Unlimited Pass, also known as Unlimited Pass, is the earliest Taoist building in Qian Shan. It was built in the sixth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1667) and was presided over by Liu Tailin, a Taoist priest. Therefore, Liu was honored as "the founder of the mountain".
No food, no light, no magic.
Liu Tailin, whose real name is Liu Yulin, was born in Yongping House, Zhili. Because of her poor family, she finished the journey alone. Later, he became a monk in Jiuding Tiesha Mountain in Benxi and became the fourth disciple of Guo Shouzhen's father. In the Longmen School of Taoism, she was ranked in the ninth generation of Tai, so she was renamed Liu Tailin.
Guo Zushi yearned for the scenery of Qian Shan for a long time, and wanted to introduce Taoism into the Buddhist holy land of Qian Shan, and sent Liu Tailin to put on a show. Liu Tailin lived in Zuyue Temple first, and went out quietly every day, hoping to save money to build a temple himself. It was a long time before the monks of Zuyue Temple knew about it. In order to prevent the introduction of Taoism, they sent Liu Tailin to the dark and humid Luohan Cave halfway up the mountain to see the incense. Seeing that half a year has passed, the money he saved is not enough to buy a threshold, and he can't help but worry. Thanks to the help of General Hong, a lay brother who was an official in Beijing, he was able to build the Infinite View in Luohan Cave. Because Liu Tailin lived in Luohan Cave for more than 40 days, and because Luohan Cave has no beams and columns, it was named "no beam (grain) view" after its completion. Later, taking the meaning of Taoist magic, it was renamed as "Infinite View".

Infinite view is the first Taoist view in Qian Shan, with a large scale and many temples. The existing temples mainly include Sanguan Hall, Laojun Hall, Xige Pavilion and Huangyu Pavilion.
The infinite vision building has reasonable layout and beautiful shape. All temples are single-eave hard-mountain-style, carved with beams and painted with buildings, resplendent and magnificent. They are all built according to the mountain, sitting on the mountain, lying on the mountainside, or hiding in the valley, setting off the ancient pagodas and monuments, making the natural scenery and human landscape harmonious and wonderful. The best building should be Xiting, which is built on rocks and surrounded by a layer of forest. It looks very quiet and elegant. Lu, a Qing man, once wrote a pair of couplets praising him, saying, "The pods are falling in the moon, and the dew is shining high in the sky." There is a Kannonji in Xige, beautifully carved and exquisite as a bonsai. In the center of the hall stands a statue of Guanyin with great compassion, and there are murals of Guanyin's compassion to save eight difficulties on both sides of the wall. There are also statues of the beautiful empress who specializes in treating eye diseases and the sons and daughters who sent their children to earth.
The main hall of Infinite View is Sanguan Hall. There are wing rooms in the mountain basin, and there are corner doors in the front and back, forming a neat and clean courtyard. There are three statues of officials in the temple, which are "Shang Yuan blessed the heavenly official Yao, Zhong Yuan pardoned the guilty official Shun, and released the water official Yu". Yao and Shun were wise kings in ancient times, and Yu was a wise minister of water conservancy, but he was listed as the three officials of heaven, earth and water on the Taoist gods list, and murals of visiting Shun and Dayu were painted on the left and right walls of the main hall. In front of the three official statues are the protector Wang Lingguan and the altar statue. Legend has it that Wang Lingguan has three eyes, and the one in the middle is just a discerning person who specializes in the evil deeds of the wicked. The evil in the world could not escape his eyes, so he was made the protector of the law. The images of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea on the east side of the three official statues are vivid and vividly reproduce the charm of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea. On the west side, there is the Jade Pool Golden Maiden, that is, the Queen Mother riding a cloud, which looks peaceful.
Laojun Hall is located on the hillside to the east of Sanguan Hall, with elegant pavilions. Because Lao Jun (Kun Li) is the ancestor of Taoism, the word "Taoism" is engraved on the plaque at his temple gate. In addition to the statues of Tai Shang Lao Jun and Moral Buddha, there are also statues of Chen Yu Dao Jun, Lingbao Buddha and Jade Qing. On both sides of the wall, there are murals of Laojun crossing Hangu Pass and Confucius asking Laojun questions.
Jade Emperor Pavilion is the tallest building, with unlimited vision. It is located at the top of the mountain and is called "Guanding" by Taoist priests. It is the earliest building with infinite concept. According to preliminary identification, it was built in the Tang Dynasty and was originally a command post for troops. The only masonry building in the whole landscape, this project is strong and unusual, and it still stands as it did thousands of years ago. There is a statue of the Jade Emperor in the pavilion, a semi-circular flat outside the pavilion, surrounded by brick walls half a person high, which is an excellent place for tourists to climb the Range Rover.
