Happiness lies in misfortune; misfortune lies in happiness. Hello,everyone! Lao Tzu, a famous thinker in the spring and Autumn period, told usthat happiness and misfortune are relative, and there are gains and losses. Sonow that you have come to Quanzhou, which is known as "Zou Lu on the seashore",don't worry about complaining about anything else. Open your hearts and let melead you to relax and visit today!
Quanzhou, a famous cultural city with a long history, once popular brightcultural relics, can you enjoy it again in today's tour?
Good! Dear group members, with this problem, you can say it is desire.First of all, let's visit the Qingyuan mountain in Quanzhou.
Qingyuan mountain scenic area consists of Qingyuan mountain, jiuri mountainand Lingshan holy tomb, covering a total area of 62 square kilometers. The mainpeak of Qingyuan mountain scenic spot is 498 meters above sea level. Qingyuanmountain is named after an immortal. What immortal has such affinity with it?This will involve a legend! We all know that one of the eight immortals iscalled tie Guai Li, right? It's said that when Li Tieguai wandered here andstopped on the top of the mountain to have a rest, he saw the beautiful sceneryof the blue ocean and green plains, the green pines and cypresses on themountain, and the winding paths leading to seclusion. This made Li Tieguai happyto hold up his crutch and point the ground. He cried out: wonderful, wonderful!But this crutch, because of too much force, went deep into the bottom for a fewfeet, and burst out of the clear spring! As a result of many springs, latergenerations called it "Quanshan", and Quanzhou also got its name. Later, itgradually evolved into Qingyuan mountain, which was also known as "Qiyunmountain" because of the high mountain into the cloud; located in the northernsuburbs, it was also known as "Beishan"; because of the confrontation of peaks,it was also known as "Santai mountain".
When it comes to mount Santai, you may think of Mount Wutai, a famousBuddhist mountain. Like Mount Wutai, there have been three schools of"Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism" competing to occupy and operate mountQingyuan in Quanzhou since the Tang Dynasty, and then it has gradually developedinto a famous cultural mountain with a variety of religions.
Good! Members of the group! Please follow my steps! Now we come to thisunique laojunyan Mountain Gate. The second level platform in front of us is inthe shape of a curved ruler, which is a deformation pattern of Taiji Yin Yangeight trigrams. Eight big seal characters are engraved on the natural stonestanding in front of us. Can you guess what they are? OK, I'll read it to you,"green ox goes to the west, purple spirit comes to the East." it's an allusionabout Laozi! According to records, in the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, LaoTzu abandoned Zhou and lived in seclusion. He rode a green ox out of Hangu pass.Guan Lingyi liked to see Ziqi coming from the East. He expected a saint to passthe pass. He was really a saint Lao Tzu. Yi Xi had heard a lot about Lao Tzu andasked him to write something for him before he could pass the pass. So Lao Tzuwrote a masterpiece --- Tao Te Ching. Good! Do you see the words on it, gate ofwonders? This is Laozi's famous saying. The stone windows of the mountain gateare made of granite, and the window decorations are intricate! Now when we walkinto the mountain gate, you can see a shady stone path with separated banyantrees on both sides. Now follow me to step on this quiet stone path. OK, let'srelax, close our eyes, hold our breath, and then look at these banyan roots likeLaozi's long beard. Will they be like entering a fairyland?
We continue to move forward with this kind of artistic conception, sayingthat there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers, OK! Myfriends, the stone sculpture in front of us now is the statue of Laojun, whichhas the reputation of "Laozi is the first in the world". It is the largest, mostunique and oldest Taoist stone sculpture in China! Who is Lao Jun? Ah! It'sLaozi I just mentioned! Who carved it? According to the records of QuanzhouPrefecture, "the stone statues are made in heaven, and the good ones are carvedslightly." It turns out to be a natural rock shaped like an old man. It was madeby folk craftsmen with a little skill. The stone statue is 5.63 meters high,6.85 meters thick and 8.01 meters wide, with a floor area of 55 square meters.If you look at it carefully, it sits on the ground with its left hand on itsknees and its right hand on a few feet. Its eyes are smiling, its countenance isbright, its expression is amiable, its eyes are deep and wise, and it is full ofwarm human feelings. There is no sanctimonious and majestic immortal posture atall. Among the people, this stone statue of Laozi is also a symbol of health andlongevity. There is a dialect in Quanzhou: "touch the nose, eat one hundred andtwo; touch the eyes, eat one hundred and six." It means, who can touch Lao Jun'snose, can live 120, touch his eyes, can live 160. Of course! Don't really climbup and touch it. The stone statue is protected!
Members of the group, immortals can fly in the clouds, but we can't fly inthe clouds, we have to travel carefully. Here are more attractions for us towatch slowly!
