Qingtian drum ci is a popular folk art variety in Qingtian, which evolved from "Bianwen" in Sui and Tang Dynasties and spread to Ming and Qing Dynasties. Qingtian, commonly known as "lyrics", is sung in the local dialect, and most of the singers are blind. Qingtian drum ci is distributed in the county from Zhenbu Township to the east bank of Wenxi Town, with about 300 drum ci artists. The rap form of Qingtian Drum Ci is still similar to that of Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, but the form has tended to be simplified. Drum lyrics are performed by one person, mainly by singing, supplemented by speaking, combined with rap. Words and expressions are mostly seven words, catchy, easy to understand, simple props, neat rhythm and rich plate changes. Qingtian drum ci can be divided into "flat ci" and "big ci" In 2007, Qingtian Drum Ci was listed in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list by Lishui City, and is currently applying for the third batch of intangible cultural heritage list in the province. Qingtian drum ci, which has been paid more and more attention by relevant departments, boldly stepped out of the "boudoir" and entered the public eye.

Qingtian Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon boat race, commonly known as "rowing dragon boat" and "fighting dragon boat" in Qingtian, is said to have started in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Republic of China. There are records of activities in Qingtian County Annals published by Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. Qingtian Dragon Boat Festival is an important festival for villagers to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in waters 20 kilometers downstream of Oujiang River. The activity time is from the first day to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, and the activity is generally divided into three parts, namely: First, offering sacrifices to gods and buddhas. Before the dragon boat goes into the water, it goes to the main halls to make incense, distributes incense on the river during the tour, and returns to the main halls to collect incense when the sun goes down in the afternoon. It is intended to pray for the Buddha to "give peace"; The second is game performance. After the dragon boat was launched, it swam on the river with the sound of gongs and drums. From time to time, I painted "Dragon Gate Array" and "River Dragon Playing in the Water". While rowing, the paddlers sang the sound of the dragon boat horn, and the audience on the shore also sang in harmony. The third is the dragon boat race. The speed of two dragon boats going down the river is generally around1000 m. At this time, the gongs and drums were loud, the two oars hit the water like flying, and the audience shook the earth. The scene was very warm. Such competitions are held at least 10 times a day.

Local customs and practices

Qingtian overseas Chinese are simple and value human feelings. Most of them pin their best wishes on overseas Chinese and express their deep affection for the villagers. When villagers go abroad, relatives and friends send gifts called "seeing them off". Before going abroad, people ask for lots, which are called "lots". Before getting on the bus, they drank a bowl of red dates and lotus seed soup. Red dates mean "red morning" and lotus seeds mean "lotus seeds". I wish them a bright future. Send oranges when you get on the bus. Oranges are homophonic with roots, indicating that you don't forget the roots. Oranges close to Kyrgyzstan represent good luck. The custom of Qingtian overseas Chinese to send things to express their feelings is in line with people's pursuit of a better life. Qiansiyan Scenic Area 200 1 was rated as a national AA-level tourist area. Located in Shankou Town, qingtian county, about 7 kilometers away from the county seat, it is one of the three major group cities in qingtian county. The valley is east-west, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the entrance facing south, and the mountain vegetation coverage rate is over 90%. There are nearly 20 scenic spots in the scenic area, such as Qiansitan, Ladder, Tianmen, Luohan Wall, Garden, Yin and Yang Bed, Frog Stone, Frog Cave, Siqian Bridge and Si Qian Temple. Among them, Si Qian Waterfall is the most distinctive, with a drop of about 28 meters. The rock protruding from the mouth of the waterfall is divided into two streams, which flow down from the heights and hit the rocks, forming countless ties, so it is called "Si Qian Waterfall". Si Qian Waterfall flies down to form Si Qian Lake, with an average depth of about 2 meters and an area of about 200 square meters. It is semicircular, and the water quality reaches the national first-class drinking water standard. Near the east of Si Qian Waterfall are Tianmenling and Luohan Wall. Tianmen consists of a ladder and Tianmen. The ladder is steep and upright, with 148 steps. Tianmen is so narrow that a person can pass sideways. Lohan wall is about150m high and120m wide. Eighteen arhats stand at the waist of the rock wall, carved