On the second arched stone gate of Xige, the words "purple gas comes from the east" are engraved. Legend has it that during the Spring and Autumn Period, the commander-in-chief of Hanguguan had a dream at night and learned that a saint would pass by the next day. Early in the morning, he led people to the east gate to meet him. Sure enough, he saw a purple Ran Ran rising in the east until he came to him. It turned out to be an old man with a white beard riding a horned ox. Yin became a fairy teacher, abandoned his official position and became a monk. This is the story of Lao Dan crossing Hangu Pass.
Buddhism, Buddhism and Taoism are homologous in point of view.
Infinity is a Taoist view. However, in the center of the Guanyin Hall in Xige, there is a Buddhist figure Guanyin. There is also a Luohan Cave in the Infinite View, and there are also eighteen Luohan statues of Buddhists in the cave. Four big characters are engraved on the stone wall outside the cave: "Buddhism and Taoism are of the same origin". Why do you worship these Buddhist gods? There are different opinions on this matter. The Liaodong Literature Survey records a story: Luohan Cave was originally carved with eighteen statues of Luohan worshipping Guanyin. When a Taoist priest of Infinite View saw this displeasure, he secretly cut off the head of Guanyin and changed it to the head of Zhenwu Emperor, thus claiming that Luohan Cave belonged to Infinite View. Soon, the Taoist priest suddenly "rotted his neck and died." The rest of the Taoist priests thought that they had violated Guanyin Bodhisattva and were afraid of being dragged down, so they hurriedly rebuilt the Guanyin statue in Xige Hall. There is also a legend that the Taoist priest of Infinite View destroyed the Luohan statue, and the founder Liu Tailin presided over the reconstruction, reconciled with the elders of Zuyue Temple, and wrote "Buddhism and Taoism are homologous" for future generations.
The scenery is infinite.
There are many scenic spots around Infinite View, commonly known as 24 scenic spots, which have now expanded to more than 50 places. Many scenic spots have their own unique interests, and there are many anecdotes and legends to taste, which makes people feel interesting.
Looking around, there are grotesque stones everywhere. In ancient times, people used to tie horses together in Sendai, which is said to be a gathering place for immortals. There are elephant heads, parrots, fish head peaks, parrot stones, and fish eye stones, as well as the "eight-step tight" and "shaking clothes" peaks, which are famous for their risks, and even more, there are "rootless stones" which are on the verge of collapse but have no roots.
"Pingshi" is a huge stone blocking the road on the cliff on the west side of Huang Yu Pavilion. There is a gap between the stones, about 4 meters long, 3 meters high and half a meter wide. Only one person can pass sideways. According to legend, this "flat stone" is seamless. In order to cure his mother's illness, the young Tieer went through all kinds of hardships and climbed to the top of the mountain to collect herbs. Just as he was approaching the top of the mountain, he was blocked by a boulder, and Tieer couldn't help crying. Just then, Long-eyed Big Fairy and Barefoot Big Fairy arrived here. Long-eyed Big Fairy wanted to open the way for the teenagers, but Barefoot Big Fairy refused, and they couldn't stand each other. The long-eyed immortal opened the mountain with a sword wall, and the barefoot immortal jumped up and stamped his foot, and the cracked mountain was closed. However, because the sword was not retracted and the mountain was not sealed tightly, the long-browed immortal left a crack in the middle of the mountain when he drew his sword. Tieer went through the crevice and came to Xianshan. Therefore, the seam is narrow enough for only one person to level it, hence the name "flat clip". "Clip the flat stone" is a unique skill of Qian Shan. There is a local folk song that says, "Babu Mountain is dangerous, so be careful when staying!"! In order to ascend to heaven, I am not afraid of being beaten! "
"Taiji Stone" is located on the mountain ridge at the junction of Wuliangguan and Zuyue Temple. About 3 meters in diameter, shaped like a giant pill, engraved with the words "Taiji Stone" upside down. According to legend, this stone was turned once in 60 years, but it hasn't been turned again since the second year of Daoguang (1822), 170 years. Now the stone is engraved with the words "Daoguang turned over on June 24, 2002". According to the Records of Liaoyang County, in the second year of Daoguang, "the Taiji stone in Qianshan was overturned in June due to strong winds and thunderstorms", which shows that Taiji stone was not overturned regularly, but was caused by strong winds and thunderstorms.
