The highest peak of Daming Mountain in Shanglin County is called Longtou Mountain. Due to the diffraction of sunlight in clouds and water vapor, the top of Longtou Mountain and other peaks in xianrentai have long been exposed to rare light. The local Zhuang people are called Zhao Xianjing. In addition, there is often a kind of singing sound like wind, waves and thunder, so the ancients renamed "Bashi" as "Daming Mountain" and wrote "Daming Mountain" in Ming Dynasty.
June to noon from summer solstice every year is the best time to study the direct sunlight phenomenon in Daming Mountain area. At this time, the strange phenomenon of "standing without shadow" appeared in the mountains, trees and stones of Daming Mountain, that is, the shadow of people shrank at their feet. In the traditional concept of Zhuang compatriots, the shadow of people has always been a symbol of the soul. Lengthening the crooked shadow means that the human soul will be separated from the body, which is unlucky. And the shadow shrinks to the foot, which means that the human soul is tightly attached to the human body, which is a sign of good luck. Therefore, the ancestors of Zhuang people in Daming Mountain area will hold sacrificial activities in Daming Mountain on the day of summer solstice to pray for peace for one year.
Due to the change of geological structure, the underground spring around Daming Mountain often presents a strange landscape. According to Shanglin and Wuming County Records:
"In February of the eighth year of Guangxu, the muddy water in the radish pond was half clear, and it was completely clear after three days."
"In October of the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the clarified water in Taihu Lake named Huang Lin on Baihe River (Silian Village, Liangjiang Township) suddenly turned red, like the fog of red clouds rising from the bottom of the lake, and stopped in February of the following year."
"1984 1 1 In June, two black streams of water spewed out from the crevices by the spring, which lasted for seven days and seven nights. Black water floats in the clear pool water, like a snake swimming around in the water, but it does not enter the river with the clear water. Strange phenomena and anecdotes caused a sensation. More than 1000 people visit Linquan every day, many of whom are from Nanning. Legend has it that this kind of water can be used for fitness and treatment. Many people take a bath in spring or bring it back with bottles for medicine. But the black water will clear after 10 minutes in the vessel, which is the mystery that black water does not flow into the river. The local villagers recalled that during the periods of 1944, 1 1 day, 1976, 1 1 day, the spring was connected with light red water for 7 days. During the period when the spring water produces different colors of water, the water quality has no odor. Qinlatun people near the spring water go to the spring to get water for life and diet as usual without any abnormal reaction. "
"199 1 In August, a drought occurred in the county town, and a cave in Guanlan Valley (local name) in Chuanqian Village of Chengxiang Township suddenly gushed water, flooding dozens of acres of depressions on the mountain into ponds. The villagers nearby raise fish among them. It was not until August of the following year that the cave swallowed water, and the villagers rushed to fish. After more than one day, the water was gone. Over the years, this cave has been swallowing water in rainy or normal years, but when there is a drought in the county, it will spit water into a beach, about once every 10 and 8 years, and each time it stays in the water for a short time, for a few months, the elderly are about a year. "
On the eve of the Indian Ocean earthquake in June, 5438+February, 2004, the clear seawater suddenly burst into yellow water, which many old people have never seen in their lives. Just when everyone was wondering, the Indian Ocean tsunami happened soon. It seems that the groundwater in Daming Mountain is connected with the earthquake zone.
Under the diffraction of sunlight, the cloud water vapor of Daming Mountain peak appears a rare light projection phenomenon. One of the eight scenic spots in Shanglin County is called "Fairy in the Mirror". Refers to the "gas field image" phenomenon on the main peak. The light reflection phenomenon of Daming Mountain is that in the early morning or evening, when the sun rises or sets, the clouds on the top of the mountain churn, and the sunlight is projected onto the horizon through the diffraction of water vapor, forming a huge rainbow-edged circular light and shadow. The Zhuang people in Daming Mountain call it "Fairy Mirror". At this time, people standing on the top of the mountain will cast a huge figure on the "fairy mirror". People call this phenomenon "looking at the fairy mirror".
The phenomenon of "fairy mirror" is not often encountered, but only occurs in special weather and geomagnetic anomalies. This phenomenon can also be seen on Mount Emei in China, which is called "Buddha Light" or "Emei Baoguang". In brogan Mountain, people call it "brogan Monster", which shows that the "Fairy Mirror" of Daming Mountain is very mysterious and weird, so all Zhuang people regard it as their greatest luck to see it at the top of the mountain.
The ideal place to shoot "Fairy Mirror" is xianrentai in Daming Mountain. When the sun has just risen or is about to set, if a person stands in xianrentai with his back to the sun, there are dense clouds under xianrentai, and the sun shines on the person and the shadow is projected on the cloud curtain in front of him. The water droplets of the cloud turn back the sunlight (called diffraction or diffraction), and separate the white light with different wavelengths into the red outer layer and the purple inner layer. These diffracted rays will only enter the field of vision at a certain angle, and the halo with the right angle is just around the shadow of people. It forms a colorful "fairy mirror" that can take pictures of people. At this time, when people do various actions, the shadow reflected in the aura will also stop with the action. This magical natural phenomenon has attracted many tourists. Because Daming Mountain is rainy and humid, the phenomenon of "fairy mirror" appears more frequently than Emei Mountain, which is a unique tourism resource in Guangxi. The peaks of Daming Mountain in Shanglin County stand tall. From a distance, there seems to be no flat land on the mountain. In fact, there are many flat mountains on Daming Mountain. Locals call this mountainous area "Tian Ping". These Tian Ping are mountainous alluvial plains full of weeds. These Tian Ping vary in size, from the airport to the basketball court. Maximum area 180 mu. It is said that in the 1970s, when the war preparations were tense, it was planned to turn it into a war preparation airport. There are 8 natural lawns at the top of Daming Mountain, which are in a straight line and perpendicular to the Tropic of Cancer.