from granite by artist Lin Yaoguang. Si Qian Temple Group, including Guanyin Pavilion, Gong Hu Temple and Mazu Tempel Group, has different buildings and vividly embodies Qingtian Stone. The Garden consists of two parts, distributed on both sides of Xiaopingkeng, with a drunken garden in the east and a drunken garden in the west, with a total area of 1 000 square meters. The drunken garden next to silver moon Pool is surrounded by Zilai Cave, which is piled up along a mountain. Here, Shan Qi, stone wonders and water wonders, coupled with the superb carving skills of the people, are integrated with the natural landscape. Qiansiyan belongs to granite lithology. In the process of Mesozoic crustal uplift, geological faults occurred, and the mountains were controlled by tensile fault zones, which repelled each other and caused faults, and water eroded along the fault plane for a long time. Due to the development of topography and geological faults, Qiansitan mountain is controlled by extensional fault zones, which repel each other and produce faults. Under the long-term erosion of flowing water, over time, the water pours down along the fault plane, forming a waterfall landscape. The word "Qiansiyan" at the entrance of Qiansiyan Scenic Spot was inscribed by a famous calligrapher in China, Mr. Sha Menghai, and Zhao Puchu, president of the National Buddhist Association, wrote the word "Luohanbi" in the scenic spot. Shimendong Shimendong Scenic Area is located in qingtian county, south-central Zhejiang Province, in the middle of the Xiushui tourist line of Jinli Wenqi Mountain, only 86 kilometers away from Wenzhou, one of the three major tourist network centers in Zhejiang Province, 365,438+0 kilometers away from Qingtian County and 40 kilometers away from Lishui City. Jinwen Railway, National Highway 330 and Jinliwen Expressway pass through the territory with convenient transportation. Shimendong was designated as a provincial key protected unit in Zhejiang Province in 1963, the first batch of provincial scenic spots in Zhejiang Province in 1985, the provincial forest park in 199 1 year and the first provincial forest park in Zhejiang Province in 20001year. The total planned area of the scenic spot is 7 1.34 square kilometers, of which the core scenic spot area is 25.64 square kilometers. It is divided into three scenic spots: Shimen Waterfall, Dazi Scenic Spot and Shigu Caohai Scenic Spot, as well as "three zones and two zones" such as Gaosha Village in Haikou Town in the west, Shile Village in Sichuan and Liaoning in the east, Oujiang Daxi Scenic Belt between National Highway 330 and Jinwen Railway, and mountain forest scenic belt connecting Prince Scenic Spot and Xigu Caohai Scenic Spot. The nature of the scenic spot is: a provincial-level scenic spot, surrounded by mountains and waters, featuring caves and waterfalls, cliff carvings and beautiful alpine meadows on the Oujiang River, which is a cultural relic integrating mountains and forests with wild interests, suitable for leisure sightseeing and summer vacation. Shimendong is a stratigraphic division along the southeast coast of Zhejiang Province, which is characterized by the special development of Mesozoic volcanic rocks. It is a set of extremely thick eruptive rocks with acid rhyolite and tuff as the main lithology, sandwiched with basic continental volcanic rocks. Geological structure is dominated by faults, and folds are not developed. The landscape of the scenic spot is dominated by hills and mountains, with Kuocang Mountains in the north of Daxi and Donggong Mountains in the south of Daxi. Most of this area is a part of the Donggong Mountain Range, which is the highest landform area in Zhejiang Province, and the terrain inclines from southwest to northeast. Because of the fierce cutting and complex terrain, most of them are low mountains with an altitude of 700-800 meters, and the slope of the hillside is above 25 degrees. There are many valleys and beaches in the north, with a river surface of 200-400 meters wide and an altitude of only 20 meters. The scenic spot belongs to subtropical monsoon climate, which is warm and humid, with four distinct seasons and abundant precipitation. And the vertical difference is obvious. The average annual temperature from the entrance of Jiang Bin to Shigu Lake Scenic Area is about 18℃, and the average annual precipitation is1480mm ... The water quality of the hydrological stream is the national first-class surface drinking water standard. The average annual runoff of Daxi in Oujiang River is about 20 billion cubic meters, the water quality is above the national second-class standard for surface drinking water, and the vegetation forest coverage rate reaches 94%. Shimen Cave is characterized by mountains and peaks, high waterfalls, clear streams and lush trees. It has a long history, numerous historical sites, numerous legends and rich cultural connotations. Shimen Waterfall is breathtaking. The five waterfalls have their own characteristics and are magnificent. The lowest level falls from the cliff at a height