Friends, Kongtong mountain is known as the religious holy land of Taoismand Buddhism in Northwest China. It has 42 buildings and 72 stone rding to historical records, after the unification of the Sui Dynasty,Kongtong mountain gained a stable period, so in the Tang Dynasty, monks andTaoists successively created temples and palaces. Later, it was built or rebuiltin the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and even in the Republic of rding to historical records, in its heyday, there were 42 fanchas and morethan 650 houses. The prominent ones are "eight platforms, nine palaces andtwelve courtyards". It is difficult to find out how many buildings there were inthe heyday, but the old saying of "eight platforms, nine palaces and twelvecourtyards" actually means something. Batai refers to the East, West, South,North and middle five stations, as well as the Baxian station, Linggui stationand Zhao Shichun reading station. Nine palaces refer to Wen Wen palace, Wang Mupalace, Zixiao palace, feisheng palace, Nanya palace, jingle palace, Taiqingpalace, Yuzhen palace and descendants palace. Twelve courtyards refer to Shuhuatemple, Falun temple, Baoqing temple, Chengxin temple, cha'an temple, Shelitemple, Qiyun temple, Xiangshan temple, Lianhua temple, haijue temple, Wenshutemple and Mituo temple. Shifu cave refers to Xuanhe cave, Guangcheng cave,zuanyang cave, Chaoyang cave, Laojun cave, Jinyin cave, Guiyun cave, Yunnu cave,Lingguan cave, Sanjiao cave and so on. We are now in the middle of the platform,which is surrounded by other courtyards. They are like a blooming lotus,stretching out in all directions, very beautiful. It is more than 1800 metersabove sea level, with flat terrain and wide vision. If you are interested, youmay as well take a picture here. You should pay attention to the "Kongtongmountain" monument behind me. It was inscribed by Comrade Hu Yaobang, formergeneral secretary of the CPC Central Committee, when he visited Pingliang on May19, 1986 (the monument was erected in 1992). Behind the monument is the majesticpeak of the Taoist holy land, Mazong mountain.
This two-story loft building is called sanhuanglou. It was built in e are three ancient emperors on the east side of the upper layer. As thesaying goes, the emperor Fuxi created eight trigrams, the emperor Shennongtasted herbs, and the man huangxuanyuan created civilization.
The stone tablet in front of us is called "the monument of Qin Shihuang andHan Wudi visiting Kongtong in the west". According to historical records andHanshu, Qin Shihuang once visited Kongtong mountain, while Han Wudi visitedKongtong mountain twice in Pingliang. Why did the emperor like Kongtong mountainso much? One reason is that they were all good gods and admired what the YellowEmperor asked. Another reason is that in the Qin and Han Dynasties, Kongtongmountain was an important road connecting Guanzhong and Longyou, and itsgeographical location was very important. It was said that "Gaoling Kongtong,mountains and rivers, Xiongshi three passes, and controlling the five yuan"became the main target of various military forces. The two tall Chinese pinetrees behind the monument have a history of more than 1000 years. A poem praisesthem: "the general pine in the pavilion is better for rain than for wind. It'san open-minded way to get out of the ground. "
Where does the name of Kongtong mountain come from? There are manyexplanations from ancient times to modern times, but there are three kinds oftextual research: first, there are many caves in Kongtong mountain, the mostfamous of which are Xuanhe cave and Kongtong cave. These caves either lie on thesurface of the earth or on cliffs, because most of them are empty caves;Secondly, Kongtong mountain is the birthplace of Taoism, which emphasizes theempty and inaction philosophy of Taoism; thirdly, the word Kongtong is not aword of mountain in ancient times. It was originally a phonetic interpretationof the language of a clan tribe. It expresses the general concept of a locationor all tribes in this area. Erya, the first dictionary in China, records that"beidaidou is an empty tree." It means that the sky is just below the BigDipper. Another ancient book, Jizhong ZhouShu, further explains: "the lowertribes of Daxia, Shache, Yueshi, Kongtong and guzang in the north belong toKongtong." After the development and extinction of the tribes, the famousmountains in the central area were used to refer to the mountains. In fact, theancients had a very clear concept of this region. From Li Bai and Du Fu in theTang Dynasty, LV Daqi in the Ming Dynasty to Kongtong in Lin Zexu's poems in theQing Dynasty, this region generally refers to a large area, starting from Ruyangin Henan Province in the East and ending in Hexi in Gansu Province in the liang, the central area, may be the residential area of the ten clans in theShang and Zhou dynasties, so it is called Kongtong.
