I am very happy to have you here today. At the same time, I hope my service can satisfy you. Standing next to me is master Wang, the driver of our tour. Master Wang has more than ten years of driving experience. I'm very skilled in driving. You can give us two hearts, rest assured to our Master Wang, happy to me, let's share this journey together.
Members of the group, our tour bus is driving on the Foguang avenue into the mountain. As it will take a long time from here to Jiuhua street, I'd like to introduce Jiuhua Mountain to you first. Jiuhua Mountain is mainly located in Chizhou City and Qingyang County. It is an important scenic spot in the north of two mountains and one lake in Anhui Province. The area of the scenic spot is 120 square kilometers. Jiuhua Mountain covers 174 square kilometers and is now a national 5A scenic spot. A national civilized tourist area. One of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. It is known as an International Buddhist dojo.
Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province has a beautiful scenery. In the Southern Dynasties, the mountain was higher than the clouds, and there were nine of them. People called it Jiuzi mountain. Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, visited Jiuhua Mountain, saw the lotus flowers on the nine peaks, and wrote "there are two wonderful things, and Lingshan opens Jiuhua." It's a beautiful poem. Jiuhua Mountain is a famous granite mountain. Its main peak, Shiwang peak, is 1342 meters above sea level. It is a beautiful place in Jiuhua Mountain.
Anhui Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Together with Putuo Mountain, Emei Mountain and Wutai Mountain, they are called the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. In the 7th century A.D., the prince of Silla sailed to the East and visited famous mountains. Finally, he chose Jiuhua Mountain and practiced hard for decades. After his death, his body was not rotten. People thought that Jin qiaojue was the incarnation of the Bodhisattva of the king of Tibet. From then on, Jiuhua Mountain was regarded as the Taoist temple of the Bodhisattva of the king of Tibet. From then on, the king of Tibetans was also called jintibetans.
OK, now our tour bus has arrived at the entrance of Jiuhua street. Please take 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 meters and a span of 8 meters. Do you know who wrote the word "Jiuhua Shengjing" on the banner of the 5-meter Jiuhua Shengjing gate? Yes, it was written by Emperor Kangxi. Through the gate square, is there an extraordinary feeling of entering the 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 the only descendant jungle temple in Jiuhua Mountain. It is a typical composite building. Its Mountain Gate deviates from the central axis of the main hall. The external Mountain Gate is not the carelessness of the construction, but the attention. It is said that one is to avoid evil, and the other is to face kaishanzu temple and Huacheng temple. Moreover, on the front wall of Zhiyuan temple, there is a big word "Taishan shigandang" which is very eye-catching. It is said that it is also for avoiding evil spirits and suppressing demons, which is unique to Zhiyuan temple.
The Dharma of Zhiyuan temple is solemn and complete, which is the best of all. There are statues of Maitreya, four heavenly kings, Bodhisattva Weituo and eighteen Arhats in the temple. Among them, the most solemn one is the 12 meter high pharmacist Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Sakyamuni Buddha. The statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and arhat in the temple are arranged in a standard way with exquisite workmanship and vivid images.
Zhiyuan temple was built in the Ming Dynasty, ranking first among the four jungles in Jiuhua Mountain. The Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist Association has held many large-scale preaching, preaching and praying for peace and disaster relief Dharma meetings here. Now it holds more than 1000 Buddhist activities such as waterway Dharma meeting and Yankou every year. It is one of the Buddhist activity centers in the whole mountain.
Now we come to Huacheng temple. Huacheng temple is the first temple in Jiuhua Mountain. Now it is a national key temple, and it was turned into a museum of historical relics in the late 1970s. The exhibition is divided into two parts: the first part shows the life story of Jin dizang; the second part shows precious historical relics. Some of the Scriptures are the treasures of the temple.
There is a release pool in front of the temple. It is said that it was dug by Jin dizang when he led his disciples to build Huacheng temple. In front of the pool is Huacheng square, on which there is an empress tower in memory of jindizang's mother.
