Welcome to Fenghuangshan scenic area! I'm your guide. My name is X. you cancall me Xiao X. In order to make it convenient for you to visit, let me firstintroduce Fenghuangshan scenic area.
Fenghuang mountain is located 60 kilometers northwest of Dandong City. Inancient times, it was "the first famous mountain in Eastern Liaoning". Duringthe reign of Daoguang and Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1821-1860), Fenghuangmountain, together with Yiwulu Mountain, Qianshan Mountain and Yaoshan mountain,was known as the four famous mountains in Fengtian province (now LiaoningProvince). Now it is known as "the famous mountain of the country" and "thefirst famous mountain of the Great Wall", with an area of 216.875 squarekilometers. Now the road we take is Shendan Road, that is, the road from Dandongto Shenyang. Shendan highway is about 280 kilometers long, and Fenghuangmountain is just next to Shendan highway. It is 60 kilometers from Dandong toFenghuang mountain, and 220 kilometers from Fenghuang mountain to Shenyang.
It takes about an hour to get to Fenghuang mountain from the entrance ofShendan highway. I'd like to use this time to tell you something about Fenghuangmountain. We say that Fenghuang mountain is "the first famous mountain of theGreat Wall". To connect Fenghuang mountain with the Great Wall is not to boastFenghuang Mountain in the name of the Great Wall. Fenghuang mountain is indeedthe first beautiful mountain at the starting point of the east end of the GreatWall. Experts on the Great Wall have already proved that the starting point ofthe east end of the Great Wall is not Shanhaiguan, but Hushan in Dandong. Thenyou may ask, since the starting point of the Great Wall is Hushan, Hushan shouldbe "the first mountain of the Great Wall". And Hushan focuses on the Great Wall.I think you will agree with me.
Fenghuang mountain once had several names in history. As early as in thenorthern and Southern Dynasties, there was a "Wugu city" built here, and themountain was called "Wugu mountain". In the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties,when the "Bear Mountain City" was built, the mountain was changed to "BearMountain". Now we call Fenghuang mountain not because it looks like a Phoenix,but according to a legend: it is said that during the reign of emperor Zhenguanof Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty came to visit. ThePhoenix on the mountain danced, stood on the "ancestor worship stone" and noddedto Taizong of Tang Dynasty. Taizong of Tang Dynasty was very happy andimmediately gave this mountain the name of "Fenghuang Mountain". We all knowthat the emperor is a "golden mouthed jade tooth". Since then, more than 1300years have passed. It has been called Fenghuang mountain. The hole whereFenghuang flies out is called Fenghuang cave.
Fenghuang mountain is located in the remaining vein of Changbai Mountain,covering an area of more than 120 square kilometers. The highest peak is Zanyunpeak, with an altitude of 836.4. Fenghuang mountain is divided into Xishan,Dongshan, Miaogou, Gucheng, Yulong lake and other scenic spots. It is often saidthat Fenghuang Mountain has the characteristics of Taishan, Huashan, Huangshanand Emei. Among them, "laoniubei", "tiantianjue", "arrow eye" and other wondersare rare in the world; "Phoenix cave", "three churches", "Yipin cave" and otherancient caves are deep; "shanyunpuhai", "Tianchi in sight" and other tenlandscapes are changeable; "crane shadow on the stone wall", "Shenniang Wangfu"and other strange rocks are lifelike; "La tussah LIANLI", "Shenniang tussah" andother ancient trees are swaying; "Danquan", "Fengdong" and other springs areinexhaustible in the four seasons; "Magnolia", "Yuling", "azalea" and otherprecious flowers are fragrant in the four seasons; "Ziyang Temple", "DoumuTemple", "Guanyin Pavilion" and other ancient temples are solemn and simple;"Kublai tower", "liberation memorial tower", "ancient city base" and otherhistorical sites still exist; Seven peaks, such as "Jiangjun peak", "Shenmapeak" and "Jianyan peak", soar up to the sky; more than 40 cliff inscriptions,such as "high mountains and long waters" and "eternal Zhongtian", are quitepowerful. In this way, Fenghuang Mountain has become a natural and artificialbeauty, interwoven into a beautiful, harmonious and spectacular Chineselandscape painting. In spring, the mountain is verdant and the azalea is red. Insummer, you can enjoy the sea of clouds and listen to the sound of waterfalls.In autumn, the wind is beautiful. In winter, the snow and ice cover the pines.This poem is a true portrayal of Fenghuang mountain.
Because of the time constraint, we can't visit every scenic spot ofFenghuang mountain today. I'd like to visit several representative scenic spotsof Xishan Mountain with you, so that we can have a glimpse and see the wholepicture. Now we stop here. Please get ready for climbing.
