brief introduction
3800 Kan is a national first-class scenic spot. It was named after 3800 stone steps from the foot of Kan to the top of Kan in the past. It is one of the best existing ancient roads in China. It has been filmed in a TV play of the same name. 3800 Kan was rebuilt in the Republic of China, and now it is more than 5500 levels. It is said that it used to be a sheep intestine road. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Bamei led her troops to Fujian. Because of the rugged mountain road and the inconvenience of transporting grain, she ordered to build this ancient road. There are many beautiful legends here, which make it full of mystery. The 38000 Kan scenic spot is famous for its beautiful scenery, rich culture and numerous ancient and famous trees.
history
When the 3800 ridge was first built has not been recorded in the literature. Under Dishuiyan, there is a stone inscription "Liao di * ye Fengxiang rebuilt on the auspicious day of June in the 12th year of Wanli (A.D. 1584)"; on the roadside rock 382 away from Kanding, there is a stone inscription "rebuilt by flood in June in the 58th year of Qianlong (A.D. 1793)". In addition, in the annals of Nanping County, the poems of Ming Dynasty poets chanting 3800 Kan are all called ancient roads, so it can be seen that they were built quite early. According to folklore, 380kan was built here by Yang Bamei, the daughter of Yang Ye, a famous general in Song Dynasty. Therefore, there are many legends about Yang Bamei on 380kan and Mangdang Mountain, such as Yang Bamei's commanding platform, training ground, sword left by Yang Bamei after breaking the stronghold, incarnation (stone Buddha) after death, fog brought by Yang Bamei, etc. Legends are widely spread, but they are not historical facts. Therefore, the formation of these legends is due to the fact that the ancient road has experienced the world's sophistication and vicissitudes, leaving a lot of mysterious places for people, and these legends have also become a driving force for people to visit 3800 canyons.
There are also stone carvings on the roadside rocks more than 400 steps away from the top of the ridge. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Tang, a native of the country, chose to do good deeds, so he raised money to repair the road, which took 10 years and was completed in 1920. There are more than 5500 new stone steps, each of which is made of 1-2 square stones with uniform specifications. Steps such as a long dragon, winding, lingering Bifeng, very spectacular. In the 12th year of the Republic of China, SA Zhenbing, the governor of Fujian Province, presented a monument named "Yisheng zaidao", which was erected 400 steps away from Kanding.
scenery
The scenery along the 3800kan mountain varies with the height of the mountain, such as the steep cliff, the deep valley cliff, the murmuring and singing of the mountain streams and streams, and the waterfall in front of the cliff. The bird calls and cicadas singing from far and near mountains add a quiet and far-reaching feeling to the ten mile ancient road. After climbing the 3800 ridge and looking around, you can see that the wind and smoke are still and the Tianshan Mountains are colorful. You suddenly feel open-minded and fresh. In the distance, Jianxi River and futun River can be seen winding around Nanping City, and Minjiang River can be seen winding down Fuzhou. There is an ancient castle between the two hills on the top of the ridge, which is closely connected with the main traffic road. It is a place that ancient military strategists must fight for. There are seven thousand year old Metasequoia trees outside the ancient castle. Even in Nanping City, 15 kilometers away, people can clearly see their majestic posture of standing tall and straight into the clouds.
3800 Kan attracts a lot of tourists. They always have to use their own steps to confirm whether it is 3800 Kan or not, and they are always puzzled: why is the apparent 5000 Kan called 3800 Kan? There is a stone tablet on the side of the road 357 away from Kanding. The reason why 3800 Kanding is more than 5000 is in the inscription of the tablet. During the ten years of turmoil, the monument was smashed into more than ten pieces, scattered in the grass, and some were moved to pave roads and build stoves. The cultural relics department of Nanping City mobilized the local people to search for the fragments, collected them and restored them to their original state after patching up.
Banyan Pavilion: 3800 cangu is full of interest, the mountain path is covered with trees, there is no heat in midsummer, cicadas sing and birds singing, deep and quiet. Climb along the winding stone steps and pass by three pavilions, among which banyan Pavilion is the most beautiful. Half rock Pavilion up, the terrain is precarious, left is the deep gully, right is the steep rock, spring and summer when the waterfall from the top of the rock, it is spectacular. "Zhongyan waterfall", one of the eight sceneries in ancient Yanping, refers to this. Banyan Village: the ancient Fujian Jiangxi road passes through banyan, where there are ancient villages, so it is called banyan village. There are two separate rocks beside the village road. Shi Yushi is precipitous. It is said that the stone opens in the daytime and closes in the night. In fact, it is the reason that "fog locks the mountain path, and it is difficult to fly over the dangerous road". There is a giant camphor on the left side of the road, 12 meters around the tree, guarding the ancient village.
