The next morning, they got up and continued to ride their horses around Luzhou City. They first came to the Bacha Mountain.
Ouyang Xiu's "The Story of Fucha Mountains and Rivers" made Fucha Mountain famous far and wide, and it became a place where scholars often visited. The full text of "Fucha Mountain and Water Record" is more than 700 words, which was written by Ouyang Xiu during his term of office in the capital for Li Duan, the queen of Luzhou Zhendong Army, to present the spring water of Fucha Mountain. Ouyang Xiu and Li Duanyuan were both experts in spring water.
Once, Li Duanyuan climbed Fucha Mountain and saw that there was a stone pool and milk spring on the mountain. After drinking it, he felt extremely sweet and cold. He felt that the water quality of the stone pool and milk spring here was first-class, so he specially canned some and sent it from Luzhou Prefecture to Ouyang Xiu, who was far away in the capital. After Ouyang Xiu tasted it, he praised it and wrote back to Li Duanyuan,""The water I sent you is especially delicious. However, how can it reduce the grade of Huishan Mountain? Living in the capital for a long time, it is rare to see beautiful mountains and rivers. Eating here is like drinking sweet wine. It's hard to get too many favors from far away, so I can't be satisfied!”
Ouyang Xiu compared Fucha Spring with Huishan Spring in Wuxi, believing that it was difficult to distinguish between the two, and that it was difficult to get there because of the long road, so he regretted not drinking too much.
Not only did Ouyang Xiu have a high evaluation of Fucha Mountain and Fucha Mountain Spring, but many scholars from the Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Shi Yongxun of the Song Dynasty, loved to use Fucha Mountain as a topic to write poems and paint. Its rich cultural landscape was rare in famous mountains at home and abroad.
Qiaoshi
There were more than 30 Qiaoshi in Fucha Mountain, all named after their images. Each Qiaoshi was a scenic spot.
Damiao
Fucha Mountain was also known as Beijiuhua. During the heyday of Buddhism, there were more than ten temples. Ganlu Temple and Fucha Temple were the most famous. The Ganlu Temple was also known as the Great Mountain Temple. It was located on the main peak of Fucha Mountain, beside the Hechao Spring. The main hall had two entrances, one courtyard, and two chambers. The seven temples on the surrounding mountains and mountain streams belonged to the lower house of the Ganlu Temple.
Then, they arrived at the Four Peaks Mountain.
Siding Mountain is located in the south of Luzhou and on the north bank of Chaohu Lake. Because there are four peaks in the mountain, it is named. It was also said that the ancient immortal Wei Boyang cast a cauldron here to refine pills, so it was also called the Four Cauldron Mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, someone built a temple here, and later, he built the Chaoxi Academy here, but it was destroyed. Four Peak Mountain had the landscape of "Four Peak Morning Glow". There were caves, strange rocks, and morning glow on the mountain.
There were caves and strange stones on the mountain, as well as an "Alchemy Pool". The pool is on the west peak. It is about sixty feet long from north to south, fifty feet wide from east to west and more than three feet deep. The mountain spring is inexhaustible all year round and crystal clear. The Immortal Cave was three feet long, five feet wide, and six feet high. It could accommodate several people. The Boyang Well, also known as the Shu Well, was also on the West Peak. It was bottomless and the water was clear and sweet.
There were also natural landscapes such as the Parrot Watching the Sky Stone, the Old Clam Holding the Pearl Stone, the Chessboard Stone, the Imperial Censor's Seat Stone, the Fishing Platform Stone, and the Heavenly General Gatekeeping Stone.
The beauty of Siding Mountain is the most beautiful in the morning glow. Legend has it that Wei Boyang of the Eastern Han Dynasty once refined elixirs here. The cinnabar and immortal powder left behind at the foot of the mountain reflected the morning glow and radiated extraordinary splendor. The four peaks were listed as one of the Eight Sceneries of Luyang and Chaohu. On the Four Peak Mountain, there were places of interest such as the Alchemy Pool, the Morning Dawn Temple, the Morning Dawn Academy, and the Dripping Well. There are frog stone, parrot stone, fishing platform, all hall stone and other strange stone scenery.
The four scenic spots had always been admired by literati. Luo Yin, Li Tianfu, and others had left behind poems of praise. There are many mountains and poems on the four peaks.
At dawn, the sun rose from the east. Climbing the mountain and overlooking it, it seemed to surge with five-colored glaze, so it was also called Chaoxi Mountain. It was one of the eight scenic spots of Luzhou in ancient times. The trees on the mountain were lush, and there were many strange rocks. The tip of the rock dripped all year round, commonly known as the teapot spout. Climbing the mountain and overlooking, you can see the sails of Chaohu Lake and the beautiful scenery of Laoshan Zhongmiao.
