1. Hill

The hill is located ten kilometers east of the county. In the pre-Qin period, it was called "Jia" and "Xianjian", and in the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was called "Liuqiu". In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was called "Xia", "Ma Liu", also known as "Liu". It has been commonly known as "Little Mountain" in the past dynasties. It was formed by volcanic eruptions in the late Quaternary period 30,000 years ago. The original altitude is 36 meters, 1.5 kilometers wide from east to west, and 7 kilometers long from north to south. Although the mountain is small, it is the only mountain on the Jidong Plain.

The hill area borders the Bohai Sea to the east, Qilu to the south, and Beijing and Tianjin to the north. It has been the place where the Nine Rivers of the North China Plain enter the sea since ancient times, and is the final intersection of the Nine Rivers culture. As early as the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor Yingzheng sent the alchemist Xu Fu to lead 3,000 boys and girls into the sea to seek the elixir of immortality. Xu Fu never returned, but the First Emperor came here in person, looking forward to the return of Qian Tong. Wangzi Island in Haixing is named after this. Today's folk custom "Xinzi Festival" in Yanshan and Haixing areas evolved from the "Xunzi" sacrificial activity in the Qin Dynasty ("Xun" is pronounced "Xin" in the local dialect). Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, also went to the hill to "watch sacrifices" and looked at the gods of Penglai Fairy Mountain in the distance to seek longevity. Not only did he "make a ship, he ordered thousands of people from the sacred mountains in the sea to pray for the Penglai god and stay at sea." He also set up post trains on land and sent more than a thousand alchemists to quietly search for immortals. Therefore, two sea-viewing platforms were built in Xiaoshandong to observe and contact people seeking immortality from both sides. Today, the ruins of the two platforms still exist, and they are locally known as "Wudi Terrace". The north and south stations are 30 kilometers apart. The north station is more than 30 kilometers northeast of Xiaoshan. In recent years, Haixing cultural workers have accurately positioned the southern station 6 kilometers due east of Xiaoshan based on relevant cultural relics and literature research.

In 206 AD, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty, Cao Cao, personally led an army to conquer the pirate Guan Cheng, and reached the area of ​​Xiaoshan and Dashan (Magushan, Wudi County, Shandong Province, also known as Jieshi, facing Xiaoshan 20 kilometers away.) "Encountering mountains and facing the sea", I climbed up and looked far away, and wrote the famous poem "Guan Cang Sea". The "Putao Well" 30 kilometers northeast of the hill (slightly south of Emperor Wu's Taipei) is said to be the place where Cao Gong drank his horse. Wang Ao, the official secretary of the Ming Dynasty (now a native of Mengcun County), wrote the poem "Putao Well": "The Emperor's Taipei went south. The cold spring is extremely powerful and the whip is suspended; the jealous woman seizes the opium and drinks the horse, and overthrows the unknown age. "Wang Tianguan also wrote a poem "Wudi Terrace": "The ground is built with a high platform of more than a hundred feet, and there is a fairy residence when you climb up to look at the sea. The imperial edict was regretful, but Luan Dawen's success was always in vain."

“A mountain is not high, but it is famous if it has immortals.” Xiaoshan is a famous historical mountain, and it is also a monument of traditional culture with rich cultural landscape and lasting meaning. According to historical records, there were many ancient buildings on the mountain, including Wanghai Temple, Jade Emperor Temple, Yaowang Temple, Dragon King Temple, Qilongkou Immortal Bridge, Octagonal Glazed Pagoda, Baiyi Grandma Temple, and Qinglong Temple. There used to be ancient cypresses, ancient tea trees and other magnificent trees, which provided shade and blocked out the sun. As time has passed, these monuments have disappeared, but the ruins remain. Only one woodcut couplet removed from the Dragon King Temple in the 1940s still survives among the people. It was written by He Shaoji, a famous scholar, calligrapher and painter of the Qing Dynasty. It said: "When spring comes, there is no color in the sky, but when it rains, there is no sound on earth."

Good birds choose trees to roost in. Relying on its unique geographical location and excellent Feng Shui, Xiaoshan has always been a battleground for military strategists of all ages. There is an old folk song: "The hills are like hills, Maliu Mountain, rivers of blood and mountains of bones...". After investigation, a large number of ancient remains from different historical stages since the Neolithic Age have been discovered, especially ancient tombs. Numerous pottery, porcelain, bronze mirrors, bronze swords, copper pots, coins and other cultural relics have also been unearthed on the mountain (there is also a tiger charm, which was unearthed in Shanhou Village, Xiaoshan and was lost in the early years.), many of which are now stored in the county cultural relics depository. .

