Poetic Dwelling —— Life Strategy of Xinchang

Xinchang, known as Shan County in ancient times, is also known as Shicheng. It is a small county in eastern Zhejiang, but it is also an indelible place in cultural history. From the prehistoric ruins of Lan Yan to the secluded place of eighteen martial men, literati competed to come; From the gate of Tiantai Mountain to Dunhuang, the largest Buddha in the south of the Yangtze River, the holy land of Sansheng, pilgrims reverently worship; From Zen tea philosophy to China tea market, the giant Buddha Longjing incense is in Wan Li.

In Xinchang, a small town embraced by Siming Mountain Range, Tiantai Mountain Range and Kuocang Mountain Range, you walk slowly, forget your troubles and live poetically.

1. Arrive in Xinchang (Shengzhou)-there are only cars at present. Hangzhou Passenger Transport Center (1 10min) and Ningbo Passenger Transport Center (77min) have direct buses, and the departure frequency of both stations is about 30min!

2. Xinchang-Xinchang Scenic Area is mainly three core scenic spots, namely, the Great Buddha Temple, Tianmu Mountain in Wozhou and the Nineteen Peak in Chuanyan.

"Monks pass through the hidden temples of Mount Fuji, and tourists can see the world." Xinchang Buddhist Temple is hidden in the mountains surrounded by cliffs of Shicheng Mountain and deep in Nanmingshan Canyon. All the way in, and turned to see, green trees and red flowers everywhere, green mountains and valleys, rugged rocks, winding caves surrounded by four rings, ponds as bright as mirrors, paved roads, towering old trees, pleasant scenery, like a unique garden.

A scenic spot full of human feelings

? Of course, the first one is the aura of heaven and earth, the first Buddha in Jiangnan with a thousand-year incense. During the Qi and Liang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties, it took three generations of eminent monks to complete the grotto sculpture. According to legend, when Hu meditated, he saw the sudden golden light on the rock wall, so he made a big wish to make a statue. After three generations, he finally became Dunhuang in Yue State.

According to records, in 486 AD, monk Hu came to Shicheng and saw dozens of high-ranking disciples cutting the blue wall of the rock, and the water was jingling under the rock wall. If you smell the strings, you won't feel Tommy, kneel on the ground and make a big wish of "making Maitreya Buddha, imitating a thousand feet". After that, he raised funds everywhere and made careful preparations. Ten years later, he officially started working. However, a year after the operation, he was exhausted and fell ill only when he chiseled a relief facial contour. On his deathbed, he said to his disciple monk Chu, "I didn't expect to make what I made in this life, but regeneration should be my ambition." After the monk protected the garden, the monk continued to carve. Although I stayed up all night, it was difficult to continue because of the arduous project and lack of funds. In the sixth year of Tian Jian (507), Liang Wudi and Jian 'an Wang Xiaowei gave their full support and sent monks to design and direct the construction. Monks were the first-class masters of architecture and sculpture at that time. Before the completion of the Giant Buddha, funds and talents were guaranteed. Known as the "Three Saints of San Ji"

The height of the Stone Mile Buddha is 1.9 1 m, the height of the Buddha is 13.74 m, the head height is 4.87 m, the ear length is 2.8 m, the mouth width is 1.28 m, and the distance between the knees is10.6m. The bones of the Buddha are clear. Careful observation makes people feel completely calm and deep in artistic conception. The proportion of each part of the Buddha statue uses the perspective principle, and the head is deliberately enlarged, so that the viewer can be enlightened and baptized when looking up at the Buddha's face, but at the same time, we must grasp the scale of enlargement and don't feel that the proportion is out of balance. This is an amazing creation that was handled so well 1500 years ago. Giant Buddha was a great creation of art and religion at that time, representing the highest level of craftsmanship at that time. The age and value of the statue can be compared with Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, which is the only great achievement of China's early grottoes in the south. Liu Xie, a famous literary theorist in the Southern Dynasties, wrote the record of "Stone Monument of Shicheng Temple built by King Liang Jian 'an", which is known as "unparalleled treasure and unparalleled career".

Xinchang people are happy. When they are tired of life, they can plunge into Buddhist temples, slow down their lives and have a taste.

? In addition, there are thousands of Buddhist temples and open-air giant buddhas in the Great Buddha Temple.

