Yaoshan scenic tourist area is 0/5km away from the county seat/kloc-0. Here, green mountains are stacked, ancient cypress cliffs are precipitous, the spring water is as clear as a mirror, strange stones are all over Shan Ye, the temples are simple and elegant, there are many inscriptions in past dynasties, the cliff stone carvings are ancient, cultural relics and historical sites are rare, and the natural landscape is peculiar. The air there is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking south, Ye Ping is vast and magnificent, and I feel relaxed and tired. It is really a "Penglai wonderland" on the loess plateau in Weibei.

Yaoshan is a famous mountain in Guanzhong, with a total length of 18km, the main peak above 1.080m, and Yaoshan is in the central and eastern part. "When Yao was a disaster, there were no mountains, only this mountain floated", so it was named "Gufushan", and it was called "Yaoshan" because of its meritorious service in controlling water on the mountain.

Yaoshan is a valley, shaped like a round-backed chair, surrounded by Platycladus orientalis on three sides, and facing Huashan Mountain in the south. There is a shrine of "Lady Ling Ying" in the palm of the chair dam, which is full of tourists all the year round, pleasant scenery, purple smoke and splendid halls. This is a fascinating land of geomantic omen.

Platycladus orientalis in Yaoshan is about 170 mu, which is said to have been planted in Tang Dynasty. According to the multi-point survey of teachers and students in Yaoshan Primary School on April 65, 438+04, 2007, the total number of Platycladus orientalis is as high as 65,438+077,600, with the thickest diameter of 48 cm. "Yaoshan Cooper

"It is one of the eight scenic spots in Pucheng. The gate of Yaoshan Mountain was originally a two-story pavilion with brick and wood structure, with a pair of lions lying on both sides, which was solemn and spectacular. There is a rectangular stone on the ground in front of the door, which is called "the world", which is what people often say, "Have you seen the world? "

There are many temples in Yaoshan, simple and elegant, with Tang and Song styles, which are very spectacular, but unfortunately they were destroyed. Stepping on eleven steps (representing eleven societies) is the "front hall", which was restored in 2002. Behind it is the Notre Dame Hall, which was rebuilt in 1993. Although it was only a simple restoration, it played a decisive role in the second restoration of Notre Dame de Yaoshan. The legendary "Yaoshan Banshee" is Wang Yao's daughter. She can call the shots, help patients, help health and relieve anxiety and danger. The legendary story about her is widely circulated among the people. One of them is Notre Dame Tang Dynasty. It is said that the King of Tang ordered Di Qing to command the Southern Expedition. On the way to a certain place, the wind was blowing hard and the clouds were gathering, so it was difficult to argue. Coupled with the exhaustion of food and grass, the troops were trapped. There is a "black river" in front of us. People are hungry and eager to drink it. But water is poisonous, and people vomit and diarrhea. Di Qing was so anxious that he had to call his men down to Yaoshan to pray for the help of the Virgin Mary. The virgin ordered him to rain in the "Fengyun Cave" on the west side of the mountain top. It really works. After a flash of lightning and thunder, the soldiers drank the rain. Di Qing plays Ming Sheng.