Please keep up with the line. In front of you is the ticket Office,Chaotian gate. We can see that there are four stone goats on both sides ofChaotian gate. Why? Because it was very difficult for people to transport thebuilding materials to the mountain by building palaces, temples and roads atfirst. So people found that goats had even hooves and were good at walking smallpaths. From then on, goats undertook the work of carrying materials. In order tocommemorate the contribution of goats to Kongtong mountain, later generationsmolded them Here it is.
Chaotianmen was built in the Ming Dynasty. The three characters"Chaotianmen" on the lintel were written by Mr. Zhang Xiumin, a famouscalligrapher in Pingliang. The three characters "Kongtongshan" were inscribed byMr. Qigong, a famous calligrapher in contemporary times. The couplets on bothsides of "Yunshan steps to the sky, Wuhai floats to Chayi daomen" were inscribedby Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi, vice chairman of China Calligrapher Association. Here isthe Taoist Dharma protector Wang Lingguan. Wang Lingguan is the Taoist Dharmaprotector. Wang Lingguan, formerly known as Wang Ye, is sa Shoujian, a discipleof Xujing immortal, the 30th generation of Heavenly Master in Xihe. He burnedWang Ye with fire. The king refused to accept the evil, and told the heavencourt. The Jade Emperor gave the wise eye and the Golden Whip.
As the saying goes: "Wang Lingguan, keep peace", then everyone hurrythrough Chaotian gate to seek peace!
There are two stone tablets on the cliff. On the left is a poem engraved byLi Ying, a county officer of Pingliang county during the reign of Emperor Kangxiof the Qing Dynasty, chanting Xuanhe, "the crane of Yuan Dynasty flies high andthe sky is clear. There are immortal birds left for thousands of years. What'sthe matter now?" it is said that Xuanhe is the immortal bird of Kongtongmountain. On the right is the portrait tablet of Guanyin presented by Mr. WuLengxi in 1994, which is called Guanyin Bodhisattva by Buddhism. Taoism isworshipped as Cihang Taoist, and is a venerable person worshipped by bothBuddhism and Taoism. This stone tablet is also the only blue stone tablet inKongtong mountain. From now on, we need to climb 669 steps to reach use there are many and steep steps, we must pay attention to safety. We canwalk without looking at the scenery.
This two-story three Ying grotto building is Yaowang cave, which was builtin the Ming Dynasty. It is dedicated to Sun Simiao (middle), Bian que (left) andHua Tuo (right). Sun Simiao was born in the first year of kaihuang of SuiDynasty and died in the first year of Yongchun of Tang Dynasty. He lived 102years (or 141 years). He is a famous medical scientist and pharmacist in thehistory of China and even the world. In history, it was regarded as the "king ofmedicine". Sun Simiao is a famous doctor of ancient and modern medical ethics,especially his emphasis on medical ethics, which is a good story for latergenerations. In his famous book qianjinfang, the medical ethics of "greatmedical sincerity" is also placed in an extremely important position, withspecial topics and discussions. Sun believes that "human life is very important,and there are thousands of gold. One side helps it, and the virtue is more thanthat." therefore, his two works are titled with the word "thousands of gold",which is called "thousands of gold Yaofang" and "thousands of gold Yifang"jin Yaofang is the earliest medical encyclopedia in China. From basic theoryto clinical practice, there are all kinds of theories, methods, prescriptionsand medicines. One is ancient books and records, the other is folk jin Yaofang has made a great contribution to dietotherapy, healthpreservation and pension. There are many stories about him. It is said that heonce went to Kongtong mountain to practice medicine for three years, where hetreated people's diseases, regardless of the poor, the rich and the poor. Hetreated people equally, and his medical ethics was very noble. He also cured thetumor on the back of the Dragon King of Jinghe and took out the broken bonestuck in the throat for the tiger. In order to thank Sun Simiao for hiskindness, the Dragon Tiger acted as his mount. The statue here is based on thelegend of "sitting tiger and needle dragon". Hua Tuo (about the second centuryto the beginning of the third century A.D.) was born in peiguo Qiao (today's HaoCounty, Anhui Province). When he was young, he went to Xuzhou to visit histeachers and study, "and he also knew how to cultivate his nature.". Cao Caooften suffered from head wind vertigo and was cured by Hua Tuo's ver, Hua Tuo was honest and didn't want to serve Cao Cao, so he arrested himand killed him cruelly. Hua Tuo is also the first medical scientist who inventedand used Mabei powder for general anesthesia in the world medical history. Aftercompiling "Wuqinxi", he sorted out "qingnangjing" in prison.
