Lingxian Fuyan-Jingfushan, Jingfu Cave, a sacred place of Taoism, has a long history of humanities. Located in Wenshui Township, northwest of Longxian County, at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu, it belongs to the middle branch of Kunlun Mountain, connected to Liupanshan Mountain in the north, stretching for more than a thousand miles, and is located at the junction of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces. The peaks are stacked, the forests are dense, waterfalls and springs abound, and there are even cold pools and caves all over the mountains, which are the wonders of Guanzhong landscape. By 213, there were 13 ancient buildings and 6 architectural sites in Jingfushan, covering an area of more than 2, square meters, and thousands of cultural relics were preserved in the whole mountain. In the Han Dynasty, Loujing, the Hou of Guannei, practiced here, and the ancient fairy rock was named "Jingfu" and "Its Jingfu" by Emperor Liu Qi of Hanjing, and was honored as the supreme "Hermit Fairy Mountain". Jingfu is famous in the world for its outstanding position as the crown of "Yuezhen Gankun has a beautiful scenery and its peak is connected with Xiaohan Mountain". Jingfushan is a national AAA scenic spot in China, a provincial forest park, a key cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province and one of the top ten famous mountains in Baoji City. Jingfushan is also the birthplace of Taoist famous mountains and Longmenkou School, and it is called "living in harmony with heaven and earth, and living in harmony with secluded people."
The main existing Taoist buildings and places of interest in the mountains are Longmen Cave Taoist Temple, Yunxi Palace, Lingguan Hall, Yuhuang Hall, Doumu Hall, Qiuzu Hall, Laojun Hall, Zushi Hall, Descendants Palace, San Xuan Cave, san huang Cave, Qiuzu Cave, grinding stone, Hunyuanding, etc. Among them, Longmen Cave Taoist Temple in Shanxi side canyon was the place where Qiu Chuji cultivated and spread the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Taoism in those years. It is one of the famous Taoist mountains in northwest China. Longmen Cave, named Lingxian Rock in ancient times, is a land full of aura and geomantic treasures, which has long been loved by hermits in past dynasties and is the place where Taoists travel around. According to the monument, Longmen Cave "began in the Spring and Autumn Period and was built in the Western Han Dynasty". According to legend, in the Western Zhou Dynasty (now Hanguguan Town, Lingbao City, Henan Province), Hanguguan ordered Yin Xi to help Laozi write the Tao Te Ching for 5, words, then he left his post and returned to the mountains to live in seclusion, and was named Lingxianyan. During the Warring States Period, it was renamed Doutan Cave. At the time of Emperor Jingwen of the Western Han Dynasty, Mr. Hou Loujing, a former official of the Emperor Langguan, abandoned his official position and went into Taoism. In his later years, he lived in seclusion and practiced here and changed his name to Jingfushan. Sun Simiao, a medical scientist in the Tang Dynasty, avoided imperial edicts and lived in seclusion, applying drugs to help the world. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, Ma Danyang and Qiu Chuji, the "seven real people" of Taoism, practiced and preached here, and Qiu Chuji came to live here from Panxi, Baoji, and practiced here for seven years, which was called Longmen Mountain. At the foot of the back mountain, there was only a Yuwang Temple dedicated to Dayu's water control. Later, the name of the mountain was changed to Longmen Cave, and after the landscape was added, the Longmen Sect of Taoism was founded, and Qiu was also the founder of the Longmen Sect of Taoism, becoming the most successful Quanzhen Gaodao in the history of Taoism in China. Qiu Chuji was revered by the Southern Song Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, and was summoned by Jin Shizong and Yuan Taizu for many times. He was appointed as a national teacher by Genghis Khan and took charge of Taoism in the whole country. Since then, Longmen Cave has gained great fame, stepped into glory and reached its peak. His disciples relied on mountains and waters, took advantage of the scenery, built temples, built grand mountain gates and expanded their scale. Since then, Longmen Cave has been renovated and expanded by a group of military and political dignitaries, including Yang Hucheng and Sun Weiru, and has been repeatedly looted and burned by soldiers, and finally formed today's style.
