Guide to Wutai Mountain Scenic Area 1 Ladies and gentlemen,
You are very welcome to visit Wutai Mountain, one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Now we are traveling on the highway from Xinzhou to Wutai Mountain. I'll give you an overview of Wutai Mountain by driving time.
General situation of Wutai Mountain
Wutai Mountain is the first batch of national scenic spots, located in the northeast of Xinzhou District, Shanxi Province. Most of the scenic spots are located in Wutai County with Taihuai Town as the center, and a few of them span Fan Shi, Daixian and Fuping, Hebei Province, with a surrounding area of more than 500 miles. The magnificent scenery of Wutai Mountain lies in its five peaks in the east, west, north and south and the endless Qingshui River. The essence of Wutai Mountain is its numerous Buddhist temples.
The name Wutai Mountain is an image summary of the common characteristics of five peaks. The peaks of the five peaks in the east, west, north, south and middle are all tall gentle slopes, so it is called Wutai Mountain. Wutai is more than 2700 meters above sea level, and the highest North Platform is 3058 meters, which is the highest peak in North China and is known as the "roof of North China". Shanxi, which is located in the Loess Plateau, is dry and rainless in most areas except Wutai Mountain. Here, with high mountains and deep forests, cool climate, abundant rainfall, high vegetation coverage, beautiful scenery and spectacular scenery, it is known as Liangqing and is a summer resort. Although Wutai Mountain has high mountains and deep valleys, it has convenient transportation and is connected with the outside world with "four passes and one gate". In the north, there is Huayanling Hong Men Yanyakou, which leads to fan shi; In the west, there is the Erlingguan, which leads to Daixian County. There is Longquan Pass in the east, leading to Fuping, Hebei; There is Niudaolingguan in the southeast, leading to Yuxian and Yangquan; In the south, there is a big pass connecting Dingxiang, Xinzhou and Taiyuan.
Wutai Mountain is a famous Buddhist shrine. So how did Wutai Mountain become a Buddhist holy land? In the 11th year of Emperor Yongping of the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 68), two Indian monks, Morten and Zhu Falan, spread Buddhism in China. When they came to Wutai Mountain, they saw five terraced arches around the hinterland of Taiwan Province, and their mountain landforms were almost the same as those of Lingjiu Mountain, the practice place of Sakyamuni Buddha. After returning to Luoyang, they invited Emperor Han Ming to build a temple in Wutai Mountain, and Ming Di ordered the construction of Dafu Lingjiu Temple in Wutai Mountain, which is the predecessor of Xiantong Temple today. Since then, there have been more and more Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain, and the incense is increasing day by day. By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were more than 200 temples in Wutai Mountain, more than 360 in the Tang Dynasty, and more than 3,000 monks and nuns. However, due to the two mass extinctions in Tang Wuzong and Zhou Shizong, almost all Buddhist temples were destroyed. Buddhist temples in Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Wutai Mountain were gradually restored and developed, with nearly 104 temples in Ming Dynasty. Emperors Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty attached great importance to the Buddhist temple in Wutai Mountain, and constantly invested huge sums of money to build it. By the end of Qing Dynasty, there were 22 temples 122 in Wutai Mountain, including 97 temples of Qing Dynasty, 5 temples of Huang Dynasty, and more than 0/000 monks and nuns/kloc-0.
Wutai Mountain has more than 50 temples. Although it can't be compared with history, it is still the most concentrated temple and the most vigorous incense among the four famous Buddhist mountains. Moreover, the Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain were reserved in Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China. They are magnificent in architecture, diverse in style, rigorous, typical in techniques and strong in continuity. They are the architectural history of China since the Tang Dynasty, and they are a rare place to study and appreciate the ancient architecture of China. In addition, the Buddhist statues in the temple have various techniques and superb skills, including clay sculpture, wood carving, copper casting and jade carving. It is also the best place to appreciate the development and evolution of Buddhist statues in China.
The town in front is called Dongye, and the first scenic spot of our Wutai trip, nanzenji, is more than 10 in the northwest of Dongye Town.
Nanzenji: nanzenji has arrived. We climbed Wutai Mountain from South Road, and first visited this ancient temple. In fact, we have climbed the highest peak of Wutai Mountain cultural relics. Because there is the oldest existing wooden structure building in China-nanzenji Giant Buddha Hall. As you may know, Shanxi is known as the museum of above-ground cultural relics, and the number and value of existing ancient buildings rank first in the country. There are 35 national key protected cultural relics units and 284 provincial key protected cultural relics units. There were 106 wooden buildings before the Song and Jin Dynasties, accounting for more than 70% of the buildings of the same period in China. The ancient buildings in Wutai Mountain are the most concentrated in Shanxi, and the ancient buildings in Wutai Mountain are the oldest in nanzenji.
Nanzenji is located on the cliff near Li Jiacun, Bai Yang Township, Wutai County. The temple faces south, with a roof in front and a roof behind, surrounded by canals, lush trees, red walls and green trees, and green streams. Very quiet. It is in this beautiful environment that nanzenji has existed for more than 200 years. The temple is small, covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters, with a length of 5 1 meter from north to south and a width of 565,438 meters from east to west. Divided into two courtyards, there are six halls, namely, the Great Buddha Hall, the East-West Attached Hall and the South Gate Hall.
