Tong Tong Tuen, a treasure of Feng Shui

Qin Chaowang

Tongtong Tun is known as "Tongtong Village" in Zhuang dialect, which means flat. It is located in the northeast of Huanjiang Maonan Autonomous County, among the 90,000 mountains. The north bank of the Zhongzhou River (also known as the Xiaohuan River) is under the administrative jurisdiction of the Jiaxing Village Committee of Dongxing Town. It is about 70 to 80 kilometers away from Huanjiang County and about 10 kilometers away from the location of Dongxing Town. It borders Caile Village to the east, Duya Village to the south, Hekuang Village of Minglun Town to the west, and Northern Song Village of Minglun Town to the north. It is about three kilometers away from the Northern Song Dynasty Monument, a historical site.

The same village is located against the mountain, from northwest to southeast, in the direction of Ganshan and Xunda. Behind the village is the steep and beautiful mountain that stretches from the boundary of Minglun Town. The mountain is majestic and stretches like a crouching dragon. After arriving at the village.

There is a high mountain on the right side of the village. The mountain walls are steep and the stone cliffs are majestic. It is a rare mountain within a radius of dozens of kilometers. "Guan Gong", hence the name of Guan Gong Mountain. Not far from Guan Gong Mountain, there is a mountain whose upper half seems to have been flattened with a big knife, leaving only half a platform. According to legend, this man was disloyal and was beheaded by Guan Gong in anger... Guan Gong Mountain has since Since ancient times, it has been said that there are gods on the mountain, and the villagers of Tongtongtun have respected it from generation to generation. Every time during the New Year, weddings, foundation laying, and other festive events in the village, pigs and cows will be slaughtered and cows will be slaughtered in the open space facing the mountain, and incense will be burned to worship. Guan Gong Mountain has become an object of worship in the hearts of Tong Ting Tun people. Tong Ting Tun people are usually called Guan Gong Shanzi (female) by outsiders and are very proud of it.

There are four large cave entrances under Guan Gong Mountain, one in the front and three on the left. Two of them have water flowing all year round. The front cave flows out with clear stream water, and the side cave flows out with A rushing underground river, the river is full of joy day and night, like a flock of birds singing. In addition, the place it flows upstream is an uninhabited area of ​​virgin forest, with only birds chirping and insects chirping, so the locals call it the "Bird River" (in Zhuang dialect). Free translation), the water of the Bird River flows southward into the Zhongzhou River.

Behind Tongtong Village is a mountain shaped like an elder saint. The saint is wearing a robe on his shoulders and facing Guan Gong Mountain. The mountain behind it is called Peach Blossom Mountain (meaning there is a forest of peach trees in Zhuang dialect). Taohua Mountain has two flat peaks. It originally wanted to extend to the left, but was intercepted by a small river, forming a confrontation between high mountains and flowing water. The river flows between the mountains and ridges for more than ten kilometers. The river passes between the mountains and the water flows among the rocks. People in the village call it "Shihe" (free translation in Zhuang dialect).

The Shihe River pours down the 100-meter-high mountainside next to Taohua Mountain, forming a famous waterfall landscape. Because Shihe Waterfall is located on the left side of Tongcun Village, with a dragon on the left and a tiger on the right, it is also known as Tongtong Longtan Waterfall. The dripping water penetrates the stone, and over time, a deep green round pool is left under the waterfall. When the flood season comes, the waterfall is overwhelming, and the water mist floats in the mountains. The pool is impacted by the water column of the waterfall, making a deafening roar; in the dry season, it makes a deafening roar. It is like a large natural green dye vat, or more like an emerald set between the mountains. The water from the Shihe River flows out for about one kilometer and merges into the Zhongzhou River. During the rainy season, the color of the river water coming from different directions is often different. At the intersection of two rivers, there is often a clear distinction between Jing and Wei.

In front of Tongtong Village is a vast fertile field. The fertile land benefited from the hundreds of meters of stone troughs and channels carved out by the ancestors of Tongtong Village from the caves on the side of Guangong Mountain, leading to the Bird River in the mountain. Proceeds from water irrigation; the paddy fields are flat with little unevenness. Spring plowing and autumn harvests ensure harvests despite droughts and floods. As a result, villagers in Tingtongtun have never left their homes and begged for generations.

In front of the fertile fields is the Zhongzhou River, which is one of the tributaries of the Pearl River that merges into the Liujiang River. It originates from the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Therefore, the river is often dangerous and the water is fast, and it is rarely smooth and smooth until it reaches the front of Tongtong Village. The gentle nature of the water was restored, and the river flowed slowly from east to west. Because the river was calm and wide, the ancestors built a stone-stepped wharf on the side of Tongtong Village and opened a large wooden boat for passengers and cargo across the river. Tongtong Village was supported by Tongtong Village for several generations. Until the bridge was built in the early 21st century, Tongtong Village could be said to be like this - facing a thousand-mile long river from ancient times to the present, crossing the same river, and facing hundreds of mountains, the descendants of Tongtong Village cultivated hundreds of acres of land.

This is Tongtong Village, a treasure land of Feng Shui and a place of outstanding people. Have you been there?