of112.5m, which is called "Tian Quan" and "holy water". Under the waterfall, Longtan culvert covers three acres, as blue as the sky. The entrance of Shimen Cave is like a jade belt, with Qishan and Gushan opposite, surrounded by mountains and lush trees. During the Southern Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, landscape poems were introduced, and Yongjia satrap Xie Lingyun sought secret victory. After visiting Shimen Cave for the first time, it became "Wu Dong's first victory" and was later listed as the 12th cave among the 36 small caves in Taoism. Celebrities and contemporary writers such as Li Bai, Wang Anshi, Tang Xianzu, Ruan Yuan, Yuan Mei, Zhu Yizun, Guo Moruo all praised Shimen Cave, leaving beautiful poems, forming 1 17 cliff stone carvings. The calligraphy works of Zheng Zhuan, Zhu, etc. are colorful, making Shimen Cave one of the most dense cliff stone carvings in Zhejiang Province. Shimendong is still the place where Liu Ji, a famous Buddhist teacher, was praised by Ming Zongzu as "crossing the river unparalleled and founding the country first". The former site of Liu Ji's reading room is on the ground, and the Liu Wencheng Temple remains the same. Nearby are the Lingyou Temple, Xieketang, Guanyin Pavilion, Shimen Mountain Villa and other historic sites in modern Chencheng, as well as 50 scenic spots such as Buddha beds, Qingyun Ladder, Xuanyuan Mountain and ventilation caves. Located at the top of more than 700 kinds of peaks, Taiziding Scenic Area is a good place for mountaineering, fitness, exploration and curiosity. Shigu Caohai is a rare alpine meadow scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, with good forests, rich wild plants, many flowers and plants and cool alpine climate. This is a summer resort and a good place to enjoy the snow in winter. Outside Shimen Cave, there is the Daxi scenic belt, with clear streams, beautiful beaches, Quxi Bay and trees on both sides. The scenic belt from Prince Shengjing to Shigu Caohai Mountain Forest is like a scenic corridor, full of wild interest, and it is a typical sightseeing ecological recreation belt in Shan Ye. Shimendong Scenic Area has been compiled as a master plan and has been listed as the focus of tourism development in qingtian county in recent years. The renovation of tourist trails and the construction of Shimendong Hotel have improved the reception capacity. But in front of the scenic spot, it is mainly managed by the forestry department, and there are many forestry economic activities. The basic reception facilities such as water, electricity, sanitation and shopping are poor, which is not commensurate with high-grade resources and affects the comprehensive benefits of tourism. At present, the total number of tourists is only about 70 thousand. In the future, we should straighten out the system and strengthen the unified leadership of scenic spot construction. Vigorously publicize, speed up the implementation of project construction, maintain ecological balance, and build Shimen Cave into a famous scenic tourist area in southern Zhejiang. Jiuwan Xianxia Scenic Area Jiuwan Xianxia was rated as a national A-level tourist area and county-level scenic spot at 1999, about 45 kilometers away from the county seat. Jiuwan Xianxia is a typical water erosion canyon. V-shaped, with a total length of 8 kilometers and a total area of about 5.3 square kilometers. Canyon is mainly famous for its rocks, caves, ponds, waterfalls and rock walls. There are more than 100 natural pools in the scenic spot, of which 3 are 4-5 meters deep, covering more than 2,000 square meters, and countless are 1-3 meters deep, covering an area of more than 30 square meters. They are called "natural swimming pools" and "natural river beds". There are many kinds of strange stones around the pool, such as crocodile stones, stone benches and stone houses. Among them, the most peculiar landscapes are "Pneumatic Stone", Tianmen Gorge and natural riverbed. Pneumatic stone is located at the highest point of the mountain. It is about 2 meters high, oval and weighs about 5 tons. People can shake it by hand, but it will never fall. Tianmenxia is about 7 meters high and 50 centimeters wide. Enter along the stone tablet, and the width of the turning point is about 30 cm. Further on, it is a natural cave that can accommodate more than 10 people, with a "three-column" landscape composed of three stones. The natural riverbed is located at the bottom of Xianxia in Jiuwan, with a total length of about10000m and an average width of about 70m. Water flows from west to east. The riverbed of the canyon consists of two natural rock walls, which are smooth and slightly concave in the middle. The height difference between the upper and lower rock walls is about1.5m. The upper rock wall is about 1000 m2, the middle is slightly concave, with water, and the deepest part is about 0.5m, like a natural plate. Water flows down the rock wall like a natural slide. The rock wall is about 1.5m high, about 1m wide, and the slope is about 45 degrees, so it is smooth. The lower