White elephant is a famous mountain. Tell me about it.

Qinling Mountain, located in Qinling Village, Heling Town, Gao 'an City, is a veritable famous mountain in Gao 'an. Of course, the fame of Qinling lies not in its altitude, but in its legendary story.

1987 edition of Gao' an county annals collects 24 famous Gao' an mountains, of which 3 are called mountains and 20 are called mountains, based on the altitude of 100 meters and below 500 meters. Among these 20 "ridges", the highest is Liuquanling in Wuqiao Town (456 meters above sea level), and the lowest is Paoling in Xiangcheng Town (altitude 10 1 m). In contrast, the elevation of Qinling Mountains is152m, which is much lower than that of Liuquanling, but 5 1 m higher than that of Paoling. However, the "Toponymic Records" recorded Paoling, but did not include Qinling. The reasons for it were not known

Qinling Mountain, though not among the 24 famous mountains in Gao 'an, has not been forgotten by the geographical names of Gao 'an County. And interestingly, in the gazetteer of Gao 'an County, the Qinling Mountains are still one ridge and two places. Both Huangshagang and He Ling put the Qinling Mountains in their own names, and each has an introduction similar to the Qinling Mountains. For example, the introduction of Huangshagang Town is: "Qinling Mountain is located at 1.5 km east of Huangshaxu. The elevation of the main peak is 1 52m, and the area is1km2. Limestone Mountain is one of the main producing areas of lime in our county. The sound of playing stones on the mountain is like the sound of guqin, which is famous in Qinling. "

He Lingzhen's introduction is: "Qinling Mountain is located 6 kilometers southwest of Santanggang. The elevation of the main peak is 1 52m, and the area is1km2, all of which are limestone. The lime produced is exported to Nanchang, Fengxin and other places. Legend has it that this place used to be an ancient lake. Emperor Qing Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River and was surprised to see a lion sitting on the ridge. He cursed, "dead thing, lime burner!" " Sure enough, the lion turned into a stone mountain. This mountain was named' Hangling' because the road of Emperor Qianlong passed here. Later, people beat stones with hammers on this mountain, making a sound similar to playing the piano, so it was also called' Qinling'. "

The two places have taken Qinling in their own names, perhaps because they value the limestone resources of Qinling. That's true. In fact, there are lime plants in both places. But judging from the historical evolution, Qinling is indeed shared by both places. Of course, judging from the location of Qinling Mountain, Qinling Mountain is owned by Heling Town at present, and Huangshagang Town has no shares. Because Qinling is not only located in Heling town, but also has an exclusive Qinling village Committee in Heling town. Huangshagang site only reaches the foot of the mountain west of Qinling Mountain. There is no other place in China called Qinling Mountains.

However, judging from the historical evolution, Huangshagang Town owned the Qinling Mountains earlier. Because Huangshagang Town occupied the Qinling Mountains before and after liberation. Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, Qinling was under the jurisdiction of the fifth capital of Huangshagang. And Heling Town is a Xinxiang Town established in 1979 with the land allocated by Lanfang, Huangsha and Ducheng towns. Qinling Mountain was drawn from Huangshagang Township on 1979.

So before 1979, Qinling belonged to Huangshagang town, and the lime factory at the foot of Qinling was also the earliest and most famous in Huangsha commune. It is said that the lime here was famous in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (7 13-742). Of course, before liberation, it was only small-scale production of individual families, and the real scale production was in 195 1. At that time, it was a lime factory run by Tietuan Village in Huangsha Township, and 1954 was officially changed to Huangshagang Township. After the reform and opening up, towns, collectives and individuals set up lime factories at the foot of Qinling Mountains. By 1985, there were more than 60 lime kilns around Qinling Mountains. Needless to say, the lime factory in Heling Town only exists after 1979.

As for the Qinling Mountains, the ten-year edition of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (187 1) also recorded: "Qinling Mountains, which governs the south for twenty miles, has a fairy well on it, and the drought will not dry up. It is said that the two immortals who set the king hid the piano here. For Zhu Hulongzu. " "Governing the South" here refers to the south of Gao 'an County. The so-called "governance" means "government". Because Gao 'an City is the seat of the county government, it is called Governing Land. As for "Wang Ding Erxian", it refers to two Taoist immortals in ancient Gao 'an.