Luo Yin, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem about his victory in "Four Top Mountains":"The scenery is naturally different, and the spirit enters the painting. A mountain is divided into four peaks, overlooking the lake on three sides. After summer, the monk will not feel hot, and the grass will not wither in winter. When visitors come here, they are willing to give up their hair and beard.”
What was especially amazing and inconceivable was that there was an ancient well in the high mountain called "Dripping Reed Well", which was more than 10 meters deep between the long corridor between the temple and the garden. When the moon was high in the sky at night, one could see colorful auspicious clouds and wonderful moonlight from the bottom of the well. This was the scenery in the mountains--
On the mountainside in the north, there was a breathtaking spectacle: A huge, pagoda-shaped sharp stone pierced through the sky. It was about seven to eight meters tall, and there was a stone plate embedded at the top. There was a stone line that was three to four meters long hanging down, as if an immortal was sitting there quietly fishing.
On the south side of the mountain, where the sun was rising, there were two huge rocks shaped like a pair of parrots. They were called "Parrot Stones". Whenever the sun shone, standing in the middle temple three miles away or further away from the old mountain, looking north, they saw that the Parrot Stones were like a pair of birds hugging each other and whispering.
At the foot of the West Mountain beside Chaohu Lake, there was a lone rock that looked like a frog perched on the shore. It looked up at the sky and was called "Frog Rock". The Four Mirrors of Victory not only attracted a large number of ancient and modern tourists, but also left behind a long list of popular poems.
The poet Luo Yin of the late Tang Dynasty once said,"A mountain is divided into four peaks, overlooking the lake on three sides." After summer, the monk will not feel hot, and the grass will not wither in winter. When visitors come here, they are willing to give up their hair and beard.”
Zhang Yanxiu, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, also praised the Four Peak Mountain in his poem: "The green peaks are towering over the calm lake, and the evening green is not as good as the red painting. Send a message to Shangshan virtuous four Hao, good to each have a peak residence.”
Then, they arrived at the hot spring.
Bantang Hot Spring was located at the foot of Mount Tang in the northeast of Lake Chaohu in Luzhou City. Its unique and magical hot spring charm attracted guests from all over the world.
Half hot spring, according to "Sui Shu·Geography Annals" records: Xiangan County has Banyang Mountain, which has hot water. There are two hot springs with large flow, less than two miles apart. One is a cold spring and the other is a hot spring. The confluence of the two springs is half hot and half cold.
Half hot spring, people marveled at the wonder of this spring, so they called it "half hot spring".
He left the hot spring and came to the teaching platform.
The teaching crossbow platform was also known as the general platform and Cao Gong teaching crossbow platform. It was located on the north side of the eastern section of Huaihe Road, Hefei City, Anhui Province. It was said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao built this high platform to train strong crossbowmen, hence its name.
According to historical records, during the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, the ruler of the Wei Dynasty, arrived in Hefei four times. He commanded and built this high platform to train strong crossbows to resist the navy of the Eastern Wu. The platform was steep and the edge was made of bricks. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao "taught strong crossbows to resist the navy of the Wu Dynasty", so it was called "Teaching Crossbow Platform".
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang, an iron Buddha temple was built on the platform. During the Dali period of Tang Dynasty, it was rebuilt and expanded, and was named Ming Jiao Yuan. It was made up of three parts: the Buddha Hall, the Sutra Library, and the West Chamber Garden. The hall is divided into the main hall and the back hall, with more than 30 Buddha statues.
The eaves of the Mahavira Hall were upturned, and the wind chimes were ringing. A huge tin gourd towered over the roof of the hall, shining with silver light and piercing straight into the sky, showing the majestic and solemn architectural features of the Buddhist temple. Bells and drums rang in unison in the temple, and Buddhist chants filled the air. It was filled with magical religious colors.
The original name of Mingjiao Temple was "Iron Buddha Temple". It was built during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty and soon abandoned. During the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty, a Buddha statue of 18 feet high iron was dug out from the ruins. Pei Juan, the governor of Luzhou, reported to the court. Emperor Daizong, Li Yu, ordered the reconstruction of the temple and named it "Ming Jiao Yuan".
It was said that on the "Ancient Teaching Crossbow Platform", the pine trees were shady and the sound of pine trees was loud. The monks built a pavilion and named it "Tingsong". Therefore, it was known as "Teaching Crossbow Pine Shade" and was known as one of the eight scenic spots in Luyang.