rock wall covers an area of about 2000 square meters, with a slight depression in the middle, the deepest part is about 1 m, and there is water in the middle. The water quality of the streams in the canyon is clear, reaching the national first-class drinking water standard. Jiuwan Xianxia is a NW-SE rock fault, which was produced during the Mesozoic crustal uplift. It was formed because the water surface of Zhang Cun tableland, a tributary of Wangzhen Port, was eroded by current. In addition, the degree of surface uplift and lithology are also very different. The hard rhyolite in the canyon is seriously eroded and worn by running water, and its surface becomes extremely smooth. Due to the narrow outlet channel and large slope, the scouring force and carrying capacity of flowing water are increased, the bedrock of the river channel is exposed, pebbles and fine sand are deposited, and large stones are piled up, forming geological landscapes such as water slide slopes and natural river beds. Scenic wonders such as bedrock, stone walls and various large hieroglyphs are formed by rock collapse, such as pneumatic stones and Tianmen Gorge. The scenic area is surrounded by cliffs with beautiful scenery, and the forest coverage rate is over 95%. Vegetation is mainly subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest, mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forest and bamboo forest. There are many flowers and grass in the mountains, and colored stones are everywhere in the lower reaches of the river, with four colors: red, yellow, blue and white. If it floats, it will be colorful, and the scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter will be different. Jiumenzhai Jiumenzhai was rated as a county-level scenic spot, located in Gaohu Town, qingtian county, about 0/8 km away from the county seat/kloc-. It is called "Qingtian Jiuzhaigou" and belongs to a long belt valley tourist destination. The scenic spot is named after nine gates, such as pilgrimage gate, swan gate and stone Buddha gate. The mountains in the scenic area stand upright, and it is amazing to walk, such as entering the heavy mountain gate. The gate of Jiumenzhai, also known as Mahayana Gate, consists of four big pillars supporting a horizontal plaque. The horizontal plaque is engraved with the word "Jiumenzhai", inscribed by Su Shi on the front and Fei Xiaotong on the north. Zhaimen stands in an empty square with an area of about 400×50 square meters, which is magnificent from a distance. Enter Zhaimen, pass through the second Chaomen and the third Imperial Gate, that is, to a fork road, leading to the stone Buddha altar in the east (passing through the stone Buddha Gate, the Xiansheng Gate and the Dusheng Gate) and the stone goose pit in the north (passing through the Swan Gate, the Tianchi Gate and the Shuntian Gate). Jiumenzhai starts from Chuanliao Port in Neifeng Pit and goes deep into the vicinity of Pit Natural Village along Neifeng Pit, with a total length of about12km and an area of about10km2. Jiumenzhai Scenic Area is characterized by circuitous and dangerous mountain streams, deep and steep canyons and interspersed peaks. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "36 horizontal and 72 curved". Among them, the stone Buddha altar is the most distinctive one. The stone Buddha altar was built without review, rebuilt in 184 1 year, and rebuilt in 1907. The stone Buddha altar is famous for its "Guanyin Rock Mountain" stalagmites, which are about 30 meters high. More interestingly, among the stalagmites, there is an olive tree with a circumference of 1 m, which stands in the temple and goes straight into the sky. People say, "There is a rock in the temple, a Buddha in the rock, a temple built on the rock and a Buddha spirit in the rock". Jiumenzhai is characterized by steep mountains, deep valleys and continuous mountains due to the uplift of the early crustal movement and the cutting of mountains and rivers. The strata are mainly distributed in Mesozoic volcanic sedimentary rocks and belong to rhyolitic tuff of Tangshishan Group in Jurassic. Some of the peaks here are magnificent, some are straight and steep, some are gentle and round, some are like lions, and some are like eagles spreading their wings. According to the mountain shape, the local people handed down beautiful stories such as kissing turtles, dinosaurs seeking dharma and Penglai bonsai. There is a legend among the local people: In ancient times, the swan was ordered by the Queen Mother to search for the beauty of the world and flew all over the mountains and rivers of Wan Li in the south of the Yangtze River. Finally, it chose Jiumenzhai, where it cultivated itself and rested, and never returned to Tianfu. In order to punish her, the queen mother set up nine laws here. Later, I don't know which dynasty and who built the village here. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a businessman who stayed at "Guanyin Rock Mountain" and dreamed that Guanyin appeared. Later, when I saw Guanyin's portrait on the rock wall of Lantau Island, the businessmen were overjoyed and worshipped. A few years later, a temple named "Stone Buddha Altar" was built on Yushan Rock, and the incense was growing. In addition, the Buddha's light flashes in front of the temple altar, which is still an eternal mystery. So there was Jiumenzhai, a fairyland on earth. Taihe Mountain, formerly known as Qingtian Mountain, is located in the north of the county seat and is a city park for the people of qingtian county. Named after the numerous white cranes that lived in ancient times, it is a typical low mountain landform. Taihe Mountain, which features Gu Song's strange stones, has been included in Lishui-level scenic spot and national AA-level tourist area. The elevation of the main peak of Taihe Mountain is 144. 1 m, and the rocks on the hillside are widely exposed. There are many strange stones in Gu Song, and the vegetation coverage rate is over 85%. Gu Song's strange stones, cliff carvings and ancient temple pavilions are the characteristics of Taihe Mountain. The thin-skinned and high-yield Pinus massoniana in Taihe Gu Song is mostly Pinaceae. The rocks in Taihe Mountain are peculiar, including mixed peaks, rooster rocks and filial piety rocks. Among them, the mixed peak is located at the top of Taihe Mountain, and the main rock mass is relatively exposed, shaped like a square chapter and cut into a cross, which is a huge rock with joint geological structure. Ancient tourists visited Taihe Mountain and found that Gu Song was closely related to rocks. Among them, the inscriptions such as "Song Fushi" and "Stone" are the true portrayal of this place and the strange stones. There are more than 50 inscriptions on Taihe Cliff, including titles, poems and images, orthography, calligraphy, calligraphy and other calligraphy. There are inscriptions such as Chen's Mixed Yuanfeng, Sword Testing Stone and Chang Song Jieshi, and modern people's Misty Rain and Loose Crane, Sha Menghai's Beautiful Scenery of Taihe, Zhang Aiping's Beautiful Mountains and Rivers, Su Yu's Decorating the Mountain, and Ai Qing's Moon Pond. The most distinctive feature is the "Yang" carved on the southeast wall of Hunyuanfeng. It is similar to the Guanyin statue of Yangzhi Temple in Putuo Mountain, carved in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1608). Such a huge statue of Yang Zhi Guanyin is rare in our province. Huancui Temple is the largest Buddhist activity place in Qingtian, facing south, with a building area of 1.800 square meters. The main buildings are Huancui Temple, Mahayana Hall, and three-storey halls (Tongyuan Hall, Sanguan Hall and Lying Buddha Hall). Built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it has been destroyed. Liu Chengyi Bo Temple is the only place where He Cheng commemorates Liu Ji in Qingtian. It was built in the 10th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (153 1), with a building area of about 300 square meters. There are more than 10 pavilions in Taihe Mountain, such as Xieqiao Pavilion, Splashing Jade Pavilion, Asking Crane Pavilion, Tingtao Pavilion, etc. The earliest one is Xieqiao Pavilion, which was built in memory of Xie Lingyun, a poet in the Southern Dynasties. This pavilion was built without review and was destroyed by soldiers in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty. It was rebuilt in the twelfth year of Tongzhi, with a square construction area of 25 square meters. Taihe Mountain is composed of Mesozoic Cretaceous granite, which was formed by crustal uplift and strong flowing water of Oujiang River in the south. Sword test stone is formed by granite joints eroded by running water for a long time, and other pictographs such as Baihe Cave and Panlong Cave are collapsed and erected. According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, Ye Fashan made an alchemy and tried his sword here. After reaching his goal, he crossed the crane and ascended to heaven. He was called "Qingtian Cave" by Taoism and was the 30th cave among the 36 small caves in Taoism. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Mixed Yuan Academy, Ruilong Academy, Xinji Academy and Zhengyi Academy were all located here. Beautiful landscapes and the development of past dynasties have enriched Taihe Mountain culture and become the "root" of Qingtian culture. Qingtian is named "Qingtian" because there is a piece of green cheese land at the foot of Taihe Mountain, and the county seat is named "he cheng" because of the foot of Taihe Mountain. 198 1 year, Taihe Mountain was turned into a county park. With the support of overseas Chinese in Qingtian and people from all walks of life, the landscape has been enriched by continuous renovation and development, and eight scenic spots with different styles have been formed, such as Xie Qiao Spring Festival Evening, Danshan Splashing Jade, Xianxiang Hewen, Huancui Pregnancy Show, Fusong Listening to the Tao, Yidewdrop, Miscellaneous Sword Test and Wangjiang Xiao Shu. Taihe Mountain is located in the north of qingtian county County, bordering Kunshan in the west and Tashan in the east.

