The Great Wall of Ancient Qi

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were many Great Walls in China. In addition to the Great Wall of Yanzhao in the north, there are also the Great Wall of Qi, the Great Wall of Wei and the Great Wall of Chu. The Great Wall of Qi stretches across central Shandong and is 50 kilometers long in Linqu. Due to the changes of the times and the continuous development of the military, it gradually lost the significance of city defense and was not valued by the military. It was allowed to be eroded by wind and rain and man-made destruction. Now only the ruins and the Guanxu uplift are left in the mountains. The Great Wall is built along the mountains, rising and falling with the peaks, ridges and ravines. When encountering cliffs or steep slopes that are difficult to climb, use boulders to build stone walls 3-4 meters high.

When encountering gentle slopes, low-lying areas, or dog valleys, first fill the foundation with earth and rocks, and the base width will be 7-4 meters. -8 meters; generally in relatively flat areas, the base width is 8-10 meters. The bases of the walls are all made of large stones, ranging from 5 to 6 meters in width and about 3 meters in height. A wall is built on the foundation, which is a combination of earth and stone. The outside is covered with a stone wall, 1 meter wide, and each floor is connected with nails and stones. The interior is made of rammed earth, in the form of a traditional courtyard, surrounded by walls on all sides, separated by corridors and flower walls, and divided into three courtyards: east, middle and west. The main building is in the middle courtyard, with an arched archway-style mountain gate in front. The main entrance is high, and there is a stone plaque on the door with the three characters "Dongzhen Temple" engraved on it. The left and right side doors are slightly lower, and the tops of the three doors are all green glazed. Entering into a room with an arched mountain gate, the roof is also decorated with green tiles. To the east and west of the mountain gate, there are two general halls, also known as the "Shenjun Hall". At the back of the hall, the bell tower on the east side, the drum tower on the west side, and the second floor are all in pavilion style. It is now called "Yuxiang Pavilion". There are inscriptions of famous people on the front and back steps and on the left and right of the pavilion. Behind the "Yuxiang Pavilion" is the main hall, also known as the main hall, which is the main building of Dongzhen Temple. On all sides of the corridor, the stone railings are neat and exquisite, the roof is covered with green tiles, the eaves are flying out of the sky, and the masonry is neatly laid out. The carved beams and painted buildings are magnificent and dazzling. The shape, style and paintings of the entire hall are similar to those of the Forbidden City in Beijing. The altar in front of the hall has a nail railing structure, made of bluestone, and has a unique design. On the left side of the platform, there is the Jianlong Imperial Monument, and on the right there is the Yuan Dade Imperial Monument Pavilion.

On the door of the Xiyuan Mansion, there is a plaque with the four characters "Deep in the Mountains". The characters are in large-diameter ruler and written in running script. It is ancient, simple, powerful and beautiful. There are three couplets in the museum called "Jingfengxuan". In the middle, there is a scroll building, and on the forehead of the building, it says "spotless". The size, construction materials, masonry techniques, etc. of the East Courtyard Mansion are inferior to those of the West Courtyard.

The east, middle and west courtyards have more than 170 temples, halls, pavilions, verandas, Taoist rooms and houses, etc. It is the largest mountain temple in Qingzhou in ancient times. In the courtyard, there are ancient and famous trees that have been around for thousands of years, towering to the sky and blocking out the sun; ancient imperial steles from past dynasties, inscribed by everyone, stand like a forest, with more than 360 buildings in total. It is known as the "Forest of Steles in East Town".

“Famous mountains have few common objects, while ancient temples have many sacred trees.” Dongzhen Temple has a long history and naturally has many famous and ancient trees. There are only a few extant trees such as Han cypress, Tang locust and Yuan ginkgo.

Stone Buddha of the Northern Wei Dynasty

Dongzhen Yishan is the birthplace of local Buddhism in Qingzhou in ancient times. "Dongzhen Shu Yiji Notes" records: "Dongzhen temples and temples mostly offer stone statues. The ancient Taoist temples are inverted. The four hundred Buddhas...the carving work is so vivid and expressive." This temple is located at the east foot of Yishan Mountain, on the left bank of Wenshui River, in what is now Shangshang Temple Village. Mingdao Temple was built in the early Xian'an period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has more than 200 halls and rooms, more than 400 stone Buddha statues, and nearly 100 monks. It is the top Buddhist temple in Dongzhen and the activity center of local Buddhism in Qingzhou. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, during the "Huichang Dharma Disaster", the palaces were razed, the monks returned to secular life, the stone Buddhas were destroyed, and the wilderness was abandoned.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, when Buddhism was revived, the ascetics saw the remaining stone Buddhas with broken heads and feet, broken arms and bodies, and they were thrown into the temple ruins and ravines. They were in a mess and the scene was miserable, facing the Buddha.

