Youda Xiangshan Ji

Today the weather is sunny, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and my heart is wandering again. It is a pity to think that the great Xiangshan Mountain is close at hand, but it has not been able to climb the mountain to see the Buddha many times. So he took his wife and children and drove east to Daxiangshan.

Daxiangshan is located on Wen Qi Mountain in the western suburb of Gangu County, and it is named after a clay sculpture stone tire Buddha in Tang Dynasty. The real name is Daxiangshan. After textual research, Zhao Puchu changed its name to Daxiangshan according to the legend that Sakyamuni was born in an elephant.

Standing on the Big Xiangshan Square, the Big Xiangshan in front of you is triangular, like a flag fluttering in the wind. The front of the cliff is reddish brown, dotted with sparse green trees, and the giant Buddha stands in a square cave on the cliff at the top of the mountain. Pavilions and pavilions are built on the mountain, and the mountains are winding and winding, and the negative momentum is competing, such as flying dragons in the sky and walking on clouds.

Entering the mountain gate, a huge black turtle poked around and wandered freely, walking in the middle of the road. There is a stone tablet on his back, which reads "the hometown of Yidi" in four majestic characters.

Bypassing the stone tablet, the mountain is straight up. We walked up the stairs and passed the Earth Temple, Meige Hall and Fuxi Hall in turn. It's hot, there are few trees, and people are panting and sweating. It is quite different from the description in the inscription that "lilacs are hidden, white pines are towering, the valley is quiet and lush, and the stone is crisp and clear". The small trees on the roadside are motionless and weak and listless in the hot sun. Brown sandstone can be seen everywhere along the road.

Looking up, I saw a group of buildings on the ridge above, hidden among several pine trees. I hurried to speed up my steps. When you look closer, it turns out to be Guanyin Hall and Thousand Buddha Cave. Entering from the side door, you can reach guanyin temple, surrounded by carved beams and painted buildings, with a heavy hall and a very quiet yard. His Royal Highness has a hole in the back of the courtyard, and couplets are hung on both sides, "Ask all beings who is the Tathagata, and may the earth become pure land".

When I walked into the cave, cold air hit my face and I felt cool. On the right, Maitreya smiles, bares his breast and welcomes visitors from all directions. Further inside, there are two reliefs on each side, four donkey kong, glaring at them with instruments, guarding the abode of fairies and immortals.

After drilling through the cave corridor, we arrived at seven buddha Cave, where more than 20 buddhas, such as Pharmacist Buddha, Amitabha Buddha and Bodhisattva, are enshrined, which is solemn and solemn. Through the seven buddha Cave, you can reach the Treasure Cave, where the treasure king and his two sons are enshrined. On both sides are Yamaraja's Ten Temples, Horses and Horses, Judges of Life and Death, etc. All these are terrible, grotesque and terrible. The temperature here is extremely low, and the intuitive chill is soaking people, making people feel cold and cold, and they have goose bumps all over.

I dare not stay any longer. I went straight to the Thousand Buddha Cave, and the theme was "Eight hundred arhats versus Guanyin". The whole layout is annular, magnificent and spectacular! In all directions, there are arhats on both sides of the head, sitting, standing, lying or kneeling. Or stand against the railing, or sit on a stone, or between cliffs, or stand in the clouds. Or holding a scroll, or holding a pagoda, or holding a sword, or holding a heavy hammer. Or bow their heads in meditation, or look up, or whisper, or listen. Or neatly dressed and gentle; Or bare-chested, kind-hearted; Or in rags, with a sad face; Or dressed in strange clothes, hideous. Or nod your head and lower your eyebrows, or wait eagerly, or chuckle, or hold your breath. Laugh or cry, or be angry or angry ... different shapes, lifelike, human beings are among them. Buddha said that "a flower, a world, a leaf and a bodhi", a small cave, all-encompassing in the world, is amazing!

Once out of the Thousand Buddha Cave, you can go to Wenchang Pavilion. This is dedicated to yu zhang. I don't understand how this former Qin Wufu, with a sword and a horizontal gun, became today's elegant and gentle Wenchang Emperor, a scholar, and was worshipped by thousands of candidates. Before arriving at the pavilion, the gate was locked. I read the inscription "Wen Chang's Ode" written by Niu Bo outside, and then continued to walk up.

Go straight up the ridge, cross Gong Bo Xiandao, cross Luban Hall and enter Luban Hall. These buildings are built across the mountains, steep and abrupt, such as Dapeng squatting off the top of the mountain. There are cliffs on both sides, and it is really difficult to build without the ingenuity of our ancestors.

Then walk up Jianmin Road to a platform with a pavilion in the middle, which is Aimin Pavilion. Sitting in the hall, cool breeze blowing gently, comfortable and comfortable. Standing on the left side of the stone fence, you can see the whole city of Gangu. The park at the foot of the mountain is sparkling. There are many tall buildings and houses in the distance, and the mountains in the distance are endless and rolling. Several white-skinned old pines, hanging on the cliff, covered with green leaves, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, full of green. Branches stretch obliquely in the air, looking forward to life, like a dragon exploring the sea, winding forward. Added a lot of aura to this dry mountain! Seeing the steep mountain ahead, I sat here for a long time and drank a glass of water to recuperate.

When I recovered my strength, I walked on, climbed the steep stone steps in one breath and came to Wei Tuo Concert Hall. Bypassing Wei Tuo Hall, I climbed the steep stone steps to the Infinite Hall. From here to the left, a long corridor surrounds the cliff and crosses the mountainside. There are more than 20 Buddha caves in turn on the promenade, and there is an inscription.

In the middle of this long side is Sakyamuni Buddha. The giant Buddha is located in a rectangular niche, more than 20 meters high, sitting on the lotus platform. The left hand touches the left knee and the right hand bends upward. Double earlobes and shoulders, wide and rich forehead, round face and good looks. Look up, solemn and serene. Birds hover overhead, and there are many small Buddha statues climbing on the surrounding stone walls, with thousands of postures and different shapes. On the upper right of the Giant Buddha is Wang Yaodong, and on the upper left are the Temple of Heaven and the Three Sages of the West.

Walk more than 20 meters after the giant Buddha, and you will reach the Temple of Heaven, cross the Temple of Heaven and go up to the right. Here, the road is narrow and steep, and the steps are straight up, which makes people feel scared! Finally arrived at the highest place-the Hall of the Three Sages in the West. I didn't realize the feeling of "harmony between man and nature", and I really broke out in a cold sweat!

Go back to the original road and turn to the back of Wei Tuo Temple. The mountain behind is slower. By the way, I visited Yongming Temple and went down the mountain.

I wanted to worship Shi and Jiang Wei, who are famous for their skills and skills. History entered the door of Confucius, ranking first among the 72 sages, returning to China after learning, carrying forward Confucianism and educating the whole people. Jiang Wei fought nine battles in the Central Plains, was brave and good at fighting, galloped on the battlefield, and did his best for half of Shu Han until he died. These two rural sages have made outstanding contributions and really should worship, but the children are too young and the weather is unbearable, so they hurried back after eating.
