What's interesting about Lake Biwa in Japan? What are the scenic spots in Biwa Lake?

Lake Biwa in Japan, surrounded by mountains, is the largest freshwater lake in Japan. The scenery around the lake is also a must. Every household in Biwahu raises fish, but they raise fish not for eating, but to keep the water clear. Curious friends, I present my strategy with both hands.

Because my company has a company in Japan, I am looking forward to Japan. With my expectation, I finally got this trip to Japan.

I flew directly from Hong Kong to Kansai Airport, and the flight time was about 4 hours. I am a child who is curious about everything. During the four-hour flight, I didn't sleep at all and enjoyed the scenery all the way.

The sky on the plane is beautiful. How can you be sleepy?

It was already 9 pm Japan time when I got off the plane. I made a reservation at a hotel in Shiga Prefecture. As soon as I got out of the airport, the hotel car was waiting for us outside the airport. Let's go to the central area of Kyoto to eat the most authentic Japanese Lamian Noodles.

This is the car to pick us up. It can seat seven people. Because of the luggage, it is just right to take seven people.

It's already ten o'clock in the evening in this noodle restaurant called Caihuating. They are all guests and friends, and they have to wait for the table. Fortunately, we have a hotel reserved a table for us, so we can order it immediately when we arrive at the store. It's delicious. I even finished my noodle soup.

After dinner, the hotel car will take us to the hotel immediately. It takes about one and a half hours from Kyoto to Shiga County. Because the hotel I found online was booked directly by telephone, I didn't expect such thoughtful service. Wait for us at the airport and help us book the small restaurant I found online. It's really a surprise. I was even more surprised when I arrived at the hotel. I thought it was just a small house, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful.

Hotel appearance

This is the front desk on the first floor. Do you feel at home?

The water in the Needle River is very famous, so the water in this hotel doesn't need tap water, but the water in the Needle River (a natural underground water source) tastes sweet.

The next day, we got up early and went to the hotel before breakfast (there is a breakfast hotel that we have booked, so don't worry).

The back garden of the hotel is very high and there are many fish in it. The people in the hotel said that every household here raises fish, which can purify the water source and pass it on from generation to generation.

The water is so clear.

The air is good in the morning, and breathing the air here feels very energetic. I walked around the backyard and felt very hungry. This hotel has a restaurant, and we are all satisfied with this hotel. The staff here are really friendly, unlike ordinary cities. Although the service is polite, there is a sense of distance. The staff here give us a sense of family. They are very friendly and kind, not at all. Maybe few people come here from China to play. They were curious about us, talked to us for a long time, and enthusiastically introduced us to many local things. One of them is a lovely Japanese girl who can speak a few Chinese and has been to China and Guangzhou several times. We were surprised and talked to her a lot. I introduced her to many famous scenic spots in Guangzhou, and then she even had WeChat. She said that she has some friends in Shanghai, and they often use it. As he talked, he forgot the breakfast time.

The girl told us that all the food here is grown by local farmers and produced here. Very fresh. Go to the nearby villagers' house to collect eggs at six every morning. Beat it directly on the rice and eat it raw. To tell the truth, I absolutely dare not eat like this in China, for fear of stomach upset. I tried to eat according to the method introduced by the girl. It's really sweet, slippery and has no fishy smell at all (fish are also raised in the lake here). It needs to be pickled in advance and then fried. I ate too much breakfast, so I have to clean up anyway. Very delicious.

Have time to visit this restaurant after dinner. The decoration is really good.

In the restaurant, you can choose to sit on the tatami or on the dining table over there.

The wine is brewed by the hotel's own winery, but the rice and water here are used. Be sure to try it tonight.

The design of this restaurant is very special. The fish is swimming under the table.

All water can be drunk directly. Let me have a try. This water must be very sweet. This process of drinking water is really enjoyable.

In addition to the restaurant, there is a clothing store on the first floor of the hotel, which displays all kinds of lovely games and is very attractive.