There is a couplet written on the pavilion: "Teach the crossbow to stand on the high platform, not for the disaster of Yan Liu, listen to the distant guests who come from the pine tree, who knows the truth from the ancient Buddha." The " well on the roof " was named after the well head was higher than the roof of the house under the " teaching crossbow platform ". The stone well railing at the well head was engraved with twelve words in official script," Made by Sima Xiahou Sheng in the Hall of the Fourth Year of Taishi ", which was the relic of that year. Twenty-three deep trenches made of water rope were left at the mouth of the well, which could be regarded as a witness to history.
Wu Zi, a poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote in a poem,"Cao Gong's crossbow platform is now a monastery." At the river bridge at the east gate, the cavalry of the king of Wu once flew.”He revealed the historical relationship between the "Teaching Crossbow Platform" and the "Mingjiao Temple".
Then, they arrived at the Wu Wang Temple.
The Temple of King Wu was located on the east side of Wushan Town near Luzhou City. It was named after the burial of Yang Xingmi, the leader of the peasant uprising army at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the temple built by later generations to worship him.
Yang Xingmi is Hefei people, the word source. When he was young, he glared at the corruption of the imperial court and pitied the people. In his twenties, he rose up and fought to the death. Because of his magnanimity, benevolence, elegance and honesty, he was good at winning people's hearts. He galloped freely and won many battles. After the establishment of the Wu Kingdom, it implemented a series of policies to give preferential treatment to the people, so it was deeply supported and respected by the four sides.
For thousands of years, the Wushan Temple had been through many wars and had experienced ups and downs. The existing temples had brick walls, tiled houses, carved beams, painted pillars, statues, and inscriptions. They were solemn and solemn. People who went to the temple to offer incense came one after another, year after year. On the side of the temple are the tombs of the King of Wu, his son Yang Bo and Baihua Gongzhu. There is no carving or decoration, which shows that the King of Wu was poor and indifferent when he was alive. Later, due to the Wushan Uprising, a memorial hall and monument were built here.
According to the records of the New History of the Five Dynasties and Zi Zhi Tong Jian, although Yang Xingmi was tall and strong, he was not good at archery and martial arts. The reason why he could command the three armies and pacify the Jianghuai area was not only because of his superb military commanding ability and far-sighted political vision, but also because he was generous, benevolent, elegant and trustworthy, and was good at pacifying the soldiers. He was generous, simple, intelligent, good at pacifying the soldiers, sharing happiness and hardship, treating things with sincerity, recruiting the scattered, and reducing taxes. These were the important reasons for the success of the army and the people.
The folk legends of Wushan Town gave the King of Wu more local flavor and neighborhood feelings. Yang Xingmi never forgot Hefei and missed his hometown. The birthday banquet could not be separated from the white goose in his hometown. To reward meritorious soldiers, we need to use the wine of our hometown. Therefore, the big white goose with clean fur and tender meat in Wushan Town of Changfeng County was called "tribute goose" by the world, and today's "tribute to the king of Wu wine" was also developed by excavating and sorting out the wine formula of tribute to the king of Wu.
Finally, the three of them arrived at Longquan Temple.
Longquan Temple was located at the waist of Longquan Mountain, above Longquan. The temple is famous because of the spring, and the mountain is famous because of the temple. Ancient pine trees and gingko trees that were more than a hundred years old could be seen everywhere on the mountain. The green trees and the sweet spring water flowing out of the temple made people turn over a new leaf and devote their hearts to Buddhism. According to the records of the existing temple, Longquan Ancient Temple was said to have been built during the Cao Wei period. Longquan Temple was famous in the Tang Dynasty when Buddhism was highly respected.
"Ancient and Modern Book Collection·Luzhou Mountains and Rivers" records: In the temple on the mountainside, there is a "Longquan Mountain", which is clear and flows down the mountain, so it is called Longquan Mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Youxin wrote a book called " The Story of Boiling Tea ", which praised this spring as " the first water in Luzhou ". The water of Longquan that gurgled out from the " dragon's mouth " in Longquan Temple flowed continuously all year round, nourishing the farmlands and villagers within a radius of dozens of miles.
Ouyang Xiu, a writer of the Song Dynasty, came to Longquan Mountain when he was the prefect of Chuzhou in the fifth year of the Qing calendar. After tasting the sweet spring, he immediately listed Longquan as the thirteenth spring in the world and erected a monument to record it.
After visiting Longquan Temple, it was already late. The three of them rode back to the inn.
