Fucang mountain is located in the northwest of Guiyang County, Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, at the junction of HuaQuan Township and Guangming township. It meanders to the northwest to ziding mountain, one of the highest peaks in Guiyang County, and to the south to Sizhou Township via Huangling. At the junction of Fucang mountain and ziding mountain, the mountains converge and rush north to Changning City of Hengyang. The whole mountain is majestic and abnormal. The mountain is tall and towering, with an altitude of more than 1300 meters. The vegetation at the top of the mountain is mainly composed of meadow, lichen and other bryophytes. There are a large number of pine trees in the hillside Valley, which are lush and luxuriant, although they have been through mountain fires for many times. The rocks on the mountain are jagged and the boulders are marvelous. Among them, Tuanshan stone at the top and the triple tower at a slightly concave place are the most wonderful. The top boulder is more than 8 meters high, forming an irregular circle. The triple tower is made of three huge stones weighing about ten tons. The bottom is small and the top is large. It is towering and moving. What's more wonderful is that there are not only one but also three of them. The first two columns are mutually dependent on each other, and the third column is suddenly suspended in the air, which is amazing. On the top of the mountain, a temple is built on Tuanshan stone. The whole temple is made of stone, stone brick, stone wall, stone tile and stone roof, forming a full stone building with natural meaning. The stone house is said to be warm in winter and cool in summer. There are stone shrines and steles. On some stones, you can see the names of the people who donated to the temple.

As for the origin of the name of the mountain, according to the records of Shuidao in Volume 21 of Tongzhi Zhili Zhouzhi, Fucang mountain is also called the high mountain in the north of the state. Chen Shijie, governor of Shandong Province, wrote in the stele of rebuilding fucangshan Temple: "when the government looks around, only this mountain holds its head high to the sky, and the peaks are like descendants embracing their mother. The mountain is named fucangshan, which covers it.". This is because it is the only one that can still be seen in the historical records of fucangshan, and most of them hold this view. According to the local legend, the stone lions, stone tigers and stone temples on the mountain were left by Nu Wa to help the common people. Therefore, it is extremely efficient to pray for rain. It is the holy land of the whole county to pray for rain. It is very effective. It is the mountain to help the common people, so it is named Fucang mountain. Third, according to Hengxiang Jigu Lu, the ancient Guiyang County was the support of Cangshan Mountain, which reached Cangwu in the west, and the support of the sky. It was actually the pillar of heaven, supporting the sky because of its name. Chen Shijie, governor of Shandong Province (1825-1893), was named Juncheng. In the Qing Dynasty, people lived in Guiyang prefecture (now Guiyang County, Hunan Province). He was born in 1825. He studied Yuelu Academy in Changsha in his early years. In the 29th year, he selected seven grade officials from the Ministry of household. In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), Ding Fu was worried about his return. The next year, he led a delegation to suppress the uprising of Li Mingxian and Li Guanlong in the county.

development

At the beginning of the third year of Xianfeng, Chen Shijie joined Zeng Guofan's army in Hengzhou. When Bao Chao was beheaded, Wang Xin was trapped in the lonely city. He tried his best to remonstrate and rescue him. In March of 1994, the Taiping Army marched westward into Hunan and occupied Yuezhou, Xiangtan and other places. He took Xiangtan as the fundamental important place and should "know the soldiers" to help. Zeng Guofan adopted his ideas and won the first battle of Xiangtan. He was entrusted to serve as the principal. In the winter of the same year, he returned to the camp and helped with the grain production. At that time, the Hunan army had occupied Wuhan and was ready to attack Jiujiang. Because of the proposal to consolidate the naval base and to station heavy troops at xiaochikou on the other side of Jiujiang River, it was not adopted. After that, xiaochikou was occupied by the Taiping Army and the navy of Hunan army suffered heavy losses.

Later, people in Guiyang and Chenzhou started an incident one after another, and Chen Shijie's hometown was burned. From Hankou to Li, he specialized in league training, intending to recover. In the summer of 1855, the uprising army of he Lu and Chen Jingang captured Chenzhou with great momentum. He led his regiment Ding and Wang Xinbu to attack together, trapped Chenzhou and other towns, killed Chen Cai, Chen Liang, Li Shibao and other leaders of the rebel army, and promoted them to wailang and Tang daihualing. After that, he was appointed to be responsible for the defense of the South Road, intercepting the state to pay, and changing the township regiment to Yingyong, known as Guangwu army.

In the spring of the ninth year of Xianfeng, Shi Dakai's troops entered Hunan Province from Jiangxi Province to Guiyang, and planned to attack Hengzhou and Changsha in the north. Chen Shijie led the Guangwu army to stay in huayuanzhai in the north of Guiyang City, which blocked and frustrated the Shi army's route. Shi army went west to Xintian. He had to be promoted to a magistrate. Later, he helped Lanshan, Jiahe, Ningyuan and Jin Daoyuan.

In the first year of tongzhi (1862), Chen Shijie, recommended by Zeng Guofan, was promoted to be an inspector of Jiangsu Province. His hometown is not quiet, but he wrote a letter. He mingbiao, Li Fuyou, Luo yaxu and other uprisings were successively suppressed. Four years later, Gabriel became a political envoy. Later, he suppressed the mutiny of Bao Chao's troops and recruited the soldiers of the former Taiping army.

