Climbing the ancient road is an ancient way to climb Gushan. Climb more than 2,000 steps from the lower house at the foot of the mountain, and then pass the "Qiting Qili Road" to reach the mountain gate of Yongquan Temple. The first pavilion is the "East Pole Pavilion". Across the courtyard is the East Pole Bridge. After the pavilion, we will start climbing the mountain. Climb the 99 stone steps to "Yangzhi Pavilion". Since then, many inscriptions have appeared on the rocks. The second pavilion is "Shimen Pavilion", which is named "Tingtao Guanwaterfall Pavilion" because of the continuous stream here. The third pavilion is "Riding the Cloud Pavilion", along which there are stone carvings such as "Riding the Cloud", "Yang Tao", "Drum", "The Wind Blows Dreams" and "The Wind Furies and Waves Fly". The fourth pavilion is called "Mid-Levels Pavilion". From the third pavilion to this point, there are 494 steps. The pavilion is named because it is located in Ban Ling. More than a hundred steps past this pavilion, there is a stone carving "Lutong Fairy Garden", and the path can reach the "eighteen holes view". There is a stone carving "Yan Tao Cave" behind "Banshan Pavilion". To the east, you can go to Yan Taodong and Taohua Jingshe.
The fifth pavilion is the "Tea Pavilion", which is named after the tea garden near the pavilion. There are stone carvings such as "I can't stop" and "I want to struggle" on the roadside. It is said that Li Bo, the magistrate of Fuzhou in Qing Dynasty, climbed the mountain here, panting. Going up, the strength is not enough; Go back, the heart is unwilling. Then I wrote the inscription "I can't stop" on the stone next to the pavilion.
The sixth pavilion is "Songguan Pavilion", and there is a stone carving of "Longevity", "Dragon" and "Tiger" nearby, as well as "Loyalty and filial piety" written by Wen Tianxiang.
The seventh pavilion is the "dressing pavilion". Just a few dozen steps past the "Songguan Pavilion". Legend has it that the king of Fujian went up the mountain and entered the temple to change clothes here. After climbing the mountain, I'm sweating like a pig. I'm too cold at the top and need to change clothes.
Cliff stone carvings are a major feature of isolated mountain, which can be seen everywhere, and many of them are inscriptions by celebrities in past dynasties. According to statistics, there are more than 300 cliff stone carvings in Gushan, and there are as many as 100 in the Song Dynasty. It can be seen that as early as the Song Dynasty, Gushan was a place for literati to enjoy the scenery.
The earliest extant inscription is the inscription of Cai Xiang and others on the east wall of Lingyuan Cave at 1046, which reads: "Shao Quhua, Su Caiweng, Guo Shiqi and Cai Yubing visited Lingyuan Cave for eight days."
Cai is Cai Xiang, who was from Fuzhou at that time. Cai Xiang is one of the four great calligraphers in Song Dynasty. On one wall, there are three characters "Forgot to return to the stone", which was inscribed by Cai Xiang. Cai Xiang's inscription is regarded as a treasure of calligraphy.
Zhu, a famous Neo-Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty, also left handwriting in Gushan, and the four characters of "Tianfeng Haitao" on Dafeng Rock were written by Zhu. Zhu also wrote a huge "longevity" carved on the drinking water rock wall, which is a rare Chinese character carved on Cliff in Fujian.
Wei Jie, a Daoguang poet in the Qing Dynasty, compiled eighteen scenes according to the natural scenery and folklore here, and carved them on a rock wall outside Damo Cave. They are Dharma Face Wall, Ascending to the South Pole, Fairy Ape Keeping Gorge, Ancient Crane Nest Cloud, Fairy Giant Monument, Manshou, Flat Peach Full Dock, Jade Bamboo Shoots into Forest, Ants Crossing the Tide, Fishing Lights Shining, and Lions Playing with the Ball.
Leaning against the wooden railing, you can see the night view of Rongcheng, and the cool breeze blows gently, making people feel like they are in a fairyland. This is a newly-built observation deck with Gushan 18 scenic spots. The observation deck was built on Gushan Mountain, adjacent to the sister building, and made of imported hemlock after anti-corrosion treatment. Antique, strong and beautiful.
On the east side of the mountain gate of Yongquan Temple, there is a stone archway that reads "Deep in the Spirit Source". Down the stone steps next to the cliff, there is a stream in the middle and a cave like a stone, hence the name "Lingyuan Cave". Because of the "drinking water rock" stone carving, this area is also collectively called "drinking water rock".
Baiyun Cave is located on the west side of the pool lake in the north peak of Gushan Mountain. Because the cave is more than 700 meters above sea level, it is often called "Baiyun Cave".
Moxi Scenic Area is located in Kuaian Village on the east side of Gushan Mountain in Fuzhou. Formerly known as Longxi, it originated in Gushan. Because of its rich water resources, in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, there were mills everywhere along the stream, hence the name "Moxi".
The stream sometimes twists and turns and sometimes pours down. People walk on stones, and water flows along them. The rocks, large and small, in the stream are washed clean by the stream, and the constantly flowing water makes various sounds of water drops, including the sound of piano, gong and drum. In particular, Longtan is deep, the water color is transparent, the spring water falls from a height, and the sound is more crisp.
Entering the mountain along the stream, the two mountains are far away from each other, and the Gaoshan village and tea garden on Dongshan are like a family. A rock on the other side of the stream looks like a shamao, and there is a banyan tree on it, called shamaotan. Another stream in the east, the spring water keeps flowing down from the Gaoshan village, passing through the overlapping rock layers, forming a beautiful picture. On the west side of Moxi, there is a group of caves made of rocks along the road, engraved with "Longxi Monument". The mouth of the cave is engraved with "inaction"
After crossing Moxi, a path can climb the hillside. A rock beside the road is like the intersection stream of Singles Tsing Yi, and the rock is engraved with "Worship to Nangong Stone". There is also a millstone beside the stream, which used to be the place where the water truck was released. Later, a dam was built here and turned into a small reservoir.
Today, Moxi has become the most mature outdoor natural rock climbing site in Fujian Province. It can be said that Fuzhou Moxi Scenic Area is one of the few mature natural rock climbing places in China.
Yongquan Temple is located on a lonely mountain, and it still maintains the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. The temple is surrounded by mountains and valleys, and the sills and corridors are connected. There are 25 large and small halls around the Ursa Major Hall. The Great Hall of Heroes stands tall, with huge columns flying over the eaves, magnificent and brilliant. In the temple, Buddha Sakyamuni III sat in it, wearing only Hanfu, not Brahma. Eighteen arhats on both sides have different expressions, "solemn method".
At the back of the main hall, there is a statue of "Three Icons". There is a long table made of mulberry in front of the statue. It is said that it has experienced many fires and is still intact. Known as the treasure of the town temple.
Yongquan Temple was once an important publishing institution of Confucian classics in China Temple, and now it still retains more than 20,000 woodcuts from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and modern times. In Buddhist temples, there are all kinds of Buddhist scriptures printed in ancient books, handwritten scriptures and Mahayana Prajna Paramita Sutra written in blood.
In the center of the Buddhist sutra hall, there is a stupa of NiGu Mei Lingya. There are only three relics and Buddha's teeth left in the pagoda. Behind the tower is a white marble reclining Buddha statue sent by Myanmar. The Buddha's body is symmetrical and serene, which is said to be the shape of Sakyamuni when he died. There are hundreds of turtles and red carp in the release pond, and the largest turtle is thousands of years old. There is also a tall dripping Buddha statue in the release pool, and the holy water bottle in Guanyin's hand can flow out of holy water.
