Where is Mengshan Mountain in Shanxi?

Question 1: The Mengshan Giant Buddha in Mengshan, Shanxi, is known as the largest Buddha in the world. I believe many people know that it is Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, with a height of 7 1 meter. If you ask where the Buddha statue, known as the second largest Buddha in the world, is, I'm afraid not so many people know. This Buddha statue is located in Mengshan, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, so it is called Mengshan Giant Buddha (also known as Xishan Giant Buddha). Although it is 8 meters shorter than Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, it was built 162 years earlier and completed in 55 1 year in Beiqi, with a history of 1455 years. It can be said that it is the earliest open-air cliff carved Buddha in China. After the Five Emperors built the Giant Buddha in 55 1 year, there was an emperor named Gao Yang in history. His capital was in the north of Anyang, Henan Province, and it was then called Yecheng. In addition, he also regarded Jinyang City as his other capital, which is now Gucheng Ying Village, Jinyuan Town, Taiyuan City. Gao Yang was extravagant and extravagant, overhauled the palace, made Jinyang City far away from Yecheng resplendent and magnificent, and dug a big Buddha statue on the mountain behind the Kaihua Temple in Xishan. He collected farmers from all over the country and began to dig the giant Buddha, resting day and night. Lighting with oil lamps at night. Ten thousand oil lamps are lit on the whole mountain, and the flame can even reach Jin Yanggong at the foot of the mountain. In winter, when the weather was very cold, he ordered the workers to boil water and mud and start construction on a large scale. The lives of ordinary people were miserable and there were countless casualties. After Gao Yang's death, his son Yin Gao succeeded to the throne, and the project did not stop, but grew bigger and bigger. It was not until 577 AD, when Gao Wei, the fifth emperor of Gao Yang, was in power, that this giant Buddha was built. The Giant Buddha was built by the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Yang, and it was built under the supervision of four emperors: Yin Gao, Gao Yan, Gao Zhan and Gao Wei. There are also records in the history books: "Levin, the Emperor of Awen Xuandi in Northern Qi Dynasty, built a temple in Mengyang Mountain in Tianbao for two years, and endowed it with the history of civilization", "The statue on the mountain has been more than 20 years, which is caused by latitude". Wu Zetian presented the cassock to the Buddha. According to records, Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, often came to Mengshan to worship Buddha and changed his name to "Hua Kai". Especially in the fifth year of Tang Xianqing, when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian heard about the Buddha and came to worship, they were all surprised to see the Buddha. Wu Zetian now handed down the imperial edict and dedicated the cassock to the Buddha. After returning to Chang 'an, the palace immediately made a huge cassock for the Buddha. Because the cassock was too big, it took a year to make it under the supervision of the eunuch. The finished cassock was sent to Jinyang City by the special envoy, and a cassock ceremony was held for the Buddha under the gaze of millions of monks and customs in Jinyang. For a time, the giant Buddha was like a national temple in the eyes of the royal family, and it was also highly respected in the eyes of the people, which made the Mengshan Giant Buddha in China look particularly glamorous for a long time. Disappeared for 600 years, and mysteriously reappeared for 400 years. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, with the change of dynasties, the changes of years, the destruction of war and the erosion of nature's wind, frost, rain and snow, the once famous Mengshan Giant Buddha finally collapsed in the pavilion at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Since then, the abdomen, hands, legs, pedestal and pedestal of the giant Buddha have been buried in rocks, residual bricks and soil, which is unknown to future generations. After that, the giant Buddha suddenly disappeared completely. It was not until the 1980s, more than 600 years later, that the giant Buddha was discovered by an old man in Taiyuan, Shanxi. After all kinds of natural force majeure, a goaf has been formed 35 meters below the Giant Buddha. Once the roof collapses, it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the giant Buddha. Protection work is imminent. In June 2006, a group of village cadres in Sidi Village established Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha Protection Foundation. In September, 2006, in order to welcome the National Day Golden Week, Taiyuan held a promotion activity of "Jinyuan