What we see in front of us is Ziyang temple. In the book, the origin of thename of Ziyang temple is explained as follows: "when you get up in the morning,you are exposed to the light of the sun. In the early days, the light of Xiyangwas purple. It was said that Ziqi came from the East. Taoism called XiyangZiyang and said that Ziyang was auspicious, so the Taoist concept was named"Ziyang". Today, we also come to Ziyang Temple early. It's a good opportunityfor us to "come from the East". It seems that this will bring us good luck andgood luck.
Ziyang temple is hosted by Fenghuang mountain, also known as Sanguan hall.It was first built in the early years of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty, formerly knownas "Daning Temple". Later, it was also known as "Xiaoyao Temple". At first,monks lived in the temple. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to constantwars and chaos, there was only one old monk in Yongzheng period. After the oldmonk died, the temple belonged to Taoism. In the early years of Qianlong, TaoistLi Yongyi changed the temple to build a temple, and then called "Ziyang Temple".The Taoist temple was rebuilt in the 13th year, which was composed of Sanguanhall, dongxipeidian hall, bell and Drum Tower.
Now let's go into the Sanguan hall and have a look. In the hall of threeofficials, there are statues of heaven, earth and water. In the middle is TianGuan Yao, who can bless; on the right is di min Shun, who can forgive sins; onthe left is Shui Guan Yu, who can punish evils. If devout people worship infront of the three official statues, they will get rid of their sins and enjoythe blessings of heaven.
On the left side of the statue is the group sculpture of "yaochi jinnv"(legend), and on the right side is the group sculpture of "Eight Immortalscrossing the sea" (legend). On the east side of the main hall is the "Dharmaprotector Lingguan", warning the world that everyone is equal before the law,and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. On the westside is the "Dharma protector land". The pictures painted on the walls are "Maguxianshou", "Dayu Zhishui", "emperor zhanchiyou" respectively“ Shennong taste ahundred herbs "(legend), these legends can take you to the distant ancienttimes, lift your continuous nostalgia. As the partners of Ziyang temple, thelegends of the four ancient pines outside the temple have been guarding Ziyangtemple for half a century. The ancient pines and the ancient temples reflecteach other, making Ziyang Temple more solemn and simple.
The Liberation Monument was built in 1947 to commemorate the liberation ofNortheast China. Climbing from the tower to the mountain, there are "one hundredsingle eight pairs" of stone steps. The road to the top is divided into twopaths. Along the road to the right, we come to the "three churches". The door ofthe "three churches" is made up of two big stones, and the top of the church isa whole stone slab which is stuck on the two walls. Now let's go to see what isextraordinary about these three immortals and saints? What is the light ofwisdom of Chinese philosophers shining on the foreheads of Laozi and Confucius?We can see that the main hall in the hall is paved with stone steps, whichgradually go up. When the steps are put up, there is a huge stone standing ontop of the statue of "Three Religions". It turns out that Buddhism and Taoismcan't be believed at the same time, but "three religions have the same origin"has its historical reasons. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong ofthe Song Dynasty worshipped Taoists and called himself "the Lord of Taoism, theemperor of Taoism".
Although the emperors of Yuan Dynasty believed in both Buddhism and Taoism,the mixture of Buddhism and Taoism began to decline in the early Ming Dynasty.After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, because of the emperor's advocacy, thepreaching of alchemists and monks, and the participation of Buddhists,Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism became a huge, complex and chaotic polytheism.It can be seen that the "three churches" were built after the end of theNorthern Song Dynasty. There are two holes on the left and right in the threechurch cave. To the left is the "tongxuan cave". After drilling through the"tongxuan cave" and passing through the "Tongtian Biequ", after getting out ofthe cave, climbing the hanging wall is the "Guanyin Pavilion".
At the top of this huge stone, there was a chair like depression that couldonly accommodate one person, which is the Guanyin seat. Why does Guanyin sithere? Because there are many deities and Buddhas living in its cave, and thereare many different sects, it is inconvenient for her to practice the skillsthere, so she changed the place of meditation to here. Over time, the rock wasset in a pit. Guanyin Bodhisattva often teaches magic, preaches scriptures andpreaches to the flute here. The believers feel very uneasy. In order to begrateful and praise virtue and show the sincerity of respecting the teacher, atemple has been built on the rock on the right, which is now the GuanyinPavilion. From then on, faithful men and women went back and forth likeshuttles, worshiping and offering incense.
Guanyin pavilion was built in the reign of emperor Shenzong of MingDynasty. It is divided into two layers, one for Guanyin and the other forWeituo. "Guanyin" is the name of a Buddhist Bodhisattva. According to theBuddhist "Dharma Sutra · Pu men pin", if all the dead people recite their name,that is "Guanyin", the Bodhisattva immediately observes their voice and goes torescue and extricate themselves. According to this statement, "Guanyin" isparaphrased. Later, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, taboo the word"Shi", so he had to omit "Shi" and change it to "Guanyin". It is said thatGuanyin was originally male and female. Guanyin began in the northern andSouthern Dynasties, and there are many legends about Bodhisattvas with thousandsof hands and thousands of eyes and giving away children and wealth. As for the"pure water bottle" and the "willow branch" in Guanyin's hand, they wereoriginally the meaning of universal Buddhism and a symbolic "prop".
