In 1994, it was approved by the State Council as a national key scenic spot, in 1996 it was approved and announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit, and in 2001, it was rated as one of the first batch of 4A-level scenic spots in China, and it is also one of the top ten scenic spots in Hubei Province and one of the top ten tourist cards in Hubei Province in 2001.
Dear tourists, it is worth mentioning that at present, Long Chinese Park Company has positioned Gurung as a resort integrating wisdom and worship, Three Kingdoms experience and cultivation and reading leisure, and is trying its best to build one heart: core scenic spots, -ring: tourism ring road, two major areas: enterprise strategy base and Wolong cultivation and reading culture, three major theme tourism routes: Zhuge Liang wisdom pilgrimage line, Three Kingdoms cultivation and reading culture experience route and Zhuge Caolu Sangu experience route.
Four key projects: Zhuge Caolu, Wisdom Temple, Stargazing Platform, Caolu Theater. In particular, after the completion of the Caolu Theater, it will be the first and largest Caolu theater in China.
Gurung has a history of more than 1,700 years, the natural environment here is quiet, Luo Guanzhong once described that the Gurung Zhongshan is not high and elegant, the water is not deep and clear, the land is not wide and flat, the forest is not big and lush, the apes and cranes are on a blind date, and the pine fence is green.
The cultural heritage here is profound, in 207 A.D., Liu Beisan went here, sincerely invited Zhuge Liang who lived in seclusion and cultivated here to go out of the mountain, leaving the ancient story of the thatched house, Zhuge Liang was grateful for Liu Bei's courtesy, he assisted Liu Bei to establish the Shu Han regime, Longzhong set up three parts of the world, opened the historical curtain of the Three Kingdoms, so Gulongzhong also became the source of the Three Kingdoms, the source of wisdom, and the resort of descendants to worship and remember Zhuge Liang.
In the Ming Dynasty, Gulongzhong has formed ten scenes in Longzhong: Caolu Pavilion, Ploughing Field, Sangu Hall, Xiaohongqiao, Hexagonal Well, Wuhou Temple, Half Moon Creek, Old Dragon Cave, Liangfu Rock, Hugging Knee Pavilion.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it successively rebuilt Longzhong Academy, Zhuge Caolu, Wuthering Heights, Bronze Drum Platform, Stargazing Platform, Chessboard Stone, Qintai and many other scenic spots.
Tourists and friends, we have arrived at the Gurung Central Scenic Area, please follow me to visit the scenic spot, then I hope you can visit in a civilized manner!
Everyone, please see, in front of our eyes this stone archway is the first attraction in the Gurung, but also its landmark building, built in the Guangxu period, for the four pillars of the three cards of the real estate structure, assembled by bluestone, about 6 meters high, about 10 meters wide, carved on the front door is the three big characters in the Gurung, the stone pillars on both sides are carved with the poems of the great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty: three visits to the world, the two dynasties opened the heart of the old ministers, praised the sincerity of Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house and the loyalty of Zhuge Liang Ye Ji two dynasties.
The small doors on both sides are carved with the famous words of Zhuge Liang: indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching, indicating that although Zhuge Liang lived a dull life in Longzhong, he had lofty ambitions.
Now please take a look at the back of the stone archway, there are five big characters on it
"Three generations and one person", this is proposed by Chen Weizhou, which means that Zhuge Liang is the noblest and greatest person after the Xia, Shang, and three generations, and no one else can compare with him.
On the pillars on both sides are also Du Fu's poems: Seeing Yilu between the two princes, the conductor is determined to lose Xiao Cao. This poem praises Zhuge Liang's outstanding political and military power.
After the stone archway, through the ploughing field, it will be to the small Hongqiao, then please pay attention to the safety of the tourists, the Qing Dynasty Wang Cheng wrote about the small bridge in the ten verses of Longzhong: someone saw the thing and thought of Xuande, had to go up to the small Hongqiao.
It is said that when Liu Bei visited the thatched house, he met Zhuge Liang's father-in-law Huang Chengyan next to the bridge, and saw the old man dressed in fox fur, talking extraordinary, and mistook it for Zhuge Liang, and caused a misunderstanding.
