Jiuhua Mountain is located in Chizhou City, Anhui Province. It is the mainscenic spot of the "two mountains and one lake" golden tourist area in AnhuiProvince. It has beautiful scenery and numerous ancient temples. It is alsoknown as the four famous Buddhist mountains in China with Mount Emei in Sichuan,Mount Wutai in Shanxi and Mount Putuo in Zhejiang.
Jiuhua Mountain was not originally called Jiuhua Mountain. It was calledJiuzi mountain in the Tang Dynasty, because Jiuhua Mountain has beautiful e are nine peaks above the clouds, so there are nine Jiuzi mountains. Duringthe reign of Tang Tianbao, Li Bai, the immortal poet, had been here twice. Hewrote down such ancient lines as "wonderful is divided into two parts, Lingshanopens Jiuhua, Tianhe hangs green water, and shows jiufurong". Jiuhua Mountaingot its name and has been used to this day.
Jiuhua Mountain has a long history of religious activities. Taoism firstdeveloped in Jiuhua Mountain, and Buddhism became more prosperous. During theKaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, King qiaojue, the prince of Silla, sailedeastward to visit famous mountains, and finally chose to practice in our JiuhuaMountain. Sleep in the cave on the mountain at night, drink the mountain springwater when thirsty, and eat the wild plants when hungry. Finally, at the age of99, he passed away. Buddhist circles believe that he practiced hard before hisdeath, and after his death, he was consistent with the Bodhisattva of Tibetansrecorded in the Buddhist scriptures. He was respected as the Bodhisattva ofTibetans. Because his family name was Jin when he was not a monk, he was alsocalled Jin Tibetans. Since then, Jiuhua Mountain has been established as theTaoist center of the Bodhisattva. After the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhistdeclaration of Jiuhua Mountain gradually came into being. By the end of the QingDynasty, there were more than 150 temples in the whole mountain, includingZhiyuan temple, Dongya temple, baishuigong temple and Ganlu temple.
Next, we first enter the Jiuhua Street scenic area, and the first thing wesee is a stone gate square. It is carved out of marble, 9 meters high, and is animitation of the Hui style architecture of the Qing Dynasty. The banner isengraved with the four characters "Jiuhua Shengjing" written by Emperor e are stone lions carved under the two pillars of the middle gate. The gateis dignified and elegant. After passing the gate, you can see Yingxian bridge was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. It is a single holestone arch bridge. Now, please follow me to step on this ancient bridge andenter the fairyland together!
You see, the front of the bridge is the main hall of Zhiyuan uan temple is a national key temple. Its scale is the largest in the fourjungles of Jiuhua Mountain. It is composed of more than ten single buildings,such as mountain gate, Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, guest hall, lecture hall andSutra collection building. It is a typical composite building. Its Mountain Gatedeviates from the central axis of the hall. Do you know why? Because, ah, it'svery particular to set the Mountain Gate askew. First, it's to ward off evilspirits. Second, it's toward kaishanzu temple and Huacheng temple. The main hallis decorated with glass and green tiles, and the eaves are tilted. It has a veryprominent position. There is a stone carving on the front wall of the temple, onwhich the five big characters of "Tai Shan Shi Gan Dang" are very 's guess what it is for? In fact, this is unique to Zhiyuan temple, which isused to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons.
Entering the mountain gate is Lingguan hall. When you enter the hall, youcan see Wang Lingguan standing in the shrine with red face and red beard, eyeswide open and iron whip high. Wang Lingguan is the Dharma protector of can he protect the Dharma here? It is said that Wei Tuo, the Dharmaprotector of Buddhism, made the mistake of "killing" and was "dismissed" by theBodhisattva of Tibet, leaving Wang Lingguan in charge. This reflects the meaningof "cooperation" between Buddhism and Taoism, which is probably the only one inthe country.
