Where is the fun in Changting?

Changting Mazu Tempel-Tingzhou Tianhou Palace: Tingzhou Tianhou Palace is located in Chengdong Street, Changting County, outside Chaotianmen. It consists of mountain gate, Langmen, stage, bell and drum tower, water attic, front hall, main hall, back hall and Notre Dame room. Surrounded by water, it is a place for offering sacrifices to Mazu and a tourist attraction of August 1st in Tingzhou. Tingzhou Tianhou Palace was built in the Shaoding period of the Southern Song Dynasty, formerly known as "Sanshengji Palace". "Lin Tingzhi" in the Song Dynasty reads: "Sanshengji Palace is located in Nanfuwenfang, Changting County, Chaozhou Ancestral Temple (Tianji Temple). ..... Today, county officials will pray for the salt plan. " According to the examination, during the Shaoding period in Song Lizong, Li Hua, the magistrate of Tingzhou, the originator of the famous forensic doctor and Song Ci, the magistrate of Changting County, opened up the navigation of Tingjiang River, which made the exchanges between Tingzhou and Chaoshan increasingly prosperous. Because there are many rapids and dangerous beaches in the Tingjiang River, Mazu Tempel was built along the Tingjiang River for the sake of shipping safety, and prayed to Mazu, the sea god, to protect the safety of all ships. In 1950s, Tianhou Palace in Tingzhou was placed under the management and use of county power plants. After the reform and opening up, in order to protect the former site of cultural relics and restore their original appearance, the county government made a decision to relocate the power company, set up a maintenance association, and maintain the Tianhou Palace in an organized and planned way. The restoration project started at 1994, and now three main halls, namely, the front, middle and rear halls, the palace gate, the stage, the bell tower, the drum tower and the two corridors and the water tree, have been restored. Tianhou Palace is presented to the world with its original majestic new posture. The front of Tianhou Palace is a tall and magnificent stone building, and four large wall carvings, such as "Dragon and Phoenix in One Kind", are inlaid on both sides of the middle door. The couplet reads: "The divine power of Tianhai will not stir up waves, but sail across the shore, and both the blessed mother and the people will prosper and die in the world." The shield raised by the stone arch above the lintel is engraved with three golden characters "Tianhou Palace". The foreheads of the left and right side doors mirror "Heqing" and "Haiyan" respectively. After entering the door, there is a stage between the two doors; On the left and right are the bell tower and the drum tower respectively. The empty flat in the middle of the two corridors has a unique layout, and the slate in the front section is spotless. In the second half, the red flowers and green trees complement each other, and two turtles are lying beside them. Climbing up the stairs along the corridor is the front hall. There are pillars on both sides of the front hall, and the hatchback is dedicated to the statue of the Lord God of Wealth and a flower, a man and a flower. The front hall was disposed of by the patio and a huge table was placed. It is said that meat dishes can be placed on the altar in the front hall (but not in the main hall). Because Mazu is a sea god, different from Buddha, it can sometimes be used to make meat dishes. Behind the altar is the patio, and there are statues of twelve gods, such as wind, rain, thunder and electricity, in the glass frames of the two corridors of the patio. They held their weapons in awe. A few steps up from the Twelve Elephants Gallery is the main hall, which is a large-span beam-lifting building, similar to the front hall. The dragon wrapped around two stone pillars is lifelike, and the Wufeng Pagoda supported by the double-layer wishful bucket arch forms a progressive level with the Wufeng Pagoda in the front hall. The statue of Mazu is placed in the center of the main hall, with a kind face, a splendid robe and a beautiful silver handkerchief carved with golden thread, which is very luxurious and dignified. This statue has a history of nearly 400 years. 3600 rotating perennial lights make the hall bright and solemn. The back hall is called the Temple, which is dedicated to the statues of Mazu's father and mother Wang. On the right of Qing Ji Hall is the virgin room. Brocade embroidered pillows, dragon bed dressing tables, mahogany tables and chairs, and painted wooden floors are quaint and elegant, full of boudoir atmosphere. The entire Tingzhou Tianhou Temple is resplendent with red walls and yellow tiles and carved beams and painted buildings. Dragon Palace in Taichung, Taiwan Province 1997 came to Changting to welcome Mazu in Tingzhou to cross Taiwan for offering sacrifices, and the Tianhou Temple in Tingzhou was honored as the ancestral temple. Mazu in Tingzhou has built a bridge of friendship between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Changting's unique landscape-Double Silver Pagoda: There is a famous unique landscape in Changting County-Double Silver Pagoda, which consists of Bagua Longquan and Fuxue Pagoda. It is strange because it is different from the usual tower shape. It is in the shape of an inverted tower. Bagua Longquan was built in Kaiyuan Temple in the Tang Dynasty (AD 7 13-74 1 year), also known as Kaiyuan Well. This tower has a well-shaped structure, with a wide bottom and a narrow bottom and an opening width of1.72m.. All of them are made of large stone slabs, and each floor is made of eight stones to form an octagon. Layering from top to bottom, shrinking step by step. It is like an octagonal hollow stone tower, which is inserted into the water upside down. This well is16m deep. Well water is connected with Longtan water in Tingjiang River. Looking at the tower, Longquan, which gathers at the bottom of the tower, is as clear as a mirror and has not withered for many years. There is a dragon hidden in the bottom water of the fragrant seal tower, which sprays water and spits beads all the year round. Even in the year of drought, it will not dry up, but it will be sweeter and purer. In the third year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1524), it was renamed as "Bagua Longquan", and the old "Changting County Records" called it Yin Tower.