It was so attractive that I took many photos. I feel that I can stay in this hotel for a day, but I won't be willing to be trapped in this interesting place. Today, we will walk in the village and learn about the cultural heritage here. Know more people and things.

Walking around the village, I saw all the buildings with Japanese characteristics, unlike Kyoto, which has been urbanized. I met an old woman on the road. She said that all her children are working outside and seldom go back to the village. Although we don't know her very well, she speaks enthusiastically (because she speaks very rustic rural Japanese) and is very kind.

These aquatic plants are very delicate and can't survive without any pollution, so as long as you see these grasses, you can drink water with confidence.

This is a kind of fish that purifies water. Every household will have a fish pond. Some fish can be raised to 30 to 40 kilograms. The fish in this family are very big. The host also warmly invited us to go in and have a look. We were surprised when we saw it. The fish in it is very big. The owner said they wouldn't kill fish, but kept it this way to purify the water.

This village is not big, but it is ok to visit it for a day. For lunch, we eat our own bread and find a yard in the village. The environment is good, the air is good, and eating bread is good, haha! The village has not been developed into a tourist area, so there will be no snacks. But the beautiful scenery attracted us to explore, so we decided not to go back to the hotel for lunch. Let's go shopping until five o'clock in the afternoon and then go back to the hotel for dinner.

There are many dishes to choose from, but it is difficult to decide what to eat because there are too many choices. Finally, we decided to order the dishes made by Pipa Lake catfish and the Zhenjiang specialties recommended by the staff. Of course, beer and sake are necessary, really delicious, and the rhythm of liquidation. Tofu is very special, completely different from what we usually eat. Smooth and tender. I really want to take it away. Unfortunately, the staff said no.

Wash and sleep after dinner (don't talk about my pig's rhythm, because there is no nightlife in the village and you can't make trouble at night. Special statement of the staff on the day of check-in). I want to leave the quality of our country people in this village.

This hotel has a big bathtub for bathing. The bathroom is big and clean, and the hot water is very hot. It's cool, and all the fatigue seems to have disappeared. I took these photos after asking my boss, because taking photos in Japan is very sensitive, especially in the bathroom.

In the morning, we simply ate a rice ball and set off for the next place.

The quiet night by the lake reminds me of the Japanese literary masterpiece The Tale of Genji.

Shiga's friend told me that 1000 years ago, Murasaki shikibu lived in Shishan Temple, not far from the lake, where she wrote the Japanese historical scroll "Tale of Genji". The beautiful scenery of Lake Biwa ignited her creative inspiration, the bright moon picked candles for talented women, and the lake light polished the manuscript. You see, the scenery near Lake Biwa is so beautiful and moving in Haruki Murakami's delicate pen: "The faint autumn lies in its unspeakable interest." The treetops by the lake and the grass by the canal are dotted with yellow stars, and the evening sky is particularly bright and deep in the sunset glow. The wind in the evening is getting colder and colder, the night is getting thicker and darker. It is difficult to distinguish the gurgling sound of canal water from the chanting sound all night. "No wonder people in Shiga County proudly say that Lake Biwa is the inspiration for this magnificent masterpiece. Yes, Lake Biwa in Haruki Murakami's eyes has become an inseparable part of Japanese culture, which always touches people's heartstrings.

055-79000 is the earliest novel in the history of Japanese literature and the first novel in the history of world literature. Written in the fifth year of Heian (A.D. 1008), the Tale of Genji was called in Japan, but it was more than seven centuries earlier than A Dream of Red Mansions. The book has 54 chapters and nearly a million words. This masterpiece truly reflects the aristocratic life in heian period, Japan, and combines the spirit of realism with lyrical style to become the peak of the story of the dynasty, which has a far-reaching impact on later literature. It also made Murasaki shikibu immortal in the history of Japanese literature, and in 1964, he was selected as one of the "five great men in the world" by UNESCO, enjoying a world-famous reputation in the literary world.