Bian que was a medical scientist in the Warring States period. SurnamedQin, named Yue people, Qi Bohai mo (now Hebei Renqiu) people. Bian que is theoriginator of traditional Chinese medicine. Because of his excellent medicalskills, Bian que cured many diseases for the common people. The working peopleof Zhao state gave him the title of "Bian Que". On the basis of summing up themedical experience of predecessors, Bian que created and summed up the methodsof looking (looking at the complexion), smelling (listening to the voice),asking (asking about the condition) and cutting (according to the pulse) todiagnose the disease. Among the four diagnostic methods, bianque is especiallygood at inspection and palpation. At that time, bianque's pulse cutting skillswere superb and famous all over the world.
Along my right hand side, you can see this small mountain peak calledcandle peak. When winter snow melts in spring, the snow on the mountain peakslowly melts down like a candle, which is very beautiful. This scene is known asone of the twelve landscapes of Kongtong mountain - spring melting candle. LuoChao, a poet of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem praising: "if you don't travelearly in the mountains, you will be in good condition for your youth. I'm afraidthat the moonlight will move and the candle will be bright at night.".
Ladies and gentlemen
Before we knew it, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. In fact, we haveclimbed half of the mountain. That is to say, we have climbed the mountainbefore we knew it. How about it? It's not difficult,
The first part of riguangyan is riguangyan temple. The Mountain Gate infront of it was written by the late Buddhist president Qu Puchu. Its coupletdescribes the special geographical location and beautiful scenery ofriguangyan.
Enter the third gate (if they want to shoot, let them shoot, and then tellthem to concentrate under the mango tree)
Just now, you have photographed (or seen) the Moya stone carving in frontof you. It doesn't look very impressive, but it's the first scene of first glance, you will find that there is only one person named Lin Yu (thesame as "needle"), and you often think it must be written by him. In fact, it'snot. The earliest one is more than 400 years away from the latest one. You cansee that "Gulang Dongtian" is the earliest one found on riguangyan The stonecarving was written in 1573 by Ding Yizhong, the magistrate of Quanzhou inFujian Province in the Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 400 years since now."Gulang" refers to "Gulangyu" and "Dongtian" in Taoism, it often refers to theplace where the immortals live, that is to say, "Dongtianfudi" in Taoism;"Lujiang No.1" was written by Lin Yu, a gifted scholar of the Qing Dynasty,which is more than 100 years ago. "Lujiang" refers to the Strait we passed inthe morning ferry year; "Tianfeng Haitao" was written by Xu Shiying, thegovernor of Fujian Province, in 1915. These three inscriptions respectivelydescribe the beautiful scenery of riguangyan as fairyland. Now we mainlyappreciate "Tianfeng Haitao". To appreciate it, we need to go to the top ofriguangyan mountain.
I'm looking at the sunlight rock temple. It was built in the Ming Dynastyand was initially called "Lianhua nunnery". It is one of the four famousnunneries in Xiamen. The other three nunneries are either destroyed or in thearmy. Only this nunnery is open to the outside world. It was originally a cave,with a huge stone as the top, so it was called "a tile". Then why is it alsocalled riguangyan temple? There are two versions: first, whenever the sun risesfrom the opposite Wulao peak, it is the first to bathe in the sun, so it iscalled riguangyan temple; Second, there are two characters "Huang Yan" on theright side of the rock. (1647) when Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, came here,he found that the scenery here was better than that of the sun mountain inJapan, so he split the word "Huang" into two characters "Sunlight", hence thename. If you look at the architecture of this temple, you may have been to manyplaces, but it's still the first time to see this kind of architecture. You cansee that the Maituo hall and the Daxiong hall are opposite, which can't be seenelsewhere. The reason is very simple. It's because of the small site. This kindof structure is rare in the whole country. So it's also a small and exquisitetemple. Although he is small, what he worships inside is the authentic GuanyinBodhisattva in Yunmen. Because of the beautiful scenery, master Hongyi (LiShutong), one of China's top ten eminent monks, closed for eight months in June1936 to review the book "the true prescription of Guanyin Bodhisattva", that is"Pu men pin". (next to the temple is the Xuting Pavilion. On the stone is carvedthe record of Xuting written by Shi Guoqiu, a Chinese Taiwanese. The article describesthe magnificent scenery of riguangyan, which is "surrounded by mountains andsea, the first Tianjin in the southeast of the polar eye, the water and lightconnecting the sky, and the flood bathing in the sun.". )