From Lingguan hall to a small courtyard, there is a pavilion style squaredouble eaves hall, resting on the top of the mountain. There are four statues ofheavenly kings inside, which are called heavenly kings hall. In the middle nichesits Maitreya Buddha, who is always smiling and tolerant. "A bowl of rice forthousands of families, traveling thousands of miles alone" is his two verses. Onboth sides are four statues of the heavenly king.
Lingguan hall and Tianwang hall are on the same platform, and on theplatform of a higher level, there is a great hall. In the main hall, on thefront, there stands the third Buddha about 12 meters high. Under the seat is thegreen lotus seat, and under the seat is the Xumi seat (also known as the diamondplatform). The carving is exquisite. On the front of the offering table, thereis a large relief of the story of "monk Tang's taking scriptures". In front ofthe statue of the Buddha, the monk who presided over the Dharma Association wentto worship the Buddha.
OK, after visiting Zhiyuan temple, we are now at the center of Jiuhuastreet. What you can see is Huacheng temple, the Kaishan ancestral temple ofJiuhua Mountain. There is a saying in Buddhist Scripture that "refers to thecity of the earth". Huacheng temple is located in the southwest of Huacheng peakin Jiuhua Mountain and in the center of Huacheng basin. Huacheng temple has along history. It was built in the Jin Dynasty, and it is also the main temple ofJiuhua Mountain. The architecture of the temple is arranged according to themountain situation, reflecting the superb art of architectural design. In thetemple, there is an ancient clock which is more than ten feet high and weighsabout 20__ Jin. It is exquisitely cast and has a loud voice. It is struck with amallet. The solemn and clear sound of the bell reverberates in the valley, whichoften makes people feel extraordinarily refined. "Huacheng evening clock" hasbecome one of the "Jiuhua ten sceneries".
After the rise and fall of the ancient temple, it still stands in the longriver of time. There are four existing dwellings, the first three are QingDynasty buildings: one is Lingguan hall, the second is Tianwang hall, and thethird is Daxiong hall. 2、 Among the three entrances, there is a huge four waterpatio, which means "four water Guiming hall". The main hall is full of woodenwindows and doors, and the lintel is carved with ice lattice. The relief of"Jiulong Panzhu" in Dingzhong caisson is an art treasure. Sijin Sutra house isthe only Ming Dynasty building in Jiuhua Mountain, which has been restored toits original appearance recently. Huacheng Temple gradually rises according tothe terrain, with rigorous structure, simple and elegant, basically preservingthe original style of kaishanzu temple.
Under the stone steps of Huacheng temple, there are a pair of stone lionsin Song Dynasty, one female and one male, which are ancient and clumsy. There isa release pool in the front, crescent shaped. It is said that it was excavatedby jindizang when he led the disciples to build Huacheng temple. It is not onlyfor the fire prevention of the temple, but also for the release of monks andpilgrims. In front of the pool is a flat and open Huacheng square. In thesquare, there is a "Niangniang tower" base made of stone bars, which is inmemory of jindizang's mother. It is said that after learning about zhuoxiJiuhua, jindizang's mother trekked thousands of miles to find her son back inthe mountains. She thought about her son for a long time, and her eyes weregoing to be blind. Jindizang used spring water from a well beside the square towash his mother's eyes, and cured her mother's eye disease. Jin dizangattentively waited on his mother and told her about Buddhism. She wasenlightened and finally stayed in the mountain to help her son protect theBuddha. Later generations built a memorial tower in the square, which is called"Niangniang tower". However, some people in Jiuhua Mountain also call"Niangniang tower" to commemorate Jin dizang's wife before he became a her mother or wife, the legend of "Niangniang tower" is beautiful.

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. Later, they were added and expanded to form "one small temple in threeli, one big temple in five li". The temples spread all over the mountain. It issaid that there were more than 300 temples with 4500 monks in the prosperousperiod. At present, there are still 50 or 60 intact temples.
