The majestic, beautiful and generous ascension landscape is located at the foot of Sikong Sanqing Peak. Before the view, the south water winds out with the valley and passes through the 18 th Bay, which is called "fish bar latch". Opposite Nanshui, there stands a painting peak in front of the view. There are two peaks in front of the case: Purple Cover and Incense burner, and there are two peaks in the case: big and small lotus peaks. It's really "Wangxian Mountain, where is it? See Baiyuntian serving food." Usually there is a way to ask from the beginning, and the thirty-six peaks come on. "The temple is like a beautiful woman. In the mountains, we shouted for a thousand times and urged for a thousand times before she began to walk towards us and gradually appeared in front of tourists.
The concept of Yang Sheng, formerly known as Zhu Yangguan, was founded in the seventh year of Tang Tianbao (708) and is one of the earliest famous concepts in China. Sikong Mountain, written by Wang Tang Ganyou, records that in the middle of the night of May 13th that year, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty dreamed that a man of God, dressed in Xia Hong's clothes, floated down with a waiter and said to the emperor, "I am in Sikong Mountain, Youxian County, South Chu, where the mountains used to be my practice place. Today, I take fairy products as evidence. Every time I think of water and soil, I think of your majesty's protection of the country and the people. There is an altar in the middle, which has been abandoned for many years. Your Majesty is now a wise monarch. Fortunately, the abbot with virtue and morality was chosen as the eternal Lingshan, so that the country could be extended and the people could be blessed. "
The next day, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty felt what he had said in his dream, so he ordered officials to search the country map of the county. He was surprised to learn that at noon on August 15th (503), the second year of Jian 'an in Tian Liang, Youxian County, there was a historical fact that Zhang Bayu of Nanqi was an ordinary family. Then he went down to investigate and went to the Temple of Heaven, a historic site in Sikong Mountain, and stood up. A few months later, the palace was built, and historian Zhang You asked Tang Xuanzong to give him a name. Therefore, this mountain is in the south of Zhuling Cave in Nanyue, and the south of the mountain was the sun in ancient times, so the emperor gave it the name "Zhuyangguan". Later, the court ordered local officials to reclaim 150 mu of land within the scope of the view, and in the name of the emperor, Yin Dachu, Yan Zhenguan, Chen and other Taoist priests were selected as the abbots of the view in Youxian County.
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhuyangguan was destroyed. In the first year of Guangqi (886), Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the restoration. In the third year of Ganning (896), Ma Yin took Changsha as its vassal state, and most of its land was invaded. Yin Qi, the master of Ma Yin's outlook on life, really recovered. Zhu Lingguan rebuilt for the emperor, and his influence is increasing day by day. In the first year of Xining in Song Shenzong (1068), Wu Jushi, the magistrate of Youxian County, visited Zhu Ling Temple with Du. Whenever there was drought or flood in and out of the county, he immediately responded to every prayer and was greatly amazed. He left a poem and praised it as the "Lingshan" where the sun and the moon were silent for a long time and the jade breeze was on credit. During the Northern Song Dynasty, Hui Zong was keen on Taoism, calling himself "Tao Jun". In the third year of Zhenghe (1 1 13), in the spring of March, "the emperor browsed the scriptures, but there were differences, and the relics were abandoned", and Cheng Yuanzuo, the deputy ambassador of Hunan Road, was ordered to come to Youxian to preside over the restoration of Zhuyang Temple. Cheng Yuanzuo ordered Meng Lang Cui Yuan to take charge of the service, and the magistrate Gu of Youxian County was responsible for the logistics for the needs of all the workers. All expenses are provided by the emperor. After the restoration, the scale of the palace temple is brilliant. According to Cheng Yuanzuo's Ascension to Heaven, the Light Hall has 1 10 pillars, and its palaces and pavilions, green tiles and bamboo trees are resplendent. Song Huizong attached the myth of Zhang rising in the daytime, and Yu Bi changed Zhu Yang's concept of "Yang Sheng". On July 5th and August 25th of the same year, Zhang was named "Tai Su Real Person" and promoted to "Tai Su Real Person". In late September, when the Guan Gong Building was completed, the emperor presented a copy of Taitung Zhenjing as a treasure of the town. As Cheng Yuanzuo said in Ji, the emperor "changed his name to burn his temple; Sign' worship of saints' to worship its way; Give Taitung Zhen Jing a sign. " It is said that on the day when the new concept was successful, "domestic officials, large and small, people in the city, helping the old and young, scrambling to fill the valley, cheering enthusiastically and expecting happiness" was unprecedented.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Xiaoxiang, an Anhui native who won the top prize in the 24th year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong (1 154), heard that he was promoted to the title of title, and then he came to Youxian County with the secretary supervisor. Seeing that Guanshan is surrounded by clear water, the scenery is beautiful, the palace is magnificent, the incense is strong, and Zhang Xiaoxiang's book style is flourishing, and he wrote Yang Sheng.
