Xinmi has a total area of 1,001 square kilometers, which is not a large area in the county-level administrative area.
Summarized as: There is a river is not long, the Qinhu Ershui contained in the Book of Poetry was also a vast soup, and now only a trickle is left, the longest is not more than 30 kilometers; although there are mountains that are famous but not high, there are Fuxi in the north and Guzi in the south, all of which are the remnants of the Song Mountains, and the highest altitude is not more than 1000 meters.
Fuxi Mountains in the north of Xinmi
However, the land of Xinmi is full of thousands of legends and cultural relics.
"The mountains are not high, the water is not deep", since the Neolithic Age, the Pei Ligang culture of Gugou, the Yangshao culture of the ancient city village, and the Longshan culture of the Xinzhu site have continued to develop and continue to develop. The Qinhu River Basin is the area where the ancestors of humanity, Fuxi and the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, opened the land of Hongmeng, clarified the place of heaven, and created Chinese civilization.
In Xinmi, there is such a scenery, according to existing documents, from the Song to the Qing, there were 37 ancient people who repeatedly chanted 56 poems, and it is related to the Yellow Emperor culture, which is the White Pine, White Pine Monument and Tianxian Temple in Chengguan Town.
White pine, whitebark pine, a tree species endemic to China, has a clear trunk, or from the near base part of the trunk into a number of stems (this is the protagonist of this article "white pine" shape key), wide tower-shaped to umbrella-shaped canopy; young bark smooth gray-green, after growing up the bark pieces off to reveal pale yellow-green new bark, the old bark is light brownish gray or gray-white, split into pieces off, after shedding nearly smooth, revealing the pink-white endothel.

The white pine that has been chanted repeatedly is of course a giant pine that can reach the green earth.
The Qing Dynasty poet Li Guoliang's poem "White Pine" depicts the ancient vigor, prosperity and purity of the white pine.
Why is the white pine that lives in a small temple in Xinmi popular for centuries, and the literati and scholars who worship and sing praise, or the purity of the chant or the nobility of the chant, or the three looks at its head or the wanderings, the local gentry statue recorded, how many historical legends and stories are hidden behind this white pine, and how can it illuminate Kyushu and enter the annals of history?!
Originally, this pine was said to be a phantom object of the joint burial of the three daughters of the Yellow Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor was not a mortal, so his daughter was naturally also a fairy, namely the Heavenly Immortal, the Earth Immortal, and the Human Immortal. According to legend, ren xianyuan planted silkworms with his mother's ancestors, and the uncles such as the earth immortals practiced martial arts with the wind and li mu, and then they all practiced with the heavenly immortals, and after 17 years, they finally became positive fruits, ascended to heaven on the same day, and were buried here, and the next year, A white pine (legend is said to be the embodiment of the three immortals in the human world) was born on the tomb, which lasted for thousands of years, with branches moving and lush leaves.
Now, there are still tall mounds in the backyard of the Tianxian Temple, called the "Three Female Tombs".
In addition to the traveler, geographer, explorer, and literary scholar Xu Xiake who left ink treasures for Bai Song, it is well documented that 37 poets have gone forward and followed the ink and tourism vanes of their predecessors, facing an ancient tree, talking about the past and the present, being passionate, elegant for a while, and leaving a name for posterity.