The Xiaoshan site itself is a typical group of ancient tombs. Ancient tombs are scattered all over the hillsides, especially those from the Warring States and Han Dynasties. The most prominent one in the south is the "Liu Yang Tomb", a key cultural relic protection unit in Hebei Province (according to research, the owner of the tomb is Liu Yang, the great-grandson of Liu Bang and cousin of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty), commonly known as "Tuanshanzi". In August 2003, due to improper construction by a military unit, the main peak of the hill was severely damaged. But it also solved the mystery that has troubled cultural relics workers for many years that the main peak is suspected to be artificially built. The cultural relics management departments at the provincial, municipal and county levels jointly conducted an archaeological team investigation of the main body of the hill and ancient tunnels (the hill has multiple tunnels from the Warring States or Han Dynasties, which are suspected to be large-scale underground fortifications at that time.

The flowers of the four seasons are fragrant and dark, and the shadow of the pagoda shines on the forest surface. There are hundreds of gurgling springs on the shore, which are full of spring water. The mountains and rivers are secluded and there are few people passing by here. The spirit traces the Nine Rivers, and the terrain controls the three islands; sitting on the green Wei with a pot, quietly listening to the songs of birds. ”

“Many saints and sages have visited us since ancient times, but now there are more visitors than ever before. ” (The author’s sentence titled “Liu Mountain People’s Folk Culture Village”) The hill has been designated as a provincial volcanic landform nature reserve, a cultural relics reserve and a municipal key tourism development zone. Tourists from far and near come here continuously to enjoy the scenery. , I believe there will be more elegant poems and poems praising Xiaoshan. It will become a dazzling pearl adorning the crown of Cangzhou Bohai New District

2. Pixi City and Yangcheng Reservoir Ancient Ruins Group

Yangcheng Reservoir is a beautiful Haixing. The main component of the wetland is an artificial freshwater lake, which was built according to the terrain in the 1950s. More than 50 families and more than 230 species of birds inhabit and breed in the reservoir area. In recent years, Haixing cultural relics workers have discovered that there are two large lakes in the reservoir area. The ancient shell embankment, more than ten ancient village ruins, and an ancient city ruins are believed to be the remains of a section of the east-west wall in the eastern part of the ancient city of the Qi Dynasty during the Warring States Period. The ancient city here is the ancient Wudi city, and the bronze seal of "Chu Pass" of the Warring States Period unearthed in the city site (the seal of the "Chu Pass" guard at the east end of the Great Wall of Qi) provides strong evidence for the identification of the site of the Great Wall of Qi.

Through the analysis and identification of pottery fragments, metal artifacts, jade stone artifacts, clam fragments, and ancient shell fragments collected from the site group, the earlier ones were from the Neolithic Age and the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Cultural relics, and more are relics from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Ming Dynasty. In 1998, more than a hundred urn coffins and bow caps and other cultural relics were discovered in the shell embankment. The owners were boys and girls aged thirteen or fourteen. With the help of literature research, we can accurately locate the site of "丱xi City" that has been debated for many years. It is an important part of the ancient "Great Salt Mountain". The focus of children's culture should be in Haixing (it is recommended to change "Yanshan Qiantong Culture" to "Cangzhou Qiantong Culture")

"丱xi City" is close to the sea and river, and was the place where Xu Fu traveled east during the Qin Dynasty. A sailing training camp where 3,000 boys and girls were recruited. Buried in urn coffins were Bohai boys who died from injuries, drowning or even escaped punishment. There are poems about it. Wang Shi said: "The Emperor of Qin asked for immortals to build the city of Pi, and a thousand children's thoughts exchanged for his immortality; Xian'an deceived and there was no news, and he was still ashamed of his name for eternity. "Huo's poem: "The birds pass through the city, and the poets shed tears when they see the poets walking by; new Du Ruo is gradually added to the northwest, and the old green mountains in the southeast remain unchanged. The emperor Wu who ascended the stage must eventually regret it, and Xu Fu who entered the sea will never return it; Japan is still in a bad storm, and it teaches people to hate the murmuring water. "Han's poem: "Xu Fu left his trace on the Bohai Sea, and there were few pedestrians in the deserted city and wilderness; thousands of children knew where they were when they left, and they didn't care about the dim spring tide. "Liu Shi:" The vast terrain of the wilderness was originally the site of the city of Pixi; where did the name of the city of Pixi come from? It originated from the ancestor Long, Emperor Qin. The ancestral dragon is the emperor and wishes to be an immortal, and the country will live for eternity and enjoy thousands of years. He is looking for the elixir of longevity, and he issued an edict to search for it from all over the country. Xu Fu came to Xianyang in response to the imperial edict. I have a magic trick to seek immortality. Please choose three thousand boys and girls to accompany me to Baiyun Township. ). When the King of Qin heard about it, he was deeply concerned and searched for the young children in the house. The children gathered in the city in tears and listened to Xu Fu's move in the wind. Sigh! Xu Fu cleverly borrowed the power of the emperor to bring this man and woman to the sea. The first one may be at Penglai Peak, otherwise he will be proud of his beard. The king of Qin hoped that his fortune would be lost, and his chariots and fishes would carry him along the Guandong Road. ”

