Tour guide composition 400---5000

Hello fellow tourists! Welcome everyone to visit Shanjuan Cave.

Now we have arrived in front of the gate tower of Shanjuan Cave. The tall, majestic gatehouse looks simple, luxurious and elegant against the backdrop of green trees and bamboos. The three characters "Shan Juan Cave" inscribed by the famous calligrapher Fei Xinwo are eye-catching, attracting countless Chinese and foreign tourists. Let us enter the gatehouse and wander around this "eternal miracle".

The huge and strange Taihu stone in front is engraved with four official script characters "Eternal Miracle", which was written by Mr. Qian Songyan, a famous calligrapher and painter from Yixing. Where is Shanjuan Cave? The first is that the cave was formed more than one million years ago; the second is the small-leaf grevillea known as the living fossil of primitive society; the third is the name of the cave. Let's talk as we walk.

Shanjuan Cave got its name from the period of Yao and Shun more than 4,000 years ago. The ancient book "Zhuangzi" records: "Shun gave the world to Shanjuan. Shanjuan said: I am free between heaven and earth and am content. Why do I care about the world?" So he traveled thousands of miles to live in seclusion in a cave in a barren mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. Later generations called this cave Shanjuan Cave. The total cave area of ​​Shanjuan Cave is about 5,000 square meters, and the length of the cave is 800 meters. It has three floors, which are connected layer by layer. It is divided into four caves: upper, middle, lower and water. The caves are connected like a stone building. In particular, "There is a river in the cave, and the river can be used for boats; the boats travel in the water, and the oars are propped up to the sky." It is a masterpiece. It has always been known as the three most amazing caves in the world together with the "Han Cave" in Belgium and the "Lyon Cave" in France.

Now, everyone has come to the entrance of the cave. A huge stone more than seven meters high blocks the way. Don’t underestimate this stone. It is already more than 30,000 years old, and every fifty One centimeter older, growing taller bit by bit. Because the water dripping from the rock formations on the cave roof is rich in calcium carbonate, under a certain temperature and pressure, the calcium carbonate gradually solidifies, and the "drip of water penetrates the stone" here becomes "drip of feldspar". Unfortunately, a landslide occurred at the entrance of the cave in 1957. After the reinforcement, water no longer dripped from the roof of the cave, and the boulders stopped growing. It is like a mainstay in the rapids of the Yellow River, so it is called "Mainzhu Peak". It was also called "Little Sumeru Mountain" in ancient times. Okay, let's go around the boulder and go into the cave to explore.

Now we have arrived at the middle cave. This hall is called "Lion and Elephant Field". Since it is called the Lion and Elephant Field, there should be lions and elephants. Let's look at the lion first. It was probably very tired from standing for a long time. It was lying down to rest. It was also yawning with its mouth wide open. A pair of front teeth were exposed in its mouth. Only one could be seen on its head turned sideways. The eyes, waist are concave, buttocks are protruding, and the tail drags naturally on the ground. If you look carefully, you can see that there are long lion hairs on the body and the color is cyan. It is really a blue lion. Does it look like it to everyone? picture. Then please look at us from a different perspective.

The elephant stood energetically, its long trunk dragging on the ground. Its tusks, front legs, and hind legs were clearly visible, but its tail was not visible. Why? It turned out that the Elephant King's tail was short and small, which really undermined the Elephant King's majesty compared with its big body, so it secretly hid its tail in the cave.

Blue lions and elephants are so big that it’s probably not too much to call them lion kings or elephant kings. The Lion King and the Elephant King are lined up on both sides, with their heads facing the entrance of the cave. They look like two guards guarding Shanjuan Cave, and they also look like two hospitable hosts, welcoming everyone.

Follow me to see a strange stone, we call it "changeable stone". Viewed from different angles, it sometimes looks like an ape, sometimes like a toad, sometimes like a fox or a seal... Because the stalactites in the cave are all figurative stones, you must stand in a good position to see them realistically. In our jargon, it doesn’t look alike, but it does look a bit similar. If you look at it from a good angle, the more you look at it, the more similar it becomes. Okay, please follow me and move forward.