Riguangyan is a famous place of interest in Xiamen. It is not only famousfor its beautiful scenery, but also has many famous stone carvings, such as"jiuxia Shenghan" (what's the name of their signature? Tieyi is the pen name ofHuang Zhongxun, a wealthy businessman on Gulangyu Island and an overseas Chinesein Vietnam. "Jiuxia" refers to 90 days in summer, where is the cool meaning inhot summer? It is the main source of confrontation between the two mountains"Lujiang Dragon Cave" was written by the famous calligrapher Zhang Dahe. It issaid that Xiamen once believed that there were five dragons, and this is thelegendary residence of a dragon, so riguangyan is also known as Longtou mountain[since ancient times, there has been a 16 character folk rhyme: "dragon andtiger are in charge of the pass, God and elephant lay a foundation, gold andsilver are reflected far away, clouds and clouds rise to the sky." "Dragontiger" refers to Longtou mountain and Hutou mountain, "Dangguan" refers to theconfrontation between the two mountains; "God image diedian" refers to Songyuisland and Xiangbi mountain; "gold and silver Yuanying" refers to Jinmen andTongan (old well-known person Yintong) "; and" cloud clouds "refers toyundingyan in Xiamen and Danxia in Zhangzhou. This rhyme vividly shows thatGulangyu is located in "Dangguan", "diedian", "Yuanying" and "Lingxiao". It is afairyland resort. Therefore, it used to be known as "paradise", but now it isknown as "sea garden". On the other hand, the mountain across the sea is alsoknown as "Hutou mountain" In November 1962, when I was swimming in the sea byboat, I saw the scenery on both sides of the Strait, and immediately recited thepoem "the dragon head frequently points and the tiger head shakes". Therefore,there is a folk saying that "one dragon and one tiger guard Xiamen Port".
The red brick building was built by Huang Zhongxun, a wealthy businessmanon the island and an overseas Chinese in Vietnam, in memory of his brother HuangZhongzan, who traveled far away
(yuaner Pavilion) the "yuaner Pavilion" beside Zheng Chenggong MemorialHall and the "Wanzai Pavilion" on it were built by Huang Zhongxun, the owner ofthe house and an overseas Chinese from Vietnam, in memory of Huang Zhongzan, hisbrother who traveled far away. You see, these four square pillars hold up apointed square cover. The shape, color, pattern and pattern have both nationalstyle and Nanyang style
(Shuicao platform) this is the Shuicao platform used by Zheng Chenggong atthat time. On the back of the huge stone, Li Zengwei, a friend of Huang Zhongxunand a former official of Quanzhou, carved on the precipice of the site "themajestic wind of Fujian sea", each character is 1.8 meters high and 1.54 meterswide. On the other stone in front of the right, there is a five characterquatrain of Zheng Chenggong: "Li Yue Yi Guan Di, the article of Confucius andMencius; The poem is written in imitation of Zheng Chenggong's handwriting. Thefollowing is also engraved with "Zheng Sen's private seal" and "Chenggong's"seal. According to experts, this poem was written by Zheng Chenggong to hisyounger brother qizuo weimen, who is still living in Japan. In 1645, ZhengChenggong's mother, Tian Chuan, came to Anhai, Jinjiang with her father. Themeaning of the poem is to tell the younger brother that his mother is safe andrespected in Anhai. The younger brother should study the books of sages
Zhang ruitu, a great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty: the sea is wide withfish and the sky is free for birds to fly. The man can't be without thismeasure; the man can't be without this feeling when he shakes his clothes andwashes his feet for thousands of miles
(inscription by Cai tingkai) look at this stone inscription. When Caitingkai was the commander of the 19th Route Army, when the Japanese armyattacked Shanghai and the people of the whole country were increasingly callingfor resistance against Japan, he and some patriots and generals rose up toresist. Unfortunately, he was in Shanghai He came here to see the relics left byZheng Chenggong and was filled with emotion for Zheng Chenggong's heroicachievements, so he happily wrote this poem: "with one hand to mend the sky, theeight min garrison troops are the same today and in the past; the formerfortress is still there, and the hero is remembered under the sunlightrock.",
If you look at this small gate again, although it is very small, it looksvery ordinary. In fact, it has a history of more than 300 years. This is thegate of "Longtou mountain stronghold" built by Zheng Chenggong, a national hero,more than 300 years ago. It is 1.7 meters high and 0.74 meters wide. It can onlybe passed by one person. Do you realize the feeling of "one man is in charge ofthe pass, ten thousand people are not allowed to open it"?
(on the left), "the mountain is better when we do our best" is written byhe Shaoji, a great calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. His writing style iselegant and natural. The meaning of his writing is to encourage us to climbhard, and the beautiful scenery is in front of us. After reading it, do you feelthe encouragement of the author, and do you feel the urge to climb forward?
(right) there are many round holes in the rock. Have you seen Zhengdavariety show? It was also filmed here. At that time, there was a part calledguessing on the spot in the program. The question is "how did these holes comefrom?" then please guess - these were slowly chiseled out by soldiers. At thattime, there were no modern tools, and they were here It's not easy to dig theseholes in the hard rock. It's only used by soldiers to build beams and buildsheds. It can be seen that their environment was very hard in those years.
"Ancient summer cave" was written by Shi Shijie, one of the four famouspoets in Chinese Taiwan in the late Qing Dynasty; "Summer" means cool here, because itis made of boulders, forming today's shape, and because it is ventilated, dryand cool, whenever the wind is blowing slowly and out of date, it can reflectthe meaning of these four words, so people also call objective existence "modernnatural air conditioning"; When you come here, you can also see a typicalgeomorphic form of Xiamen - sea erosion geomorphology. That is to say, the hugerocks in our eyes are due to the changes of the crust after tens of millions ofyears of movement. The reefs floating out of the sea from the bottom of the seaform what they are today. This is also an important witness to the investigationof the geomorphology of Xiamen in ancient times.
(after the break, it can be said: to borrow a sentence from he Shaoji,"it's better to go to the mountain when you can do your best", and as the sayinggoes, "unlimited scenery is at the dangerous peak", let's go to enjoy the mostbeautiful scenery in Xiamen.)
(beside the shop) the inscription on sunlight rock was written by JiangDingwen, a fellow countryman, when he was full of ambition and in a good moodafter he "solved" the 19th Route Army: sunlight rock, Shi Leilei, the terracesaround the sea, Tiancheng Yulei, with the vast wind above and the great seabelow.
Now we are at the foot of riguangyan. The stone in front of us is engravedwith "Guangfu platform", which means to recover Chinese Taiwan. It is 92.7 meters highabove sea level. With the round Tianfeng platform at the top, it is called "100meter Tianfeng platform". Since ancient times, there has been a saying in Xiamenthat "if you don't get to riguangyan, you will be wasted in Xiamen". In fact, tobe more precise, if you get to riguangyan, you will be wasted in Xiamen. ",Maybe you don't believe it, so please follow me to visit it.
Standing at the top of the mountain, you can truly experience the meaningof "Tian Feng Hai Tao". You can see that the whole island is in our eyes,whether it is near or far away, or on the shore of the sea.
You see: the scenery around you, the panoramic view of the whole island ofGulangyu, Shuzhuang, which lies on the sea like a bonsai, the underwater worldwith a blue roof like a crystal palace, Xiamen Museum, which imitates the Arabarchitecture of the US White House, and so on.
In the north, we can see the changes of the Special Economic Zone in thepast few decades. Through our eyes, we can see its prosperous economicconstruction and enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides of Xiamen andGuzhou;
In the west, known as "the first in Asia and the second in the world",Haicang Bridge is a three span steel box girder suspension bridge (in Denmark),Lantau Island in the shape of an alligator, which is the nature reserve forbirds and egrets in Xiamen, and Haicang in Xiamen, whose economy is developingrapidly. The chimney that goes straight to the sky is Songyu Power Plant and100000 ton Wharf in Haicang, and the white one is oil storage tank;
In the south of Zhangzhou, South Taiwu mountain and North Taiwu mountainare rising in Chinese Taiwan and Bank of China Development Zone. In the near future, youwill see Xiamen University, China's first cross sea university, which has beenbuilt there;
To the East are Chinese Taiwan, Kinmen, Dadan, Ertan and other islands of the sameorigin.
It is the "sky wind and sea waves" that inspire the take-off spirit of thedescendants of the dragon; it is the "Fujian sea wind" that encourage theambition of the descendants of the dragon. Seeing all these scenes, do you havethe same feeling as Jiang Dingwen's "there is a vast sky wind above, and a vastsea below"?
Zhao Lirong, the late famous performing artist of our country, once said atthe party that "Xiamen is under our feet, and Jinmen is opposite to us. When canwe go to visit for the Lantern Festival?" yes, it's a pity that we can't go tothe end of the world. Now that Hong Kong and Macao have returned to the embraceof the motherland, with the cross-strait relations getting better and better, Ibelieve that Chinese Taiwan's return will come sooner or later.
"Water control platform" the water control platform left by Zheng Chenggongis below. It was built later. However, on the top, it is not difficult toimagine the heroic style of the generals commanding thousands of troops below atthat time.