The next thing we are going to do is go to Zen hall. Shangchan hall is located on the hillside in the south of Shenguang Lingnan, which is a national key protected temple. Shangchan hall has three characteristics: the most peaceful incense, the best scenery and the most beautiful temple. The TV series journey to the West was filmed here.
After visiting shangchan temple, now we come to the most wonderful body hall. The body hall, also known as "Dicang tomb", was built in the first year of Zhenguan of Tang Dynasty. It was originally a three-story stone pagoda. The buried body was jindicang body, so it is commonly known as the body pagoda. Because there was golden light in the base of the pagoda, later generations named it Shenguang mountain. The characteristics of the hall of flesh can be summarized as "there are towers in the hall, tanks in the towers, and flesh in the tanks." Please follow me into the hall. Please look at the 16 gold words on the banner over there, "all living beings are exhausted, and Bodhi is proved. Hell is empty, and I swear not to become a Buddha." It's the vow of Bodhisattva dizang. In fact, the Bodhisattva of Tibet could have become a Buddha, but he is willing to go to the most miserable hell of the six samsara to spread all living beings. If the hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha. Before the birth of Maitreya Buddha in the future, he undertakes the important task of universal salvation. The body hall is the symbol of Jiuhua Mountain. Every time there is a Dharma meeting in Tibet, there is a sea of people and it is unprecedented.
Attention, everyone. We are going to take the cable car to the centenary palace. Please pay attention to your safety and line up orderly.
Now we are in the centenary palace. Baishuigong, also known as baishuian, is now a key national temple dedicated to the body of monk Haiyu. On the building, the terrain of high in the South and low in the north is used to form a five storey horse passage. The temple is integrated with the surrounding peaks, stones and caves, and the temple is combined with the mountain. The centenary palace is the representative of Jiuhuashan ancient temple, which is well received by Chinese and foreign tourists.
Dear tourists, today's tour of Jiuhua Street scenic spot is over. Thank you for your support and cooperation. Please forgive me for the poor service.

Jiuhua Mountain, located in Qingyang County, South Anhui Province, is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in China. Liu Yuxi, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, praised Jiuhua Mountain after climbing it. He thought that the famous mountains in the world could not compete with Jiuhua Mountain. Li Bai went to Mount Jiuhua three times. Jiuhua Mountain is characterized by beautiful mountains and numerous Buddhist temples.
As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty (401), temples began to be built on the mountain. Later, they were added and expanded to form "one small temple in three li, one big temple in five li". The temples spread all over the mountain. It is said that there were more than 300 temples with 4500 monks in the prosperous period. At present, there are still 50 or 60 intact temples.
When you visit Jiuhua Mountain, you first go to Jiuhua street, which is more than 600 meters above sea level. It is the center of Jiuhua Mountain, and temples are mainly concentrated here, so it is called "Lotus Buddha kingdom". This 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 starting point to visit the scenic spots on the mountain.
Huacheng temple on Jiuhua street is the oldest ancient temple of Jin Dynasty in Jiuhua Mountain. It is also the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain. The architecture of the temple is arranged according to the mountain situation, reflecting the superb art of architectural design. In the temple, there is an ancient clock which is more than ten feet high and weighs about 2000 Jin. It is exquisitely cast and has a loud voice. It is struck with a mallet. The solemn and clear sound of the bell reverberates in the valley, which often makes people feel 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 gold characters: "imperial grant to the centenary palace, protect the country Wannian Temple". It is said that in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a monk named Wuxu. At the age of 26, he came to Jiuhua Mountain and spent 100 years in a rare cave. Three years after his death, his body was found in the cave. The monk on the mountain thought that he was reincarnated, so he offered his body in gold. Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty granted him the title of "Yingshen Bodhisattva". As a result, the small temple dedicated to him flourished, and the temple expanded to become one of the four jungles in Jiuhua Mountain. Visitors can see the golden body of the flawless monk in the temple's body 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 Jiuhua Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1300 meters. There is a saying that "if you 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 you are out of breath and reach the top of the roof, the scenery in front of you will make you open-minded and tired. All around the mountains crawling, looking at Jiuhua street, only palm so big. Looking from afar, heaven and earth are integrated, and the Yangtze River is indistinctly visible. The clear mountain wind brings waves of pines and bamboos, which makes people intoxicated. The surrounding rocks are strange in shape and mostly dark. There is a huge stone engraved with the word "non human". At this moment, it really makes people feel like they are in the fairyland of Penglai. It is said that watching the sunrise on the rooftop is no less magnificent than watching the sunrise on Mount Tai. Therefore, "Tiantai xiaori" is listed as one of the "ten sceneries of Jiuhua".