Engraved on this stone wall are the four characters "The Realm of Desire". In Buddhist teachings, the Realm of Desire refers to the world of mortals, which is the colorful world where humans live. The literal explanation is " means "heaven on earth". These four words are the words of praise given by Tao Hongjing, Mr. Zhenbai of Liang Dynasty, to Shanjuan Cave. Tao Hongjing is a famous figure in Taoism in my country. He made very important contributions to the development of Taoism. At that time, he was known as the "Prime Minister of the Mountains". Well, since this "Prime Minister of the Mountain" has given Shanjuan Cave such a high evaluation, then everyone is welcome and please come with me to heaven.

My friends looked up at the top of the cave. The rocks above seemed to be filled with clouds and mist. The whole cave was surrounded by white clouds and mist. It was like standing in the center of the sea and could not see the edge, so we went up to the cave. It is called the "cloud and fog field".

Shangdong is characterized by warm winters and cool summers, spring-like weather all year round, and a year-round temperature of around 23 degrees Celsius. Some friends may want to ask: Is air conditioning installed in the upper cave? Otherwise, how can it maintain a constant temperature? It is not because of the installation of air conditioning, but because of the insulation effect of a large stone. The entire cave is made of stones. As for which stone it is, friends may wish to observe it carefully during the tour. After visiting the cave, Let me unravel the mystery for you.

Please see above a huge bat spreading its wings and flying towards you, with a small bat following closely behind it. In ancient times, bats were regarded as a kind of mascot, and there were sayings such as "ten thousand blessings will come to the court", "five blessings will come to the door" and "good fortune and longevity".

There is also a willow tree growing next to this small pool. From the small hole in the tree trunk, it can be seen that it has been growing for many years, but it still looks full of vitality, with lush branches and drooping branches. Willow branches seem to be expressing a warm welcome to everyone's arrival.

The stalactite above the head is the same as the "Zhuzhu Peak" in the middle cave. It also grew from dripping water. The difference is that this stalactite is still dripping down. The ground grows downward. If anyone doesn't believe it, you might as well take out a ruler and measure its current length. If you measure it again in fifty years, you can confirm whether my words are true or false. Viewed from this angle, this stalactite looks like a budding lotus. Friends who want to see the lotus bloom, please follow me forward.

Friends, please look down. This scene can’t help but remind you of the description in the ancient text "The Theory of Love and Lotus": It emerges from the mud but is not stained, washes the clear ripples but is not evil, is straight in the middle and straight to the outside, is not spreading or branching , you can watch it from a distance but don’t play with it. The lotus flowers that were still in bud just now are now blooming in the water. I wonder if any of my friends have smelled the fragrance of the lotus flowers.

Actually, what we saw just now was just a reflection in the water. The water below was not deep, only a dozen centimeters, but it looked particularly deep and beautiful under the light.

Friends, please come closer to me. As we said before, you need to stand at a good angle when viewing the scenery. Otherwise, it will be like wandering into a cave in confusion.

First of all, what we see is a white horse. The color of its body is white, and its hind legs cannot be seen because it is sitting. Now let us change the angle and look at the opposite side. See One look at what it has become?

Friends, let’s take a closer look. Who can guess what kind of animal this is? Yes, this is an old sheep. From the bulge on its back, it looks like a Tibetan yak. ​​From its long ears, it looks like a cute little white rabbit. Just from its head down From the perspective of the triangle area, it looks like a small goldfish, but as a whole, it looks more like an old sheep. According to custom, after the Year of the Horse, the Year of the Sheep will usher in. Can we draw this couplet from it: "The horse is returning through the snow, and the spirit sheep is coming to welcome the spring." This stone allows you to see two animals due to different angles. We call it "sitting on a horse and standing on a sheep".

