Historical and Cultural Background of Lieshan Town
Lieshan is famous for its rich historical and cultural resources, with five major cultural resources, which are the five pillars of tourism development in Lieshan Town.

The name of a mountain.

The name of Lieshan is the sum and symbol of the historical and cultural resources of Lieshan, and it is the only unique place name resource in northern Anhui and even the whole province. First of all, the ancient book "Records of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" records that "Dayu harnessed water, and fierce mountains burned ze". In China Chinese Dictionary, it is recorded that "Shun sent Dayu to control the water, and ordered the officials in charge of the forest of fire to burn the ze of the fierce mountain" and "Ci Hai": "Fiery mountain swamps are everywhere, and wild animals are everywhere, so Shun sent yi to the fierce mountain to burn the forest and drive away the wild animals". Another kind of textual research says that after following Yao, Shun probably plowed Mount Li (another name for Lieshan is Mount Li) and fished (Leize is Weishan Lake in the northeast of Lieshan). Shun sent yi to Lieshan to burn weeds and thorns in the forest first, and then drove wild animals to Lieshan to reclaim farmland and teach people to fish, which proved the history of the origin of Lieshan place names.

China Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Place Names also records that "Lieshan, also known as Lishan, is located 70 or 80 miles east of Suixi, producing coal", which is the only place name in Huaibei.

B Yan Di county sees hometown.

There is a stone tablet in the ancient temple at the top of Lieshan Mountain, which reads: "What's the name of Lieshan Mountain? Or the mountain garden is sharper than the first one (the bottom circle is sharp), like the fire in the five elements, so it is also called the ancient Shanshi Lie (the name of Emperor Yan). This article can be interpreted as that Emperor Yan named Shanshi Lie and Mount Li (also known as Mount Li) after their place names, and it can also be interpreted as that Emperor Yan crowned Mount Lie with his own name.

"Emperor Century" contains: Emperor Yan Shennong, whose capital is Lieshan in Chen (now Huaiyang, Henan), named. "Guoyu. "Lu Yu" contains: "The name of Emperor Yan of Shanshi Lie began in Lieshan". Famous scholars all over the country have done a lot of research. About 7200 to 5800 years ago, Yan Di went deep into the lower reaches of the Yellow River (that is, the Huang-Huai-Hai area), just on the front line of the Huai-Huai River and Bengbu River. Therefore, there are sayings such as "Jingwei fills the sea", "Shahai cooks salt" and "Yan Di closes its doors to Zen", and there is also the fierce clan culture (jiyan culture) of Yan Di Shennong formed from Lieshan and Shanshi Lie.

After years of discussion and research, researchers at home and abroad believe that Lieshan Mountain conforms to the characteristics of Yan Di's hometown in terms of place names, geology and geographical conditions. There is sufficient basis for calling Yan Di's hometown from the existing ruins and legendary ancient books, which has aroused the close attention and interest of the provincial Academy of Social Sciences and relevant scholars all over the country, and its textual research has also been fully affirmed by the research and the upper level.

Coal culture

Huaibei City, as an industrial energy base of six provinces and one city in East China (1950s-1980s), was built on the edge of coal and made great contributions to the socialist economic construction! Lieshan is also famous for its coal. In the 1970s, the "society-run industry" and the "township enterprises" in the 1980s were all based on coal and rock building materials. More importantly, the revolutionary red culture derived from the "small coal kiln" in Lieshan in history has written a brilliant page for our party in the revolutionary history.

Lieshan underground coal reserves reach 800 billion tons. According to the records of Huaibei Mining Bureau, "As early as ancient times, coal was exposed on the surface. In the Tang, Yuan and three years, it was found that throwing stones was flammable. " During the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo, the magistrate of Xuzhou, went to the countryside to explore and found Lieshan coal, which was written in the Carboniferous Song Dynasty, and kiln mining began in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, more than 3,000 coal miners went on strike for more than a month. According to records, this strike is the first revolutionary struggle for survival by kiln owners in the history of coal development in China.

During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, the struggles between coal miners and kiln owners broke out one after another, which made the Qing court have a headache, so that it was always "repeatedly banned and repeatedly opened". At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China (1906), after Lieshan became the first He Zhong coal company in China, under the oppression and exploitation of the government and commercial capitalists, the workers' revolutionary struggle continued. Under the leadership of China * * * Production Party, leading workers such as Xu, Li Shizhuang, Wang Xiangpu, Zhao Wan and Liang waged unremitting struggles with kiln owners, winning again and again, and at the same time creating a "three-in-one".

D. Buddhist culture.

The ancient Lieshan Mountain is rich in Buddhist culture. The "Lienv Temple" at the top of Lieshan Mountain has the deepest origin. It is said that Yan Di's daughter helped the rain teacher Chi Songzi in Yan Di on the top of the mountain, fell off the cliff and died together. In order to commemorate Yan Di's daughter, a Lienv Temple was built on the top of the mountain (not the concept of a chaste and heroic woman, but the Yan Di Daughter Temple in Shanshi Lie), which was still there before and after liberation. It is pure stone, without bricks, and it is as big as two houses. Before the completion of Bixia Zhenjun Temple in Shen Xing Palace in Taishan, people from all directions came to Lienv Temple to worship and burn incense, and the folk neighbors knew Lienv Temple like the back of their hands (the locals didn't know what to build), and then they went to the newly-built Taishan Temple to worship the palace temple. So the first day of April was designated as the temple fair. The original temple of Lienv Temple was not built for a long time after the natural collapse, and now it only remains in people's memory.

During the Cultural Revolution, Taishan Temple was demolished. Later, for the development of the original temple in Nanhu Park, the Buddha statue was moved to the foot of the mountain, which is Nanhu Jushilin. Followed by seven or eight temples, such as Longji Mountain, Huilongguan, Qingliu Temple, Dafang Temple, Tashan and so on. These temples have their own temple fairs, such as Cai Li Temple Fair on February 2nd, Longwang Temple Fair on Longji Mountain, Yilieshan Temple Fair and Xiemating Temple Fair in early April. Every spring and summer, temple fairs are crowded and bustling, and the tax revenue of temple fairs exceeds one million yuan, which greatly prospers the local economy and enriches the folk cultural life. The scale of Buddhist temple fairs in northern Anhui is second to none. It also played a social role in improving and educating local folk customs.

E folk culture.

Lieshan has simple folk customs and etiquette exchange. Due to the cultural situation of small towns, the cultural quality of the population is relatively high, which is inseparable from the deep social and cultural roots and economic development. There are several cultural plates in the legend of Lieshan Mountain. 1. Zhang Legend and Zhang Legend have a complete system and legendary places of interest, such as Shengsentai and Xianren Cave, which have been handed down from generation to generation. Zhang's hometown is Tanshan, and the cemetery is behind Wangzhuang, with tombstone records (Suzhou records). Teenagers become monks in Phnom Penh, practice in Dafang Temple, become immortals by riding donkeys in Longji Mountain, and there is a folk song "Three Mountains".

Second, the legend of Yan Di's hometown is a household name in Lieshan. In the past, when the children were at school, they told their teachers about Yan Di's hometown, which was the talk of Guapeng Li after dinner. They said that the two brothers lived in Kuangwa Village in Lieshan, and the word "Kuangwa" meant two brothers. Yan Di lives in Lieshan Mountain, which is called Shanshi Lie, because the mountain splits into flames, and the earliest Lieshan sophistry is based on the foot of the mountain. The turkey seed (that is, Gurao Town) was the first market opened by Emperor Yan in that year, and things were bartered. Later, shells were used as coins to promote market trade. Yandi fire inflammation, fire Jizi name biography. Of course, legends can only be used as a reference and not as a basis for textual research, but the legends of a place always have her historical traces.

Secondly, according to the legend of Cai Shun, the twenty-fourth filial piety, Cai Shun's mother went hungry in the famine year, didn't eat for several days because of illness, and there was nothing to eat at home. Cai Shun went to Longji Mountain to pick wild fruits, that is, mulberries. When they were ripe, they were left to her mother and half for herself. The Red Eyebrow Army rebelled in front of the mountain, and found Cai Shun challenging Shen. Because he was an official spy, he was very moved when he learned the truth. He gave Cai Shun half a bag of food. From then on, Cai Shun picked Shen Xiao's mother and became a much-told story in rural neighborhoods. Later generations renamed Cai Shun's village Cai Li and erected a monument to commemorate it. At the same time, Chen Sheng's tomb, Ning Feng's pottery can burn five-color fire, Ningqifan cattle, etc. (also recorded in local chronicles) also appeared.

Folk customs and stories are also tourism cultural resources, which are good resources.
