One night the other day, it snowed heavily all night. The next morning, I was excited to see the snow scene in Qianfo Mountain. Qianfo Mountain has the custom of enjoying chrysanthemums in autumn and watching snow in winter since ancient times.
One night's heavy snow put a white coat on Qianfo Mountain, just as the poem said, "It's like a spring breeze, and at night, it blows open the petals of ten thousand pear trees." It suddenly occurred to me that Mr. Lao She wrote "Jinan can't stand the heavy snow, those hills are too delicate" in the winter in Jinan. But this snow is heavy anyway, and the snow on the flat ground can't cross the ankle. The whole Qianfo Mountain is white, mixed with layers of green in Chen Zhe, dotted with patches of red. That green is the branches and leaves of pine and cypress, holding clouds of white snow, just like soldiers guarding northern Xinjiang, wearing white cloaks and standing tall in the snow. The branches and leaves of pine and cypress have lost their green color in spring, summer and autumn, and have already turned into dark green. The red part is some tenacious Feng Dan leaves, which are bright red in the snow. Halfway up the hill, the red walls of Lishanyuan and xingguo temple are mottled with reddish-brown light against the background of white snow, and the roofs are covered with thick snow, revealing only the green edge of a circle of glazed tiles. Qianfo Mountain is like a huge beautiful snow painting, so lively. Boarding a pavilion in the courtyard of Lishan Mountain, the whole spring city has become an ice city made of ice and snow, with buildings and houses like jade carvings.
Qianfo Mountain has a long history. It was called Mount Li before the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, Shungeng was under Lishan Mountain, which was also called Shunshan Mountain by the ancients. Wei Shou's poem "Climbing the Mountain" in the Northern Qi Dynasty "has no wind and no politics, and mountains and rivers are blocked. Still thinking, leaving this mountain to thank "can prove it. In the Jin Dynasty, Buddhism gradually infiltrated, and the ceremony of moving Mount Li was held every year, which was also called "moving Mount Li" by the world. During the reign of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, caves were dug along the mountain, and many buddhas were carved, which was originally called Qianfo Mountain, and temples were built, where monks gathered and became a holy place of Buddha incense. 1959 completed the park. The highest point of the mountain is 285 meters above sea level, with a total area of 166.438+0 hectares.
Mount Li and xingguo temple, which are halfway up the mountain, are the main historical sites of Qianfo Mountain. The word "Lishan" on the gate of Lishan Garden was written by Nong Youxi, a calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. There are Shun Di Temple, Luban Temple, Wenchang Pavilion, Sanqing Hall and Zhenwu Building in the hospital. There used to be Kannonji, but later he moved out. Apart from worshipping the Buddha statues, Grand Priest and Jade Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Wenchang Pavilion also has a memorial tablet of Confucius, which is a courtyard where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism live together. The four characters "xingguo temple" were inscribed by Zhao Puchu, a contemporary calligrapher. The couplets on both sides of the mountain gate "wake up to fame and fortune; What is widely circulated among the people is to call back the dream of suffering through the voice of Buddha's name. There are many places of interest in the temple, such as Daxiong Hall, Thousand Buddha Cliffs, Longquan Cave, Qian Lou Cave, Paradise Stone Square and Duihua Pavilion. Xingguo temple is the exclusive courtyard of Buddhism.
Besides, there are many scenic spots on the mountain, such as Tang Huaiting, "Seven Eyes and Nine Halls" and "Jing Yun Zen Temple". "Seven Words and Nine Points" Square is located in the middle section of Pan Xi Road, which was built by Ye Guishu, the county magistrate of Licheng County in the 25th year of Qing Daoguang. Standing here, you can see nine Xiushan, namely Huashan, Woniu Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Biaoshan, Kuangshan, North baimashan, Yaoshan, Sushan and Queshan, which are located in the north of the city. The mountains are different in color, the clouds are moist and steaming, and the smoke is lingering, forming a smoke scene, so it is called "nine-point strange smoke". Li He, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem "Dream Cloud", in which he said, "Looking at qi zhou in the distance". But now standing here, you can't see the tall buildings in the city at nine o'clock. Even at the top of the mountain, you can only see two mountains of Quehua.
There are many trees in Qianfo Mountain. There are more than 0/50 species of woody plants and more than 500,000 mature trees. In particular, Platycladus orientalis, Sabina vulgaris and conifers are the most abundant, forming an evergreen forest without deciduous leaves; Cotinus coggygria, Pistacia chinensis and five-pointed maple form a red leaf forest, while clove, apricot, apricot, jujube and elm form an ornamental flower forest, and so on. Spring is full of flowers, summer is full of shade, autumn is full of mountain red, winter is full of pine and cypress, and the four seasons are picturesque.
I have been to Qianfo Mountain many times. When I was a child, I followed the adults to catch the mountain fair. According to research, since the Yuan Dynasty, Qianfo Mountain has had the custom of catching the mountain on the Double Ninth Festival. Farmers around Jinan are carrying burdens, carrying baskets, pushing unicycles and tying a large wicker basket. Some people in the distance are driving donkey carts and carriages. Nanshan fruit farmers mainly sell persimmon, hawthorn, walnut, red banana, green banana, Daguoguang, Xiaoguoguang and other local varieties of apples in Jinan. The vegetable farmers in Beiyuan washed the turnips with green skins and red hearts and sold them as fruits. They can eat it raw with a knife and sell all kinds of vegetables, such as lotus root, lettuce and celery. Some shopping malls in the city also set up stalls to sell clothes and fabrics, and various department stores and bookstores sell books. What impressed me the most was the one-person-high copper pot selling tea soup at the stall of Sihaixiang Shopping Mall, which was covered with a spring and supported by a red wool ball the size of a fist, and swayed vigorously with the action of pouring tea soup. At that time, it was the early days of the Cultural Revolution, and there was no private economy. All the sellers are units and collectives. Even agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables are organized and sold by production teams. The crowd was bustling and very lively. At that time, Qianfo Mountain was open, but now there are not so many doors. From Jingshi Road to the main gate archway now, there is a large Tallinn in the east of the road, and some stone pagodas with Buddhist bones buried in the west. One person is much taller, hidden in the cypress forest, and there are some bungalows. The mountain will go from the archway to Jingshi Road, and then cross Jingshi Road to Wenhua Road.
When I was in middle school, I also went to Qianfo Mountain. It was the school that organized a visit to the large-scale clay sculpture exhibition "Renting House" in Xingguo Temple, which showed the evil deeds of Liu, a bully landlord in Sichuan before liberation.
In recent years, I moved to live near Qianfo Mountain, and I often go for a walk in Qianfo Mountain in my spare time. Although I have been there many times, it is the first time to really appreciate the mountain scenery after the snow. The scenery of Qianfo Mountain is beautiful, and the four seasons are different, but I love the snow scene this winter alone. The ice sculpture and jade carving, white and flawless, make people calm in this noisy society.