Please turn around and look at the black stripe on the stone wall. This is a black dragon. The tail of this dragon is dragging in the pool to absorb water. There is water in several other pools in the upper cave, but this pool is dry and has no water. The water has been sucked up by it, and then sprayed out from its raised mouth, "Oolong spray of water in a line" , sprayed into a large area in the air." It's going to rain here soon. Please leave immediately to avoid getting wet and catching a cold.

What appears before our eyes now is a humorous painting painted for us by nature, the super sculptor: a bear climbing a tree. There was a bear lying on the trunk of the tree. When it saw the oolong spraying water, it was so frightened that it hurriedly climbed up the tree. Because this bear was usually pampered, it was inevitable that he would gain weight. But at the critical moment, his secret was revealed. After millions of years of climbing, He failed to climb up, but even his tail crawled off. Standing on the branch is a mountain eagle, its pointed beak pointed downwards, as if it is laughing at this stupid bear. But in my opinion, although this bear is a little stupid, its indomitable and hard-working spirit is still worth learning.

Shangdong is a good place to shoot movies. The Tiger Hall in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" was filmed here. At that time, the tiger skin throne of this mountain sculpture was placed in the middle of the platform. Luan Ping was brought here on the road we just walked. In addition, the Yellow Wind Cave in the eighth episode of the TV series "Journey to the West" and the movie "The Stranger Beyond the Wall" were also filmed here.

The entire cave is supported by two plum trees. Please see the tree on the right consisting of upper and lower parts. In order to prevent itself from being eliminated by nature, this plum tree finally grew together after tens of thousands of years. There are obvious traces of connection in the middle, which is called the "eternal double tree". "Mei" means "plum".

The winter plum tree on the left has bent roots and luxuriant branches and leaves. Among them, the small branches are scattered, or solitary and cut like pens, or they can be densely packed like a forest. What's even more peculiar is that there is a red panda on it, with round ears, black eyes, and playing with a hydrangea in its two front legs. It looks very lively and cute. Since arriving at Shanjuan Cave, this red panda felt that the living conditions here were very suitable for it, so it lived in seclusion here for a long time and never wanted to return to its hometown in Sichuan.

In the legend of gods, the heaven and earth were separated by Pangu. Please see here a muscular palm with fingers spread apart and palm facing up. It seems to be supporting the roof of the cave with force. We call it "Pangu supports the sky". The earliest formation of Shanjuan Cave began here. The water in this pool is 3% heavier than the tap water used daily. It contains more minerals, is crystal clear, stays clear forever, and can cure eye diseases.

In Shanjuan Cave, there is a cave in the mountain, a building in the cave, and a building above. Now, friends are invited to climb up to a higher level and enjoy the panoramic view of the upper cave.

Friends, before visiting the Shangdong Cave, I once said that the Shangdong Cave can maintain a constant temperature mainly by relying on a stone to insulate it. I don’t know if any of my friends found this during the tour just now. A stone? Now it's time to reveal the mystery. Please look forward and look at "A flying cloud covers the entrance of the cave." This stone is like a flying cloud covering the upper entrance of the cave, leaving only a small gap. In addition, there is also The horizon of the upper cave blocks the air convection inside and outside the cave, which results in a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius in the upper cave all year round.

The tour to the Upper Cave ends here, but the magical scenery of Shanjuan Cave is mainly concentrated in the Lower Cave and Water Cave. I would like to invite my friends to continue to visit the Lower Cave with me.

The four words "Eliminate all diseases" were originally not written by Rong Yiren, but by the national capitalist Mr. Rong Desheng. Speaking of which, there is a good story in it!

Mr. Rong and Mr. Chu Nanqiang are good friends. When Mr. Rong learned that his friend had spent all his family property to renovate Shanjuan Cave, and even sold out his wife’s jewelry and daughter-in-law’s dowry, he was very moved. We came to a helping hand and donated all the cement needed in the cave. In 1934, when the cave was renovated and officially opened to the public, Mr. Chu Nanqiang specially invited Mr. Rong to visit. Mr. Rong was very happy. Although he was not feeling well at the time, he still accepted the invitation. Unexpectedly, after swimming up and down, he was deeply attracted by the magical scenery of Shanjuan Cave. He felt very comfortable and even the discomfort was cured. On a whim, he wrote down It was a pity that the original inscription was destroyed as the "Four Olds" during the "Cultural Revolution", and was later copied here by his son Rong Yiren, the vice president of the country. Here I also wish that all my friends who are sick will be freed from all diseases, and those who are not sick will be healthier.