On the north side of Yangcheng Reservoir is a large-scale ancient salt-making site, which is the largest salt-making site discovered so far in China. It is only in a small area of ​​120 square meters exposed above the water. , a large number of rusted copper and iron pieces, cord patterns, plain pottery pieces, and densely distributed Han half-liang copper coins were found. Below the surface was more than one meter thick original soil of vegetation and ash. According to research, the site dates from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the Han Dynasty. It is an early salt-making site and is most likely the earliest and largest salt-making site in my country.

(Provincial Key Cultural Protection Unit)

Since ancient times, the eastern coast of Haixing has been an important salt production area and a large-scale distribution center for fish and salt in my country. There have long been documented records that "the green smoke in thousands of stoves is boiling with salt, and the noisy chickens and dogs are making a good harvest". Zhang Yintan, a native of Qingyan Mountain, vividly describes the grand occasion of local salt cooking in his poem "On the Seaside": "A solitary guest in a foreign land spends his time by the riverside; visitors are as affectionate as water, and they dream of returning home after a long journey. The network is formed in the village and alleys, Boiling salt all over the sea; carrying spring nests and swallows arriving, a shell with broken flowers."

3. The ruins of Shurangyan Temple and Yang Wei's Tomb

"There is Liquan Temple in the south and Liquan Temple in the north. Surangyan Temple is one of the most famous temples on the Bohai Sea in ancient times. The site is located in the west of Xiangfang Township. It was built under the supervision of General Wei Chigong during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the fifth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty and was destroyed by war in the Qing Dynasty. Before the Cultural Revolution, a huge bronze Tang bell was unearthed, about two meters high and with hundreds of inscriptions. It is a pity that it was destroyed as it was excavated and sold into pieces for scrap. In 1975, the monuments of the "Mound to the Tomb of Yang Wei Hall" and the "Yang Wei Reading Office" of Yang Wei, the official minister of the Ming Dynasty, were discovered here. At that time, the stele was broken, but the handwriting was still clear. (Today, the ruins of the stele no longer exist.) In 1987, the stele (葑屃) of the "Yang Wei Study Place" stele was resurfaced and is now well preserved. According to historical records, Yang Wei once lived in Shurangama Temple when he was a boy, and studied with monks as his teachers. He devoted himself to studying and eventually became a great talent. In the 1970s, during the construction of the Zhangwei New River embankment project, numerous horses, cows, sheep and other stone-like objects were discovered near the ruins of Surangyan Temple. It can be concluded that this is the actual tomb of Yang Wei's tomb. (During the Cultural Revolution, Yang Wei’s tomb was destroyed in Wudi and became an empty tomb.)

Ming Dynasty official Sun Chongguang (named Liushan, Yang Wei’s sister-in-law.) The poem "Haifeng Surangyan Temple" says: "Silent Outside Lonely Village, the Zen forest reflects the green canal; the sorghum is shining in the evening, and the fish are cold under the decaying banks. The ancient Tang inscriptions are in the temple, and the grass of the Song Dynasty is still in Taiwu; River, the Tang text is the inscription on the big bell.)

4. Majestic ancient trees

Haixing has so many historical sites that it is difficult to mention them in detail, but several ancient trees in the area cannot be ignored. Machang Village, Suji Town, which is the only way to enter the county from the west. In the original village primary school, there is a vigorous and majestic Tanghuai tree (more than a thousand years old, planted in the Tang Dynasty at the latest), with a crown of more than ten meters high and a circumference of several meters. There is a hollow space that can accommodate five primary school students. Some of the huge branches are withered and immortal, while some of the branches and leaves are still alive. Every time when school starts, schoolchildren crowd around the place, making it even more lush and spectacular. (The two ancient Sophora japonica trees in Gaowan Town are estimated to be hundreds of years old.)

Go south from the county, along the Coastal Cui Highway (Haixing to Cuikou, Shandong Province) for about ten kilometers to Cheng Village, Gaowan Town. You can see three Han cypresses (more than 2,000 years old, no later than the Han Dynasty) located on the site of Diaojia Garden to the west. Three ancient cypress trees surround it for several meters and are about 20 meters high. After going through vicissitudes of life, the ancient appearance has new glory; it is rare to stand proudly and depend on each other.

Located outside Beiwang Village, Xiangfang Township, in the southeastern part of the county, there is a little-known elm tree estimated to be about two thousand years old. This tree grows slowly and is an extremely rare tree species in the north. It is a rare living specimen that has survived to this day.
