It was early spring, Nong Tianyi and Wang Ziwei went to Yufengtai to play, and described its ancient appearance in their hearts.

"Yufengtai" is located in Qinglian Town, the full name is ancient Yufengtai, referred to as Yufengtai. Yufengtai is located at the confluence of the Yinma River and the Fu River in Qinglian Town, because the perennial river water impact carries a large amount of sediment, accumulated over time, it is one of the "six Taiwan and ten scenes" in Nanyi County in ancient times, and its legend is quite rich.

Legend has it that Taoism began to prevail in China during the Yonghe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the government took a fancy to the ancient town of Qinglian, which is known as the "Chuyun Tea Town", and built a small temple for worshipping folk gods on an earthen stone mound in its territory. At that time, there was a dead plane tree with a hollow middle and several layers of skin on the periphery, and a phoenix perched on the tree and laid nine phoenix eggs.

There was a private school near the temple, and several naughty students went up to the tree to collect eggs while the husband was away, intending to boil eggs to satisfy their hunger. Unexpectedly, Mr. returned immediately, and suddenly saw the phoenix flying to his desk, writing the five big words "Save my son" with his mouth. When he finished writing, he let out a wail and flew away.

The gentleman hurriedly stepped forward to stop the students, returned the eggs to their place, and warned them that no one should disturb the auspicious objects on the tree in the future! Since then, the sycamore tree sprouts every year, and the phoenix blooms as soon as it passes through here, and the tree shape also grows into the shape of a phoenix, which is surprising to everyone.

Since then, whenever there is a big flood in the Fujiang River, the land has increased its production and harvest. The more this matter spreads, the more gods go, and the descendants start from the legend of the head of the rising water, and name the earth and stone mound "Yufeng Terrace" to thank the phoenix for its continuous kindness.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, because the Li dynasty claimed to be the founder of Taoism, Li Dan, and respected the Taoism of Lao Tzu, Taoism began to flourish. This platform has also been upgraded to a Taoist temple, expanded from a small temple to two courtyards and two courtyards covering an area of dozens of acres, and the platform body has also been widened and heightened. During the Yuan Dynasty, all the Taoists in the temple joined the Quanzhen sect, which was based on the purpose of "retiring one's life and refining one's heart". Under the influence of the Quanzhen sect, the Taoist temple has been further expanded, and a number of new side halls have been added. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Wang, a native of Qinglian, funded its expansion into three major advances. The Taoist temple covers an area of 22.5 meters wide and 62 meters long, and there is a side hall in each entrance; There are three floors of the building in the back, and the brick presses the ridge, which is quite imposing.

It is said that the wood was transported from Laojunling in Yunwu Mountain, and the glazed tiles were produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, after frequent wars and serious damage to the Taoist temple. Seeing this, Li Yuan, a wealthy local man, co-financed a renovation with others, and then all the wooden components that were damaged by termites were replaced, and the Taoist temple was able to regain its former majesty.

With more than 1,000 years of ups and downs, Yufengtai is like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, and has attracted countless tourists. In the surrounding towns, there is still a saying that only those who have twenty-eight and a half steps can conclude that they have arrived at Yufengtai. So the literati and scholars came one after another, and once wrote the eternal swan song of "Buddha sits on the current situation and does not talk about Yile things, and the moon tower is still praying for the Yufeng Terrace over the years"; Merchants either hike or sail here, and they all have to board the land platform to enjoy the scenery of the Fujiang River. Climb the platform Range Rover, explore the seclusion of the moon tower at night, enter the main hall to worship, and hang the ancient to the Guandi Hall because of this.

The legends of the ancient jade phoenix platform are one after another, but they all have one thing in common: they show the beautiful scenery of the blessed land on earth, and gather in the mysterious realm of heavenly immortals.

And the ancient Yufeng platform in front of you is an earth and stone platform, long from north to south, wide from east to west, with an area of more than ten acres, and three zhang high. There was originally a temple on the earth and stone platform, sitting in the north and facing south, three rows in front and back. The front two rows are tall palace-style bungalows, and the back row is a three-story pavilion, although there are only three floors, but it is taller than an ordinary five-story building. Between the front hall and the apse, the apse and the pavilion, there are wings at both ends to connect, and the entrance is free. The whole building is majestic, magnificent, and unified.

