Ask Li Binshan

Text/high? Figure/beam

In the wind and smoke of history, peaks named after people are rare. Unless he makes a special contribution, people will give him such a lofty honor. Li Binshan is a mountain famous for its people. On April 1 day, Yuxian Federation of Literary and Art Circles organized more than 40 members of Writers' Association and Photographers' Association at the invitation of Nanlou Town Government and Xiuzhai Village Committee. I took part in this activity and visited Li Binshan.

Recently, Li Binshan entered the sight and eardrum of Yuxian people at a very high frequency because of a newly built highway. This road is called Libinshan Road, which starts from the bridgehead of Xiushui River in the south, passes through Jinlong Street in the center of the county, and connects with Shuishenshan Yangquan North Station in the north, with a total length of 4,2 kilometers. As soon as this north-south artery is connected, it greatly relieves the traffic pressure in the county, and its position and role are very obvious.

Why did the county government name a road Li Bin Mountain Road? Where is Li Binshan?

"Shanxi Tongzhi" contains: "Li Binshan is twenty miles south of the county. There are six peaks and three streams, and there is Kistler Merrill Lynch. Li Changzhi was buried in this mountain after his death. " It is located 2km south of Xiuzhai Village, Nanlou Town, Yuxian County, with an altitude of1293m. In the Yuan Dynasty, Lanruo Temple was built in both North and South Mountain, so it was also commonly known as North and South Temple Mountain. This was recorded in "Records of Yuxian County" published in 1995.

Why Li Binshan? In the second volume of the Complete Works of Yuxian Literature and History published in the 20 1/edition, there is an article "Remember Li Binshan" written by Fu Shan, which is included in Han Wande's annotation entry1:"Li Binshan, a branch of the northern foot of Shenfu Mountain (Fangshan), is located in the south of Xiuzhai Village, Ben. Because Li Yin lived here in the Tang Dynasty and studied Buddhist scriptures, Yu people treated each other with courtesy, so it was commonly known as Li Binshan. " What is the basis of the origin of Shenfushan? According to the records in the "Spirit of Shenfushan Temple" by the Tang King, Fuxiu Shenshan was given a name in the Jin Dynasty, hence the name Shenfushan. Song Zhenghe gave the name Fangshan in the second year. During the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, a shepherd found a broken bat in Dongfeng and named it "God Bat". Qi Juanzao thinks that the mountain is like a bat, and the good news is a fake bat.

Li Changzhe: His real name is Tong Yuan and his name is Xuan Tong. Because of his dharma name, he is called "wise and strict elder", so his descendants are referred to as Li Changzhe for short. He was born in the Tang Dynasty, Li's royal family (Taiyuan), and he was a native. Later, he was indifferent to fame and fortune, refused the red tip, converted to seeking Tao, and traveled around the world. In the seventh year of Tang Kaiyuan (7 19), he came to Yu, where he devoted himself to discussing the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo in Shenfushan (now Fangshan) and Shuanghe Mountain. According to records, Li came to Tongying Township (now South Building) in Yu County. He lived there for three years, and then lived in Majiayu in the southeast of the township for five years. Then I moved to Hangongzhuang in the northwest and lived there for three years.

Legend has it that he went to Shenfushan and met a tiger in Guanggai Village (now Zhang Lan Village in Yuxian County). The tiger prostrated himself respectfully on the ground. Li said to him, I want to annotate Hua Yan Jing. Can you find me a place? The tiger stood up, touched by Li, hung the bag containing the scriptures on the tiger's back, and the tiger led him to a stone niche on Shenfushan, which is more than 20 miles away from here. It is said that there is no water beside the niche. After he came, it was stormy at night. He tore down a pine tree and turned it into a pool. Legend has it that he made candles with white light. When he lived in the mountains, two young women fetched water for him to burn incense and provided him with food. After he wrote Buddhist scriptures for five years, this woman disappeared. Some people say that these two women were born to white cranes. Later generations said that the place where he annotated Hua Yan Jing was Shuanghe Mountain, in the west of Luyu Village, Nanlou Town, Yuxian County.

According to Li's records, he is seven feet long, with big eyes, clear eyes, red lips and a long purple beard. Beautiful long arm, round straight hair, dark red color, right hand hair tail; Wearing birch hat, linen clothes, long skirt and big sleeves, not wearing a belt, usually walking barefoot; I don't eat much. I only eat ten dates every morning, like cypress cakes the size of copper coins. My name is "jujube cypress".