The "staircase" is the entrance to the cave. From here, you have to go through 105 steps, which is five floors deep. It turns out that the middle cave and the lower cave are only connected by a small cave. In order to prevent tourists from turning back when visiting, 20 craftsmen started digging here every day in 1925, and it took a full 10 years to open it. There are four gates to pass on the way: Fenglei Gate, Wave Gate, Golden Drum Gate, and Ten Thousand Horse Gate. Whenever it rains, the sound of rain and the sound of running water in the cave are refracted and transmitted here, producing a roar. From different angles, you can hear four different sounds: wind and thunder, rolling waves, and the sound of golden drums. , thousands of horses galloping. It's a clear sky outside today and there's no sign of rain. If any of you are interested in art, you might as well appreciate the poetry on a rainy day.

The upper cave and the middle cave are characterized by being tall and spacious, but the lower cave is like a long and narrow corridor, with gurgling water, as if you have come to another world. The lower cave is also called "Another Day."

Please see there are a bunch of bananas, a few lentils, an old loofah, corn, and peppers on the stone wall in front. Below is an eagle, like a patron saint, guarding these fruits, which can only be provided to you. Appreciate, not taste. There is an old birthday boy below looking at you with a smile, with a shaved head and a long beard. This is called "The birthday boy smiles and wishes you good health."

"Heavy snow is pressing down on the green pines, the green pines are Straight and straight. If you want to know how noble the pine is, wait until the snow melts." This is a poem written by Marshal Chen Yi, one of the top ten marshals in my country, to praise the upright character of the pine tree. Please look at the pine tree in front, with its thick trunk and branches. Covering the sky, it is tall and straight, and its branches are also covered with a thick layer of snow. However, it still stands proudly despite the severe cold. It is called the "Stone Pine that reaches the sky."

Looking up, there are three words "Huagaiding" on it. This is the highest point of the lower cave, 22 meters away from the surface. There are two Buddha statues here, one sitting and one standing. There were originally more than 500 Buddha statues in Shanjuan Cave. Most of them were smashed as "four olds" during the Cultural Revolution. The two Buddha statues were placed too high and the terrain was dangerous. No one dared to climb up desperately. Difficult to survive.

In front is the entrance of the cave. You can see a ray of light, but it is blocked by pieces of stalactites hanging down from the roof of the cave. These stalactites are like Buddha's hands and curtains, so this place is called "Buddha Water Curtain". The "Honeycomb Cave" in the Peking Opera "Panshiwan" was filmed here.

Open the curtain, and there is a waterfall on the stone cliff opposite. The water rushes down from above. The water hits the rocks, and the rocks throw water. They hit each other, splashing strings of flying pearls and jade liquid. Compared with the ordinary natural The waterfall has another charm. Mr. Chu Nanqiang, a famous person in Yixing who presided over the renovation of Shanjuan Cave, once wrote a poem about it: "Thousands of waves come up, and the Milky Way is hanging upside down with a smile. It is collected in Mr.'s intestines, and it sways into a lake and a sea, filled with thunder." According to this poem The meaning of the poem, this brown pavilion is named "Luxin Pavilion". It is a good place to take pictures. If you want to take pictures, you can go and take pictures. After taking pictures, we will go to visit the essence of Shanjuan Cave. Location - Water Cave Crystal Palace.

A bell and a drum hang on the stone wall on the right. There is nothing strange about this kind of bell and drum now, but a miracle will happen when it rains. Water drips continuously on the drum surface, and the waves below hit the stone bell and it will play a beautiful and melodious sound. Beautiful music, if the lion elephant in the middle cave is compared to a guard of honor, then this is a band.

