Xinjinding, also known as Hongyun Jinding, is an isolated stone peak with a height of 100 meters in the south of Purdue Square. The top is shrouded in mist all the year round, and purple gas rises. Every time the red sun breaks through the clouds, the clouds are dazzling, and the top of the mountain is golden, so it is called Hongyun Jinding, which is homophonic with the sound of "Hongyun Jinding". Looking from a distance, the stone peak rises from the ground and stands tall. Tourists whisper and talk about it, as if it were a vigorous and powerful male root, proudly demonstrating the power to conquer the world. The base of Jinding is covered with short green trees, which is in harmony with the surrounding mountains, but it is in harmony with the towering stone peaks, which can be described as distinct layers. White gables and stone railings around the edge of the cliff are faintly visible at the summit. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, a narrow stone ladder path twists and turns, extending to the steep place of the stone peak. Cement columns and chains are arranged at equal intervals along the outer edge of the stone ladder. Jinding is sometimes misty, looming, full of mystery and solemnity; Sometimes the fog is getting thicker, the clouds are clearly visible, and the peaks are like the Monkey King stone statues, with low eyebrows and low eyes, and they sit still and meditate.
Follow the cement trail to Purdue Square, which is said to be a square. In fact, the area is not much, which is 1000 square meters. It's all paved with rectangular stones, with oil-soaked luster. There is a row of gray stone railings on the edge of the square, and there are stone railings under it. On the railing, a finely carved and strangely shaped pressure bar is fixed every two meters. There is a magnificent hall next to the square, which is the front hall of Chengen Hall. When we passed by, we saw the door of the temple closed and hurried to the path at the foot of Jinding Mountain.
Walking through the steep path along the way, the stone ladder that leans to the left and then folds to the right at the foot of Jinding Mountain begins to have a gentle slope, which is not difficult to walk and has a wide field of vision. Walking and watching, everything is beautiful. Wonderland of clouds, undulating peaks, beautiful scenery and overlapping stones-unconsciously, the path from the foot of the mountain to the hillside with short green vegetation has been completed and climbed up the almost upright stone peak.
This is an unusual hiking route. In order to reach the top of the mountain, it has been continuously optimized from ancient times to the present, and an amazing steep path has been dug from the gap of the steep mountain peak. I think the danger of Fan Jingshan gathering in Huashan comes from this. All the way up with the cement railing column, we hold the polished chain tightly in one hand and the cliff stone tightly in the other, trying to keep our body stable and go up step by step. From bottom to top, the terrain is relatively open, and the trail is built step by step with cement hardening. In some areas, stone ladders cut the stones of mountain peaks one by one, so we can just put a foot on them. We used our hands and feet to crawl all the way. The tip of the nose is almost attached to the heel of the previous person. Looking back, the last man's head was at his feet. One by one, tourists keep going up. There is no room for any retreat in this kind of climbing. Those who go up behind have broken your retreat, trapped in the advancing stream of people, and can only crustily skin of head and continue to go up.
Walking, a huge stone stood in front of us, covering most of the boulders below, with only a narrow gap in the middle. The lower part of the tourist is close to the boulder, and the corner must be arched from under the boulder. The stone steps here are completely dug on the boulder, with a foot-sized stone pedal, which can barely stand. The firm chain on the outside has been polished, and it is said that only hands and feet can pass firmly on the body. Hence the name "Top Chest Stone". Climbing over the "Top Chest Stone", a two-foot-wide road appeared in front of me, with a shiny stone surface, a vertical steep wall on the left and an unfathomable corner swept by the abyss on the right. I felt creepy at first glance. Fortunately, two chains were pulled horizontally in the middle. Otherwise, I grabbed the wall with one hand and the chain with the other, walking on thin ice, holding the wall with trepidation and breaking out in a cold sweat. I can't help thinking: "One small step will make a lasting regret". These steps can be regarded as the most vivid portrayal!
Going up through Guanyin Cave, you enter the Golden Knife Gorge, which is a masterpiece, and the integrated mountain peak is divided into two. According to legend, the Jinding of Hongyun was originally a complete stone pillar. When Sakyamuni Buddha and Maitreya Buddha came to this mountain and saw its wonderful terrain, they all wanted to use it as a place of practice. When the two Buddhas were at loggerheads, they went to the Heavenly Palace to sue the court. The Jade Emperor held a golden knife and cut it off at Jinding. Only when Sakyamuni gets Zuo Yan and Maitreya stands on the right side can the dispute be resolved.
