Wutai Mountain is located in the northeast of Shanxi Province, between Wutai County and Fan Shi of Xinzhou City, 240 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan, the provincial capital.

Together with Putuo Mountain in Zhejiang, Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui, Emei Mountain in Sichuan and * * *, it is called "Four Famous Buddhist Mountains in China".

It, together with Lumbini Garden in Nepal, Rokuyan, Bodhgaya and Naga in India, is called the five Buddhist holy places in the world, or the five famous Buddhist mountains in the world.

Shanxi, where Wutai Mountain is located, is located in the Loess Plateau. There are few dry trees, and the whole world in the field of vision is khaki, which is called the golden world. Emei is very high above sea level, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow, which can be described as a world wrapped in silver; Oriental glass world is the pure land of the pharmacist Buddha, which is the abbreviation of the pharmacist Buddha's glass light Tathagata. According to Buddhist scriptures, the pharmacist Liuli Guangfo holds a medicine bowl, which can cure all kinds of diseases and nameless chronic diseases. Among the twelve wishes of the pharmacist Buddha, the most striking one is "to rid all sentient beings of diseases in order to make their body and mind happy."

"The pharmacist Buddha has two incarnations: one is the medicine tree king and the other is the wishful pearl king.

The original wish and incarnation of the pharmacist Buddha echoed the theme of "health-preserving and blessed land" in the * * * mountain tourist resort from one side.

Combined with the concept of blessed health, glass is the main building material, reflecting its exquisite characteristics and showing a crystal clear glass world.

Jiuhua Mountain has a low latitude and is not too cold. It can be visited all year round.

So is Mount Putuo, but it's best in spring when everything is thriving.

Wutai Mountain is the best in summer, and it will be very cold in other seasons.

Emei Mountain is high, and most scenic spots are high, so it is also the best place to go in summer, but the difference between the four seasons is not too big.

Wutai Mountain belongs to the northern end of Taihang Mountain system, spanning more than 500 miles in Fan Shi, Daixian, Yuanping, Dingxiang and Wutai County of Xinzhou City.

Taihuai Town in the central area is 78km away from Wutai County, 48km away from sha he, Fan Shi, 0/50km away from Xinzhou City and 240km away from Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province.

Wutai Mountain is one of the earliest developed lands on the earth.

Its gestation can be traced back to Archaean 2.6 billion years ago.

The Sinian experienced the famous "Wutai Uplift" movement and formed the most magnificent mountainous area in North China.

In Quaternary, glaciers covered Wutai Mountain, leaving precious periglacial landforms.

Wutai Mountain is a key area of national geological science research because of its complete and rich strata, especially the typical and peculiar Precambrian strata.

Most of the strata in Wutai Mountain are named after the mountains, waters and villages in this area, which occupies an important position in the field of geology.

The lowest point of Wutai Mountain is only 624 meters above sea level, and the highest point is 306 1. 1 meter above sea level, which is the highest peak in North China and is known as the "roof of North China".

Wutaishan scenic spot

Mount Wutai is full of strange peaks and cliffs, with more than 50 celebrities.

Among them, the characters on the cliff, after being wetted with water, are carefully wiped with a handkerchief, and the handwriting similar to seal script will appear on the cliff surface, and the water is dry and the characters are hidden.

Someone once removed the stone layer from the epidermis, and as a result, the words could be erased from the lower layer.

If there are different levels, the words are different.

According to records, the couplet "Three treasures of heaven, sun, moon and stars, three treasures of earth, fire, water and wind, and three treasures of people" has been found.

Wutai Mountain is about 320 kilometers away from Fiona Fang. Because five mountain peaks stand like five huge columns and the peaks are as flat as a platform, they are named Wutai.

Because of the cold climate on the mountain, there is still no heat in midsummer, so it is also called Liang Qing.

It is a tourist area integrating natural scenery, ancient architecture art, historical relics, Buddhist culture, folk customs and summer leisure.

1982, Wutai Mountain was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national scenic spots in the name of Wutai Mountain Scenic Spot. Over the years, Wutai Mountain has successively won the honors of "National Key Scenic Spot", "Top Ten Famous Mountains in China", "National Geopark", "National Natural and Cultural Heritage", "National AAAAA Tourist Attraction" and "World Heritage".