Later, it became a magic weapon to control the weather in the world, apanacea to treat all kinds of diseases. Wei Tuo is a Buddhist God. His surnameis Wei and his name is Hun. He is one of the Eight Generals of the southernChangtian king, ranking first among the 32 generals of the four heavenly kings.Now we come to Phoenix cave. There is a doggerel when visiting FenghuangMountain: "come to Fenghuang mountain, explore Fenghuang cave, climb arrow eyepeak, and enjoy endless scenery.". When it comes to Fenghuang mountain, you haveto experience the interesting Fenghuang cave and climb the famous "arrow eyepeak".
It seems that climbing arrow eye peak is too difficult. As the saying goes,"the mountain is not high, there are Fairy Spirit.". We have worshipped manyimmortals. It can be said that the aura of Fenghuang Mountain has beenappreciated. Now we go into Fenghuang cave to find out. I don't think we haveany regrets. It is said that Phoenix cave is the habitat of Phoenix, whichcontains phoenix eggs. When Emperor Taizong visited Fenghuang mountain,Fenghuang flew out of the cave to worship his ancestors. Phoenix cave is about200 meters long. After entering the cave, the sky is bright, and the darker yougo, you need to hold a candle. OK, now we have the lighting tools ready. Let'sexperience the Phoenix cave. The temple between Guanyin Pavilion and Doum palaceis Bixia palace, also known as Niangniang Temple. The palace was built in 1824and restored in 1982. It is called "three Notre dames", "Empress of descendants"and "Empress of vision".
"Three Notre dames" refer to the goddess of heaven, that is, thegrandmother of King Wen of Zhou; the goddess of heaven, that is, the mother ofKing Wen of Zhou; the goddess of heaven, that is, the wife of King Wen of Zhou,and the mother of King Wu of Zhou, that is, the "virtuous wife Liang Ping", whoenjoys a position among the faithful men and women. Many people come to paytribute and burn incense for good luck. The temple built on guanshengtai isDoumu palace. Doumu palace was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that it wasdonated by women. It was rebuilt in 1753. It contains an eight handed statue of"Yuanming Daomu Tianzun". It is said that it is the mother of the Big Dipper.This kind of three eyed and eight armed statue is very common in Buddhism, butit is rare among Taoist gods, which makes it very different.
According to Beidou benmingjing, no matter how poor, humble and unlucky youare, as long as you sincerely worship Doumu and recite her name, you will beable to eliminate disasters and diseases, prolong your life and be blessed. Thenext item on our agenda today is to have dinner at Fenghuang villa in Dongshanscenic area.
(return) it is called "Phoenix does not fall without treasure". It seemsthat Fenghuang mountain is indeed a treasure land. Otherwise, how couldFenghuang live here? How could the emperor admire the name of touring? Fenghuangmountain is a mountainous tourist scenic spot with natural landscape as the mainbody, peak caves, temples and historic sites as the main features. The charmingscenery has formed a natural tourist attraction since ancient times. Monkstravel around, emperors and generals travel around, celebrities travel inFenghuang mountain, leaving behind historical relics and beautiful legends.
In recent years, with Dandong speeding up the pace of opening up, FenghuangMountain has also attracted more and more visitors to Dandong. At ordinarytimes, the peak number of tourists can reach more than 200000. At present, ithas received tourists from more than 30 countries and regions. Every April 28 ofthe lunar calendar, people are everywhere at the root and the top of Fenghuangmountain. It's really a sea of people. When the flow of people is the most, itcan reach four or five hundred thousand people a day. They all come to rush tothe mountain and visit the temple, also known as Fenghuangshan temple fair. Onceupon a time, the annual "medicine king temple fair" was held in FenghuangMountain by Qing Kai envoys. That is to say, on April 28 of the lunar calendar,Sun Simiao, a famous pharmacist of the Tang Dynasty, was sacrificed.
On the 27th, the statue of the "king of medicine" toured the streets. Onthe 28th, people visited the mountains and temples to pray for his earlyrecovery or safety. As more and more people entered the temple to burn incense,the merchants took advantage of this opportunity to start business. Artists alsocome to show their skills. At this time, the spring is warm and the flowers areblooming, and the mountains and rivers are different. The people who visit thespring also choose this day to enjoy themselves.
This tradition has been carried on for a long time. What's different isthat this activity has become a large-scale mass material exchange meeting,which lasts from April 26 to April 30 of the lunar calendar. Today, although wehaven't finished the tour of Fenghuang mountain, we all have a certainunderstanding of the general situation of Fenghuang mountain. After a hardmorning and just having lunch, we have a short rest. Let's learn from each otherif you have any problems. I'll learn from you. OK, thank you.