According to the Yuchen Palace Monument in the Yuan Dynasty, in the 52 years after the death of Qiu Chuji, the founder of Longmen Daoism School, Hezhi, the founder of the Sect, really agreed to build the old residence of Qiu in the third year of Yuan Shizu to Yuan Dynasty (1266), and it was completed in the sixteenth year (1279), and its scale is unknown. He Zhizhen and others followed the Quanzhen Taoist rules, left home and settled in the forest to practice, overhauled the temple and the grand mountain gate. In addition, Qiu Chuji was appointed as a national teacher by the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and he always led Taoism in the country and was respected by Taoism both inside and outside, and the reputation of Longmen Cave was greatly shocked. Later generations built palaces and temples, adding color and scenery, and the Taoist temple pattern gradually enriched and became a big jungle of Taoism in northern Shaanxi, and the scenic spots of Jiangshan could last forever. Longmen Cave is located in the border area between Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.
The mountains are stacked with obstacles, and Shan Qi is beautiful in water, with deep caves and lush forests, and the scenery is fascinating. On a beautiful day in the spring and autumn, the mountains are covered with green flowers, the mountains are full of flowers, the sun is clear and the moon is bright, the purple fog is lingering, the clouds come out of the mountains before the wind and after the rain, the crows are noisy at night, and the streams are ringing, which is a landscape wonder in Guanzhong. People come here for a swim, which is refreshing. Although it was severely damaged during the Cultural Revolution, the renovation of temples and roads in recent years solved the problem of water supply and power supply, which not only restored the old concept, but also increased the charm. In 1984, the People's Government of Shaanxi Province approved Longmen Cave as the first batch of tourist spots open to the outside world in the province, and the number of tourists increased year by year, reaching more than 1, in 1989, and it has become one of the important tourist destinations in western Guanzhong. Longmen Cave Taoist Temple: Longmen Cave Taoist Temple is the holy land of Taoist Dragon Sect, and it is also the ancestral home of Quanzhen Dragon Sect. It is mainly used by Zhenwu Emperor and widely assisted by Purdue Tianzun. It is one of the five suspended temples in China. It is a suspended Taoist temple with the longest history (since Qin and Han Dynasties), the most breathtaking architecture (high altitude), the most important position of Taoism (pushing the motherland's Taoism to the peak of history), the most unique natural geographical location (the junction of Kunlun and Qinling Mountains), the convergence of mountains and rivers, and the purity and purity of the land (the holy place of practice).
Arctic Palace (the Temple of the Infinite Patriarch): built on the north terrace of the main courtyard, you can climb the 153-step stone ledge from Nieyun Bridge at Houshan Root and enter Longmen Daoyuan. It is the largest five halls in the Taoist temple, magnificent, carved with beams and painted with buildings, and magnificent in spirit. In the temple, there is a statue of the golden body of the father of the Arctic Xuanqiong Zhenwu, and the statues of the four heavenly kings (marshals) are accompanied on both sides, which is majestic and solemn. On the table, there is a sitting statue of Emperor Haotian Jade, cast by iron in Qing Dynasty, which is 1 meter high and weighs about 25 kilograms. He wears a crown and a embroidered robe and jade belt, and his face is plump. In addition, there is a sitting statue of the infinite ancestor carved in ebony, which is about 1 meter high and finely carved. This hall is the main hall of the Dojo, with buildings, banners, treasure covers, scriptures, bells and drums, and Taoist instruments, where fasting and chanting are held. There is a cloud-plate-shaped flaky hanging on the wooden frame, weighing about 15 kilograms. It hits with something and sounds like a bell, which can be heard in the distance. Deep under the temple, there is a deep stone cave named Longmen Cave. It is said that Qiu Chuji once lived here when he first arrived. Today, there is a slate sign with dragon pattern and the word "Xiushui" at the moment of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty.
Qinghe Palace (Qiuzulou): located on the upper west side of the main hall of the Arctic Palace, in a straight line with Dongshan Gate. In the old building, there was a statue of seven real people of Quanzhen Sect, but now it is a statue of Qiu Chuji, a real person in Changchun. In the past, all the cultural relics left over from the mound were hidden here, but now they have been lost. There are 3 buildings with exquisite structure. After renovation, they are elegant and solemn.
The temples near the Taiqing Temple: from the front of Dongshan Mountain, the pavilions and caves are arranged along the mountain, including the Lingguan Temple dedicated to the Taoist protector, the Bagua Pavilion dedicated to Dong Wanggong, the Hall for Taiyi to save the suffering God, and the Taibai Hall dedicated to the three officials of Fengtian (Yao), Shunshui (Yu). There are 81 Taoist story murals of "Tai Shang Yi Qi San Qing" painted in the 13th year of Qing Daoguang (1833) according to "Lao Zi Hua Hu Jing". The lines of the characters in the picture are outlined, clear and vivid, and the colors are simple and elegant. It is a rare artistic treasure in Taoist temple view and an outstanding work of folk artists.
