in the 1987 edition of the annals of Gao' an county, 24 famous mountains in Gao' an were collected with an altitude of more than 1 meters and less than 5 meters, among which 3 were called mountains and 2 were called mountains. Among these 2 "Ridges", the highest is Liuquan Ridge in Wuqiao Town (456 meters above sea level), and the lowest is Paoling in Xiangcheng Town (11 meters above sea level). In contrast, Qinling Mountain is 152 meters above sea level, which is far less than Liuquan Mountain, but it is 51 meters higher than Paoling Mountain. However, "Toponymic Records" recorded Paoling, but did not include Qinling. The reason is unknown.
Qinling Mountain, though not among the 24 famous mountains in Gao 'an, has not been forgotten in the Toponymic Records of Gao 'an County as a general mountain in the local area. And interestingly, in the annals of place names in Gao 'an County, Qinling is still one ridge to two places, and Huangshagang and Heling both put Qinling under their own names, and each has a similar introduction to Qinling. For example, the introduction of Huangshagang Town is: "Qinling is located 1.5 kilometers east of Huangshaxu. The main peak is 152 meters above sea level and covers an area of 1 square kilometer. It is limestone mountain, which is one of the main lime producing areas in our county. The sound of playing stones on the mountain is like the sound of guqin, and it is famous as Qinling. "
The introduction of Heling Town is: "Qinling is located 6 kilometers southwest of Santanggang. The main peak is 152 meters above sea level and covers an area of 1 square kilometer, all of which are limestone. The lime produced is exported to Nanchang, Fengxin and other places. Legend has it that this place used to be an ancient lake. Emperor Qing Qianlong visited the south of the Yangtze River and was shocked to see a lion sitting on the ridge. He scolded,' Dead thing, lime burner!' Sure enough, the lion turned into a stone mountain. This mountain is named' Hangling' because Qianlong Emperor Road traveled here. Later people hit stones with hammers in this mountain, making a sound like playing the piano, so it is also called' Qinling'. "
Both places put Qinling under their own names, and perhaps they value the limestone resources of Qinling. That's true. In fact, there are lime factories in both places. But judging from the historical evolution, Qinling is indeed shared by both places. Of course, judging from the location of Qinling, at present, Qinling is owned by Heling Town, and Huangshagang Town has no shares. Because Qinling is not only located in Heling Town, but also has an exclusive Qinling Village Committee in Heling Town. The site of Huangshagang only goes to the foot of the mountain west of Qinling. There is no other place called Qinling in China.
But from the historical evolution, Huangshagang Town owned Qinling earlier. Because Huangshagang Town occupied Qinling both before and after liberation. Even in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Qinling was under the jurisdiction of the fifth capital in Huangshagang. And Heling Town is a Xinxiang Town which was established in 1979 by three towns, Lanfang, Huangsha and Ducheng, allocating land and villages. It was in 1979 that Qinling was allocated from Huangshagang Township.
Therefore, before 1979, Qinling belonged to Huangshagang Town, and the lime factory at the foot of Qinling was also the earliest and most famous in Huangsha Commune. It is said that the lime here was well-known during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty (713-742). Of course, before liberation, it was just a small-scale production of individual households, and it was only in 1951 that large-scale production was really formed. At that time, it was a lime factory run by Tietuan Village in Huangsha Township, and it was officially changed to Huangshagang Township in 1954. After the reform and opening up, towns, collectives and individuals started lime factories at the foot of Qinling. By 1985, there were more than 6 lime kilns around Qinling. Needless to say, the lime factory in Heling Town has only existed since 1979.
as for qinling, the ten-year edition of gaoan county annals (1871) of Tongzhi in Qing dynasty also recorded: "qinling governs the south for twenty miles, and there is a fairy well on it, but it will not dry up in a great drought. It is said that two immortals of King Ding hid the piano here. For Zhuhu Longzu. " "Governing the South" here refers to the south of Gao 'an County. The so-called "governance" means "government". Because Gao 'an City is the seat of the county government, it is called governing land. As for "Ding Wang Er Xian", it refers to two Taoist immortals in ancient Gao 'an.