Since then, Xiaohongqiao has become as famous as Longzhong. Dear tourists and friends, what we see now is the Wuhou Temple.
The Wuhou Temple in Longzhong was first built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, repeatedly built and destroyed, and the current Wuhou Temple was rebuilt in the 38th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty.
It is built according to the mountainous terrain and is a four-storey and three-courtyard building. In the middle of the hall, there is a simulated bronze statue of Zhuge Liang, wearing a scarf, wearing a gossip clothes, and holding a goose feather fan.
Of course, this bronze statue is based on the records of the history books: bright, eight feet tall, through the conversion of units of measurement, according to the proportion of real people!
Looking at the main hall again, it is not difficult to find that the main hall enshrines the three ancestors and grandsons of Zhuge Liang, and there are four big characters on the plaque in the middle of the hall.
There are two side halls on the left side of the main hall: the Niangniang Hall and the Sanyi Hall. There is an osmanthus tree in the courtyard in front of the palace, it is said that it is planted at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is in full bloom season every year, and the fragrance is fragrant.
The lower right of Wuhou Temple is the Sangu Hall, as the name suggests, it was built to commemorate Liu Bei's Sangu Thatched House.
A couplet on both sides of the door: two tables pay three times, and one pair is full of thousands of years. Tourists, can you guess what this couplet means?
It seems that someone guessed correctly, the two tables refer to the two tables made by Liu Bei for Liu Bei's great career after Zhuge Liang entered Sichuan, and the three visits of course refer to Liu Bei's three visits to the grass to invite Zhuge Liang, and the pair refers to the Longzhong pair.
The corridors on both sides are inlaid with stone carvings and maintenance inscriptions of the past dynasties, and the central hall is hung with ancient paintings of the thatched cottage and the lines of national leaders.
There are also statues of Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the hall, which are lifelike. There are three ancient cypress trees at the door of Sangu Hall, which are said to be the tethered horse trees when Liu Guanzhang came to Longzhong that year.
Out of the Sangu Hall, now we see the imitation of the Han Dynasty building Zhuge Caolu. It is hexagonal, double-layer cornice, pilaster red tile, a large stone tablet in the pavilion is engraved with two big characters of grass house, and the font is vigorous and dignified.
Rebuilt in 1987, it has a floor area of 463.5 meters, and is divided into two courtyards, consisting of a thatched hall, guest rooms, bedrooms, and kitchens.
Look, the ox cart in this grass house courtyard was specially imitated by later generations according to the story of Zhuge Liang's ox cart welcoming relatives.
Walking west along the stream, we can trace it back to the source of the stream, the Old Dragon Cave. The spring water flows out from the old dragon cave, the winter is slow and the summer gushes, bubbling endlessly, the spring is surrounded by more than 20 acres of large flat farmland, it is very suitable for farming, it can be said that the world is not afraid of drought and flood for ten years, this place is definitely the place of drought and flood protection.
Back then, Zhuge Liang chose this secret place to live in seclusion, which was really discerning! Zhuge Liang said that the ministers were clothiers, ploughed in Nanyang, and lived in troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes.
The first emperor was not despicable to his ministers, he was humiliated, and he looked after his ministers in the grass house, and the ministers were grateful for the things of the world, so he allowed the first emperor to drive.
After the overthrow, when he was entrusted with the defeat of the army, he was ordered to be in danger, and he was twenty years old. Yes, in such a quiet environment, if he hadn't met Liu Bei sincerely succumbing to it, he might have to live in seclusion here for the rest of his life!
In that case, wouldn't it be a pity that China has a famous minister who has a thousand miles of strategy and is like a god?
Well, tourists and friends can play on their own, but remember not to litter the peel, do not smoke, and pay attention to safety!
In an hour we will meet at the gate of Gurung. Tourists and friends, time flies, our trip to Gurung has come to an end, and I believe that Gurung, which has a deep cultural heritage, has left a deep impression on everyone.
Thank you very much for your support and cooperation in our work, and please point out and forgive me if there is any inadequate service.
As the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, I believe that we will still meet if we are fated, until then, we will bring you better service, sincerely look forward to meeting you again, finally, I wish you all a smooth journey, thank you!
