe River is 14 1.5 km, with a drainage area of 2,070 square kilometers. The main tributaries are Shafei River, Wudao River, Dongshuang River and Duhe River. "Swallowing the Moon by the Shihe River" is one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Xinyang. The poem "Swallowing the Moon by the Shihe River" written by Zhang Yue, an ancient scholar, said: "Double oars shake the boat, and the toad light scatters the dusk smoke. The pearl is full of Tianshan Mountains, and the mirror is round Shui Xin. Gui Xi flew to the trophy, and Lan Yan won the orchestra. It is good to reflect and be endowed, and it is clear at the same time. " ?

Shenta Zhao Hui

Why did you leave an isolated tower? You don't remember the floor.

Lush and harmonious, the morning light condenses.

Yushu can lean on the wind, and the golden stem can bear it.

This state is full of colored pens, and it is very interesting to watch flying around.

This is a poem about Zhao Hui, one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. The stupa was originally located at Hongji Middle Road in Wu Miao Street (now near the intersection of Shengli Road and Jiefang Road). Because of the word "Sui" on the tower brick, it is said that it was built in the Sui Dynasty. Japanese imperialism invaded China and bombed the tower three times, which made the upper part of the tower slightly tilted, but it still stood. Unfortunately, during the Cultural Revolution, the stupa was regarded as the "four old" and was completely "broken". In particular, the tablet of "Ancient God and Bo Guo" was written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the age, the two big characters at the bottom of the inscription have also been eroded by wind and rain and can only be recognized. Nevertheless, the original remains, which is a particularly important cultural relic in Xinyang, have not been spared. This is really something that Xinyang people will always hate. ?

Night view of Kuilou

Judging from the available information, Kuilou should be built on the old city wall of Xinyang, and the specific location may be along the river avenue in Shihe Park today. Now the only remaining old city wall in Xinyang is located on Yanhe Avenue next to Xiguan Bridge. Judging from the stones used in the city wall, it was built in the Ming Dynasty.

Longtan waterfall

Longtan Waterfall is located in Shihegang Township, Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province. It is 25 kilometers away from Xinyang City. It can be reached along Xinying Highway. As early as the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, it was listed as one of the "Eight Ancient Scenes of Xinyang" and was known as the "First Spring in South Henan". There is a small reservoir upstream of the waterfall, and there are two small reservoirs downstream of the waterfall. In the deep canyon of Bailongtan Waterfall, there are huge stones protruding in the middle of the waterfall cliff, and the waterfall hits it, flying like pearls and falling into the pool like an umbrella all day. If after the heavy rain, mountain torrents pour down, the water of all rivers meets Longtan, and the turbid waves roll in front of the waterfall cliff, and the scenery is spectacular. Scholars of all ages came here to compose poems, leaving many well-known poems. The most famous poem of the descendants of He Jingming, a great writer in the Ming Dynasty, is Longtan Waterfall written by He Guangxu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty: "The waterfall peak is easy to lean against the fence, and the Bailongtan is difficult. In a Chinese odyssey, the wave leaks dry Kun's growth view. "

Razer spray cloud

Lei Zhen is located in the southern suburb of Xinyang City, on the south bank of Shihe River, 6 kilometers away from the city center, with an area of 19.4 square kilometers. Approved as a provincial forest park in 2004, it is currently under development and construction. Lei Zhen has complex and diverse topography, peculiar natural landscape, many historical sites and cultural landscapes, surrounded by three rivers, beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. It is a good place for leisure vacation and mountaineering sightseeing. There are two stone marshes on the top of Leigong Mountain, and their water is clear, neither increasing nor decreasing. Every day, cloudy days and clouds appear from the swamp, and there will be clouds when it rains. Because of this strange scene, it is said that when people throw stones, they will keep silent, just like Lei Zhen. Therefore, it is called "thundermarsh spewing clouds" and is one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. In A.D. 1747 (the twelfth year of Qianlong), Xinyang people famously wrote "Thunder Pool Blows Clouds", and the poem says, "Hongjun knows everything, and the thunder pool is at the top of the mountain." The mist floated at first, and thick clouds covered the sky. The silk of seal script is stacked and spit, and the cluster is suspended. Scattered to worship the rain, all the mountains are tea gardens. "

Clear snow in Kameyama

Guishan is located in the five-star office of Shihe District, Xinyang City, Henan Province, 5 kilometers away from the urban area. It is one of the four famous mountains in Xinyang, with an altitude of 162.2 meters. It is named Guishan because it looks like a turtle. Guishan is located at the intersection of Shihe River and Hejie River, and the two rivers flow under the mountain. When the weather clears up after the winter snow, standing on a high place or overlooking the river, Guishan looks like a giant turtle with jade piles and armor on its back, holding its head high and looking west by the river. The clear snow on Guishan Mountain is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Xinyang. Ji Guo Yong Zanyun, a poet in Qing Dynasty, said, "Looking at the ice flowers in the sun, Guishan is in a strange state. The makeup is floating, and the jade is cold. The smoke is light and far away, and the crystal is bright and close to Guo Fen. The eastern suburbs are far away, spacious and intoxicating. " Zhang Yue, the magistrate of Xinyang, praised this Jing Yun: "Jade scraps were at the beginning of the dynasty, and Guishan is near. Slightly green and shallow, accumulating elements into the empty forest. Qi moves with Chu Yang, but dust doesn't invade at all. Only snowflakes and stones can be used to make Qi Yi Tian Xin.

Changtai Gudu

Changtai Gudu, one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang, is located on the north bank of Huaihe River in Taiguan Township, Pingqiao District. The exact location of Changtai Gudu Port is more than ten meters outside the entrance of Xiaonanmen. The ancient city wall of Changtai was completely demolished on 1958. Historically, the Huaihe River has been narrow and deep, and the river has been turbulent for many years. Due to years of flooding, the riverbed of Taotao River has widened year by year. After liberation, the Party and the government allocated huge sums of money every year to build a river dam to ensure the safety of life and property of more than 2,000 residents in Changtai ancient town and town. Now the old ferry is gone. Changtai Gudu, called "Changtai Ferry" in ancient times, is an important Huaihe Ferry in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and a distribution center for salt, grain and other materials. Therefore, the smoke on both sides of the strait is curled up, and the lakes and mountains are covered with cypresses, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xinyang. Zhang Yue, a poet who knew Xinyang in the Qing Dynasty, praised: "When you are in the Huai River, you will have a wild crossing, and Tongbai will have a long origin; If you are not in a hurry to rise, the waves will be navigable; Smoke and light penetrate the shore, and clouds and shadows are pan-hearted; Si Mujin often asks questions, but he never forgets his thoughts.