Unable to bear the blasphemy and disrespect, he raised funds, cut stones through the ground at the center of the Mingdao Temple ruins, laid bricks into a chamber, collected broken Buddhist stones of various sizes, and buried them in it. Then a pagoda was built on it, called a "relic pagoda" for worship and sacrifice.

Thousands of years have passed, and after many vicissitudes and dynasties, the stupa has long been abandoned, the "dragon cave" is buried deep underground, and farmhouses have been built on it. However, after careful investigation and repeated research, the ruins of the stupa and its wall inscriptions were finally found, and rescue and excavations were carried out.

The "Dragon Cave" under the tower is a round pointed cave made of green bricks and several meters deep. There are piles of stone Buddha remains in the space, and the gaps are blocked with mud. After excavation and cleaning, 700 pieces of broken Buddha bodies, large and small, were finally unearthed. Most of them have few hands and feet, and their necks are broken and their waists are broken. Only a few of them are relatively intact. Most of the stone Buddhas are standing statues, varying in size. The materials used for carving are mainly bluestone with light yellow markings for large statues, followed by calcareous sandstone, a small amount of talc, and several pottery Buddhas.

In terms of carving form, large Buddha statues are all in the round, medium-sized statues are in deep relief and half in the round, and small ones are mostly in deep relief and some are in the round. The larger Buddha's seat is also decorated with openwork. Many statues have Buddhist stories engraved in bas-relief or line on the backlight, necklight, around the Buddha's seat and on the back. The content is vivid, interesting and thought-provoking. There are 11 types of statues, including Sakyamuni Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Lushena Buddha; Bodhisattvas include Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Avalokitesvara, Ksitigarbha, Ksitigarbha, and twenty-five who accompany Amitabha. There are dozens of kinds of Bodhisattvas, too numerous to mention; the Ming Kings mainly include the five famous kings of Fudo Ming King, Dawei De, Vajra Yaksha, Gundali, and the Three Worlds; the Heavens include Jixiang, Skills, Brahma, Low Shakti, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Ministry, pharmacists, twelve divine generals, etc. Some of the Buddha statues have inscriptions engraved on the backlight, neck light or around the Buddha's seat. The calligraphy is in the Wei style. Most of the inscriptions are regular and the writing is powerful. They are rare inscriptions. Most of the inscriptions date from the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, and Western Wei, with most of them from the late Northern Wei and early Eastern Wei, followed by the Western Wei, Northern Qi, and less from the Northern Zhou. Although there are some from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there are only a few. Most of the statues are painted in pastels. Except for the smallest ones, few have plastic faces. There are still a few gilded statues. All the stone Buddha statues have a thin face, a light body, and wide robes. The clothes have dense pleats, tight and continuous, in the shape of a ladder. The important patterns are mostly reliefs of lotus, honeysuckle, flames, etc., which have a strong Han and Wei style. From the age of the inscriptions and the modeling characteristics, it is easy to see that these stone Buddha statues were mainly carved from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. They are rare ancient stone statues.

Judging from the broken parts of the stone Buddha, most of them are on the neck and limbs. Every broken part has a smashing surface, and there are many of them. It must be deliberately smashed. According to the degree of weathering of the Buddha's stone, it can be inferred that when the remains were returned to the Dragon Cave under the stupa, it had been destroyed about 150 years ago. The stone Buddha was destroyed at the end of the Tang Dynasty. According to Volume 18 of the "Old Book of Tang·Wuzong Ji", it is uploaded: Emperor Wuzong Li Yan favored the Taoist Zhao Guizhen, and Zhen suppressed and destroyed the Shi family. The evil monks and nuns of the emperor consumed the world, and ordered the demolition of Buddhist temples all over the world... Temples all over the world were abandoned. ..…. The destruction of the Buddha this time is what history calls the "Huichang Dharma Disaster". The broken stone Buddha in Yishan in the Northern Wei Dynasty was the product of this Dharma Disaster.