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 here, so it is called "Lotus Buddha kingdom" is actually a village on the mountain. Besides temples, there are shops,schools, hotels and farmhouses. Visitors can stay here and take it as a startingpoint 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"Yingshen Bodhisattva". As a result, the small temple dedicated to himflourished, and the temple expanded to become one of the four jungles in JiuhuaMountain. Visitors can see the golden body of the flawless monk in the temple'sbody hall, wearing a monk's hat and red cassock, sitting on the lotus stand.
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 mountainwind brings waves of pines and bamboos, which makes people intoxicated. Thesurrounding rocks are strange in shape and mostly dark. There is a huge stoneengraved with the word "non human". At this moment, it really makes people feellike they are in the fairyland of Penglai. It is said that watching the sunriseon the rooftop is no less magnificent than watching the sunrise on Mount efore, "Tiantai xiaori" is listed as one of the "ten sceneries ofJiuhua".
Jiuhua Mountain is a fascinating lotus kingdom. It is characterized bysplendid Buddhist culture and wonderful natural landscape. It is a national keyscenic spot of mountain type for sightseeing, viewing and carrying outscientific and cultural activities. Since the reform and opening up, Foshan, anancient city, has bathed in the sunrise of the flourishing age, with newappearance and vitality. Now it is a national AAAA tourist area and a nationalcivilized scenic spot demonstration site. Jiuhua Mountain is located in thesoutheast of Chizhou City. It is the brand of Chizhou tourism, the pride ofChizhou people, and a bright pearl in the scenic spot of "two mountains and onelake" in Anhui Province. In order to make the famous mountain more beautiful andmore advanced in international tourism, the Management Committee of JiuhuaMountain scenic area has guided and organized relevant departments to compilethis book. The comrades of the Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist Culture ResearchAssociation, especially some veteran comrades, retired and worked hard tocomplete the compilation task in a very short time. This kind of spirit is veryvaluable. I sincerely respect them. This book is informative, rich in content,lively in form and rich in pictures and texts. It is accurate, vivid,scientific, knowledgeable and interesting. It is suitable for tour guides tolearn and use, and can also be read and appreciated by tourists. I believe thatthe publication of this book will bring you into the realm of Jiuhuashanculture, which is profound, long-standing and wonderful. I have worked inChizhou for many years and deeply love Jiuhua Mountain. I would like to extendmy heartfelt congratulations on the publication of this book.
"The God of Jiuhua" is the feeling left by Yan Zhen, a contemporary poet,when he revisited Jiuhua Mountain in July this year. The long history ofBuddhism, beautiful natural scenery, mysterious physical phenomenon and peculiarregional culture have made the famous mountains colorful and charming.
Tour guide words and scenic spots of famous mountains are just like thefinishing touch of dragon painting. In the face of such a famous mountain asJiuhua Mountain, a good tour guide word can help you listen to its historicalecho, trace its cultural origin, and listen to its wonderful legends; it canlead you to visit the traces of celebrities, appreciate the profundity ofBuddhism, and feel the legend of the flesh. In a word, a good tour guide is likea window and a bridge. Through it, you can enhance your pleasure and guide youinto Jiuhua Mountain for sightseeing and exploration.
However, for a long time, there have been many kinds of tour guide words inJiuhua Mountain, and sometimes there are several different versions of the samescenic spot, which makes tourists and pilgrims confused. What's more, thehistorical anecdotes of Jiuhua Mountain were picked up at random, so as toinfluence the image of Jiuhua Mountain. Two years ago, at the beginning of mywork in Jiuhua Mountain, director Gao Weiqing of the provincial tourismadministration asked me to organize the compilation of a standardized tourguide. With the strong support of all walks of life, several comrades of theJiuhua Mountain Buddhist Culture Research Association, especially the retiredold comrades, worked hard and kept on writing, which finally made the JiuhuaMountain tour guide come out. Here, I would like to express my deep gratitude toall the authors.
