The famous Longshou Mountain, with a glimpse of the city wall in the west and Chaihe River in the east, winds for more than ten miles, running through the north and south of Yinzhou, like a flying dragon. Here in spring, the mountain flowers are blooming and the fragrance is intoxicating; In midsummer, the grass is green and the birds are singing. Autumn pine and cypress are vigorous, and the red leaves are full of mountains; It snowed heavily in the middle of winter, and it was all white. The beautiful natural scenery of the four seasons is in harmony with the pavilions, terraces, buildings and pavilions in the mountains, which makes the whole Longshou Mountain Scenic Area full of poetry and painting.
From the north of the mountain, that is, in the direction of the dragon head, along a path paved with blue bricks, the first thing you see is Ciqing Temple. Ciqing Temple has a long history. There are some nuns living there, and the fragrance is very strong. People often come here to burn incense and pray. It is said to be very effective. The whole temple consists of the main hall, the east-west attached hall and the drunken mansion, forming a quadrangle. There are Tathagata and Guanyin statues in Ursa Hall, and a Ursa Hall on the west side is Sanqingguan Temple. There are Jade Qing statues, Buddha statues without beginning, Buddha statues with Shangqingbao and old gentleman with Taiqing in the hall. Zuiwenglou is a place where ancient local officials and gentry drank and enjoyed the scenery. In 1930s, the abbot of Ciqing Temple once retrieved a set of Tripitaka from Japan and hid it in this building, so it was also called the Tripitaka Pavilion. Standing in Ciqing Temple, looking to the northeast, on the vast Yuan Ye as far as the eye can see, an icy Chaihe River, like a white hada, is as far as the eye can see, and the vast peaks in the distance are also wrapped in silver. Looking up at the blue sky, several birds circled overhead.
Not far from Ciqing Temple is Xiufeng Pagoda. On both sides of Xiufeng Pagoda, there is a brick-carved Buddha statue and a big word, namely, "Good weather, peaceful country and people". A gust of wind blew through several small bells hanging on the octagonal pagoda, making a tinkling sound. Behind the tower is the Xixin Pavilion, and the turtle-carrying stone tablet in the pavilion records the historical facts of the construction of Xiufeng Tower and Xixin Pavilion. The beams in the pavilion are painted with the graceful posture of Longshan Scenic Area. A couplet on the pavilion column reads "The scenery here is beautiful and the spring water is always clear", echoing Didi Cuiting from a distance. Walking south along the mountain road is the Kuixing Building, which was built in the 1970s, opposite the Triangle Pavilion. The stone tablet in the pavilion records the brief introduction of the sequel to A Dream of Red Mansions and the life of Gao, a famous finger painting master.
In the middle of Longshou Mountain is Bajing Square, which was just rebuilt last year. There is a stone tablet in the square, engraved with the poem of the Prime Minister. "Dajiangdong to sing, so the poor, ten years to break the wall. The sea is hard to cook without rice. " There are many tourists in the square. Some people are reading murals and poems about the eight major landscapes, others are walking and chatting, and others get together in twos and threes to play cards around the stone table. There are more than a dozen old people playing the piano and singing on the wide platform under the Eight Scenes Gallery, entertaining themselves.
Go south after crossing the Star Bridge, and near the end of the mountain is Siwangge, which was built in the 1980s. As the name implies, you can have a panoramic view of the whole city by climbing the Siwangge. At the end of the mountain stands a garrison tower and a big stone about two meters high, which was built in the early 1990s. The stone is engraved with the hymn of "the grass is greener after the rain and the mountain is redder at sunrise" left by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty when he passed by here. Under the tower is an artificial stone forest, which people call a residential garden. On the east side of the residential garden is People's Park, which is also a playground for children. A rainbow bridge connects Weilong Mountain and the mountains on the other side of the highway.
The vegetation in Longshou Mountain is well protected, and there are many kinds of trees, especially apricot trees, which grow in every corner of the mountain. Until the middle and late April of each year, apricot blossoms are in full bloom and spectacular. Around the beginning of June, lilacs and flowers are in full bloom all over the valley. The red maple trees in autumn and October decorate Longshou Mountain with colorful colors. Now Longshou Mountain has been covered with snow, and the tall pine branches are covered with a thick layer of snow. As Chen Yi wrote in his poem, "The pine and cypress are tall and straight under the heavy snow. You know, it is noble, noble to melt. "
I love my hometown, and I love Longshou Mountain in my hometown even more.
