How many benefits will Luoyang bring when the wind blows?

The wind blew in Luoyang, which brought benefits to Luoyang, that is, it could let more people know the local customs of Luoyang. The clock in Masi Temple is one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang. During the Northern Wei, Tang and Song Dynasties, Baima Temple flourished because of Buddhism, and there were more than a thousand monks in the temple. Monks go to the temple to chant Buddhist scriptures on time every morning and evening. When the moon is white and the wind is clear, and the dawn is slightly dew, bells are ringing in the temple, the Buddha is chanting, and the bells are melodious and fluttering, which makes people feel relaxed and happy for miles. In the Ming dynasty, there was a big iron bell in the temple, weighing about 5000 Jin, and the bell was particularly loud. It is said that this clock has the same melody as the bell tower on Luoyang East Street, and it can ring * * *. People often hear the bell of Baima Temple at the same time, and then the bell of Luoyang bell tower rings. There is a saying among the people that "bells ring east, bells ring west and bells ring east". Therefore, the bell of Masi Temple is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang. Mangshan is like a long dragon winding in the north of Luoyang, hundreds of miles from east to west, with an altitude of about 250 meters, just like the natural barrier of Luoyang. As the saying goes, "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang", the ancients regarded Beimang as a place to sleep after death. There are many ancient tombs near Xinzhuang Village in Jin Meng, which are the burial areas of princes and ministers in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whenever Tomb-Sweeping Day is in spring, the Chung Yeung Festival in autumn (the ninth day of the ninth lunar month) is crisp in autumn, and men and women are in groups, so they want to climb high and look far. Especially the Cuiyunfeng in the north of the city, the ancient and famous trees in the Tang and Song Dynasties, are as green as clouds, and are sacred places for people to climb and play. Every time the sun sets, the dusk is boundless, and the lights are everywhere, and the smoke is curling up, standing on the top of the mountain to watch the tall battlements, magnificent palaces, wide gardens and magnificent pavilions below is very spectacular. This is the portrayal of "Mangshan Watching the Night", one of the eight scenic spots in Luoyang.

According to the records of Henan Province, there are 33 peaks from baimashan, the head of Mangshan Mountain, to Shenwei Mountain in the west. It runs through Mianchi, Xin 'an, Luoyang, Jin Meng, Yanshi and Gongxian, with a length of more than 380 miles from east to west. The name of the mountain varies from county to county. Take Luoyang as an example. 50 miles northwest of Mangshan Mountain, the mountain connecting the border of Yujin is Gucheng Mountain, also known as Qiaoting Mountain. To the south of Gucheng Mountain is Mount Li; To the east is Pingfeng Mountain, also known as Mangshan Mountain; Shanshan is called Mangmo; It is more suitable for Su Shan to transfer from Tanshan to Jin Meng. Turn south to Wu Jianshan; Mangshan is baimashan in the north, also known as Baima Osaka; Xia Han is Baihe Township, Mengjin County.

"Watching Mangshan at night" means standing on the Pingfeng Mountain of Mangshan and overlooking Luoyang. To the south of Pingfeng Mountain is the ancient king city, and to the east is Cuiyunfeng. Its trees are dense and green as clouds, hence the name Cuiyunfeng. Wu Zetian once built a splendid Summer Palace on it. Every hot summer day, he leads his ministers into the palace.