On March 28th, the 18th year of Kaiyuan (730), he sat in the earthen cave of Beisi Mountain at the age of 96. After his death, he was buried next to the "Shenfu Mountain North Oak Forest Stone Mountain", that is, the North Temple Mountain (Li Binshan) south of Xiuzhai Village today.

When Wu Zetian was in power, Li began to study Hua Yan Jing. Li was in Yuxian 1 1 year, and he wrote 40 volumes of Xinhua Yan Classics, followed by 4 volumes of Interpretation of the Classic Practice of Xinhua Yanjing, Brief Introduction of the Central Volume of Dafang Guangfo Huayan Classics, and Decryption of Ten Friends' Wisdom and Sorrow. Li's "Xinhua Yan" has many original ideas, which are unique compared with the works of other Chinese masters. Applying the thought of Yijing to the interpretation of Huayan is also a factor that attracts scholars' attention and promotes the popularization of this theory. His "Hua Yan He Jing Lun" has great influence not only in the Buddhist circles in Chinese mainland, but also in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea.

Mountains are named after people. Li Binshan, formerly known as Shenfushan, is now a hill at the northern foot of Fangshan. It attracts the attention of generations of the world with its unique charm.

Fu Shan, a Taoist thinker, calligrapher and physician in Ming and Qing Dynasties, lived in Li Binshan from 1644 to 1645 in Yuxian. He once wrote "Remembering Li Binshan", which is vivid: "The mountain was the Huayan Dojo in Li Chang in the Tang Dynasty, and now it doesn't serve the elderly. The three great men in the front hall are the cloisters in front of the hall, and the cloisters are connected at the back. There is a Buddha in the back hall, a Buddha step is built on the left, and there are roses, which are extremely fragrant and suspicious of Buddha and Bodhisattva. The yin of the Dojo, the axe splits the stone industry, and the industry stands like a screen. A stone shovel dials cypress for more than a dozen chapters, and a small white float illustrates it. The stone is full, clear and weak, and the monks and nuns are running away, and they are tired. When you are a pavilion, you have no author. In Ishimachi, there are clusters of roses with different colors in front of the well, which are close to the so-called ten sisters in dialect. Residents, travelers, with uninterrupted love. Ai yesong? Bai Ye? Ten sisters? "

In the fourth year of Qing Shunzhi (l647), he was a scholar, a cultural celebrity in Sanjin, an official in Hunan and a constant Taoist priest. The full text of Yuxian People's Armed Forces Department visited Li Binshan many times and stayed with his companions for three days accompanied by monks. Li Binshan praised in the article "Travel Notes of Binshan Austria": "Oh, this day's trip is almost in Wuling, a poor peach blossom garden, completely isolated from the world. Why not give up the humanistic environment and go to three islands on ten continents to find pots and ask Dan Qiu! "

Wu Jiegu, a native of Yuxian County, was appointed as the magistrate of Tianmen County, Hubei Province during the Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty, and wrote the poem You Bin Shan:

Xing came to the blue mountains to rest, and wild birds lived in seclusion.

Flying in Hongqiao with crutches? slug

Clouds steam three streams together, waves shake six peaks.

Lying on the turquoise and wearing a raincoat is the same dream.

The main existing relics of Libin Mountain include Rang Cliff Site, several inscriptions of different ages, Laoquan, stupa, immortal stone, ancient gatehouse and so on.

Ruins of Jeania; At present, the main building on the Rangya site is a cave with three eyes connected, which is built on the mountain and divided into north and south parts. The front is blue brick, and the construction date is unknown. At present, a monk from Changzhi practices here all the year round. There are portraits of Buddha Sakyamuni and Guanyin in the middle cave, sundries in the east and monk's room in the west. On the left and right sides of these three holes are the ruins of houses and the rubble of broken walls.

In the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty (1449), the inscription on the rebuilt Lanrang Temple recorded: "The county governs the west, and the mountain name is protocol, and the temple name is Lanrang, which was founded in the fourth year of Yanyou in the Great Song Dynasty." After investigation, there was no longevity extension year in Song Dynasty, and the year numbers were Jingyou, Huang You, Jiayou, Yuan You, Chunyou, Baodu and Deyou respectively. The year number of Yanyou appeared in Yuan Renzong in Yuan Dynasty for seven years, from the first year 13 14- 1320. As for the exact date of the establishment of Lanya Temple in Libinshan, further research by experts is needed.

