History of Fuzhou Wushishan Scenic Area
What many people don’t know is that Fuzhou is also called “Three Mountains”, which is taken from the collective name of the three mountains in Fuzhou. These three mountains are Yushan, Wushishan and Pingshan, among which Wushishan is the highest among the three mountains.
Wushi Mountain is also known as Wushi Mountain, Snake Dance Mountain, and Daoshan Mountain. According to legend, the Nine Immortals of the He family climbed to the top of the Double Ninth Festival in the Han Dynasty, stretched their bows and shot crows, and they landed on this mountain, hence its name. Located on the west side of Nanmendou in the center of Fuzhou, alongside Yushan and Pingshan, it is one of Fuzhou's landmark buildings, "Three Mountains and Two Towers". Its height is the first of the three mountains, with an altitude of 86.3 meters and a total area of ??27.3 hectares. Currently, Wushan’s scenic area open for sightseeing is 11 hectares.
On July 20, 2015, the scenic spot consisting of Wushan Historical Scenic Area, Three Lanes and Seven Lanes, and Lin Zexu Memorial Hall passed the national examination evaluation and was successfully promoted to a 5A-level scenic spot. To the south of Wushan is the Fuzhou Municipal Party Committee and Government Office Area, and to the north is connected to the "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys". However, many tourists ignore the beautiful scenery of this busy city after visiting the Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, which is a pity.
Since the Tang Dynasty, Wushan has been a famous attraction in Fuzhou. According to relevant historical records, there are 36 strange and 55 scenic spots in Wushan. The scenic spots in Wushan include Wushi Pagoda, ancient temples, Daoshan Pavilion, Stone Forest Garden, Shibi Guanyin, Lingxiao Tower, etc. There are many scenic spots in the surrounding area. This "First Mountain" stone carving is said to be the original work of Mi Fu, a great calligrapher of the Song Dynasty. It is an exquisite hairpin.
Since the Song Dynasty, Fuzhou people have planted banyan trees inside and outside the city. The city is covered with green shade, so Fuzhou is also called "Rong City", and the banyan tree has become the city tree of Fuzhou. The banyan trees on Wushan Mountain are huge and tall. Not a few people can hug a centuries-old banyan tree. They are lush and green, and each tree is graceful and graceful, blocking the sunlight. It really corresponds to the saying that "predecessors planted trees for future generations to enjoy the shade".
At the eastern foot of Wushan Scenic Area, stands a tall stone tower, far opposite the White Tower at the western foot of Shanxi. It is one of the famous landmark buildings "Twin Towers" in Fuzhou. It is also one of the few stone pagodas with pavilions and pavilions from the Five Dynasties in the country, and has become the historical and cultural business card of Fuzhou. The pagoda is built of bluestone. Because of its age, it is also called the Wu pagoda.
The Wu Tower is 35 meters high and has a seven-story octagonal tower. It was built by Wang, the seventh son of King Min during the Five Dynasties. The eaves of the tower are built using the overlapping technique. When you come to Uta, you can see that the tower body is slightly tilted, and there are reliefs or stone carvings on each tower wall. These statues are outstanding representatives of Fujian sculpture art in the Five Dynasties. They are very precious and have high historical, cultural and architectural value. They are national key cultural relics protection units.
There are temples, monasteries, pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions and other places of interest on the mountain, as well as many commemorative ancestral halls built in the past dynasties, such as the ancestral hall in memory of Song Dynasty Dynasty, Qi Jiguang, Yu Qiyu's second ancestral hall, The Nine Immortals Temple commemorates nine famous scholars in Fujian Province, including You Zuo, Huan Guo, Luo Wei, Cai Wen, Cai Shen, and Zhen Xiude.
A black stone mountain, half of the history of calligraphy. Walking through the mountains, the most attractive thing are the hundreds of cliff carvings from the Tang and Song Dynasties to the present. As the saying goes, there is no mountain
Among the many stone carvings, the oldest and most precious seal script "Prajna Terrace" by the Tang Dynasty calligrapher Li is one of the only four remaining seal scripts of Li in China. It has a history of more than 1,200 years. According to "Fuzhou City Chronicles", this is the earliest cliff stone inscription in central Fujian, and together with Chuzhou Xintie, Jinyun City God's Temple, and Lishui Wanghuitai stele, it is also known as the best seal script in the world. It is a pity that it was destroyed during the "Cultural Revolution". In 1982, the Fuzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Management Committee re-engraved the original rubbings under the cold platform.
What pushed Wushan's reputation to a climax was an article "Daoshan Pavilion" written by Zeng Gong, one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties". "" is a famous work written by Zeng Gong in Mingzhou in the second year of Yuanfeng (1079). It was widely recited at that time, and Daoshan Pavilion became famous far and wide, and it still exists today.
The jagged rocks on Wushan Mountain are lifelike and the mountain is quiet, so it is known as the "Penglai Wonderland". There are four pavilions in Wushan: Daoshan Pavilion, Shuxian Pavilion, Gongli Pavilion and Youyou Pavilion. Daoshan Pavilion is on the left side of the Wushishan Sky Car Platform. Looking down into the pavilion, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Haimen scenery. Daoshan Pavilion and Gongli Pavilion are good places to enjoy the entire mountain view.
Compared with the crowds of famous mountains, it is quieter here. For those who don't like the hustle and bustle, this is a great place for a leisurely stroll. The sky and the earth are long, ancient and modern blend together, standing in front of mountains, rocks and trees. Did intellectuals in the past stop at meditating? Things are different now, but also awkward.
