Buddhism and tourist attractions in China. Wutai Mountain is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, between Wutai County of Xinzhou City and Fan Shi, 230 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City, the provincial capital. Together with Mount Emei in Sichuan, Mount Jiuhua in Anhui and Mount Putuo in Zhejiang, it is also called "Four Famous Buddhist Mountains in China". It, together with Lumbini Garden in Nepal, Rokuyan, Bodhgaya and Naga in India, is called the five Buddhist holy places in the world, or the five famous Buddhist mountains in the world. 1982165438+10 In October, the State Council announced Wutai Mountain as a "national key scenic spot" for the first time. 1992 was approved as "National Forest Park" by the Ministry of Forestry. 200 1 1 National Tourism Administration approved it as "the first batch of national AAAA-level tourist attractions". On June 26th, 2009, it was officially listed in the World Heritage List at the 33rd World Heritage Conference held in Seville, Spain. Wutai Mountain is composed of ancient crystalline rocks, with deep cuts in the north, towering five peaks and flat peaks, so it is called Wutai: Wanghaishan in Dongtai, GuaYue Feng in the west, Jinxiu Peak in the south, Yedou Peak in the north and Cuiyan Peak in the middle. Outside the five peaks, it is called outside Taiwan, and inside the five peaks, it is called inside Taiwan, with Taihuai Town as the center. Wutai has a circumference of about 250 kilometers and a total area of 2,837 square kilometers. Among the five stops, Beitai is the highest, and the top of Beitai is 3058 meters above sea level, which is known as the "roof of North China". The climate in the mountains is cold, there is ice at the top of the platform all year round, and the weather is cool in midsummer, so it is also called "Liang Qingshan" and is a summer resort. Wutai Mountain is one of the earliest Buddhist temple buildings in China. Since Yongping (58 ~ 75) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, temples have been built in rows, pagodas are towering, and the halls are magnificent, which is the place where China's historic buildings gather. Sculptures, stone carvings, murals and calligraphy are all over temples, all of which have high artistic value. At the height of the Tang Dynasty, Wutai Mountain had more than 300 temples. After several changes, the temple buildings were destroyed. At present, there are 47 temples in and outside Taiwan Province. Among them, North Temple and nanzenji are the two earliest existing wooden structures in China. Xiantong Temple (Lingjiu Temple), Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Peak, Statue Temple and Luobian Temple are listed as "Five Zen Places in Wutai Mountain". Taihuai Town is a place where temples are concentrated, and it is also the center of Buddhist activities and economic life in Wutai Mountain. According to legend, Wutai Mountain is the place where Manjusri Bodhisattva gives lectures. In history, many Buddhists from India, Nepal, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and other countries came here to make pilgrimages to seek dharma. It is the only Buddhist Dojo in China with both Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism. In midsummer, pilgrims from home and abroad come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.
