Wuyuan Cave has been a scenic spot in Badong, Hubei and even the Three Gorges for a long time.

The area around the submerged Luban Bridge and Guanyin Pavilion near the Wuyuan Cave Canyon was once an ancient post road on the south bank of the Three Gorges. It ran to Shinan in the south, connected to Yiling (Yichang) in the east, and connected to Sichuan and Chongqing in the west. Qin Shihuang's "cars share the same track, and books share the same text". Badong has been included in the Qin Dynasty. Although it is in the wilderness, it is an important military area. The post road must be built. So the ancient post road of Wuyuan Cave and Linjiang River is at least more than 2,200 years old. . Li Daoyuan, a geographer in the Northern Dynasties and the Northern Wei Dynasty, has a beautiful passage in his book "Shui Jing Zhu, Three Gorges": "In spring and winter, the plain green pool is green, reflecting the clear reflection, and there are many strange cypresses growing on the cliffs. Hanging springs and waterfalls, flying and washing in between, clear and majestic, good and interesting..." I think this is a beautiful portrayal of the scenery of Badong Wuyuan Cave. Because the area around Guanzhi Dongwuyuan Cave is still the place with the densest cypress trees on both sides of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River for nearly 400 miles, and the scenery of springs and waterfalls is consistent with this description. There are 300 Tang poems, including 54 about the Yangtze River and 15 poems about the Three Gorges. Li Bai's "The apes on both sides of the bank can't stop crying, and the boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains" is the most famous, and there are also shadows of the scenery of Wuyuan Cave. Kou Zhunzhi of the Northern Song Dynasty was appointed as Badong, and 125 poems about Badong have been preserved. Most of his forest and spring scenery were shot in the area from Wuyuan Cave to the old city of Badong. He took "Badong Calligraphy" as an example: "Homesickness lingers all day long. , I am lonely and tired of Qin Zun. The trees invade the mountain path, the cold river approaches the county gate, the waves are heavy and it is difficult to see the ridge, and the rain leaves traces on the wall. I am haggard and sad, because I miss Chu Yuan." The four sentences before and after this poem describe homesickness, drinking, playing the piano, and reading "Li Sao" and "Chu Ci" (the meaning of sad orchid and thinking about Qu Yuan), which is completely a poet's feelings; the four sentences in the middle all describe the scene: the county government is near the river, the government office is behind The forest is dense, and after the tide rises (the waves subside), the scale rock is also exposed (the beach shows the ridge), and the walls will be soaked when it rains. This is exactly the scene in the old city of Badong. It can be seen from this poem that during the Northern Song Dynasty, although Badong County was located in the north of the Yangtze River, there were county government agencies under the Jinzi Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was also in the period of "immigration and relocation". Time passes to Lu You, a patriotic poet from the Kuang Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was on his way up the river from Shaoxing, Zhejiang to Shu to go to Kuizhou (today's Fengjie). On October 21 of the lunar calendar in 1170 AD, outside the mouth of the Wu Gorge, it was covered with heavy clouds and light snow. That day, when the boat stopped at Taijitou, the poet went to the pavilion to visit the Shuangbai Hall to pay homage to Kou Gong Temple. He felt deeply and praised the scenery of Badong Jiangnan: "The Nanshan Mountains are repetitive, beautiful and lovely, and they appear one after another, and the ancient trees are dense..." (Meeting) Lu You's "Entering Shu"). Then the Wuyuan Cave, a scenic spot in the south of the Yangtze River, was first seen in writing in the Qijue "Wuyuan Cave" written by Badong Jiaoyu Huirong in the Hongzhi year of Xiaozong in the Ming Dynasty (1488 AD): "The name of the cave has no source but it has a source, a stream. It comes from Yungen. If there are some residents there, it is still better than to go out and hide in Lumen." It has been five hundred years since then. Xue Deyu, a poet from Badong in the Qing Dynasty, combined the "Eight Scenes of Badong" with a seven-rhyme poem "Wudong Fairy Spring". The narrative is even more detailed. In modern times, that is, in the late 1950s, County Magistrate Hao Zhenyuan, who presided over the construction of the Wuyuandong canal, was a native of Lin County, Henan. According to Mr. Hao Jianhui, the son of County Magistrate Hao, he told me that his father returned to his hometown in 1957 to build the Hongqi Canal in Lin County and Zhengda and excavate the Taihang Mountains. He was deeply inspired. The following year (1958), Magistrate Hao made up his mind. The canal Badong Wuyuan Cave was opened to divert water into the city, thus ending the painful history of carrying water from the Yangtze River in Badong for generations. Today, we step into Wuyuan Cave again, and the chants of digging canals are still ringing in our ears. As for the natural and cultural landscapes, we naturally think of a famous saying by Mr. Lao She (Landscape Talk): "Nature is great, but it is full of Nature, which possesses the human spirit, is the greatest of greatness."