Jiuhua Mountain is a fascinating lotus kingdom. It is characterized by splendid Buddhist culture and wonderful natural landscape. It is a national key scenic spot of mountain type for sightseeing, viewing and carrying out scientific and cultural activities. Since the reform and opening up, Foshan, an ancient city, has bathed in the sunrise of the flourishing age, with new appearance and vitality. Now it is a national AAAA tourist area and a national civilized scenic spot demonstration site. Jiuhua Mountain is located in the southeast of Chizhou City. It is the brand of Chizhou tourism, the pride of Chizhou people, and a bright pearl in the scenic spot of "two mountains and one lake" in Anhui Province. In order to make the famous mountain more beautiful and more advanced in international tourism, the Management Committee of Jiuhua Mountain scenic area has guided and organized relevant departments to compile this book. The comrades of the Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist Culture Research Association, especially some veteran comrades, retired and worked hard to complete the compilation task in a very short time. This kind of spirit is very valuable. 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 to learn and use, and can also be read and appreciated by tourists. I believe that the publication of this book will bring you into the realm of Jiuhuashan culture, which is profound, long-standing and wonderful. I have worked in Chizhou for many years and deeply love Jiuhua Mountain. I would like to extend my 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 of Buddhism, beautiful natural scenery, mysterious physical phenomenon and peculiar regional culture have made the famous mountains colorful and charming.
Tour guide words and scenic spots of famous mountains are just like the finishing touch of dragon painting. In the face of such a famous mountain as Jiuhua Mountain, a good tour guide word can help you listen to its historical echo, trace its cultural origin, and listen to its wonderful legends; it can lead you to visit the traces of celebrities, appreciate the profundity of Buddhism, and feel the legend of the flesh. In a word, a good tour guide is like a window and a bridge. Through it, you can enhance your pleasure and guide you into Jiuhua Mountain for sightseeing and exploration.
However, for a long time, there have been many kinds of tour guide words in Jiuhua Mountain, and sometimes there are several different versions of the same scenic spot, which makes tourists and pilgrims confused. What's more, the historical anecdotes of Jiuhua Mountain were picked up at random, so as to influence the image of Jiuhua Mountain. Two years ago, at the beginning of my work in Jiuhua Mountain, director Gao Weiqing of the provincial tourism administration asked me to organize the compilation of a standardized tour guide. With the strong support of all walks of life, several comrades of the Jiuhua Mountain Buddhist Culture Research Association, especially the retired old comrades, worked hard and kept on writing, which finally made the Jiuhua Mountain tour guide come out. Here, I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the authors.
Jiuhuashan tour guide's speech is about 140000 words. It is well quoted and full of historical materials. It is not only subtle but also easy to understand. At the same time, it imitates tour guide. It is catchy and fascinating. It integrates knowledge, interest and practicality. It is an innovative work. It is believed that the publication of this book can rectify the source, eliminate the turnip and save the turnip. It will promote the unification and standardization of Jiuhuashan tour guide's explanation, and play a role in strengthening Jiuhuashan's external publicity and enhancing its influence.
Jiuhua culture has a long history, broad and profound, which can not be summarized by a tour guide. It needs to be explored and sorted out by the world. Organizing the compilation of tour guide words is an attempt in the cultural construction of scenic spots. It is inevitable that there are omissions. We welcome your advice.
Friends: I'm the tour guide of Jiuhuashan (__) travel agency. Welcome to Anhui Jiuhuashan.

Now we come to the body palace of Jiuhua Mountain. When we talk about the body palace of Jiuhua Mountain, we have to mention one person. This man, Jin qiaojue, is a foreigner. He comes from ancient Silla, which is today the southeast of the Korean Peninsula. According to historical records, Jin qiaojue was a prince of Silla. At the age of 24, he cut his hair to become a monk and sailed from Silla to China. He traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in China, and finally settled down in Jiuhua Mountain to practice. And in accordance with the vow of Bodhisattva dizang: "hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha.". During his practice in Jiuhua Mountain, Jin qiaojue subdued the beasts and collected herbs. While he was treating the people on the mountain, he preached sutras and widely practiced Buddhism, which was deeply loved by the people. Jin qiaojue gradually became famous and received many disciples. Even local officials went up to the mountain to listen to Buddhism and recite his deeds to the imperial court. As a result, more and more people follow Jin qiaojue. Because of the high mountains, dense forests and little land, the monks could not support themselves with food, so they had to eat guanyintu. Because of long-term malnutrition, people at that time called Jin qiaojue "haggard monk" and his disciples "haggard people". However, the more difficult it was, the more firm Jin qiaojue's faith was and the more respected he was. Even the monks of Silla came to follow him one after another. After ninety-nine years old as like as two peas, Jin Qiaojue died, and the body had not rotted for three years. His face was just like before his death. These supernatural phenomena are similar to those of the Tibetan king Bodhisattva recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. It happened that jinqiaojue was named jindizang, so Buddhism confirmed him as the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva king of dizang. People built pagodas and tombs to worship him. Since then, Jiuhua Mountain has become a well-known Taoist Center for the king of Tibetans.
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 of parents. The so-called "body" of Buddhism refers to the body of the eminent monk after his death. Although his body has gone through a long period of time, it has not been decayed and festered, and has maintained its original shape and lifelike. Only monks and nuns who have reached a very high level of practice can form a physical body. The body is different from the "Mummy" in Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the funeral ceremony was very simple, just digging a shallow pit in the desert to bury. Due to the dry desert climate, the body quickly dehydrated when it came into contact with the hot sand, the bacteria were killed, and the mummy was formed by natural action. Later, after death, the internal organs, brain and other tissues were taken out, and then the corpse was treated 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 is humid all the year round, and the climate is humid. There is no natural condition to produce mummies, and the body has not been treated with any medicine. So far, this peculiar physical phenomenon has not been scientifically explained.
There are many precious cultural relics in the body hall and its cultural relics exhibition room. Some of them are gifts for the royal family. It is very rare 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 is a traditional temple fair in Jiuhua Mountain. Monks, nuns and pilgrims from all over the country come here to hold Buddhist activities and gather around the body pagoda to watch the night for the king of Tibetans. Nearby urban and rural residents also go to the mountain for folk cultural entertainment activities. Thousands of tourists and pilgrims, chanting Buddha's name day and night, surrounded by cigarettes and drumming, present a grand ceremony.

1. Picturesque scenery and famous mountains
Jiuhua Mountain is famous for its wonderful natural scenery. In the Southern Dynasties, the mountains were so beautiful that they were higher than the clouds, and the peaks were so strange that there were nine of them, so they were called Jiuzi mountain. When Li Bai visited the mountains in the Tang Dynasty, he saw the nine peaks like lotus flowers, and wrote the verses of "the wonderful is divided into two parts, the Lingshan opens the nine flowers" and "the green water in the Tianhe River shows the nine lotus flowers", and changed the name of Jiuzi to Jiuhua. The main body of Jiuhua Mountain is composed of granite. Due to the influence of structure, lithology and external force, it has formed a magnificent and beautiful landscape with peaks as the main body, basins and valleys, streams and springs interwoven. There are more than 70 famous peaks in Jiuhua Mountain, more than 30 peaks over 1000 meters, and the highest Shiwang peak is 1342 meters above sea level. Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty praised when he viewed the mountain: "the sight of a strange peak is breathtaking" and "he is a creature of nature". Five streams in Shanxi flow into liuquankou and into the Yangtze River through Wuxi River and Jiuhua River; three streams in Shannan and two streams in Shandong flow into Taiping Lake through Sanxi River and Lingyang River respectively. The mountains are full of ravines, ravines, pools, flowing springs and waterfalls. "A Wang Wei painting by the river, a poem written by Li Bai for thousands of years.". Jiuhua Mountain is a fresh and natural landscape painting. Jiuhua Mountain is full of sceneries, which change step by step. In Qing Dynasty, there are "ten sceneries of Jiuhua". After opening to the outside world, eight new scenic spots and more than 100 new scenic spots have been opened up. The new and old scenic spots complement each other, and the natural beauty and cultural landscape blend with each other. In addition, the four distinct seasons, sunrise, sunset, sea of clouds, fog, snow, graupel, Buddha light and other celestial wonders make people forget to return.
2. Dizang Daochang, a famous Buddhist mountain
Jiuhua Mountain is one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism in China. The famous Tibetan Bodhisattva Daochang, whose founder is xinluoseng dizang. In the 7th century, under the background of frequent exchanges between the Tang Dynasty and the Korean Peninsula, King qiaojue, the prince of Silla, came to visit famous mountains, Zhuo Xi Jiuhua, and practiced hard for decades. After his death, he was regarded as the "spiritual manifestation" of the Bodhisattva in dizang. Because of his common surname Jin, he was called jindizang. Since then, Jiuhua Mountain has been established as a way of Bodhisattva in Tibet. In the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 20 temples in Jiuhua Mountain, which developed to more than 40 in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the main temple, Huacheng temple, became the total jungle with dozens of squatters. There were more than 100 temples in the whole mountain, and the incense was flourishing, which was "the top of southeast mountains". So Jiuhua Mountain, together with Wutai, Emei and Putuo, is known as the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism. In the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 150 temples in Jiuhuashan. From the total jungle Huacheng temple, there were four big jungles: Zhiyuan temple, Dongya temple, baishuigong temple and Ganlu temple. Among the four big Foshan temples, it was famous for "the best incense in the world". After the opening to the outside world in the late 1970s, Foshan, an ancient city, was bathed in the sunrise of the flourishing age, with its vitality reappeared and its old appearance revived. At present, there are more than 90 monasteries, including 9 National Key monasteries and 30 provincial key monasteries, more than 600 monks, more than 10000 Buddha statues and more than 2000 Buddhist cultural relics. Temples are generally maintained, Buddhist activities are carried out normally, and foreign exchanges are frequent. Mount Jiuhua Buddhism keeps friendly exchanges with Buddhist groups in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the United States, Thailand, Hong Kong and Baodao, and more than 100 monks have visited abroad. In today's Buddhist monasteries in China, Jiuhua Mountain is widely praised for its profound Buddhist culture, International Buddhist taste, and integration of monks and customs. It has become a distinctive and influential Buddhist holy land.