This batch of stone Buddha statues is from an early age and is more than 1,590 years old. There are many in number, and there are more than 200 people who have become Buddhas independently. There are all kinds of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Mingwangs, and gods. There are various shapes, including sitting, standing, squatting, flying, kneeling and lying down, and various postures. The expressions are different, including joy, anger, worry, fear, love, hatred and desire. The conception is exquisite, the sculpture is beautiful, the proportion is well-proportioned and natural, the image is lifelike and lifelike. The carvings are properly carved, the lines are smooth, the work is meticulous, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. Its excavation provides precious physical historical materials for studying the social, political and economic conditions of my country's Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, the rise and fall of Buddhism, the struggle between monks and Taoists, the movement to destroy Buddhism in history, as well as ancient sculpture art, calligraphy and painting, etc.

The Stone Buddha of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Yishan, Dongzhen, is the crystallization of the knowledge of the working people, a masterpiece of Buddhist art, and a rare cultural relic treasure in China.

Cliff Statues

Dongzhen Yishan not only has many monasteries and nunneries, but also stone houses, grottoes, and cliff statues. They are early in age, numerous in number, and exquisitely carved, especially Tilting his head. The cliff statues in Waitou Gu were built in the mid-Northern Wei Dynasty. They are mostly large Buddha and Bodhisattva statues in low relief. There are more than 60 of them, and they are concentrated on the west and south cliffs of Waitou Gu. The scale is extremely impressive. In the fifth year of Jiande in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (574), Emperor Wu Yuwenyong ordered the demolition of temples and the destruction of Buddhas, and the cliff statues in Waitougu were inevitably spared. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the rise of Buddhism, in addition to building the Lanruo temple in Guangzhen, Dongzhen, a large-scale work on metal and stone was also carried out, and Buddhist statues were once again carved on the cliffs of Waitougu. This time it covers a wide area, starting from the stone wall on the east side of Huazhi Terrace in the south to the upper and lower cliffs of Nantianmen in the north. There are more than a hundred large statues alone, and the types are relatively complete. The form is mostly bas-relief, but also has line carvings. The Buddha statues vary in size, are delicately carved, and are realistic and lifelike. The cliff statues at Waitougu are a rare group of statues regardless of quantity or quality. During the "Huichang Incident" in the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was destroyed again, and the cliff statues that had been built for nearly 200 years were completely destroyed in a few days. Since then, the statue group has not been re-carved or re-engraved. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were very few left.

The only remaining statue of Guanyin is located on the east cliff outside Nantianmen. The statue is a seated statue, 1.2 meters high, with bas-relief carvings, rich and graceful shapes, a serene and dignified expression, fine carvings and vivid lifelike features. Based on the statue's plump face, well-proportioned parts, both form and spirit, loose pleats, and accessories, as well as its degree of weathering, it is inferred that the Buddha statue was carved in the Tang Dynasty.

The statue of "Guanyin to Save Suffering" has been around for more than 1,000 years. It has experienced prosperous temple fairs filled with incense in the valley, enjoyed worship ceremonies in the world, and also witnessed the catastrophe of the storm that destroyed the Buddha. It is the source of the "Huichang Disaster" The only survivor is a precious historical relic.

Nantianmen

In the southwest corner of Waitougu in Dongyi Mountain, at the end of the "Eighteen Pans", there is a small attic high on the top of the cliff, named "Nantianmen". Gu's only entrance and exit portal.

The gate was built in the Tang Dynasty and is in the archway style. In the early Northern Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by lightning. It was rebuilt in the first year of Mingdao (1032) of Renzong in a more attic style. It was renovated in Chenghuajian in Ming Dynasty and changed to garrison style. Rebuilt in the early Qing Dynasty, it is still made in the past. The left and northeast sides of the gate are connected to the rocks of Guding Mountain. The other sides are facing cliffs and deep valleys. The terrain is isolated and lean, and it is steep and dangerous.

It can be said that "one man can guard the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it" "The key point. This gate was repeatedly destroyed by bandits during the middle period of the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, and fell into disrepair. In the autumn of the eleventh year (1872), due to heavy rain, the building collapsed, the base wall cracked, and the forehead fell to the bottom of the cliff and broke. All that remains are the paintings and forehead rubbings of his "temple preservation". After the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China, the monks returned to secular life, and the pictures and films were sold and lost.