The era of 755-79000 was the heyday of the aristocratic society of the Ping 'an Dynasty. At that time, most of the upper-class nobles handed over their official duties to middle-and lower-class officials. Even if he was appointed as a local governor (the guardian of neighboring countries), he did not hold any position. The actual affairs are handled by "acting officials", which is beyond the reach of Ping An Beijing. With the privilege, they enjoy themselves. On the surface, it is triumphant and prosperous, but in fact it is full of complex and sharp contradictions. Fujiwara, a consort of the royal family, dominated the politics of caring for customs, monopolized the imperial platform and expanded the manor, but there were also cases of intrigue and power struggle between families. Relying on the big temple, the royal family set up the imperial "imperial government" to compete with it. Although the middle and lower class aristocrats are talented and capable, it is difficult to get promotion opportunities, so they have to find another way out, leading to the rapid rise of local forces. The majority of manor owners could not bear the oppression and exploitation of the lords, and repeatedly resisted, one after another, and armed riots broke out many times. It can be said that the whole society is in crisis, "it has reached its peak and declined."

According to historical records, the matriarchal family system is still an important feature of Japanese society in heian period. In order to gain or maintain the status of royal consorts, the nobles made their daughters more talented and excellent at all costs, thus creating many women with great cultural talents. Japanese culture in this period is inevitably engraved with obvious traces of "women". Murasaki shikibu is one of the outstanding representatives.

Murasaki shikibu was born into a middle-class aristocratic family. This surname is Fujiwara. According to unofficial history's records, it was originally named Xiangzi. After becoming a female official in the palace, she was named Teng family after her father's official position according to fashion. Later, because the heroine from 0755 to 79000 was praised by the world, it was renamed Zi. His great-grandfather served as Zhong and was one of the lead singers of A Dream of Red Mansions. His father Fujiwara was the first minister, and later fell out of favor and became a local official like Yue Qianshou. He is proficient in China's classical literature and a master of China's poetry and chorus. He often invites the prince to poetry parties. Murasaki, who was born in a scholarly family, was brilliant and gifted from an early age. Her brother learns Chinese from his father. She listens, but usually understands first. Influenced by her family style, she has read China classics collected at home, especially Bai Juyi's poems. She has profound attainments in China literature, and has a lot of research on Buddhism, music, fine arts and costumes.

Since ancient times, beauty is short-lived. Murasaki shikibu, a talented woman, had a very unhappy life. In the mood for love, she married Hiroshi Fujiwara, 26 years older than herself. Shi Hao is also a local official, serving as a guard in front of the building. After marriage, she gave birth to a daughter, a fairy. But after less than three years of marriage, her husband contracted an epidemic and died. From then on, Murasaki shikibu became a widow in her prime and lived a lonely life. She wrote many songs, including this poem: "My body and my heart hardly correspond, but I can't fully understand them." Revealing his loneliness, pain, sadness and despair.

In the second year of Kuanhong, Fujiwara, then Minister of Zheng Tai, was appointed as Minister of Imperial Palace by the emperor. Therefore, Fujiwara called all the talented women into the palace and served Zhang Zi as a female official in the palace. Murasaki shikibu, so is he.

In the palace, Murasaki has the opportunity to see more books and exquisite works of art in the palace and directly observe the life in the inner palace. We have a comprehensive, in-depth and emotional understanding of the rise and fall of imperial power, the tyranny of powerful people, the inside story of court intrigue and the unfortunate experiences of women. Such an intelligent and sensitive talented woman, of course, has a deep feeling for the insurmountable contradiction and declining trend inherent in aristocratic society. Therefore, she vaguely felt uneasy, depressed and helpless, so she sang to express her feelings and revealed her chaotic and helpless thoughts after entering the palace.

Staring at the middle reaches of the waterfowl pond,

I am as smooth as a duck in the world.

Alone, I'm in pain,

Living in a palace is confusing.

