According to legend, an old man who dug a "wooden stick" heard the sound in Maoershan, next to the crack on the south slope. He looked into the gap and saw a golden pony pulling a stone mill, all of which were golden beans. But the gap is too narrow for him to get in. He was in a whirl of anxiety. The next day, he invited some friends and relatives to visit the mountain, but the stone had been sewn, so they had to go home disappointed. The story reached the ears of a southern treasure hunter. He has a pair of eyes and can see the ground three feet away. He came to the mountain and looked through the stone. Sure enough, how could he open the crack in the stone? He searched the mountain all day and found nothing. But he didn't lose heart. One day, he walked into the yard of an old vegetable farmer at the foot of the mountain and saw a big green melon with green leaves and two big green melons hanging on the shelf. He was so happy that he paid the old man a large sum of money to buy it, saying that he could not pick melons until he came back. When the first frost came, the old man was afraid of getting cold, so he picked the melon and put it away. Soon the treasure hunter came back to have a look and complained quickly. It turns out that those two big melons are the keys to open the cracks in the stone. But he still wouldn't give up, so he took two big melons to the gap in the mountain. He picked one up first and knocked it three times in the gap. The melons were all broken and the mountain didn't open. He picked up the other one and knocked it in the crack. He knocked the second time, the gap moved and closed, and the melon was broken again. Just then, there was a loud bang and water gushed from the north of the mountain. When the man saw something bad, he fled without a trace. Later, several experienced people heard that Maoer Mountain is a sacred mountain in a corner of the East China Sea. Afraid of big trouble, they built a temple at the foot of the mountain called "Taihe Palace". Burning incense and chanting every day, at four o'clock, the water keeps flowing into the Ashe River, and this place has become a well-known old ditch.
Second, the legend of Maoershan Laodao Cave:
Maoershan is a famous Taoist mountain in the north of Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a Taoist ten-square jungle Taoist temple ranked third in the country, was built. Before this, Taoist practitioners on Maoer Mountain have recorded that the famous "Northern Road" is immortal here. In addition, there are two Taoist relics in Maoershan, one is Laodaogou, and the other is Laodaodong full of magical colors. There have been myths and legends about Laodaogou and Laodaodong in Maoershan. According to legend, a long time ago, in a village at the foot of Maoer Mountain, a Taoist priest came and wandered around, unable to live there. Idle around all day, drink and eat meat, and don't behave. Over time, the villagers became accustomed to it. One day, a family in the village married a bride, and the Taoist priest went to hold a wedding banquet as usual. When the bride got off the sedan chair, the Taoist suddenly picked up the bride and ran away. Angry villagers helped the old people and followed them with young people. The Taoist priest walked lightly and went straight to the top of the mountain with his bride in his arms. When the villagers chased them halfway up the mountain, the Taoist priest took the bride's room and waved to the village. The villagers all looked back and saw flash floods that had flooded the whole village. After everyone's shock subsided, they realized that it was the Taoist priest who saved the life of the whole village. Find the Taoist again. The Taoist is gone.
Later, the villagers thought that the Taoist priest was a god sent by heaven to save them, and looked around to repay them. Finally, they found a cave in the ravine frequented by Taoist priests, which contained traces of Taoist life. In memory of this Taoist priest, the local people call this ravine Laodaogou and this cave Laodaodong. There is a gap at the top of the cave, which runs all the year round, and the water quality is clear. There is a trough under the water, which does not dry up or overflow, and still maintains its original appearance, which is very amazing. According to legend, Taoist priests have been practicing here for many years to cultivate children's beauty. At that time, people felt very strange and speculated. Some people say that the old road has ascended to heaven, and some people say that the old road travels around the world to save the suffering people. There is a gap next to the cave, which runs all the year round and the water quality is clear and mellow. It seems that in order to match the charm of this flowing water, the clouds on the top of the mountain often wander mysteriously and change many shapes.