It was a prosperous time, with all industries flourishing and tourism revitalized. In 1994, Yishan National Forest Park developed the Waitougu Scenic Area, restored the historical sites, and rebuilt the Nantianmen. The gate had been destroyed for a long time, and there were few historical records and lack of evidence of its construction. Fortunately, the descendants of Ji Mengtao, a Yi native, have preserved the relevant items for more than 70 years. Drawings and rubbings of the door were also presented. It was restored at the old site according to the graphics, and the inscription written by Li Ang in the Ming Dynasty was engraved on the stone and inlaid on the lintel, so that the ancient building that has experienced more than 1,300 years can be restored to its original appearance and reappear in the world.

Yishan Nantianmen has been destroyed for more than 120 years, but now, less than half a year later, it suddenly stands on the top of the famous mountain, regaining its heroic appearance, showing a new look, and welcoming Chinese and foreign guests.

The stone carvings of "Penglai in the World"

To the south of Waitou Gu, there are overlapping cliffs, hundreds of vertical towers, towering above the clouds. Its sides are relatively flat and wide, and there are many stone carvings.

Unfortunately, these carvings have been completely destroyed by weathering, weathering, cracking, and exposure to rain and sun. Nowadays, many of them are unclear. Among them, the stone carvings of "Penglai in the World" in the late Qing Dynasty are still as clear as ever. The inscription is carved on the ocher cliff on the left side outside Nantianmen. The characters are arranged side by side and arranged with ups and downs, vivid and natural. The characters are large and square, in official script, simple and beautiful, vigorous and straight, with double hooks engraved in the form. At the end of the inscription, there are small inscriptions in inscriptions in two lines: "Tongzhi Yi Chou, Yi Zi Shu." Although the stone carving has only four characters, it vividly describes the strange mountains and rivers of Yishan Waitougu, and the clouds and mists are always there, just like the wonderland of the East China Sea.

The temple was first built during Jingyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty. It was repaired in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, and the "Fu Temple" and the "Jiutian Xuannv Temple" were added respectively. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, it fell into disrepair and collapsed. In 1915, it was rebuilt again. Due to the mountain top The ground is uneven, the temple is small, and the structure is rough and crude.

Dongzhen Temple Forest

Dongzhen Yishan has a long history. In the third year of Taichu in the Western Han Dynasty (102 BC), Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty personally visited him and ordered the officials to worship him, and then built various temples. In the dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty killed Guizhang; in the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (594), he ordered a temple to be built on the mountain, and a nearby shaman was taken to sweep the pine and cypress trees; in the 10th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (636) Year) Yishan was granted the title of "Dong'an Gong"; Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty issued an edict to grant Yishan the title of "King of Dong'an"; Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty granted Yishan the title of "King of Dong'an of Yuande"; Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty conferred the title of Zhengshen, known as, p>

"The God of Yishan in Dongzhen", Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty decreed that Yishan be named "the God of Blessing and Defense of the People" and decreed that every year in the middle of Spring and Autumn, Yishan would be specially worshiped by his locality to protect the local officials and officials, and whenever there was a national ceremony , or "the weather was unfavorable and the land was not peaceful" and "the army was launched to fight", the emperor also personally or sent important ministers to Dongzhen to pay tribute. Due to the imperial sacrifice and the majesty and beauty of Yishan, celebrities and poets came in droves to enjoy the sightseeing. During this period, a large number of ancient steles and stone carvings were left, which are scattered inside and outside the temple and stand like a forest, so it is known as the "Dongzhen Forest of Steles". According to incomplete statistics in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), there are more than 360 ancient monuments. There were also additions during Xuantong and the Republic of China. The monuments vary in size, with the tallest being nearly 7 meters and the low being about 3 meters tall. The materials used are mostly bluestone and very little granite. The earliest one was the Western Han Dynasty, and the later one was the Republic of China. There are 16 imperial monuments among them, but now only 4 are left. The earliest Yuan Dade Imperial Monument is located in the southwest corner of the altar in the main hall. The crown of the stele is decorated with four green dragons in relief, and its shape is beautiful and vivid. The main stele is engraved with the text "Edict to Confer Five Towns" in the second year of Emperor Chengzong's reign in the Yuan Dynasty. Then there is the Hongwu Imperial Monument of the Ming Dynasty, located on the east side of the altar, on a higher ground, opposite to the Dade Imperial Monument across the platform. Its materials and structure are the same as those of the Yuan Monument. Its shape is ingenious, its carvings are exquisite, its image is majestic, its head is held high and its neck is ready to move, and it is as if it is alive. It is known as the "divine turtle". When tourists come to Dongzhen Temple, they often take photos here. The main stele is engraved with the imperial edict "Edict Dingyue Zhenhai Redemption God" in the third year of Hongwu, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. This stele has a special style.