Lan Ruo is the provincial name of "aranya", which comes from the transliteration of Aranya in Sanskrit. Its original meaning is forest, which means there is no place to be upset, and later it also refers to the general Buddhist temple. Give up everything: a cow crows on the ground, but it can be placed in Lan Ruo, which can take away the noise. Liu Zongyuan's Taming, the barrister of Hengshan Intermediate People's Court, said: "The official donor is the temple, and the folk creators are Zhao Ti and Lan Ruo." Although we can't determine the specific year, and there is no evidence to prove whether the Lanrang Temple in Li Binshan was built by the government or privately, this well-known inscription of fourteen years of orthodoxy was written by Zhang Xiang, Zhang Tong, Xian Chengren, Yang Ning, Qu Jian, Fu Run, Zhu Hao, Liu Jing, university students Cheng Han, Qin Min, Langzhong Liu Yuan, General Hanergy and Confucian scholars in this county. Therefore, it is worthy of the name to call Lanrang Temple.

From the inscriptions and the accounts of scholars of past dynasties, we can know that there have been temples and monks on Libin Mountain for nearly a thousand years. With the passage of time, the temples here have gone through the process of birth, aging, illness and death, just like a person's life. The temple on Libin Mountain has collapsed and been rebuilt since it was built that year. Collapse again, rebuild again. This repeated cycle, like the inheritance from generation to generation, has been passed down to today. This is the unchangeable law of natural development and it is inevitable.

Fu You Spring (also known as the Old Man Spring): The records of Yuxian County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties all say, "There is Fu You Spring on Libin Mountain and the tomb of the old man." Mr. Fu Shan also mentioned this spring in his article Li Binshan, saying: The stone well is full, and the monks in the temple are divided and overflow.

Lanrang Temple is 50 meters west, with lush trees around the mountainside and a small stone well in the middle. The water inside is as clear as a mirror and as blue as the sky. It's spring in Fu You. The monk who lives in the temple now puts a small pump in the well and directly pumps the spring water back to the temple with a water pipe. It seems convenient to wash and drink water. According to local villagers, this spring water is inexhaustible all year round, and it is extremely sweet. Miraculously, Xiunan Coal Mine, the south building at the foot of this mountain, has been in production for many years, but there is always plenty of water in spring.

Stupa; This tower was built at the top of the mountainside behind the Rangya Temple, which is about tens of meters higher than the Rangya Temple.

According to the inscription, the tower was built in Yuanyuan Town (1295). It is the oldest existing masonry tower building in Yuxian County. The tower is 0/8.5m high, with five eaves and five floors. There is a dark floor between each floor, which is actually nine floors, all made of bricks. The bottom of the tower is sandstone, and the first floor is brick, with a height of 0.8m, a base height of 3.2m and a circumference of 9m, which is hexagonal and divided layer by layer from bottom to top. Stone tablets are embedded in the north, south, southwest and southeast walls of the first floor. The height of each floor above the second floor is 0.45 meters, the bottom is cubic and the top is hexagonal. The side walls of the second and third floors are both built with square holes with a height of 0.5 meters and a width of 0.3 meters, and the inside is hollow. Each floor is supported by two short columns inside and outside, and the composite beam roof truss in different directions is composed of many diagonal braces and beams between the columns. All components of the tower, such as beam frame, column head, roof, bucket arch, tile mouth, ridge beast, etc. , are carved from blue bricks, exquisite and delicate, beautiful and solemn, really exquisite and delicate.

1987, the tower was announced as the first batch of county-level key cultural relics protection units, and it was renovated by Yuxian government and cultural relics department in 2008. In 20 13, Yangquan municipal people's government recognized it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

What is not optimistic is that the tower is now slightly tilted visually. According to professional measurement, the tilt is 20, and relevant units should pay attention to protection.

Fairy sitting on a stone; This stone is an irregular square natural boulder at the lower end of the top of Libin Mountain. It is about 3.4 meters thick, 5 meters long and 4 meters wide and covers an area of 20 square meters. It is hard, open and tidy like a wall, but its edges and corners have been eroded and weathered into an oval by the hands of years, which is simple and simple. It's like a guest from outer space who has stayed in this world for too long, but lying down calmly shows his detachment from the flying world.

177 1 year (thirty-six years of Qianlong), Zhang Qi, a student born in the Qing Dynasty, wrote an essay on the south wall of the layman, describing the origin of "immortal works". Its cloud pattern says: "It is said that there are several big stones in the north corner of Binshan Mountain, and the single stone is surrounded by strange peaks, flying fairy and playing with its length." Although I heard what he said but didn't see it, people were suspicious, but who should I trust alone? When Gai Yi saw the immortal spirit for the first time, then he saw the immortal spirit, and repeatedly he saw the immortal spirit, so he helped the pen and book to make the immortal sit. Ha ha! Fairy sitting is a stone fairy, and fairy going is a stone fairy. He who appreciates stones is the one who appreciates immortals. If there are people who worship the gods, Shi Ning will not vote for them. It would be a pity if the contract kept promise. "Influenced by the times, although this passage is superstitious, it still has certain cultural value from the perspective of its calligraphy and sculpture art.