Castle of Song Dynasty: looking up from Banyan village to the top of the ridge, you can see that Guanbao is a powerful town in the sky. The gateway is a stone arch with a wooden pavilion and a stone castle of Song Dynasty. In front of the arch in the east of the castle, there are six thousand year old willow trees. It is said that they are the sentinels of Yang Bamei, the heroine of the Song Dynasty. They stand here after being enlightened by immortals. Their branches and leaves spread for several miles, which is magnificent. Even in the east of Yanping City, you can see their majestic posture. The castle is close to Junzhu village road. The tomb of Wang Tang Xuan, a good man who rebuilt the ancient road during the period of the Republic of China, is hidden in the green forest. It is solemn and simple, which makes people respect.
When you climb to the top of the ridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains. Looking out into the distance, the city is lined with high-rise buildings, chimneys, and the water of Minjiang River is like a silver belt. The ancients said, "when you watch the sunrise in the morning, the city of Yanping is more gorgeous; when you watch the sunset, the terraced fields of a hundred Li are covered with rosy clouds. It's really a wonderful place to watch the scenery.
Rebuild
The 3800 Kan Yuan road is paved with uneven stones of different sizes. Because it is in disrepair for a long time, the ancient road is difficult to walk. In 1911, the 68 year old farmer Wang Tang of Junzhu village, maodi township was elected to raise money for many years. He personally led craftsmen to spend ten years in survey and design, drilling and cutting walls, paving stone steps, and renovating 3800 ridges in 1920. After the reconstruction, the height of each stone step of 3800 ridge is reduced to 15cm (except the section near the top of the mountain because of the steep terrain). There are more than 5800 steps in total. Each stone step is nearly two meters wide and is paved with one or two stone strips. It is neat, beautiful and easy to walk. In the era when there were no roads or railways, 3800 Kan was the only way from Nanping to Yangkou of Shunchang, Shaowu and other places directly to southern Jiangxi. The road construction made it convenient for the travelling passengers and businessmen. Therefore, the well-known soldiers in Nanping at that time jointly wrote a letter asking for commendation of Wang Tangxuan's achievements. In 1923, SA Zhenbing, then governor of Fujian Province, visited the site and inscribed a stele in recognition of Wang Tang election. In the center of the granite with a height of 190cm, a width of 80cm and a thickness of 15cm, four big characters "righteousness carries the road" are engraved. On the right side of the stone tablet, the inscription "Wang Shanshi hall chooses to donate money to build the road, but does not refuse to pay for the labor. Those who praise virtue go all over the road. The left side of the road is a stone for immortality." On the left, there is a square seal of "Fujian Province seal" in seal style.
Today, Nanping is no longer an ancient city with closed traffic. It reaches Fuzhou in the East, Xiamen in the south, Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the west, and Wuyi in the north. It has become a water and land transportation hub in Northern Fujian, and 38000 Kan is no longer a major transportation road connecting with other places. With the gradual development of Mangdang Mountain scenic spot, the ancient road 3800 Kan has become the center of Mangdang Mountain scenic spot because of its long history and magnificent scenery. Tourists hike from the bottom of the mountain to the 3800 ridge top. While enjoying the natural scenery and confirming the places and scenery of myths and legends, they also look for the footprints left by historical celebrities such as Xin Qiji and Wen Tianxiang. With the development of history, the ancient 3800 Kan is more valued by people.
legend
*Liaodi is now maodi Town, Yanping District.
*In 1971, the monument was smashed by the Lalian militia. In 1986, comrade Lu Baokang and I went to Junzhu village to look for monk Wang (now in mingcuige, over 70 years old, from Junzhu Village) and together went to the homes of 38000 Kan and Junzhu villagers. Only two small pieces were missing. After they were transported to the city, they were assembled by the garden according to the original state, and the missing figures were made up according to rubbings.
*It's said that there are many caves in the mountain, which are used by Yang's troops and food. In the 1960s, maodi commune sent many cadres into the mountain to look for them, but they failed. There are golden chair, shiciba, stone toad and so on.
*It's said that banyan was originally garrisoned by green forest. Yang Bamei and her soldiers could not attack for a long time, so they borrowed the heavy fog to cover the Mangdang Mountain and create favorable conditions for breaking the village. After the village was broken, the borrowed fog has not been returned. Up to now, the mountain is often shrouded in clouds and fog.
*There is a huge stone at the gate of banyan mountain, which can open in the day and close in the night. Ba Mei takes advantage of the night to attack the gate and is not allowed to enter. So she takes out her sword and splits the huge stone in half. Up to now, the stone is still in banyan village. After seizing the banyan mountain stronghold, Bamei inserted her sword into a rock in Mangdang Mountain. Later on, the duck releasing old man saw the sword occasionally and pulled it out. He saw all his ducks' heads fall to the ground. The duck releasing was very frightened. She quickly inserted the sword back into the original place, and all the ducks' heads returned to their original positions.
Try again and again, all the same. Go back and tell the villagers that they can't pull it out again. There is no trace behind the sword. Nowadays, many people visit Mangdang Mountain
