Chapter 300: Wutai Mountain
In this way, everyone stayed in the room for about an hour, and also discussed some specific lines of action and task assignments, what equipment to carry, some supplies to carry, and the arrangement and division of labor of various specific matters. When they were done, they dispersed, and I returned to my room under Anjoufi's stickiness.
Nothing to say all night......
At six o'clock the next day, according to last night's agreement, everyone got up early in the morning to clean up, out of the inn, only to find that the fog was filled, the humidity in the morning was very heavy, after completing all the entry procedures, because of the stationary vehicles inside, so we had to hike into the mountain.
Walking along the road of the scenic spot, temples slowly appeared, golden glazed tiles, red courtyard walls, Sanskrit sounds, and the smell of incense in the air was fragrant and solemn.
Look up again, "Qixian Temple". Originally, this Qixian Temple is located in the Dashe Village of Wutai Mountain, so it was called the Dashe Temple in ancient times. It is rumored that during the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Qilang killed Pan Renmei's third son Pan Bao in a ring competition, and the Pan family regarded the Yang family as enemies who did not share the sky, and constantly accused the Yang family of "crimes" to the emperor. In the autumn of the second year of house arrest, Liao Bang tore up the peace treaty and invaded the border of the Song Dynasty on a large scale. When the Yang family father and son left the Taisha Temple, the villagers renamed the Taisha Temple as "Qixian Temple" in order to commemorate them.
"Wow, it's so solemn and magnificent," Anjoufei couldn't help but admire. The others also bowed and bowed with their hands folded in front of the temple, and then continued to walk along the road.
"This Wutai Mountain, in the end, which mountain is the highest, let's just go directly." He Yufeng said.
"As far as I know, Wutai Mountain, Wutai Mountain is named after no mountain in the east, west, north, south, and middle, among which Beitai Mountain is the tallest." An Xiangfei responded.
"Then are we going directly to Beitai Mountain now?" I asked puzzled, because I didn't think the current direction was going directly to Beitai Mountain.
"No, I've seen it, this layout in the east, west, south, north and south is the layout of Tibetan Lingnafu, which is the best pattern in the feng shui pattern, so if we want to find the dragon vein feng shui, we must place it in its hinterland, so that we can look around and find a dragon's nest." Makushu paused, turned back to us, and said. The curtain is good to say that Wutai Mountain is indeed the name of the five mountains in the east, west, north, south and north, so it gets the name of Wutai, and these five mountains have their own characteristics, each with its own aura, respectively;
Dongtai famous sea peak, 2795 meters above sea level, on the top of Dongtai, "steaming cloud bathing day, refreshing autumn, looking at the bright glow in the east, like a mirror, that is, the sea," so the name is given. Due to the high altitude and low temperature on the top of the platform, cotton clothes must still be worn in the middle of summer. Zhao Puchu, former president of the Buddhist Association of China, wrote a poem and praised: "On the top of the East Terrace, it is still covered in midsummer. The sky is dressed in xia clothes to welcome the sunrise, the peaks and the sea of clouds float as a boat, and the vitality is full of China. ”
Xitai name hangs on the moon peak, the altitude is 2773 meters, the west platform peak "the top is Guangping, the moon falls to the peak, it is like a hanging mirror, because it is named. There is a poem that praises: "Xiling is majestic and far away, looking back at the hometown and white clouds." The lonely peak ridge is green and even three jin, and the eight waters flow in all directions. On a sunny day, the wild flowers are spread with Shu brocade, and the autumn wind fairy laurel falls into the sky. In those years, the lion was ruin, and the rock valley often floated with five-colored light. ”
Nantai name splendid peak, 2485 meters above sea level, this peak "if the top is overturned, round Monday, the mountain peak is steep, the smoke is condensed and green, the fine grass and flowers, thousands of mountains are spread, still spread brocade, so it is famous. The famous poet Yuan Hao asked Fu poems and praised: "Shen Shen Long's Cave stores clouds and smoke, and the rain and dew of thousands of grasses and flowers are biased." Buddha Tuxiu compares the human environment, who gets the golden lotus with his steps? ”
The name of the north platform is Ye Doufeng, the altitude is 3061 meters, the highest of the five Taiwans, it is called the "roof of North China", its platform "the top is flat and wide, the circle is four miles, the bottom looks up, the top is the bucket ladle, so it is named. Emperor Kangxi wrote a poem and said: "The mountains are steep, and the cold is forcing the palace." Outside the bell, people are talking in the sky. The snow is still accumulating, and the spring ice is warm and has not melted. Looking at the land and sea from nothing, this place is Fangpeng. ”
Zhongtai Cuiyan Peak, 2894 meters above sea level, its platform "top Guangping, round Friday, the peak is majestic, the green mist floats in the air, because it is named. There is a poem that praises: "The peaks are full of wonders, and the rain and smoke accumulate green mountains." The staff is tireless, and the cloak is still cold in June. The cliffs and green mountains are surrounded by each other, and the ancient trees and yellow sand are wide in all directions. The clouds gradually looked halfway up the mountain, but he suspected that he was already in the clouds. ”
Therefore, it created the immortal name of Wutai Mountain, and later Buddhism found this treasure before settling down in the temple, and achieved the Buddhist holy land.
Many of these temples have long been famous all over the world, and the blessings they bring are also sprinkled all over the world, so since ancient times, incense has flourished, and believers have been in an endless stream every year.
However, the temples of Wutai Mountain are different from other places in that the large and small temples here are divided into Qing Temple and Yellow Temple, Qing Temple is a monk temple, most of which are mainly Han people, wearing gray and blue monk robes. The Yellow Temple refers to the Lama Temple, which is dominated by Tibetan lamas and dressed in yellow lama clothes. The integration of the two religious cultures for thousands of years and the fact that they can live together peacefully is also one of the reasons why the reputation of Mount Wutai has spread far and wide. Among them, the most representative temples are the peak of incense, the Sanskrit sound reverberates all day long, and the religious culture is quite strong.
For ordinary people and ordinary believers, one of the most famous temples is the Wuye Temple. The main reason is that the Wuye Temple of Wutai Mountain also has a legend about the fifth master of the dragon, the fifth son of the legendary dragon king. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas don't watch plays, but the five masters like it, so there is the only stage in Wutai Mountain, which is specially built for the five masters. The incense of Wutai Mountain Wuye Temple is the most prosperous, and the people who come to worship on the first and fifteenth day of the new year are continuous, and it is said that the Wuye Temple makes a wish very spiritually. Long Wuye is the god of wealth enshrined in the north and south of the 33 Guanyin Hall of Nanshan Temple, so many people who come to Wutai Mountain Wuye Temple are seeking wealth, but beware of being deceived.
As we gradually walked towards Zhongtai Mountain, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally we could only see a few monks passing by. Because Zhongtai Mountain is a big mountain, most of the believers who come here go to the temple to worship the Buddha, so at this time, the more you go to the depths of the scenic spot, the less and less people are crowded. So much so that when I walked to the back, there was no road, and at the end of the highway there was a sign that said, "Tourists stop, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous"
The few of us were tired after walking for so long, so we sat down on the ground and rested for a while at the positive suggestion of Anjoufei.
