The western part of Wuyi Mountain is a key area for global biodiversity protection, with the most complete, typical and largest primitive forest ecosystem in the same latitude zone in the world. Orient Mountain combines water perfectly, and humanity and nature are organically integrated. It enjoys a high reputation for its beautiful scenery, long history and culture and numerous cultural relics. The central part is an important area connecting the east and the west, conserving the water source of Jiuqu River and maintaining a good ecological environment.
In view of the outstanding significance and universal value of Wuyishan's natural and cultural resources, the China Municipal Government suggested that Wuyishan declare the dual world natural and cultural heritage. Wuyi Mountain was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in February 1999, and became the wealth of all mankind. Fiona Fang, the main scenic spot in Wuyishan Scenic Area, covers an area of 70 square kilometers with an average elevation of 350 meters. It is a typical Danxia landform, known as "clear water and green mountains" and "southeast of wonders" It is one of the first national key scenic spots. It was listed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO in 1999 and won the title of "World Nature and Culture". Become the wealth of all mankind.
The beauty of Wuyi lies in the mountains. Due to the ancient crustal movement, gravity collapse, rain erosion and weathering and peeling, strange changes have taken place in the mountain: the peaks and rocks rise and the valleys sink; The mountain color is reddish brown due to geothermal oxidation, and the mountain shape leans eastward due to extrusion. It is the most typical of more than 200 Danxia landforms in China. The movement of the earth's crust makes the strange peaks and rocks here in various shapes, some soaring into the sky, some stretching for miles, some hanging like screens, some standing proudly, some graceful ... As far as the landscape of Wuyishan is concerned, it seems more attractive.
Wuyi's spirituality lies in water. There are many clear springs, waterfalls, mountain streams and streams at the foot of Wuyishan Mountain. The flowing water is like a song, which injects vitality, adds movement and breeds aura for Wuyishan. Among them, the most attractive is Jiuquxi. Jiuquxi originates from the southern foot of Huanggang Mountain in Wuyishan Nature Reserve, with a total length of 60 kilometers and flows through the scenic spot for 9.5 kilometers. The mountains are surrounded by water, and the water travels around the mountains, which has its own customs. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent mountains and rivers and the water color with their heads up on the bow-shaped bamboo raft from Xingcun Wharf. "The winding mountain turns, the peak water keeps flowing", which is a vivid portrayal of Jiuquxi.

1. Huanggang Mountain, the first peak in the southeast of China.
Mount Huanggang, the main peak, is 2158m above sea level, which is the highest peak in the southeast of China and is known as the "roof of East China". On the top of the mountain is the "Huanggang Mountain" monument erected by the Jiangxi Provincial People's Government. Due to the steep mountains and numerous peaks, the area is covered with fog all the year round, with abundant rainfall and warm climate, forming the largest and best-preserved forest ecosystem in the southeast of China. Huanggang Peak belongs to the core area of Wuyishan Nature Reserve. Due to the particularity of the reserve, it is not completely open to the outside world.
2. The natural scenery of Jiuquxi in Wuyishan is unique.
Jiuquxi originated in the west of Wuyi Mountain, with abundant water and clear water quality, with a total length of 62.8 kilometers. It flows through the ecological protection zone in the middle, twists and turns in the Danxia landform in the east, and is distributed in the mountain valley, controlled by the direction of deep faults, forming a deep meander, surrounded by mountains and valleys on all sides. A meander of 9.5 kilometers, with a straight line distance of only 5 kilometers and a curvature of 1.9 kilometers. The banks of Jiuquxi River are typical monoclinic Danxia landforms, with 36 strange peaks and 99 rocks. All the peaks and rocks are tilted at the top, with steep bodies and gentle feet. Looking up to the east, Malik is galloping with great momentum and various forms. The superior climate and habitat put a layer of green clothes on the mountain peak, and the green vegetation grows on the peaks and valleys at the foot of the mountain, creating the wonder of "trees grow on stones" and forming a rare natural landscape of wind.
Jiuquxi 3. Jiuquxi scenery is a model of perfect combination of mountains and rivers.
The meandering Jiuqu River runs through the peaks of Ya Dan, like a pearl jade belt, connecting 36 peaks and 99 rocks. The mountain stands beside the water, and the water flows around the mountain. The height of the peaks and rocks, the width and curvature of the river bed, the speed of the water flow, the size of the field of vision and the angle of view are all excellent, which constitutes the unique beauty of "one stream runs through the mountain and two rocks row the fairy cave". China's traditional poetry and painting are dissolved in the colors of mountains and rivers. You can see the clear water and clear streams when you climb, the strange peaks and rocks when you wade, and you can appreciate the beauty of extraordinary, varied and colorful images when you ride down the river on an antique bamboo raft. You can taste the beauty of spring songs, birds singing, waves canoeing, brown stones and green trees and red flowers; You can see the dynamic beauty of fish, birds and tourists; You can see the misty beauty around the mountains, the waist locked by fog and the peaks covered by rain. It's like walking through the fantastic landscape gallery, listening to the rich and varied symphony chapters, enjoying the unique charm of Yaochi song and dance, and enjoying the beautiful poems with rhythm. You are ecstatic, ecstatic. This is the essence of Wuyishan's natural landscape, which is a must in the world.