The long experience of court life, especially the spiritual purgatory of contemporary women's love and marriage, has accumulated a solid foundation for her literary creation, and with her profound literary accomplishment, she has been nourished by the beautiful scenery of Biwa Lake and inspired her writing passion. Even though jealousy leads to gossip, she is still passionate. She wrote in the Tale of Genji in June 5438 +065438+2005 10: "I was ordered to enter the palace, and I was constantly busy preparing, so I couldn't calm down. Make pamphlets for nobles, serve the palace at dawn, select all kinds of papers and story books, write down requirements, copy them day and night, and organize them into books. The palace gave me goose skin paper, pen and ink, and even an inkstone. Unfortunately, there have been many criticisms accusing them of saying,' What books do you write to serve the palace?' Nevertheless, Nakamiya continued to give me pen and ink. "

Murasaki shikibu advocated that literature should be authentic and know the world. 055-79000 embodies her "real" literary view. The content of the novel, whether it is the social, political and cultural background, or the plot and character description, truly reflects the reality of court life and aristocratic society at that time, and the shadow and character prototype of aristocratic life can be found. Haruki Murakami himself said: "It's all true facts, not external comments." In my opinion, Tale of Genji is not a superficial romance novel, but a precious cultural historical material, including social, political, economic and customs historical materials. Reading this story today is like going through simple sightseeing and coming to the ancient city of Kyoto near Lake Biwako in peacetime more than 1000 years ago.

After reading the book History of Japanese Literature edited by Ji Xianlin, the book commented that the theme of later essays and song collections can be interpreted as "mourning for things", that is, "heartfelt feelings", which includes feelings such as appreciation, love, singing, sympathy, sadness, sadness and depression. It is not the chanting of flowers and birds by ordinary literati, nor the groaning of self-pity, but a complex psychological process in which personal destiny is intertwined with various contradictions in the real society. Haruki Murakami's expression of "mourning for things" through Japanese Ji is mainly reflected in three levels. One is the sadness that touches people, especially the relationship between men and women. Second, touching the world runs through the singing world; Third, the attraction to natural beauty, especially the impermanence brought by seasonal changes.

I quite agree with this statement. Objectively speaking, Haruki Murakami, based on "truth" and using the artistic expression of "mourning for things" in Japanese traditional aesthetics, reveals the historical trend of the rise and fall of aristocratic society and alludes to the decadent life and atmosphere of aristocratic society in the Heian Dynasty. In the diary of the purple department, Yasunari Kawabata has a wonderful saying: "Genji's story concentrated the beauty of the dynasty at that time, and later formed the tradition of Japanese beauty." When I was a child, I said that The Tale of Genji destroyed Fujiwara, Shiping, Beijin, Ashikaga and Tokugawa. These words sound rude, but they are not completely unfounded. If court life is as familiar as The Tale of Genji, then decline is inevitable. The word' familiarity' contains signs of decline. " "Throughout ancient and modern times, almost all the highest artistic masterpieces in the East and West have appeared in this dangerous period. This is the fate of art and the fate of culture. " Another Japanese scholar, Seiichiro Kamei, put it more clearly: In a sense, The Tale of Genji is a "morbid part" of a mature dynasty. The golden period from Taoist Fujiwara to Lai Tong's political career can also be said to be the peak of Fujiwara's family's glory. People who read this story will undoubtedly feel in their hearts that its glory has begun to corrupt from within and gradually collapse. At the same time, I should feel my own collapse.

According to "The Beauty of Japanese Literature", Murasaki once read a part of the manuscript to an emperor and Zhang Zi in the palace, which was greatly appreciated by the emperor, so the men in the palace also circulated it to each other and got favorable comments. Even Zhang Zi's father, Taoist Fujiwara, mobilized many people to help her write the manuscript. Therefore, Murasaki shikibu wrote The Tale of Genji, which was praised by the Emperor, supported by the Palace and even helped by the Regent of Zheng Tai. Writing here, I can't help but sigh. Fortunately, the Japanese who are good at learning have not learned to promote the literary genre at that time, so that this highly realistic literary masterpiece, together with its author, has not suffered the misfortune of burning books and burying Confucianism. Otherwise, the transition of ancient Japanese culture from "tang style era" to "national style era" will be delayed, and the history of Japanese literature and aesthetics will be rewritten.