The imperial stele of Dade of Emperor Chengzong of the Yuan Dynasty

Feng Yishan was named the King of Dong'an in the Yuan Dynasty

It is simple and elegant, majestic and tall. It is Dongzhen The best of the Forest of Steles. The remaining two steles are the imperial steles of the Yishan Mountains in Dongzhen, the ancestors of the Kangxi and Qianlong emperors of the Qing Dynasty. They are more than ten feet high. On the left, they say "Zhong of Spiritual Energy", which is an ode to the fiftieth year of Kangxi's reign. On the right is "Dadong accompanies Yue, an ode to the 20th year of Qianlong's reign".

The imperial stele of Kangxi has a relatively complete crown. Although the stele body is broken into several pieces, only the lower part of the inscription "Suo" is slightly incomplete. Of the Qianlong imperial stele, only the crown, the upper part of the word "大" and the "Treasure of Qianlong's imperial brush" seal were found. The rest are being excavated and will soon be re-erected in the forest of stele in Dongzhen. Except for the other inscriptions left by imperial envoys and local officials to pay tribute to Dongzhen, the remaining inscriptions are also inscribed by famous people who visited Yishan.

These ancient steles not only record the imperial edicts and sacrifices made to Yishan by the officials of the past dynasties, but also record the events of natural disasters such as wind and rain, drought and floods, earthquakes and collapses, as well as the national Changes, foreign invasions, internal strife, and border military situations also praised Dongzhen's unique mountains, rivers, and beautiful scenery. The fonts of the stele include regular, cursive, official, seal, running script and crazy cursive script. The engraving form includes inverted inscriptions, positive inscriptions and double hooks. The base and crown of the stele are decorated with lace patterns, deep and shallow reliefs, and line carvings in various forms. The literary styles include edicts, memorial texts, notes, poems, lyrics, songs, rhymes, essays, inscriptions, etc., of which memorial inscriptions and poems and prose each account for a small half. The length of the article varies from a few thousand words to a dozen. The subject matter is wide ranging, ranging from national political events to local anecdotes. Dongzhen Forest of Steles is a rare art treasure in China. It is a precious physical historical material for studying the social, political and economic conditions, natural changes, literature, calligraphy and sculpture art in ancient my country.

Because the stele was placed in the open air and allowed to be corroded by wind and rain, some of the inscriptions on the stele were unclear and some were broken and toppled over time. Especially in the past hundred years, there have been frequent wars and military disasters. In addition, the relics of the old temples were not taken seriously by people, and the damage was serious. In order to protect and manage cultural relics and ancient books and revitalize the forest of steles in Dongzhen, the county organized an excavation and sorting of the remaining steles and fragments. After the excavation and investigation were completed, construction and restoration started in the autumn of 1985. After two construction projects in 1986 and 1987, nearly 100 ancient steles were restored and 2 volumes of "Dongzhen Forest of Steles Collected Works" were compiled. At this point, the forest of steles that had been completely destroyed for thousands of years has begun to flourish again and regain its spring. With the further deepening of various works, ancient steles have been reappeared one after another, and the forest of steles in Dongzhen will be improved day by day.

Climb Yishan

Climb Yifeng during the holidays and take in the lush greenery in all directions

Stepping on the clouds on top of the Jade Emperor, tilting his head and sighing in confusion

Walking around ancient temples and listening to pines, stopping at mountain residences to listen to songs

After passing the waterfall to wash away the light dust, we entered the Forest of Steles to look for traces of poetry

Appreciating acacia flowers in Yishan

The acacia flowers bloom early at the foot of the mountain, and the acacia flowers on the mountainside are still fragrant;

I floated up from the sea of ??flowers, and the acacia stamens on the top of the mountain are just beginning to turn yellow.

Climbing the Baizhang Cliff of Yishan Mountain

White clouds surround the cliff, and it is not difficult to climb it.

The sound of gurgling water leads me to the top of the mountain.

The true appearance of the waterfall can be seen before your eyes.

Thousands of streams gather hundreds of feet and turn into smoke when they fall.

In the misty mid-air, fall to the ground and return to nature.

It also turns into a clear stream to nourish thousands of acres of fields.

Feelings when watching the pine clouds in Yishan Mountain

Watching the pine waves in Yishan Mountain, white clouds surround them.

Suspicious in the blue sky, look up at the high red sun.
