I dreamed of climbing the ladder in Zhenfo Mountain, climbing the ladder and realizing loyalty and filial piety.

There is a magical legend in the town of Foshan: According to the county records, during the reign of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (1785), farmers surnamed Jiang in Gaopingzhai practiced medicine and cultivated medicine while practicing Taoism. Hundreds of people were cured for free. They were called "Jiang" or "Jiang Living Buddha". Jiang Sui established Dehua Temple in Gaoping Village, and the people gathered on the mountain to worship and raise funds to build the temple. Therefore, Sun Mou, the magistrate (now Dazhou City), had no children after marriage, so he went to burn incense and beg for children, and got his wish. So he was convinced of the inspiration and praised it as the "true Buddha", that is, he ordered a large-scale construction, expanded Dehua Temple into three temples, and named it "Zhenfo Mountain".

Zhenfo Mountain is located in Fushan Township, more than 30 kilometers south of Daxian County. The Bodhisattvas in the Daxiong Hall of Dehua Temple rank first, with the river in the middle and the Tathagata on the left, which is unique among many Buddhist temples in China. Jiang advocated "educating the masses with morality and taking loyalty and filial piety as the foundation", and set up a unique banner in Buddhism, so he called himself the reincarnation of Tathagata. The "fusion" between Jiang and Sakyamuni naturally formed the Buddhist doctrine theory and the way of loyalty and filial piety. There is a couplet in the Ten Kings Temple: "Loyalty and filial piety are the real Buddha, and Gan Kun is not old in this Lingshan". Describe the relationship between Buddhism and loyalty and filial piety.

Loyalty and filial piety have been advocated by Confucianism in China since ancient times, and the training of self-cultivation and family planning has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Jiang avoided the mystery of Buddhism and combined profound Buddhist philosophy with traditional Buddhist moral education, which was summed up in an incisive sentence "loyalty and filial piety". Spreading Buddhism in this way is easy to understand and is undoubtedly the most easily accepted and welcomed by the masses. Jiang's disciples named this Buddhist belief theory with loyalty and filial piety as "Qingyun School" and incorporated it into Zen. As a result, Zhenfo Mountain Temple preached loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, and its reputation spread like wildfire. Some people who claim to have loyalty, filial piety and moral integrity come to this mountain to worship, write articles and write inscriptions.

Up to now, in Zhenfo Mountain, every year on the 19th day of the sixth lunar month, people who worship Buddha and burn incense line up. In front of the shrine, the incense offered by good men and women is bright and smoky. In other places, only paper is burned for worship, but only the "real Buddha" temple is allowed to set off firecrackers. As a result, the sound of Zhong Kui, the sound of the Buddha's name, and firecrackers are endless, and the religious atmosphere is very strong.

The scenic spot is mainly composed of Dehua Temple, Jade Buddha Temple, Empty City Plan, Lingyunzhai and other cultural landscapes, as well as natural landscapes such as carmine Lake, Sanxianshi, Conch Cave, Lotus Temple, Yunhua Mountain and Daoling. The twin towers of a Buddhist temple far away from Dehua Temple are unique in shape and exquisite in craftsmanship. The tower height is 2 1 floor, which is the highest in China. Ancient temples, stone pagodas, Merrill Lynch, beautiful peaks, caves and lakes are integrated into one, with a long history and culture and simple and profound folk customs.

From the gate of Zhenfo Mountain Scenic Area to the mountain, there are118 stone steps that reach the temple gate, like a hanging ladder suspended in mid-air, with a width of 32 meters and camphor trees, cypresses and pine trees on both sides. On the right side of the mountain, there is a pavilion with cornices and corners, which is elegant and exquisite. This pavilion is very famous in Long Ting. Hundreds of years have passed, and I don't know how many people come here to watch dragons. Although they can't see dragons, they have another interest.