Wangmu Palace and Suoti: Wangmu Palace is on the west side of the cliff mountainside in Longmen Cave, where she worships the statue of the Queen Mother of the West (also known as the Golden Mother). The temple has three towers, with a high middle and a low side. The structure is symmetrical, and the algae painting is exquisite. The whole system is carved on the wall and overhead, and there are no leaning sides. There are more than 1 meters long iron rope hanging ladders under the temple. Looking up in front of the Arctic Palace, people on the stairs squirmed like ants, which was steep and mysterious and frightening.
Mixed Yuanding: also known as Mixed Yuange, it is the highest place in Longmen Cave, with an altitude of 1,8 meters and a distance of about 13 meters from the ground of Daoyuan. Anyone who has learned something about it takes pleasure in having the courage to visit here. The cave of the ancestral shrine of the mixed patriarch is all erected with a bucket arch in the air, set off by cutting the wall, which is quite steep and can be described as ingenious. The plank road leading from the Taiqing Hall is about 5 meters long. All the holes are drilled in the cliffs, iron piles are driven, and bridges are built with wooden boards. Visitors climb the iron rope and climb against the wall, which is often creepy. Hanging in the air, crossing the plank road, climbing the iron rope, climbing the ladder, entering this pavilion, boarding this roof, overlooking the vast forest, panoramic view, looking around, white clouds in hand, just like being in the sky, suddenly feeling "the other mountains all appear dwarfs under the sky.". The pavilion is dedicated to the ancestors of the mixed elders.
centering peaks (incense burner peak and wangshan peak): for the sake of peace of mind, the peak is at the western end in front of Sigong Temple, and the solitary peak is independent, just like being cut, and only a few people can sit on the peak. Therefore, the peak is facing the Qiuzu Building, such as the incense burner in front of the building, so it is also called the incense burner peak, also known as the peak. When you climb the peak, you can have a panoramic view of the whole cave. There are three deep holes in the peak waist, which are inaccessible.
Qiuzu Cave: It is located on the cliff behind Qizhen Building, and the wooden ladder chain is about 4 meters high. The cave is about 1.5 meters high, 3 meters deep and 6 square meters in area. It is the monastery of Qiu Chuji, a real person in Changchun. In the cave, there is a grinding stone, a relic of Qiu Chuji, with a diameter of about 5 cm, which was the grinding stone of Qiu Zu in those days. And there is a statue of Qiu Chuji. The cave wall is engraved with the word "Changchundong Temple". Visitors, especially Quanzhen disciples, will naturally feel the feeling of "stopping at the top of the mountain" when they come here, and they will have a deep affection for the ancient times and make a sincere pilgrimage.
Danyang Cave: the monastery of Ma Yu, a real person in Danyang. The caves are all narrow, and only one person can live there, so you have to climb the iron rope to climb.
Chunhua Cave: Chunhua Cave is located at the lower side of the two caves, which is said to be the residence of Qiu's female disciple Li Chunhua.
Zaoyang Cave: It is located on the cliff steps on the west side of Longmen Cave, more than 2 meters above the bottom of the ditch. The sidewalk is connected with the terrace on the west side of the ditch. The cliff wall is cut to erect a slab bridge with a width of more than 1 meters, and it is fenced with iron cables to access the future. Because the cave is located in the west and east, you can see the sun first, hence the name. The two caves in the cave are connected, and there is a statue of the drug king, Xun Simiao, and a portrait of the story of the drug king. There is only a platform outside the cave that can be rotated. In the past, I used to raise donkeys here to grind noodles and supply mountain farms. Because of the cliff in the cave, it faces the abyss, and there is no bottom. Coupled with the cold wind call, it is rushing and roaring, and it is frightening to face the cave.
Hei Hu Pond: It is deep in Dashitan under Nieyun Bridge at the entrance of Houshan Mountain, with a diameter of about 5 meters and a water depth of 1 meter. Because of the jagged rocks near the pool, it is named Hei Hu Pool. When mountain torrents broke out, the rolling stones and sediments in the pool churned out, rushing and surging, and the mountains rang and the valleys echoed like tigers roaring and leaping, which was very spectacular.
