Development history

It is said that Sima Qian (145-87 BC), a great historian of the Western Han Dynasty, visited many famous mountains and rivers in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui, Shandong and Henan when he was 20 years old. When he climbed the main peak of the Dabie Mountain, he saw the scenery on the North and south sides and could not help sighing: "the south of the mountain is full of flowers, and the north of the mountain is covered with snow ！” Hence the name of Dabie Mountain.

Why is the main peak of Dabie mountain called Baimajian? It is said that in the 11th year of Yongping (68th year) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Liu Zhuang built the White Horse Temple in Luoyang of the Yellow River Valley in order to memorize the Buddhist scriptures and statues of Tianshi moteng and zhufalan, the eminent monks of ancient India. In order to promote Buddhism in the Yangtze River and Huaihe River Valley, he named the main peak of Dabie Mountain as Baimajian Temple, there is a white horse tip in the south.

The main peak of Dabie Mountain is called Baimajian because it is said to have something to do with Buddhism. After the introduction of Buddhism into China, in the 11th year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty (68), Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han and Ming Dynasties built Baima temple in Luoyang, also known as the first ancient temple of Buddhism in China, in order to remember the famous monks of Tianzhu (ancient India), Jiashi moteng and zhufalan A temple is known as the "ancestral court" and "source of Buddhism" in China.

Usually, temples are located either on the mountain or by the sea to express monks' spiritual pursuit of keeping away from the dust Market and cultivating their mind. Because the inland population is far more than that on the sea, temples built on the mountain are far more than those built on the sea. Over time, people are used to thinking that temples should be built on the mountain. Therefore, there is a saying that "if there is no temple on the mountain, it will be nameless; if there is no temple on the mountain, it will not work" .

Because the site of Baima temple was decided by the emperor of Han and Ming Dynasties, and it was the first Buddhist temple in China, and did not follow the rule of building on the mountain, after the completion of Baima temple, Indian monks had to imagine looking for a mountain in the south of China, as the ideal mountain and Baima Temple wanted to build on. Although the mountain temple is located in two places, because of the boundless Buddhism, as long as they take the same name, although they look at each other from afar, it is actually built on the mountain This is more conducive to the promotion of Buddhism in China.

Indian eminent monks believe that the Chinese nation originated from the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Therefore, if Baima temple was built in the Yellow River Basin, Baima Mountain should be in the Yangtze River Basin. Therefore, Indian eminent monks selected the mountain with the same name as Baima Temple by drawing lots from a Golden Vase. The result of drawing lots is that the mountain should be located in the southeast of Baima temple, and the mountain is southeast to northwest, facing Baima temple. According to the selection criteria, there is only Changma temple The main peak of the Dabie Mountain is named Baimajian, because it is in line with the requirements of the Yangtze Huaihe River watershed. It is called Jian rather than Shan. One reason is that the Dabie Mountain has already become a mountain, and its highest peak is called Shan again, which is unreasonable in size and height. If it is called Feng, it is not suitable for Baima Temple because the name of the peak is too common. In addition, in order to express Buddhism's worship to the heaven of creation Since then, there has been a saying that "there is a white horse temple in the north and a white horse temple in the South".

Duoyunjian, the second main peak of Dabie Mountain, is 1763 meters above sea level. It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, in order to further promote Buddhism in Dabie Mountain, some eminent monks chose duoyunjian, which is only 800 meters away from Baimajian, to build a temple, and named it Duoyun temple. Later, due to the high mountain and dangerous road, it was difficult for pilgrims to reach and monks to live, so Duoyun Temple gradually declined. There are still ruins of Duoyun temple on duoyunjian.

The main peak of Dabie Mountain (Baimajian) scenic area has been built, which is composed of Baimajian, Longjing gorge, bieshan lake, Siwang mountain and Dabie Villa Resort, as well as mountain rafting and other participatory projects.

Therefore, it has great ornamental value. In terms of the architecture of the scenic spot, it is completely different from many scenic spots in China, either copying the traditional Chinese big roof, or building a large roof Copy the urban architecture, or simply pile up natural materials and so on.
