1. Historical value: According to historical records, over 2,000 years ago, for a long period of time since the Han Dynasty, the imperial courts of all dynasties attached great importance to the development of Fengjiang (now known as Hejiang), because it was one of the main channels for China to open to the outside world and conduct international trade activities at that time. In the past, some scholars called it "Han-Qin Ancient Road" or "Xiaohe Ancient Road". In recent years, Guangdong historical and cultural experts have made new discoveries in the study of ancient roads. They believe that the ancient Silk Road in China is likely to be a land and sea transportation network; The "Han-Qin Ancient Road" is one of the main connecting channels for sea-land combined transport. Cultural relics experts found signs of handover in Hezhou. Scholars in our city generally agree with Guangdong experts, calling this road "Hezhou Ancient Road" (abbreviated as "Hezhou Ancient Road"). Furthermore, it is pointed out that the first intersection of the ancient Silk Road in China is the Hezhou Ancient Road. Archaeological findings show that a series of handover service systems of Hezhou Ancient Road have made great contributions to the first land-sea combined transport of the ancient Silk Road in China. The opening of Hezhou Ancient Road has brought about the blending of Central Plains culture and Baiyue culture, Yellow River culture and Pearl River culture, and marine culture in Hezhou. At present, experts from Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces are working together to build a Lingnan cultural circle, and the ancient road culture is expected to successfully declare the world cultural heritage. The opening of Hezhou ancient road has also brought prosperity to Fengzhong area, and "Shilin culture" is a powerful proof. "Shilin culture" is the result of the blending of north and south cultures brought about by the opening of the ancient road. The anecdotes of stone forest celebrities are not only valuable cultural wealth, but also rare historical testimony. It witnessed the formation and development of Hezhou ancient road culture, and also witnessed the glory and glory of Hezhou history and culture as the cradle of Lingnan culture. Second, scientific research value: Hezhou Stone Forest is unique with white inside and black outside. According to experts' research, it is the thermal action of Mesozoic Devonian carbonate intrusion into Guposhan rock mass that led to the formation of coarse-grained marble as white as jade here. The exposed stone pillars have been infected with black due to the long-term drying and weathering of bryophytes attached to the surface, which is the material basis and characteristics of the development of Hezhou Stone Forest. Professor Chen Zhaomian of the Development Research Center of China Geological Survey is euphemistically called "Jade Stone Forest". In addition, there are many geological elements in Shilin, such as iron hat, tin ore, iron ore, mineralization time pulse, intrusive contact zone and so on, which have great scientific research value. Third, cultural value: Hezhou Stone Forest is like a "cultural salon" that spans time and space. Shiqing has a rich collection of humanities, and many historical and cultural celebrities have left traces here. Famous sayings, anecdotes, local Hakka folk songs and folk art reflect each other, forming a rich, splendid and unique Shilin culture. Shilin culture is the framework and essence of Hezhou ancient road culture. Fourth, ideological value: the cultural landscape of Hezhou Shilin embodies the high realm pursued by the ancient people in Hezhou. Understanding these stones is like opening a window of wisdom that has been dusty for a long time. Through this window, we can correctly understand and reasonably inherit our ancestors' world outlook, outlook on life and physical outlook, and enjoy this priceless treasure. 5. Artistic value: Hezhou Stone Forest has extremely high aesthetic appreciation value. The natural shape of its stone peak is like jade, and its posture is spiritual; The freely assembled stone clusters are transformed into exquisite works of art from different angles, such as murals and reliefs, such as exquisite sketches and huge scrolls; Banyan tree, the trunk is the same color as the stone wall, connected with the stone body, like a flying crane, shaped like Wolong. The folk song art in Shilin cultural landscape is better. Chen Xiucai has four flavors in a song, and his witticism is even more striking. He can see things and express his feelings through them. Can skillfully use words and homophones to change meaning; Customizable, flexible and ingenious; Can be refined and popular, popular and easy to understand. Visiting the Stone Forest can make people feel happy, clear-headed, and produce a wonderful harmony in their hearts.

The cultural connotation of Hezhou Stone Forest is extremely profound, which is highly praised by experts and scholars. They think: (1) is the most precious natural and cultural heritage created by nature and history and given to the people of Hezhou and all mankind. (2) It is one of the most brilliant chapters in Hezhou ancient road culture of China ancient Silk Road, in which Lingnan is an inter-provincial sea passage; (3) It is the most active cultural salon in the process of blending Central Plains culture with Baiyue culture, Yellow River culture with Pearl River culture and marine culture; (4) It is the most precious historical library to witness Hezhou ancient culture as the cradle of Lingnan culture (Pearl River culture). Ok, let's walk into the scenic spot and slowly taste the priceless treasures left by our ancestors. Now we have entered the legendary "Three Peaks of Shilin Park".

