Jiulian Mountain is a representative of the scenery in the South Taihang Mountains. It has the characteristics of male, dangerous, beautiful and strange, so it is named because the nine peaks resemble a blooming lotus. Located in Songshuping Village, Shangbali Town, huixian city, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, it enjoys a superior geographical position and convenient transportation.
Jiulian Mountain and Jiu Feng crisscross, and three huge canyons are formed due to mountain movement: Xiliangou, Guanhou Grand Canyon and Hongyan Grand Canyon. The three Gorges are surrounded by triangles, with rocks like axes, peaks like knives, waterfalls like practice, and shallow pools and streams at the bottom of the valley like jasper.
In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, Jiulian Mountain also has a rich cultural landscape. The three temples, namely Donglian Temple, Xilian Temple and Houjing Palace, are the places where people in Fiona Fang villages spontaneously believe. Among them, the gods and Buddhists are on the same page, and Buddhism and Taoism are singing, which is very characteristic of folk culture, commonly known as "Little Western Heaven".

jiulian mountain is a representative of the scenery in the south Taihang mountains, which has the characteristics of male, dangerous, beautiful and strange, and is named after the nine peaks resemble a blooming lotus flower. The scenery of Jiulian Mountain is very beautiful, and the account book of Jiulian Mountain is amazing.
It is said that there are nine lotus mothers there, some who make vows step by step, some who go to burn incense in a group, some who go for fun alone, and some who go to ask for blessings in a family. There is no beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain. The mountains are full of green smoke and firecrackers, which is an ideal place for temples and pilgrims.
Jiulian Mountain Scenic Area in Xinxiang is a scenic spot in Henan Province, a national geological park and a macaque reserve. Located in the east of Baligou Scenic Area in Xinxiang City, 55 kilometers away from Xinxiang City. Jiulian Mountain, named after Jiu Feng as a lotus, is the most beautiful virgin land in the South Taihang. Gullies, precipices, qingtan, vegetation, geology and landforms remain primitive and wild. Mysterious gobbledygook, touching chanting, strange beliefs and endangered folk art are the unique original ecological tourism culture of Jiulian Mountain. Jiulian Mountain is a spiritual home for edifying traditional culture and returning to nature, and a good place for leisure and holiday.

nine lotus books: mysterious, weird and spectacular. Jiulian is unique and hard to see elsewhere. If you don't look at regrets, you will be shocked after watching them.