In ancient Gao 'an, especially in Jin Dynasty, Taoism prevailed and immortals came forth in large numbers. Immortals are the names of Taoist priests who are very accomplished in ancient Taoist practice. Just as people who are rather advanced in a certain technology are called "masters" now, people who are superb in Taoism were called "great gods", "great immortals" or "immortals" in ancient times. "Ding" is Ding Kui, the son of Ding Yi, a Taoist priest in Hualin. Ding Kuiben was a magistrate of Hubei Public Security County. Because he likes to live in seclusion and enjoy playing the piano, he simply resigned and went home to learn the Tao with his father.
Maybe his father passed away, and Ding Kui turned to his father's student, Ren Huang. Ren Huang Lan is a famous immortal of Xiangfuguan and the son-in-law of Xu Zhenjun (Xu Xun), the immortal of Wanshou Palace in Xishan, Nanchang. Xu Daxian once taught Jiu Zhuan Dan Shu in Ren Huang, and Ren Huang Lan gave it to Ding Kui. After finishing his studies, Ding Kui came to Qinling Taiji View on the other side of Xiangfuguan to practice. Instead of playing the piano for fun, I hid my beloved piano in a cave. Carefully cultivate during the day and light an alchemist at night. Because of the bright fire in front of the rock, you can see it for miles away. So some curious people secretly approached to watch, and it turned out that Ding Kui was making an alchemy with white stone (limestone).
Ding Kui was accompanied by Wang Daxian who came from afar. Wang Daxian, whose real name is Wang Ziqiao, is Ji Jin. It is said that he was reincarnated as the Prince of Zhou Lingwang, and one day he visited the mountain and met the immortal Fuqiu Gong, who was taken as an immortal. So I traveled around, looking for famous mountains and making friends with celebrities. When he came to He Ling in Gao 'an on a white elephant, he found Ding Kui who was making an alchemy, so he pressed Yuntou, settled in Qinling, and became a partner with Ding Kuijie to cultivate an alchemy together. Erxian also helped Xu Xian round up the evil dragon, and once hit the evil dragon with marbles.
I don't know when, Erxian is far away. Up and down the Lotus Mountain and around the Qinling Mountains, some remains of the two immortals were left for future generations to interpret the legend. For example, people named a pool and a stone in front of Tai Chi Temple as the "Medicine Washing Pool" and "Sword Grinding Stone" of Ding Wang Erxian. Because the mountain of Tibetan Qin in Ding Kui Cave happens to look like a giant Qin across the fields, it is named "Qin Mountain" or "Qin Ling". A pictographic boulder on the lotus ridge is named "elephant to stone" as a white elephant where Wang Daxian sits; The big lake in front of Zhuhu Village was named as "Zhuhu Lake" because it was hit by Ding Wang Erxian's marbles. A hill near Qinling is named "Wangzhuling" as the mountain where Ding Wang Erxian looked at the marbles, and so on.
In this way, Qinling, like Hualin Mountain, should be selected as a famous Taoist mountain in Gao 'an. Although it is not as great as Heling Mountain, which is close at hand, it has the smell of immortals, and there are signs of immortals. However, it has no place in the famous mountains of Gao 'an. Even if its name can be found in Gao 'an Topography, its name is neither its height nor its culture, but its lime name.
According to the local old people, when you looked up at Qinling, your hat would fall off. Now, on the contrary, people can't look up at the top, but look down at the bottom. Because Qinling, which used to be more than 1 meters high on the ground, has become a pit as deep as tens of meters. In 211, with the financial support of the central government, Qinling Deep Pit was transformed into a small-2 reservoir. Strangely, however, the reservoir that was originally excavated from Qinling Mountain was not named "Qinling Reservoir", but was named "Tietuan Reservoir" after the name of a village opposite it.
Why didn't a famous historical mountain even leave a name after people hollowed out the mountain and turned it into a mountain pond? The author thinks about it, guessing that it may be to let people remember that Qinling was hollowed out by the iron group? Because the earliest lime factory in Huangshagang is Tietuan Village at the foot of Qinling. The name of the village "Tietuan" was also named because people used a lot of steel when they dug the stone of Qinling to burn lime, so blacksmiths gathered here to open the furnace and strike the iron.
This can't help sighing. With the disappearance of the mountain and the name of the mountain, the legends attached to it, such as Emperor Qianlong, the Second Immortal of King Ding, Tai Chi concept, medicine washing pool, sharpening sword stone, and Tibetan piano cave, will also disappear.