(Memorial Hall) Zheng Chenggong, formerly known as Zheng Sen, was born inShijing village, Nan'an, Fujian Province. He was born in 1624 on the coast ofPinghu, Japan. He returned home at the age of 7 and joined Nanjing ImperialCollege at the age of 20. In 1645, when Emperor Longwu of the Southern MingDynasty saw that he was young, promising and loyal, he gave him the surname"Zhu" and changed his name to "Chenggong". Therefore, many people at home andabroad called him "Lord of the national surname". In 1653, Emperor Yongli of theSouthern Ming Dynasty granted him "King Yanping". On 1661.4.21, he personallyled hundreds of warships, with 25000 officers and soldiers, from liaoluo Bay,Jinmen, through Penghu, and then arrived at the west coast of Chinese Taiwan. After afew months, he recovered Chinese Taiwan from the Dutch colonists' "strong ships andpowerful guns" on 1662.2.1. After recovering Chinese Taiwan, he took a series ofmeasures to promote the economic and cultural development of Chinese Taiwan. 1662.7 hedied in Chinese Taiwan because of illness. He was only 39 years old. For more than 300years, his patriotism has been respected by the Chinese people. On February 1,1962, it was opened to commemorate the 300th anniversary of Zheng Chenggong'srecovery of Chinese Taiwan. The six characters of "Zheng Chenggong Memorial Hall" wereinscribed by Guo Moruo, a famous writer. It is also one of the top 100 patrioticeducation bases in China. The museum is divided into seven parts, displayingmore than 400 pieces of cultural relics, materials, photos, sculptures, models,etc., systematically showing Zheng Chenggong's life and brilliant achievementsin anti Qing Dynasty and restoration of Ming Dynasty, eastern expedition toexpel the Dutch and barbarians, and development of treasure island Chinese Taiwan.
When you visit Xi'an, you must want to see the second big wild goosepagoda. This ancient Tang Dynasty pagoda is a unique symbol of the ancient cityof Xi'an. The ancients once left a poem that "driving mountains and shining atnight, the morning bell of the wild goose pagoda is in the south of the city" one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, the big wild goose pagoda standshigh in the Ci'en Temple in the southern suburb of Xi'an, about 4 kilometersaway from the city center. It is one of the famous Buddhist pagodas inChina.
Dayan Pagoda was formerly known as Ci'en Temple. Ci'en Temple wasoriginally named Wulou temple. In 648 ad, when Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong, was thecrown prince, he ordered to build a temple in jinchangfang, Chang'an, in memoryof the kindness of his dead mother, empress changsun. Facing the Hanyuan Hall ofDaming Palace in the north, it covers an area of 26570 square meters and issurrounded by beautiful scenery. It is the most magnificent and spectacularBuddhist temple in Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Now, please comewith me to visit Ci'en Temple and Dayan Pagoda.
[Ci'en Temple - stone lion - Bell and Drum Tower - Daxiong Hall - Sutralibrary]
Dear tourists, Ci'en Temple is a temple built by the royal family. It has aprominent position and a grand scale that no other temple can match. The templewas composed of 13 courtyards, covering an area of 340 mu, seven times the areaof the temple now. Its architecture is magnificent and its decoration isgorgeous. The existing area of Ci'en Temple is 32314 square meters, about 48.5mu.
Let's take a look at this pair of powerful stone lions in front of theMountain Gate of the temple. Strange to say, generally speaking, thingsintroduced into our country from foreign countries are always introduced intothe real objects first, and then there are works of art based on the realobjects. The lion settled in China, but the first exception is the lion stoneart, and then there is the real lion. As we all know, the lion was introducedinto China from Persia in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while the stone lion wasintroduced into China from India at the same time as Buddhism. The lion has thefunction of protecting the Dharma and avoiding evil. Buddhism believes that "theBuddha is the lion among the people", so the lion is often engraved in front ofthe Buddha platform, which is called protecting the Dharma lion. At the gate ofCi'en Temple, there are four stone lions sitting symmetrically on the left andright, and two of them are close to the gate. It is not clear when they werecarved. On the east side is the lion, teasing at the foot of hydrangea. On thewest side is the lioness, with a pair of cubs at her feet, called the seems that these lions are also arranged in the order of male left and femaleright according to people's habits. The two lions on the outside are carved in1785 and 1930 respectively. The height of the two pairs of stone lions is morethan 1.7 meters, and each pair weighs at least 250 kg. It's strange that thesetwo solid monsters made of eight faceted majestic stones, even if they aregently patted with their hands, will also make a metal sound like copper but notsteel, which is crisp and pleasant. Tourists, can you guess the reason?
