Tang Lingling and Ying Ying walked into Changchun Cave, the largest Taoist temple in the back mountain of Weibao Mountain, ——— Changchun Zhenren led the Quanguan disciples out to greet the eldest young master of the Tang Mansion in Dingbian and his friends.

Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Changchun real people presented rice and fruits, Tang Lingling and Ying Ying were not restrained, patiently tasting Wei Baoshan's famous snacks.

After drinking and eating, Changchun Zhenren led the two to visit Changchun Cave.

Tang Lingling and Ying Ying were once again shocked by the architectural art of Changchun Cave: its exquisite architectural art is "superb"

The art of layout can be called a "must"

; The appearance layout of Changchun Cave is very unique, covers an area of less than two acres but has nine floors and ten courtyards, is a regular Taoist gossip map, composed of the front hall, the main hall, the wing room, the garden, the hidden head, etc., its conception is rigorous, the structure is exquisite, and deeply embodies the beautiful harmony of Taoist thought.

The second is the art of carving, which can be called "two uniques"

; In the center of the dust-bearing lattice plate of the Changchun Cave Hall, there is a delicate hollow wooden dragon, which can be called the essence of the hollow wood carving of the whole mountain of Weibao Mountain.

This hollow floating wood carving is in an octagonal bath well with a side length of about 35 centimeters, and the inner wall of the bath well is also painted with a gossip map, and a purple wood carving dragon is coiled in the middle, with a realistic expression, and it is about to come out.

The main hall has eight wooden carved lattice doors, and the middle and upper parts of each door are carved with "Eight Immortals"

One of the immortals crossing the sea, from right to left, is: He Xiangu who holds a lotus flower and steps on a toad to cross the sea leisurely; Uncle Cao Guo who crossed the sea with a Yunyang board in his hand and a dragon body on his feet; Tie Guan Li with a gourd on his back, an iron rod in his hand, and a crab on his feet; Zhang Guolao, who rode a donkey across the sea; Han Xiangzi, who blows holes in his mouth and crosses the sea with loaches on his feet; Lu Dongbin, who carried a sword, held a mosquito broom, and stepped on a lobster to cross the sea; Han Zhongli, who carried a gourd on his waist, held a goose feather fan, and stepped on a carp to cross the sea; Hand flower basket, foot turtle across the sea blue and.

The lower part of the lattice door is the eight states of the unicorn, and the middle part is the four-hour flower.

The upper skirt in the middle is a Qiankun window, and the surrounding area is full of bats, implying that the universe is full of blessings; On the left and right sides are the Jade Rabbit Licking Medicine and the Golden Rooster Holding Xiao; The surroundings of the circle are radiant, implying that the sun and the moon shine together.

The left and right sides of the lower skirt are double phoenixes flying towards the middle fireball, which is called the double phoenix Chaoyang.

On the skirt board of the main hall less than one meter from the ground, there are horizontal carvings of the crane Hanchun, the unicorn hitting the bell, the blessing descending to the world, the fish jumping over the dragon gate, the wooden fish spitting the beads, the golden turtle Tuoshan, etc., all of which have their own symbolic meanings.

In addition, only the carved wooden windows of the north wing of Changchun Cave have 138 kinds of patterns, such as cross begonias, tic-tac-toe inlaid edges and corners, Ruyi prism style, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, four treasures of the study, flowers, birds, beasts, melons and fruits, vegetables, etc.

Tang Lingling has walked through many places, and it is useless to see such an unprecedented carving art, which is really a "feast for the eyes"

Ah, even Ying Ying also sighed heartily.

Again, it is the art of color painting, which can be called the "three uniques"

There are 50 colorful murals painted on the dust-bearing lattice of the Changchun Cave Palace, each lattice is about 100 cm long and 80 cm wide, and the viewer needs to look up to see the murals.

Of the 50 murals, 46 are depicting the feast of the four Taoist emperors and the immortals, and the other 3 on the right are the "Three Emperors"

, 1 is "Kowloon Picture"

The composition of this group of murals is steady and generous, and the lines are smooth and free.

It is not only full of mystery, but also quite a bit of the charm of Dunhuang murals.

There are six windows on the left and right sides of the lattice door of the main hall, each one is 103 centimeters high, 43 centimeters wide, on the window wall of each window, there are two filial piety pictures painted up and down, called "twenty-four filial piety pictures"

, from the top right to the bottom left are: black tree for relatives, polyester for drowning device, spotted clothes play color, Ding Lan carved wood, Huang Xiang fanning pillow, fighting tigers to save relatives, lying on ice for fish, Meng Zong crying bamboo, taste dung worry, Yongquan leaping carp, mosquitoes full of blood, Wen Lei weeping tomb, Dashun ploughing the field, King Wen tasted medicine, Zeng Zi raised relatives, Min donated single clothes, Dong Yong sold his body to bury his father, Zi Lu negative rice, deer milk relatives, maids for mothers, Lu Jihuai orange, nursing aunt is not slack, burying children to give gold, abandoning officials to find relatives.