The vegetation in Tian Ping is also very strange. Tian Ping is surrounded by tall trees or bushes, but there are no trees on the lawn. In the early years, people in nature reserves specially planted some bamboos and small trees on the edge of the lawn, but after many years, bamboos and trees were as small as straw and could not grow. Many geologists and botanists have studied this phenomenon deeply, but they can't solve the mystery.
Tian Ping is a place full of mysterious stories. Many Tian Ping have wide and flat slates in the center. These slates are overgrown with weeds. When the weeds were uncovered, stone tablets like stone tablets were exposed. The slate is engraved with inexplicable words and lines. No one can understand these mysterious words and lines. The locals call this kind of "writing" "heavenly book".
According to the records of Shanglin County and Wuming County, the ancients once built a temple named Sanbao Hall in Wutianping. It is said that three ancient people practiced in the mountains and became immortals. This temple was built in memory of these three immortals. Now Wutianping still retains the ruins of the temple.
According to local legend, in ancient times, a man went up a mountain to collect herbs. He met two people playing chess in Tian Ping, and he stood by and watched. He was fascinated and forgot the time to go back. When he woke up and went down the mountain, it was already 30 years ago, and the personnel at home were completely different. He knew that he had met a fairy. According to this legend, the management department of Daming Mountain built the world's largest "chess ping" in Tian Ping, and held a chess competition that could enter the Guinness Book of Records. This game caused a sensation all over the country, and Tian Ping of Daming Mountain became famous all over the world. Daming Mountain in Shanglin County was originally named Daming Mountain. Why Daming Mountain? According to the Records of Shanglin and Wuming Counties compiled in the fourth year of the Republic of China, "Every autumn, the smoke clouds stagnate, and their internal sounds are like wind, rain, thunder and waves, or stop on the third or tenth day, which is called Daming." Daming Mountain seems to be named after a strange sound that often appears in the mountain. According to the local old man, whenever it is cloudy in autumn, as long as the people who enter the mountain don't come out in time, terrible strange noises will be made in the sky. This strange sound comes from the air, like a giant bull gasping. When encountering this strange noise, people hurried down the mountain. If they don't go down the mountain in time, they often get lost in panic and can't find their way out of the mountain for days. For this strange noise, it is said that the mountain god is angry, so he must wait until the anger of the mountain god disappears before entering the mountain. This strange sound often appeared before liberation, but it was rarely heard after liberation because the mountains were excessively cut down during steelmaking.
For the strange sound of Daming Mountain, some scholars believe that it is Lin Tao's voice recorded during the magnetic anomaly in the mountain. They think there is a huge magnetite body in Daming Mountain. When the ionized huge airflow passes through the magnet, the magnet will record the wind, Lin Tao's voice and animal's cry. This kind of geomagnetic recorded sound is released under certain geomagnetic anomalies, producing a "loud strange sound".
This "sound of nature" has also been produced in the Rhine Valley in Europe, and Europeans call it the song of the goddess Lorelei. In the canyon on the right bank of the middle reaches of the Rhine River in Europe, there is a rock named "Lorelei". A lifelike girl statue-"Lorelei Statue" was built on a rock. This statue of goddess originated from a legend: In ancient times, an infatuated girl named "Lorelei" was abandoned by a treacherous lover. She jumped angrily into the Rhine from a rock and became a beautiful goddess. Whenever the sun rises, she sits on the rock and sings sad love songs. It is said that when the weather is not very good, local people often hear a faint "goddess song". Moreover, when this kind of "singing" appears, the birds will be "deeply moved", appear very uneasy and fly around. After long-term observation and research, Professor Melvin Claessen of the University of Pittsburgh in the United States has uncovered the mystery of this phenomenon: it is a mixture of the vibration of the atmosphere and the chirp of birds. It turns out that charged particles emitted by the rising sun suddenly enter the earth's atmosphere, which makes the molecules and atoms in the atmosphere strongly impacted, which will cause the atmosphere to emit high-energy light and produce low-frequency vibration sound. When the natural environmental conditions such as sunshine, humidity, temperature and geoelectricity are suitable, some low-frequency vibration sounds may reach the ears of some people with sensitive hearing and hear this kind of "strange noise from the sky". Affected by this low-frequency vibration sound and invisible light waves, birds often feel confused and uneasy, making their flight disconnected and screaming, which forms this strange mixed sound with low-frequency vibration.
Some scholars believe that the "strange sound" of Daming Mountain, like Lorelei's song, is a high-energy luminous phenomenon, which is a low-frequency vibration sound produced by the strong impact of charged particles on molecules and atoms in the atmosphere. However, this view can't explain the phenomenon that the strange sound on Daming Mountain "ends on March 5 or 10", or the theory of "geomagnetic anomaly record" is more convincing. In any case, this strange phenomenon in Daming Mountain is undoubtedly attractive to many tourists who like to explore the mysteries of nature.