Thank you for the rain. After hearing this, the Tang King was overjoyed and named the Virgin Mary "Mrs. Ling Ying". Since then, there has been a folk saying that "Ling Ying should stand aside". In 640 AD, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin once "hunted in Yaoshan". Four of the five Tang tombs in Pucheng live in Yaoshan, which shows that the Lady of Yaoshan was regarded as a protector in the Tang Dynasty. Yaoshan is full of incense. In the Song Dynasty, the Virgin of Yaoshan was also sealed by the imperial court for the effect of rain and dew. On both sides of the front hall of Ursa Major, there are Yue Fei, Notre Dame, Empress Dowager and General White Horse. The upper part of the northeast temple is the "Niangniang Temple". Worshippers are mostly women, mainly seeking the safety of their children. There is a wonder in the east, "the first scene in the sky", which is formed by a mountain fracture. It is only more than 20 meters long and less than one meter wide, with a boulder in the middle, which is in danger of falling at any time, making people feel scared. On the cliff stone carvings on the northwest side of the lower part, there are stone carvings inscribed by Zhao Yuanyang and Pei Jun, the county magistrate of Fengxian County, which are called "Cliff Stone Carvings". It is the only historical witness of Yaoshan, which is very precious. On the cliff stone facing south in the north, there is a cypress tree that is particularly rare. It's hard to find out if you're not careful. It grows on the cliff, with no gaps and abundant nutrients. It looks so tiny and thin, but its life span is as high as 300 years, and its age and body shape are very uncoordinated. This is also the incredible and sighing source of this "seamless cypress". In the northwest corner of the main hall, you can see an inconspicuous spring, but don't underestimate it. People call it "the divine spring". Legend has it that tens of thousands of people drink the Qingming Temple Fair every year, but the spring water still doesn't drip, because there is a big snake with long horns guarding it. Later, people learned that the spring water came from the crevices in the mountain, winding up and down, much like a dragon, constantly spitting the liquid in its stomach. Today, due to the explosion of rocks, the spring water is cut off and dried up, which is regrettable and sad. There are "four temples" (land gods, mountain gods, ox king gods and horse king gods) and "god of wealth" in the west of the main hall, where people come to worship and pray for "prosperous wealth, strong incense and reasonable divine power" (Zhang Lihu's couplet in the fourth volume of Yaoshan Elegant Rhyme) and pray for the gods to bless people and animals to prosper, the crops to be plentiful and the families to be safe and happy.

Under the rock of the west cliff, the door facing east is "Wang Longdong", which is a place to pray for rain. It is said that there are four people begging for rain, all of whom are widows. One of them must belong to the "dragon" phase. The main task is to take water from the spring, transport it home and pour it into the waterway. You can do experiments if you don't believe me. There is a stone tablet in front of the cave, which is the oldest stone tablet in Yaoshan. This is an ultimatum from the Minister of Song Dynasty, which can explain whether Ling Ying should.

Although there is no trace of "Fairy Cliff" now, it is worth mentioning that in the ninth year of imperial unification, Pucheng County ordered Mayang to rebuild the temple for rain, and on July 5, ordered craftsmen to start construction. After more than half a month, a stone crack was cut from the northwest of the main hall. The report said, "In the crack, the grass is not wood, like a spider's web, and there is a pillow with bones lying on it, which is printed." Ma Yang's notes, Qu Qi and Qu's inscriptions are all gone today. Old Yuan Man Zhijun (deceased), a cultural relic lover, went to Yaoshan many times to look for it, but all failed. According to the load, he speculated that it was probably a "human fossil". It takes time to solve this mystery, and it will also contribute to society. Yaoshan Mountain has always relied on the protection of Shenquan and the donation of folk beliefs to build it. Yaoshan's famous "Yaoshan Eleventh Society" was founded in the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, with six societies in Shannan and five societies in Shanbei, accounting for one-third of Pucheng's administrative area. According to the custom, the temple fair is held in turn every year, during which the main purpose is to refresh the mind, and there are a lot of social fires to add fun. For three to five days, Tomb-Sweeping Day is mainly active in mountainous areas. On this day, since the early hours of the morning, there are more and more people. At noon, there were thousands of people on the mountain and under the mountain, as many as 100 thousand. In the hall of Notre Dame in the past, there were many "magic sticks" on both sides, which were dignified and strict, and blessed worshippers to burn incense and bow down in order. Today, with the cooperation of the police, it is basically safe and orderly. During the Qingming period, the activity time of each village depends on the size and actual situation of each society. Once in the eleventh year, people seize the opportunity to mobilize every household, men, women and children to participate, release the heat of folk culture, and give full play to their talents, mainly in the folk fire, which is huge and unprecedented in scale. The competition between villages shows that the more social fire you play, the higher your mood. The main types of social fires are Yaoshan Drum, Eight Immortals Board, Flower Drum, Yangko, High and Low Stilts and Angel. Notre Dame de Yaoshan has been listed in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Shaanxi Province and protected because of its long history, large scale, diverse folk culture and rare momentum.

Yaoshan Mountain is famous for its unique natural landscape, and its folk beliefs have lasted for thousands of years. It is protected by the government because of its magnificent folk culture. Yaoshan is open-minded and welcomes people of insight to invest and develop here. Come on, this hot and magical land welcomes you!