As can be seen above, the Ming Dynasty left the most white pine poems, for the officials, for the people, from the south to the north, at this time Mixian may be a world-famous tourist destination, the tourism industry reached its peak.
4 people in the Qing Dynasty.
Shunzhi Jinshi Yang Sisheng, who was a political envoy of Henan Province, resigned and returned to the Chaohua Temple of Maolin Xiuzhu and Quanying Pagoda, and the Tianxian Temple, which is not far away, must have been a place visited by a group of their travelers, leaving a poem "White Pine"; Zhao Yuzhong, Luanchuan, Ju Chaohua, a poem "Titled White Pine"; Zhang Yujie, a native of Luyi, Henan, Shunzhi Engong, who served as a priest in Mixian County. This is a true love fan of Mixian County, the only one to sweep away the "Eight Views of Ancient Secrets" and leave a series of poems in the "Eight Views of Ancient Secrets", titled "Heavenly Immortal White Pine"; Li Zhilan, a native of Tielingwei in Liaodong (now Liaoyang City, Liaoning), is a tribute. Shunzhi served as the county commander of Mixian County for five years, which is a famous Qing official recorded in the Mixian County Chronicle, when repairing and reforming the old, hoeing strong and suppressing evil, and erecting a shrine for it. Titled "Two Poems of White Pine".
The above is the author of the White Pine poems whose ages and characters can be examined.
There are also 15 authors of Bai Song poems with unknown information, including Zhou Chuanxuan, Huang Wendan, Wang Shijie, Wu Qiongyao, Zhu Yingyi, Zhang Dingzhi, Zhang Yanji, Yang Bi, Jin Lijing, Zha Lizhi, Liu Yuyou, Wang Yehong, Liu Guojin, Nanjun Playing Yishanren, and Cao Yiqiu.
From the above poets' data, it can be seen that the earliest record is the poem of Li Pu in the first year of Song Shao (about 1190), the latest is Li Zhilan of Mixian County during the Qing Shunzhi period, and further ahead, perhaps the manuscript is lost, perhaps it is the Mixian County at that time that few tourists visit; and after that, it is because of the white pine that stands for thousands of years and has a thin branch and a jade skin quality, and during the Qing Kangxi period, it was destroyed by the fierce wind, and the roots were all uprooted, and it has long ceased to exist. Therefore, after the Kangxi year, there was no longer a white pine, and naturally there was no object of singing that the heart longed for. The above 15 unknown authors inscribed poems should be dated before the Kangxi Year at the latest.
The Temple of the Heavenly Immortals and the White Pine should be the first three female tombs, the latter white pines, and the last Heavenly Immortal Temple.
A large hall dedicated to the three immortals of "Heavenly Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Human Immortals"
The Temple was originally built in the first year of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1522) to the second year of Emperor Ming Muzong Longqing (1568), and was rebuilt five times in the Qing Dynasty. The architectural pattern is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and rear. The Heavenly Immortal Hall is in the front yard, and the three daughters of the Yellow Emperor are enshrined inside: Ren Xian, Di Xian, and Tianxian; the three female tombs are in the south of the Middle Courtyard, about 3 meters high and 30 meters in the bottom circumference; the Renzu Hall is in the north of the Middle Courtyard, and the Inner Ancestral Hall is dedicated to the Yellow Emperor, Fenghou, Li Mu, Chang Xian, and Dahong; the Jade Emperor Hall is in the backyard, and the Jade Emperor is inside.
The Ancestral Hall of the Tianxian Temple
The White Pine of the Tianxian Temple does not exist, and the temple building was destroyed decades ago, and the existing building was restored by the people according to the old regulations. The three female tombs are still the same, the mounds are green and verdant, and there are two monuments in front of the tombs, "Three Female Tombs" and "White Pine Monuments", all of which are modern carved and revered.
Now Tianxian Temple "Three Female Tombs and Tombstones"
Historically, the original "Tianxian White Pine Diagram" stele was twice: the original stele was carved in the Ming Dynasty, and the height was 1. 5 meters, width 0. 7 meters, standing under the east wall of the White Pine Tower, the remaining half of the stele is now stored in the Zhengzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology. The replica inscription was carved in the eleventh year of Ming Chongzhen, and the height is 1. 8 meters, width 0. 87 meters, originally standing in the old city of Mixian Guandi Temple, now existing in the new Mi old city a middle shadow wall.

There is a ming dynasty replica of the White Pine Stele in XinmiYi
In order to find the White Pine Monument in the Old City, it is also quite arduous, first of all, there must be a teacher in the school to dredge the doorman to enter, enter the teachers and students, but do not know what the White Pine Monument is, Mingzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Four to The Monument is erected on the side of the road, handed down from the Ming Dynasty, singing the products of thousands of years of Yellow Emperor culture, in the "most cultural atmosphere" campus, but it is turned a blind eye.

Looking back at the visit to the Tianxian Temple, I was even more miserable in my heart, and the so-called Zhengzhou municipal cultural security unit had fallen into such a situation. Brother Ma on duty opened the door lock of the main hall for me one by one, and the three ladies and ladies of heavenly immortals, earth immortals, and human immortals lived in the dark and forced the main hall, looming, and the three female tombs in the middle courtyard were covered with moss, and the tombstones were crooked and even more desolate. Originally, two new white pines were planted in the backyard, one of which was one dry and three branches, but Brother Ma actually cut off two branches by mistake, and he still regrets it.
Brother Ma in the Tianxian Temple opened the locked door of the main hall for me
I think that in those days, the literati and scholars gathered in the Temple of Heavenly Immortals, hanging the ancient emperor's daughter, and repeatedly chanting the towering white pine. Thinking about it now, the emperor Wang Hua, who is known as "Tianxiang doubts to fall from the clouds, and Xian Peiyao returns from the next moon", finally reveals the fate of "the moon and night with the crane dance, the frost sky cangjia white dragon flag" to destroy the fate of the fate of the fallen and cold.