The variety of lotus flowers in the upper hole is extraordinary. The flowers bloom in the upper hole, but the three-knotted lotus roots are knotted in the lower hole. There are also pumpkins and tomatoes on the side.

My friends, now we have arrived at the water pier, which is also the heart of the cave, called the "Heart of the Valley". You have just roamed hundreds of meters up and down, and you must be a little tired. Please go to the "Dongting" Take a break.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Li Wei. When he was young, he chose to live in Bixian Temple behind Shanjuan Cave to study poetry and books. After getting up early one morning, he saw a dragon swimming out of the water cave. With the dragon's head facing the entrance of the cave, breathing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, Li Ju immediately wrote a memorial to the emperor, saying, "The appearance of the dragon must be auspicious to the emperor." There is a huge stone at the gate archway with the words "Eternal Spiritual Traces" written by the famous calligrapher Qian Songyan. These four words are Li Wei's memorial to Shanjuan Cave.

The Chinese people have always regarded the dragon as the supreme object of worship. Since this important Mr. Li Yi has words to prove it, it is difficult for future generations to distinguish. The inscription of Li Yi has greatly improved the reputation of the good people. The popularity of Juandong has cast a layer of mystery on Shanjuandong, and it has also caused a lot of trouble for future generations to repair.

In 1933, Mr. Chu Nanqiang, a local celebrity, was determined to open the connection between the lower cave and the water cave. However, the masons were superstitious about the legend of the thousand-year-old dragon and did not dare to build boldly. Coincidentally, the German Heijingbo Circus was holding an animal training performance in Shanghai, which stirred up the whole city. After Mr. Chu knew the news, he asked someone to contact the circus, hoping that they could capture the white dragon. Mr. Yang I am not taboo about dragons, but I am very smart about business. I think that this white dragon may not be able to be captured, and whether it can be performed after being captured is even more of a problem. Although I have been taming animals for more than 20 years, I can command lions and elephants as I wish. But this was the first time to catch a dragon. If something happened and the sign was damaged, it wouldn't be worth it, so I politely declined.

Mr. Chu took a breath and insisted on finding out whether it was true or not. He personally supervised the masonry work and worked day and night for several years. Finally, he finally got through it. He was the first to explore the small cave in a small boat. , the result? Not even a water snake was seen, let alone a thousand-year-old white dragon.

Since then, the myth of the white dragon hidden in the water cave has only been passed down as a legend among the people. However, in this graceful and winding water cave, the mysterious artistic conception of "the boat is sailing in the water, its oars are propped up to the sky", It is a mystery in people's minds after all. Some of you here can't help but want to take a boat to see what's going on. Now, will you all follow me on a boat to appreciate the artistic conception of the water cave?

Friends, please sit tight, now we start visiting the water cave.

The water cave was originally an ancient underground river, 120 meters long, with three twists and turns. The widest point of the water surface is 6 meters, and the deepest point is nearly 5 meters. There is a dripping showerhead in front, so please protect it. Never hit your head in a big bag and take it back as a souvenir. "Shuitou" is the lowest point of the water cave rock formation. Please lower your head and see the reflection in the water in front of you. It is colorful, the walls are shining, and the water and stone are all the same color. It feels like you are in the mythical "Crystal Palace".

Protruding in front is a crocodile from the Yangtze River. After it came to Shanjuan Cave, it could never go back. It was so angry that its eyes turned red. If you have seen the crocodile head, be careful with your head. There is an old turtle resting next to it. "If you pass the crocodile head, you can go boating at the foot of the snow-capped mountains." There is a snow-capped mountain next to the crocodile head. The ice and snow in the mountain have melted, and there is a small trail in the middle that leads directly to the top of the mountain.

The boating in the cave is weird and different. The oars in other places are paddling in the water, but you can see that the oar in my hand is propped up. This is called paddling upwards.

