1, Yuelu Academy
Yuelu Academy is located at the foot of Yuelu Mountain on the west bank of Xiangjiang River in Changsha, Hunan, a famous historical and cultural city in China.
Yuelu Academy was founded in the ninth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (976), and it is known as the four ancient Chinese academies together with Bailudong Academy (Jiujiang, Jiangxi), Songyang Academy (Dengfeng, Henan) and Suiyang Academy (Shangqiu, Henan). After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, 1926 was named Hunan University. From the ancient academy to Hunan University, string songs are endless. Today, it has become the only institution in China that trains doctoral and master students, and is known as the "Millennium Institution". It is also the most complete, largest and best restored ancient academy in China.
The layout of the ancient buildings of Yuelu Academy adopts the courtyard form with symmetrical central axis, which has a deeper sense. The main buildings are the main entrance, the main entrance, the second entrance, the lecture hall and the Imperial Book Building. These buildings are located on the central axis, and the lecture hall is located in the center of the central axis, which is also the center of the whole academy. On both sides of the central axis are mainly special ancestral temples, which are used for sacrifice and sacrifice. This layout reflects the social and ethical relations in China's Confucian ideology and culture, which is characterized by orderly respect and inferiority, different grades and clear priorities. Most of the existing buildings are relics of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main buildings are lecture hall, imperial library and Confucian temple, which embodies the three functions of the academy: giving lectures, collecting books and offering sacrifices.
2. Qingfeng gorge
Qingfeng Gorge is the core scenic spot of Yuelu Mountain. From Qingfeng Gorge to the top of the mountain, there are a large number of primitive secondary forests with 977 species of plants, including 555 species of wild seed plants and exotic flowers and grasses, which can be seen everywhere. According to expert statistics, there are many ancient and famous trees in the mountains, and rare and endangered species include Gleditsia sinensis and Ginkgo biloba. On the whole Yuelu Mountain, the oldest tree is a Podocarpus located in Gulou Mountain Temple, which has a history of 1700 years. Secondly, the ancient ginkgo beside Yunlu Palace has a history of 1000 years. The third place is the yuan dynasty camphor tree at the main entrance of the ancient Lushan temple, which has a history of about 700 years. In addition, there are many maple trees in Ming and Qing dynasties around the pavilion. The most cultural features are the ancient mulberry trees and ancient locust trees in Yuelu Academy. Because the ancients called the place where they studied "the land of mulberry trees", these two kinds of trees covered the courtyard and formed a unique plant culture. According to statistics, one-fifth of the oxygen supply in Changsha comes from the vegetation of Yuelu Mountain, which can really be called natural oxygen!
3. Love Night Pavilion
Aiwan Pavilion was built in the 57th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, namely 1792. Its founder was Luo Dian, then president of Yuelu Academy, a great scholar and educator. In the past, Qingfeng Gorge was covered with maple trees, so the pavilion in Luodian was called "Hongye Pavilion", also known as "Aifeng Pavilion". Later, Bi Yuan, governor of Huguang, thought that the scenery here was very suitable for the poem "Mountain Walking" by Du Mu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, so he changed his name to "Love Night Pavilion". In the late autumn, the top of Yuelu Mountain is shrouded in clouds, and the four Hong Zhou pavilions are like fire and bright, which vividly shows the artistic conception in the poem.
4. Gulushan Temple
Gulou Mountain Temple, located halfway up Yuelu Mountain, was built in 268 AD in the Western Jin Dynasty. Buddhism was introduced into China for more than 200 years, and the earliest people built temples to worship Buddha for only 50 years. It is the oldest Buddhist temple in Hunan. The couplet on the door "The first scene of Han and Wei Dynasties, the first scene of Hunan" is a true portrayal of the historical position of Lushan Temple.
The ancient Lushan temple has experienced ups and downs in history. Most of Du's buildings were destroyed.
There are towering old trees around the ancient Lushan Temple, which makes the ancient temple deep and quiet. There are two Podocarpus trees in front of this Guanyin Pavilion. It is said that this larger plant was planted when the temple was built in Lushan Mountain, hence the name "Jin Song", also known as "Six Dynasties Pine". It is the oldest tree in Yuelu Mountain and a witness to the long history of Lushan Temple. There used to be two kinds of golden pine trees, also called "Songguan", because their branches were intertwined and luxuriant, just like a warrior guarding the pass. Later, one of them was overturned by the wind and rain during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and a smaller one was replanted.
5.Baihequan
Baihequan has existed since ancient times. In the third year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, namely 1877, Xia Xianyun, a grain road in Hunan Province, built a pavilion and carved a tablet. During the Anti-Japanese War, pavilions were abandoned and historical sites were preserved. The pavilion you see now was rebuilt by 1956. Baihequan is located in the middle section of Yuelu Mountain geological fault, where trees are lush and water resources are conserved. Abundant surface water seeps into the cracks of timely sandstone in Yuelu Mountain, and then flows to the depths of the fractured zone composed of sandstone, from which it gushes out of the surface. Making tea with Baihe spring water can refresh the mind and prolong life, which is a must in Yuelu Mountain. Therefore, this eye spring has the reputation of "the first Xiangxi in Lushan Mountain".
Another unique feature of Baihe spring is that coins can float on the water without sinking. This is because the spring water has good quality, high specific gravity and a certain tension on the water surface. When many tourists and friends come here, they always drop coins, make wishes and hope their dreams come true, so people call it "blessing spring".
