Hello, friends! Now we have arrived at Jiuhua Mountain scenic spot. Firstof all, I would like to introduce you to the general situation of Jiuhuamountain scenery.
Jiuhua Mountain, located in Qingyang County, South Anhui Province, is oneof the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Liu Yuxi, a writer of the TangDynasty, praised Jiuhua Mountain after climbing it. He thought that the famousmountains in the world could not compete with Jiuhua Mountain. Li Bai went toMount Jiuhua three times. Jiuhua Mountain is characterized by beautifulmountains and numerous Buddhist temples.
As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty (401), temples began to be built on themountain. Since then, they have been added and expanded to form "one smalltemple in three li and one big temple in five li". The temples spread all overthe mountain. It is said that there were more than 300 temples with 4500 monksin their heyday. At the moment, there are still 50 or 60 temples in completepreservation.
When you visit Jiuhua Mountain, you first go to Jiuhua street, which ismore than 600 meters above sea level. It is the center of Jiuhua Mountain, andtemples are mainly concentrated there, so it is called "Lotus Buddha kingdom".It is actually a village on the mountain. Besides temples, there are shops,schools, hotels and farmhouses. Visitors can stay there and take it as astarting point to visit the scenic spots on the mountain.
Huacheng temple on Jiuhua street is the oldest ancient temple of JinDynasty in Jiuhua Mountain. It is also the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain. Thearchitecture of the temple is arranged according to the mountain situation,reflecting the superb art of architectural design. In the temple, there is anancient clock which is more than ten feet high and weighs about 20__ Jin. It isexquisitely cast and has a loud voice. It is struck with a mallet. The solemnand clear sound of the bell reverberates in the valley, which often makes peoplefeel extraordinarily refined. "Huacheng evening clock" has become one of the"Jiuhua ten sceneries".
Not far from the east of Jiuhua street, there is a hall built on the cliff,which is the famous "centenary Palace". On the plaque, there are ten goldcharacters: "imperial grant to the centenary palace, protect the country WannianTemple". It is said that in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was amonk named Wuxu. At the age of 26, he came to Jiuhua Mountain and spent 100years in a rare cave. Three years after his death, his body was found in thecave. The monk on the mountain thought that he was reincarnated, so he offeredhis body in gold.
Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty granted him the title of "YingshenBodhisattva". As a result, the small temple dedicated to him flourished, and thetemple expanded to become one of the four jungles in Jiuhua Mountain. Visitorscan see the golden body of a flawless monk in a monk's hat, red cassock andlotus platform in the body Hall of the temple.
Jiuhua scenery is on the roof. Tiantai peak is the main peak of JiuhuaMountain, with an altitude of more than 1300 meters. There is a saying that "ifyou don't get on the roof, you don't come.". From the rooftop of Jiuhua street,about 15 Huali mountain road, along the road through many scenic spots. When youare out of breath and reach the top of the roof, the scenery in front of youwill make you open-minded and tired. All around the mountains crawling, lookingat Jiuhua street, only palm so big. Looking from afar, heaven and earth areintegrated, and the Yangtze River is indistinctly visible.
The clear mountain wind brings waves of pines and bamboos, which makespeople intoxicated. The surrounding rocks are strange in shape and mostly dark.There is a huge stone engraved with the word "non human". At this moment, itreally makes people feel like they are in the fairyland of Penglai. It is saidthat watching the sunrise on the rooftop is no less magnificent than watchingthe sunrise on Mount Tai.