In 1871, Chen Shijie was appointed as an envoy of Shandong Province. Because of his mother's death, he began to work in 1875. On the other hand, we should correct the misjudged cases. Later, he was impeached because of Shandong Xun Kuo Wenge, and was involved in the dismissal. In five years, he returned to Fujian and was promoted to Shanxi in six years. Seven years later, he was promoted to governor of Zhejiang Province, where he added Zhenhai, lishangang, Dinghai and Zhapu fort.

In 1882, Chen Shijie became governor of Shandong Province. After Ding Baozhen, the governor of that time, there were many people's complaints in Caozhou and Yanzhou. When he was dealing with the river disasters in his territory, he ran back and forth, supervised the work personally, and saved the cost. But he neglected to inspect the defects, the quality of the project was poor, and he often burst out, which caused the dissatisfaction of Lu people. In the summer of the 12th year, he resigned because of illness, went to Beijing to wait for Jianyong, and returned to Guiyang. He died in the spring of nineteen at the age of 69.

Chen Shijie is one of the most famous scholar bureaucrats in Guiyang. The origin of his name is also very credible.

On the culture of fucangshan

There are poems in the whole Tang Dynasty. Liu Zhaoyu, a poet in Guiyang at the end of Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem named "climbing and supporting Cangshan Mountain": "when you travel half a day, you can see the mountains straight down. With the steps of white clouds, dangerous path polar plate. The bridge on the top of the waterfall is small and the shadow of the shop by the stream is cold. When you come and go to Taixi, xuanbin is rebuked. However, due to the long history and the oblivion of handwriting, the relics are nowhere to be found. Only Chen Shijie, governor of Zhejiang and Shandong Province, wrote the stele of rebuilding fucangshan temple. According to the inscription, "the sun is as big as a dustpan in the morning, the red beads come out of the water, and there is an ancient temple on it. The old cloud God tiger guards the door, and his tail is not injured. The temple God is golden. It is said that the cloud flies to the temple overnight, prays for the flood and drought, and the civil service is very sincere.". The ancient temple mentioned in the article does not support Cang temple. Fucang temple was built at an unknown time, relying on the nature of huge stones. Half of the gables, half of the towering boulders protruding from the upper part, and the lower part of the cave are sunken. The temple was built by nature. There are many records of the statues and niches of Jiajing and wanlishi in the Ming Dynasty. An inscription on the stone wall reads: "during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, a nun came to the temple to carve and repair it on the left side of the temple. Suddenly, three mu of farmland was transformed. In Daoguang's reign, those who repaired the Qi inscription added stone tiles in the 15th year. In the eighth year of Xianfeng, the seven ancestral halls were as good as those of shanzhugong. From the limited historical data, we can see that fucangshan temple has a history of at least 600 years. However, due to the demolition of the "broken four old" temple during the cultural revolution, the statues, plaques and all cultural relics have been lost, leaving only the broken steles. Only the three characters "Fu Cangshan" on the rock can be vaguely identified. In modern people's memory, only the talin nunnery at the southern foot of Fucang mountain, which once flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, was once known as one of the 48 famous temples in the world. When it was demolished in 1958, there were inscriptions and relics of the monk who presided over the Chu hall in the Ming Dynasty. The demolished bricks and tiles are used to build a new Guangming township government office building, commonly known as 18 rooms. Some of the bricks and tiles are also marked with the words of the 16th year of Jiajing. How to go to fucangshan most conveniently:

I believe this is a problem that everyone is very concerned about. It's a pleasure to have such a wonderful sight. Since I opened the door, I have seen Fu Cangshan for more than 20 years, and I have many experiences of going to Fu Cangshan. Therefore, it is necessary to write out the route bravely to point out those who want to enjoy the wonderful scenery. First of all, you must understand that it is the nearest way to fucangshan and HuaQuan. If you go from Guangming Township, congratulations. You have to work three times as hard to get there, but the scenery is not as beautiful as it is from HUAQUAN township. From Guiyang County, along the Aoquan, Ouyanghai, Sizhou line directly into HUAQUAN township.

When you get to HuaQuan, ordinary travelers will ask for directions. Ask the local people there may be different ways to go. But I just want to tell you one thing. How can I get to fangganzhu? (you can use Putonghua. The local people can understand it, but you have to say the word "square bamboo". As long as you are in HuaQuan, you will know square bamboo. You can rest assured.)

Starting from the location of HUAQUAN township government, go along the cement road to the right. If you arrive at the gate of Chen's house, you are on the right track and move on. There is only one road ahead. If you encounter a fork in the road, just go to the left. Until you meet the first right fork, go right decisively. Keep going and you'll get to the square bamboo. If you are not sure how to get to fangganzhu, stop and ask the local people. The local people are as honest as the towering mountains. When you get to the square bamboo, you can start your most convenient and beautiful journey to Fucang mountain from the path behind the square bamboo. (it's better to ask the local people how to get there.) Note: square bamboo is a house and a natural village.
