An isolated monastery

A long time ago, there was a court official who came to Ji 'an by boat with his family from Jiujiang to be an official. One day, he was sitting at the bow watching the scenery when he suddenly saw a stream of red water as thin as silk thread in the river. Because he is a master of Taoism (reincarnation of Buddha), he can see that this is immortal water and thinks it is a once-in-a-lifetime immortal intention to patronize him. So I decided not to take office and follow the fairy water to find the source and the celestial world. Therefore, from the cadre to the harmony, and from the harmony to the Longyuan mouth. One night, the fairy held a dream and told him that only by settling down his family and walking alone can he find the original celestial world. So he made his home in Tang Qiao (now a natural village under the jurisdiction of Baikou Village in Koukou Town, Long Yuan). Later, people built a buddhist nun in Tangqiao to commemorate buddhist nun. After the master settled his family, he continued to walk along the red water until he came to Shangshan Mountain in Qixi Mountain. Seeing red water flowing from the cracks in the stone, he lived in a building, where he lived in seclusion, drank mountain springs, ate wild fruits and practiced meditation. He was called Zen Master Ci Yun, and his residence for practicing life was converted into the present Shangshan Temple.

After going to Shansi Temple, Master Ciyun moved the Black Dragon to longtan lake in Xiacang and Moxiling nearby, where the Black Dragon came to visit. Seeing that Cooper had no land to farm, he did so. I saw the rugged barren hills covered with thatch and strange rocks just now, and suddenly became flat. It provided Cooper with land for production and living materials, which ensured his survival.

And extract some humanistic sources related to Shangshan Temple as follows: Shangshan Temple had a long-standing reputation during Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. At that time, people inside and outside the county were exploring wonders and seeking seclusion, and tourists came here in an endless stream. Write a poem, take a trip, or read a book. According to legend, Li Xiaoguan read the Book of Changes here in the Ming Dynasty, and the elder Cooper wrote Shangshan Zhi. In the Qing Dynasty, Long Kebao engraved Yongxin County Zhi and Kangxi Zhi. Writer Huang Xuezhong wrote a poem for Shangshan Temple: "I am also looking for the source, and I want to arm in arm." Zhen walked in teams, and the grass was covered with deer. It's a miserable turn, and the mountains are flat. By the time the doorbell rang, I had realized that there was no life. "(from" Shangshan Temple "by Han Han)

The above introduction is the past history of Shangshan Temple I went to today.

Shangshan Temple is not far from our village, because it is in the mountains and I have never been there.

I brought five children today, and it took me almost two hours to get there. The child's physical strength is much stronger than mine. I am so tired that I can't help regretting this trip.

There is only one temple on the mountain, a beautiful temple and a docile dog.

Miao Zhu speaks very gently. She comes from Shandong and has been here for two years. Gossip learned that several snakes crawled into her room in the middle of the night. She took them in, hid them in the quilt after hibernation, and even recited scriptures for them.

When we burned incense and worshipped Buddha, she carefully taught us the steps and let us pick up the scriptures ourselves. I want to donate some incense money to her, and she will return it to me after receiving it, so that I can release more at ordinary times.

I don't know what she went through, but she came all the way to the mountains on our side and lived a paradise alone.

No electricity, no cell phone. She really leads an isolated life.