This group of murals is mainly line-based, with fresh and elegant colors and vivid images.

Princess Sakura missed her father more and more after seeing it, her eyes were full of tears, Tang Lingling hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and comforted her with kind words, saying: "Even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, the day of reunion between father and daughter will eventually come, don't hurt your body." ”

On the side gable of the south wing, there is also a painting of "a hundred birds and a phoenix"

The painting is 10 meters high, 6 meters wide, in the middle is a plane tree with lush leaves, and the main trunk is painted with a phoenix with plump feathers and full of energy, surrounded by thrushes, starlings, green doves, parrots, herons, magpies, pheasants and other hundreds of precious birds, which means that Weibaoshan has been a paradise for birds since ancient times.

Ying Ying's "Hundred Birds and Phoenix"

The picture is full of feelings, as if there is something in her life that dominates her, but she can't tell.

It is as if he was born as a lost bird, unable to find a mountain forest ...... to rely on.

The superb and exquisite architectural art of Changchun Cave in Weibao Mountain is indescribable, which makes Tang Lingling and Ying Ying want to see it again after seeing it, so the two of them enter from another side room again.

The side room was low enough for two to enter, and out of the back door was a small vegetable patch, and next to it was a small well with crystal clear water, and the water flowed down a tree hole.

On the side of the tree hole, a cave was built, the entrance of which was covered with wall tiles.

Tang Lingling and Princess Sakura were very curious, so they drilled into the cave.

The cave is lit by oil lamps, which are not very bright, but not dark at all.

After a twist and turn, I came to a spacious hall and saw two crane-haired and bearded old Taoists playing chess in fascination.

The chessboard is carved with a stone table, and the chess pieces are also made of stone.

The chessboard is very large, tens of meters square.

Each chess piece has more than 100 catties, and it is difficult for ordinary people to even move a step.

I saw that the slender and tall Taoist had enough internal force, and his palm fell to a "car"

, the right hand is raised high, but the brow is furrowed, as if the chess path is not compatible.

Never put down the "car"

Road.

The short and fat Taoist said: "Wei Zhenzi, your car is not smooth, I will see how you go!" ”

But seeing that Wei Zhenzi's face did not change color and his heart did not beat, he simply put the "car" at will.

One horizontal, blocking the opponent's "horse"

The way to go.

Then he nodded slightly and said with a smile: "He Changzi, please go!" ”

He Changzi, the head of the short and fat road, exclaimed: "It's really a good chess, but the road is blocked, so you can only take a detour." ”

So he also lifted it with one palm, "horse"

Jumping up, then landing firmly on the oblique daily line.

Good palm power!

Wei Zhenzi pushed out with one palm, and the cannon crossed his pawn line and hit He Changzi's pawn, the sound shook the sky, and stone flowers splashed everywhere.

He Changzi did not show weakness, the car got up and fell, and the other party's pawn was not guaranteed.

The two were fascinated by the game of chess, unaware that others were watching the chess around them.

It was only when Tang Lingling saw the subtlety and shouted: "Wonderful move, it's really wonderful, good chess!" ”

The two of them came back to their senses and glanced at Tang Lingling and Princess Sakura.

Wei Zhenzi said: "Little brother also knows chess games? ”

Tang Lingling hurriedly replied: "I'm really sorry for the two seniors, the juniors Dingbian Tang Lingling and Sakura Princess Ying Ying inadvertently ruined the chess game of the two, I'm very sorry." I couldn't help but applaud when I saw the wonderful things just now, which was really unintentional! Please don't forgive me. ”

He Changzi, the head of the Humpty and Dumpty Dao, said: "It's okay, I have played chess with my senior brother Wei Zhenzi for decades, and we haven't decided the winner. Today, Tang Gongzi has no intention of coming in, and it can be regarded as fate. We often hear the master of Changchun Cave mention Tang Furong and Brother Gongzi of Dingbian Tang Mansion, and we are very honored to have you here. ”

Wei Zhenzi also nodded and said: "Dingbian Tang Mansion is righteous and thin, and Tang Gongzi is even more knowledgeable, when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, and I still need to ask for advice and guidance." ”

Tang Lingling said: "The two Taoist masters are strong in martial arts and superb in chess, and they want to learn from the two Taoist masters, and they also ask the two Taoist masters to give them advice." ”

Both of them smiled slightly, and it seemed that there would be chess to play again in the future, which was really enjoyable.
