Zhongyan belongs to Longquan mountain range, and the highest point is Cimu rock, with an altitude of 6 16 meters.
It is precisely because Zhongyan is famous for its wonderful scenery and beautiful forest canyons, and it is also known as "the best in Xichuan Linquan"; So we have been here many times for more than ten years and stayed in the mountains for one night. In the past, I had to transfer to many buses, from Chengdu Xinnanmen Station to Meishan Qingshen, then to CMB and minibus, and bumped along the river to Zhongyan. Sometimes I have to take a pickup truck on my way back.
Later, it was much more convenient to have your own SUV, and most of the roads were built into cement roads.
The legend of Zhongyan is the Dojo of Luohannuowei, the fifth ancestor of the mountain. Zhongyan Temple has its own characteristics. The lower temple is close to Minjiang River, and the rock valley is quiet. The temple was founded in the Western Jin Dynasty and flourished in the Tang, Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is said that "Zhongyan comes first, then Emei Mountain". Since the Tang Dynasty, great poets such as Li Bai, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Fan Chengda and Lu You have left poems, travel notes and inscriptions here.
Once when I came, believers from Singapore, Singapore or Hong Kong and Taiwan all came, and the team was huge, which showed its profound influence. Unfortunately, we are not loyal men and women, and we can't understand their feelings. We only come for culture and mountains and rivers, and the worship of movies is another spiritual realm.
Inside the mountain gate, the bamboo forest and nymph depend on each other, the sun shines through and the air is fresh. The mood of tourists is also integrated with nature.
? On the way, you can often see any landscape in the mountains, which is said to strengthen your waist and bones.
A "couple stone" is also quite interesting.
The three characters "Calling Fish Pond" on the rock were inscribed by Su Dongpo, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, when he married Wang Fu.
After the "fish pond", that is, the winding path into the mountain, the sunshine in May and June sprinkled on the ground, and the mood was extremely cool. In addition, birds call cicadas, and the wind blows trees, and every time they come, they have a new feeling.
Zhongyan Shengjing archway is the boundary between Shangsi and Zhongsi.
Here is a statue of Phytolacca acinosa. In ancient times, Huqian archway was the junction of Zhongyanzhong Temple and Si Xia Temple. There were tigers in the mountains, and there were commercial land roots with stones in the front and back.
According to legend, during the Northern Song Dynasty, monks in the middle and lower monasteries competed for incense and sued the county magistrate, who was confused, and sentenced the two monasteries to be "gods and tigers" and let the destroyed tigers make peace. The monks followed the instructions and killed the tiger on the mountain first. When Shang Lu was being destroyed, it coincided with Dongpo's experience. They urged the monks to distinguish between right and wrong, leaving this headless "Shang Lu Gen" cultural relic.
Is the stone in the middle directly below the mountain tiger that was hit by the monk? Kind of like it!
? After a short rest in Jieyin Pavilion, you can climb the mountain all the way and enjoy the endless scenery and human landscape. I remember we were here, and we ate our own home-cooked meals.
The nave is on a steep slope, and there are many caves among the rocks nearby, carved with many stone statues, which is called the "Thousand Buddhas Corridor". Most of the thousands of Buddha rock paintings in the mountains were destroyed, and most of the heads of Buddha statues were stolen. There are also exquisite Buddha statues that were destroyed in that era, and a small part of them were left behind and later rebuilt, showing the rich breath of Buddha to this mountain forest:
All the way, the cliffs are green, the bamboos kiss each other, and there are many flowers beside the cliffs, which is very comfortable.
The endless Cliff Buddha statues and inscriptions on the walls reveal the origin of Buddhism and China culture.
Further up, you will reach the overlying rock inscribed with "Yuquan" by Huang Tingjian. From Yuquanyan to Shuanglong Bridge, you can overlook Emei and Minjiang River. In the Yellow Valley, Yuquan enjoys tea, and on the stone wall, there are an endless stream of literati and dignitaries, singing poems and enjoying tea, forming Yuquan forest of steles. Fan Chengda and Lu You also left poems and stone carvings.
By the way, the tea of Cilaofeng in Zhongyan is also fragrant. After drinking it, it is inevitable to buy some to go home.
There are also many cliff statues between the cliffs.
On the cliff, even the flowers are so heroic! Even trees grow so cool!
There is a bumpy road, first down and then up. Trees and bamboos in the mountain forest are elevated in parallel, and some plantains are dotted among them.