The Yinta Temple in Fu Xue was built in the second year of Song Xianping (AD 999) and is located in Fu Xue in the Song Dynasty. The tower body is narrow and wide, and it is conical, made of layers of blue bricks. The wellhead is 1m in diameter and13.5m in depth. Well full of clear springs, sparkling all year round. If you whisper to the wellhead, the echo will be deafening. By the well, there is still an ancient stone tablet of "Fu Xue Yin Tower", which is more than one meter long and engraved with the words "Qing Jiaqing August Gong".

The distance between the two Yin towers is more than 100 meters, so they are collectively called "Double Yin Tower". The purpose of the ancient people to build the tower is to hope that literary talents will come forth in large numbers in several counties of Tingzhou. According to legend, there is also a wonderful legend circulating here: in ancient times, a foreigner was an official in Tingzhou because another Tingzhou official of the imperial court offended him. So he held a grudge and plotted revenge, so he built a Wankui Pagoda and a Xinfeng Pagoda in the east and west mountains of Chengguan with malicious intent (both of them were destroyed), which were far apart, like two swords holding the Panlong of Wolong Mountain, and could not rise. After this plan was seen through by Tingzhou people, an underground yin tower was built opposite to the above-ground yang tower to control yang with yin, so as to protect Tingcheng Wolong from soaring and prosperity. Guantang Cave, a must in Changting County: In Fangguan Village, Nanshan Town, Changting County, there is a stone peak with towering stone walls and many strange stones, and osmanthus flowers are all over the mountain, which is called Shifeng Village. Yamashita is the birthplace of Shangguan Zhou, a famous painter in Qing Dynasty. The stone peak looks like a turquoise pen, and looks like a lion lying on the ground from a distance. Shifeng Cave is a natural cave. It is said that in the long ancient times, the crust of Shifeng cave changed and the cracks expanded, resulting in many expansive cracks, which were dissolved by running water and formed a colorful landscape.

Fangguan Cave has developed Dingguang Cave, Qixing Cave, Longgong Jiuqu Cave, Xianren Cave and Tiantong Cave. Coincidentally, "there is a hole in the peak and a peak in the hole". From a few meters high to more than 20 meters high, stone peaks, stone pillars, rocks and cliffs are all shaped by the "masters of art" of nature. In particular, peaks, columns, walls, as well as many ditch marks, sculptures and other prominent pictures formed by nature constitute a delicate and beautiful three-dimensional landscape pattern or animal and plant images.

Scattered caves are deeply hidden in stone peaks, and holes are scattered among slopes. The distribution of holes is large holes with small holes, and the front holes are connected with the back holes, mostly with star arches and pearl centers. No one knows how many holes it has, nor how deep and far it is! For example, the bottomless pit is unfathomable and has not been fully developed.

Dingguang Cave is located at the northern end of Shifengzhai. The hanging wall outside the cave is steep and overgrown with shrubs. The mouth of the cave is two meters high and three meters wide. The cave is divided into three layers: high, middle and low. It can be reached from top to bottom and can accommodate thousands of people. There is a saying that "go up three floors, go down three floors, visit for a long time, but you can't finish three floors."

Dingguang Cave is named after a natural Buddha statue at the entrance of the cave. According to legend, it is the incarnation of Dingguang Zen Master. Further down the deep valley is the head hole, which is about 50 square meters wide and 20 meters deep, with different heights. The cave walls are steep and the ceiling is dome-shaped and uneven. There are many strange stones in the cave. I see the big hole is connected with the small hole. The famous ones are Ganoderma lucidum upside down in Ganoderma lucidum Cave, beauty bath spring in Xiandong Cave, Tianhe Waterfall, lotus upside down in snowy days, scarab pond beside Xianchi, the Monkey King Opera, Dragon Thousand Walls, Poseidon Needle and Shibi Ginseng.

