Tourism in Gejia Town

Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Kunyu Mountain area has been densely populated and has been cultivated and studied for generations. It is a fairyland that alchemists and Taoists yearn for. Emperors such as Qi Weiwang, Qi Xuanwang, Yan Zhaowang, Qin Shihuang, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all came here to worship God and seek immortality. On the occasion of the Han and Tang Dynasties, "there are 72 peaks in the mountains, temples in the peaks and temples in the mountains." Cui Hong, a historian of the Northern Wei Dynasty, called Kunyu Mountain "the ancestor of the sea mountain" in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Sixteen Countries. Folk commonly known as "Haixian Mountain belongs to Penglai, and the ancestor of Penglai is Kunyu". Kunyu Mountain has become a famous "Fairy Mountain Holy Land" in China. 1992, the Ministry of Forestry approved Kunyu Mountain as a national forest park; 1998, approved by the provincial government as a provincial-level scenic spot. Located in the northwest of Gejia Town. As early as the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, it was known as "clear, secluded, beautiful and dangerous", with beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery and many places of interest and Taoist relics. Stone carvings such as "Tiandong" and "Blessed Land" still exist. Fiona Fang site covers an area of nearly 8 square kilometers and consists of four peaks (Shengjing Mountain, Jinxiu Mountain, Zijin Peak and Bai Yunfeng), Eryan, Er 'an (Qi Yu Temple and Jiangshi Temple), Erjian, Dong Si, Eleven Springs and Ertai. The main peak is 385 meters above sea level. There are Longwang Temple, Miao Shan Temple, Fengliangdong Temple, Hunyuan Temple, Chaoyang Cave, Zhongxian Tomb and other temples. There are also natural landscapes such as sunset hump, smiling face of birthday girl, old mother's godson, golden toad learning from the scriptures, golden rooster announcing the dawn, holy spring and divine water.

The natural head of Laozi is located on the Shanxi ridge of the Bible. There is a boulder on the Bible Mountain, commonly known as "the face of longevity", which looks like the natural head of Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism. There is a legend among the local people that "climb the Zijinfeng Mountain and face the eternal life, and everything will pass". If you look at it from another angle in the parking lot of Shengjing Mountain, it will become the head of another natural landscape "sunset hump" in Shengjing Mountain. Legend has it that this natural portrait of Laozi is the magic weapon for Wang Changsheng, the founder of Quanzhen Sect.

According to legend, when Wang was practicing Buddhism in Zijinfeng, he went through hardships and suffered day and night. He only learned a little fur, but he could not understand the essence of Taoism, which was very distressing. But he insisted, day after day, year after year, doggedly practicing hard. This perseverance touched the mountain god, who reported it to the Jade Emperor. So the Jade Emperor sent the old gentleman to Zijinfeng for face-to-face instruction with the image of the birthday boy. Shou Xingtu was carved on the ridge of the Bible. As long as he practices against Shou Xingtu every day, he can become an immortal. Just after the old gentleman carved the face of the birthday boy, the bell of heaven rang. The old gentleman had something urgent to deal with, so he had to bid farewell to the king and return to heaven. So people can only see the kind face of the old birthday girl today. Located 2 kilometers south of Shengjing Mountain, the main peak is 257 meters above sea level. The mountain is steep and peculiar, so it is named because it looks like the "Zijin Crown" worn by ancient emperors. There are ancient buildings such as Jade Emperor Pavilion, Donghua Cave, Tianmen and Donghua Palace. There are natural landscapes such as "sewer line", "Zijin crown" and "official worship of immortal stone". Near Bai Yunfeng, there are sites such as Qi Yu Temple and Jiuyangchi.

There is a valley called "Trench" at the top of Zijin Peak, which is cut in half. The "gutter" is about 50 meters long and 1 meter wide. From the steep wall of the gutter, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of "one line of sky", and there are huge stones hanging between the two walls, which adds to the strange danger of the gutter. According to legend, this ditch is the landscape left by the Queen Mother and her daughter when they bid farewell to heaven.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor chartered the Empress Dowager to take her daughters to the "footbath" behind the Wuran Temple in Kunyu Mountain every year, and each daughter was only allowed to follow her mother to the mortal world once in turn. When the youngest daughter reached the age of 18, she was tired of the lonely and boring life in the heavenly palace and always wanted to go to earth with her mother again. Unfortunately, the rules of heaven are strict, and the queen mother dare not bring her daughter down to earth. To this end, the younger daughter can't afford to get sick. Although many people seek medical treatment and try their best to adjust treatment, the condition is getting worse and worse. One day, after driving away a physician, she said to the Queen Mother, "There is no doctor in the Heavenly Palace and no medicine can cure my illness. I must die! " Hearing this, the Queen Mother suddenly realized that I had this disease in those days, but Lv Dongbin took me to the footbath of Wuran Temple in Kunyu Mountain and cured me after taking a shower.