This ancient and exquisite stone lion faces a high stone step with a memorial arch on it. This is the nave.
The sculpture on the stone pier looks like a monkey in a bullfight.
Beautiful cornices and pagodas.
The rooster and bitch of the farm are beautiful, and the free-range chickens are "qualified" for environmental protection.
Chickens also have a harmonious and warm "family happiness".
Zhongsi Temple is located on Cilao Peak, the main peak of Zhongyan. It was called Jingde Temple in ancient times. There are five halls: Shanmen Hall, Four Kings Hall, Sutra Hall and Pharmacist Buddha Hall, as well as more than a dozen Buddhist temples, monasteries and pavilions. It is the most popular cigarette in China and enjoys a high reputation in southwest Sichuan. Unfortunately, the temple buildings were almost destroyed. The scene was reconstructed at 1985. Among them, the word "Jingde Temple" on the stone workshop was written by Zhao Puchu, chairman of the National Buddhist Association.
The "aborigines" here are kind. Whether you buy his incense or not, he warmly invites you to sit down and rest. A big brother lived in his house last time. He has an old mother and a little granddaughter. They get along well with us. Unfortunately, his old mother died before she was 92.
A year later, we went to Zhongyan again, and the little girl grew up by one year, still so innocent and lovely.
Eldest brother also has a in-law, who manages Shangsi Temple. Both of them worked as local production captains in their early years. Their chickens are scattered in the mountains and only fed in the morning and evening, which is very environmentally friendly. We have seen the sign "No herding sheep" on the mountain road, which is very strange. Big brother said they raised everything and stayed in the mountains. They don't take back the incense sold at night. When someone passes by early in the morning, they put their money on the stall and take whatever they need.
The picture below shows the offspring of another little girl in this family-
? Taken at Cilao Peak in Zhongyan.
Further down, it is the Fuhutai.
Turning the nave, beside the highway from Zhongyan to Shang Yan, huge stones are uneven, with many inscriptions from Song and Ming Dynasties. There is a small stone bridge lying across the ravine under the rock, named "Tiger Bridge", and the bridge head is the place where immortals lurk tigers, named "Fuhutai".
"Sichuan Tongzhi" contains: "The endless Zen master in the Tang Dynasty once fell under the stalagmite tiger, so-called Fuhutai." The stone wall on the stage is engraved with the poems of famous people from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty, which is an art treasure house. Among them, the word "Chongyan" inscribed by Shi Li, a native of Gaoling in the Southern Song Dynasty, is the most exquisite, and they are all key protected cultural relics in Sichuan Province.
A temple in Zhongsi Temple has been in a dilapidated state. At this time, avalokitesvara with thousands of hands was hidden in the smoke.
Further up, it is kendo.
Of course, all these embellishments are said in the introduction of scenic spots. To tell the truth, the management here is not very good. Because there is no water, "flowing springs and ringing stones" are no longer extravagant. But everything else is not satisfactory. Mr. Song, who is an antique, said that when I was a child, thirty years ago, it should be equivalent to this statement.
Shangjian road means thinking above. Shangsi has long been destroyed, and the new temple heard that the developers of tourist attractions are going to build it. In fact, when I came to Shangsi a few years ago, I found it very deserted here. The in-laws selling incense set up a donation box for the believers here. We also donated some money. I heard that eldest brother is old and has a serious heart disease. He wants to go down the mountain for infusion in the afternoon. It's hard for him to persist.
The old man in the picture below is the last monk in Zhongyan Temple. He stood alone on the ruins of the burned temple in Shangsi Temple. When I met him many years ago, he was raising "merit money" for rebuilding the Shangsi Temple in Zhongyan (it is said that rebuilding Zhongyan Temple will cost 6.5438+0 million yuan).
There is no temple, but the shadow of moss is still there, silently telling the changes of time.
And insects don't care about the world, which makes tourists sigh:
Further up is Dongpo Reading Pavilion, which was a square shelf a few years ago. In the "5. 12" earthquake, tiles slipped a lot. I wonder if it has been rebuilt now. There are no new temples in recent years, so Dongpo Reading Pavilion is still the same, and it may be worse. Stop looking.
Dengcimufeng returned from the plank road of a stream more than 2000 meters behind the mountain. When walking, the stream jingles like a song, passing through bamboo forests and thorny forests everywhere. ...