The Great Buddha Hall is the main building of the temple, with three rooms wide and deep, but inside it is a big room. It is a single-eaves building, located at the top of the temple, with twelve pillars supporting the top of the temple. The wall is not load-bearing, but only plays the role of isolating the inside and outside and defending against wind and rain. The stigma around the eaves column is slightly inward, and the four-corner column is slightly higher, which makes the bucket arches extending layer by layer tilt upward. This hall is both stable and beautiful, which is a typical architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. According to the inscription on the beam of the main hall, this hall was rebuilt in Jianzhong, Tang Dezong for three years (AD 782), 12 17 years ago. Is the big brother of all existing wooden ancient buildings in China. This is also the main reason why nanzenji is famous at home and abroad. The statues in the temple are all works of the Tang Dynasty, with Sakyamuni Buddha as the center, two Bodhisattvas Manjushri and Pu Xian on both sides, and the rest are group portraits of the great disciples Ananda, Yingying Ye, and Fawang. The primary and secondary are distinct and patchwork, creating a solemn and harmonious atmosphere in the Buddhist community. Whether it is the Buddha sitting in the middle, or Manjushri riding a lion or an elephant, or there are 70 brick carvings embedded around the Buddhist altar, it is Being in the Great Buddha Hall is like entering an art hall in the Tang Dynasty. Buildings, statues and brick carvings are all rare national treasures.
Walking out of the Great Buddha Hall, you may have such a question, why can such a Tang Dynasty building be well preserved? The answer should be found from three aspects. In terms of topography and climate, the terrain is high, leeward and relatively dry, which is conducive to the intact preservation of wooden buildings; Geographically speaking, nanzenji is far away from the downtown area of Taihuai, where temples are most concentrated, and hidden in remote mountainous areas, which is not very noticeable, so it can avoid large-scale destruction of laws and robbery by soldiers after the Tang Dynasty; Finally, due to the careful protection of local people, other possible man-made damage was avoided. It is for these reasons that nanzenji, a thousand-year-old temple, is perfectly preserved. After liberation, the state cherished the ancient temple, listed it as a national key protected cultural relic unit, and allocated special funds for its maintenance, which made nanzenji better protected.
Luoding, a tourist guide to Wutai Mountain, is an ancient temple with a long history, famous reputation and unique style. Dai Luoding was originally named Qingfeng, and the temple was originally named Foding 'an. From the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty to the 15th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, it was once called Daluoding, and it was renamed Dailuoding in the 15th year of Qianlong, which has continued to this day.
Dailuoding is an ancient temple with a long history and unique style in Wutai Mountain.
Historically, it was named Qingfengding, Fodingan, Daluoding and Dailuoding in turn.
In the seventh and ninth volumes of Shi Zhencheng's Records of Liang Qingshan in the Ming Dynasty, it is recorded that "different people feel the same, and they talk about bitterness and emptiness": "Tang Buddhism, living in Qingfeng Mountain, there are big pines in the south of the temple, which can cover the wind and rain. During the trial sitting of Fa Nian, if he realized something, he saw the monk acting like an old monk and saying that he was bitter and empty.
It's sad to hear the rustling of autumn sounds, because it's empty and cheap to complain. This ancient monument still exists. "The Qingfeng-xiangguang fracture is a top hat, and the temple is a small temple. In the Tang Dynasty, there were monks who practiced Buddhism and small temples. According to Liang Qingshan Zhi, Dai Luoding's history began in the Tang Dynasty. The existing stone tablet behind Luoding Mountain Gate in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty is also recorded as follows: "... If it is a nipple-shaped snail, it is round, clean and lovely, and it is called the Big Snail Top in common customs, also called Qingfeng ... It is said that there are ancient sacred trees here, from which monks can learn and live. "
In front of Daxiong Hall and in the back hall of Dailuoding, there are one pine and one cypress, one pine in the north and the other cypress in the south, which are ten feet thick and stand upright and straight into the sky. This is the "thousand-year-old pine" in the poems of Emperor Qianlong, which is the place where Buddhist monks practiced in the Tang Dynasty. Gu Song witnessed the history of Delodin in the temple.
Shi Ming's sincere Liang Qingshan Ji is an important historical material for studying Buddhism in Wutai Mountain. A comprehensive record of Wutai Mountain's physical geography, scenic features, temple evolution, biographies of monks and nuns, holy land specialties, myths and legends, poems and songs of monks and nuns, especially the records of Wutai Mountain's Buddhist activities, exchanges between monks and nuns and cultural exchanges. It is an important basis for us to study Buddhism in Wutai Mountain today, and it is authoritative. Song Tan Ku Kong records the process of Buddhism building a temple on Qingshan Peak and practicing Zen under a big pine tree in the Tang Dynasty. According to the well-preserved stone tablet records of the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty in the temple and the "Millennium Pine" in front of Daxiong Hall, it is proved that the history of Dai Luoding should be counted from the Tang Dynasty.