3. It has a long history and famous culture
The combination of religious culture and landscape culture and a large number of historical and cultural activities make Jiuhua Mountain a famous cultural mountain with a long history and rich accumulation. More than 2000 years ago, Taoists stopped at Jiuhua Mountain, and Jiuhua is called "thirty-nine blessed places" in the book of "a study of blessed places". Up to now, there are more than 20 sites of Taoist activities and Taoist temples. In 401, the fifth year of Long'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tianzhu monk Beidu founded Maoan in Jiuhua, and Buddhism began to spread to Jiuhua Mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, the new Buddhist monk established the dizang Daochang, which was "a magnificent place with great splendor"; in the Ming Dynasty, it became one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism in China, which lasted for a long time. Taoism and Buddhism make Jiuhua Mountain famous and attract numerous celebrities and poets. After Li Bai, many scholars came one after another. They lived in seclusion in Jiuhua and wrote books. They created books: gathering people to give lectures. They went out to study and visit Taoism. They expressed their love for mountains and rivers and wrote poems and paintings. There are more than 20 Book sites in Jiuhua Mountain, such as Taibai book Hall, Yangming book and Ganquan book. Jiuhua Mountain is also the hometown of folk songs. There are more than 300 children's songs, labor songs and ritual songs, many of which have Buddhist color and vividly express the thoughts, feelings and life interests of the working people. The imperial court of the past dynasties also attached great importance to Jiuhua. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty issued imperial edicts and silver grants. The Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty wrote "Jiuhua Holy Land" and "fantuo PuJiao". More than 50 temples in Jiuhua Mountain were granted by the imperial court. A large number of historical and cultural activities have left a wealth of historical relics. There are more than 2000 historical relics in Jiuhua Mountain, including nearly 100 precious relics. After opening to the outside world, we attached great importance to the development of cultural resources, made great efforts to excavate and sort out Buddhist culture, established "jindizang Research Association" and Buddhist Culture Research Association, founded Buddhist Academy, and set up cultural relics museum. Cultural resources were initially developed and had a wide influence at home and abroad. The culture of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, ghost culture, architecture culture, stone carving culture, folk culture, food culture, tea culture and body culture are amazing.

Jiuhua Mountain is located in Chizhou City, Anhui Province. It is the main scenic spot of the "two mountains and one lake" golden tourist area in Anhui Province. It has beautiful scenery and numerous ancient temples. It is also known 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 called Jiuzi mountain in the Tang Dynasty, because Jiuhua Mountain has beautiful peaks. There are nine peaks above the clouds, so there are nine Jiuzi mountains. During the reign of Tang Tianbao, Li Bai, the immortal poet, had been here twice. He wrote down such ancient lines as "wonderful is divided into two parts, Lingshan opens Jiuhua, Tianhe hangs green water, and shows jiufurong". Jiuhua Mountain got its name and has been used to this day.
Jiuhua Mountain has a long history of religious activities. Taoism first developed in Jiuhua Mountain, and Buddhism became more prosperous. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, King qiaojue, the prince of Silla, sailed eastward to visit famous mountains, and finally chose to practice in our Jiuhua Mountain. Sleep in the cave on the mountain at night, drink the mountain spring water when thirsty, and eat the wild plants when hungry. Finally, at the age of 99, he passed away. Buddhist circles believe that he practiced hard before his death, and after his death, he was consistent with the Bodhisattva of Tibetans recorded in the Buddhist scriptures. He was respected as the Bodhisattva of Tibetans. Because his family name was Jin when he was not a monk, he was also called Jin Tibetans. Since then, Jiuhua Mountain has been established as the Taoist center of the Bodhisattva. After the Tang Dynasty, the Buddhist declaration of Jiuhua Mountain gradually came into being. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more than 150 temples in the whole mountain, including Zhiyuan temple, Dongya temple, baishuigong temple and Ganlu temple.
Next, we first enter the Jiuhua Street scenic area, and the first thing we see is a stone gate square. It is carved out of marble, 9 meters high, and is an imitation of the Hui style architecture of the Qing Dynasty. The banner is engraved with the four characters "Jiuhua Shengjing" written by Emperor Kangxi. There are stone lions carved under the two pillars of the middle gate. The gate is dignified and elegant. After passing the gate, you can see Yingxian bridge. This bridge was built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong. It is a single hole stone arch bridge. Now, please follow me to step on this ancient bridge and enter the fairyland together!
You see, the front of the bridge is the main hall of Zhiyuan temple. Zhiyuan temple is a national key temple. Its scale is the largest in the four jungles of Jiuhua Mountain. It is composed of more than ten single buildings, such as mountain gate, Tianwang hall, Daxiong hall, guest hall, lecture hall and Sutra collection building. It is a typical composite building. Its Mountain Gate deviates from the central axis of the hall. Do you know why? Because, ah, it's very particular to set the Mountain Gate askew. First, it's to ward off evil spirits. Second, it's toward kaishanzu temple and Huacheng temple. The main hall is decorated with glass and green tiles, and the eaves are tilted. It has a very prominent position. There is a stone carving on the front wall of the temple, on which the five big characters of "Tai Shan Shi Gan Dang" are very eye-catching. Let's guess what it is for? In fact, this is unique to Zhiyuan temple, which is used to ward off evil spirits and suppress demons.