Jiuliantan: To the west of the ladder parking lot, nine pools are connected, and the pools are connected, corresponding to Jiulianshan on the cliff. Jiulian Lake includes Jingyuetan, Yuhuan Lake, Changchun Lake, Junzi Lake, Shuizhi Lake, Shuiyun Lake, Hanhan Lake, Furong Lake and Hehetan Lake.
according to legend, there was only rushing water here, and there was no still pool. A little Qinglong likes the scenery and waterfalls here, and often plays in the water here. There is an old woman at the foot of the mountain who has a strange disease and can't be cured. Knowing that the water here can cure all diseases, Xiao Qinglong turned into a young man, carried the old woman on her back, washed her with water and treated her internally. The water in the canyon is rushing, so it is inconvenient to take a bath, and you can't bathe all over. At this time, Jiulian's mother was preaching in Xilian Temple, and Xiaoqinglong prayed to Jiulian's mother to create a pool to treat the elderly. Mother Jiulian threw nine lotus petals into the canyon, and the petals blinked into nine pools, and the water in the pools gave off an attractive lotus fragrance. Xiaoqinglong let the old man drink the water in the first pool and bathe in the other eight pools. After nine days, the old woman recovered. Since then, many people have bathed in the pool, saying that they can cure diseases and care for skin and beauty. If you don't believe me, you can smell it carefully with your nose. You can definitely smell that the water here is different from other places, and the lotus fragrance is intoxicating.
Tianhu Waterfall: at the source of Jiuliantan. Above the waterfall is a big water pool shaped like a teapot. Legend has it that Jiulian's mother used a pot to hold water to relieve the drought, sprayed rain on the ground, and abandoned the pot here to become a pot-shaped water pool. Waterfalls are ejected from the spout, hence the name Tianhu Waterfall. The waterfall falls 1 meters and rushes down, which is both heroic and euphemistic like fog and rain. You stand at the bottom of the waterfall, or the spray becomes fog and splashes on your head, face and body, which makes people feel like a dream. Stay a little longer, and the water drops will make people feel refreshed and cool.
At this time, we can't help but think of the poem of Li Bai, a great poet in Chinese history, reciting the waterfall:
The sky is shooting at random, washing the blue wall from left to right.
at first, the river fell, and it was half scattered in the sky.
flying beads disperse light clouds, and foam boils the dome stone.
The waterfall stands on three sides with steep cliffs. Among the rocks in front of the water pool, there are patches of beautiful bamboos, swaying gently, showing a thatched pavilion among the bamboos. Although the waterfall here is buzzing, it also makes people feel a little mysterious. Further on, there is a huge square stone called Hero Stage, on which Tai Ji Chuan is performing. With the sound of water and piano, the hero stage is like a martial arts show of singing and dancing. Guzheng performance, Tai Ji Chuan has entered the national intangible cultural heritage list, which is a valuable folk culture in China. Let's listen to this guzheng, which is sometimes soothing and sometimes exciting, and sings slowly in the water and air. It seems that we are in front of the piano of Zhong Ziqi and Boya thousands of years ago, enjoying the deep feelings of meeting bosom friends in the mountains and rivers.
Ladder: It was built in 1972. Twelve migrant workers fought day and night for 146 days to complete the construction of the ladder. At that time, there was no high-tech equipment and no financial support. Only 12 people, only 146 days, relied on their hands, hammers and steel hoes, eating cornmeal and being confused, created this road to mountaineering.
I have enjoyed the Tianhu Waterfall, and turned from the trail to the ladder. There is a sightseeing elevator here. If you want to reach the cliff quickly and easily, you can take the sightseeing elevator here.
the ladder * * * has 999 steps, here is 2 steps, and there are 79 steps up. Everyone looks at this archway, and the couplets on both sides are "whether there is a true and false hero on the stage." "Looking back and sighing at the sky is difficult, overlooking the cliff." Starting from here, you have to climb the ladder. Looking up, you will feel that it is hidden at the end of the ladder in nothingness. Perhaps there is a Tianque Qionglou, where the gods who are high above live and look at the world with mirth, welcoming you to the peak! If you want to see the scenery on the cliff, you can only climb up step by step without fear of hardships and difficulties. As the couplet says, whether you are sincere or not depends on whether you have the courage to go straight to the top.
Tonghui Bridge in Xilian Temple: The first bridge that just entered Xilian Village, "Tonghui Bridge", as its name implies, is a bridge leading to wisdom. The Diamond Sutra is an important Buddhist classic, which belongs to Prajna academically, and Prajna is great wisdom. Knowing everything is called "wisdom", and knowing everything is called wisdom. Prajnaparamita wisdom is not general wisdom, but the wisdom of understanding, understanding and being extraordinary; It's great intelligence, and it's intelligence beyond ordinary intelligence. Legend has it that when Jiulian's mother practiced in Jiulian Mountain, she just meditated hard in the cave at first, but she never understood the true meaning. Guanyin told her to go out of the cave and walk more among the people, so that she would grow wise and understand everything and everything. Old mother Jiulian crossed the stream from here, went to the people to observe the people's feelings and save the suffering, and soon became an immortal. This bridge is a bridge leading to wisdom. Whoever walks over it will gain wisdom and become smart. Don't walk back and forth a few times like you, which makes people smarter and smarter.
Xilian Temple: It was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Liu Xiu built the temple on the order of thanking Jiu Lian's mother for saving her life. In the Tang and Wu Dynasties, Buddhism was respected, and Wu Zetian felt that Xilian Temple was dedicated to female gods, which was just what she wanted. The temple is still a little small, so it is decided to expand Xilian Temple and enshrine Buddhism and Taoism in one temple. Call Xilian Temple Xixin Temple to show their merits. There are still inscriptions in the temple, saying that Xixin Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. To be precise, Xilian Temple was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty and expanded in the Tang Dynasty. Although there is the saying of Xixin Temple, the people do not buy it, but still say Xilian Temple.
Xilian Temple is small, but it has three wonders. They are: the first inclined mountain gate in the world, and Guanyin, Buddha, Taoism and Confucianism sit upside down in a temple for worship.
Xilian Temple is also a place where women's common gods believe, and more than half of them are worshipped in temples, which is also rare. China came from matriarchal society, and worshipped women's procreation for a long time. The construction process of Xilian Temple was related to women such as Jiulian's mother, Liu Xiu's wife Yin Lihua, Empress Wu Zetian, and Li Taihou, the mother of Emperor Wanli of Ming Dynasty. It is self-evident that Xilian Temple worships women's common gods. Many old mothers in temples are actually images of mothers. The most prominent feature of mother and mother gods is fraternity and tolerance. The worship of mother in China is a feature of China folk traditional culture and a traditional virtue of China people since ancient times. The old mother gods here care for and bless all beings, regardless of men, women and children, whether they are officials or people, whether you are poor or rich, who has no mother and who has not grown up under maternal love. The dedication of Xilian Temple in Xiaoxitian reflects the traditional virtues and culture of our mother's kindness and filial piety.