In particular, the three-storey pavilion, which rises on a high platform, looks particularly steep and extraordinary. The high upturned cornices are like stretching long wings, as if taking off with pavilions and palaces near the river. Brass bells hang from the four corners of the cornice, which are often struck by the wind and carried away by the wind. The glazed tiles on the roof, whether sunny or cloudy, are always sunny and covered with gold.

At both ends and in the middle part of the ridge, the round glazed altar is stacked layer upon layer, more than six feet high, like a small pagoda, like a long sword, pointing straight to the clouds, quite a peak of the momentum, magnificent. The second floor is the night moon building, the third floor is the Tongming Palace, the big characters on the two huge horizontal plaques are simple and vigorous, and they are particularly eye-catching. In the hall, in the pavilion, carved beams and painted buildings, antique, hundreds of statues of gods of all sizes, or standing, or sitting, or squatting, or lying, or flying in the air; Some have a lovely smile and a sad brow, some close their eyes and recuperate their eyes, and some have three heads and six arms, and even have three eyes, which are vivid, realistic in shape, and have a thousand square postures.

Around the temple, the ancient trees are towering, the tea trees are green, the flowers and plants are everywhere, and the birds are contending. Nong Tianyi said that it is a quiet place, worthy of being a Taoist pure land for self-cultivation.

Let's look forward to the "Zhutai Night Moon" from history. Nanyi County is one of the ancient battlefields of the Three Kingdoms, according to legend, Zhuge Liang marched to fight, did not forget to read poetry and books, with the ambition of helping the world, he studied hard all night, every night, the candle on the stage was not extinguished for a long time. Because Yufengtai is surrounded by water on all sides, the position is extremely high, from a distance, it gives people the illusion that the moon hangs in the sky, and the local people will take the "Zhutai Night Moon" to commensurate with it, and encourage future generations to be diligent in cultivating and reading. After that, it was recited endlessly.

From time, I realized the legend of feathering into immortals. Duan Chengsheng, the second-generation host of Taoism, was a bandit village on weekdays, and after the accident, he avoided Guyufengtai, and felt that he was guilty of deep sin in his practice, so he practiced hard and finally achieved positive results. After his death, he was buried in the jar, and his relatives found that only the clothes were left in the jar the next day, and the flesh had been transformed into a fairy.

Then marvel at the "Pavilion Elder Manifestation" from the interpretation of the years. Zhu Hetong, a native of Qinglian, studied in Guyufengtai in his early years. In the hot summer, mosquito nets are never hung on the bed; Walking at night is like walking during the day. In order to explore the cause, Mr. Qi reconnoitred for a day and learned that there was a land god standing in front of the bed and shaking a fan, and there was a pair of small red lanterns on his shoulders to take pictures, so he sighed: This is a nobleman!

Sure enough, Zhu He was the same as the post-official to the post of prime minister, and was known as "Zhu Ge Lao". The tombstone of his wife still exists.

Ancient Yufengtai continues to appear magical: "the patio is bubbling with water" and "the water is rising and the platform is high". There was a big flood, and the surrounding area became a vast ocean. The flood went straight to the ancient jade phoenix platform and flooded the dojo, but no matter how high the water rose, it could not submerge the pavilion, but a lot of water came out of the ground in the courtyard courtyard.

Nong Tianyi conducted some exploration, and the ancient Yufeng platform sat north to south, surrounded by water. There is a small suspension bridge in front of the Yufeng Terrace, there are about 30 granite paved steps when you cross the bridge, there are stone lions standing on both sides of the mountain gate at both ends, and there are several stone tombs next to the Taoist temple host. Outside the mountain gate is an open field. The ancient cypress around the courtyard is towering to the sky, covering the clouds and the sun.

Nong Tianyi said to Wang Ziwei that if you look at it from a distance, Yufengtai is like a sacred island emerging from the sea, which makes people think about it.

Wang Ziwei said with a smile, there is the wonder of Penglai Wonderland.