After reading The Tale of Genji, we can feel the ubiquitous Buddhist thoughts and aesthetics in the book. A thousand years later, we can still feel the strong traces of Japanese Buddhism while wandering around Lake Biwa.

In the afternoon, I visited Mitsui Temple, which is famous for its "Mitsui Night Bell", one of the eight scenic spots in Biwahu Lake. Mitsui Temple, formerly known as Anzuo Temple, was once called Mitsui Temple, sometimes called Yujing Temple, because its "Mitsui" was the spiritual spring used to supply water to the three emperors Ye Tianzhi, Tian Wu and Tongzhi in the second half of the bird period.

The period of Japanese birds happened to be the Sui and Tang Dynasties in China. Due to the vigorous implementation of Shoto Kutaishi's regency period, China's Buddhist culture continued to flow into Japan, forming a bird culture represented by Buddhist culture. With the prosperity of Buddhist temples, sculpture, painting, Buddha carving and other arts have also developed, and temples have become the "Expo" of mainland culture and popular art, thus giving birth to a temple architectural culture completely different from ordinary people's humble huts. Japanese art historian Kenji Kuno commented that Japanese sculptures in the 7th and 8th centuries are the epitome of China's sculpture history from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Emperor Tianzhi, that is, he learned to imitate the state ruling system of the Tang Dynasty, and realized the famous "great change and new change" by relying on the "returnees" who studied in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was this Emperor Tianzhi who moved the capital to Kinki, Edo, and formulated the first written code "Tale of Genji" in Japan. Looking at Japanese history, it is a turning point of ancient Japan with China as its highest ideal (just as the Meiji Restoration took westernization as its highest ideal). It is the beginning of Japan's entry into feudal society and the establishment of a unified and centralized country, and it is also the beginning of Japan's transformation from weak to strong. Tsunami Emperor is the third female emperor in Japan, who married Emperor Tianwu. The first female emperor, Emperor Tuigu, was the niece of big noble Su Yima, who actively introduced and believed in Buddhism.

Walking into Mitsui Temple, while feeling the Buddhist atmosphere, I deeply felt Japan's emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage. There are more than 20 temple buildings in the temple, of which more than a dozen are listed as important cultural heritages such as national treasures. We carefully visited the Golden Hall of National Treasure, which was rebuilt in 1599 and is one of the representative buildings of Taochuan culture. We visited Mitsui Lingquan in Akai Building, and our accompanying teacher, Mr. Zuo Yan Matsui, led us to the Bell Tower and Zhong Ling Hall to explore the mystery of Mitsui Temple culture. Sasuke Matsui is an old friend of Hunan people. He has visited China many times and has done a lot for Japan-China friendship. He introduced us to the legend of Zhong Ling and the story of Mitsui Night Bell.