Interpretation of Cliff Stone Carvings in Maoershan Scenic Area
Clear-eyed: refers to judging things accurately and distinguishing right from wrong; In addition, other meanings include looking to the future and broadening one's horizons. It is the first cliff stone carving on Quanfu Road. In addition, on the mountain road ahead, we will see more masterpieces by famous artists. The original authors of these stone carvings are famous calligraphers and French masters. The French mage is a student of Mr. Zhao Puchu, President of the Chinese Buddhist Association. Currently, he is the vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association, the abbot of backstage Zhao Pu Temple and the president of Zhao Puchu Zen Painting and Calligraphy Institute. His representative works, Benevolence and the Unity of Heaven and Man, have a lofty position in the calligraphy circle of China. On the way to the front of the mountain, let's have a look at the master's calligraphy. Asking for directions: Quanfu Road is the way to practice and be an official. Life has experienced constant practice, constant accumulation, constant search, asking yourself, asking the world, asking all beings, and the process of growth is the process of asking for directions. Stand at attention: by opposing evil, cultivate a correct outlook on life, world outlook and values. It plays a vital role in the growth of life. I wish everyone can find the right direction in life and live a happy life. Going straight to the top of the mountain: When we arrived here, we experienced the hardships and obstacles of mountain roads, understood the beautiful mountains, and were quite close to success. Courage, victory and success have beckoned to us. Shore: Looking back is the shore. When we reach a new height in life and look back, we can clearly remember the eventful years in the past. What matters at this moment is not the height, but that we have fully enjoyed this unforgettable process, and the bright light of dreams illuminates the way forward for us. Flexibility: If you are in trouble, you can change it, and if you change it, you can get through. The essence of China culture is also reflected in the word "soft". We have never lived an easy life. Only with more methods and attitudes to solve problems can we look more relaxed. Haitian Straight Road: Through our unremitting efforts, our life journey has now entered a new road. This painting and calligraphy in front of us vividly depicts the road ahead, which also means that through unremitting growth and dedication, we will eventually usher in a vertical rise in life and career. Cloud riding crane wishes: Heaven follows people's wishes, just like when a crane is flying, colorful clouds will follow its wishes. Let's wait and see what spectacular sights are waiting for us. Tong Yuan: The realm of Tong Yuan is the highest realm pursued by Buddhism and Taoism, which means "great freedom and bodhicitta". Master Fine expressed his blessing to everyone through this word, wishing everyone all the best. Ternary assimilation: the process of life itself is a process of continuous harvest and release. Harvest, shed, shed, harvest, shed. Being a person who benefits people around him and society is a smart life. Infinite scenery: There is not only infinite scenery here, but also implies that our life and career will have infinite development. We often say that "infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak". After climbing the Maoer Mountain, the beautiful scenery is the best feedback for us. Purple gas comes from the east: this stone is a lucky stone. Purple gas comes from the east and is carved on the lucky stone. You can take pictures as a souvenir. I hope you always have good luck, good luck. Virtue: From the Book of Changes, "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement. The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with morality. " Morality is the body and things are used. Virtue is like a root and things are like branches and leaves. Only by being deeply rooted can it flourish. Only profound moral conduct can carry rich external material blessings. Filial piety: Filial piety in ancient China includes not only filial piety to parents, but also respect and care for group owners, society, leaders, colleagues, brothers and sisters and everyone around them. Kindness is like water: water does not dispute to nourish everything, and the most sincere kindness is like water, asking for nothing in return, only benefiting people around you. Righteousness: As the saying goes, "The right path in the world is vicissitudes", and ancient philosophers summed up a lot of life wisdom. "Righteousness" guided future generations to stick to the right direction and do the right thing correctly! Taoism and nature: the law of nature is the noblest and highest law. Comply with nature, care for nature, let the soul and nature unify, and the realm of life will reach a new height. The way to observe the sky, the fatigue of walking in the sky: The first sentence of the opening of The Yellow Emperor Yin Fujing: "The way to observe the sky, the fatigue of walking in the sky. One yin and one yang said that yin and yang push each other. Heaven, heavenly heart; A trip to heaven is nothing. The way to view the sky is to reach, and the trip to view the sky is to reach peace. Observe heaven and keep its sincerity, and strive for self-improvement by taking a trip to heaven. Harmony between heaven and earth: "Harmony" is the most auspicious word in China's ancient wisdom. One day, people stood on the ground. Heaven, earth and people live in harmony, and the sum of heaven and earth is dzogchen. The French master's "Harmony between Man and Nature" was once engraved on the Huang Huali in Hainan by the president of China Artists Association, and the precious degree of Huang Huali in Hainan has reached the value of grams. This shows the artistic value of harmony between man and nature. Tao: follow the heaven, the Tao is natural, everything goes with the flow, and inaction is great.