Wutai Mountain is composed of ancient crystalline rocks, with deep cuts in the north, towering five peaks and flat peaks, so it is called Wutai: Wanghaishan in Dongtai, GuaYue Feng in the west, Jinxiu Peak in the south, Yedou Peak in the north and Cuiyan Peak in the middle.

Outside the five peaks, it is called outside Taiwan, and inside the five peaks, it is called inside Taiwan, with Taihuai Town as the center.

Among the five stations, Beitai is the highest, and the top of Beitai is 306 1. 1 m above sea level, which is known as the "roof of North China".

The climate in the mountains is cold, there is ice at the top of the platform all year round, and the weather is cool in midsummer, so it is also called Liang Qingshan, which is a summer resort.

The natural vegetation of Wutai Mountain is mainly grassland, which is composed of meadow, grassland and shrub. This is an excellent summer pasture.

Edit this section of Buddhism

Wutai Mountain is one of the earliest Buddhist temple buildings in China.

Since Yongping (58 ~ 75) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, temples have been built in rows, pagodas are towering, and the halls are magnificent, which is the place where China's historic buildings gather.

Sculptures, stone carvings, murals and calligraphy are all over temples, all of which have high artistic value.

At the height of the Tang Dynasty, Wutai Mountain had more than 300 temples. After several changes, the temple buildings were destroyed.

At present, there are 47 temples in and outside Taiwan Province.

Among them, North Temple and nanzenji are the two earliest existing wooden structures in China.

Xiantong Temple (Lingjiu Temple), Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva Peak, Statue Temple and Luobian Temple are listed as "Five Zen Places in Wutai Mountain".

Taihuai Town is a place where temples are concentrated, and it is also the center of Buddhist activities and economic life in Wutai Mountain.

According to legend, Wutai Mountain is the place where Manjusri Bodhisattva gives lectures.

In history, many Buddhists from India, Nepal, Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Sri Lanka and other countries came here to make a pilgrimage to seek the Dharma.

It is the only Buddhist Dojo in China with both Han Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism.

In midsummer, pilgrims from home and abroad come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Every June, a grand mule and horse fair is held to exchange materials, perform artistic performances and spend the summer.

Population of Taihuai Town 10525(2000).

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 and a large scale, ranking first among the four famous Buddhist mountains-hence its name-and is famous in Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal and other countries.

Wutaishan Temple was built in the period of Emperor Han Ming. 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.

A Brief Introduction to the Historical Creation of Holy Land

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.

When Buddhism was first introduced into China, only a few people practiced it.

In the second year of BC, Yi Cun, the envoy of the King of Dayue State (a minority in the Ili Valley in western Xinjiang, China, which was established after moving westward to Central Asia), came to Chang 'an (now Xi 'an), the capital of China at that time. He dictated Buddhist scriptures to a doctoral disciple named Lu Jing, which is the earliest record of Buddhism being introduced into China in China history books.

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, Kaya Morton and Zhu Falan.

In the 11th year of Yongping, a temple was built for these two Indian monks in the west of Luoyang, south of Yong Men.

To commemorate the White Horse Negative Sutra (Chapter 42 Sutra), it was named White Horse Temple.

In the 11th year of Yongping, Kaye Morten and Zhu Falan came to Wutai Mountain (then called Liang Qingshan) 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.

There are many mountains and rivers in Taiwan Province, where is it suitable to build temples? "Liang Qingshan Zhi" contains: "On the left side of the Great Buddha Pagoda, there are footprints left by Sakyamuni Buddha, which are one foot six inches long and six inches wide, with thousands of wheels and ten fingers."

According to legend, they not only found this footprint, but also found the Buddha's "relic". In addition, Fangying Village has majestic mountains and extraordinary weather, which is similar to the Indian spiritual jiusan (the practice place of Sakyamuni Buddha).

For these three reasons, we decided to build a temple here.

After the temple was completed, it was named Lingjiu Temple after the mountain shape.

Liu Zhuang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, added the word "Dafu" (meaning "Hong Xin") to express his belief in Buddhism, so the full name of the completed temple is Dafu Lingjiu Temple.

Dafu Lingjiu Temple is the predecessor of Xiantong Temple.

Since then, Wutai Mountain has become the center of Buddhism in China. The Dafuling Vulture Temple in Wutai Mountain and the Baima Temple in Luoyang are the earliest temples in China.