[Edit this paragraph] Qingtian specialty

Qingtian stone carving Qingtian stone carving is a work of art carved with Qingtian stone. It is loved by people for its beautiful shape and exquisite skills, and it is a work of art carved from stone. It has won people's love with its beautiful shape and exquisite skills, and is known as "embroidery on stone", which is amazing. Qingtian stone carving is a bright pearl in the treasure house of traditional stone carving art in China with a long history. The earliest work that can be seen now is the unearthed cultural relic collected by Zhejiang Museum-Qingtian stone carving sleeping pig used in the Six Dynasties. The lines of the works are concise, the shape is simple, the form and spirit are both combined, and the Han and Wei styles can be seen in art. Qingtian stone carving developed greatly in the Tang and Song Dynasties. From the Qingtian Stone Carvings and Buddha Statues discovered in the Twin Towers of Longquan in the Five Dynasties, it shows that the theme and techniques of Qingtian Stone Carvings in the Tang Dynasty have made a breakthrough. In the Song Dynasty, Qingtian stone carving absorbed the craft of "clever jade", used the techniques of "guiding the situation according to the situation" and "clever use of color", gave full play to the advantages of Qingtian stone in stone color, stone quality and engravability, and created a precedent of "multi-level carving" techniques. Multi-level carving is a major feature of Qingtian stone carving. Delicate description and complicated treatment are difficult for any jade carving. During the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Zhao Ziang, Wen Peng and other scholars applied Qingtian stone to seal cutting, which broadened the artistic scope of stone carving. In the Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, Qingtian stone carving was selected as a tribute for many times as a famous product in the south of the Yangtze River. On the occasion of the 80th birthday, ministers made a set (60 pieces) of "Bao Dian Fu Shu" seals with Qingtian stone carvings as birthday gifts (now in the Palace Museum in Beijing). With the opening of ocean trade, Qingtian stone carvings are exported to Britain, the United States and France, and have participated in many international competitions such as the Paris Games, the Panama Pacific Games and the St. Louis Expo in the United States. In the second year of Xuantong, Qingtian Stone Carving won the silver prize at the Nanyang Persuasion Meeting held in Nanjing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qingtian stone carving developed rapidly. At present, there are more than 10,000 stone carving employees with an annual output value of several hundred million yuan. Their works have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions, enjoying a good reputation at home and abroad. Qingtian stone carving has a strong technical force, with more than 100 artists with middle and senior titles and a large number of young and middle-aged stone carving artists with their own artistic characteristics. Their works have high artistic value and economic value, and their masterpieces are collected by many collection units and people of insight at home and abroad. Qingtian stone carving has been selected as a national ceremony for foreign leaders for many times. Qingtian stone, known as "pyrophyllite" in geology, is a high-temperature resistant mineral. Not all pyrophyllite can be used for carving, but the best pyrophyllite can be used for carving, accounting for less than 1% of the total. Qingtian stone is rich in color, smooth in luster, delicate in texture, moderate in hardness and strong in carving. Qingtian stone carving works are brightly colored, beautifully carved, crystal clear as jade, and have unique artistic effects. The molecular structure of Qingtian quartz clock is uniform and fine, and the engraving line can be as thin as the hair of the head without breaking, so as to make a seal. When the seal is cut, the cutter is neat and smooth, and the edge of the seal will not be damaged for a long time, so that the printing oil is not easy to penetrate into the printing body. Qingtian stone is rich in reserves, distributed in more than a dozen towns and villages such as Shankou, Fangshan, Shimentou, Tanggu, Shanpao, Baiyan, Lingtou, Jishan, Zhoucun and Xiabao. The main producing area is Shankou Town