Jiuhuashan tour guide's speech is about 140000 words. It is well quoted andfull of historical materials. It is not only subtle but also easy to the same time, it imitates tour guide. It is catchy and fascinating. Itintegrates knowledge, interest and practicality. It is an innovative work. It isbelieved that the publication of this book can rectify the source, eliminate theturnip and save the turnip. It will promote the unification and standardizationof Jiuhuashan tour guide's explanation, and play a role in strengtheningJiuhuashan's external publicity and enhancing its influence.
Jiuhua culture has a long history, broad and profound, which can not besummarized by a tour guide. It needs to be explored and sorted out by the nizing the compilation of tour guide words is an attempt in the culturalconstruction of scenic spots. It is inevitable that there are omissions. Wewelcome your advice.
Friends: I'm the tour guide of Jiuhuashan (__) travel agency. Welcome toAnhui Jiuhuashan.
Now we come to the body palace of Jiuhua Mountain. When we talk about thebody palace of Jiuhua Mountain, we have to mention one person. This man, Jinqiaojue, is a foreigner. He comes from ancient Silla, which is today thesoutheast of the Korean Peninsula. According to historical records, Jin qiaojuewas a prince of Silla. At the age of 24, he cut his hair to become a monk andsailed from Silla to China. He traveled all over the famous mountains and riversin China, and finally settled down in Jiuhua Mountain to practice. And inaccordance with the vow of Bodhisattva dizang: "hell is not empty, vow not tobecome a Buddha.". During his practice in Jiuhua Mountain, Jin qiaojue subduedthe beasts and collected herbs. While he was treating the people on themountain, he preached sutras and widely practiced Buddhism, which was deeplyloved by the people. Jin qiaojue gradually became famous and received manydisciples. Even local officials went up to the mountain to listen to Buddhismand recite his deeds to the imperial court. As a result, more and more peoplefollow Jin qiaojue. Because of the high mountains, dense forests and littleland, the monks could not support themselves with food, so they had to eatguanyintu. Because of long-term malnutrition, people at that time called Jinqiaojue "haggard monk" and his disciples "haggard people". However, the moredifficult it was, the more firm Jin qiaojue's faith was and the more respectedhe was. Even the monks of Silla came to follow him one after another. Afterninety-nine years old as like as two peas, Jin Qiaojue died, and the body hadnot rotted for three years. His face was just like before his death. Thesesupernatural phenomena are similar to those of the Tibetan king Bodhisattvarecorded in the Buddhist scriptures. It happened that jinqiaojue was namedjindizang, so Buddhism confirmed him as the reincarnation of the Bodhisattvaking of dizang. People built pagodas and tombs to worship him. Since then,Jiuhua Mountain has become a well-known Taoist Center for the king ofTibetans.
Now I'd like to explain to you the meaning of the "body" offered by the"body Palace". Flesh body, originally meant to be the flesh and blood ofparents. The so-called "body" of Buddhism refers to the body of the eminent monkafter his death. Although his body has gone through a long period of time, ithas not been decayed and festered, and has maintained its original shape andlifelike. Only monks and nuns who have reached a very high level of practice canform a physical body. The body is different from the "Mummy" in Egypt. Inancient Egypt, the funeral ceremony was very simple, just digging a shallow pitin the desert to bury. Due to the dry desert climate, the body quicklydehydrated when it came into contact with the hot sand, the bacteria werekilled, and the mummy was formed by natural action. Later, after death, theinternal organs, brain and other tissues were taken out, and then the corpse wastreated and preserved with drugs. Mummies have also been unearthed in Xinjiang,China. Jiuhua Mountain is located on the South Bank of the Yangtze River. It ishumid all the year round, and the climate is humid. There is no naturalcondition to produce mummies, and the body has not been treated with anymedicine. So far, this peculiar physical phenomenon has not been scientificallyexplained.
There are many precious cultural relics in the body hall and its culturalrelics exhibition room. Some of them are gifts for the royal family. It is veryrare and can be called a treasure house of Buddhist cultural relics. Every year,on the birthday of the king of Tibetans on July 30 of the lunar calendar, it isa traditional temple fair in Jiuhua Mountain. Monks, nuns and pilgrims from allover the country come here to hold Buddhist activities and gather around thebody pagoda to watch the night for the king of Tibetans. Nearby urban and ruralresidents also go to the mountain for folk cultural entertainment sands of tourists and pilgrims, chanting Buddha's name day and night,surrounded by cigarettes and drumming, present a grand ceremony.