There are four ancient pagodas around Wuguanguan, among which Linglong Pagoda is one of the oldest buildings in Qian Shan. According to legend, it was built in the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda is granite, with a height of12.3m and a hexagonal 13 level. The pagoda is beautiful and spectacular, hidden in the dense pine forest at the southern end of Wuguan Mountain. The Eight Immortals Pagoda, the Ancestral Pagoda and the Gegong Pagoda are all around Jusendai. The Eight Immortals Pagoda was built by Liu Tailin's secular brother for his meditation. It is 13 meters high, with 1 1 hexagonal layers and eight reliefs carved with bricks. It is said that after the tower was completed, Liu Tailin felt that he could not surpass the Eight Immortals, so he didn't use it. In addition, she also built a hexagonal round-pointed granite tower about 3 meters high, that is, the "ancestor tower". Gegong Pagoda is the most exquisite building among the four pagodas. It was donated by General Zhang Xueliang in the early years of the Republic of China. The pagoda is made of fine granite, with a height of 9.75 meters and six angles and seven levels. The tower is inlaid with white stone slabs of the Han Dynasty, which are engraved with paintings and inscriptions of Ge Gong before his death. Ge Gong, whose real name was Yuetan, was the abbot of Taiqing Palace in Shenyang. At that time, he was a Taoist leader in Northeast China and a close friend of Zhang. "Haicheng County Records" contains: "In the late Qing Dynasty, foreigners led by Buddhism and Taoism were affected. Moreover, Nanjing organized a Buddhist Association, and Ge Yuetan, the abbot of Shenyang Taiqing Palace, also launched a Taoist Association, which has been located in Beijing Baiyun Temple. " Ge is versatile, good at calligraphy, good at painting, and especially loves painting.
On the south mountain of Taiji Stone, there is a tall and straight pine tree, nearly 40 meters high and beautifully shaped. It is the tallest pine tree in Qian Shan. "Honesty" has always been the darling of poets and painters, and its shape is beautiful and straight. Affectionate painter Zan Yun: "There are many loyal and loose lovers"; Its quality is positive, and the sentimental poet is chanting: "impartial and towering, straight section is like a jade bamboo shoot." Looking at Long Lin's dusty tail from a distance, people sang lambs and fur coats. "In contrast to the tall and straight pine, there is a small and exquisite pine tree on the cliff on the west side of the main entrance of the martial arts school. Its height does not exceed 100 meters. It is very fragile on the independent steep stone wall, teetering in the wind. It is called "poor pine tree". This wood looks pitiful, but it has amazing vitality. It has stood on this cliff for more than 400 years! Therefore, people often call it "tenacious pine", and the ancients also enthusiastically praised it. " Don't pity Yan Song, the empty mountain has been cultivated for many years. Watching trees destroy axes frequently is really a fairy on the ground. "
Luohan Cave is an ancient natural cave, which is said to exist in the Tang Dynasty. After manual drilling, it became a cave. There are two rows of eighteen arhats carved in the cave, with different expressions, strange expressions and fine carvings. Legend has it that a master in the Qing Dynasty went to Zuyue Temple to give lectures, and the brahmin's words were profound and subtle. Eighteen arhats came to listen to the scriptures, and then Zuyue Temple made a statue in the cave. Once upon a time, there was a statue of Zhenwu Emperor in the middle of the Lohan statue. There are different legends about why Buddhist and Taoist gods live in the same cave. Many stories are caused by the struggle between Wulian Temple and Zuyue Temple. The ancients once questioned in the poem: "Buddhism and Taoism live in the same cave, and spring flowers bloom and fall." Mu Nimu asked Zhen Xuan, and the Eight Lords Huang Ting explained it differently. "
The infinite view of "heaven" is famous far and wide, with thousands of scenic spots. Before the first peak of the elephant, there are thirty-three stone steps built by the mountain. These stone steps are 5 meters wide. From the bottom to the top, you can see it from a distance at every level. It is a new landscape, which can be described as "thirty-three days". There is a poem that says, "Don't be famous for being thirty-three. Come climb the stairs and explore. Look up and try the height, the color is blue. "
On the cliff to the left of "Thirty-three Days", there is "Eight Steps Tight". These are eight footprints carved on the cliff, only enough to hold, amazing. After the "eight-step press", through the "flat stone", another boulder blocked the way. There is an iron ring on the boulder with traces under it. You must use your hands and feet to jump over the boulder, hence the name "one step to heaven" After climbing to the sky, continue to climb to the famous "heaven". This "sky" is a huge rock that rises abruptly from the top of the mountain. It stands tall and climbs to the top of the stone, but when you see the white clouds above and the peaks below, it is like being in the sky.
In the northwest of Crouching Tiger Peak, there is also the famous "first sight". This is a stone pile formed by the collapse of a huge cliff, which is more than 30 meters long, about 16 meters high and nearly 1 meter wide, and looks like an axe. There are 100 multi-stage stone steps under the stone crevice, so go up the stone steps and put them in the stone crevice. Looking up, you can see two cliffs like walls, with a blue sky in the middle, which is strange and spectacular. According to legend, this "first sight" is made by the embroidery needle of Ji Cuixian's daughter embedded in the stone wall.
