November 18, 2012 was cloudy, and it was a good time to visit the mountains and waters. Hongxing Fastener Co., Ltd. organized a trip to Shimen Cave in Lishui. Shimen Cave Scenic Area is located on the north bank of Oujiang River, 30 kilometers northwest of Qingtian County, and its Forest Park Scenic Area is on the south bank of National Highway 330. In the Tang Dynasty, Shimen Cave became the twelfth cave of the thirty-six caves in the famous Taoist mountains in China. There are cliff inscriptions with a long history and high density distribution here; there are many allusions left by Xie Lingyun, Liu Ji, Chen Cheng and others. Legends and relics; there are ancient cultural deposits such as simple mountain villages, deep and secluded ancient temples, Gaoyuan Taoist temples, etc.; there are also breathtaking waterfalls, cascading undulating mountains, winding Oujiang River and tributaries Xiushui, and vast and lush forests Vegetation, rare alpine meadows in the south of the Yangtze River, varied mountain climates, dangerous and deep peaks, cliffs and caves, and rich wildlife resources. Among them, Li Bai wrote the magnificent poem "Shimen Cave" in Shimen Cave, Qingtian.
He Nian was shocked,
The clouds scattered and the cliffs cracked.
straight up the Milky Way,
Eternal flow.
Because we have never been there before, it is said that there is a strong cultural and natural atmosphere there. With a spirit of exploration, bring friends with you to experience the joy of traveling in the mountains and water, as well as the joy of history and simple culture.
At 7.30 am, take the bus from the gate of the company. It took about an hour and a half to reach the destination - Shimen Cave. Looking across the Ou River, a flyover caught our eye. When I got out of the car, I saw a huge stone with the words "Shimendongtian" written on it and signed Mr. Sha Menghai. We took a few photos and then boarded the boat and started to enter the scenic spot.
On the ferry, facing the Oujiang River from north to south, I saw carp jumping from time to time, which seemed very comfortable. The wind from the river blows our faces, and looking back at the river, there are beautiful mountains to the left and right. At the foot of the mountain on the north bank is National Road 330, and there are several families living there. On the south bank is the Shimendong Forest Park Scenic Spot, which is also very beautiful. The dense green vegetation makes a wonderful picture. On the cliffs of the river bank, a plank road was also built, and some fresh expressions were heard.
Gradually, the boat approached the gate of Shimen in the scenic spot. When I looked up, a railway bridge passed over the Shimen Valley entrance, forming two peculiar landscapes with the higher overpass. The entrance of the train shuttle is the stone walls on both sides of Shimen Cave, which are connected by an elevated iron bridge. I think, is this railway the Jin (Hua) Wen (zhou) railway? The answer is yes.
Walk out of the Chanyuan and walk towards Liu Wencheng's Ancestral Hall. Liu Wencheng Temple is dedicated to Liu Ji (Liu Bowen), a great statesman, strategist and poet in Qingtian history. Liu Ji, courtesy name Bowen, was posthumously named "Gong Wencheng" after his death. Therefore, some people honor him as "Liu Wencheng". The existing public ancestral hall (1933) was rebuilt with funds from Zhenhai Yu Haqing and Chongming Lu Anshi. The couplet is written on it: "Famous and sages were born for the Sheji, only Jingxing Qingyun has a bright light and two Zhejiang, and with the help of the river and mountains, this is the ploughing eyebrows and covering the pots." We admired the statue of Liu Gong, and then came to the cliff to fly. waterfall.
The cliff waterfall is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Shimen Cave. The water on the mountain fell from the 100-meter-high cliff and descended to the deep pool, forming a curtain of waterfalls. It is said that this is a good place to escape the summer, more like a paradise. At this time, I was thinking that the ancient wise men came here, admired such a beautiful scenery, and then made it with emotion. Wouldn't it be very happy. Liu Ji studied and cultivated in such a feng shui treasure when he was a child, and it is truly amazing to have achieved a generation of heroes. We took a group photo next to the deep pool to commemorate the trip.
