The scenery of Baishidong

There is an auspicious clock next to the ginkgo tree, which is "peaceful country and people, prosperous in the new century". Tourists say that Hanshan Temple can ring the clock three times for ten yuan, while the clock in Baishidong can ring at will. So I pulled up the wooden hammer and struck the bronze bell again and again, hoping that the country would be rich and strong, the people would be safe, and I would pray for the health of my loved ones and wish my charming daughter a smooth postgraduate entrance examination. With the impact of the wooden hammer, in an instant, the deep and powerful bell vibrated in the valley and echoed in the forest. The sound brushed away the troubles in the world, and the lingering sound lingered in my heart for a long time.

There are not many tourists in the mountains. Occasionally, tourists walk together or pass by. When they smile, they only hear their own voices and then disappear. Compared with the noisy and crowded famous mountains and rivers, Baishidong is quiet and casual like a simple village girl, which is closer to human nature. In late autumn, there is no trace of cicada birds, and the mountains are quiet and leisurely. Its naive and natural interest gives tourists walking through the mountains a sense of tranquility, forgetting honor and disgrace and reveling in not knowing the way home. Worship the immortals of all walks of life, stroll around and continue to go up. The mountain road is steeper and steeper, but it is surrounded by more and more red leaves. I turn the shutter from time to time and photograph the beautiful green hills and red leaves. I really hope that this fire-like passion will burn forever in the process of life. When I finally reached the top of Baishi Cave, I saw pine trees, cypresses, cotinus coggygria and maple leaves in the distance. Everything is a beautiful autumn, full of red leaves and forests. In addition, the ancient temples, red walls and blue tiles, cornices and arches are elegant and graceful, and the magical charm of nature shows visitors a landscape with a strong autumn. Looking up, the sky is blue, white clouds are walking in the air, and the distance seems close enough to reach out and kiss. The breeze around me gently brushed my face, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the earth was full of poetry and fascinating. The lost soul and devoured heart in the world of mortals suddenly calmed down. At the foot of the mountain, the city is like a stick figure. Roads, vehicles, villages, cooking smoke, rivers, and distant mountains and peaks with a touch of gray have clearly entered the heart, making people feel that life is so peaceful and beautiful, and their mood is pleasant and comfortable in the simplicity of nature. "If you want to be quiet as autumn water, you should be like a mountain cloud." At this point, the wine in the breeze, a song "Man Ting Fang Innocent Liu Shidong" from the heart:

Man Ting Fangqingbai Liushidong

At the beginning of the shower, the clouds cleared and the sky was clear and Wan Li rolled up its autumn counterpart.

Climbing the ancient platform, the ladder road comes into view.

Millennium ravines are opposite, and it is not surprising that they will be washed away as soon as the wind passes.

Fairy cave, dripping spring water, poetic rhyme like a piano.

Affectionate, Lin Ran, half slope red, people drunk as maple.

Look at the century-old tree, thorn Cang pavilion.

Ten zhangs Gu Teng curtain roll, spring dream like a dream, how many back to coagulation.

Love is hard, but with you, the soul steps on the mountain.

A kind of heartfelt comfort combined with poetry stayed at the top of Baishidong Mountain, the red maple beside Qingshan Mountain and many mortal days in the future.

At the foot of the mountain, the wind blew. The bell echoed in the valley from time to time, and some fallen leaves danced and performed the last swan song of life. Thinking of Gong Zizhen's poem "Falling red is not a heartless thing, but turning into spring mud to protect flowers", I can't help but sincerely send a blessing to the reincarnation of life-indigo naturalis, and meet Baishidong in the coming year; Red leaves, will the branches meet again next year, and will the branches meet again next year? Baishidong, also known as "White Snake Cave", is located in Xia Yan Formation, Xia Long Village, Baishi Town. Baishidong is named after the cave walls are all white limestone. As for the alias "White Snake Cave", it is not elegant. However, there is a cave called "Green Snake Cave" in Dawu Formation in Xia Long Village. The cave is long and steep, about 500 meters long, 1-5 meters wide and more than 30 meters high. There are many "skylights" at the top of the cave and the entrance is very high. There are two stalactites hanging upside down in the middle, which are shaped like two fangs of a giant snake and are very likely to eat people, so they are called "Green Snake Cave". Perhaps "White Snake Cave" is the name corresponding to "Green Snake Cave".

Baishi Cave is divided into three parts: portal, outer hole and inner hole. The mouth of the cave is spacious, built by the ancients, and more than ten people can enter at the same time. There is a couplet on the cave door, which was written by the ancients. The article says that "the white stone frequently rains short-lived, and the caves spread the sound of laurel leaves far away", which is full of Zen. Entering from the entrance of the cave is a tall outer cave, with a plaque hanging high above the rock wall, which reads: "Baishi Cave". The font is vigorous and powerful. This is written by Chen Jianmin, an internationally renowned Buddhist.