From then on, theking of Tibetans was also called jintibetans.
OK, now our tour bus has arrived at the entrance of Jiuhua street. Pleasetake your belongings and get ready to get off to enter the scenic spot.
Ladies and gentlemen, what we are presented with is a height of 9 metersand a span of 8 meters. Do you know who wrote the word "Jiuhua Shengjing" on thebanner of the 5-meter Jiuhua Shengjing gate? Yes, it was written by EmperorKangxi. Through the gate square, is there an extraordinary feeling of enteringthe holy land?
Now, my friends, we come to the earliest Palace temple in Jiuhua Mountain,namely, the Zhiyuan temple. Zhiyuan temple is now a national key temple and theonly descendant jungle temple in Jiuhua Mountain. It is a typical compositebuilding. Its Mountain Gate deviates from the central axis of the main hall. Theexternal Mountain Gate is not the carelessness of the construction, but theattention. It is said that one is to avoid evil, and the other is to facekaishanzu temple and Huacheng temple. Moreover, on the front wall of Zhiyuantemple, there is a big word "Taishan shigandang" which is very eye-catching. Itis said that it is also for avoiding evil spirits and suppressing demons, whichis unique to Zhiyuan temple.
The Dharma of Zhiyuan temple is solemn and complete, which is the best ofall. There are statues of Maitreya, four heavenly kings, Bodhisattva Weituo andeighteen Arhats in the temple.

Zhiyuan temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, ranking first among the fourjungles in Jiuhua Mountain. The Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist Association has heldmany large-scale preaching, preaching and praying for peace and disaster reliefDharma meetings here. Now it holds more than 1000 Buddhist activities such aswaterway Dharma meeting and Yankou every year. It is one of the Buddhistactivity centers in the whole mountain.
Now we come to Huacheng temple. Huacheng temple is the first temple inJiuhua Mountain. Now it is a national key temple, and it was turned into amuseum of historical relics in the late 1970s. The exhibition is divided intotwo parts: the first part shows the life story of Jin dizang; the second partshows precious historical relics. Some of the Scriptures are the treasures ofthe temple.
There is a release pool in front of the temple. It is said that it was dugby Jin dizang when he led his disciples to build Huacheng temple. In front ofthe pool is Huacheng square, on which there is an empress tower in memory ofjindizang's mother.
The next thing we are going to do is go to Zen hall. Shangchan hall islocated on the hillside in the south of Shenguang Lingnan, which is a nationalkey protected temple. Shangchan hall has three characteristics: the mostpeaceful incense, the best scenery and the most beautiful temple. The TV seriesjourney to the West was filmed here.
After visiting shangchan temple, now we come to the most wonderful bodyhall. The body hall, also known as "Dicang tomb", was built in the first year ofZhenguan of Tang Dynasty. It was originally a three-story stone pagoda. Theburied body was jindicang body, so it is commonly known as the body use there was golden light in the base of the pagoda, later generationsnamed it Shenguang mountain. The characteristics of the hall of flesh can besummarized as "there are towers in the hall, tanks in the towers, and flesh inthe tanks." Please follow me into the hall. Please look at the 16 gold words onthe banner over there, "all living beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is is empty, and I swear not to become a Buddha." It's the vow of Bodhisattvadizang. In fact, the Bodhisattva of Tibet could have become a Buddha, but he iswilling to go to the most miserable hell of the six samsara to spread all livingbeings. If the hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha. Before the birthof Maitreya Buddha in the future, he undertakes the important task of universalsalvation. The body hall is the symbol of Jiuhua Mountain. Every time there is aDharma meeting in Tibet, there is a sea of people and it is unprecedented.
