The Yellow Scarf Army Village is the birthplace of Taiping Road and the base camp of the Yellow Scarf Army. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Jiao, a Julu man in Xingtai, founded "Taiping Road" in Lingxiao Mountain, gathering heroes from all directions, recruiting common people and punishing corrupt officials, which dealt a heavy blow to the decadent landlord class rule in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Up to now, the Yellow Scarf Army's command post, training ground, stone ladder, stockade gate, stockade wall, water dungeon, camp, tunnel, octagonal pavilion, etc. Still stay on the mountain. In particular, the water dungeon is well preserved, which is the place where Zhang Jiao punishes corrupt officials, powerful and evil gentry.
Transportation: Drive from the north exit of Xingtai of Beijing-Shenzhen Expressway, take Yingbin Avenue westbound to Xingxi Highway, take this road to Tianzhuang Road and go straight to Sigou Village. Get off at Xingtai Railway Station and take bus No.3 and No.6 from the railway station to Xingxi Bus Station. There is a direct bus.
The north gate of the military camp has disappeared, and there is a stone house across the village entrance, so it is the right gate. When I entered the village, the first thing I saw was a brick kiln, which was built for the village buildings in previous dynasties. A carefully carved stone arch bridge with a dragon head connects the Neizhai passage. At the end of the bridge is an ancient water well-octagonal glazed well, which is said to have been dug in the Eastern Han Dynasty and assembled by eight trapezoidal stones. The original camp near the well has been used as the Huanggu Temple, which was spontaneously rebuilt by believers who believe in Confucianism. There were two rolling dragon columns when Huanggu Temple opened its corner to build a palace. 1800 years, the dragon column has been quietly following in the morning light, but it was stolen by several people. Fortunately, they were found and recovered. After the dragon column was kept and collected by the cultural relics department, only two bluestone columns engraved with couplets were left at the scene.
On the right side of Huanggu Temple is a row of ordinary bungalows, all of which are idle. There is a yard 200 meters ahead, which is where the mountain people live. Go on, at the corner at the end of the path, there is a flat-topped boulder standing high on the edge of the cliff. This is one of the three podium of the Yellow Scarf Army in the past. Here, Zhang Jiao Ceng Dian joined forces to crusade against the Eastern Han regime, and launched a vigorous Yellow Scarf Army uprising in February 184.
Below the stage is a steep stone wall, which is located at the end of the canyon like a whole boulder. Because there are streams dripping on the stone wall all the year round, it is also called Dishuiyan. The stone wall is recessed into a large space, in which there is a reclining Buddha Temple (also called reclining Buddha Temple), which faces south. The reclining Buddha Temple is dedicated to the future Buddha of Zhongtian, which is the nirvana statue of Liu Caiyun, the founder of Confucianism in the Ming Dynasty. I heard that the reclining Buddha here is very effective. If you touch the corresponding part of the sleeping Buddha devoutly, you will feel sick.
Along a path, you can reach the south gate of the Yellow Scarf Army Camp, called the Nantianmen. The gate has disappeared, and only two stone gates show the former portal.
On the left side of the lower right cliff waterfall in Nantianmen is the water dungeon, where Zhang Jiao holds traitors and punishes corrupt officials. The terrain around the dungeon is steep and prickly. The dungeon has a small mouth and a big belly, and there are two houses under it, both of which are made of stone. The water depth is more than 1 m, and it will not dry up all the year round. Although it was also used to punish traitors here, it was the informer Tang Zhou who advanced the uprising by one month, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties.
Go up in the direction of Lingxiao's main peak to the second stronghold of the Yellow Scarf Army. There is a three-story pavilion-style octagonal pavilion here. It is an independent courtyard, facing south, and there are many rolling mills, stone mills and stone mortars scattered outside the courtyard. This is the equipment used by the Yellow Scarf Army to process food in the cottage. There are five flat-topped stone kilns in the courtyard, as well as a gatehouse and a wing. The gatehouse and wing have been rebuilt, and the stone kiln has maintained its original appearance. The stone kiln is dome-shaped, the top of the stone kiln is whitewashed, and there is a small window between the inner coat and the outer coat, with a wall thickness of 1 m. There is a stone niche on the western wall, and a curtain is hung outside, which is a panoramic view of Lingxiao Mountain. Many temples and halls shown in the schematic diagram no longer exist. Above the headquarters, there used to be the "King's Hall" and the iron tile building with opening angle, but unfortunately it has been destroyed. The Zhang brothers' platform is above the forest protection station and there are stone steps to climb. This step is connected with the step next to the forest protection station, and the material is wide and thick. Although it has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, it still remains intact and solid. The podium has three floors and is built on the mountain. The lower level is 42, the middle level is 13, and the upper level is 26, which is 981. There is a large flat land on the steps, which can accommodate hundreds of people. Pingdi is the platform of the Zhang brothers.
Above the stage is a small temple, which opens to worship several gods. On the left is the opening angle. The statue has heavy eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a shirt and sitting dangerously. The opening angle here is not called opening angle, but teacher Dade. There used to be a rolling dragon stone pillar in Lingxiaotang, which was engraved with "The Rock on Teacher Dade's Seat", and there are many records in the history books. Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Road, and was honored as a fairy by Taoism. The words and flowers carved on the stone pillars of the small temple are very spectacular. They are the original building components of Lingxiao. They are bright, smooth and jade-like, and they are all excellent stones. According to "Rebuilding the Empty Dragon Hall of Zhongyan Mountain", "Zhongyan Mountain is more than 70 miles in the trunk of Xingzhou, also known as Lingxiao Mountain and Wumashan Mountain. In ancient times, there were four mountain gates outside Yuncheng, namely, Red Gate, Longmen, Tumen and Shimen, and the city wall surrounded the city. After years of smog, pines and cypresses are evergreen. "
There are two stones on both sides of the empty dragon hall, one with the words left Kunlun and the other with the words right Kunlun. There is also a stone with the words Zhixin Rock on the left front of the platform.
