White deer is famous for its appearance. According to Du Guozhi of the later Han Dynasty, "there is White Deer Plain in the west of Xinfeng County and White Deer in Zhou Pingwang". The Notes on Shui Jing and The Jade Ring of Taiping also have the name "When Wang Ping moved, there was a white deer tour in this tableland, hence the name."
At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Xigourong tribe posed a serious threat to the capital city of Haojing in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which had begun to decline. After Zhou Youwang was killed by a dog, the newly enthroned Zhou Pingwang was in danger because of pickaxe in Beijing, so he decided to build another capital. A few days later, King Ping led Fu Ying and other ministers in charge of astrology, and surrounded by the guards of the brigade, waded eastward, crossed the turbulent Zishui River, boarded Pingzhan, and made a desolate place.
The original is surrounded by water on three sides and Nanshan on one side; From the original to the northwest, you can have a bird's-eye view of the vast Weihe Plain, with Zhong Nanshan in the southeast, and the military geographical position is extremely favorable. In the past, King Ping went hunting in the original place with King Wang You. The purpose of going to the original site this time is to walk around the original site last week and decide whether to build the capital on the original site. Zhou Pingwang and his gang walked from the original west to the east, and they walked all the way to the original east. At this time, it was getting late, so I chose a temple with lush cypress and fragrant flowers on the small shore, set up a palace, and camped in teams.
At dawn in Rosty Yi, Wang Ping was suddenly awakened by the screams outside. He went out to see the gate of the temple. Between the mountains in the southeast, a cloud of auspicious light and aura surrounds a snow-white thing, Ran Ran! Chashi clearly saw that the center of the purple gas from the east was a white deer with no hair except a pair of sparkling red agate eyes. There is a ganoderma lucidum in Bailu's mouth, and its hooves are floating in the wind, coming and going suddenly.
This white deer was sent by providence to eliminate disasters and spread happiness. Just then, White Deer suddenly saw Zhou Wang's guards. They were waving flags and shouting thunder for hunting, and they were taken aback. Ganoderma lucidum in his mouth fell to Xiaoliuxiang, and the white deer turned randomly and galloped away to the southwest. Wang Ping and his father have been hunting together for many years. He has never seen or heard of such a strange deer. He immediately ordered the guards to ride quickly and catch up with the white deer. When chasing a gully slope, Bailu saw that he was going to Nanyuanpo, and suddenly turned around and headed northwest.
There is a lonely little temple with no villages around it; White deer walked around the temple, saw the cavalry catch up, continued to run for more than ten miles, and came to a sparse village. There is a Loi Wo Temple near the village, and two cypresses embrace each other not far away. White deer is convenient for taking a nap in the grass under the double cypresses. As soon as I dozed off, Ping Wang's guards swarmed in.
The white deer was frightened, broke into the village and lost its way at once. So he turned south again, went down the original slope from Xiyuan, entered the reeds in Gu Dao of Chanhe River, and suddenly disappeared without a trace. People are surprised to find that the places where the white deer pass and the auspicious light shines are all lush, full of flowers, poisonous insects are out, epidemics are extinct, six animals are prosperous, and people live long. In order to commemorate this white deer that brought good luck and recreation, people named it Bailuyuan from now on.
The ditch where White Deer passes to the southeast is called Lugougou, the village without a detour (now wucun Temple) is called Zou Lu Village and Zou Lu Town, the village where White Deer lost his nap is called Elk Village, the original slope where White Deer lost his way is called Ludaopo, and the village where White Deer finally entered Zen River from Xiyuan is called Shenlufang. Since then, Bailu Temple, Bailu Temple, Bailu Temple and Bailu Temple, which are dedicated to the deity deer, have been established one after another.
Bailu came out of Nanshan and set foot on Bailuyuan for the first time, which is Hansi Village in Jin 'an Village. In ancient times, Bailu Temple was built here, and there were also Bailu Temple in nearby villages. In the valley where the white deer lost Ganoderma lucidum, Ganoderma lucidum still grows in the ditch south of Juxianfang Village in Jin 'an Village. Bailuyuan was called Wanshou Mountain in ancient times. Since the appearance of Bailuyuan, Yuan Shang has become a granary. Even in the face of drought, as long as the seedlings can grow, there will always be some gains. Therefore, Bailuyuan has since become a folk proverb: "Bailuyuan, Changshou Mountain, see the seedlings reap half."