"There is no way out when the wall is blocked, but there is a sky when the water is different." After turning a 90-degree right-angled bend and coming to the second bend, there is a ship in the corner of the turn. It is not the Dongfeng or the Ocean. , is the "Stone Ship" in Shanjuan Cave. Because the equipment on the ship is so backward, it took more than 4,000 years to open a ship. It is estimated that it will take another 50,000 years to open all the ships. By then, everyone is welcome. Visit again.

Listen carefully to the sound of dripping water, it is like a never-ending "Drip Concerto", just like calling the legendary white dragon. Qing Dynasty poet Xie Fanlian once wrote a poem The poem "Shanjuan Xiaoshuidong": "The stone is clear and the raindrops are heard, and the sinus is cold and the wind is blowing. I am afraid that after playing the piano for a long time, a white dragon will rise from the deep pool."

While admiring the twists and turns of the river and the steep cliffs , the overwhelming sky, and all kinds of strange natural shapes, you can use your rich imagination to imagine that you are visiting underground galleries, underground museums, or exploring underground.

Leave the cave and go up the stairs. The stone walls are engraved with poems and songs by many tourists at home and abroad praising Shanjuan Cave. Visitors may wish to take a rest while chanting. Please see, here is the message left by Mr. Jiang Shunan, who is known as the "Second Xu Xiake" after the tour: "A good book never tires of traveling a hundred times, a beauty never tires of reading a thousand times, and a second cave never tires of returning ten thousand times." On this reinforced stone wall, The original engraved poem contains the poem "A flying cloud turns into a colorful butterfly". It is said that this is due to the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai turning into butterflies and flying together.

In this ancient four-cornered stele pavilion, the three characters "Bixian'an" on the stele were written by Li Wei, the military envoy of Taining and Fengxiang in the Tang Dynasty. On the back and upper side of the monument is the "Mound of Jin Zhuyingtai Qin and Sword", opposite the "Butterfly Pavilion", standing against the rock. In the past, in this area, the 28th day of the third lunar month was celebrated as the "Butterfly Viewing Festival". On this day, thousands of pairs of butterflies flew together among the flowers on the green hills. Among them, a pair of huge butterflies appeared at noon. It is said that they were transformed by the spirits of the "Butterfly Lovers". They flew in pairs and finally circled the pavilion three times and flew to Bixian Temple. Then disappeared. There is an ancient poem: "The clear and lonely cloud pine road, butterflies flying among the fragrant grass." "The butterflies are condensed in the mountains, and the flowers are blooming, thinking of the beauty of the jade."

"Zhu Yingtai Reading Center", this is A complex of antique buildings with one scene per step, it was rebuilt on the old site of "Bixian Temple" in 1992. Let's go into the garden and take a look.

Sitting north and facing south is the "Yingtai Pavilion". Below is the place where Liang Zhu studied, played the piano and entertained. The second floor is the bedroom. The "Yingtai Bookstore" on the right side of Yingtai Pavilion displays eight lacquer-carved screens, which record eight short stories such as "Caoqiao Sworn Worship", "Eighteen Years of Farewell" and "Yingtai Resistance to Marriage".

Okay, let us bid farewell to Butterfly Lovers, walk through the corridor, and visit three ancient people again. "Sanshengtang", there are three statues of gods in it, with the same figure, face, and beard, and they all hold a book in their right hand. Who are they? One is Li Wei from the Tang Dynasty, the person who wrote the three characters "Bixian'an"; the second is Li Gang from the Northern Song Dynasty; and the third is Li Zengbo from the Southern Song Dynasty. These three people all lived and studied in Shanjuan Temple. Later, they became high officials and all contributed money to renovate the temple. Since all three of them were named Li, the local people thought that they were one person who had three children, so they made three identical ones. idol. There is a couplet that speaks very vividly: "One person reincarnates, three prime ministers, three lives build a temple, and one marriage."

We entered through the gate tower of Shanjuan Cave and exited through the "Huazang Gate", the mountain gate of Shanjuan Ancient Temple. The whole tour ends here. In front of it is a commodity street with local characteristics. Not far to the west is the "Guoshan Monument" known as the "No. 1 Monument in Jiangnan".