The outer cave of Baishi Cave is nearly 100 meters deep, about 50 meters wide and about 7 meters high. On the right side, there is a small mouth leading to the outside of the mountain, which is sunny, just like two sinkholes and two big eyes of a white snake. The outer cave can accommodate more than 1000 people. In the past, a "Qian Qiu Conference" was held here. On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, there are many pilgrims, chariots and horses, and it is very lively. Using this outer hole as a restaurant, more than 80 tables can be held at a banquet.

There are many irregular holes on the back and right side of the outer hole, which is the inner hole. When you get to the inner hole, you have to climb in. It extends in all directions and is unfathomable. It is said that many years ago, in Quantang Mountain, 20 miles away, someone put ducks on the side of the mountain, lost two of them and couldn't find them anywhere. Two days later, the two ducks came out of Baishidong.

Drilling from the back of the outer cave, there is a clear spring not far away, which slowly flows from the bottom of the left cave to the bottom of the right cave. The microwave is crystal clear and elegant, and it is hard to know how beautiful the dark spring is unless you come in person. The stone gallery in the cave is accompanied by tortuous rocks, which is 50 meters long. Tourists come here and lament the miracle. There is also a statue of Guanyin sitting on a lotus made of magma, which is quiet and dignified and kind-hearted. Even if it is wonderful, it is rare to have such a vivid masterpiece.

Baishidong is picturesque. Throughout the ages, many tourists have come here. Messages on the stone wall are everywhere.

There is an ancient temple at the mouth of Baishi Cave, which was restored in 1980s. 1982, Buddhist master Chen Jianmin donated money to rebuild an old Zhangman and other Buddha statues for people to worship. Eye-catching bamboo couplets are hung on both sides of the shrine: "When will the daytime mountain turn and the stone spring return?" Backing the mountain during the day, you must turn tomorrow morning; But when will Shiquan meet again? This couplet is full of endless years, fleeting sighs, and love and attachment to nature.

This couplet was written by Mr. Zhu Huixin, a rural Confucian in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the bamboo carving technique was made by Mr. Zhu Jienong, a disciple of Zhu Huixin. Zhu Jienong lived near Baishi Temple and studied under Zhu Huixin when he was a child. After class, teachers and students like to wander around the Baishi Temple. One day, Mr. Zhu looked thoughtfully from a distance and recited, "Daming turns around the mountain in the daytime, when will the stone spring be returned?" He asked his student Zhu Jienong to carve bamboo. Xie Nong listened to the teacher's instructions, went into the mountain to get a straight bamboo, cut off a piece, dried it, split it in two, polished the outer layer, and posted a couplet written by Mr. Chen, a famous calligrapher of Baishi who was then the Chinese teacher of Dayu Middle School in Jiangxi Province. The second and third students helped him, fumbled for a knife, carefully tried to carve it, and succeeded day and night. Then nail the iron ring, paint it brightly, and tie it with a red cloth strip. Under the leadership of Teacher Zhu, all the disciples sent bamboo couplets to Baishi Temple, which condensed the hearts of teachers and students. When the abbot of the temple heard the news, he fired a gun to greet him and prepared a banquet to thank him. After the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. Xie Nong joined the army and later went to Taiwan Province Province with the army. Even the strait was blocked, and he looked at Xixiang Pass in the distance, and his tears were wet. 1988, unfreezed by both parties. The following year, Mr. Zhu Jienong returned home from Taiwan Province to visit relatives, and visited Baishi Cave with his brother Zhu Dapeng, only to find that the Baishi Temple was in ruins, and the bamboo couplets he carved in those years disappeared (it is said that the bamboo couplets were burned in the Cultural Revolution). Mr. Wang sighed and wrote a poem secretly: "The weak crown has not returned for a long time, and my hometown is in a trance;" Today, when I revisited Baishidong, the culture did not fall to Zhan Yan. "Mr. Xie Nong is determined to carve another bamboo couplet and hang it in the temple to send homesickness. After returning to Taiwan Province Province, he bought a semi-finished bamboo from a bamboo carving company in Kaohsiung City. According to his experience fifty years ago, he kept indoors and worked hard to write and carve couplets. It will be finished in half a month. Friends sent back to the mainland to visit relatives, take them back to their hometown and hang them in the temple. Later, when Mr. Zhu heard in Taiwan Province that his hometown was actively restoring the Baishi Temple, he wrote with emotion in his family letter: "I am very excited and I am very optimistic. "It is expected that this holy place will restore its former scenery and attract Chinese and foreign tourists. Ok, ok. "