Qixing Cave is at the southern end of Shifengzhai. It is said that there are seven holes in the cave with different shapes, which means the Big Dipper. The mouth of the cave is shaped like the throat of Longkou and descends along more than 20 iron pipe ladders. Standing on the edge of the cliff about two meters wide, I saw a rock protruding like a lion. Looking down the light, it is a long and circuitous deep ditch, and steep cliffs on both sides pour down like waterfalls, whispering and echoing. Because there is no equipment, we can't go deep into the bottom of the cave. According to the cloud, there are some award-winning works such as Fairy Bath, Guanyin Stone, Dragon Palace Giant Column, Han Xiangzi's Wife, and Xiantan.

Longgong Jiuqu Cave is on the left side of Qixing Cave, and large and small caves are scattered on the hillside of Shifengzhai. Big holes are like wells, vertical, ravines like halls, wide and secluded halls, cloisters in stone gaps, and twists and turns. The stone scene is like a pearl treasure, dazzling and dazzling. The most striking thing is the "treasure tree before shaking", which is full of colorful fruits and looks like emerald agate, which is very realistic. According to legend, it is the place where the Dragon King of the South China Sea hides treasures.

Xianren Cave is in the middle foot of Shifeng Village, with the entrance facing south. In the dead of winter, the snow-white stone scene shines like an ice sculpture in the sun. There is a statue of "Lv Dongbin drunk" carved in the cave, which looks like a blue sky and is called the Fairy Cave. Tiantong Cave, also known as Wangtiandong, is located at the west foot of Shifengzhai. The door of the cave is like a tent. Because it is called mosquito net rock, the entrance is dark and there is a hole at the top of the rock. It is called "skylight" and you can watch the sky. The cave walls are smooth, with unique shapes, beautiful stalactites and different shapes. Some turn to stone, and some are transparent and shiny. The exit is a round hole that looks like a full moon. You can reach the top of Shifengzhai Mountain from here. It is said that Shi Zhongyuan of Chu Shi in Quanzhou once lived and practiced here, and now it is called "Buddhist Quiet Place". Master Guanyin is enshrined in the niche, and the Buddha statue is carved with Zen master Dingguang and Zen master Khufu (Hui Kuan) in the Song Dynasty.

Fangguan Cave, a wonderful cave in Changting County, is an underground pearl in Nanshan Town. It is about 50km from Liancheng Civil Airport, 5km from Nanshan Zhongfu Railway Station and National Highway 3 19, 20km from Longchang expressway Hotan Interchange Exit and 20km from Yongan to Wuping expressway Pengkou Interchange Exit. Now the scale development conditions of Fangguan Cave in Changting County are ripe. If it can be developed once, the Fangguan Cave Group will be integrated. Guantang Cave, a wonderful cave in Changting, can also be integrated with Guanzhi Mountain, Hakka ancient houses in Peitian, Hotan Hot Springs in Changting, a street in Hotan Ancestral Temple, the ancient city wall in Tingzhou and the famous revolutionary site in Ruijin, and become a famous tourism resource belt on Gan Long Railway, which can promote the rapid development of tourism in Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. Changting Ancient City Stone: The Stone Ancient City is located in Zhongdu, an ancient city in Changting County at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi, with a distance of 1 km, Gan Long Railway Bridge in the east and Ruijin, the red capital in the west. Surrounded by tribute water in front of the door, Jinfeng Mountain in the north is shaped like a goose. According to ancient legends, this temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. He is the benefactor and Zeng Xian of Tian He in Yudukou, Jiangxi. It was built to commemorate Xu Dazhen's contribution to cleaning up the dragon with the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Despite thousands of years of wind and rain, it is still solemn and stable. Although the temple was poorly built, it was full of incense. Every August 12, the temple will hold a three-day party and ten believers will go to worship. Liansheng Temple in front of the museum: Liansheng Temple is located in Chenlian Village, Guanqian Town, Changting County. The temple covers an area of nearly 1 1,000 square meters and is located from southwest to northeast. It consists of a pond, an empty apartment, a hall and a horizontal house. There are Maitreya Buddha, eighteen arhats and other bodhisattvas in the temple. In the center of the main hall, there is a special couplet, such as "Buddha's Spirit Appears, Disciple Xie". Although the building scale of Liansheng Temple is not large, it is famous all over the world because of its long history and wide followers. According to the Chen family tree of the village, Liansheng Temple was built more than 600 years ago during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. In the early 1940s, there were more than 0/0 monks and nuns/KLOC, bells and drums were ringing, and the countryside was surrounded by four rings, with strong incense. Later, due to the "Cultural Revolution", Liansheng Temple was changed into livestock farm land. In the early 1980s, nearly 2,000 villagers and outsiders donated money to rebuild the temple, and June 18 of the lunar calendar was designated as the celebration day of the temple, praying for good weather, national prosperity and people's peace in an ancient way.
