Introduction to scenic spots

Huxiyan is located at the end of Huxi road in Xiamen. All the rocks in the mountain are extremely dangerous. They are as big as a tiger and as small as a sheep. Shiding three meters wide stone ditch is "Huxi". Arched stone bridge, known as "immortal bridge", also known as "Tiger Bridge". From the bridge to the front, carved with the word "three smiles" Boulder, this is to borrow the allusion of Lushan. According to Lu Shan Ji,

Donglin temple, jiebailian society, Huiyong, Huizhi, Daosheng and other three people attended. Every time monk Huiyuan sees off his guests, he takes the river as an appointment. If he crosses the river, the tiger will roar, so it's called Huxi. Huxiyan is the best place for Xiamen people to enjoy the moon during the Mid Autumn Festival.

Main attractions

Huxiyan is located in the west of zuixianyan. Under the huge rock, there is a hole in the edge layer. In the cave in front of the hole, the flowing spring forms a stream, which is called "Huxi". Mountain rock temple, also known as Huxi rock temple.

Huxiyan mountain is full of huge stones, all of which are extremely dangerous. There is a huge stone like bud beside the mountain gate, which is engraved with "a bud exposed first". After entering the mountain gate, along the pedaling Road, there are inscriptions such as "gradually entering a better place" and "three smiles", which make people travel more happily. At the end of the road is "Huxi", on which is a bow shaped stone bridge, commonly known as "Xianren bridge", also known as "Duhu bridge". After crossing the bow shaped bridge, we come to the cave named "spirit is the name". The name of the cave means "mountain is not high, immortal is the name, water is not deep, dragon is the spirit" in Liu Yuxi's "humble chamber inscription". It's very cold in the cave, which makes people feel like "only when you enter the cave can you know the cold in June".

When you step on the stone steps and look around, you can see the strange shapes of the rocks, such as those cut by a magic axe. Therefore, there is a poem about "all the strange stones and rocks are ghost axes".

On the left side of the temple, there is the night moon cave, which is called Fuhu cave. The top of the cave is carved with the words "Leng layer" and "Xiao Yun". In the cave lies a clay tiger. Every year in the Mid Autumn Festival, the moon shines on the head of the mud tiger. Its eyes are bright and its eyes are staring out of the cave. It's frightening, so it's called "tiger river moon night".

There is a stone gate on the left side. The rocks outside the gate stand side by side, which is called "jiatianjing", or "yixiantian". From the Jiajing, you can climb up the "tiger tooth cave", which looks like the mouth of a fierce tiger. The stone fence around the cave is the same as the tiger tooth. Another ancient banyan climbs around the "tiger tooth" and clings to the "tiger Chin", just like the tiger beard, while the air roots float down, just like the tiger beard. There are eight characters on the upper gum of the tiger mouth, such as "shouran Changxiao" and "Lingkong Yishu", and two stone tigers squat on the lower gum, with vivid shape.

Then turn from Huya cave to Yuhu cave. On the stone wall, there is a poem by Lin Erjia: "after crossing the Huxi river several times, I still love the low mountain when I come back. Once I reach the top, I can see the sea, not like the deep clouds.".

Huxiyan Temple

Huxiyan, also known as huxiyan temple, was built by Chen and his wife in Tang Dynasty. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Maoshi, a gentleman, raised funds for construction. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, monk Yuanfei came to Xiamen to preside over the temple at the invitation of Fujian navy commander Wu Yingzhi. He built a large-scale construction project, rebuilt the main hall of Daxiong, and added chuiyun building, Dabei hall, Yixiao Pavilion and Fuhu cave. After more than 30 years of painstaking management, it has a considerable scale.

After monk Yuanfei, Li Li, the Tongzhi of Xiamen coastal defense, invested 5000 liang of silver to build zhuntige, Maitreya tower, gongfo spring, feijingshi, Duhu bridge and other buildings. Therefore, huxiyan Temple flourished in the Qing Dynasty.

Poets Tao Yuanming and Lu Jingxiu went home to Donglin temple. Huiyuan saw off the guests. Because of the speculation, the tiger roared when they crossed the stream. The three of them laughed and left, so they built "Sanxiao Pavilion" as a memorial.

Huxiyan in Xiamen has adopted the names of "Huxi" mountain and "Donglin" temple. After the "Sanxiao" stone, there is the "Donglin Temple". On the right side of the temple is "night moon cave", also known as "Fu Hu cave". There is a stone carving of "Xiao Yun" at the top of the cave, and a tiger sculpture in the cave, with bright eyes. The entrance of the cave faces east. Every time the full moon rises to the East, especially on the night of the Mid Autumn Festival, the moon is directly in the cave, facing the body of the tiger, so it is called "Huxi night moon". "Donglin Temple" was built by Chi Xianfang, a poet in Xiamen in 1615. It is also called "Yuping Temple" because of Yuping mountain in the south.
