The human history of Longmen in Kunming

From forty-six years of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty (178 1 year) to sixty years of Qianlong (1795), Wu Laiqing, a poor Taoist who was born in Xiacun, dug a passage from a strange cave to an old stone room with a hammer and a drill. This stone road twists and turns, and suddenly becomes clear, leading to the ancient stone room. Wu Laiqing embossed a picture of Cai Feng on the eaves of the stone room, and Yun Teng danced the phoenix, so this stone room was called Phoenix Cave. The north side of the stone chamber is engraved with three characters of blue sea; On the south side, Fu's cursive couplets at the end of Ming Dynasty are engraved: a fast-flying rainy road; Thousands of trees are scattered in the shade. The north and south walls of the stone chamber are engraved with four characters, namely, the sea of clouds and the stone forest. The main wall is embedded with a farewell picture of Dianchi Lake, and other poems are engraved on six sides.

On the south side of Phoenix Cave's room, there is a small stone cave, and there is a small pavilion next to the cave called Laojun Hall. Then Wu Laiqing continued to dig a stone road from Fenghuang Cave to the south. At the entrance, Putuo Shengjing Square was built at the entrance of the cave and entered the square in a spiral shape. Only one person can cross the stone road. When they meet, they need to make way sideways. There are stone windows along the stone road and you can see the lake. The stone is more than 40 meters long and reaches Ciyun Cave in Xinshishi. The statue, altar, incense burner, and threshold carved by Wu Laiqing are all carved from the original stone. The indoor column is engraved with couplets inscribed by Yang Changchun: Stone is now Putuo, and the 500-mile Dianchi Lake belongs to the Buddha Sea; To help people board the other shore, I hope a thousand pairs of saints can do their best.

Wu Laiqing worked hard for fourteen years. Open the stone, the project is arduous.

During the reign of Guanggengzi in the Qing Dynasty (1840), Yang Rulan followed Wu Laiqing and dug Yunhua Cave south together with Ciyun Cave for nine years to overlook Dianchi Lake. The ingenious planning and strange carving of Yunhua Cave ... are all well received. After Yang Rulan organized the opening of Yunhua Cave, his son, Yang Weixiucai, presided over the steep cliff cave and completed the Datiange project until it was completed in the third year of Xianfeng (1853).

Longmen and Datian Pavilion connect the sky and face the cliff. On both sides of the stone pavilion, calligrapher Zhao Heqing carved couplets in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China: it is difficult to stand firm; In the middle of nowhere, you'd better keep calm. Looking at Longmen Stone Carvings, Stone Chambers and Cliff Stone Carvings, we can see that many inscriptions left by literati in past dynasties are treasures of calligraphy and Cliff Stone Carvings. Longmen Grottoes are listed as key cultural relics protection units in Kunming. Sanqing Pavilion, at the southern foot of Taihua Mountain, is two kilometers away from Taihua Temple. Luohan Mountain is connected to Meinv Peak and Taihua Peak in the north and Guabang Mountain cliff in the south. Under the cliff is the vast Dianchi Lake. There are steep cliffs and rugged peaks here, during which pine and cypress are vigorous and mountain flowers are brilliant. Sanqing Pavilion's nine-story eleven-pavilion buildings are patchwork. It was built on the cliff between Luohan Mountain and Guabang Mountain. It is more than 300 meters away from the surface of Dianchi Lake, and it feels like a mirage and a castle in the air.

During the reign of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, Mu donated money to rebuild the boundless Zen master. During Zheng De's reign in the Ming Dynasty, a pure monk married Zhuo Xi here, named Haiya Temple and Amiaoding Temple. Li Yingju, a villager from Ferry, donated money to expand Haiya Temple and build Maitreya Hall. Haiya Temple is also called Luohan Temple because there are rocks hanging in the air like Luohan. During Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, Luohan Temple fell, and Taoist Zhao Lian opened a Taoist temple in Luohan Mountain. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake recorded the grand occasion of the north and south halls of Luohan Temple in detail: the north hall includes Lingguan Hall, Chunyang Building, Xuandi Hall, Huangyuge and Baoyi Palace, all facing the east and embedded in the cliff. In the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong (1790), Taoist priests Yang and He Laikun raised funds to add and repair, and changed their names to Yuhuangge. During the light years of the Qing Dynasty, the Lingguan Hall and Huangyu Pavilion were rebuilt, and the Doum Hall and Taiqing Palace were added. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Sanqing Pavilion maintained its original Taoist architectural style after many renovations. During the sweeping of four old houses from 65438 to 0966, most of the statues in Sanqing Pavilion temples were destroyed, and only the statues of Wang Lingguan and his entourage in Lingguang Hall remained. After 1972, all temples in Qingge were restored. 1984 newly excavated Luohanya return air tunnel. 1999 build a bypass trail of more than 300 meters in Sanqing Pavilion.