The Records of Youxian County records the story of Zhang Xiaoxiang and Yi Jian's calligraphy. Unfortunately, it has been a long time, and the plaque of Bo Jin Shen Guan and the original works of Zhang Yi are no longer visible. However, the reputation of "the first mountain pass in the world" has spread far from now on. The concept of Yang Sheng is obvious because of commonness, and it is spiritual because of commonness. Why do people have such a soft spot for Zhang? Words still have to start with Zhang Qiguan becoming a monk.
Liang Yansheng recorded in Shuo Wen Jie Zi that his surname was Zhang and his name was Ba Yu, and he was from Qinghe County (now Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province). Some people say that he is from Fengchuan County in Lingnan. When Emperor Qi Ming was emperor, his official position was common (one of the three public offices, in charge of water and soil and construction projects). After Xiao Baojuan succeeded to the throne in the East Palace, she was politically corrupt and wanton, harming others and herself. Zhang Bayu retired because he was dissatisfied with tyranny. Then take the whole family to visit famous mountains and places of interest in the world. When I first arrived at Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue, I heard that there was Qilin Mountain in Youxian County because I didn't want to communicate with the secular. This is where Su lived in seclusion in the Han Dynasty. I suddenly admired driving Lin's car to heaven during the day. So along the Xiangjiang River, I went back to the river, patrolled the river, went south with all my money, and came to Qilin Mountain. I saw mountains and green hills, strange peaks and cold springs. I was amazed and declared, "This is enough to make me happy!" " He ordered the workers to build more than 30 houses between ten miles of mountains for a family of more than 80 people. Today, he also built an altar in front of the Ascension Temple, and built a house to practice Buddhism. He recited Chapter 39 of Zhen Jing in Taitung in the morning and evening, which was a wonderful use of nourishing the heart and benefiting qi. Ge Hongzi also taught the golden liquid tactic, made it into a cauldron, collected medicine and made an alchemy to save the world. His spiritual experience can be called turning stone into gold. In the last year of Liang dynasty (5 19), on the evening of the seventh day of August, a man of god came to the altar to make a preliminary examination, saying that Zhang Bayou had been helping the poor and the sick for twenty years, and the Emperor of Heaven ordered him to bathe on August 15th. On August 15, if god comes to meet, the whole family will leave Lu Qiong, the maid, to guard the altar, and more than 80 people will ascend to heaven. Qilin Mountain was later changed to Sikong Mountain.
Zhang became a fairy, and naturally he didn't eat fireworks. However, his deeds of seeking honesty as an official and living in seclusion to help the poor are well known. The feudal emperors of past dynasties also attached great importance to it. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Xianfeng added the title of "protecting the real person" because of Zhang's great contribution to maintaining local public order and eliminating locusts and disasters. After being sealed by the emperor for three times, he is unique among Chinese immortals, which makes Zhang's fame bigger and bigger, and the influence of ascension concept is increasing day by day. People remember him, worship him, and build palaces to serve him where he ascended to heaven. Every August 15, Changshengguan holds a grand temple fair, and tens of thousands of pilgrims from three provinces and seven counties come to worship one after another. People praise Sikong, praise Sikong, praise Sikong, pay tribute to Sikong's remains and carry forward Sikong's spirit, which has become a fashion and has been circulated for a long time. "The famous mountains and blessed places should be rare, the buildings are towering and leaning against the green, the ancient caves are deep and dragon-shaped, and the old pine smoke flies back." This is a famous poem written by Wang Wei, assistant minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.
After the Tang and Song Dynasties, different dynasties resumed the concept that the sun be the spirit ascended to heaven. The Records of Chuyou Sikong Mountain contains the first year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1368), the fifth year of apocalypse (1625), the eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1669), the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804) and the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang (/kloc).
The whole palace is east by south 15 degrees. Entering the territory of Health Pass, two Chuanmen stand in front of you. The eastern part "Daotong Heaven and Earth" and the western plaque "Daoguan Ancient and Modern" take you into the Taoist world.
Climbing up the steps from the door is the mountain gate. The design of the 31 ST and a half stone steps is unique, which is said to be consistent with the geographical location of Youxian County, which was established as the 31 ST and a half capital at that time (including the county seat as a half capital). On the lintel of the mountain gate, the word "Yang Shengguan" is written in bold font. With a pair of door couplets on both sides:
Following the sage of Scott, abandoning vulgarity as immortal, the Taoist tradition is eternal, and the Taoist face is eternal;
Save suffering with great compassion, save suffering with great compassion, there is only one God in the South China Sea, and there is only one God in the South China Sea.