The queen mother took her daughter down from Kunyu Mountain without telling the Jade Emperor, and told her, "Don't make public, start at dawn and get back to heaven before the cock crows." On the first day of that day, the Queen Mother and her daughter descended to earth and went straight to Kunyu Mountain. After washing the foot bath, the fairy suddenly felt that all the diseases had been eliminated and she became as light as a swallow. So the mother and daughter played in the mountains. They bypassed the top of Taber Mountain and came to Shengjing Mountain. In front of the crescent stone, the little fairy read the Tao Te Ching. Because it was late, the queen mother urged her, and the more she read, the more interested she became, so she read aloud. In desperation, the Queen Mother turned and shouted, "Come and see, there is a Tian Tong Road on Zijin Peak!" After reading the Bible, the little fairy hurried to catch up with her mother and came to Zijin Peak halfway up the mountain. Sure enough, a ladder goes straight to Zijinfeng. Mother and daughter boarded the ladder, relaxed and happy, surrounded by picturesque scenery, deep forests and beautiful mountains and waters, and could not help but sigh: "Wonderland is actually on earth!" At this time, the queen mother looked at the court and said, "It's time!" Take your daughter away. The little fairy lingered, broke away from her mother and went back to the top of the mountain to see the scenery. The Queen Mother pulled the Hosta from her head and drew a ravine to separate her daughter's path. Who knows, in my panic, I separated myself from my daughter on both sides of the ravine. The queen mother quickly erected a cloud bridge and greeted her daughter in the air: "cross the bridge quickly and go back to heaven." Just when the little fairy came to the bridge, the cock crowed at dawn. She couldn't walk any further, so she had to watch her mother float to the sky and stay on the Zijin Peak with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. Tao Te Ching, written by Grandfather Taishang of Kunyu Mountain, is the largest cliff stone carving in Taoism and is now listed as a national key protected cultural relic.

Qiu Chuji is the most famous of the seven Taoist Quanzhen sons. In the winter of the third year of Jin Xingding (12 19), at the invitation of Genghis Khan, Qiu Chuji led 18 disciples at the age of 7/kloc-0, which lasted for three years, and traveled from Kunyu Mountain to the Great Snow Mountain in the western regions (in today's Kush Mountain in Fengdu, India)/kloc-0. In the 19th year of Yuan Taizu (1224), Qiu Chuji came to Dadu (Beijing) and moved to Tianchang Temple (now Baiyun Temple). He was appointed to be in charge of Taoism in the world and was named "the Emperor's Father". Qiu Chuji used this identity to eliminate ethnic barriers, released more than 30,000 enslaved Han Chinese and Jurchen people, rescued a large number of Han Chinese scholars, and pushed Taoism and Quanzhen School in China to a peak. Since then, Kunyu Mountain, where Qiu Chuji once practiced, has been overhauled, with Taoist disciples gathered, governors worshiped, emperors closed their temples, and incense flourished.

In May, 199 1, more than 40 people from China Taoist Association, China Tourism Culture Society, Beijing Historical Geography Folklore Society and Taoist scholars at home and abroad1held a seminar in Wendeng, and Kunyu Mountain was recognized as "the birthplace of Taoism Quanzhen School in China". Located in Yuandong Village, Ge Jia Town. Luan Zhongyu, a scholar of Supreme Mindfulness in Yuan Dynasty, was born in Zhendong Village, Ge Jia. There was a temple in the village of Yuan Dynasty, now called "Yuan east temple", formerly known as Dasheng Temple and Sheng Da Hospital. The village is named after being located to the east of the holy water source. This ancient temple was built in Zheng Zheng for two years (1342). The inscription was written by a monk in Changyang, and the scholar Luan Zhongyu wrote Dan, with the seal of "Rebuilding the Great Sage Temple Monument". According to this, the six books of Jin Shi Luan Zhongyu are good at seal cutting. This monument is unreadable, and its remnants say, "The meritorious service of the Academy cannot be tested. In the first year of Song Yuanfeng, the Great Monument was rebuilt and an ancient temple was built. " Later, the Song tablet no longer exists, but the Yuan tablet still exists. In the 30th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (169 1), he presided over the restoration of monk Pubo, and Wendeng wrote an article for Jinshi Cong Dawei, serving as an official book Dan. In the late Qing dynasty, it almost peeled off, and the Guangxu edition of Wendeng County Annals has inscriptions.