to Fangshan Township, which is generally called Shankou Pyrophyllite Mine. The quality doubled and many famous stones were produced. The mining areas are kiln soil, Danhong, Fengmen, Poplar and Laoshuping. There are many kinds of Qingtian stone, and there are more than 100 famous typical varieties. Naming methods include origin naming method, stone color naming method, stone pattern naming method, pattern naming method, and the most expensive one. Blue and white is the light frozen, green door, blue Qingtian and bamboo leaf green produced in Zhoucun; The yellow ones are Ginkgo biloba and sheep fat white produced by Fengmen and Beishan crystal produced by Baiyan; The red ones are cinnabar jelly, pomegranate red, beauty red and pig liver red produced by Fengmen; Blue is the blue ribbon, blue star and blue sky produced by Fengmen; Green is mustard green produced by Baiyang and Qingtian green produced by Shanbao; Brown is the mahogany bean jelly produced in Jishan, the mahogany bean jelly produced in Fengmen and the soy sauce Qingtian; Black has black Qingtian produced by fengmen; There are three colors produced by fengmen, five colors and five colors produced by Danhong. The quality of Qingtian stone is far from good, oily frozen stone is the top grade, delicate and shiny but not frozen as the middle grade, and rough and dull as the inferior grade. Monochrome frozen stone should be the top grade without impurities and cracks, the stone that is basically pure, delicate, shiny and crack-free is the middle grade, and the stone that is rough and short of light and water is the inferior grade. Monochrome mix and match frozen roads, frozen spots or similar colors, as long as they are harmonious and coordinated, is also the top grade. Color, should be beautiful color, smooth color, fine texture, no cracks for the middle products, gray color, messy color, rough texture or obvious cracks for the inferior products. Some stubborn stones with frozen stones are also top grade if they can constitute works. Generally speaking, when evaluating Qingtian stone carvings, the first thing that catches your eye is the shape, followed by the quality and color of the stone, and then the subject matter and techniques. A good stone carving work should be a combination of novel conception, beautiful shape, clever use of stone color, excellent stone quality, thoughtful description and exquisite skills. Qingtian county Zhouxiaoshan is a high mountain with rich mountain resources. Local farmers have made full use of this advantage to develop goat breeding and have many years of breeding experience. The tall goats in Xiaozhoushan Township are traditionally raised in the wild, and all the sheep feed on natural weeds, with tender and tasteless meat. At the same time, through the cause of high-quality sheep-Boer goat, the variety of sheep is continuously optimized. At present, raising sheep in Xiaoshan Township has begun to take shape, covering 67 households in 9 administrative villages in the township, mainly in Xinjian Village, Shangshan Road Village and Xiping Village. Oujiang catfish Oujiang is the hometown of catfish. Catfish is a national first-class protected fish. At present, there are more than 100 in Oujiang River in China, mainly living in Shimen Beach, Zhixi Beach, Shawan Beach and Shili Beach in Qingtian. Soft-shelled turtle looks like a giant turtle and weighs twenty or thirty times more than soft-shelled turtle. Catfish is strong, it can lift ships, carry people across rivers and pull people into the water. Catfish lie underwater during the day and go out for food at night. The fecundity is not strong, and the eggs are laid on the sand by the river. After giving birth, the female catfish jumped into the river like an arrow from the beach four or five meters away in order to leave no trace. The scene is spectacular. But once in a hundred years, it is rare to see. Catfish meat is gelatinous and naturally turns into jelly in summer. Its edible value is higher than that of monkey brain and bear's paw, but it is forbidden to eat. Legend has it that buying and releasing giant salamanders can eliminate diseases and disasters, so buying and releasing giant salamanders is also a major custom in Qingtian. Camellia oleifera is a unique woody oil-bearing tree species in China and one of the four largest woody oil-bearing trees in the world, with good ecological and economic benefits.