As we talk about history, I would like to ask the Fang family for advice. Let me tell you more about the origin (i.e. legend) of the name "Wuyuan Cave".

Wuyuan Cave, also known as Wuyuan Cave in ancient times, is also known as Wuyuan Cave. According to the "Badong County Chronicle": "The Wuyuan Cave was called Wuyuan in ancient times. There is a gorge in the cave, a tunnel in the gorge, and a hole in the tunnel. It is like a maze. The hole is so deep that it is difficult to find its source...", Examination Da\"Wu" refers to the abrupt and rugged mountain peaks, and "Yuan" refers to deep water and deep pools. It means Gaiqi Mountain and different waters. The ancients used the words very accurately. According to legend, someone lit seven and a half candles and entered the cave, but the source was not found. It is called the Wuyuan Cave (a hole without a source). What do seven and a half candles mean? The ancients were too timid!

Not many people know about the "Wuyan Cave".

According to this, the old man told me that a long time ago, there was no Yin River in Wuyuan Cave. There was a family at the entrance of the cave who built a side rock house at the entrance of the cave, so it was called Wuyan Cave. One morning, the old man gathered the whole family and said: " I dreamed yesterday that an old man with a white beard and a lady told us to leave quickly, saying that there would be a flood in the cave, and the flood would be monstrous..." Both my son and daughter-in-law said they had the same dream, so the whole family packed up the pots and dishes, and just Leaving the entrance of the cave, white mist fills the air, with a roaring sound, and a Yin River rolls in. As time goes by, deep green pools are formed in the canyon... According to the common people, the old man with the white beard is the father-in-law of the land, and he is reflected in the cave. On a stalactite wall, later, the Badong people built a land temple at the foot of Jinzi Mountain. The empress was Guanyin Bodhisattva, appearing on the high stalactite peak in the cave. Later, the Badong people built the Guanyin Pavilion by the Yanjiang River in Wuyuandong Gorge.

About Wuyuan Cave, Wuyuan Cave and Wuyan Cave, three caves with the same name. There is also a homophonic word for "no fate hole", which is actually not the case. Just imagine, how many generations of lovers have left the memories of their youth in Wuyuan Cave and stayed together with their white hair; how many wandering business travelers have bathed in the Badong night rain here and sent their homesickness from afar! Think of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl peaks tens of thousands of meters above the canyon, frozen in time and space for thousands of years, embracing each other forever! In all karma, there are good karma, and all good things come together; there are bad karma, and everything goes hand in hand with evil. Wuyuan Cave has a great scenery, with strange waters and mountains, luxuriant trees, birds singing and fragrant flowers, pavilions and pavilions, and the wind and scenery are bright. Since ancient times, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have been integrated into one, and the humanities have gathered together, and the heaven and earth are bells. Nowadays, tourism is booming. Thousands of people come to North Korea, and of course they are all doing good things.