Sanjing Temple, located at the southern foot of Xishan Mountain, was built by Yuan Zhen, a famous monk of Tiantai Sect, in the first year of Zhenguan (859). This was originally the courtyard of Liyan Temple. When Liang Yuan, the legal system of Tiantai Sect in Ren Yuan, was appointed as the 18th floor of Birui Liyan Temple, Qing Yu, who was instructed by Yuan Zhen, led the monks to retreat to Sanjing Temple and set up another legislative building, thus forming a situation in which the gate of the temple was contended with the gate of the temple. Mitsui Temple has since become the main mountain of Tiantai Temple School. According to legend, during the Chengping period, Tawala Tengtaixiu, a samurai living in Otsu, shot the centipede essence who came to rob the dragon lady for the dragon of Biwa Lake. The dragon took this clock as a gift, and Tawala Tengtaixiu Township donated it to Mitsui Temple for worship. Whenever something auspicious happens, the bell will ring by itself. If there is a disaster, the bell will sweat, but it will not ring. After the bell rang in people's memory for more than 300 years, Mitsui Temple was devastated. The celebration of Mount Xi 'ai relied on a large number of troops, led monks and soldiers to the door, burned and looted, and robbed Zhong Ling of climbing the mountain. The clock was heavy, and in the process of dragging it, a lug was broken. To celebrate the victory of this clan dispute, Hua Qing hung the bell in the lecture hall on the mountain, but when the bell rang, her voice became hoarse. As soon as the monks heard that it was not the original beautiful timbre and thought it was unlucky, they angrily pushed the clock down the valley. The exquisite clock is broken. Later, the monks of Mitsui Temple took Zhong Ling back and built a Zhong Ling Hall to protect it from impact. Now it has become the national treasure of Zhensi. In the long years, Mitsui Temple was destroyed by war several times. In the first year of Leuven (1592), shortly after reunification, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the restoration and reconstruction of Mitsui Temple. After Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Chen Fengjia asked the abbot of Mitsui Temple to cast the present Brahma clock. From then on, whether on New Year's Eve or at dusk on weekdays, the deep and distant bells of Mitsui Temple have brought a lasting solemn and harmonious beauty to Biwa Lake. It was chosen as one of the three famous Ming bells in Japan, which is as famous as the bells of Byodoin Temple and Jingoji Temple.

Speaking of Mitsui Temple, Hiei Mountain must be mentioned. To understand Japanese Buddhism, we must understand Hiei Mountain.

Rishan is a Buddhist resort in Japan and has been a mountain of Buddhist practice since the Nara era. At that time, when Fujiwara Nakama (AD 706-764) climbed Mount Birui in Linjiang, he wrote a poem about willow trees, including "Bi Rui is the mountain of Linjiang" and "The main hall is facing the sky, and the Brahma bell enters the wind", describing the majestic stupas in the sutra depository and the quiet and graceful bells in the white sails. In four years (AD 785), after being ordained at the Dodo Temple in Nara, the Japanese monk Zuyi pursued strict Buddhist practice, explored the teachings of Tiantai Sect, and went to Birui Mountain for penance. Three years later, they established the basic nave, which was dedicated to the pharmacist Buddha and was called the temple. In the twenty-third year (AD 804), Zuicheng, as a monk studying abroad, went to Tang with the sixteenth group of envoys to study Buddhism such as Tiantai Sect, Zen Sect, Mahayana Discipline and Tantric Sect. The following year, he returned to Xishan and vigorously advocated the promotion of Tiantai Sect, becoming the originator of Japanese Tiantai Fahua Sect. Tiantai Sect attracts a large number of believers because of its highly eclectic teachings. The temple he founded was named "Liyan Temple" by Emperor Emei, which established Tiantai Sect's position as Daiben Mountain in Japan.

/kloc-in the middle of the 0/5th century, there was an uprising in Japan. Muromachi shogunate has become too weak to control the situation. Celebrities from all sides (note: local warlords) ignored the existence of shogunate and imperial court, and neighboring countries and clans frequently staged farce of clan division, minister betrayal, Lord rebellion and seizing power by force, which began the "Warring States Period" in Japanese history for more than/kloc-0.00 years. Celebrities in the Warring States period were separated by armed forces, and they braved the wind and clouds, stirring up the swords and shadows of the Japanese archipelago, causing rivers of blood. Heroes emerged in troubled times, and history pushed Oda Shinbo (now Aichi Prefecture) to the center stage of the Warring States Period. The important task of reunifying Japan miraculously fell on the lucky ones.