Entering the mountain gate is Lingguan hall. When you enter the hall, you can see Wang Lingguan standing in the shrine with red face and red beard, eyes wide open and iron whip high. Wang Lingguan is the Dharma protector of Taoism. How can he protect the Dharma here? It is said that Wei Tuo, the Dharma protector of Buddhism, made the mistake of "killing" and was "dismissed" by the Bodhisattva of Tibet, leaving Wang Lingguan in charge. This reflects the meaning of "cooperation" between Buddhism and Taoism, which is probably the only one in the country.
From Lingguan hall to a small courtyard, there is a pavilion style square double eaves hall, resting on the top of the mountain. There are four statues of heavenly kings inside, which are called heavenly kings hall. In the middle niche sits Maitreya Buddha, who is always smiling and tolerant. "A bowl of rice for thousands of families, traveling thousands of miles alone" is his two verses. On both sides are four statues of the heavenly king.
Lingguan hall and Tianwang hall are on the same platform, and on the platform of a higher level, there is a great hall. In the main hall, on the front, there stands the third Buddha about 12 meters high. Under the seat is the green lotus seat, and under the seat is the Xumi seat (also known as the diamond platform). The carving is exquisite. On the front of the offering table, there is a large relief of the story of "monk Tang's taking scriptures". In front of the statue of the Buddha, the monk who presided over the Dharma Association went to worship the Buddha.
OK, after visiting Zhiyuan temple, we are now at the center of Jiuhua street. What you can see is Huacheng temple, the Kaishan ancestral temple of Jiuhua Mountain. There is a saying in Buddhist Scripture that "refers to the city of the earth". Huacheng temple is located in the southwest of Huacheng peak in Jiuhua Mountain and in the center of Huacheng basin. Huacheng temple has a long history. It was built in the Jin Dynasty, and it is also the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain. The architecture of the temple is arranged according to the mountain situation, reflecting the superb art of architectural design. In the temple, there is an ancient clock which is more than ten feet high and weighs about 2000 Jin. It is exquisitely cast and has a loud voice. It is struck with a mallet. The solemn and clear sound of the bell reverberates in the valley, which often makes people feel extraordinarily refined. "Huacheng evening clock" has become one of the "Jiuhua ten sceneries".
After the rise and fall of the ancient temple, it still stands in the long river of time. There are four existing dwellings, the first three are Qing Dynasty buildings: one is Lingguan hall, the second is Tianwang hall, and the third is Daxiong hall. 2、 Among the three entrances, there is a huge four water patio, which means "four water Guiming hall". The main hall is full of wooden windows 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 is the only Ming Dynasty building in Jiuhua Mountain, which has been restored to its original appearance recently. Huacheng Temple gradually rises according to the terrain, with rigorous structure, simple and elegant, basically preserving the original style of kaishanzu temple.
Under the stone steps of Huacheng temple, there are a pair of stone lions in Song Dynasty, one female and one male, which are ancient and clumsy. There is a release pool in the front, crescent shaped. It is said that it was excavated by jindizang when he led the disciples to build Huacheng temple. It is not only for the fire prevention of the temple, but also for the release of monks and pilgrims. In front of the pool is a flat and open Huacheng square. In the square, there is a "Niangniang tower" base made of stone bars, which is in memory of jindizang's mother. It is said that after learning about zhuoxi Jiuhua, jindizang's mother trekked thousands of miles to find her son back in the mountains. She thought about her son for a long time, and her eyes were going to be blind. Jindizang used spring water from a well beside the square to wash his mother's eyes, and cured her mother's eye disease. Jin dizang attentively waited on his mother and told her about Buddhism. She was enlightened and finally stayed in the mountain to help her son protect the Buddha. 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 monk. Whether mother or wife, the legend of "Niangniang tower" is beautiful.