Since then, it has been divided into two roofs about three or four meters apart. The gap between the two roofs is Jindaoxia, which is about 90 meters deep and the narrowest part is less than 1 meter. There is a stone road leading to the top at the bottom of the canyon. Climb the stairs, such as climbing the ladder. Looking up in the gorge, I saw a ray of skylight. Weeds were overgrown in the gap of the gorge wall, and the fog was wet and dripping. What's even more amazing is that there is a spring on the cliff in the canyon, which gurgles. Keep a spoonful all the year round, and a sip is just enough for tourists. It is said that taking a sip immediately makes you refreshed and calm, so it is called "centering water". Unfortunately, we were in a hurry when we passed by, so we took a sip without finding it.
Through Jindao Gorge, climb to the top of the gorge along the steep stone steps, and a stone arch bridge about five meters long flies into the gorge. In front of you, the Shi Zhuan used to roll the arch is very elegant. Traces of lime and mud used in ancient times can be clearly seen in the crevices under the arch bridge. Stone railings are built on both sides of the bridge top, and exquisite vessel patterns are carved on the lower stone railings. A rectangular stone tablet stands on one side of the bridge, which reads the words "Jinding overpass".
There are two ancient temples on both sides of the top of the mountain, one on the left is dedicated to the present Buddha-Sakyamuni Buddha, and the other on the right is dedicated to the future Buddha-Maitreya Buddha, which symbolizes that it is not easy to get through the present and rush to the future. It is said that these two temples were built during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and then destroyed and built. Now, although they are restored and rebuilt according to the ancient style, the ancient temples have lost their long traces. Even so, I have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. I can't imagine how these stones were transported up bit by bit at that time, and I can't help but respect the ancients!
When I arrived at the Sakyamuni Hall, it was very late. The two doors in the hall were closed, and I could only smell the aftertaste of burning incense. On a circular doorframe of the hall, a pair of gold powder official script couplets is written: when watching a thunderstorm, I want to take off the stars and put them in my hand. It can be described as magnificent! There is a huge stone behind the temple, which is called the "Speaking Platform". This boulder is a typical Fan Jing stromatolite. The upper part of the stone is horizontally outward, and the lower part of the base is narrow, protruding from the peak and standing still.
Walk across the overpass and come to Maitreya Hall. The couplet here is actually Mao Zedong's words: The scenery here is unique, and there are so many beautiful mountains and rivers. It appropriately interprets Maitreya's optimistic mood of facing the future and living in dangerous rocks. The "sunbathing platform" behind the temple is far from the "talking platform", showing the miracle created by nature silently and without regret. Layers of stones are like scrolls of scriptures, and the edges seem to have the luster of coal. After hundreds of millions of years of weathering, the cross section of piled stones has become uneven. The weeds and wild flowers on the top of the boulder swayed tenaciously in the wind and passed down from generation to generation, witnessing the long crossing of the stacked stones for hundreds of millions of years. At the corner of the railing at the top of the mountain, a wooden rectangular facade sign impressively reads "2336 meters Fan Jingshan Hongyun Jinding".
A gust of wind blew, accompanied by a thick fog and a chill, so I couldn't help but shrink up and pull up a raincoat to block the cold wind that poured into my neck. There is a steaming cloud around the peak, and from time to time, clouds of fog float in quickly with the wind, further enhancing the thickness of the fog. The whole mountain peak was shrouded in dense fog, and it was all white. Even if you are at a high altitude, you can see from the railing that, except for the fog, the peaks, clouds and gullies just now disappeared in a flash.
It can be said that surging clouds are a unique natural landscape in Fan Jing. Such a landscape will happen at any time every day. Therefore, in order to take a clear picture of the summit, we had to wait quietly and take a quick picture as a souvenir.
Wei Shuaiyun covers your eyes, faithful wife. Finally, the fog that had just been covered began to disperse quickly in our stubborn waiting. At dusk, the sun appeared unexpectedly, and it was satisfied to realize that other mountains were short and heroic under the sky ... The mountains around the peaks gradually recovered their original contours and became more and more clear. They are towering, mountainous and majestic, and the distant peaks meet the sky. The clouds are light and the wind is light, and the clouds are lingering-the nearby peaks are majestic and steep, visible, covered with trees and full of green eyes, or occasionally exposed at the summit. Looking at a natural picture in front of me, I felt the instantaneous changes of clouds, fog and wind, which added to the mystery of Fan Jing. Being in this mountain, I feel like painting a trip to the Bank of China, as if I were visiting Fairy Mountain.
Fan Jing, Brahma Pure Land, a famous Buddhist mountain, has a long history. After climbing on foot for six hours, it finally reached the top of the mountain. Mushrooms, waterfalls, flowing clouds, red clouds and golden roofs-no distractions, unique scenery, unforgettable, glad you came! I also achieved the longest new leap in the history of mountaineering in my life. I think of Wang Guozhen's poem in vain: "There is no mountain higher than man, no road longer than feet, and no scenery more beautiful than heart!"