Tian Xinchang turned out to be a little-known Lord in a remote place with a shallow foundation. His ancestors were local tyrants living in Zhangwei, from the former Yue State (now Fukui Prefecture). Tian Xin Chang was different from others since he was a child, and he is still regarded as a "big fool with tail between his legs" by teenagers. The word "idiot" in Japanese is different from the word "idiot" in Chinese, which mainly expresses the meaning of laziness, surliness and inaction. After inheriting the family knowledge, all family officials still don't like Nobuyuki Oda. There was only one monk in Kyushu who thought, "This son has great vision and will definitely become a big shot in the future." Sure enough, it only took him seven years, and at the age of 25, he consolidated his rule within the clan and unified the whole country. In the third year of Longshan (A.D. 1560), He (now Shizuoka County), a world-famous city, was killed by a surprise beheading tactic. At that time, Imagawa Yoshimoto, the most powerful man in the world, was famous for his "Bow of the East China Sea" and created a famous war case in Japanese history, which made him famous in Japan at the age of 26. In the subsequent Battle of the MOS Rail Glacier, Nobuhiro Oda successively annexed Matsuhiro (present-day Gifu Prefecture), formed an alliance with Cheongju and entered Beijing, realizing a 20-year covenant with Tokugawa Ieyasu, fostering Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the first 15 general of Muromachi shogunate, and taking the emperor and shogunate as the masters of the world, thus starting the journey of "the world will deploy weapons" to unify Japan. By 1569, Nobuyuki Oda's troops had taken control of Feng Jingen and other economically prosperous cities, such as Horizo, Kyoto and Nara.

Lake Biwa near Jiangguo (now Shiga Prefecture) is located in central Japan and has been a land and water transportation hub since ancient times. It is a battleground for military strategists, and there is a saying that "those who are close to the river can conquer Japan". Japan's ancient temples have a lot of land and strong economic strength, so they also have their own samurai corps, and the armed guards are enough to fight against the weak court and the emerging manor lords. By the Warring States period, due to the large number of farmers' believers, the Temple Army had developed into the main armed force in Japan's separatist regions, which was bound to become a huge obstacle for Oda Nobuyuki to unify Japan. And Liyan Temple in Hiei Mountain, because of its support for Asai and asakura's allies, has repeatedly frustrated the walk and become a thorn in his side. In the second year of Yuangui (A.D. 157 1), after putting down the uprising of believers in the south of the Yangtze River, Nobunobu Oda immediately ordered the siege of Hiei Mountain, and all the buildings such as Yamakaji, Liyan Temple and Central Temple were burned down, and three or four thousand monks and believers were killed.

055-79000 commented that he was "fearless, contemptuous of authority, cruel and easy to kill, and loved art". He is a lean generation with complicated personality and behavior. He is not only a "revolutionary" who subverts the old order, a "storm boy" who unifies Japan, but also a "six-day demon king" who despises gods and buddhas and poisons his life. Flores, a Portuguese missionary, said in The Tale of Genji: "In the eyes of this Japanese, there is no God at all. He thinks he is a god. Nobunaga collects statues and Buddha statues all over the country. His purpose is not to worship these idols, but to invite these gods and buddhas to worship him. " Freud's words explained his behavior of burning mountains.

History is so absurd. Just after Maeda burned Hiei Mountain 1 1 year, AD 1582, he spent the night in Benye Temple in Kyoto on his way to the Western Expedition. Due to the rebellion of his trusted courtier Akechi Mitsuhide, he was seriously injured.

The night before I left Otsu, I walked by the Pipa Lake. The towering Prince Hotel, covered with magnificent sunset clouds, seems to have not taken off the costumes of Xiangzi's 20th wedding celebration. Lake Biwa still faces the sky, sparkling, full of hard-to-hide vicissitudes and boundless background color. I stared at Lake Biwa with solemn eyes. I only think it is a huge mirror reflecting the history of the Japanese nation. When winter goes and spring comes, hot air and cold rain constantly wipe away the gloomy and ignorant past clouds and smoke. It is a huge picture of Japanese national culture, with bells and sails at night and waves in the morning, writing thousands of words about the development of civilization year after year.