The mountain in front of us is the first peak in the "Three Rock Peaks" and is called "Three Xiufeng". It looks like a camel and a pen. It has three prominent peaks, and the green radish grows in a net shape on the top of the mountain. Simple and natural, very wonderful. The bottom of the peak is engraved with the word "this stone", which is said to have been written by Chen Yuanguang, a scholar of Fushan in Tang Dynasty. Chen Xiucai is famous for singing folk songs in Fushan. At that time, there were two great singers in Lingnan, Liu Sanjie was a female singer and Chen Xiucai was a male singer. It is said that the male singer Shen Xian visited and the stone men and women in Shilin came to listen to singing folk songs. Hezhou people can speak many languages and sing songs wherever they go. When Chen Xiucai came to Shilin, it was natural for him to sing Hakka folk songs. He skillfully wrote the word "this stone", which made him feel incredible. Second, take this as the topic and sing folk songs. It means that "this stone" matches to become a village (village), with "stone" as the guide and "village" as the song. It is a metaphor for singing "Shizhai" (real) songs. So he firmly grasped the word "stone pier" and used the topic to sing loudly: "Stone forest is full of stone piers, stone piers sing stone piers, brother and a-mei walk stone piers, stone street stone houses carve geese." Hakka folk songs are humorous, the singers often make puns, and the listeners can also hear the implication. Before Chen Xiucai finished singing, there was a burst of applause, and everyone was very happy. Facing them, Chen Xiucai sang: "There are many stone people in Shilin, and people really know how to sing. My brother said that A-mei is very real, like a hairpin, like jade. " Therefore, the nearby stones are in high spirits and people are singing and dancing. Pairs of lovers hugged each other tightly and showed sweet and happy smiles. But the rocks in the distance can't be heard clearly. What shall we do? Chen Xiucai took Wu Xiucai, who is tall and dark, and Bai Xiucai, who is short and clean, to visit the Stone Forest, and asked Wu Xiucai and Bai Xiucai to help sing in the distance. Wu Xiucai's rhyme "Zhai" means "Zhai". He jokingly said: This stone is good for Zhai, and he sang "Zhai Ge". So he sang: "Stone forest stone people eat more, diners sing fast songs, brothers and sisters eat fast, eat porridge fast, and eat vegetables in the morning?" "The more you listen to the stones here, the worse they taste. Your face sank and you looked unhappy, so your face turned black. Bai Xiucai, on the other hand, linked "food" with "food" and joked that this stone was delicious, while Chen Xiucai sang "food song". So he sang like this: "Shilin stone people eat more vegetables, and those who eat vegetables sing." Brother and A-mei eat vegetables, and chickens eat meat and roast goose. "The more you listen to the stones below, the happier you will be. The more you listen to it, the more funny it becomes. Laughing so hard that you can't keep your back straight, lying on the ground and rolling around makes you white, fat and round. The beauty of folk songs lies in channeling. Can see things, borrow things to express their feelings, can be customized, flexible and ingenious, can be refined and popular, easy to understand. If you can taste the "Three Xiufeng", you can say that you have been to the Stone Forest. Please have a look at glad you came. The huge bluestone in front of you is like a rhinoceros looking at the moon, waiting for you with its sharp horns. Looking at it from another angle, it's like "A-mei Farewell Lang", holding up a delicate jade hand to attract the wind and send the heart. Since singer Chen Xiucai came here to preach folk songs, all the stones here have been endowed with spirituality, and everyone has learned to sing folk songs. Shi Xiaomei sent Shi Dage out and sang "My Lover Brother". Listen: (singing) "Yangmei flowers all the way. Brother goes home early. When drinking tea on the way, you should wash the dishes first. Don't eat the dregs from other people's mouths. Yang Meihua all the way, brother, go home early, don't mess with weeds on the road, and there are peony flowers waiting for you at home. " Shi Xiaomei hoped that Shi Dage was single-minded about love, "Don't bite others", and hoped that he would go and come back early, and don't forget that "there are peony flowers waiting for you at home". But brother Shi has gone abroad and hasn't come back yet. Shi Xiaomei sings love songs here every day. When she was in love with Shi Dage, she became a "young jade girl" kissing in the forest. Shi Xiaomei looks forward to her lover here every day. Over time, she becomes a sincere "rhinoceros looking at the moon".

There is also a "Yue Bai Platform" high in the Stone Forest. In Taichung, there are a pair of stone men, who are like mother and daughter. They are descendants of family stone. Every year when the moon rises on the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, stone men will miss their ancestors and sing homesick moonlight. The song travels far and far, and Hakka people all over the world can hear it: (singing) "On August 15th, grandma and I went to Yue Bai together. She asked me, where is our hometown? The moonlight shines, please tell me, where is my hometown? In the light of August 15th, my grandmother and I went to Yue Bai together. She told me that Hezhou is our hometown. Moonlight is everywhere, and grandma says I know Hezhou is my hometown. " If you are interested in listening to the original version of Moonlight, I will wait for you here when the moon rises on August 15, okay? Look, this is the core scenic spot in Shilin Park, "the first view of heaven". At first sight, everyone is a fairy. The stone walls on both sides of the body will go higher and higher, and the mountain road at the foot will go straighter and straighter. Walking, the sky above suddenly turned into a line, and the end of the day was connected with the stone ladder at the foot and became a ladder. Tired of walking, stop and look up, there will be a sense of sacredness, as if it is close to heaven. When you feel sleepy and weak, there will be a clear folk song between the stone walls. It is the fairy in song for you. Ok, now please climb up the stone stairs to the sky. Interested friends can count the steps of the stone stairs to see how many steps are needed to climb the sky.

(Singing) "The mountain is full of sharp stones, and sharp stones have roots. There are nine twists and turns in Shi Gen's flowing water, and ninety-nine turns into heaven. The mountain is covered with a bluestone wall, and the bluestone wall is heart to heart. Shi Xin returned to his dream for nine years and died in nine years. Brother mountaineering, please take a sip of spring water first, so that you can hit the road. A stone road leads to the sky. " Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, there are so many interesting stones in Shilin that you can't enjoy them all in a day or two. The cultural connotation in Shilin is too deep to be understood overnight. After a short trip, we are going to break up again. Although the time is short and the feelings are deep, the strange stone leaves the mark of a distinguished guest. Shilin people will always remember you. Shilin people wish you all the best and all your wishes come true! Finally, I will sing a deep-felt Shilin folk song for you. I hope you like it:
