Historical legend

The name of Lingling comes from the evolution of this stone island. It is said that in the sixth year of Yuanding (111 BC) of the Western Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty began to establish Lingling County, Xiangling mountain had a beautiful scenery and was rich in a kind of precious herb, which was very similar to the fragrant "Basil" in shape. It was more fragrant than Jiaolan. When the emperor knew it, he set it as "tribute"; year after year, the number of tribute decreased year by year, and the herbs were all picked, which still could not meet the needs of the palace. Collecting tribute grass has finally become the hard labor of the people, and many people have to leave their homes. In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zhou, the prefect, told the emperor the truth of all the herbs, and then he was exempted from paying tribute. By the Qing Dynasty, vanilla had disappeared.

Features of scenic spots

Liu's poem "two rivers converge to the west, strange and hidden." It is about the precipitousness of Xiangling mountain. This is because the island is located in the middle of the river and has hidden reefs. In the past, when the water rose in spring and summer, the rafts touched the reefs by mistake, and the drifters drowned. In the second year of Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty, a Guanyin pavilion was built on this isolated island in order to "suppress evil spirits and drive away demons". The monk Zhaomu lived in the pavilion, and a lifeboat was set up, which was managed by a specially assigned person. Every time the water rises, the bell rings during the day and lights at night to make people know the alarm. This not only reduces the danger, but also adds to the beauty of the island. Nowadays, when people go to the island, they can see the beautiful mountains from afar and the clear water from near. Especially in the light rain, dense fog suddenly rises, the island suddenly looms, standing quietly in the misty rain.