The Jiuqu River in Wuyishan is an outstanding representative of the harmony and unity between man and nature.
Nature has endowed Wuyishan with a unique and superior natural environment, attracting scholars, writers and military commanders from all previous dynasties to visit, live in seclusion and write, or learn from teachers in the mountains, wave after wave, you come and go. Natural landscape edifies people's temperament and enlightens people's wisdom. The active exchange of human beings has developed Wuyi Mountain, adding luster to the natural landscape. The wisdom of the ancestors and the obstruction of the scribes left many cultural relics on both sides of the Jiuqu River: the sunken ship of 18 has been hanging on the cliff for thousands of years; There are 35 sites of Confucian Academy, including Zhu, You Zuo, Cai, etc. There are more than 450 ancient cliff stone carvings, which can be called the treasure house of ancient calligraphy art in China. Among them, the ancient government and villagers imposed a 13 ban on Wuyi landscape, animal and plant protection; There are more than 60 temples and temples, and there are Buddhist monks and Taoist priests. These remains are scattered all over the place, such as bright gems, embedded in the streams, peaks and cliffs of Wuyishan, which integrate the wisdom of the ancients, the thoughts of the sages and the labor of the people into the natural landscape, adding a rich cultural atmosphere to Wuyishan, reaching the realm of harmony between man and nature and giving people a harmonious aesthetic feeling. This is extremely rare in many landscapes in China. 1982, Wuyi Mountain, as a famous tourist attraction in China, was included in the first batch of national scenic spots in the name of Wuyishan Scenic Spot in Fujian with the approval of the State Council. On May 8, 2007, Wuyishan Scenic Area in Nanping City was officially approved by the National Tourism Administration as a national 5A-level tourist attraction. Cultural Heritage From a historical and scientific point of view, Wuyishan City has outstanding and universal value, which not only provides a unique witness for the ancient civilization and cultural tradition that have disappeared, but also has a direct and substantial connection with Neo-Confucianism, which conforms to the third and fifth standards of world cultural heritage.
1. The cultural remains of "ancient Fujian and Vietnam" and "Fujian and Vietnam" in Wuyishan are the historical testimony of the ancient civilization that has disappeared.
Wuyishan city is rich in historical and cultural relics. As early as more than 4,000 years ago, ancestors worked and lived here, and gradually formed a unique "ancient Fujian" culture and the subsequent "Fujian and Guangdong" culture in a corner of China, which was famous at home and abroad, and lasted for more than 2,000 years, leaving many cultural relics and historical sites. The cultural characteristics of this period are mainly "building coffins for ships", "Hongqiao Board" and the site of the Wang Cheng of Fujian and Vietnam in the Han Dynasty, which covers an area of 480,000 square meters.
The coffin and Hongqiao board in the cliff cave in the east of Wuyishan are the burial tools of ancient ancestors, which have been more than 3000 years since. The cotton piece in the coffin is the earliest cotton textile discovered in China so far. Wuyi Jiahe Boat Coffin is the oldest hanging coffin found in China. Therefore, Wuyi Mountain is regarded by archaeologists as the birthplace of hanging coffin burial custom, and its physical objects are extremely precious materials for studying the history of China before Qin Dynasty and the disappearing ancient Fujian culture.
The site of Seoul covers an area of 480,000 square meters and is of great historical, cultural and research value. It is the most complete preserved site of the ancient city of Han Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River in China, and it is unique in site selection, architectural technology and style. It is a typical representative of ancient southern cities in China and occupies an important position in the architectural history of China and the world. At present, a large number of precious cultural relics have been excavated, such as daily pottery, ceramic building materials, tiles, iron bronzes and so on. They respectively represented the advanced productive forces at that time, embodied the highest level of Chinese civilization, and provided important physical materials for studying the rise and fall of Fujian and Yue nationalities in Han Dynasty and the history of economic and cultural development in the south of the Yangtze River.
2. Zhu (1 130- 1200) is the greatest thinker, philosopher and educator in China history after Confucius.
He collected the academic thoughts below Confucius, formed the outstanding representative of Confucianism-Zhuzi Neo-Confucianism, and was appointed as the official orthodox philosophical thought, and constructed the ideological system and theory that has been dominant in China for more than 700 years from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty (13rd century to the 20th century), representing the traditional national spirit with universal significance, influencing as far as East Asia, Europe and America, and becoming the embodiment of East Asian civilization. Up to now, Japanese Zhuzi School and Korean Zhuzi School (Pushing the West School) are still preserved abroad, attracting experts and scholars from dozens of countries to devote themselves to the study of Neo-Confucianism. There are doctoral research institutes in Zhuzi in universities such as Trier University in Germany, Leiden University in the Netherlands, Stockholm in Sweden, Columbia University in the United States, Harvard and Hawaii. From 65438 to 0982, four Zhu International Seminars were held in Hawaii, Xiamen, Wuyishan and Taipei to discuss the origin and development of Neo-Confucianism culture and Confucianism and the realistic influence of Zhu Neo-Confucianism.