Cultural Tourism" and vigorously launched "Sixteen Scenes of Jinyuan". The little-known Mengshan Giant Buddha is juxtaposed with Jinci and Tianlong Mountain for the first time. On May 12, 2008, Mengshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area was opened to the public, recreating this giant cliff stone carving 1400 years ago. There is a jargon in the field of cultural relics protection, which is called repairing the old as the old. Then, how can the protection and development of Xishan Giant Buddha be restored as old as before? For example, there are different views on the reconstruction of Buddha head. Director Yang Xiusheng of Jinyuan District Cultural Relics and Tourism Bureau said that he was not in favor of rebuilding the Buddha's head and should avoid destructive protection. Disability is also a beauty. After the practice of repairing the Buddha's head in Sidi Village was stopped, geological experts from Beijing stressed that the Buddha's head made of cement would be very uncoordinated with the original Buddha's body. Many famous buildings and gardens in western history were destroyed, such as the Colosseum, Parthenon, Heidelberg Castle and so on. Westerners prefer to commemorate them by protecting the ruins and form a ruined culture. During the construction of Mengshan Scenic Spot, the development of scenic spots should reduce man-made traces and maintain a sense of historical vicissitudes. Final repair plan ... >>

Question 5: Taiyuan Mengshan Route Mengshan is about 20 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan and Sidi Village north of Jinci Temple. The main peak is1325m high, and Mengshan xiao yue is one of the eight scenic spots in old Taiyuan. In the second year of Tianbao (55 1), Emperor Levin of the Northern Qi Dynasty expanded the Great Zhuang Yan Temple in the Eastern Wei Dynasty into Kaihua Temple, and carved a 200-foot-high Cliff Buddha, which is called Xishan Buddha, slightly higher than Leshan Buddha, and is the largest Buddha statue in China at present. During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, a new Pigai Buddha Pavilion was built. Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian came here to worship Buddha and give robes in the palace. Due to the collapse of the temple, the giant Buddha was submerged in the ruins, and only the chest and neck were seen. The chest width was 25m, the height was17.5m, and the neck diameter was 5m. At present, it is being planned and developed as a tourism resource. Tianlongshan Tourist Area, Ding Feng District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province, formerly known as Fangshan, is a branch of Luliang Mountain, with an altitude of 1700 meters. It is located 36 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan City and 14 kilometers away from Jinci Scenic Area. It is connected by a dedicated road. Tianlong Mountain has beautiful peaks and hills, covered with pine and cypress, cool climate, gurgling streams and springs. As early as Gao Huan in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Summer Palace was built, and Tianlong Temple was built in Levin in the Northern Qi Dynasty, all of which were grottoes. This mountain is named after a temple, which is famous for its grottoes. From then on, Tianlong Mountain became famous. Tianlongshan Scenic Area includes three natural villages of Wupo, Nanping and Yaotou in Jinci Town and Nanshan and Beishan (namely Tianlongshan) at the source of Liuzigou, with an area of about 185 hectares. This mountain is sandy. There are many mountain springs and abundant springs; There are many trees in this mountain, and the forest coverage rate reaches 70%. There are many birds and animals in the mountains, and there are more than 20 kinds of national first-and second-class protected animals. The scenic spot is beautiful, the mountains are not high or straight, quiet and cool; Trees are small, dense and varied. In ancient times, it was a famous tourist attraction. Today, it is a part of Jinci-Tianlong Mountain Scenic Area, a key cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province and the main body of Tianlong Mountain National Forest Park. As usual, walk down the stone steps from the top of the highway to Tianlong Mountain, first visit the scenic spots and grottoes on the way, and then visit Tianlong Temple at the other five points. For example, from Liuzigou to the west, there will be manger and Sanhe Village along the way. Tourists traveling from Nanshan to Beishan are another kind of fun. The tour should take Tianlong Temple as the node and focus on the grottoes. In recent years, the number of tourists visiting Tianlong Mountain Scenic Area in Taiyuan has increased year by year. Since you have been to Mengshan before, and the scenery in Tianlong Mountain is better, I suggest you go to Tianlong Mountain. Have fun!