There are Nanyan Temple (free of charge), Pan Qi Fairy Valley and Tianzhu Lake around the Big Buddha Temple.

Knowing the desire to return to autonomy, I am disappointed. Life is like mail, and I've done almost everything I'm proud of. All day, I was worried and disappointed. I just want you to talk to me. One day is a thousand years. Xie An in The Book with Zhi Dun

Luozhou Mountain is the Dojo of Zhi Dun, a famous monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is a story about buying mountains, raising horses and setting cranes free.

Xie Lingyun took the first road to stay at the seaside. Xie Gongyi is ok, and Li Bai sings "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream"

On a straight line leading to heaven, its peak enters heaven, topped with five sacred peaks, and casts a shadow across China. The Paradise Terrace Mountains are 100 miles long, and it is here that they begin to extend to the southeast. -Tang Li Bai's "Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream"

In the past, the legend of the Queen Mother of the West was handed down from generation to generation. Now, the new rural construction has a new look.

The grass and trees of Tianmu Mountain converge into a poem; Her beautiful day, all year round, has poured into the unique feelings of Xinchang people.

The Beidou tip of Tianmu Mountain is the highest peak of this mountain. Tip: You can drive up the mountain with Panshan Highway. However, it is recommended to climb from Banzhu Village and go down from Dongshan in Tianmu Ancient Tea Village, which has a special taste.

Water curtain cave, Sanshiliu, Maoyang Ancient Village and Nanshan Village (boxing and lion dance) are also the core areas of Tianmu in Wozhou.

Legend of Rock-piercing Nineteen Peaks:

According to legend, ancient Dayu managed water to Jingling Mountain. In a sea of Wang Yang, he cut a hole in a mountain peak and tied up the boat, which is now the cable car peak.

Since Dayu's flood control, the floods in Jingling and Chengtan have been eliminated, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. However, the good times did not last long. A python appeared on the mountain to the east of Jingling, often harassing local people. At this time, a new daughter-in-law "Bride Peak" who married Jingling from the suburbs of the county tried to fight with the python. Every day, she made some steamed cakes, lit incense sticks, and rushed to the Buddhist temple to pray for the two bodhisattvas, Manjusri Peak and Puxian Peak, Pu Xian, and came to Jingling to wave the flag and call out the "Pan Qifeng" in the rear to wipe out the python and kill the people. The piety of the new wife finally touched the Bodhisattva. Manjusri and Pu Xian rode white elephants and lions to the Lion Peak, and came to Jingling with the gods wearing "hills", waving flags, drumming, ringing bells "falling" and playing, and invited the Sizhou Bodhisattva "Sizhou Peak". At this moment, the boa constrictor trembled with fear and desperately begged the bodhisattva for mercy. So the Bodhisattva was merciful and ordered the boa constrictor to turn into a sword, Zhuo Jianfeng, turn evil into good, learn from Bi Jiafeng, and stand on the top of the mountain for a long time to maintain peace. This peak is the smallest of 19 peaks. At the same time, God was ordered to ride a good horse from the headland and go to Huangyan to buy rice and transport grain to help the people in Jingling and Chengtan, so there is a saying that "Huangyan is ripe and Xinchang is full". However, after a long time, there were gangsters grabbing food on the way from Huangyan to Xinchang. God will fight gangsters, and gangsters will be punished by God. Because the gangster is lazy, God will punish him for starving forever. In the fight, God's good horse was also stabbed by gangsters, and the saddle was moved to the saddle peak. There was a gap under the saddle, which is now the "cave crossing". At the entrance of the cave, you can see the Wanghaishan Mountain, which is the highest peak of 19 rock crossing peaks, with an altitude of 400 meters. Finally, the python was punished and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

There are Qianzu Valley and Chongyang Palace nearby. A little further, there is grandma's pit in Jiangnan ethnic village. I have to say one thing: Xinchang county government built a glass plank road in order to revitalize the tourism of 19th Peak, and renamed Zhang Qian Valley loong Valley, which was really a failure and ugly. Lost the aesthetic feeling. In addition, it has to be said that the road construction in Xinchang lacks long-term vision (whether in urban areas or towns)

Tips: Don't go to 19 peak on holidays, the infrastructure is not perfect enough, and the roads are easily congested.

There are natural and cultural landscapes such as the hometown of Zhenwan, Xikeng Wood Fossil Park, Dunshan Town (to be built) and Daoboots nearby.