Whether Li Changzhe ever sat on this "Immortal Sitting" and asked about Buddhism and Taoism and commented on Huayan Sutra is unknown, but this "Immortal Sitting" is a very suitable place for meditation and monasticism.

Binshan Academy; According to the guide arranged by Nanlou Town, the old people said that there was an academy on Libin Mountain with a history of hundreds of years, but it was only small-scale. In Yuxian County, the story of father and son Hanlin and an uncle all have something to do with this academy.

Guided by the tour guide, we walked sixty or seventy meters eastward from Lanrang Temple and saw the said academy. The main building of the academy has collapsed, but the foundation shape of the house is still there. In front of the overgrown courtyard, there is only a brick carving mill gate house about 1.5 meters wide and about two meters high. On the front of the gatehouse is written "Fanyi Baiwang" and on the back is written "A model for all generations". There is a lying memorial tablet in the courtyard, which was set up by Kang Kongzhao, the magistrate of Qingyu County, the county garrison, the county discipline, the county canon history and others in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 22nd year of Daoguang (1842).

There is an existing Tong Qi monument in Lanruo Temple, which was erected in November of the fourth year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1468), and the inscription is "Record of Ten Kings of New Carvings". In the article, "Grain Rain County governs the southwest corner to the old building of the Ten Kings Temple of Lanrang Temple in Libin Mountain, which was built before the former residence was added."

Outside the Ten Kings Hall, another "Fan Yi Hundred Kings" Academy was built. Who does this "Fan Yi Hundred Kings" refer to?

Confucius is a master of Confucianism. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty "ousted a hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", all generations have respected Confucius. Of course, Li Binshan is no exception and will be influenced by various cultures. In the eleventh year of Dade in Yuan Dynasty (1307), Yuan Chengzong named Confucius as the "King of Dacheng and Wensheng Xuan", saying: "Confucius is not sanctified, if you cover it, you will be ignorant without holes; The saints after Confucius have no choice but Confucius. The so-called ancestors described Yao and Shun, drew the style of civil and military affairs, set an example for the hundred kings and set an example for future generations. "

Li Binshan's "Fan Yi Bai Wang" Academy, built in the Qing Dynasty, should be a temple dedicated to Confucius. In ancient times, it was a common habit to regard temples as places for training students in academies.

In the Qing Dynasty, Tian, the father and Tian, the son of Xianghe Village, Nanlou Town, Hanlin County, were both in Libinshan Academy not far from the village. Tian's father was regarded as a great scholar at that time, and he tasted that "Confucianism should be studied, honesty should be taken as the service, and the way of sage should be practical and rewarding." This is strikingly consistent with the philosophy of Neo-Confucianism advocated by Neo-Confucianism masters at the same time. Tian Shenghui has been teaching students for 50 years. The successful students in Jienan Palace and the official version cannot be listed. Among them are his three sons: Yu Gong, Yu Shi, Yu Ren and his grandchildren, Chao Jun and Bang Jun, as well as County Juren, South Building Zhang Jingxing and Jinshi Shi Yingong.

1853 (January 8th, Xianfeng three years) Tian Yu publicly failed to return to his father in his later years. He taught his younger brother Shi Yuhe and his son Guo Jun at Libinshan College, which is normal .. 1853, and was invited to give lectures at Pingding Guanshan College. 1856 was invited to give lectures at Yuci Feng Ming Academy. 1858 (eight years of Xianfeng), awarded the official position as a college student, drinking and wearing three products. Lecturer of Jinyang Academy, students of Jinyang Academy invited Teacher Li and Professor Tian Jingtang Zebei. It can be said that Tian has made outstanding contributions to the cultivation of students in Yangquan and the education in Shanxi.

Nanlou Town is a town with strong economic development in Yangquan City. Li Binshan's Buddhist origin and Confucian culture are profound. The development of Libinshan cultural rich mine has been listed as an important project of the local government. I believe that Li Binshan will show more and more charm in the process of Yuxian's commitment to Yangquan, Yu Jiancheng, and in the process of developing global tourism to promote economic development.
