Its mountain gate building is magnificent, with five characters inscribed by Zhang Bao on the horizontal plaque at the top, and the name of Emei Mountain, the imperial pen of Kangxi, below. The gates on both sides are "the leader of the mountain", "the eldest son of the Buddha", "Xiujia Kyushu" and "Gaoling Wuyue", with couplets in the middle, which are dignified and rigorous, vigorous and powerful.
Mount Emei was called "the first mountain in Sinian", which was a long time ago. It is said that in the 3rd century AD, an Indian monk named Zhang Bao came to China along the Southern Silk Road via Myanmar. He traveled to many famous mountains and rivers in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins, then passed through Chang 'an, crossed the Qinling Mountains, arrived in Shu, and arrived in Emei. He successively built huts in Lingyan Temple, Hongchunping, Baozhang Peak and other places and settled in Xi. He lived in the mountains for more than a hundred years and became a magical chitose palm. Zhang Bao saw that this mountain has no peaks and no greenery, all the mountains are beautiful, and Xiangyun floats in the void, so he praised the cloud: "It is higher than the Five Mountains, showing the beauty of Kyushu, and it is the first mountain in Sinian." Since then, Mount Emei has won the reputation of "the first mountain in Sinian". "Sinian" is the place where the sun rises, and it is the honorific title of China in ancient India. Wang Xizhi, a famous calligrapher in the Jin Dynasty, said in The Book of the Temple: "The mountains and rivers in the middle of Shu are like Mount Emei, with frost and hail in summer, and the monument is like Kunlun Mountain", and Emei Mountain is compared with Kunlun Mountain. Guo Yi in Yuan Dynasty said in Notes on Snow Lodging: Mount Emei is seventy miles long, which was crossed by Daizong for thirty miles, isolated from the cold, and has forced the western Buddhist world to be the first mountain in Sinian. In the Ming Dynasty, Emei Mountain, as a Buddhist holy land and a famous mountain in the world, was worshipped by the world and was fascinated. Fu Guangzhai's Monument to the Golden Temple of Pu Xian in Emei Mountain says: "Pu Xian is the eldest son of Buddha and the length of Emei Mountain. The mountain starts from Kunlun and comes from Qingji. Became Emei, and then divided into five mountains "; Yuan Zirang said in "Two Mountains Map" that "China has three Dojo, which is the Buddhist country of Sinian: Emei, Wutai and Butuo, so Emei is the first mountain in China"; Zhou Hongyi said: "The beauty of Emei is the best in the world, so why go to the sea to find Penglai?" It reveals that Emei Mountain is a fairyland on earth. It can be seen that Mount Emei at this time is the real "first mountain in China". By the Qing Dynasty, the name of Mount Emei had surpassed the Five Mountains, attracting countless literati to sing. Zhang said in the Ode to Mount Emei, "There are four famous mountains in the universe, but I live in one of them. Bozhong Kunlun, Wuyue Moji First Family. " Gao Jiang said in "A Tour of Emei Mountain": "Emei is the first mountain in Sinian, and the emperor taught Taoism, and Pu Xian showed it. It is magical and supernatural, and it is not a complex world. " Now, in front of the first mountain pavilion under Mount Emei, there is an inscription on the flourishing Baoding carved on the four wooden tripod: the majestic Emei rises from Kunlun Mountain and reaches the southwest of Sichuan, with three peaks protruding. Higher than the Five Mountains, Xiujia Kyushu. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhang Bao, an Indian monk, praised "the first mountain in Sinian". In the Tang Dynasty, Li sang "Emei is higher than the West". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Hongyi's poem eulogized "The beauty of the three pagodas is the best in the world, so why go to the sea to find Penglai", and Fu Guangzhai lamented that "Pu Xian is the eldest son of the Buddha; Emei is the leader of the mountain, and Yuan Zirang named it "the first mountain in China".
