The shape of Shuangta Mountain in Hebei is also very special. It's a strange mountain, big and small. Besides, this mountain is so strange that it is difficult for even climbers to climb it. Why are there two ancient pagodas on the top of the mountain? How did such a strange shape come from?
Qishan Shuangta Mountain
Shuangta Mountain is located in chengde mountain resort, with a total area of 3,000 hectares. It can be said to be the largest natural scenic spot in Chengde. As one of the famous mountains in Chengde, Shuangta Mountain has beautiful scenery. There are stone horses, stone benches and other attractions at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, it is a rare tourist area with rugged mountains and numerous strange rocks. Shuangta Mountain can be described as Shan Qi, water wonder and stone wonder. Because of the ingenuity of nature, such a strange natural scenery has been created.
Because natural scenery has created such a beautiful and peculiar scenery, many people are full of love for it. Beautiful scenery, gurgling streams, birds and flowers in the scenic area. Emperors such as Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the temple many times, leaving many excellent works.
Shuangta Mountain is not so much two mountains as two huge stone pillars. They are standing in the forest, from south to north. On the opposite side, from a distance, like a pair of twin brothers, they depend on each other.
And the growth of mountain peaks is also unique. It is extremely steep, wide at the top and sharp at the bottom, just like two pagodas. So from a distance, it seems top-heavy. Everyone has this illusion.
steep mountain
The height of the Twin Towers is extremely high, with the north peak as high as 35 meters, and the diameter can reach as much as 15 meters, with a circumference of 74 meters. Nanfeng is 30 meters high and 8 meters in diameter. The circumference is 34 meters.
It is also the case that these two peaks stand steeply among the mountains, thus forming a strange and extremely steep appearance. Let countless climbers look and sigh, but they can only shake their heads and dare not try easily.
The stones on the twin towers stand tall and unattainable, and no one can get close to them. This upright angle is almost vertical and right-angled. If you climb, there is no place to rely on and fix it. Many climbers can't climb it.
However, the uniqueness of the Twin Towers lies not only in these two strange peaks, but also in the facilities above. Even a rock climber can't climb it. How can such a mountain have certain building facilities on it?
Shuangta Peak Ancient Pagoda
The Twin Towers have existed since ancient times. Since ancient times, the strange shape of the Twin Towers has attracted many people's attention and love. There are also many literati who have left amazing poems here. But people love and pay attention to more than the shape of the Twin Towers. There are other reasons why Shuangta Peak has become one of the most famous scenic spots in Chengde.
When it comes to the fact that the Twin Towers can become such a world-famous scenic spot, we have to mention the buildings on the mountain. On these two towering peaks, two striking ancient pagodas stand. These two ancient pagodas were built on two hilltops.
Although the two ancient pagodas have long lost their brilliance and beauty because of the age and time. The dilapidated ancient pagoda shows the story and vicissitudes behind it from the side.
The ancient pagoda at the top of the mountain in the north is about 2 meters high and conical. The ancient pagoda at the top of the mountain in the south faces south and is relatively complete. The height can reach more than 5 meters and the width is 2 meters.
Many tourists who like to observe and explore observe with binoculars that the lower part of this ancient pagoda can vaguely see the tower door about 2 meters high. Both towers are made of blue bricks. There are square trees at the four corners of the pagoda, and wind chimes are hung on the corners.
The east, west and south sides of the ancient pagoda are all pressed by blue bricks, while the north side is jointed. These two ancient pagodas have been preserved since ancient times, which is really rare. Even after the Tangshan earthquake, the brick tower of the ancient pagoda did not collapse, but the cracks existing in it were closely spliced together.
So how did these two ancient pagodas form on such a towering and steep mountain peak? Who did it and how?
The secret of the ancient pagoda
According to the related ancient book "Chaogang Rehe Zhi", we know that there are related records and descriptions about them. Shuangta Mountain is located 8 miles north of Luanping County. Eight miles northeast of Tunxing Palace in Kara River, there are two peaks, one large and one small, which are more than 0/00 feet high/kloc. For example, if you block a slope, you can see that a peak has three holes, which are bright inside and outside.
There are also other books that describe the Twin Towers to some extent. "Chengde County Records" records that "the top of the Twin Towers can be one mu wide, and there is an ancient temple on the top of the East Tower. I don't know who built it, but there is a small monument next to the sloping mound with the words Wang Cui on it. "
There are countless ancient poems about the description of the Twin Towers, but there are no relevant words to support and prove who built the Twin Towers and how.
However, through the unremitting efforts of cultural relics researchers and various investigations and studies, some evidences and secrets about the Twin Towers were finally found in some clues.
On the occasion of 1966, curator chengde mountain resort museum collected a stone Buddha on the twin towers. This Buddha statue is recorded in detail in Ji Xiaolan's Notes on Yuewei Caotang, and the origin of its Buddha statue.
It turned out that one night in Qianlong forty-seven years, heavy rain poured down, accompanied by lightning and thunder. At this time, a stone Buddha statue fell from the twin towers. This statue was found by Zhen Wu, the abbot of Guandi Temple not far from here, and it is collected and dedicated to the temple every day.
According to the characteristics of the Buddha statue, it can be inferred that it was made in the early Liao Dynasty, from which it can be inferred that the two ancient pagodas were built in the Liao Dynasty. The ancient pagoda built was a tomb pagoda, because people at that time were mountains and mountains. People think that mountains are sacred mountains, and people should return to them after death. So even willing to waste people's money to build a tomb tower on such a high mountain peak.
Many people think that the Twin Towers used to be a sea in the Wang Yang, but after the application of the earth's crust, they became a high mountain. It is also said that the Twin Towers were originally a stone wall, and the strong earthquake activity caused the stone wall to collapse, leaving only the current Twin Towers.
But no matter what it is, there is no strong evidence to prove its authenticity. But such a huge project must have been done by the former royal family. Then the more detailed reasons and the story behind them will be answered later.
The creator of nature, like a magician with super powers, leads us to a more wonderful world. The charm of nature is self-evident, because of the catalysis of nature, everything becomes mysterious and charming.