The couplet is meaningful and profound, which summarizes Zhang's historical position and compassion spirit, and it is embarrassing to read.
Climb over the seven stone steps symbolizing seven counties around Youxian County and enter the front hall. The statue of the protector is magnificent and daunting.
From the front hall to the middle hall, there are three stone steps, symbolizing Hunan, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. The nave is a statue, and the couplets on the eaves column are:
During the day, he led more than 80 people in his family to heaven. He is a wise god and a living Buddha, and his unique Gankun will last forever.
Then all my thirty-one years old were CoCo Lee, a famous minister and a Neo-Confucianism, which added a lot of color to later generations.
Couplets celebrate Zhang's career.
The back hall is Sanqing Hall, and there are three earthen altars in front, which have been rising for people to pay their respects. It is said that there are three ancient Chinese fir trees in front of the altar. Hundreds of years later, the branches of Chinese fir all produce five-color lotus flowers, which is auspicious and wishful.
The architectural art of Yangshengguan is a must. The palace building is antique and unique, and the sculptures are even more eye-catching. Cai Feng on the theater floor, eager to fly; The deer is running on the eaves column, showing its feet and trying to soar. Painted relief, mostly fish, insects and flowers; The ceiling is full of people's stories, showing the charm of the combination of artistic architecture and natural environment. Looking at this picture, everyone craned their necks to admire.
Located at the foot of Shandong, Guan is known as the gateway. Sikong is a natural tourist destination with dozens of miles of square space, towering peaks, dense bamboo and trees, fragrant flowers and birds. Among them, 36 peaks, 18 streams, 13 streams,1caves, 12 stone chambers and other landscapes are fascinating. There are Zhang's medicinal materials, alchemy and cultivation relics around Yangshengguan, such as Sanqing Peak, Chaoshou Stone, Medicine Washing Pool, Hot Springs, Phoenix Creek and alchemy Pool. Thousands of years have passed, and these remains are still different. Phoenix creek has phoenix birds singing; The stone chessboard still exists; Hot spring water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the pool is full of Gracilaria lemaneiformis and five-color hibiscus flowers in Chiba. The water in the medicine washing pool is as clear as a mirror, and the lotus peanuts are in the water, with five colors for each flower; There is a mortar in the medicine-smelting rock, and the bottom of the mortar is reddish, and the medicine gas is always fragrant; The four-hole pool is connected by the word "pin", in which the water in the second pool is warm in winter and cool in summer, and the water in the first pool is often cool in winter and summer ... Good mountains, good water and good popularity have attracted countless poets and poets from ancient and modern times to visit, visit and recite poems. As Peng Tianyi said in Song Dynasty:
Suspected support is to go to the rooftop, and Yunsuo Rock is the first to open it.
I couldn't visit my son-in-law, so I drifted to Dan Tai.
The vines are all in the sky, and the mountains and rivers are always cut.
The legacy of the immortal family is still there, and Penglai can't be in the late Qing Dynasty. In the concept of Ascension, there is an article "Rebuilding the Three Exquisites of Ascension", written by Song, a scholar in this county, and Peng Tianyi, a doctor from imperial academy. In the epitaph, Peng added three wonders that Cheng Yuanzuo did not mention in his architectural view.
First, there is a shrine for Lu Qiong and his wife to worship their idols in the north of Yangshengguan. In the early days of Cheng Yuanzuo's architecture, he had a dream, a small temple. A woman (Lu Qiong) came out and said to him, "I have lived here for a long time, please don't move." Cheng Yuanzuo is very strange. Soon, the person in charge of temple construction asked Cheng for instructions to move the gods in the small temple in the north of the mountain into the temple. Cheng immediately promised, but when he arrived at Lushi Temple, he saw that it was exactly the same as what he dreamed of last night, so he decided not to move and ordered people to renovate the temple.
Second, on the evening of August 18 of that year, hundreds of workers' apprentices witnessed the celestial "Xingguan, Scarlet Clothes and Zhulu" worshipping in the Denggao Temple and burning incense in the furnace. There is no fire in the stove, but cigarettes are fragrant. After a while, it rose to the shrine of real people and lost its people.
Third, the temple was built and held a ceremony for seven days and seven nights. September 29th was chosen as the beginning of the event. It has been raining for ten days. On the opening day, it suddenly cleared up. "Among the peaks, the clouds and the sun are colorful, and rare birds gather together and rest together." At night, the stars were shining and the wind was blowing hard. Everyone thought it was a real crane coming to the court to visit the emperor's ceremony of worshiping Taoism and truth.
The story of "three unique" has been loved by people so far. The stele of Ascension to Heaven and the stele of Rebuilding Ascension to Heaven are both listed in the view for people to read, and their inscriptions are also included in You County Records.