Walking into the temple, there are two small buildings. To the East, thereis a bell tower. There is an iron bell cast in the Jiajing period of the MingDynasty, weighing 15 tons. To the west is the drum tower, in which there is abig drum. For a long time, "the morning bell of the wild goose pagoda" has beenwidely spread as one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong. But in the past,people thought that "the morning bell of the wild goose pagoda" refers to thebell of the small wild goose pagoda in Xi'an. In fact, this scene refers to thebig wild goose pagoda, because the bell of the big wild goose pagoda weighs30000 Jin. It was cast in October of the 27th year of Jiajing in the MingDynasty (1548 A.D.), more than 100 years before the bell of the small wild goosepagoda was moved into the temple.
As we all know, most temples have the main hall, and so does Ci'en main hall is located on the high platform in the center of the temple. Itwas built from 1458 A.D. to 1466 A.D. and was overhauled in 1887 A.D. The threestatues above the main hall are the three body statues of Shi Ying and Mou one in the middle is called Dharma statue, the one in the west is calledBaoshen statue, and the one in the East is called Yingshen statue. Shiyingmuni,the founder of Buddhism, was originally a prince of ancient India's yingpilaweikingdom. He was born in 565 BC and died in 486 BC, about the same time asConfucius. Yingye, one of the top ten disciples of Sakyamuni, is on the eastside of the three body Buddha, and Ananda, one of the top ten disciples ofSakyamuni, is on the west side. On both sides are statues of eighteen Arhats andXuanzang.
Behind the main hall is the Sutra library, which contains importantclassics such as the Tibetan Tripitaka. Downstairs is the lecture hall, whereBuddhists preach Buddhist scriptures. There is a bronze statue of Amitabha, morethan 1 meter high. Inside the hall, there is a Buddha seat offered by Xuanzanghimself, as well as a statue seat of the four heavenly kings of qingxiangshi inthe Tang Dynasty. This stone is blue stone produced in Lantian Yushan. It iscrisp and pleasant to the ear.
[origin of the name of Dayan Pagoda - Xuanzang and Temple Pagoda -Architecture and cultural relics of Dayan Pagoda]
Dear tourists, when we walk out of the Sutra library, we can see themagnificent wild goose pagoda. When you see this Tang Dynasty building, you mustbe both surprised and curious. First of all, why is the tower named aftergeese?
According to Indian Buddhist legend, there were two schools of Buddhism,Mahayana and Hinayana, and Hinayana Buddhism did not avoid meat and day, it was Bodhisattva giving day, but a monk in a Hinayana Temple couldn'tbuy meat for dinner. At this time, a group of geese flew by in the sky. A monklooked at the geese and said to himself, "today there is no meat in the merciful Bodhisattva will never forget what day it is." Before the voicefell, the leading goose folded its wings and fell to the ground. So the monks inthe temple were shocked and thought that it must be the manifestation ofBodhisattva. They built a stone pagoda at the site where the wild geese gave up meat and turned to Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, the pagoda is alsoknown as the big wild goose pagoda.
At the Dayan Pagoda, people will naturally think of Xuanzang, the famousmonk of Tang Dynasty, who was the first abbot of Ci'en Temple. It is said thatin the third year of Yonghui reign of Tang Dynasty (652 AD), master Xuanzang, afamous monk, built the big wild goose pagoda in the West courtyard of Ci'enTemple with the permission of Emperor Gaozong in order to arrange theScriptures, Buddha statues and relics he brought back from the western truction started in March of that year, under the supervision of Xuanzanghimself, and was completed in one year.
Dear tourists, you must have seen journey to the west, one of China's fourfamous works, and the TV series of the same name adapted from it. Is the Tangmonk in journey to the west the famous monk Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty? MasterXuanzang, with a common surname of Chen, was a monk in Luoyang at the age of was diligent and eager to learn. After visiting teachers all over thecountry, he decided to explore the essence of Buddhism in India, the birthplaceof Buddhism It's very important. Xuanzang started from Chang'an in the thirdyear of Zhenguan (A.D. 620__) and traveled along the Silk Road through the Gobidesert without birds and animals. He traveled westward to Tianzhu. Aftercompleting his studies in the 19th year of Zhenguan (A.D. 645), he returned toChang'an. It took him 20__ years to travel 50000 kilometers. Through more than100 countries and regions, he retrieved 657 Buddhist scriptures and gained ahigh status in India. After returning to China, with the support of the Tangroyal family, he gathered erudite eminent monks from all over the country toform an unprecedented Buddhist scripture translation site, and acted as thetranslator himself. The quality and quantity of translated Buddhist scripturesare far more than those of their predecessors, which ushered in a new era in thehistory of translation in China. A total of 75 Buddhist scriptures and 1335volumes have been translated, and a record of the western regions of the TangDynasty has been written, which has attracted the attention of scholars all overthe world. It should be said that journey to the west is written in thebackground of xuanlei's going out to the west to seek scriptures in the TangDynasty, but the Tang monk in the story does not refer to Xuanzang, but a figurein an artistic literary work.
