A famous historical and cultural city with a history of nearly 3,000 years, it is one of the four best-preserved ancient cities in China.

The streets of the ancient city are "earth-like", climbing the ancient city wall of Pingyao and overlooking the whole city.

At Rishengchang Bank, you might as well ask the old shopkeeper in robes and mandarin jackets to write you a manuscript in the earliest way.

brief introduction

Hanging Temple was originally named "Kong Xuanting", but it was later renamed as "Hanging Temple" because the whole temple hung on a cliff.

The whole temple is made of wood, with 40 halls and pavilions. In fact, the floating temple is not big. The most amazing thing is that it depends on the tenon structure, embedded in the cliff, and will not fall.

Hangkong Temple was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty with a history of 1500 years. It is the earliest and best preserved high-altitude wooden cliff building in China.

Pavilions and pavilions are connected by plank roads. Although the temples are small, they are unique. Li Bai, a poet, was drunk and spectacular, and Xu Xiake praised him as a great sight on earth.

8. Wutai Mountain

brief introduction

Wutai Mountain is located in Wutai County, the northeast of Shanxi Province, with an average elevation of more than 1000 meters, and the highest point, the Yemen Peak in Beitai, is about 3058 meters above sea level, which is called "the roof of North China". Wutai Mountain is about 300 kilometers away from Fiona Fang. Because the five peaks are like five pillars, they rise from the ground and stand tall, and the summit is as flat as a platform, hence the name Wutai. Because of the cold climate on the mountain, it is still unknown in midsummer, so it is also called Liang Qingshan. It is a tourist area integrating natural scenery, historical relics, ancient architecture art, Buddhist culture, folk customs and summer vacation.

Wutai Mountain is a famous Buddhist resort at home and abroad, and it is the Dojo of Manjusri Bodhisattva. Wutai Mountain has a long history of building temples and a large scale, ranking first among the four famous Buddhist mountains, so it is known as the Golden Wutai Mountain. Wutai Mountain, together with Lumbini Garden in Nepal, Luoguyuan, Bodhgaya and Naga in India, is also known as the five Buddhist holy places in the world, and enjoys a high reputation in Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal and other countries. Wutaishan Temple was built in Han Dynasty. Due to the prosperity of Manjusri belief in the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 360 temples. In the Qing Dynasty, with the introduction of Lamaism into Wutai Mountain, there appeared two temples with their own characteristics: the Qing and the Huang temples. The area surrounded by the five tops of Wutai Mountain is called inside the platform, and its periphery is called outside the platform.

Wutai is said to be the earliest site of Taoism. In Taoist classics, Wutai Mountain is called Zifu Mountain, and there was once a Zifu Mountain. According to the records in Liangshan, Liang Qing, when Manjusri Bodhisattva of Buddhism first came to China, she lived in a cave with a stone basin in the metaphysical view of Taoism, indicating that Wutai Mountain was occupied by Taoism at that time.

Buddhism was introduced into Wutai Mountain, which generally began in the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to historical records, in December of the 10th year of Yongping (AD 67), the messenger sent by Emperor Han Ming to the Western Regions to seek dharma came to Luoyang with two Indian monks Morton and Zhu Falan. In the 11th year of Yongping, Mo Teng and Zhu Falan came to Wutai Mountain (then called Liang Qing) from Luoyang. They wanted to build a temple here because there was a pagoda of Asoka on the mountain for a long time, and Wutai Mountain was also the place where Manjusri Bodhisattva lectured, but because Wutai Mountain was a Taoist base at that time, it was quite crowded out, so they learned about Emperor Han Ming. In order to distinguish Buddhism from Taoism, the Han court invited monks and Taoists to perform, explain and verify, so the two sides reached an agreement to burn scriptures to distinguish the authenticity (it is said that the place where scriptures were burned is in Xi 'an today). As a result, all the Taoist scriptures were burned, but the Buddhist scriptures were intact, so they got the right to build temples.