Dailuoding Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the exact date of the Tang Dynasty remains to be further verified.
Dai Luoding was originally named Qingfeng, and the temple was originally named Foding 'an. From the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1592) to the 15th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1750), it was named Daluoding, and it has been renamed as Dailuoding since the 15th year of Qianlong. There are two stone tablets behind the mountain gate in the temple: one stands in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 20th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty with the inscription "Rebuilding the Foding Temple Monument in Wutai Mountain"; On the other hand, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Xin Wei during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty wrote The Pavilion at the Peak of the Qing Dynasty, which described in detail the evolution of Dai Luoding, his name and the reconstruction during the reign of Emperor Chenghua of the Ming Dynasty, all of which were rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and fifty-one years of Qianlong.
The small peak extending from Dongtai Peak in Wutai Mountain replaces Luoding, and its vertical height is only 400 meters. However, standing in Qingshui Valley and looking up, the ancient temple with the same name as the mountain peak is equivalent to a 130-storey skyscraper, which is high enough. If you want to climb to the top, it is not enough. So before climbing, you need to choose one of the three ways according to your own conditions. To go, there is a new road on the right and an ancient road on the left. The newly-built road was built at 199 1 year, with a total length of108m and a clear width of 2.2m.. All of them are paved with Wutai Mountain bluestone, with a total of 1080 steps, named "Big Branch Road". The name and steps of this road are related to Buddhist common sense.
Five Manjusri was called "Little Chaotai" during the Qianlong period. Most emperors in the Qing Dynasty worshiped Buddhism, from the legend that the emperor shunzhi became a monk in Wutai Mountain to the worship of Wutai Mountain, a sacred place of Manjusri, by Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing, which brought long-term prosperity to the Buddhist culture of Wutai Mountain.
In September of the 11th year of Qianlong (1746), Emperor Qianlong went to Wutai Mountain for the first time. Stay at the top of Bodhisattva, overlooking the top of Dailuo, a beautiful place, "green leaps into the eyebrows." The beauty of the top of Daluo aroused the emperor's pleasure.
There is a legend about the first time that Emperor Qianlong boarded the Dailuoding. In the fifty-first year of Emperor Qianlong's reign (1786), after the monk Qingyun built the Five-Party Manjusri Hall, according to the appendix compiled by the author, Emperor Qianlong boarded Wutai Mountain and Dailuoding for the third time, which was a poem entitled "Sticking to the Dailuoding":
The top of the snail is not high, and the snowy road is quite slippery.
I was tricked into a golden wheel brake.
The lion king sits up with his feet in a bun.
Don't make a mistake, sixteen books and twenty-eight books.
Emperor Qianlong loved the natural scenery on the top of Dailuo and wanted to combine the five Manjusri Bodhisattvas on the top of Dailuo into one, so as to avoid the pain of climbing the top of five platforms, even the obstacles of wind, rain and snow. In the spring of forty-six years (178 1), Qianlong called the abbot Qingyun of Yanjiao Temple to the palace and asked him to do it. Five years later, he came to Dailuoding to worship the five Manjusri. Monk Qingyun combined five Manjusri Bodhisattvas into one temple according to the will of Emperor Qianlong. In the fifty-first year of Qianlong (1786), in March, Qianlong came to Dailuoding to pay a visit to the Five-Party Manjusri, opened the "Small Chaotai" in the history of Wutai Mountain, and carved poems on the stone tablet in front of the Five-Party Manjusri Hall in Dailuoding. Perhaps the idea of combining the five manjusris into one hall was the will of Emperor Qianlong, or perhaps the monk Qingyun and Xiaomisha knew a little about the scenery of Emperor Qianlong's preference for wearing a screw top, catering to the imperial decree and combining the five manjusris into a screw top.
In the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), Emperor Qianlong wrote the poem Deng Dailuoding:
Dai Luo is not higher than Ye Dou, and the east peak goes down.
North to east can be resumed, and bamboo shoots can be said in their leisure time.
Five steps and ten steps lead to a sigh of relief, and Yu Lin is a Qingqi.
Wanghaishan is closer to the east, but it is really small in the world.
Wutai Mountain is full of manjusri wisdom. In the temple, Xiao is true.
One is about five, and the other is about what is right. It is impossible to write King Kong Six.
Although Emperor Jiaqing did not visit Wutai Mountain, he enjoyed the scenery of Wutai Mountain on May 18th in the spring of the 16th year of Jiaqing (181), and wrote "Ode to Wutai Mountain" in the east, west, south, north and middle.
Since then, the monks in Chaoshan have all paid homage to the Hall of the Great Hero in this temple, which can replace five terraces and save a lot of distance. But there are also differences. Climb to the top of the five platforms and worship Manjusri Bodhisattva, called Dachaotai. Dengdai Luoding worships the Five Manjusri Bodhisattva, which is called Xiaochaotai. There is a saying that "if you don't climb the top of Daluo, you are not a guest of Mount Tai".