Dear tourists, when the Dayan Pagoda was built, it was 60 meters high, with5 floors, brick surface, earth core and CD ladder. In the center of the reartower, there are lots of plants and trees growing in the cracks of bricks, whichare gradually decadent. After several renovations during the reign of Empress WuZetian in Chang'an, Emperor Xuanzong in Tang Dynasty and Emperor Changxing inlater Tang Dynasty, the big wild goose pagoda was 4.5 meters higher than theoriginal one and added two floors. Each side of the ground floor is 25 meterslong, the base is square, the side length is 45 meters to 48 meters, there areticket doors on all sides of each floor, and there are stairs in the tower. Onthe lintel of the bottom floor of the pagoda, there are exquisite line carvedBuddha statues, especially the picture of Sakyamuni Buddha on the lintel of thewest gate. The photo of the abandoned hall at that time is engraved on it. It issaid that it was written by Yan Liben, a great painter of the Tang Dynasty. Itis a precious material for studying the Buddhist culture and architectural artof future generations. The brick niches on the East and west sides of the SouthGate of the pagoda are inlaid with the steles of preface to the three sacredreligions of the Tang Dynasty written by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the TangDynasty and preface to the three sacred religions of the Tang Dynasty written byEmperor Gaozong Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. The two steles were written by Chusuiliang, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. They are the best of thesteles in the Tang Dynasty. They are precious original calligraphic inscriptionsprotected by the state. They are important material for the study of ancientcalligraphy. It can be said that the square brick Pagoda with wooden structureis a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture in China, with its simple shape,majestic momentum, remarkable national characteristics and the style of thetimes.
Tourists, since the completion of the great wild goose pagoda, celebritiesof all ages have left a good sentence to recite through the ages. Du Fu praised"the sky is high, the wind is strong all the time", and Cen Shen praised "thetower is like gushing out, towering in the sky alone; stepping out of the world,pedaling through the void". The poet's magnificent description and philosophicalexclamation often resonate when people climb the tower.

Fortunately, my motherreminded me to get out of the car, so I stepped out of the door happily, but Iwas stunned by the sight in front of me. In front of me was a farmer's e are three big characters on it, Shantang street. My mood is like 100degrees of boiling water, but after a second it becomes minus 1 degree. I yelledto my mother, "how can Shantang street be a farmer's market?" my mother said,"don't worry, go around and have a look." I ran around the farmer's market for along time, but I still couldn't find the legendary Shantang street, so I wasdisappointed and said, "it turns out that Shantang street is a farmer's e's no delicious food." An old uncle next to me laughed when he heard mywords: "little girl, Shantang street is not a farmer's market. If you go 200meters to the right and then turn left, you will find Shantang street." Mom saidthanks to the old man. Then he said to me, "if something happens in the future,don't draw a conclusion in advance, or you'll make a big joke."
According to the old uncle, we found Shantang street. As soon as I steppedinto the street, there was a fragrance. I walked along the fragrance and saw ashop with three characters of plum blossom cake on its front. There was a longline in front of it. It seemed that I was pulled by a kind of magic force. Afterstanding in line for more than half an hour, I finally bought a fragrant and hotplum blossom cake. I can't wait to take a bite. It has the sweet smell of redbean paste and the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus. It's really delicious!
Then, my mother bought a box of maltose for me to eat. My mother first tooka piece of maltose and put it into my small mouth. She also ate one of she couldn't help sighing: "decades have passed, it's still the taste ofchildhood. After listening to this, I asked curiously, "Mom, did you eat maltosewhen you were a child?" my mom said with a smile, "maltose is as popular aslollipop when we were children. It's just that you can't eat it from time totime. Only on Sundays do you occasionally meet the bartender's sugar changingburden, and take the toothpaste shells, bad slippers, and all kinds of wasteproducts collected by your family to the sugar changing burden. The bartenderknocks two to three pieces of maltose of different sizes according to thequantity and quality of waste products. " After listening to my mother's words,I thought silently, "I am much happier now than when my mother was a child!"
Then, my mother and I tasted crab rice, fox yogurt, Suzhou three freshnoodles, marinated duck gizzard Time flies. In the twinkling of an eye, it'sevening. We are going home soon. My mother asked me to buy some souvenirs, so Ientered a jewelry shop specializing in dough kneaders.