Wuyishan is closely related to Zhu's Neo-Confucianism. Zhu's Neo-Confucianism was conceived, formed and developed in Wuyishan. Zhu studied, wrote, taught and lived in Wuyishan for more than 50 years from the age of 14 to his death at the age of 7 1. Zhu's Neo-Confucianism germinated, matured and spread here. The Wuyi Jingshe Academy, founded by Zhu in Wuyishan, became the most influential academy at that time. There were more than 200 scholars studying directly in Wuyishan, many of whom became famous Neo-Confucianism scholars and formed an influential Neo-Confucianism school. Under the influence of Zhu, the neo-Confucians of all ages took preaching and teaching as their own responsibility, and chose to build houses on the foundation at the foot of Wuyishan River to write about Christians. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties alone, 43 famous scholars founded academies in Wuyishan, making Wuyishan a famous Neo-Confucianism mountain. Professor, a famous historian in China, praised: "Born in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Zhu was born in the Southern Song Dynasty. China ancient culture, Mount Tai and Wuyi ". The activities of Zhu, his disciples and descendants in Wuyishan have left extremely precious cultural relics for Wuyishan, such as Wuyi Jingshe, where the academy is located, philosophical inscriptions such as "the development of the dead", "self-cultivation-oriented" and "moving with wisdom" written by Zhu, and the "Wuyi tombstone" founded by Zhu. These cultural remains are very precious for studying the rise and fall of Zhu's Neo-Confucianism and Confucianism, as well as the ideal history of China's philosophy, and they are the treasures of China's traditional culture. Compared with other similar areas and heritages in terms of ecology, landscape, history and culture, Wuyishan has the following outstanding features:
Evergreen broad-leaved forest is a type of vegetation distributed in subtropical areas on the east coast of mainland China. According to the regional distribution pattern, it can be divided into evergreen broad-leaved forests in Asia, America, Africa and Oceania, among which China evergreen broad-leaved forest in Asia is the most widely distributed, located at 23 40 ′-32 N, 99-123 E and1000-2800 M above sea level. The climate difference is obvious, and the subtropical evergreen forest accounts for 3% of the evergreen broad-leaved forest area in China. There are mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests marked by FAGACEAE, Lauraceae, Theaceae, Magnoliaceae, Hamamelidaceae and Elaeagnaceae in this area, which are typical representatives of evergreen broad-leaved forests. Wuyishan evergreen broad-leaved forest is the most typical evergreen broad-leaved forest in China, with the richest species and the most complete forest ecosystem.
Compared with the landscape of similar heritage sites in China, Huangshan Mountain is majestic, Emei Mountain is majestic and Taishan Mountain is ancient, but these heritage sites are all mountain scenery, or there are mountains without water, or there is water that can't be traveled by boat, or there are few scenery, or the scenery is lacking. Wuyishan, on the other hand, is a combination of mountains and rivers, which is not only "strange, beautiful and ancient", but also reaches a wonderful realm in the close combination of mountains and rivers and the harmonious unity of humanity and nature. Qingbi meanders around the mountain. Typical Danxia single-sided mountain, massive mountain and columnar mountain stand by and watch the water in various forms. There are more than 3,000 years of ancient cultural relics scattered in foothills and caves on rock walls. There is a strong cultural atmosphere in the natural landscape. Tourists take a simple and light bamboo raft down the river, quickly jump over the dangerous beach, slowly drift across the deep pool, enjoy the scenery of Wuyi River and pay tribute to the cultural relics on both sides of the strait. They can enjoy not only the poems of Guilin, but also the breathtaking scenery of Bai Sheng beach, which is amazing. This unique resource is unmatched by other heritages.
Compared with similar historical and cultural remains, among the dozens of hanging coffins in the Yangtze River basin and Southeast Asia in China, the Wuyishan Jiahe boat coffin is the earliest and the most primitive in shape. Many cultural relics unearthed from the site of the Western Han Dynasty in Wuyishan are among the best of its kind in China, including the largest patterned hollow brick, the longest iron spear, the heaviest iron plow, the heaviest iron mortar and pivot, the earliest iron harpoon, straight pottery pipes and luxurious baths in the palace. There is also the iron five-toothed rake that was only seen at the same time. These cultural relics represented the highest level of civilization in China at that time.
In the cultural history of China, Wuyishan and Taishan have their own merits. Mount Tai gave birth to Confucius, who was a master of ancient academic thoughts, initiated Confucianism and became the main pillar of China's cultural tradition. Wuyishan created Zhu, who integrated the following academic thoughts of Confucius and built a complete Confucian system-Zhuzi Neo-Confucianism, which became the orthodox thought of China's feudal society after 700 years. Therefore, scholars at home and abroad generally believe that the greatest influence in China's cultural history, traditional history, ideological history, educational history and ethical code history is to push Confucius before Zhu. Throughout history, I'm afraid there is no third person like you. Confucianism, with its own Zhuzi and later Confucius, gained vitality and developed a new spirit only in modern times.