Extended data:
Reasons for the geographical formation of Bailuyuan
Bailuyuan is a stepped or terraced loess plateau, which was covered by aeolian loess and formed by modern geological vertical fault movement and river cutting on the basis of middle Pleistocene river impact terrace. In a broad sense, it still belongs to the Weihe plain. This is a characteristic landform in the eastern suburb of Xi. In order to distinguish it from river impact terrace, it is commonly known as "Loess Plateau". The east starting point of Bailuyuan is connected with Lushan Mountain, with Qinling Mountains in the south, Chanhe River in the west and Chanhe River in the north.
Formation of the original surface
The rise of Bailuyuan is closely related to the appearance of Jinyugou and Chanba. When Bailuyuan is about to be formed, due to the tens of millions of years of precipitation runoff in Bailuyuan in low-lying areas, the confluence invades the muddy land and flows along the original slope. Some original slopes still have small gullies of different sizes, and some small gullies will gradually extend and deepen into the original surface under the intrusion of continuous running water. Jingyugou is a big gully formed under the attack of flowing water on the slope.
The early Jingyugou was short and small. Due to the continuous collection of flowing water, it erodes the lower part and both sides of the young ditch, and at the same time, the ditch head extends inward for erosion (called traceability erosion). Day after day, year after year, the gully deepened, widened and elongated, and finally formed a length of 30 kilometers, with the upstream undercut depth of 80- 100 meters and the downstream (gully mouth) gradually increased. In the middle of the plain, a deep V-shaped valley-Jingyugou developed along the direction of Bailuyuan.
There are many reservoirs and waterfalls at the bottom of the ditch, and the maximum drop is about 10 meter. Jingyugou is located in Jiangshuaige Pagoda (Jingshan), 8 kilometers south of Lantian County. The terrain around the source is open and U-shaped, and many springs are exposed, which is the birthplace of water mirrors. There is running water in this ditch all year round. The confluence of two tributaries in the upper reaches is called "Lugougou", hereinafter referred to as Jingyugou. Jingyugou joins the Chanhe River near Gao Qiao Village of Hongqi Street Office, becoming the largest tributary on the east bank of Chanhe River.
Formation of rivers
Bailuyuan is located between Chanhe and Jiaodai Town in Lantian County. It is connected with Lushan Mountain at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains in the east and Zhaizhai, Hongqi, Wang Xi, Zhai Wei, Paoli and Du Ming in Baqiao District in the west. The south and west are adjacent to the Chan River and the north is adjacent to the Bahe River, which is the southeast barrier of the ancient city of Chang 'an. Because it lives on the Bashui River, it has been called Bashang since the Han Dynasty. Bailuyuan once belonged to Zhiyang, Baling, Nanling, Bacheng, Bailu, Ning Min, Baqiao, Chang 'an and Lantian in history.
According to Lu Yong, "White Deer was originally at the foot of Nanshan Mountain", which leans to the northwest and reaches Hongqi, Textile City and Wang Xi. It is more than 30 kilometers long from east to west, about 10 kilometers wide from north to south, and the original altitude is 600-776.5 meters. The highest elevation of Jingshan Mountain 1000 meters. High in the southeast and low in the northwest. North of Anchun in the northeast is 240-320m higher than the Chanhe River, and Baqiao area in the southwest is 0/50-200m higher than the Chanhe River.
Due to the great difference between the original surface and the valley, the original slope is steep, and the influence of neotectonic movement, the old and new landslides on the original edge are well developed, and the original slope is a serious geological disaster zone. Due to the continuous erosion of Chanba water system, a cascade river is formed, the lower part of which is composed of tertiary ice water accumulation layer, the middle part is mixed with a layer of three-toed red soil, and the upper part is covered with quaternary loess with the thickness of100-150m.