In ancient Gao 'an, especially in the Jin Dynasty, Taoism prevailed and immortals came forth in large numbers. Immortal is the name of a very accomplished Taoist in ancient Taoist practice. Just as people who are quite advanced in a certain technology are called "masters" now, people who are superb in Taoism were called "great gods", "great immortals" or "immortals" in ancient times. "Ding" is Ding Kui, the son of Taoist Ding Yi. Ding Kuiben is a magistrate of Hubei Public Security County. Because I like living in seclusion and playing the piano, I simply quit my job and went home to learn from my father.

Maybe his father died, and Ding Kui turned to his father's student Ren Huang for help. Lan is a famous fairy in Xiangfu Museum in Nanchang, and the son-in-law of Xu Zhenjun (), a fairy in Wanshou Palace in Xishan, Nanchang. Xu was teaching "Jiu Zhuan Dan Shu", and Lan gave it to Ding Kui. After finishing his studies, Ding Kui came to practice Tai Chi in Qinling Mountains on the other side of Xiangfuguan. Instead of playing the piano for fun, I hid my beloved piano in a cave. Practice carefully during the day and light an alchemist at night. Because there is a bright fire in front of the rock, it can be seen for miles. So some curious people secretly approached to watch, and it turned out that Ding Kui was making an alchemy with white stone (limestone).

Ding Kui's companion is Wang from afar. Wang, whose real name is human. It is said that he was reincarnated as a prince. One day, he swam to the mountain and met an immortal prince. He was regarded as a fairy. So I traveled around, looking for famous mountains and making friends with celebrities. When he rode a white elephant to Heling, Gao 'an, he found Ding Kui who was making an alchemy, so he pressed Yuntou and settled in Qinling Mountains, and became a partner with Ding Kuijie to practice alchemy together. Erxian also helped Xu Xianwei catch the dragon and hit it with marbles.

I don't know when, the two immortals are far away. Up and down the Lotus Mountain and around the Qinling Mountains, some remains of two immortals were left for future generations to interpret the legend. For example, people named a pool and a stone in front of Taiji Temple as "Medicine Washing Pool" and "Grinding Stone" of Wang Ding Erxian. Because Ding Kui-dong hides the mountain of Qin just like a huge Qin across the field, it is named "Qinshan" or "Qin Mausoleum". There is a pictographic stone on the Lotus Ridge, named "Elephant to Stone", which is the white elephant where the king sits; The great lake in front of Zhuhu Village was named "Zhuhu Lake" because it was hit by the marbles of Wang Ding Erxian. A mountain near the Qinling Mountains was named "Wang Zhuling" because Wang Ding Erxian saw the marble carvings on this mountain, and so on.

In this way, Qinling Mountain should be chosen as a famous Taoist mountain in Gao 'an, just like Hualin Mountain. Although it is not as great as the nearby Heling Mountain, it has the flavor and signs of immortals. However, it has no place in the famous mountains of Gao 'an. Even if its name can be found in Gao 'an topography, its name is neither its height nor its culture, but its lime name.

According to the local old man, the hat on his head will fall off before looking up at the Qinling Mountains. Now, on the contrary, people can't look up at the top, but look down at the bottom. Because the Qinling Mountain, which was once more than 0/00 meters high on the ground, has become a pit as deep as tens of meters. About 20 1 1 year, with the support of the central government, the Qinling deep pit was transformed into Xiaoer Reservoir. Strangely, however, this reservoir originally dug in the Qinling Mountains was not named "Qinling Reservoir", but was named "Tietuan Reservoir" after a village opposite.

Why did a famous historical mountain leave no name after people hollowed it out and turned it into a pond? The author thought about it, guessing that it might be to remind people that the Qinling Mountains were hollowed out by iron balls? Because the earliest lime factory in Huangsha Port is Tietuan Village at the foot of Qinling Mountains. The name "Tietuan" village is also named because people used a lot of steel when digging stones and burning lime in Qinling Mountains, so blacksmiths gathered here to open the furnace and strike the iron.

This can't help sighing, the mountain is gone, the mountain name is gone, and the legends attached to it, such as Emperor Qianlong, King Ding Erxian, Taiji Temple, Medicine Washing Pool, Sharpening Stone, and Tibetan Qin Cave, will also disappear.
